Like There’s No Tommorrow

Like there’s no tomorrow...

I heard myself saying that I am aching like there is no tomorrow.  For some reason those words were loud and I immediate thought what does that even mean.

I googled it.  In the Cambridge Dictionary it reads “informal.  If someone does something like there is/was no tomorrow, they do it very fast, in large amounts and without thinking carefully:”.   

So I carefully (ha) thought about it and said I think I want to live more often like there is no tomorrow.  

I want to do what is in my heart to do and not take the time to talk myself out of it.  I want to say what feels right for me to say without stopping myself because I may be challenged or looked at like I said something to another human that does not think like me.  I pretty much have this freedom of saying/typing things down here on my blog.  I just go with what comes up ‘like there’s no tomorrow'.   It is in person that is more difficult for me because I can see and feel reactions.  

Here I put out what is inside of me in hope of supporting/empowering you to do the same.  It also, often, amazes me to read what I do, say, think and feel.   

In the physical world I more often than not stop myself doing things I want to do because I'm realizing I trust myself less now than ever before.  Partially because I am not capable of doing some 'very easy' everyday things I used to be able to do because of scleroderma and partially because I have let myself feel hurt by certain things and situations in the many years I have lived and fear shows up to 'protect' me from feeling any more hurt.   

Why is it that I am choosing to build up the hurt and lack instead of building up the feeling of being uplifted which I have experienced and pleasantly opened myself to and the amazing ways I have worked around this dis-ease.   

I want to do me; live free; be love and let my light aflame like there is no tomorrow.  

Good news is that I'm the one that is stopping myself.  And the bad news is that I'm the one that is stopping myself.  

I don't want to stop the me I am and that I want to be anymore; ever again.  Perhaps if I shoot for 'ever again', I have the best chance of starting off doing it some of the time.   

I want to live from the truth of me and let this be joy because it is.  I have done this and it brings me the deepest, loudest, most joyful joy I have ever known.  

To just be who we are and want to be and to live fully in this is joy.  

Oh.  May you live in joy.  Your kind of joy.  

Frigid

Well, the weather here in S. Florida has changed and our winter is in the air.  It is nothing like the winters I grew up in in Pennsylvania, USA.  And, the air still feels different and cold.  I love putting on the sweats.  I don't love feeling the cold from the inside out.

With Raynauds and Scleroderma, for me, the cold is hurtful and I find myself aching and a wee bit cranky.

I find myself amazed at how much the cold does affect me.  It is interesting how I still find myself amazed by this after more than 40 years of it.  Wow.  My human brain can forget, ignore, relearn and react in ways, that if I don't do my best to take control of, it surely will be taking control of me.

Good news is I can teach myself to react differently.  Bad news is that I am the only one that can do it.  No one can do it for me.

In truth, I probably wouldn't want anyone too.  I think that I would like it to be easier, at times, than it is, however.

So, while I love breathing in the fresh cool air and wearing my sweats, [I have a sweatshirt on today that reads 'Just Breathe'] the cold hurts me and I feel myself contracting with it, feeling the urge to hibernate and not only cranky, but a bit miserable too.

I am open to accepting this as my truth.  It seems to be a process that I process multiple times.  The good news is that I do eventually process it.  The bad news is that I forget that I process it and seem to have to do it every winter.

I am grateful that the winter is so mild here.  I don't think of winter as closing my backyard like I did up north.  I think of winter as a few days I get to wear my UGGs.  Yes, I still wear them and find them extremely comfortable.  Sexy, no.  Comfortable, yes.

And, in our comfort, aren't we all just maybe a little sexy.   Ha.

May you meet yourself and your life where it is at.  It is okay to feel exactly how you are feeling.  May you also know gratitude for the things in your life that you do enjoy, appreciate and work for You.

However you need to do you - forgive yourself; love yourself; be there for yourself and let yourself grow into every situation that shows up - your truth, your trust and your empowerment in accepting what is.

This is how human nature works best, perhaps.  I wish you the best humanness you have to live in today and every day.

Cheers.  If you are human and you are still carrying onward, then you have graduated into the status of living through the human spirit.  May you let your soul and your spirit fill your life up and share the awesome that is you out...  

 

But, I've Always Done it This Way

Oh my my…  If this isn't something that is said often and thought often.  And, when it is said and 'thunked', it is certainly believed.

And, I'd like to offer 'but, is it really true' with who you are now, where you are now and what you need/want now...

I am thinking that just because something has always worked for me in the past and helped me with transitions, situations and positivity that does not mean that it will work for me now in this new, different and evolved world most of us are experiencing and living in.

I am different.  Everyday there is something different to learn or a new option to doing things.  Our world is different.  What happens over on that side of the world, we feel and know about it on this side of the world.  What happens here is known about and felt over there.

I'm thinking it may not be a bad idea, the next time you hear yourself say or think 'but, I've always done it this way', to stop and check in with yourself, your life, your feelings, your goals, your dreams and how is what you are doing and thinking working for you.

Just maybe it can be beneficial to create a new way; open to a new path; think a new thought; do it differently.

I have more tools now and you may too.  I see things and know things that I never have before.  I want to experience life as happily as possible through these new tools, who I am now, how I feel now and what I know now.

May you use the tools that you have now and experience life through who you are now, with what you know and feel now and through the best experience and option that you can come up with, create and allow.

May you meet your life where it is at now and start anew if this is what is going to open you up to the life you wish to experience and live.  It is okay to take a turn.  Whether it be a tad different or a complete U-turn, may you follow it home to You.  You 'turning' may just be where it's at...

I wish you You; lovingly, openly, brilliantly, trustingly and truthfully as possible.

I wish to welcome you home to the You that you are.  With everything showing up and bouncing around you, you can still find yourself home within yourself.

And, You are beautiful being You.

Yin Yang

Yin Yang comes from Chinese Taoism.   It seems to and relates to opposites but it is also life lessons that complement each other and teach/show us the infinite possibilities of all that is.

When we experience something, there is always a possibility to experience it in more than one way.

Shade with light.  Up with down.  In with out.  Over with under.  Male with Female.

Our chi; our energy; our life force; our prana; God.  Whatever you want to call this power inside of you that is 'life' is empowered and streamed through our own thoughts, actions, feelings and breath.

May you look at and see things (life) from and through the best place inside of you.

As you are seeing things and taking a 'looksee' at life within and outside of yourself, if it doesn't lift you up, empower you or enhance the best way you can feel in the moment, perhaps, take another look.  See things (life) [the current situation] differently.  There is always more than one way to process everything that one needs to process.  There is Yin and there is Yang and there are possibilities that connect the energy that is within us to our hearts, minds and souls.  

May you choose the best way for you in each breath; as often and as much as possible.

It is our thoughts, our actions and our stories we tell ourselves that create our reaction, response and the way we process through; the way we feel and move forward.

It is my hope that you choose You - in your best light; as often and as much as possible.  Choose what feels best on and within you.

When we choose our best, it is what we have to share.  I invite you to choose to feel your best.  Allow it.  Live it.  Choose it.  Be it.  Share it.

Our world is changing and so are we.  Let us change and transform into the best that we can live as today with the tools, knowledge and love that we carry with us.

Be the light that you want to be and are.  Be the light that is available to you and for you.  Lighten up and live free to live through what makes your soul shine.

May these words turn into actions for every one and any one that wishes it to be true.  Because if you choose and believe it, it is true for You.   You are this able.  You were born with this ability.  You have the light inside of you that you wish to be and participate in.  Hold on to it.  Own it.  Let it grow and build.  Let it become a part of everything that you are and do.

May you live [in] the 'lightness' of You.

Rainy

It feels like we are being asked by a force, greater than all of us, to find our truth and live through it.  Be our love and entertain it.  Know ourselves and be what we know.

There is a storm 'abrewing'.  A beautiful storm.  Yet, a storm of unease; unknown and new light.

May you be brave enough and loving enough to be gently transparent in who you are, what you know and what makes you happy.  

In this, we empower not only our own lives but others'.  We honor our Creator by being who and what we were/are created to be.  

We are being asked, or is it forced, to open up and say what we feel.  As I choose to do this at the time of realizing my feelings, from a place of love - it is the most impactful way to go.  If I stew or come from anger and release my feelings -- oh, it can invite in exactly what I don't want to live as, through and in.

May you choose to, as lovingly as possible, share what you are feeling from the inner wisdom of your spirit.

We can get sopping wet and not enjoy it or we can dance in the rain and have a blast.  And, of course, there are so many options in between these two extremes.

May you know what works and feels best on and in You.

May your 'storm' turn into the beauty that you wish to share with the world...   You.

De Light Full

Another full moon is up in the sky high above us all.  Everyone of us has the same moonlight shining down on us.

May you capture the light and let it connect you to de light fully You.

If something doesn't delight you; just for now, let it go.  Just for these few moments, any thought that does not lift you up or allow your happiness to flow, let it/them go.  

Feel what it feels like to not have a thought inside your head and being that brings you down; that is heavy; that feels yucky.  

Feel the feeling of presence and peace.  Feel the feeling of delight.

Perhaps, this is what this full moon is 'supporting' us to do.  Shine the light on what we want and are and shine the light on what we do not want and are not.

Imagine your body; your cells, are filled with your most favorite color.  Imagine that your body; your cells are vibrating happily, joyfully and in sync.

There is a flow that is flowing that is producing and creating a You that you now want to live as, support and be.

Even if it is only for this moment.

What would it feel like...  What would you be doing...  What would you be concentrating on...  What would make you look and feel aglow...

Be this.  Allow this.  Create this.  Open to this...  if only for this moment and, just maybe beyond it.

Everything you are able to wish for, there are parts of it growing inside of you already.  Water them with love.  Cherish them with kindness.  Feed them with respect.  Know them with everything that you are.  Grow them through faith of it happening; you becoming.

I wish you delight.  I wish you da light.  I wish you light and lightness going forward from this breath on.

Shine on warriors of awesome.  Shine on dudes and dudettes.  Shine on brothers and sisters.  Shine on fellow humans.  Shine on, up, out, through and into everything that you experience.

Shine on.

11/11

Wishing you Beautiful You filled with fulfillment, freedom, ease, love, truth, trust and fun.

This is the me that I want to know, be, live as and share.

I do not want to be afraid to be all that I am with anything that I perceive as a flaw to be seen as uniqueness, empowerment, a gift.  I choose love through everything as much and as often as I can.

May you choose love through everything; as much as and as often as you can.

The sky was beautiful last night.  The breeze was a wee bit cooler.  There were clouds and there was a full moon; or what looked to be a full moon.  It went from between the clouds, under the clouds, dressed by clouds, surrounded by clouds and in front of the clouds.  

There were dark blues, light blues splattered all around me.  I took a picture and it excited me and felt like a gift.  This is the picture you will find below.

I'd like to think of it as an angel; a sign; a portal.  A reminder to put myself into the light and walk into and with myself with freedom, ease and allowance of who I am and what I feel.  

May you walk into the depth of yourself with freedom, ease and allowance of everything you feel.  Let your breath breathe.  Let your feelings process.  Let your thoughts feel kind.  Let your being be free and playful.  Let your own love into every cell and out into everything you do.

I need to believe we, as a whole, are going in the right direction figuring new and better ways to live this thing called life.  We are seeing, feeling and aware in ways that we have never experienced before.  May we let love be part of every experience and open the door(s) to the person we are best to live through and on.

I truly and sincerely wish you the best of you.  Share your truth.  Allow what is.  Allow your feels.  Let love lead you, carry you and be you.

In this, the greatest miracle will happen.  The miracle of you being authentically and lovingly You.

Amen.

Thank you for doing your best to support the best life possible in yourself, others and the whole of our world.  Be the awesome you wish to experience in the world...  Open heart.  Open mind.  Joyful fun.

Birthday

Today is my awesome daughter's 25th birthday!  Whoop, Yes it is!

I find it amazing that I always dreamed of marrying and having children, of raising children.  I never, for whatever reason, found myself dreaming about what life would be like after my child is grown.  I never thought about my interests, plans of what life would be like after my time of being blessed with being needed and being involved in my daughter's growth and her own 'becoming'; about my life after being a mom of young children.

And now here I am.

I always tell her ‘thanks for being my daughter’.   I always say ‘our kids are our best teachers’.   One of my favorite songs for her is ‘I Hope You Dance’ by Lee Ann Womack and Sons of the Desert.   While she was growing up, I know she remembers me singing ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ to her by the Rolling Stones (great lyrics and music).

Our relationship is different now.  It now consists of her 'adulting'.  I am so proud of the young woman she is and the fabulous and brilliant life she is creating, building and so mindful of.

Her favorite color is pink.  Her favorite animal is an elephant.

She was born 9:19 am on Tuesday, November 8, 1994.   She has been and is one of my greatest accomplishments and one of my greatest challenges.  I am so very honored to call her daughter.  I admire her and stand in awe of her.  I sometimes find myself flabbergasted by what she does next.   She is one of my greatest life lessons.  She is one of my greatest joys.

She is way up there on my 'of extreme importance' priority list.

I remember leaving for the hospital close to 5 am.   I had a natural childbirth which consisted of me mostly screaming.  Through her birth, beginning with singing and talking to her in my belly to singing and talking to her as an adult is one of my greatest constant heartfelt connections I have ever known and will ever know. #grateful

May you stop from time to time and relive in your mind and remember in your heart your greatest accomplishments, loves and successes.  May you feel your deep gratitude for these things.  

I am reminded who I was every step of the way.  I was far from perfect and my love for her was always within me circulating its presence.

I know life coaching is my next me; my new agenda; my life as I am now.

May you know in what direction you wish to go and claim it.

Thank you my beautiful daughter for choosing me as your mom and for being you; helping me to create me and affording me one of my greatest privileges which is being your mom.

I believe in you.  Im in awe of you.  I love you.

Always and forever.

Happy Birthday brilliant and beautiful daughter.   May you dance in and through the truth of You.

May you, my gift also; my reader, live innately in and through the truth of You.  Thank You.

You

I have been feeling vulnerable with and through my own feelings, situations and experiences that are opening up and showing themselves to me.  I have talked to others who are g(r)o)wing) through their own deeply seeded emotions and challenges.  I feel like what is dark inside of us is coming to light.  I believe many of us have the tools and ability moreso now than ever before and this is why what is happening now in our lives is happening.

In the dark there is light that may shine its brightest.  

We all know dark. We all know light.

May you be aware of what you are focusing on.

May you always let the love that is you(rs) be in each breath; as much and as often as possible.

Think, breathe, allow, feel, live as bright a light possible in the things that make it so for you.

Allow you to be You.

May you expand [the light of and] into what makes you You.    

This life we are living is [largely] about our humanness...

May you live it through the most loving truth of You.   You are remarkable.

I believe that you deserve the light of a full moon, the warmth of the sun on your face, your heart expanding in love for yourself and everything you can feel to dream to become a reality.

Sit in.  Walk on.  Breathe out.  May you let your own loving light fill you up.

Thank You

I want to thank the people from the following countries for dropping in.

I am honored to have you 'visit'.  

I am grateful for You.   I am hopeful for our world.  

As we all become and live from the best of ourselves,

 may we create the best for our world, together, and share life through love.

A Goal and an Outcome

I started blogging back in 2010.  I didn't know what a blog was.  I had no idea how to create one.  Something within me told me to blog and here I am 9 years later.

My goal was to share my true self in hope to help as many people as I am supposed to.   I realized almost immediately that the outcome was a invaluable way to learn about myself.  Often, I didn't know or realize what I was thinking or feeling until I read my own blog and it has taught and helped me tremendously.

I write with the intent to let the words flow into my being and out through my fingertips.  Whatever comes up, I go with it and, sometimes, I surprise myself the direction a post will take.

My goal is not to tell or script what You 'should' do or be.  My goal is for a person reading my blogposts to feel what happens within themselves as they read on and open to the experiences/feelings/thoughts within yourself.  My goal is for you, the reader, to learn about how you 'attack' life; how you respond; how you experience the picture that is created within your own being as you read and process whatever comes up for you as only you can.

Do you like the way you respond...  Are you being kind to yourself...  Are you feeling something that, maybe, you want to explore further...  Are you learning something that excites you...  Are you reading something that makes you irritable...

My goal is for you to know YOU and support YOU in creating and living the You that you want to be and experience.

May you know your own goals and outcome of your own reactions/thoughts/ideas/words/actions.  May you open up to the awesome that you are; the innate being that you were born to be.

May you learn about and know thyself. 

A Halloween Sky...

                                   

Go. Be. U.

Today felt like an exciting day.  I am not really sure why.  I woke up to drilling above me that sounded like it was in my condo.  It pretty much 'vibrated' on most of the day.

I told myself it was shaking my cells in a loving way.  I told myself it wasn't too loud.  I told myself I could ignore it.  I told myself work has to be done.  I told myself to leave for a while...  Ha.

I allowed the 'vibration' of the day to lead me, along with the truth of myself, forward to what felt best from combining what was going on and how I was feeling about it.

I'm proud of myself for da flow that I allowed to happen.

May you be proud of yourself for da flow that you allow to happen.

Meet.  Greet.   Be..   True to yourself in each situation you encounter.  In this, the flow, the life, the miracles and the challenges touch you in ways that you encourage peace within through anything and everything.

May you encourage peace within through anything, everything and as much as you possibly can.

I am reminded of a woman telling me her husband thought that peace was overrated.  He is certainly allowed to think this.  And, now, at times, when I 'talk' about peace I think that peace can happen through high levels of excitement, joy and adventure...

Whatever kind of peace blesses you, may you let it be so.  In peace, I believe, we grow, become, glow, evolve and transform the most magical, open, prompt and inviting way possible.

Just sayin.

I wish you your kind of peace.

Be truly true about you to yourself and others and watch, feel, live and experience the magic and empowerment of doing so.

A Place. A Moment. A Breath.

May you have a place within you [always] that feels safe, love and connects you to what makes you You.

May you breathe and know that you are doing so.

Many of us are just getting by with the vastly new and fast changing world; through what can feel like lessons and small (and sometimes big) challenges that show up.

It is a dense time with such universal connection to know and witness so much more in one moment than ever before.

I seem to be wandering through/standing in it through my breath and all of my senses and emotions. There is much within me I have never experienced or seen before.  There is a comfortable excitement that rises up from within as well.

There is unknowing all around my human experiences.  There is a knowing that gets louder and I feel myself welcoming it.

Do I dare call it a healing...  I think that I do.  A shift.  A breath.  Long moments that wishes to settle inside of me to enable all of me to live out loud, free and true in everything I do and am.

I want to support you in the same kind of still excitement that presents and allows you to live out loud, free and true in everything you do.

May we let this time be the greatest love affair of all time. To love one’s self and support each other in learning, being and living in this way first and foremost.

Perhaps, as we fall in love with ourselves, we fall in love with our life that opens up happiness which opens up universal strength, unity, ‘enoughness’ for all and a oneness to treat each other in and through beloved manners of respect, uplifting, supportive, kind and honorable ways.

I so want to create and live in this world now.

In this place; this moment and this breath.  Now.

I wish to see comfortable, open hearts everywhere.

Help

How nice it is to connect to someone who can understand (and even those willing to try to understand) what it is I'm putting out there.

Connection is healing.  Connection is joy.  Connection is a human necessity.  The type of connection I have to myself makes me who I am and tells me to feel what I feel (in many instances).  

Connection through acceptance and allowance totally rocks and is a beautiful foundation to experience life from/through. 

When I feel connected in a loving, joyful, helpful, uplifting way, I feel my most complete.  It is best when I feel love, joy, help and uplifting within my own thoughts and being.

In this, it is easier to share same out.

When I am cranky and miserable, I can find myself not being as open and acceptable of life around me.  It is okay to be cranky and miserable.  I think we are all at times, yet, if we can try to put a time limit on it, we can invite in cheer and pleasantness.

I connected to a woman this morning who understood and shared with me subjects of interest and challenge.  It piqued my interest and brought some peace to our challenges.

This is what a Life Coach does.  I open myself up to understanding your thoughts, feelings, interests and challenges.  I see and feel them as if they were my own; to the best of my ability.  I offer possibilities and actions to transform what you are not enjoying into looking at 'things' in a way that offer you more pleasantness and cheer.

May you be open to transform your cranky and miserable to cheerful and pleasantness.

Help is being heard.  Help is caring.  Help is wanting to understand your viewpoint.  Help is offering other viewpoints that click and connect you deeper into the You that You want to be.

May you connect to yourself, to others in the most pleasant way of being and living You.

May you be rock solid in trusting yourself through all that life connects you to and shares with you.

"U"

As we open up to who we are and accept, allow and maybe even start to admire who we are and the uniqueness of ourselves, we, perhaps, open up our greatest gift in our lifetime - ourselves.

Through authenticity and a mask-less me, I am vulnerable and I am also empowered and the most powerful I can be.

Trusting myself to stay present in my truth and bring it from deep within myself out is so totally rad.

May you be so totally rad.  

My 'gifts' are what make me happy, what I am, who I am and what I know and do.

Your gifts are what make you happy, what you are, who you are and what you know and do.

As we live, as lovingly as possible, the truth within out, we create the most spiritual lit human possible.   I certainly want to be 'spiritually lit'.  It is what I am here learning to do.   It is what I am here with a need to support others.  It is what I love to be, to do and to feel.

What comes to me to say is

Watch out, if you are open to it, you are becoming spiritually lit just because you are still here.  I honor your desire to be, become and light the authentic, fun, excited and awesome you up.

Amen.  And so it is.   Did you know that Amen means And so it is...

May you gather yourself up and live in your truth from the most loving and willing (to share) place inside of You.

I want to be known as the spiritual healer who really cares so I will reach for this inside and outside of myself.

May you reach for what you wish to do/be and know that whatever came up for you just now - if it is meant to be, nothing will stop it.  Booyah.

Let's get You onward, upward and lit up!

Filler Up

Sometimes I fill myself up too much.

With too much food, too many thoughts, too many situations, too many concerns.  I get stuck in an uncomfortable fullness.

I am learning when I do this, to stop, step outside of myself and watch my breath.  Watch what I am doing and maybe even know the why.

I am also experiencing that as open, flowing, accepting and allowing that I become, this 'fullness' becomes more pronounced; louder.

Is it the yin and the yang...  Is it the awareness with the evolving and transforming...  Is it the opposition to oppose new growth...

Yet, I tell myself that the universe is on my side.  Is this awareness and feeling on my side...

Perhaps, I have to experience this fullness; these opposites, in order to pick, choose and become.

I don't really know.  I do know that it certainly is, or at least feels, like my total and deep truth.

May you sit in your total and deep truth.  May you love yourself through.  Accept where you are to get to where you are going...

Aloha and hang loose.

Saluti and cheers.

Bow and embrace.

You are happening right now with everything you are and feel.

May you let you happen.

The only way to You is through You.  !!

Perch

Sometimes I feel like I am on a perch, of sorts, not knowing how to step forward; feeling stuck; feeling alone and feeling like there is more - so much more that waits me or is available to me... And, yet, I perch.

I have not been feeling wonderful and trying new things and not getting the result of/in the amount of energy I seek.  I know that I'm not stagnant, yet it can feel so.  I know there are options and, sometimes, it feels as if there are none.  In these moments, I breathe, feel and knowing that I am not what or who I was and I am not what or who I will become and, yet, I know that I Am.

I can dive down deep to find new resources that I have not yet found.  I can look up and/or 'fly' to a new place/area/situation/thought/idea.  I can let life show up for me and respond to what shows up.  I can search anew and connect to others.

May you breathe, feel and know who and what you are and believe that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

As you bring your true You into exactly where you are, you create the best option/path to move forward in.

You become.   You are.

Again and again and again.

Love yourself when you are perched and watch and participate in the miracle of your life evolving and transforming.  Because it and you will.

I believe in You.   You matter.

May you bring the true You with you wherever you are in whatever you are doing.  May you always love yourself through to the best of your ability.  May the love for yourself grow.  May you let it.  

Thank You.

Success

Success.

To be successful may mean something different for each of us.  From day to day, the feeling of success can change.

Our goals, our desires, our dreams, our accomplishments, our challenges...  Mostly everything can be within, around and without what is our level of success.

Just what if success - underneath/above it all - is participating fully in each situation.

What if success is being in love with ourselves in every breath we live in....

What if success is enjoying something wholly that is enjoyable to us...

What if success is surviving through something that challenges and shows us a lot of unknown...

Whatever success means to you, I wish it for You.

Today, success means to share my truth and being okay living in my truth.  Letting myself be empowered when I don't feel empowered.

It means to comfort myself in my uncomfortableness.  It means to be open to ease, joy, laughter and love.

Sometimes it means paying the bills.  Sometimes it means being kind throughout my feelings.  Being kind to myself and kind to others.

I am successful when I live my true self through self-love and contentment of each moment; as much and as often as possible;  free to just be me.  

To know that everything is unfolding as it is supposed to be unfolding and the awesome in my life, just like the challenges, are here for me to participate in as true to myself and others [in a loving manner] as possible.

May you live your true self through self-love and in contentment of each moment; as much and as often as possible; free to just be you.

May you let success ring your bell.  Ha.


                                                    

Harvest Moon

Harvest
Synonyms -- intake; output; result (dictionary app)

The huge full moon last night was beautiful.  I had such joy and peace standing in its light and basking in its peace and glory.  It was quiet and calm out by the water, hearing crickets and the sound of the splashing water and the light was so bright, magical, giving and healing.  I felt very happy to be right where I was.  Blessed.

May you be open to feeling very happy right where you are.

It currently feels like a whirlwind of movement; a bouncing of one step and situation to another and another again and again and again.  Life feels sporadic yet smoothly so.  I feel guarded yet trusting through how I feel.  I feel open even to what I'd rather not feel open to.  I feel aware of my breath.  I also feel aware in every situation and relationship and I feel [mostly] easily able/open to experience what another is feeling.  I feel an openness of our vast and infinite universe putting the tools in the hands of each of us that are ready and willing to participate lovingly with truth, care, acceptance and empowerment for one another; for all.  It is not so much an understanding.  It is more of a desire to be connected coming to real fruition; an enabling of trust.

This is the time to be aware of what you allow your thoughts and feelings to think and feel.  This is a time to acknowledge realistically what you are saying and sharing out to others and into the world around you.  This is the time when the result(s) of both of these things are mirrored and experienced in the most realistic, challenging, demanding, loud, forgiving, healing, true and receiving way.

May you let the light shine on the 'magic' that you know is within you; is you; is yours.  

May you live in the awesome that comes naturally and joyfully to/through You.  May you follow your fascination and let go of what weighs you down.

Now is the time.  It is always the time.

May you choose to "Just 9Be U".  Be the most complete version of you - knowing, feeling, accepting, living - You.

Intake.  Output.  Result.   It is your choice.  It is unique.  Your life is yours to honor, create, allow, learn, grow, become, flourish, prosper and succeed at.

Perhaps, the greatest success 'harvested' is being true on the outside of what is happening on the inside of YOU.

Beautiful, awesome, human You.

Bam.

Thank you for being here.  You touch me (and others) best by being present in your own presence.

Thunder Boomers

Oh my, we are having some loud thunder boomers threatening rain, wind and lightning.  I can see it coming from the south in the distance.  It amazes me.  It excites me.  I hurry to walk my dog to get inside before it reaches us.  Sometimes, I win.  Sometimes, I get wet.  This is life...

Not only have I known 'thunder boomers', I have also known, seen, experienced and lived through 'life boomers'.  Sometimes, they do not excite me or amaze me as much as the thunder does.

They challenge me to the point that it can feel like harassment.  They swirl me around and make my head spin.  They wake me up and force me to pay more attention.  They guide me in a different direction.  They lift me out of what I have known into what I couldn't have ever imagined.  They can bring me to exactly what I have dreamed of.

We all get 'boomed' from time to time.

What comes to mind are the sayings that 'When life feels like it is falling apart, it may actually be falling into place" and "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain".

May you learn your best way to stay in your passion and compassion for yourself, as best you can, in the most challenging of situations.

May you learn to hear the 'boom' and still know how awesome, exciting and wonderful your overall life has been, is, and will be.  

I am heading north soon, 1200 miles, to go to a wedding where my daughter is honored to be the maid of honor and I am honored to witness her role and her best friend, who I have had the pleasure of watching grow up, enter into a beautiful ceremony of love, commitment, togetherness, bonds, family and joy.  Love is in the air and it is a joyful boom. 

Whatever way the booms may be showing up in your life just now; however you are experiencing them; wherever you find yourself, may you be open to the true, innate and authentic you.  In doing this, your best and most true path(s) are open for you and you propel others to live from the same authenticity that they see and feel you sharing.

Booming doesn't have to be a completely harsh experience.  It can be a completely loved experience.  Either way, [any way] it is my wish that the true you will be shining through.

I wish for you to be in b(l)oom through your most authentic, compassionate and vibrant self.

In this, may you live the fullest experience here in the present moment and expand and stay open for every experience that life teaches, grows, loves, challenges and nudges you to.  Stay in your heart.  Stay in your light.  Stay in your truth.  

May you see, feel, know and be the most awesome you that is possible. 

 It won't always be easy.  It won't always be challenging.  May it always BE U.

May your life always be from your most truthful heart, mind, body, soul and unique experience.  In this, you are your own hero.  

Sad; So Sad

I woke up this morning feeling sad.  Just sad.

I had a rough dream.  And, I'm sure most of you know how real dreams can feel.

I still told myself that it was going to be a good day.  Today, however, I added 'if it kills me'.   Yikes.

I stayed in a state of lull for a lot of the day and as I type this, I am not feeling overwhelmed with happiness.

And, it is okay.

This is what us humans do.  We experience sadness.  We experience many, most, if not all emotions from time to time.  It is what we do with these emotions that make us who we are and what we experience.

I say we allow the emotions; we stay mindful of the emotions and we emote them through as much love and ease that we are able to acquire at the time; through each feeling.

I can be sad and I can still laugh.  I can be sad and I can cry.  I can be sad and there are so many choices that I can choose from.  My least favorite is anger towards another.  I'm learning to be not so fond of anger towards myself as well.

May you emote what you feel.  May you breathe.  May you be.  May you know who you are in and through silence.

May you revive your self-love often.

In self love, perhaps, all we can share is love.  May you let love.

In this, perhaps, it can be the fastest way to turn our frowns upside down.  Ha.  Sorry; couldn't resist.

I wish you a beautiful way to process through you living your human life.

Hope and Inner Knowing

I have so much hope and inner beliefs that allow for my inner knowing to believe in my hope. ...

Healing.

Healing, perhaps, is more about accepting and allowing joy in your life just as you are, with what you are experiencing, in as many moments and situations as possible.

Perhaps, it is not about dis-ease free.  It is not about feeling happy and well all the time.  Just what if our humanness is about some discomfort, some misfortune and even some pain.  Exactly in the amounts you have known and will know.

Healing, just maybe, is about letting love, truth and trust walk with us in every step of our journey.

Finding, doing and being things that lift us up, makes us feel most like ourselves and not letting go of our own inner guidance, strength and tenacity just may be what healing is.

To be healed, just maybe, is not being dis-ease free.  It is not even stress-free.  It is allowing love, truth and trust to participate in all of it; in all that we do and are.

May you know healing in as much and as many moments and situations as possible.

I feel hopeful.  I believe.  I am connecting to my own inner knowing and it is telling me that I am spot on.  In this moment anyway.  Ha.

I will take it.

May you be hopeful.   May you believe.  May you connect to your own inner knowing and know that, for you, you are spot on.  In whatever moment(s) you can make this so.

May you be healing.  May you feel healed.  May you be healed.  May you know joy.  May you live in your own strength and tenacity.  May you let love, truth and trust walk with you through and in every breath...  as many as humanly possible for you today and every day.

Thank You.

Full - Oh boy

I come to write just now with an over-filled -full- stomach.

I just had a bowl of chocolate ice cream with bananas, strawberries and peanuts.  And, as I much I don't want to admit, a swirl of chocolate syrup wrapped in.  Oh, how happy my mouth was.  lol

And, yet, here I sit, full and uncomfortable.

I used to be real good at asking myself before I ate something, if it was going to make me feel better or not.  If I said yes, I would eat it and if I responded no, I would not.  That worked for me for a long time; fairly easily.

Lately, oh lately, I haven't even been asking myself this question.  It is like I have completely forgotten about this question.

What is a woman to do...  !

Tomorrow is another day.  I can bring this question forward in my mind and remember it.  I can, at the very least, be open to doing so.  I shall see what happens.

May you be open to doing what works in your best interest, health, happiness and well-being.

Even if I made a smaller bowl, I would not feel as full.  I can substitute ice cream for a dark piece of chocolate; perhaps some chocolate pudding.  A bowl of fruit tastes really good to me too.  I can often think of it as my 'candy'.

I hope I remember this feeling.  I hope I remember not liking this feeling.  I hope I treat myself kinder and with more love and affection.

Awareness comes first.  

May you stay in awareness of what works for you and what doesn't...  Awareness of what you want to feel like and what you don't want to be creating as an uncomfortable, unhealthy experience for yourself.

In this, we find confidence, joy, strength, feel-good and 'oh yeah'.

May you get your 'oh yeah' on.  I believe in you.

 

Just Sayin'

Sayings I have recently heard myself say; saw myself write and/or heard myself think...

I'm honored to share them with you.

May you say, write, hear, and feel kindness towards yourself; as often and as much as possible.  Choose You.

Just Be U.

Grow Yourself Complete

Breathe.  Stretch.  Smile.

Open up and find the best surprise ever... You!

Think about...   Enhancing your health (not fixing it).

Accept what you feel and let love.

See what tomorrow brings.

Today is going to be a good day.

Day is done.  Rest has come to rejuvenate the body and the mind.  Open up to the soul.

Be good to You.

Everything always works itself out one way or another.

Open up to the life that is uniquely yours.

"Be here now".

May you grab one of these if it resonates and supports you.  May you create your own to support the awesome that is You.

There are many different paths and options.  Choose the path(s) and option(s) that open(s) you up to the you that you so enjoy being with.
