Tired

With myself feeling sleepy tired and a few others that I know feeling the same, many of us are finding ourselves wanting to take some down time, relax, unwind and, well - sleep. 

I like to think of it as our healthy time; my healthy time.   To sleep when I feel sleepy.   What a gift.  With it being a holiday week, hopefully, you can do this as much as possible if you are one that is sleepy.

If  you are not one that is sleepy - you go - more power to you - and may you use this unsleepy time to respond to what your body and mind are asking of you from the most loving place within yourself.

My mind is tired.   My brain is sleepy.  My body feels kind of strong...  maybe from the Pilates and stretching.   But, I sure want to lay it down and give it quiet time, rest time and sleep time. 

And, today, that is just what I found myself doing a lot of.

It feels a little boring.   It feels a lot of right.

May you give yourself what you hear/feel/know that you are asking for and may you give it to yourself the best way that you know how.  May you 'work' on you with ease.

Merry Christmas

Wishing you a Merry Christmas..   for you and your loved ones.

May you connect to the 'merriment' inside of you and let this be Christmas.

Share your merriment as best you can with yourself and with others.

May you make it as loving as possible and be grateful for the merriment you have known and the merriment you are yet to create.

Merriment on!  The scale of it does not matter.  

May you be your own present and give this present life...

Merry Christmas. ! !

Christmas Eve

I got my gown for my niece's wedding that is just two weeks away! What a special time for my heart and my beautiful niece.  It is going to be sensational, lovely and full of love.

I'm spending the time with my family, watching some Christmas movies, driving to see Christmas lights, having a nice Christmas Eve meal and just laughing and enjoying each other. 

We are having a low key Christmas but our Christmas spirit is high.

I realize that love is what matters most and I am grateful for my family and to share love with them so deeply and speak of and share love and everything that comes up throughout our days as best we can.

I think this is what Jesus wants for us all.   To live our truest of self - the self that He created and to be the best of our self - the self that we can and do connect to through feeling, inner knowing, and experiencing the feeling of fulfillment and success in whatever that means to each of us.

...To share who we are with who others are and connecting from the divine place within each of us.

I wish you a Merry Christmas.  I wish you a joyful heart.  I wish you an honest persona within all of the situations you find yourself in.  Be love. 

May you be open to the best situation possible from the most loving heart that you carry with you.

2 Days Til Christmas

Relax.  May you relax.  

Give yourself a break.   Give yourself a lot of breaks.

You are where you are and you are okay.  Be easy on yourself.  Make your lists.  Cross things off.

This is a good place to decide if you say to yourself  'hurry up and get it done' or 'relax, you'll get it done'.   Each one feels different.  Which one supports you the best...

Christmas to me is to have love in my heart and share it.   To have kindness from my soul and share it.  To have joy in my thoughts and share them.

With how you feel right now in this moment, what does Christmas mean to you...

Is it aligned with what you what Christmas to mean to you...

Merry Christmas time.  

May you let it be the 'time' to be how you want to be...  as best you can.   Baby steps allowed.  No judgment just trying and allowing. 

Breath and kindness towards one's self goes a long way for me.  If you'd like, may you let it go a long way for you.

Breathe and be kind...   to yourself and to others.  

It is who I want to be... 

May you be who you want to be...   The power is within you.   May you give yourself permission to live this day as you would like to see yourself live this day through.   It will never come again.  May you create good and happy memories; as best as you are able.

I wish you YOU. 

4 Days Til Christmas

December 21, 2016.  Winter solstice for us.  Summer solstice for others.  Solstice none-the-less.

2016 - with the numbers added together equals 9.  9 can represent completion.  With this year moving on behind us we can choose to let many other things behind us as well too.  We can see somethings as completed.  We can choose to feel some things as of no longer important.

If it doesn't 'float your boat', then let it go and leave it behind.  Think of it as completed and done.

With 2017 arriving and these numbers equaling the low number of 1 and 1 can be known as beginning and new starts, we can look at things with a new light, a new way, a new start, a new beginning.

Let go of the old.  Move on with the new.   Really.  How exciting and what an opportune time to do just this.

All you have to do is choose.

Today here in the northern hemisphere, we are having the longest night of darkness; the shortest day.  With what is on the opposite side of us, they are knowing the longest daytime of the year, the shortest time of darkness.

Solstice is 2 times a year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the equator.  Synonyms for the word solstice are highness, extent, peak, prominence, tip.  Southernmost point.   Northernmost point.  South is in December.  North point is in June.

It can be a time to reevaluate your life and get closer to what makes you happiest.  It can be a time to go further from what hurts you or is not working well for you.

With 4 more days until Christmas day, you may be finishing up wrapping, purchasing things, baking cookies, finalizing plans.

May you include your truth, your needs, your joy, your hopes and you inner knowing to what brings you closer to the truest part of being, feeling and breathing you.

Only you can create from within out what you wish to participate in and/or create for your Christmas season.

Talk to your loved ones, share you desires, hear other's desires and find a middle ground of celebration and togetherness.

If you are asking yourself why you - why are you the one that has to create peace, do this work, create togetherness or whatever it is you are spending your time on, may I offer that this is what you are focused on, what you need, what you want and what makes you most comfortable.

...To live your best and most joyous self this holiday season.   You are worth it and so are your loved ones.

Know when things can work and know when things cannot.   Know when to give it your all and when to stop 'beating your head against a wall' when no result or compromise is possible.

Staying true to yourself, lovingly, is empowering the situation to change, grow and become.

With four days left, start feeling what direction you are going to allow yourself to 'travel'.

May you be as kind and loving as possible from your heart.  May you be as open and knowledgeable as possible from your mind.  Putting both together is the gift that, perhaps, you can give yourself and others this holiday season.

May you gently hold on to what works for you and gently share what does not.  May you be open to creating harmony because this is what makes you happiest.  We have to take a chance at it.  It is the longest and shortest (ha) means of living the best of ourselves; individually, together.  Our Truth.

5 Days Til Christmas

With Christmas 'sneaking' up on us, it is [maybe] best if we are open to allow what is to be what it is.

Do not be angry that it isn't different than it is.  Do not wish for things we do not have; things we do not know.  Do not think that it is within our power to create change when we know with everything that we are that we cannot.

Do be happy with the things you are enjoying.   Do be grateful for the things you do have; things you do know.  Do think different.  Act and react differently to feel different than you do if you do not want to bask in how you are currently feeling.

It is my understanding that Christmas is baby Jesus' birthday.  He was born in a manger with wise men and frankincense and myrrh.  We celebrate this day by being with family, friends and loved ones.  We give each other presents and open our heart in ways that, perhaps, we aren't usually open to.

I feel a calm, serene and loving stillness in the air.  Is it always here or am I just more open to it...

Perhaps, what we are open to is what comes...

What are you open to this year; today; now; presently...

What do you want to be open to...

May you be open to just this...

Be merry from the inside out.  Create cheer from the inside out.  Be love from the inside out.  Live you from the inside out.   Let love lead from within you to everything that you know, see, do and are. 

May you let the air be filled with whatever means/says 'goodness' to you.

Alleluia.   May it be so...

Help the angels sing by bringing your brightest and lightest self into every situation possible.  What you do and how you are is this powerful. 

Owning

Owning.   It is a peculiar word to me just now.

I want to 'talk' about owning who we are; owning what we are; owning what we do; owning what we say.

Owning what we feel.   Allowing ourselves to feel what comes up for us to feel.

Many of us want to squelch what we feel when we think it is not a good or a fun feeling.  We want to stop any and all pain within ourselves and to our bodies. 

Just what if our feelings were 'just' feelings and if felt, they would lead us down our best path forward. 

Just what if our feelings are here to guide us 'home' to our true selves.

For years, (decades even), I wanted to pretend that I was like everyone else.  That pain wouldn't stop me.  That I can handle pain.  That I can fight pain.  That I can pretend that pain wasn't a part of me or my life.

I am learning that when I do feel pain to feel it and almost embrace it is the best way through it and to the other side of it. 

Fighting it just created more, deeper, and 'louder' pain.  Fighting it made me think of it as a bad thing; as something that didn't belong.

Just what if pain is just a sensation.  Feelings are just sensations.   There is no good or bad.  Just what if. 

Perhaps, we, as humans, decided or learned to label our feelings.

Just what if we didn't label them but felt them, listened to them, processed them and let them go.

I know it isn't always easy; it doesn't always work.

Fighting doesn't always work either.

May you find what works best for you from situation to situation and live just this.

Be true to your feelings.  They are present for a reason.  They do not show up just because.  They show up for real reasons. 

They are a part of us; a part of life.

May you embrace all of you; all of your experiences and live.  Live on.  Live through.  Let love lead you.

It just may be worth a try.  Allow the 'sensations' that come up for you to be yours - own them.  See where they lead you.  Allow self-love, self-care and self-compassion to be present through it all.

This just may be the most productive and enlightened way to live.   Do what works for you.

Baby steps allowed.  Course changes allowed.  Trials and errors allowed. 

Love yourself.  Own yourself.   You are the only person ever that you will spend your entire lifetime with. 

May you be your own best friend. 

My wish for you.

6 Days Til Christmas

We see some thing that reminds us of a special someone.   We buy it.  We purchase it.  We make it.  We offer it.

We see things that make us happy.  Sometimes we buy it; sometimes we do not.

As we gather what feels right to gather and what feels like it is coming from the Christmas Spirit, we feel and share love.  We feel and share light.

If we get bothered or flustered it most likely is not coming from love and joy.  Take a step back.  Regroup. Ask yourself what brings out the joy and the love from within you.  Do this and let the joy and love happen as much as possible.

Freedom to explore, allow, present and know the true Christmas spirit within you is a very cool thing. 

To do things because we tell ourselves we have to sometimes is the answer and sometimes it is not.

Only you know for sure.   May you follow the best answer within you as often as possible.

What joy we get from giving.  What joy we get from receiving.   What peace and joy we get from being true to a situation and offering what we are easily capable of giving.

Christmas is for love.  Christmas is for Jesus' birth celebration.  Christmas is for opening the heart wider.  It is for seeing others through the lens of love.

With six more days to go, I wish you peace, love and joy.   I wish you freedom to allow yourself to open your heart and let it be filled from the inside out with truth, love and inner knowing.

Let your 'Christmas' heart be open. 

Give.   Receive.   Feel.  Flatter.  Create.   Love.   Breathe.

Within the Christmas spirit, let the bells of what you believe in ring.

I wish you ease, allowance, easy giving, openness to receive and gathering of everything that you believe is good, healing, love and joyful.

Love.   Love yourself.   Love one another.     Support.  Support yourself.  Support one another.

Let's start and/or continue on here this Christmas and let it extend out from our heartlight into 2017.

May you be the beauty that you want to experience.

The giving of one's true self and the opening to receive same...

7 Days Til Christmas

With one week until it will be Christmas Day, there may be a whole lot of different emotions, feelings, thoughts and things surrounding us and within us.

We may know peace, organization, joy and excited anticipation.

We may know chaos, uncertainty, rush and stress.

We may know contentment.  We may know emptiness.

We may know all of it, none of it or some of it.

Whatever it is you are feeling, may you know that Christmas Day always comes and goes.

This coming Christmas Day we have never experienced before.  We have never been exactly like we are just now in this moment.  We may have many similarities, but we have no exact situation(s).

We can come from where we are today; how we are today; what we are today; with the people that are in our lives and the situation(s) we have surrounding us presently.  It is okay and, perhaps, even good to be present in your truth; whatever that may be.  

When we bring our pure loving truth into each situation, we are opening up our hearts, spirits, minds and souls.  We are opening up to fulfillment and creating the best possible road for us to travel forward on.  The truest road may not be the easiest.  When we face and live our truth, we create and feel what we are supposed to create and feel.  It is okay.  It is our truth.  It is who and what we are today. 

When we come from our loving truth as much as possible, we enter into our true loving moments as deeply and richly as possible.

May you open yourself up to what you feel; how you feel; what you want to do; what you don't want to do and be true to yourself to empower the true you and empower everyone you touch in this manner.

Christmas can be the same experience.  Christmas can be a whole new experience.  Christmas can be between the two.

May you let Christmas be what it is by the truth of what you feel in your heart, know in your mind and touched by your soul.

It is Merry Christmas time.   May you allow yourself to be true you and, perhaps, this is the best present you can give yourself and others.  May you be present in each moment and think of it as a present to yourself and your loved ones.  Be fulfilled by allowing yourself to feel and share the true you. 

You are beautiful just as you are. 

We can do this at Christmas time. We can do this anytime. 

8 Days Til Christmas

With only eight days until Christmas Day, I see and hear the word 'eight' and I find myself wanting to talk about food and eating.

I have not been perfect at eating what is best for me.  I haven't been horrible.  I could be better.   Currently, I am eating a chocolate covered dry cherry and it is melting in my mouth and the flavors are enjoyable as I chew.  It is like a party in my mouth and I don't feel too guilty eating it.  The reason I do feel some guilt is because it is the first thing I am eating this morning.  I know there are better choices for this time of day.  And, this is why I feel and think and know that I could do better.  For me, saving the chocolate covered dry cherry for afternoon would be less guilt inducing. 

I think being aware of what we eat; tasting what we eat; feeling how we feel while we eat it and then after we eat can be very informative, helpful and lead us into the life of eating that best works for ourselves.

Do I feel guilty... then don't eat it or get rid of the guilt.  The body responds better with digesting when we feel happy and content with what we are eating. 

Enjoy what I eat.  Notice the smell and the appearance.  Taste the flavors, the textures.  Chew it long and be aware that I am chewing it.

Do I feel comfortably full or do I feel stuffed...   What feels better to you...  May you shoot for what brings you the most comfort.

Am I eating a variety of color...  Notice all the colors you can find in your salads, your smoothies (before you mix them) and on your plate.  Let it be as vibrant and colorful as possible.

What do I know about the calories, the ingredients, where it came from, the amounts of protein, fats and carbohydrates...

Are they empty calories or are they nutrient dense...

Read labels.  Ask yourself if you want that in your body that you want to create for yourself.

Will I feel better or worse if I eat this certain thing...  If I feel better, go for it and feel better.  If not, perhaps, this one time, don't eat it.

You are in charge of what you put in your mouth, intestines and belly.  Be your own best friend and start by being aware of what you put in your mouth.

Often, the holidays and celebrations give us permission to splurge and/or overeat and even drink more.   There are calories in libations.  Often empty calories with no nutrients.  'They' are correct when 'they' say 'everything in moderation'. 

Again, will I drink because I enjoy it or will I drink to get drunk...  Our choice.

Awareness.  Awareness.  Awareness.

Like location is what it is all about with real estate -  Awareness is what it is all about with good health.

May you let yourself be aware. Turn your aware button on.  Learn what you do not know.  Question how you feel and watch how you think.

Be gentle with yourself.  Gentle strength feels kindest to me.  Use the route that feels kindest to you.

Beating yourself up is not the answer even if it works.  I say this because I don't think beating ourselves up for the rest of our lives is really something any of us want to do.

If you do it, Stop.   Love yourself to the best answers for you.

We all fail or don't always do what is best.  It is called being human.  But, if we fail less and less and win more and more, Yay!

May you live in the Yay of your life as often as possible...

                                                         Unknown

Happy

It doesn't have to be a happy day to have happy in it.  Moments of happiness are fun and enjoyable.  There are always chances, people, situations and feelings that we can find happiness in.

Happiness is a choice.   We choose it.   We feel it.  We let it in.

May you let happiness be your choice as often as possible.   May you let it in.  May you be it.

Wishing you happy moments; today and all days.

May you get your happy on...

So This Is Christmas

The season for Christmas seems to expand further out each year.   The ads, the decorations, the music are seen and heard before Thanksgiving often.

The gift giving for me has changed.  I give less out of obligation.  I have, for the first time, a less excited feeling about the whole social idea of Christmas.

The haves, have tos, shoulds, don'ts and dos...

They are not in me.   The 'do what feels right and best for the family' is what is in me.  Love through.  Share love.  Be open to allowing each and every one to do Christmas the way that they currently know how and (think) the way that they want to. 

Cheers for those that are happy, merry and bright.  May you shine that beautiful light from a place of openness and love.

It's okay if you are in the middle and know Christmas cheer and am open to meeting Christmas where you are at.

It's honorable if you do Christmas from the truth that is inside of you and from the feels that you are feeling.   May you feel it all through love; openly and honestly; as best as possible.

Christmas is love.  May you love from your own heart into your own heart and love out from the truth of where you find yourself into the truth of one another.

Christmas is what I make it.   Christmas is what you make it.  Christmas is what we make it.

May you make it a perfect Christmas from where you are; what you feel; what you know; what you are experiencing and the grandest thing of all - your own love.

My current bah humbug comes from a lot of struggles over these past two or three years.  The changing of homes, doctors, people I love's health and just not sitting pretty (thriving) in my own being.  I know there is more inside of of me that is ready to be lived and shared. I find myself growing restless. 

My being is present and full.  My being wants fun and to thrive.

May you know your being.  May you give your being what it wants and needs the most.

Be in the silence of the night and hear your soul talk to you.  Listen.  Respond favorably and cheer your own self on.  This, perhaps, is fulfillment.

Cheer another on who needs it and/or who is asking for help.

Let the Christmas spirit in; whatever that looks and feels like to you this year.  

I love my loved ones.  I am grateful for all I have; for all I experience.  I'm grateful to be settling in to a new way of life and living.  I am grateful for the need to be true and stand in this truth.  

I am grateful for all those I have touched and for all those who have touched me. 

I may be in humbugville where parties and presents and decorations are concerned.   I am in awesomeville where love and sharing and being and living from the truth; my truth, as I know it.  

This is the greatest gift, perhaps, that we can give ourself and our loved ones.  Present your truth as you know it; through love. 

Celebrate from the truth, the ability and the passion of the loving spirit that is you.

May you know what you are feeling and honor it.   May you allow, accept, acknowledge and embrace everything that is you.  May you let it carry you forward into all that you are and all that you want to be.

Wherever you are - as long as you are in your heart and soul, along with your mind - let all this carry you home into yourself for Christmas.  May this create your best and most fulfilling Christmas for you.  Celebrate all you've been through, all you've known, all you've had in the presence of your loving truth with an open heart and mind...

If you are celebrating through a loss, it is okay to feel exactly how you are feeling.  May you also acknowledge the bond to this loss that has you feeling so sad.  The sadness is from the greatness that you were blessed with at one time.  Perhaps, there is gratitude for same that you can choose to connect to as well.   Feel it all.  Take the time.  Take your time. 

You are honor(ed).  You are love(d).  You matter. 

This is all we may need do. 

Honor thyself in all its humanness.  Honor others in all their own humanness.  Honor the path - past, present and forward. 

There is good and not so good in everyone of our paths [of living; of life].

Tis the Season

It is the Christmas season as the month of December moves onward towards the end of the year.

Christians celebrate Christmas and the birth of Jesus.  Many get caught up in the gifts; shopping, wrapping, socializing, festivities and togetherness.

It can feel like a special time of year.  A time of goodwill and cheer; kindness and giving and receiving.  It can feel and be magical and fill our souls. 

It can also bring up old and dormant issues and the 'shoulds' and 'supposed tos' with expectations and anticipation.

I'd like to offer for you, if you celebrate, to celebrate from where you are.  Celebrate through who you are and what you are experiencing and let pretense be gone and truth take over.

Give what and if it is in your heart and ability to give.  Give gifts.  Give of yourself.  Give of your service.  Give the loving truth of you.

Be true to where you are and be true to how you feel.  Be true to what you know.  Be true to what is showing up inside of you.

As we celebrate Christmas from the truth of our self, we empower the celebration, the connection, the togetherness and one another.

Speak up with how you'd like to celebrate.   Speak up with calmness and love.   Speak up with the truth of yourself.

Sharing love, self and inner joy is what Christmas spirit is to me.  Each year is different.   If being traditional is what works for you from the truth of yourself, then be traditional.  If creating new paths to celebration because you are in a new space, place and/or truth, then create these. 

As you are, so is Christmas.

This is the joy of Christmas to me.  This is the fulfillment of giving to me.  This is the empowering of one another to me.

Do not expect, be open to acceptance.  Accept yourself.  Accept others.

In our ability of honesty, we know calm, peace, joy and ease.

May you know calm, peace, joy and ease.

May you be open to your own kindness, light, ability, inabilities and the truth of self.

Merry Christmas time.  Let it be a time brought forth from where you are today.  Let love lead you.  Let truth carry you.  Let Christmas be Christmas as it fulfills your senses that are open to be fulfilled.  Let it not lead you away from yourself but towards yourself.

As you are more home within yourself, the 'home' that is you is a most welcoming thing.  Be welcoming... to the best of your ability.  Opening your heart is the best gift you have; just maybe...

Tapestry

I'm 'stealing' this from a woman who was Head of Volunteers for a Hospice Company in my community.  She has the biggest heart, most kind soul and gives of herself like I have seen no other give.  She is a special friend and lady.  I am blessed to know her.

She writes:  "A story that makes sense to me is that our life is a tapestry.  On this side we see the knots and tangled threads, sometimes making it hard to understand what it all means.  On the other side, God sees the beautiful finished picture.  Dear one, my picture would not be complete without you woven into it."

Nothing more needs to be said.  Beauty emanates from this for me.

May you believe that the 'knots and tangled threads' in your life are making a beautiful picture that will one day be complete. 

Whole Lotta Lotta

There is a whole lotta, lotta going on...

Many are sick.   Some are in huge change in their lives whether it be on the job front, the home front and/or relationship front.

Change - huge - lotta, lotta change is in the air.

Much of it is not easy to understand.   It doesn't feel easy to live through some of the things that we are being asked to live through. 

And, yet, each one of us, with everything that we have lived, known and experienced, we get through.   We get by.   We survive.   Our survival rate in this lifetime is 100% thus far and this is very good odds to continue on with.  !

May you believe in your life, your self, your process and even your struggles.   May you trust the way you feel and know the way that things are; that everything is leading you into a better, more evolved you.  A more fulfilling and real - from the inside out - you. 

What is happening in your life, no matter how difficult, is happening for your overall evolution and transformation.

What you are feeling in this moment; is leading you into a different place than you once were; that you know; that you've maybe even ever experienced before.

May you believe that good is happening even when it doesn't feel so.  Maybe, especially, when it doesn't feel so. 

Change is happening.  Huge change.  Little change.  lotta, lotta change.

May you trust that process of everything that you are experiencing, bring your truest self and feelings into it and be open to create from this sacred and divine place within you, your most sacred and divine life.

May you grow into everything that you are and allow yourself to feel what you feel and not want it to be different from the most trusting and open place within yourself.

This is huge and your life and innate being are 'huger' and this is right where you belong to share, live, play out and be all that you were born and are here on this planet earth to be.

You and your life matters just as it is and you are perfectly imperfect going forward and becoming and reaching towards the home of yourself that is you.

Yay you.   You are doing good.   Believe in yourself.  I surely do.

Sleepy

I feel like one of the seven dwarves, "Sleepy".   I sit on the couch, I fall asleep.  I don't even know it is coming.  I take a beautiful nap and I feel calm and decent; healthier and more content.

Part of me wants to tell myself it is wrong to sleep during the day.  Yet, the true and real part of me knows that to sleep when one is tired is the best gift one could give themselves.

So, I say - Gift on...  with a tiny bit of hesitation yet.   I really want to let go of that hesitation part of me that is not for my own good.   They are words of the past; beliefs of others and ones that I 'bought' into.

I know I feel better when I sleep when I am sleepy  - don't eat, don't drink, don't jump up and down, but sleep.  I know it is not always possible.  But, when it is, may you do what YOU want/need to do whenever you can. 

Just what if we all listened to our bodies as best we can and support each other in doing the same.

We just may all be content.  Wouldn't that be something....  !

May you listen to your body as much and as often as possible.  May you respond favorably in the now.  May you (just maybe) find contentment.

Today

As I start my day, I realize that the worst thing so far for me today is that they are cutting the grass so that I cannot bring my dogs outback to do their morning thing...   How awesome is this!  Grateful.  If this is the worst thing that is in my life currently, oh la la!

Yes, I feel the scleroderma.   An achiness covering my whole body.  I go back to Pilates today.   I believe this I will enjoy!

I went from being with people (and lots of them) to being alone (with just my dogs and I).  It is an interesting feeling of peace and non-peace.

It is nice having people support and care about you.   It is nice to spend some time alone.

My husband and daughter are away at the annual meeting for my husband's company.  Jess has been working there on and off, throughout college, to see if it is a good fit.  They are in beautiful Key Biscayne.  They will be gone the whole week.

So to go from going, going, going to kind of/sort of a recluse, it is on both ends of the scale.  I am sitting with it, experiencing it.  

Life gives us many things to experience.   Can pain be a sensation...  Can joy be a let down...

It is our mind that decides this for us.   It is our minds that we can train to think better and experience better.

If your mind is thinking a thought and it doesn't feel good on you, perhaps, change it up.  Change it up to acceptance and love.  Change it up to inner knowing and moving through.  Change it up to what thought does empower you.

May you think thoughts that empower you and bring you joy; as often as possible.  Xnay out the thoughts that bring you down and dis-empower you.

I'm Back

I'm back from my wonderful trip to see and be with my sister and her family.  It was an extra bonus to see my sister-in-law and my niece and my dear friend and her family.   I fit a lot in for a short week.!  If I don't mind me saying so, it was a great week and I did good!  It brought me great joy to hug and spend time with every person I was blessed to encounter. 

I did not have blue hands or fingers!  This is huge.  It was cold and I felt the cold but it didn't seem to hurt me like it has for so long.!   It must be the prolactin that is being made through the respirodol drug.  I experienced strange and scattered, but very welcomed feelings. 

THIS IS HUGE for me.

Forty years this coming year (2017) and for the first time (other than being pregnant) I did not experience painful, hurtful, and blue hands in the cold. 

... ... ...

I sit with this truth for a moment.  What awesome truth!  My mind is still not letting me believe it completely and yet I've seen it with my own eyes and experienced it with my own being.

How interesting the mind can be separate from our own reality...  ...

May you let your mind be within and about your truth and let this truth carry you 'home' into your greatest life; here on earth.

It is my wish and hope that you are finding your way through love, truth and sharing all of you in each situation; as much as possible. 

Honor thyself.  Do not ignore thyself.  Thyself is a blessing.  Thyself is the only person you live your whole life with.  Be kind to thyself.  Thyself is YOU.  Thyself knows everything that is necessary to know in the exact moment(s) that is most helpful to you and your life.
