Sole/Soul

It is a really good time to do what is good for your soul.  

Be the sole keeper of your soul here on Earth.

Feel it.  Connect to it.  Embrace it.  Listen to it.  Hear it.  Respond as only your love can.

With changes and moments anew and happening, your soul remains solely to guide You to be You.

The beauty of You.  The gratitude and appreciation for You and Your life.  

The love, the magic, the wisdom, the care, the kindness and the truth of You.  

Your feelings.  Your way.  Your wisdom.  Your strength.  Your guidance.  Your everything.  

May you be everything 'You' through all of these things.

Feed your soul and allow your soul to feed You.

Soul - "high-mindedness; noble warmth of feeling, spirit or courage, etc."  "conscious, intelligence, individuality, essence, force" source: dictionary

Everything you need for this lifetime can be guided by your sole/soul's knowing.  May you let it be so.

May you let your soul guide you to soar.

To soar is to be vulnerable, authentic, open, mindful, grateful, honorable and graciously true to being You and to all living things.  

What's Up

I come to type here and I hear myself asking myself 'what's up' with no easy or quick reply.  Hoot.

Perhaps, too much is 'up'.  There is a lot of stuff up.  There is also stuff that is over, changing, becoming, leaving, buried, ignored, overplayed and happening.

Life is happening.  You are happening.  That is, just maybe, what is up. 

How are You in this moment...  What are you feeling...  What are you experiencing...  What is going on...  What is going down...  How are you handling your reaction to it...  How are you stepping in it and through it...

That is what's up.

May you love yourself through.

May you be extra kind to You.

May you be extra gentle with You.

May you be your own best friend.

May you do it if it feels right, true and loving.

May you fully enjoy and embrace it.  

May you change it if it doesn't.

If you can't change it, may you change how you see it and/or experience it while fully being in it.

Living in and through our truth does set us free.  Opens us up to all that we are.  

Whatever the 'it' is in just this moment now.  

The only way really through it is through it.

May you walk in your 'now thing', forward and through, in your truth and your trust of the process of life and of yourself.

That is what is up.. just maybe.  

You know your life best.  Honor it.  Honor You.

In this, we honor life and all that lives.  May it be so.  It is so as we open to letting it so.

Thank You.

You and Your Life Matter.

You and Your Energy Vibration(s) Matter.

You being true to You through love, kindness and gentleness not only really matters and empowers You, this is what opens our majestic energies that matters and empowers all.

May we lift each other up in supporting each other's 'what's up' through love, kindness and gentleness.  Let the truth of You and Your Now present itself, be present and be the present to the change that awaits you through you living your truth through love.

Eggs

I have known it to always be said to not put all your eggs into one basket...

Well, it sure feels like life is supporting us in just this quite loud, perhaps.  It feels impossible to do so.  It feels like, just maybe, portions of one 'egg' are even necessary to walk through the course of life as it is being shown to many of us just now.

When I put my energy and thoughts in/on outside sources, I feel pulled and even pushed in many different possible directions.  They are not all pleasant just now.  They are not tried and true.  They are not known and certain.  There is a beautiful source of something way greater than ourselves always present.  

When I put my energy and thoughts into being the truest, best version of me, there is a peace in any confusion or situation I may encounter.

May you go inward - check in with yourself whenever you want to connect to your best direction to go forth.

In knowing, listening, trusting and living in the truth of your emotions, heart and wisdom, you just may find that you have every thing You need to take your next step.  

May you step beautifully through your internal world out into the external place that we call Life.  Our Earth.  Our Universe.  Our World.  Your Now Moment.  You.  Us.  

Truth

Oh the truth of what is .. for You.  Yours..   Your truth.   

I see and feel some struggle with the truths that are a-knocking.  Strong and deep yet following and questioning.  From moment to moment, perhaps, the ride of our lifetime is happening and being sorted. 

May you trust the truth as you see it through your heart and engage/disengage as what feels best to You; as You are now - in this and each moment of experiencing You.   

May you live in self-kindness, self-trust and self-honor.   In this, kindness, trust and honor is most available with each experience, situation and connection that comes forth.   

As we are mindful of our own reactions, we can learn a lot about ourselves.  We can change/alter/choose different and better if desired.  

With an open heart and an open mind, we can invite and choose happiness.   

We can truly see and feel the best way through by being mindful and open.

May you be open and mindful from, into and through your best case scenario.  

The possibilities of You are enchanting, fulfilling, empowering and to be empowered. The possibilities of You are, perhaps, unlike anything you have ever imagined before.  Just maybe, where you have never gone before.   Think endless.  Live up.  Let love not worry.  Breathe deep.  Reach far.  

Trust your truth in this moment with love, vitality and your most favorite possibilities.  

We are all crossing into new territory.  

May you open to the best of You through the truth of You as you experience You… 

What's Going On

Sometimes, I feel like I have very little knowledge about what is going on; the actual knowing and/or understanding can be out of my grasp.  'Non-sense' can feel present and walking into and through the unknown can definitely occur.

Yet, within my own self, I can tap in and know.  There is so much wisdom, truth and adventure that can come about by tapping in.

By tapping in, to me, it is becoming aware of what is going on within me.  Acknowledging and breathing mindfully.  Sometimes, slowing down my breathing and taking deeper breaths.  Sometimes, just watching and feeling my breath.  Then, enter into knowing what I am feeling within myself.  Within my body.  Is there a part that is calling for more attention just now.  Is there a part that is talking to me louder than other parts just now.  Tapping in and letting my own realization happen to what is happening within myself.

How am I feeling...  What am I feeling...  Do I want to do something just now...   Is there something that feels like it is pursuing me from within...  Is there something that is bothering me or messing with my peace that I can look at, honor and either change a thought or directly deal with it...

Who am I without any labels or judgment.  Just be and feel.  Be and know.  Walk with the truth of myself trusting myself.

This is where peace lies sometimes dormant, yet always at the ready.  As I go within my truth and open to my love and trust, peace rises up to support me.  Adventure rises up to excite me.  Wisdom rises up to lead me.  All I need do is truly tap in from an open heart and mind believing in all the wonderful possibilities of me.  Seeing and feeling the reality of me in the moment.  

May you tap into you with your heart and mind open believing in all the wonderful possibilities of You.

Get the You on that you cherish, are proud of and connect with on the deepest, most strongest of 'oh yeah this is me' connection(s).

This is You living You.  The greatest gift you give to our world and you give to You and your loved ones.

Booyah.   May you “Just 9Be U".  "Grow Yourself Complete."  Again and again and again.  Let love.  We all win.

Connecting to the sacred divineness of You and others is what uplifts, period.  As you live the truth of You, you are encouraging, inviting and creating space for others to live from the truth of themselves.

Greatest gift of being human.  Oh the miracles, magic, love, connection, strength, tenderness, glow and healing happens.  

Let's light up the world by tapping in to the best parts, roads and signatures of being ourselves.  Watch and participate in the evolution, transformation and bliss that is truly what we are here to participate in.

If you are alive now, breathing, being and doing, you are here to change and shift the way of the human race being in the world/universe/energy/vibration of the best is yet to come.

Individually, together, united in support and kindness of one another.  Humanely, passionately, tenderly and a beautiful explosion of enjoyment.  

Just.  What.  If.

Thank You.

Trust

When I trust myself, my life situations and thoughts are the most empowered they can be.  

When I trust myself, I honor my Creator.  

As I trust myself, I can more easily trust outside of myself.   

When I trust myself, I know whatever comes my way, I am here for me.  I am at the ready so no need to be anywhere but in this moment. 

May you trust yourself and know the freedom and empowerment in doing so.  

As long as you trust yourself, you can more easily enter into what you know is true for You.  

May you trust your truth and your instinct, wisdom and knowledge and let You happen through love; as much and as often as possible.  

Love Promise

The promise of ..  Love.  Miracles.  Beauty.  Joy.  .. is You(rs).   

The promise is within You.  How you seek it.  How you invite it.  How you are it.  How you create with it. 

You are the promise of your best self.  

May you feel it; claim it.   The 'promise' that is You.  

May you feel the promise of love, miracles, beauty and joy.   The promise of You being true and authentically You is in the beingness, humanness, openness and within the connection to the innate wonder of You.  

You are the promise to discover.   

to Be.  Live.  Flow.  Love.  Rise.

May you know that within your breath is where the promise of You resides.   

May you "Just 9Be U".  "Grow Yourself Complete"  

Naturally.  The natural wonder(s) for your life is You.

Let yourself flow as it may through the promise that is You(rs). 

Thank You.   

Fried/Burned/Overdone

I have been hearing and seeing, including myself, that there are people who feel like our brains are fried, burned out and/or overwhelmed from time to time. 

I have a theory on this.  We are being our true selves more and more.  We cannot do anything less as our world/universe is demanding this from us.  

Pretense, made up stories to ourselves, acting/being/wanting to feel something other than what we feel are no longer options that can be easily created and lived through.  There is a best way and that is to live our truth with every breath we take.  There is no easy, fulfilling way to ignore what is.  How awesome that Just Being U and living your truth is the way to go.  You have everything built inside of You to allow this to happen.  Just Be U.  

"Why lie when the truth is enough."  Unknown

Reality is loud; within ourselves and through our experiences.

What I know to be true to me is becoming more adamant that I live it.  I am open to live it.  I am not who I was.  I am not who I will be.  This transformation of our world as it was to the world it will be can be scary and certainly unknown.  It often feels like our world is changing faster than the speed of light and we are using our infinite amount of energy to keep up.  Ha.

The professionals in the professions are often having a hard time keeping up.  The stress of adaptation is real for us all.  

The most sacred place is within.  Within Yourself.  

May you get to know the 'universe' within You.  There is everything you need there to live in this world.  Trust yourself.  Trust your inner wisdom.  Connect it to your knowledge.  Allow an open mind.  Allow an open heart.  Factor on through the circumstances and the aspects of now..

If you are feeling a little lightheaded or heavy headed..  If you feel uncertain or in conflict..  If you find yourself looking for 'autopilot' to your life, it is not available just now.  I'm thinking nor would I truly want it to be.  I believe we all want a say in our own living and way of life.  

Right here.  Right now.  You.  Your truth.  Your situation.  You.  Let it all come together with your goal of the here and now.  Honor how you feel.

Just maybe, you are letting go and becoming the You that can best live, thrive and enjoy in this new way of living through the greatest connection that ever was -- the worldwide web.  It is going where no WOman has been able to go before; ever. 

This is your body and your brain living through life as it is today.  Everything YOU starts from within.  Be open to choosing the way you feel best living life as it is today.

Breathe.  Know.  Feel.  Be.  Do.  Honor.  Be open.  

We are all processing a lot.  Perhaps, what you are feeling is present to support You in this process.  

Perhaps, watch yourself journey forward and look for the best possible path.  

May you stay away from the worst case scenarios.

You matter.  Live in, from and through your innate wisdom, your external knowledge, your love and your instinct.   

Be extra kind to You.  Extra gentle on You.  

May you balance yourself as much and as often as possible through your breath, your soul, your humanness and your beingness.  Let the true You connect to what feels most true and best to You.

Our world and true loving You is, perhaps, the best place of all ...  for all.  

Ruh Roh

As I come here to type my blog post, I find myself hesitant and not as free flowing from what I have experienced.  I always knew that what came off the keyboard through my fingers onto the page was something that 'just happened' through an openness that I tapped into.

Just recently with many more coming to visit me here - THANK YOU - I find myself a bit out of this tapped-into-state that was my comfortable place.

I don't want to offend.  I don't want to be laughed at.  I want to respect and be respected.  I have always told myself that I am better one-on-one than in a group setting.  I guess this is me finding it easier and less scary to grasp one person than to understand a whole room, so to speak.  

I was a 'secretary' a long time ago.  My practices were in typing, proofreading, words and sentences.  I then became a 'personal trainer', fitness business owner with practices in movement and the body.  Next, I became a life coach with practices in cognitive thinking, growth, self-love, healing and living the true self.  

I feel as though our whole life prepares us for certain things synergistically.  Our whole life finds us a balance and opens paths going forward.  

As we trust the process of life and ourselves, magic happens.  Miracles arise.  Peace incurs.  Vulnerability invites communication and relationships of the best kind.  

The majority of us want this; I believe.  The vastness of what is available to each of us is endless.  Healing is possible.  Freedom invites liberation.  

I want to thrive in each breath.  In being who I truly am out loud invites and allows this to happen.

May You thrive with every breath You take.

We are being asked (sometimes forced) to do things differently.  As we are true to ourselves and each other, endless healing, freedom and liberation happens.

Do not have to overthink or worry, just Be U.  Be true to who You are and what You feel and what You want.

"Just 9Be U".  "Grow Yourself Complete"  again and again and again.

Being authentically You in this moment is You in your completeness.  Amen.  And so it is.

Add in the Real You

Ever since I can remember, "Change the World” has always been an underlying saying/theme for many of us humans throughout and around the world.   To make a difference.  To make it better. 

I hear myself thinking that, perhaps, it may not be so much to change it, but to add to it to help evolve it.  

Your kindness, your love, your compassion, your truth, your trust, your wisdom, your knowledge, your birthright - the totality of the real You walking in and through your uniqueness.    

This (You) can be the foundation of creating the best, most brilliant world for us all to live in and on.

Woodpecker is known as the bird "connected to the the heartbeat of the Earth itself".  They have their own precise 'drumming'.  "Sometimes the woodpecker will show up just to stimulate new rhythms.  Rhythm is a powerful means of affecting the physical energies.  "..follow your own unique rhythms and flight.  Do what works for you in the manner best for you.  When woodpecker comes into your life, it indicates that the foundation is there.  It is now safe to follow your own rhythms."  From the book "Animal Speak" by Ted Andrews. 

May you meet life through your own loving truth into what life is showing You now.   

The most important person to trust is You.  As you trust yourself and be true to You, your uniqueness colors your life with the most unique patterns and colors.  Let this uniqueness come from deep within You out.  Dance, Drum, Fly, Open to everything that feels the most real and true to You.  Let love.  In this, your spirit and soul knows what best to do through your mind, heart and instinct.  

Are you listening...  Can you feel your own rhythm...  Stay with it as you connect your rhythm to the heartbeat of the Earth.

In this, we all rise.

Let your true colors shine filling the energies of our world with beautiful light, love and rhythm to uplift, evolve and drum up as much 'awesome' and 'oh, that's cool' as possible.

The miracle of You is a present as you turn on your heart-light and let it get brighter and brighter with the loving truth of You.

Our World

World - "Any complex whole conceived as resembling the universe" dictionary

The World is yours, mine, ours.  All living things.  Humans, Animals, Plants. Water, Land, Sky.  Our World.  Our Universe.

From over there to here - From here to over there.. "We Are The World". Quincy Jones/Michael Omartian, Producers.  

Oh Boy.

It is quite the world just now.  We have been open to staggering amounts of information and as we shift from what was to what will be, many (at one time or another) can feel lost/uncertain/confused/unsettled/fearful.  

We are treading into a world where what was cannot withstand.  Perhaps, you can see some things that You wish to be better at; do better at.

I have faith as many perspectives of our world flow through me.  I know chaos as many changes surround me.  I believe in this topsy turvy, upside down and swirling around time that our 'world' is falling into place rather than only falling apart.

I cannot count the amount of times that I have heard, read or said "Love is the Answer'.  Many people,  musicians, creatives, spiritual leaders, healers.   It is.  Your love is the best answer for You.  Love is the best answer for our World.

Your love will best lead You from, through and into your "best of".  Wherever you are, you can choose love.  Whatever you do, you can put love into it.  Every breath you take, let love - your love.

Instead of worry - love.

Instead of blame - love.

Instead of  fear - love.

Through anger - love.

Through sadness - love.

May you breathe love.  Let yours always be with You.

I find that my love creates peace within me.  I find that my love can replace angst and worry.  My love rises me up and supports me to be in the world as the 'best of' Me.

I send love to people, living things, situations.  I open to love when I see the number of views change on my blog posts.  I send love to the people that make this happen.  I feel a connection that uplifts me and I feel gratitude.  I send love to situations that I have no control over yet care.  I send love.  

How are You doing in our world...  What positivity do You connect to when you let your love...  

When you embrace your loving truth with the reality of being You, what do You become aware of - let in - create - and experience...

May you check in with your world.  When your world is embraced in your kindness, our world gets positive energy put into it.

May you put your positive energy into Our World.  I so wish and pray for your world to be the best that it can be; through your truth, trust and love. 

May You hear, be and feel the constant echo of love.  Through it all.  

Who You Are

You were born to be. To Be U.   

The you that you feel and know inside.  The you that thinks, sees, experiences.  The watcher of you thinking, seeing, feeling,  The you that is You.  

May you know and be who you are through your own internal guidance.  

Each of us is unique.  Sure, we have similarities but the overall beingness of each of us vibrates through our own breath and experiences.  

We are the only ones that have lived and live the life that is for each of us.  

You are the only one that knows what it feels like to Be U.  

You are the only one that spends your entire life with U.

Honor yourself.  Be aware of yourself.  Love yourself.  Learn to love yourself fully and wholly.  

It is in your honor of your uniqueness that you best thrive.  

Through self-love and honor, Live.  

As you live through the truth of your experiences, through love, magic happens. 

Freedom.  Communication.  Dreams.  Reality…. You. Yours.    

May you be and live through the marvel that is You. 

May you find your way, the best balance, for You between "go get em" and 'stay, get You'.   

Food

I find myself challenged by some of the foods I am currently choosing to eat.  Comfort foods with sugar and/or fat.  

I'm reaching for the easy.  I am reaching for a 'fix'.  I know that when I'd rather have something (too often) that is not the best choice, I am not eating because I am hungry.

I often ask myself  'If I eat this, will I feel better.."  If I said 'yes', I would eat it.  If I said 'no', I would not.

I am not asking myself this lately and I want the comfort food.

As I was walking near the kitchen today, I realized that food spelled backwards is doof.  I heard my self saying don't be a doof with the food you choose...

So, I come here thinking about this and I'm not sure what I will do with this information/awareness/mindfulness.

I know that I want to feel good or the best I can be with the food I choose.

I drink green smoothies with blueberries on a regular basis.  I eat avocado.  I eat nuts.  I also greatly enjoy the "Haagen Daz" caramel cone ice cream bars.  

My goal is to be more aware of what I choose to ingest.  I want to be more aware while digesting.  I am open to choosing foods that energize me and don't weigh me down.

It matters.  I matter.  You matter.  Life, how we choose to live it, matters.  

May you choose the foods that energize You and don't weigh You down; more often than not.   

Foods that do not put the weight on but have us feeling good about our choices; as much and as often as possible.

Choose You - energized and light; mindful and getting your health on.

Don't be backwards with the food you choose.  Don't be a doof.   Oh my.

May you be your ultimate foodie self.   

p.s.  I am aware that while I’m playing with the non-word ‘doof’, it is not the kindest that I can be to myself.

May you be aware of your own self-talk and shoot for self-kindness.  Thank You.  

Moment in Time

We all have our stories.  We all are living our lives.  We all have experiences.  We are all human.  

Our stories, lives, experiences of ‘being’ are all moments in time.  

We have our past, our present and our future.   

Life can only be lived in this and each moment forward.  Yet, our pasts can have such a place in our mind and body.  We can store many memories in pockets of ourselves.   

What if, just for a trial period, we look at and live in this and each moment forward as ‘fresh’ moments; with fresh and new eyes.   Without any baggage.  Without any ‘what was’.  Would it free us up to create a different type of experience.  Create through this moment of who we are and as we dream now.  Through bringing forth our innate wisdom to this moment, this experience, this situation.. as life is now.   

Using the thought and saying “I’ve always done it this way” may not be our best way now.   

May you open to your best way through your whole [open hearted and minded] self in this moment now.  

May you breathe and open to the best possible You in this experience, this situation now.   

If need be, step out of yourself and ‘see’ from this vantage point what is the best thing to feel, think and do in this moment; through your truth and your trust within You and of You.     

May you get your most awesome out in this moment and from moment to moment anew; being as most loving, open and tender with yourself as possible.    

March

"I like to move it move it."  will.i.am

Happy March.  

May you march into your best body.

I have three words on the bottom of every email I send out.  They are "Breathe.  Stretch.  Smile."

If you already move your body, you are using your breath and increasing oxygen in your body.  I want to believe at some point, you are smiling.  Smiling because you are doing something good for You.  Smiling because you feel good.  Smiling just because you can choose to.  I have never heard anyone say they were sorry that they exercised and/or smiled.  Go You.  

It feels good to stretch our muscles and ligaments when we do it in a way that 'it feels good'.  

May you get to know your body and what type of movement feels best to it.  Dare I say even has fun with it...   Exercise increases our 'happy hormones'.

Whether you've been moving for some time or are just starting out, cross training - doing more than one type of movement/activity - is going to open up your body and make your body its happiest.

If you haven't begun mindfully moving on a regular basis, may I offer to just march in place for five minutes.  Often once started, there is a desire to keep going.  It is okay if you start with just a few minutes.  Your body will thank you.  You can reach up to the sky.  You can reach down past your toes (shoot for this).  You can move side to side.  You can move forward a few steps and back a few steps.  The bigger the steps, the more energy you will expend.  Stay true to what is possible for You.  The most important thing is that as you do it today, you do it again and again and again.  Keep moving on a regular basis.  The regularity of you moving is what will enhance your health, your mood and your energy.

This March, I wish you your kind of movement that brings you more alive; from your head to your toes.

May you get to the point where your whole body vibrates with gratitude and happiness by moving it.  

Start where you are and go at your own pace.  Honor your body.  Just move it through stretching, marching, dancing, yoga, swimming, walking, hiking, weight bearing, etc.  Whatever brings you to feeling alive through strengthening and loving your body.. do that.  Start small.  Keep going.  

May you surprise yourself as you move into the joy of movement.  Oh, it feels so good.  If it does not, perhaps, you are too hard on yourself and you just may be in your mind more than you are in your body.  Listen to your body.  It will talk to you.  It will guide you.  

I wish you the joy of being in your body and moving it on a continuous and steady journey forward.

May you 'march' on.
