Life Happens

Life is happening.  It is always happening.  

No matter where I am, what I am doing, how I am feeling...  life is happening.

My life.  Your life.  Our life.  Life.

I've heard it said that it is not what is actually happening, it is our response to what is happening.  This feels very true to me.  Very true.

How I react will be my experience.  I can choose my experience(s).  Do I dare stop, explore within myself  and choose my most honest, loving and best way to experience 'what is' showing itself to me -- from experience to experience; moment to moment; breath to breath...

The question arises that why sometimes I can stay sane and calm/vibrant and other times I feel not sane and chaotic/confused.  The answer that comes is that my reaction is from what I tell myself about each situation, feeling, miracle, conundrum as I label and 'see' it through the lenses of my own beliefs, experiences, strengths and fears.

We all have them.  The longer I live, the more I have a palace of stored 'experiences'.  They are all me.  I am all them.  

I have been exploring my truth, my responses, my tales, my fears and my strengths.  I can feel exhausted.  I can feel empowered.  I can feel so many things.  I can feel almost nothing. 

This can, perhaps, be the 'work' of the human spirit.   

Oh, this human experience is IT.  The reason I am here.  The reason You are here.  The reason We are here is to experience the human experience.  Each of ours is unique and yet can have many similarities.  

I send You gratitude.  I send You love.  I send You hope.  It is my greatest wish that I can help/support you to connect to Yourself; to You.  To who you are and want to be.  To the best of You as you go through the rest of You.  Ha and true.

May you just now in this moment, this experience, this breath, go within yourself and feel/see (check in).  Is this the You that You want to experience.  Is there a better way...  Is there another option you'd prefer...  Is there another way to 'see' and experience You here and now.  You know best what is going on within You.  Choose for You.  

May you fill yourself up with love and walk your way.  

Live your life.  Let You happen.  Be true, loving, trusting, kind and easy on You.

"You know you got it when it makes you feel good." Janis Joplin    Even if it is a different kind of 'good' than what you have known before or the same kind of what you've always called good.  Good is good.  

We live.  We change.  Life changes.  Times change. 

May you always be lovingly, true You.  Breathe.  

God bless humanity and all living things.

Here Now

I come here heavy.  Swimming in my own emotions and feeling through my whole body.  It is a thang happening here for me.

I have known easy access to my soul and my heart.  I feel 'life' is too heavy for them right now or it may be that my body and life just want more attention these days. A new kind of focus and beingness. It can be a true conundrum for me.  There is a necessary and new alignment that is begging to.. well, be aligned.  

I can relax into my body and feel the blueprint of my life flowing through me.  I acknowledge that there is a master plan for me; for each one of us.  I believe we were born with it and the experiences that we create and/or find ourselves in are a part of our innate journey.   What we are here to learn, we will learn.  What is meant for us will not miss us.

Divine timing.  Divine Journey..  You/Me.

As I sit in what can feel like despair, I don't find it much fun.  I do find when I honor what I feel and be truthful about it...  that's when the magic of me happens.

May you let the magic of You happen.

We are meant and made to feel the gamut of life.  There is something real to me about as high as we can experience ourselves is as low as we can experience ourselves.  Balance is nice and many real life moments are outside of ourselves feeling balanced.

We can breathe deep and balance.  We can be just in this moment and choose the depth of the OKay-ness within.  We can feel amazing and right on.  We can feel ugh and way off.  We can learn not to label the 'amazing' or the 'ugh' if we want.  This is being human.  I continue to be love as best as I can.  I continue to pray for humanity, mother earth and all living things.  

I'd like us all to give peace a change; I mean give peace a chance...

I wish you harmony within yourself.  I wish harmony amongst ourselves.  Harmonize from within.  Just maybe this can create harmony throughout.  

May you get your most True You on and may you be kind to yourself and to others...  Maybe even extra kind just now. 

Go You.  Every time you are honoring you and feeling in harmony with everything you, the energy you emit is 'medicine' for all. 

Right On.  

May you be the truest, best, authentic You that is available to you now.  

May you let your loving truth lead.

Oh, the places you have yet to go. !  Whoop.  

Be here now in all that peacefully honors You.  

A Breather

Check in time invitation…

Are your shoulders relaxed... How about your jaw... Imagine the ground/chair/bed underneath you completely supporting you…  let go.  

May you relax into yourself.

May you check in with your body every so often.  Take a breather.  

May you take a couple deep breaths; from time to time.

Take one full deep breath; in and out.   All the way in.  Fill up the belly.  Then All the way out.

Then a 2nd breath; in and out.   All the way in.  Fill up the belly.  Then All the way out.  Slow and deep.  

Then a 3rd breath; in and out.   All the way in.  Fill up the belly.  Then All the way out.  Notice if the air is cooler going in and warmer as you breathe out.

Then a 4th breath; in and out.   All the way in.  Fill up the belly.  Then All the way out. As you breathe out, relax and let go of any and all tension in your body.   

Then a 5th breath; in and out.   All the way in.  Fill up the belly.  Then All the way out. Continue to take slow, deep breaths for as long as you’d like.

Thank Yourself for all that You do and all that You are.    Give yourself your love.  Fill yourself up with it.   Give yourself a hug.

U

It is ‘U’ time.  There is an Univers(ity) inside of you. 

Honor yourself.  

The way you feel.  The way you are.  What you know.  What you think.  Who you were before anyone told you who to be, what to do, what to feel and/or not feel.  

Everything You.  

May you honor You.  

Everything you feel is there for real reasons.   

You.  YOU.  The truth of You is your unique and ultimate gift.  All your glory.  All your pain.    

May you open up and free your authentic, innate self.   

This is what I know I am begging myself to do deeper and more.  It can be UnFun.  It can be exhausting.  Whatever I have enjoyed being, I can create again. I can add onto. I can create anew. It is freeing, exhilarating and the best I can be for myself and for others. 

When I share my authentic self, I open to the freedom of Just Being Me.

When I live in the freedom and ease to be me, I invite you to do the same for You.  

Let freedom dry up all this ‘mess’ that many of us are experiencing and turn it into as many harmonious opportunities as possible.  

I wish you the freedom to ‘Just Be U’.  To connect to and let your love (for) lead.  

Let your freedom energize your life and let your love ring in, out and around the experience of being You.  

Invite Peace

May we step outside of our heart and persona with each relationship we have.   Look anew.  Look anew from a place without titles (such as woman/man, daughter/son, mother/father, caregiver, wife/husband, friend, professional title, etc.), without judging right or wrong, or any habitual connections/ways/beliefs.

A new you.  A new look with new eyes.  

Appraise each experience and relationship this way.   

May you meet it all where it is now.  Where you are now.  Where they are now. Where life is now.  In this present moment.  Again and again and again.   

Love.      Let love.  

Truth.     Let truth. 

Trust.     Let trust.   

Breath.   Breathe.  

May we rise into this new time on earth in new ways with the goal being peace.   

Support each other through who we are and who we want to be that gives us the most peace. 

May our own peace reach each other’s peace.   

May we have peace within so peace is the first thing we share.  

Amen.  

Mini Moon

“Earth will get a second moon for about two months this year when a small asteroid begins to orbit our planet. The asteroid was discovered in August and is set to become a mini-moon, revolving around Earth in a horseshoe shape from Sept. 29 to Nov. 25.”  Google

Mini Me.  Our self as a child. They are always with(in) us. 

May you let the child that you were walk with the adult that you are.  Play. Love. Be.  

Perhaps, imagine ‘mini-you’ sitting on your lap and/or hugging/holding them; thanking them and shower them with any and all love and support they may crave.  Together, live your whole, fulfilling and amazing self.  

Thank yourself for all that you are grateful to yourself for.  For all you survived; for all that you are proud of; for all that you are and are becoming; for all your growth; for all your accomplishments; and for still choosing love and kindness.  

Perhaps, look in the mirror and tell the person looking back (You) how much you love them; again and again and again.

Perhaps, write down as many things as possible you love about yourself.  Invite your list to grow.

May you be your own best friend.  You are the only one you spend your entire life with.  Treat yourself exceptionally.

When we are our true and fulfilled self, we are our best self.  Sharing our best self feels, well, best.

Heal and uplift thyself which, in turn, heals and uplifts the world.  

As the moon(s) orbit(s) the planet, may we be open to our journey being one of  kindness, humanity and bringing healing for ourselves and our world.  Let us invite and create a more harmonious world for ourselves, our children and all living things.

Thank You.  

Amen.  And so it is.

Love Thyself

I come here without anything on my mind to share.  I feel quiet.  I feel when I ask myself when enough is enough, then it is probably enough  Ha. 

The world can feel messy.  The world can feel amazing.  The world can feel 'interesting'.  The world can feel enough.

Our lives can feel messy, amazing, interesting and anywhere from not enough to enough to too much.  I hope you can land on enough again and again and again.

May you stand in the truth that you feel, that you are experiencing, that you are surrounded by and that you are in...  Be in the truth of all that shows up for you and through you.  

If there is confusion or uncertainty, perhaps, stand outside of yourself (so to speak) and look in.  When you feel uncertain, may you ask yourself what is one thing that feels good to do or think just now that is available to you.   Now.  Just now.  In this moment.  In this breath.  What makes you feel most like You.  Most true to You.  Go there with everything possible.

Step by step.  Reel by reel.  Do by do.  Be by be.  Truth through love.

May you do something that gives yourself your own love.

You can fill yourself up.  You can fulfill your self; your life's meaning.  You are unique.   

May you let yourself be your unique self.

May you let love.

Try it.  You just may love You.

How beautiful that would be; this is.

May you just be your beautiful self; as much and as often as possible.

Know thy beautiful self.  Oh yeah.
