Sitting on the beach by myself I realized that being alone is probably on of the best gifts we can give to ourselves’. This is the middle of February, my last blog January hadn’t even began and we are NOW in the middle of February how fast time fly’s and let me tell you, the older you get the faster it fly’s. People are changing and leaving this phase of life that we have become so comfortable with and are racing to grab the gold ring of the new phase of life. Our transitions into the new 5D diminsion is here and whether we want the change or not it is here. I have made tremendous shifts and have charged through challenges I would have never thought possible. Yet, something or someone will test us to see if we really have made the change. We will pass and we might fail but because of the gift of life and the connection we have we God we can make it, maybe not at that moment but we will make it. I am so thankful for all of the blessings God has blessed me and my family with and I want to keep my connection with God open and receptive to his love and grace. I kow at times we all question “Why?” just know you will get your answer. This is really is the year of realization and some things we don’t want to realize just know you have all the equipment to justify and change any and all the things in your life. Wishing you continued success on your journey knowing that you are NEVER alone in your walk of life.

Love be with you

        Eight days until the end of 2011, supposedly the beginning of the end of the world. How many times have we heard predictions of the end of life just this year alone? As I look back over the past year, there were so many I lost count and yet we are still here. I know for many that it was the end for them whether it was because of an illness or accident or violent crime. When the end is meant for you there is NO stopping the inevitable and death comes knocking at your door.  I feel for me personally that death has happened to me in a metaphoric sense I have let go of old unfulling habits and attitudes and embraced new positive ones so in a sense I have ended my world as I knew it in the past. Over the last three years my transformation has been challenging to say the least but also looking back on it now, it has also been very rewarding.

   I feel that 2012 is going to be a brand new mindset and in a way it will be the end of old thought process and the beginning of a spiritual awakening we have never experienced in our lifetimes. As you reflect on the past year, really look deep within yourself and see the dramatic changes you have made in your life. Recognize the changes that have occurred with and without you really thinking “When did this happen?” New lifestyles are being created, we are eating better, exercising, and meditating these are not new things but we have awakened to need to change our lifestyle in order to live a better life.  As you set your intentions or resolutions for the new year take a moment to really think about how you want the quality of your life to be, not for your spouse or partner not for kids  or parents but for “YOU” what can you do to make you happier, peaceful and be in harmony with all that come in contact with you.  Spend time journaling and expressing yourself in doing this you are releasing and making room for the new thoughts to manifest in your world.

        As the new year approaches and the old releases give thanks for all of things you have accomplished this year and even for the painful experiences who have endured and know, that you are the co-creator of your world and make this new year be ALL have you have ever dreamed possible for yourself and live your life just the way you want to live it. I say to each of you “Namaste” and may God/Source bring you the blessings you desire now and forever. This is a never ending process and as we strengthened our connection with source we realize that miracles happen all the time and through LOVE any and everything will be done for our highest good.

Love be with you

This time last year I was with my family, we had not been together for years and it was such a treat to be with my family, laughing and talking about the past. The year has gone by at a rapid speed and sitting here with my husband just reflecting on the past brings such warm feelings to my heart. I know that we are all connected and even though we are not together in flesh we are together in spirit.

   I am so appreciative of all that I have and for all the love and joy that my family and friends bring to me. The holiday’s can bring out feelings of happiness, sadness and even guilt. This year I am extending the offer to everyone to just stop and look into the eyes of your love ones and tell them how much you love and appreciate them and all the things that they do for you. I wish the very best of love to all of you and hoping your holiday’s are beyond your deepest desires.

God bless and may his love cover you and keep you safe in this and the upcoming holiday’s.

Love be with you

OCCUPY YOURSELF

            In these times of new phrases, “It is what it is, at the end of the day, etc.” Now we have  “Occupy”  From Los Angeles, to New York, to all around the world, we are shouting “Occupy!” We are moving fast and the directions sometimes intermingle and crisscross, but they lead us to the same point.

            In the world in which we are presently living, there is so much deception and denial that is really boggles our mind. This is a realization that has hit us continually in the face and still we are sometimes in pure denial. I don’t understand why it is so necessary for a person to deny his wants and needs; moreover, be up front about them, especially to the one he is “supposed” to love. If you are unhappy, unfulfilled, or you are NOT into the person you are with– then be wo/man enough to say that.

           What you seem to ignore is the fact that we are ALL connected and we do feel and feed off of each other’s energies. I am a firm believer that if you go looking for stuff you will find it, if the person is sloppy enough to leave cookie crumbs, I am going to follow the trail, and guess who I will find with their hands in the cookie jar? That is not the thing that pisses me off the most!  It is the denial and bullshit they give you when you are looking right at their face. If you are wo/man enough to do it, then step up and admit it. Don’t look at the person like a deer caught in the headlights. I am sick and tired of the bullshit!  Remember the old cliché “any action will cause a reaction.”  Therefore, expect to face the reality when the time comes.

           Let’s occupy ourselves in a way that releases the other person or at least give them the choice. People really think they can pass the shit* out and expect not to get their hands dirty. For the ones that have been the doormats, who have been stumped on, stepped on, and had the shit* rubbed in their faces; I am asking you to grab that welcome mat(yourself) shake it off, get you some very strong hooks(faith), and hang it up saying “Occupied”… enter at your own risk! Let people know you are not accepting the garbage they are trying to dump on you. I am not just talking about your partner—I am talking about anyone in your life that does not sincerely value you as a loving person, or anyone that brings you down.  They need to know that they are not welcomed any longer and that you are NOT afraid of grabbing hold of your life and living it to the very fullest.

         Occupy yourself and be worthy of all the good God has given us and know that just because we might not be loved by the person we are with; there is someone who will love us the way we deserve, even if that someone is the most important person in your universe… that person is “YOU.”

*I apologize for the profanity but sometimes those are the most appropiate

words to use

     When thinking of “Life Lessons” in our minds, why do we believe that it has to be insurmountable moments or life altering decisions? It is sometimes the little changes that have the biggest impact on you and the people around you.  I must confess that during these past few months, I’ve had to look in the mirror of my soul and quiet honestly, I didn’t like the reflection I saw.  Deep inside I knew I had to make some internal changes.

     I got caught up in the negative energy of bashing someone that is near and dear to my heart.  I took the hook and hung on, meanwhile, slung that negativity everywhere. What an eye-opener! After the fact, I told myself that I would have to stop and it was best to just keep my own opinions. Needless to say, I am human, and once again found myself stating things I had no right to state. Even though this time it was out of concern, my words were taken completely out of context.

    Sometimes life takes us right back to that place where a lesson was taught just to make sure we truly learned that lesson.  Evidently, I failed, but you know what?  I only have to hit the pavement two times to know that it’s best to keep any opinions and assumptions to myself; and it’s best to allow whoever is involved in the actual situation to vent and speak their minds without my input. I am a person who is not afraid to express my thoughts, and at times, I have expressed some words with others that have come back to haunt me. So I ask myself, when things keep coming back to haunt us…is this perhaps a mysterious way the Universe makes sure that our lesson was learned?

It’s a couple of weeks into June, the months are slipping by as fast as the sands in a time capsule and it is the time for change. So much has happened to me personally and the changes I see are amazing, unbelievable and exciting to say the least. I look in amazement at where I am today and wonder how did I get here! Two years ago, I felt my life had no meaning I would start projects and end them as quickly losing interest with no remorse. I have made commitments I never thought possible and I love that I can get up every morning and feel like I have purpose. The only thing that has changed is my perspective of how things should be and how they are, and how I respond to them. I love my life, I love my passions and I love my purpose, my purpose being to LOVE myself and to share that l0ve with all that I come in contact with, so if you want to change things it really is ALL up to you to do just that, live your life on your terms and share your appreciation for life and God with everyone you meet. Time is slipping by quickly be the change you want to see for your future and that of your extended self.

Love be with you

I celebrate and give thanks for  the ever-renewing life of God within me.

   Today is a  very special day for I dedicate myself to celebrating the “new me” that is emerging moment by moment. I am grateful for each opportunity to learn and grow. Every opportunity to achieve and every challenge to overcome carries with it a message from the Spirit that I am ready, that I can climb ever higher. My upward journey challenges me to be better than I have ever before realized I could be. Each new lesson in life renews me and revitalizes my interest in expressing the indwelling spirit of God in every area of my life. Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to everyone! Every day is a spiritual birthday and I rejoice in each new opportunity to begin again.

“Love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable see, though the living and enduring word of God.” 1 Peter 1:22-23
