A place of YES...

I saw an interview the other day with a lady who wrote a book titled "A Place of Yes" and I thought - that's where I want to be. I want to wake everyday in a place of yes. Yes to all of life abundance. When the universe comes asking... are you ready? I want to be... in a place of YES. No hesitation, no pause, just instantly answer YES, yes I accept. Yes I am willing to have it, yes let it flow through me, let me offer no resistance. YES means there's a shift, a shift that I must be present to be aware of it or it will past me by.

YES I am ready!

Observer...

I'm trying to be more of an observer in my life instead of placing judgement on what I see. When walking through my day I see something or someone I am trying to be more aware of just thinking - is this something I want or not? It doesn't make it right or wrong or the person's choice right or wrong, it is just an observation for the choices I want to make in my life. I hope as I remind myself to be more present and just observe it will become more of an habit. It opens up more allowing - allowing good to flow when energy is not needed to pass judgement or stress over what others are doing or not doing. It can be fun to let life be less complicated and just "observe".

A few Haiku's

A seed is planted

Forest of diversity

Mother Natures pleased

Car and Nature collide

Leaving a lifeless body

May you rest in peace

Trees dressed in blossoms

Spring dancing all around us

Summers on her way

They serenades me

The owl, the woodpecker, the hawk

All while hanging laundry

It's been a while...

I've spent the last couple of months trying to find a new balance in my life. Can't say I've accomplished that and I've missed writing on my blog, so instead of waiting for the perfect moment to come along I'm going with the way life is in this present moment. Going back to school has been a challenge trying to fit it into my life with all the wants and needs of the family. I'm working on the concept of "Good Enough". I can't be everything to everyone, I can't get everything done as a single parent and what I am and what I do is "good enough". Even in my school work there comes a time when what I'm working on is got to be "good enough. The tests I take, the grade's I get are "good enough". At the end of the day none of these things define me and the bottom line is about LOVE. Did I love myself, did I love others, did I refrain from judging myself and others? Was there joy in my day? I am.... "Good Enough" just because I am.

Charlie's Angels...

This January I started taking classes at my community college. I took classes at this same facility twenty plus years ago and things have changed a bit since then. You can now take on line classes and never step foot in a class room. And all communication with those classes is through email and forum's. I realized the other day that talking with "virtual people" (no picture) made me feel a little like the "Charlie's Angels" (it is a show from the 80's). This person gives you an assignment and then you take it, accomplish it, all the while talking back and forth but never seeing them. Eventually I will finish the class and not know who or what this person looks or sounds like. It will take some getting use to. I don't go through a fast food drive through sometimes because I like actually seeing and talking with someone, so I go in instead. But I have to say it is nice to go to school in my PJ's.

To live by...

No matter how long we have traveled on the wrong road, we can always turn around.

This saying was on the "Positively Positive" Facebook page and it's nice because it always gives me something positive to focus on everyday. I liked what it says - "that we can always turn around", and even if that is only in our thoughts It reminds me I always have a choice.

Secret...

As the sunshines starts the melting of snow and ice I have secretly enjoyed the forced captivity. I am such a home body. I could stay home for weeks and it wouldn't bother me. It was nice to know it wasn't a decision I was making to not go anywhere or do anything - I couldn't. The world as I knew it STOPPED. It was so quiet, no cars and business of the day, just blanketed in pure white snow and then ice. I relished in the thought of not having to make excuses to myself or others why I couldn't or didn't go anywhere. It was decided for me! That is my little secret I'll let you in on this new year - looks like I will be headed out today into the world once again.
