Living

 Many of us are living from, through, in and even around a state of shock.   Fear presents itself.  Uncertainty is present.  Questions show up with not many answers maybe now more than ever.  

What I do know is that new and very creative ways are being born.  Awareness is growing.  We are evolving individually and collectively.  

We are breathing differently.  Wearing masks perhaps give us a keener awareness, knowledge and gratitude for our breath.

It is because of our breath that we are alive and living.  It is in our calm breath that we can hear, feel and embrace our truth more clearly. Our truth inside of ourselves. It is in an uncalm and/or sporadic breath that we can feel anxious and/or excited.  We may experience heightened alertness of what is going on inside and outside of our self.   Awareness of our truth that we accept as 'normal' or 'acceptable' as our every day way of living.

I was once taught to change one thing up.  Just one thing if I wanted to explore and participate more in my every day life.  Like get up on the opposite side of the bed.  Use my non dominant hand to do things that I use my dominant hand for naturally.  Dry myself or brush my teeth in a different way or format.  Any little thing that you choose to change up has a rippling effect to change, of change.

Right here, right now this is life; your life.  This is you living your life.  There is nothing more to expect, there is no magic feat that changes the way that human life is lived.  We all experience happy, sad, wonderful, not so wonderful,  hard, easy, alone, and together moments.  

We are supposed to.  This is the human way.  More your way than a right or wrong way.  

Let life be what it is and bring your true human spirit, soul, mind and energy into it.  

Do your best to be kind, compassionate, loving, caring, open, truthful, trusting and with and open mind and heart.  With yourself and your life and with every one and every situation you encounter; as much and as often as possible.   

This is you living your life.  So live it.  Give yourself permission to live the truest of true in everything that lives through you and in everything you live through.

Namaste.  Honor the depth of your own beingness through honoring the same possibility of depth in another.   This is where the best of us resides.  

Live within the best of - well, everything; as much and as often as possible.

You choose.  

May you choose flow, happy, free, true, your wild heart and your soulful existence.

Happy October

Happy October.  

May we let October 2020 be about opening to ownership of our own innate knowing; our truth of how we are choosing to experience our life situations; and standing firm in our purpose and reason for being.      

To, perhaps, get a better 'knowing' of what your purpose could be, answer yourself these questions:  What makes you happy...  What are you good at...  What fulfills your soul and fills you up...  

May you do and be what makes you feel most like YOUrself.

May you bring the best parts of you into October 2020 with you.  Let what no longer serves you or makes you happy stay behind.     

I wanted to write about being Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered as it is the month of Halloween and many of us have known about being bothered and bewildered these past several months and I just couldn't make it work easily.  So, perhaps, we can let go of the bother and bewilder and have some fun with the bewitching.   Ha.  

I wish for You joy, enthusiasm and a general sense of wellbeing.   

May we improve upon our relationships with ourselves, each other and what we each bring into our world.  Keep your awareness at the forefront of everything you do, say, feel, act upon and put out there; if it feels right for you to do.

The good news is that you are the only one in control of these things.  The bad news is that you are the only one that is in control of these things.    

With the color orange representing Fall, Halloween and the Sacral Chakra, much of what I offer here is about and through my knowledge of same.  

Also, this October there will be two full moons, making the second full moon a 'blue moon'.  A full moon is happening now and the second full moon will actually be on All Hallows Eve - Halloween itself.  Many of us have heard the saying 'once in a blue moon'. 

So I end this post with...

Let this month’s blue moon’s powerful folklore and magic extra highlight the magic and miracles that are Yours to live and share out.   Use it's power for your and our world's better good that comes from within, through and out of You.  

You have the power.  You have had it all along...

BOOm.    

Peace and Calm

Meet Peace and Calm...  Two pelicans floating to the flow of the current.  

Peace and Calm are in your breath.  They are in the things you love.  They are in the connection of the people that are easy to be around.  They are in your joy.  They are in your non-resistance.

Calm happens when you are in the zone connected to that thing(s) that make(s) you feel most like you.  The thing that shows you your purpose because you feel it from deep within yourself.  It is in being where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing - and knowing it.  Calm is trusting the process of life and trusting yourself that you will be okay; that you are okay.  It is in your belief and innate knowing that you will always know best how to handle anything that shows up.  

Peace happens when you relax into yourself and offer your body freedom to be and process without your own thoughts that could sway it in any direction.  It is in the feelings that you allow, permit and invite up from within.  Peace is loving and being loved.   It is in being present to the moment and bringing your truest of self into the experience of what is.  Peace is in the acceptance of what is.   

I wish you a calm and peaceful mind, body and spirit.

May you be open to always inviting your body to breathe into its own relaxed flow through a loving and supportive mindset.    

Master Fall

The terrain we are treading on may feel rocky, wavy and bumpy.  We can still choose to 'kiss the ground' with our feet as we walk forward. 

Honor Mother Earth.  Honor Father Land.  Honor Sister Water.  Honor Brother Tree.  Honor ourselves.  Honor each other.  Honor life.

May you own your life.  May you know where, how and that you belong.  If your are breathing (and you most likely are), you belong.  May you step into your true and 'loveful' uniqueness.   

When we own everything that creates who we are and live through our masterful uniqueness, our deepest sense of belonging happens.   May you ‘fall’ in!  Ha!  

Life is not always clear.  Our minds are not always clear.  Our hearts are not always clear.  Our communication is not always clear.

Our souls are always open to support us to connect to our purpose of who we are.

Perhaps, we do not have to have clarity to bring our truest, most loving part of ourselves into everything we are, know, do and say.  We only need to be open, courageous and true.

Live on the edge.  Let adventure, excitement and You happen.  You will either fly or something or someone will catch you.  You may even fly and catch what you desire.  

May you fall into the truth and vulnerability of You.

Communities of Tranquility

Tranquility.  Go there.  In your mind, heart, spirit.. led by your soul - open up to the tranquility within you that fortifies, heals and uplifts You.

May you trust any 'blues' you may have and/or feel.  Accept them.  Stand in them.  Let them guide You to a better, happier version of You.

The color of the water outside of my window has been some of the most beautiful colors I have ever seen.  Oh, I get so much enjoyment looking out.  I enjoy it so much that it opens me up to my own peace and tranquility; the hope and gentle strength within myself.  

I am so grateful that I can share it with You.  It makes it that much more enjoyable for me.

When we sit in our feelings; stand in what we feel; share how we are feeling; and walk in and through our feelings with open hearts, vulnerability, trust and love - there just may be nothing better than when someone responds in a way that we feel heard and acknowledged exactly how we are.  One of the most beautiful things is to feel heard and acknowledged.  This is honor.  

This honor and acknowledgment so easily helps to empower us.  Sure, we can choose to empower ourselves by honoring ourselves and, yet, there is something so positive when honor/acknowledgement is offered to us and through us all.

May you come from the place of acknowledgement and honor.  Honor one another.  Honor thyself.

We can still be, think, do and react differently.  Yet, we can still honor each other.  It is in this honor that our souls are most free to shine tranquility into all of our hearts, minds and spirits; therefore, communities.  

Oh what a beautiful picture we all can choose to paint.

Through the guidance of our souls uplifted, we create an earth, an universe, a community, a foundation, a paradise of empowerment, positivity, wholeness, oneness and the ultimate beauty of living individually, together in same.

Amen.  May it be so.  

Colorful Love

May we all tune in to the luminosity of each other.  

We all have a brightness that burns from within.  A brilliant light that fades and strengthens.  Sometimes enlightenment comes from a mere spark.  Sometimes it is the torch within us that lights our way.

In a flame, we can see a spectrum of color.   Enlightenment is a broad mindedness through education, information, instruction, knowledge, and learning.  Enlightenment happens best when we open our minds to all of these things.  

The skies above us are full of color.  The leaves as they slowly trickle off of the trees during Fall are colorful.  Our thoughts can be colorful.  Love can be colorful.  

No matter what color — may we love.  

“Love the One You’re With” Stephen Stills

May you also never forget that you are always, always with yourself.

May you tune into what presents itself to you through signs, lessons, feelings, connections and a willingness to learn, be and do anew.

Dream

Dream because dreams do come true.    

With our world upended, upside down, knowing upheaval, now is the time when our most creative dreams may happen.

May you open up to your dreams.   

Let them be vivid   Let them be loud.  Let them be far fetched.  Let them vibrate through you and out of you.  Let yourself dream. 

I dream of peace, fulfillment, kindness, openness, love of and respect for ourselves.   And from this, love and respect for all.   

Dream.  Feel it from within.  Invite the magic.

If a dream is meant to become a reality, there is nothing that can stop it from happening.

I hope your living one (or many) of your dreams now.
