My background is that of Executive Secretary for the local Electric company (11 years).

Learning

  

I just attended the IDEA World Virtual Convention in California, USA from my home.  There is a first for everything.  I had told myself that I wasn't going to renew my Personal Training certification, however, today, on the very last chance to be able to renew it, I did.  I just wasn't ready to let it go yet.  So, I chose to honor this.  And, most of the classes and lectures I attended were a real treat for me.

It made me think that I never share much about what I have studied, experience, love and get excited about. It made me move more daily and it fired me up to be reminded of how I love anything fitness, health and wellness; mind, body, and spirit.  

I would like to share some of what I have been so fortunate to learn, engage in and experience...  a little about professional titles and accolades...

Below is my business card.  It is the colors of the rainbow.  It is colors associated with Chakras.  It is an open heart.  It is a reminder to 'Be U'.  The grass represents a foundation for growth.  It is an offering, a wish, for you to 'Grow Yourself Complete'; again and again and again.  The number 9 can represent completion.  

Perhaps, if there is any kind of struggle going on within yourself for longer than you'd like just now, give yourself one minute of every hour, 60 seconds, to just let it go, turn it off and do nothing but concentrate on your breath.

Perhaps, sitting with your breath is one of the easiest, loving, healing, effective things one can do for ourselves just now.  It is a conscious decision.  It is a conscious practice.  

May you breathe and know that you are...

May you pay attention to your breath and learn as much about your own awareness of your own breath as possible.

I wish you [as beautiful, easy and fun as possible] continued lessons to be the best and most fulfilled You possible; if this is what you wish for yourself.

Iguana

We get by with a little help from our friends.  

Holding space for another is just being with another in their time of joy; time of pain; time of celebration; time of woe.  No need to fix anything or them.  No need to be any different than you are.  There is no need for anything to be different.  Letting the moment, situation, event, feeling, story and breath be what it is; how it 'plays' out.  When we hold space for someone, we are present to their situation without judgment, additional planning or any desire to change the outcome or to create an outcome other than what is and what will be.  

May you ‘just be’ with another in their joy, pain and everything in between.  May you let another ‘just be’ there for you too ..  

May we elevate each other within and through our own human journey.

Lightning


Lightning.  It can be seen best when the lightning bolt is surrounded by darkness.  

There is always active darkness.   There is always active light.  In the beginning, middle and end of nearly everything, if not everything.  And in between and during this darkness and light, there is so much life and living to do. This is the human experience.  

Currently, in this very interesting, outrageous, challenging, very purported and energized time, the light is shining brightly on much darkness.  Many 'things' have been like this for a long time.  These things are now having to (and we are definitely being called to) come out from 'under the rug' and discussed, focused on, felt and truly experience the 'elephant(s) in the room'.  

Oh my my my my.

It is time.  The time is now.  We are being opened wide individually and collectively to see, feel, look, be, and do differently many things.  

I left my high rise condo today finding myself doing a full once over just to be sure I was dressed accurately and being certain that I had everything I wanted to bring with me.  I truly did a once over, an around about in my mind of my self checking out the fullness, security, safety, and compliance within my own guidelines to bring comfort to myself.  And, all I was doing was going for a walk with my dog.  I found myself feeling almost shocked that such thought, empowerment and evaluation went through me on a deeper and more aware level than ever before. 

I think more than not, just maybe, this is a very helpful and productive thing.  Our own awareness of our own way of doing, being, living, sharing and experiencing life is kind of fun and awesome; if we choose to look at it this way.

May you be aware of how you are; how you do, how you live, how you share and how you are experiencing each moment of your life.  What is and is not working for You.

The great news is that you have the power to change just about everything about how you experience You.  You have the power to build upon just about everything about how you experience You.  The not so great news is that You are the only one that has this power and this supernatural, divine power is for your use only on You.  

It feels like the energy and 'lightning bolts' hitting me and going through me are teaching and freeing me to bask, live, co-create and experience life as only I can.  While it does not feel easy most of the time just now, there are moments when I feel like I can experience and jump into endless number of options, situations, pathways, walkways, and roads to live in the great power of being me.  

May you be open to the endless possibilities of awesome and power that is yours to live in the power of being You.

May you allow your truth of everything that is You thrive in what shows up for you and what is created by you.

Sometimes, when it feels like there are no options or paths available is the most magical time to connect to our greatest abilities to create, live, be and breathe anew.

May you trust that the light(ning bolts) that is showing up on what may feel like darkness to you is there to lift you up, carry you forward and place you into one of your most important moments, experiences, and situations of your life.

Be empowered by being truthful to yourself about what you are bringing to these light and dark times.  Move forward from and through this truth and uniqueness that is You(rs).  And so it is.  So it may be.  Amen.

May you let your love strike with every breath you take.  Internally as well as externally.  Bam.

Clarity

Sometimes, no matter how hard we look, think, research or want to see things more clearly thinking it will give us some sort of peace of answers, it just does not happen.  As we live in the now, staying present and aware, (perhaps, hanging loose and trusting in ourselves to handle, lovingly, what comes our way) things that are supposed to come clear do in the best timing for our own being, growth and life.

Sometimes, even when something does become clear, peace and answers do not always arrive with the clarity.  Here, again, accept the moment and the situation for what it is and bring your true loving self into it as best you can.  

There is always something positive, cool and beautiful going on.  Sometimes, we have to look harder than in other situations or moments, but there is always something that encourages, picks us up, looks/feels better if we look and let it be so.  

May you believe, experience and ‘be clear’ about this.  Just what if this practice could provide you with each moment being the best you can experience it to be...

If all else fails, eat ice cream!

Sun and Fire

 I wrote about sun and fire yesterday and last night I witnessed it; what was sun and fire to me.  Oh it was fun, enchanting, exciting, beautiful, awesome and magical.   

Nature’s live entertainment was super and greatly appreciated.  There is something that takes the fun and joy of ‘a thing’ to a whole other level when we can share what we love with another and they enjoy it too.  

When I write these blogposts, I do not stop to think about much more than the title and a snippet of where to begin [perhaps, you can tell, ha].  After that, it feels like the words flow from above my head through my body and out of my fingertips.  

I do not verbally converse the way I write.  It is very different and unique to me the words and phrases that show up and are typed out here.  I go with it as it feels most true, most important.   It is my goal to, being as true and vulnerable as I can be, ignite what is inside of you to be 'entertained' and processed by You.  

More than anything, I want to share my truth and my vulnerability.  I am most honored and do a happy dance when and if it supports you to process your own truth and vulnerability to yourself, through yourself, in your most effective and honest way; in each moment, thought and awareness of You    

Your fire, your light, your strength, your POWer coming forth from within You is my calling, thrill, satisfaction, fulfillment, purpose of my soul work and human character.  It is where I get entertained and recharged.   

May we allow the churning of our deepest, most innate purpose and calling be as powerful and bright,  enigmatic and allow it to 'just be'; like fire, like the sun... coming from and through our own subconscious which may be something even more than and much bigger than ourselves.

Thank you for being here.  Thank you for your openness to your own truth from your own kindness and power burning within You out.

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Do you run through each day
on the fly
When you ask “How are you?”
do you hear the reply?

When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?

You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last

Ever told your child,
We’ll do it tomorrow
And in your haste,
not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
‘Cause you never had time
to call and say “Hi”?

You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

       David L. Weatherford

Sometimes it is the smallest of things that lift us up the most.   

Perhaps, ask yourself what are the little things you noticed and/or became aware of that brought you and connected you to your joy recently...


Reflection

Reflection..  

Whether you are someone that has extra time or one that is bombarded with ‘life’  or one that stays in between, many of us are all more on our knees, collectively, now than ever before.  

It feels to me that we are being asked to - and when we do not adhere - being forced to feel, see, become, grow, change, and grasp in ways that we have not yet experienced or easily know how.  

2020 has spoken, crashed, evolved, transformed, challenged, enlightened and is here to demand the ‘phoenix’ in each of us to rise up.  

With the fire and sun energy that are our own, we grow anew from the depth of our innate understanding and truth    Or at least this feels as it this is true for me and, also, one of the best and favorite choices for myself.

May you know what works best for you to get your ‘oh yeah, I got it going on’ vibe.    Ha!  

May you connect and ‘play’ [reflect and process] with what works best for you and your current situation and deep seeded truth.   

Reflection...  May you invite what you are hoping for.   May you relax into yourself in this moment.   

THE BEAUTY YOU SEE IS WITHIN YOU.

Breathe. Let It Be

 It really feels like I am being internally changed with the way I process me, life, situations, everything.  I'm open to flow with and ride with the journey that shows up.   I request a great one going forward.  

We have survived everything; 100% gotten through everything thus far.  Pretty good odds that this is how it works.  Many things were and are questionable just now.  Heavy.  Heavy.   And I say 'bring it on'...  But as gently, lovingly and easily as you can universe.   I ride.  

If it feels right to/for you, feel whatever you are sitting or laying on or even standing on just now, feel what is underneath you completely support your whole body.  Let go and let it support your weight, fully and completely.  From your head to your feet.  From your feet to your head.  Breathe a big belly breath (or 5) and let go and melt into this support.   

Breathe in....   Breathe out....    If you want to count to 6 or something on each breath in, each breath out - good.

Let go.   Breathe.  Feel the breath come into and fill up your lower belly up to your chest.  Feel the breath leave letting your belly deflate and your body let go and completely relax.  Relax your jaw, your forehead, your shoulders.  Breathe.  

Relax your neck, your back, your belly, your spine;  breathe.  

Relax your butt, your legs, your feet, your toes; breathe.  

Notice the air coming in is cooler and the air going out is warmer.  Breathe.   

Whatever you feel, whatever you want, whatever you fear, whatever you dream, for just now, let it be so.  Let it all be ok.   Let it all be what it is.   Breathe.  

I send love to You.

You are awesome exactly the way you feel, want, fear, dream, be, do and are.   You were made perfect, your life situation is perfect, your journey is perfect.  Perfect for you.  Perfect as you.  Perfectly perfect for the reason and calling of you being you here now; always.  Love yourself in every cell.  Breathe. Allow.  Let it be. Let You BE.  

May you breathe and let it be...

Not Present but Here

 I come here not wanting to.  Yikes.

I have a resistance to showing up here on my blog.  My blog where I want and aim to be open, vulnerable, true, hopeful, helpful and whatever else may be positive for each of us human doings and beings.

It is always my desire to pick someone up, share some fun, truth and love and carry on living my most innate truthful journey.

I feel a hostility within myself towards the truth(s) that are showing up all around me, through me and in me.

Ouch.

Not a fun place to experience life from.  And, it is my truth, my love and my will to carry on that fights and has anger bursting forth, from and through me.

I take a deep breath.  I consciously sit feeling the chair underneath me supporting me and the floor underneath my feet my foundation.  Staring out at the blue purplish sky with white spots of fluffy clouds, I feel there is so much more than me.  So much more than the experience of me.  So much more than any one of us alone and even more than all of us together.

There is a force, a guide, a practice and multiple paths and scenarios that, as each one of us see, looks unique to each one of us.  Is unique... Is born through and from the experience of each of us and so much more connected, powerful, empowering and encompassing that the human mind can ever witness.

Perhaps, the agitation that I feel within me is what is present to carry me forward and create anew; create better; meet me where I'm at to take me to where I'm going.  So, as I don't really feel like being present to this feeling, I am here.

May you let whatever you are feeling present itself to you from your most loving manner, way and possibilities that are awaiting your acceptance of where you are here, now, and present.  The truth of you in this moment now.  

Just what if we are all where we are supposed to be and feeling what we are supposed to be feeling.

This is what propels and carries us forward to the new, transformed, enlightened world and way(s).

I wish for you to allow yourself to let your 'here-ness', your truth, be so.  Be present in your here and now just as you see, feel and experience the fullness of everything that is.  

There is magic happening here even, or maybe especially, when there is a heaviness that we have never felt or experienced before in this exact way that we are experiencing 'life' now.

May you be extra kind and loving to yourself as you journey this journey that seems to be presenting itself to each and every one of us in the here; the now.

Needing to send out light and love through my irritability and exhaustion.  My truth in this present moment, here and now.  

I bow to the depth of everything that is.

The light is on the darkness and may we all bring our own love to it, through it, in it and beyond it.

And so it is.  Amen.

Thank You.

As Above So Below

Outside the sky was offering its 'live entertainment' which had me thinking ‘As above, so below'.  The clouds made up a low and deep navy blue band and the ocean was also offering a distinct and beautifully amazing deep navy blue horizontal line.  It just felt soothing, empowering and beautiful with a bit of fun mixed in.  

I started really wondering about this 'as above, so below' statement and what it was really about and did a bit of research.  To me, it means what is above is also below.  Mirror images of one another yet in their own profound way.

It was first seen in the Emerald Tablet created by a man by the name of Herman Trismegistus who founded Hermeticism, a form of religion/tradition/philosophy that is based on and explores nature, astrology, the soul, the human mind, alchemy, God and the universe.  

The whole quote or verse is "As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul.." (Information from 'guardian-angel-reading')

Ooooh, I like it!  I like it a lot...  'One' comes to mind.  We are all as of and from one source.  

Our soul is in the universe and the universe is in our soul.  

There is something so much bigger than each of us that has a greater understanding, a greater connection and a flow that neither one human or all of us together can really know, understand, always thrive in or always live as.  And, yet this greater than-ness is in each of us. 

We can find ourselves in peace, love, acceptance and the 'zone'.  I do not know anyone that can stay in all peace, all love, all acceptance and always in the zone.  Humans are not supposed to or we would be doing so.  

The human experience is to be above, below, within, without, soulful and not.  

Wherever you find yourself; feeling whatever you are feeling, being what you are being, doing what you are doing, know that this is exactly how it is supposed to be just now for each of us or it wouldn't be so.

Things will always change.  Our journey will always show us old and new feelings and ways.

Let you be so.  Let you let you know your okayness even (or especially) when you do not feel it. 

May you welcome 'what is' as nature, the universe, your mind and your soul and ask your heart to be present.  I say this because when our hearts are present fully, alchemy happens in favor of ourselves, life, each other and the whole of everything that is.  

I just read a few minutes ago, "The best love is the one that makes you a better person without changing you into someone other than you."  Sharnie Jacobs Philander

This is the firm beauty, strength and way of the love that I wish for you.  As above, so below, may 'awesome' touch you again and again and again.  

You are beautiful and a part of everything that is touches you and you touch it.


Heavy

It certainly can feel like very heavy and different times that we are living in and through just now.  Moments of new.  Moments of confusion.  Moments of non-sense.  Moments of different opinions.  Moments of different ways.

These moments surely can feel different and louder than any we have ever experienced in this way before.

Moments.  Breath.  Breathe.  Anew.

I am seeing beautiful light (awareness and appreciation) shining on things deeper and brighter than ever before.  A lot of these things are every day things that we have known on an every day basis.  Like a smile, a helping hand, a connection of warmth and support; an inner feeling of confidence and sureness.  Just in accomplishing a job together.  Knowing how to do the job like the 'back of your hand'.  Like finding ourselves in the same place as another.  Such as having the same goal of another.  

Different ways and the appreciation of same is often deeper and louder in ways that were not as noticed or done on auto-pilot; automatically.  The appreciation wasn't as noticeable, perhaps, because they were regular things that just worked in such a way that made our lives easier; better; more complete, more sure of how-to.

Now with these things that 'just were', I am realizing my great gratitude of, appreciation for and the comfort they provide(d) me.  I find myself basking in the good and easy of the things that are still somewhat good and easy.  

The heaviness of life has offered us an opportunity to do just this.   

In the heaviness of a situation, there is always light.  There is always love.  There is always beauty.   

May you be/offer the light, the love, the beauty.   May you feel/see the light, the love, the beauty.   

Amen.   May it be so.  So be it.  

May you let your thoughts support and focus on the beautiful and the love.  

May you do your best to not focus on the heavy.

When it is not possible because the heavy is, well, so heavy.   May it be possible to choose to look for the beauty, the light, however small and subtle (if not the loud and deep), in the heaviness of each situation or each feeling that creates the feeling of discombobulated, sad, heartbroken, scared and/or uncertainty.  If we look hard and deep enough, there is always, always, always something no matter how small, hidden or how deep we have to look.  There is always something that helps to uplift, support and feel hopeful through.

Peace

I'm reminded of the book by Dr. Seuss, "Oh the Places You'll Go!"

I started to read it to my daughter before she was born; while she was still in my belly.  I gave her a special version of it when she graduated.  I have always loved this book and I so always wanted it to inspire my beautiful and brilliant daughter.

I so wish for it to inspire you as well.

Some quotes from it are as follows:

"You are on your own and you know what you know and you are the one who'll decide where to go."

"You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know.  You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.  So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact and remember that life's a great balancing act."

"You're off to great places!  Today is your day!   Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!"

I wish you acceptance and use of your own inner wisdom.  I wish you as much balance in your life as possible.  I wish you to follow your dream(s); your inner calling(s); your desire(s).

As you listen to your inner wisdom, create balance in your life and follow your dreams and desires, you will invite peace.  You will create peace.  You will be at peace and know peace.  

May you get excited about your own peace within your own being.   

Wishing you your own harmonious peace with whatever shows up in your life; as much and as often as possible.   Get in da zone.  The zone of You.

Oh.  The life that opens up to us when we are ‘in the zone’.  


Behold

What I perceive as beautiful may not be what you see as beautiful.  Sometimes, when I am not looking for it, I see it  Sometimes, it doesn't appear unless I look for it.

And, always, when I do look for beauty, I see it.  It is there in the sky.  It is there in a person.  It is present in a situation.  It is hidden deeply in pain.  When I look for it, I can always find it.

Beauty can also be a feeling.  A feeling of freedom; of vastness; of love; of care.  

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...  And, this is what matters most.   Your experience of beauty; of beautiful.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...  So is kindness, love, support, togetherness and peace. 

May you behold all these 'goods'.  

Heart

Having my dinner last night, my glass dripped a drop of perspiration onto the tabletop.  It was one tiny drop of water.  It was the most magical drop of water I have ever experienced.  

I was eating one of my most favorite comfort food meals.  We were waiting  for an ‘Instacart’ food shopping delivery.  I was sitting with my husband.  It felt like a normal evening.  I was content and fulfilled.  

Outside the sky was doing its ‘live entertainment’ which had me thinking ‘As above, so below’.  The clouds made up a low and deep navy blue line just above the ocean and the ocean was also offering a distinct and beautiful deep navy blue horizontal line of color.   It just felt soothing, empowering and beautiful with a bit of fun in there.  

I looked down on the table, close to the edge, and there was this most perfect symbol that felt like it was lifting its vibration up towards me as a gift; a sign; an offering of pure white love.   The perfection astounded me.  A great feeling of honor, peace and trust came over me.  

The feeling of happiness deep within me arose.  Quietly and gently, it blasted me and spread through every part of me.  It felt like a cleansing and/or a release; a dissolution of any darkness that was anywhere near me, in me or held by me.  The dissolution felt like it strongly reached out; met with the sky, into and between the two bold navy blue lines and expanded into the vastness of the universe.  Or was the vast energy of the universe...   It was quite a raw and very real experience for me.

It had a blessed sense that as it was for me to experience it was also for You.  

Please take that in if you are so inclined.   The universal dissolution of any darkness that is/was anywhere near you, in you or held onto by you.   

What is deeply in me is also deeply in you.   All living creatures.   The energy that gives us breath, a heartbeat, an innate wisdom.   Always.  Forever.  It cannot be any other way. 

This tiny perfect little drop of water from my perspiring glass was a Heart. 

LOVE.  

It is in/of You.  It is in/of me.  

May we let our hearts, our love, unite and may we let this most healing, uplifting, binding, guiding, glorious energy of love grow inside of us, spread all between us; and lead us forward into an exquisite life for us all.  

May you let the beauty of your love live vulnerably and spread as far as it feels right for You.  

My love feels as if it can and does envelop the globe and permeates everything and everyone; especially what is open to be permeated.  Ha.  

The flow of love goes and grows. 

As above, so below.  As below, as deep as we can go.  Above and below and everything in between...  May we all be love(d).    

May you see the signs that present themselves to you, for You.   The purpose of you ‘being’ is exquisite.  There are signs all around you to confirm this truth.  I am noone more special than each of us.  I am here to help support your exquisiteness.  You being You.   I am here to live through love.   

The song ‘You've gotta have heart, miles 'n miles 'n miles of heart” comes to mind from “Damn Yankees”.     

What comes in to your mind suddenly just may be a sign for you; an interpretation, a support.  May you take it as such if you are so inclined. 

I wish you mindfulness, awareness, notice of signs for you that are there to encourage, uplift and, perhaps, even touch you deeply.  So deeply that it enables you to touch another just as you are born to do. 

We are all in this life here, now; individually, together for an impact of some kind.  Whether it be soft and gentle or wants to blast through us in unique ways.  

May you trust the process of life through your vulnerable, empowered love and innate wisdom.  

Please bring the awesome that is in you to the table, so to speak.   The universal meeting place that is within us.  The largest invisible, yet I can see it and feel it in my imagination, table of the divine universe.  The table that gives our ‘bread’ and also our breath.   

May we meet each other and share the potluck of who we are and who we are meant to be from the most loving vulnerable birth of us anew.    

Amen and so it is.   I so am here [wanting] to touch your heart.   

Namaste.

Sunset After the Storm

We were on tornado/hurricane watch all weekend.  I had fun 'watching'.  It became even more fun when I knew that we were not in danger.

The waters swirled.  The skies danced.  The colors changed and alternated; fused together and drifted apart.  The winds picked up.  The winds settled down.  Silence was the part that became the most soothing and appreciated for me.  The excitement was thrilling and fun.  Knowing that whatever Mother Nature decided to do, there was nothing I could do but experience her, I released my outcome of her to her.  

As in life, bringing my true self into every swirl, dance, change, alteration, fusion, and direction is my best way to experience all that drifts through and settles in for some time.  

Below is the sunset after the storm...  after the ever changing sky; each ever changing moment. 

May you experience, appreciate, adapt and flow through the continuum of ever changing and any and all energy that exchanges around you and through you.

What we bring into each situation [how we feel and think] creates our experience of it.  

All in a matter of minutes.  Each moment.  Each breath.   Live in it.  Let love lead.   Be your true self.  Amaze yourself.

Laughter

Laughter is good for the body, mind and soul.  Laughter is fun.   Laughter releases happy hormones.  Laughter is love to our beingness.    Our hearts love laughter.   Laughter is contagious.  

May you be contagious with laughter.

Here are some one liners to encourage you...

"I was wondering why the ball was getting bigger and bigger and then it hit me."

"I just found out I'm colorblind.  The diagnosis came completely out of the purple."

Undoing is Becomng

I keep hearing myself thinking and saying... “In our undoing, we are becoming.”   This feels true to me and I believe it is a better than ever growth (of all living things and connections) that we may be experiencing and witnessing.  Surely not a whole lot of fun, much heartache; much non sense; and we are flowing and/or being forced into a new way of doing many things.

May we let any exhaustion (or you choose a word of your own deep experience) lovingly lead us into the depth of ourselves and out to create ‘awesome’.   As much and as often as possible.   May we trust the process and trust ourselves to be able, ok, enough and love(d).   

Thank you.   Yikes. Whew.  Oh my.  Serious stuff.  May feel impossible.  Yet, so much is doable.  
 
Yes we have this.  ‘You’ are doing great in so many ways.   Let the unraveling happen and bring your loving, caring, feeling, truthful and gentle strength into everything you do.

We are 'becoming' a more humane and healing, uplifting, consciously kind (and acts on it) world.

May you let anything that feels like an 'undoing' lead you into your 'becoming'...  everything you are and want to be.
