Namaste

Beautiful colors and vibrancy feel like blessings to me.  I am reminded that orange can represent emotional balance, harmony, passion, freedom, intuition, and expression of emotions.  These all can be positive and helpful things as most of us, perhaps with extra depth now, have been and are being touched by the energies that are around us and in us.  Emoting our emotions in healthy ways opens everything we feel into creating the best forward paths possible.  Our feeling and processing of our emotions clears out the old and invites in the new. 

I choose to see this as hope of the vibrancy of our own lives and kindness, compassion and understanding that no two lives experience life or even the same experience exactly the same.  We have been known to experience life through past experiences and current feelings.  We all, right here, right now, have an opportunity to ignite our most loving parts of our own beings and our very own, unique life itself. To pour on and out the goodness; to support the passion of us all living our best life in harmony, balance and love.  Possibilities are present (more than every) to let go of what weighs us down to be able to do just this. 

May you give yourself a moment to see and feel if this rings true for You.  Do you feel different...  Do you feel extra irritable at times...  Do you feel lost..  Do you feel confused...  If yes to any of these, just maybe, you are being 'guided' to live your life from a different place; a different mindset; new avenues that, maybe, you have never or at least for a very long time, lived.  

May we all permit ourselves freedom to harmonize and balance our inside self with our outside surroundings; instinctually and passionately. 

May we all protect our earth, our world, ourselves and each other by letting our own love walk through with mindfulness, gentle strength and wisdom in what we are being asked to live in; today, right now and always. 

Namaste. The divine place and depth within me honors and respects the divine place and depth within you.

Namaste in divine connection.  'Namabea' love for and to the land, water, air, spirit, soul and your inside flame.  That’s how I roll. 

'Namabechillin' in loving truth.  It ain’t always pretty.  It is always raw, freeing and amazing.  Get it.  Send it.  Be it.  Live it.  Share it.  Honor it.  

Exquisite

 There are many 'parts' of me.  There are many 'parts' of You.

I'd like to offer to glance through these words below and grab a hold of a couple [or one or two] and see, feel, process and play with the word(s) and see where it 'lands' (if it lands) within you, about you.

Oh the promise, honor, excitement, magic, unknown, color, flow, building, drawing, inventing, creating, romance, hope, steps, vastness, foresight, insight, poetry, vison, envision, empowering, strength, depth, height, reach, becoming, changing, beauty, reflection, lightness, accumulation, uniqueness, artistry, synergy, energy, wholeness, content, context, vibrancy, interconnectedness and love in, love out, love for, the loving way of You...  the natural way of You..

Past, Present, Future.  There are moments.  There are particulars.  There are lessons.  There are candid and random opportunities within us and around us that balance and make up our life.  It doesn't really matter to put words to what is going on with us.  There really is not a necessity to know verbatim or to fully understand.  Whether we know or not, we experience it anyhow.

So, please if you want to, open yourself up to the experience that is present and let all else go.  If a word above stays with you or resonates strongly, perhaps, there is a reason for it.  Trust your instinct.  Trust what you feel, hear, say, reason about.   

Regardless and, possibly, because of, you doing you; you being you; you living you; you open to you is one of the greatest gifts that you can offer yourself, your loved ones and our world.  

May you let what vibrates within you out; through all the loving ways of You.  Oh the splendor of You is exquisite.   

May you let your exquisiteness ‘paint’ your life’.   

Mini-Vacation Time

Mini-Vacation Time.  !! 

Once upon a time, I volunteered for 'Hospice'.  There were necessary classes that were given to volunteers to support us in doing our best for the patients and the patient's families.

One of the classes was meditation, visualization, imagining, letting go of stress, changing the course of what is being experienced at a moment's notice through (what I will call) mind alteration, naturally.  We were talked through a visualization and the instructor called it a mini-vacation.  I thought who wouldn't like a mini-vacation from time to time.  I sure loved the idea for myself.  

There is something loving, empowering, uplifting and 'feel good' about taking a mini-vacation in our mind anytime we want to.  

One doesn't have to be dying or sick to benefit from a 'mini-vacation'.

We all can benefit from a break out of our daily routine and necessary schedules.

May I offer you to give yourself  mini-vacations from time to time, whenever you want to or feel the need to or 'just because'.

May you give yourself permission to take a break. 

Breathe in...  Breathe out...  Relax your shoulders...  Let go of any and all tension; from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.  Feel the chair/floor/bed/ground underneath you and let it support your weight fully as you sink into it. 

Think a happy thought... 

Imagine a happy place for you...  and picture and feel yourself there.  

Remember a happy moment.  Remember how it made you feel.  

Dream about something you enjoy or think you might enjoy doing.  Imagine yourself doing it.  This is your imagination.  It can be anything at all.  You can be really awesome at it.  This is a no limit dream and imagination.  Go for it.  

Breathe in...  Breathe out...  Relax your whole body.  Imagine beautiful, healthy blood flowing throughout your whole body - organs, bones, muscles, tissue, cells.  Imagine your whole body happy and healthy... feeling good...  empowered and loved. 

Chill.    Hang loose   Get your cool self on.   Be whatever, however, whoever, wherever you want to be.  For just now...  Just Be...

and, 

When you are ready, carry on.

Oh Boy

“The Ballad of Oh Boy”

As I'm thinking about and creating this post, the background noise in my head is the song "The Ballad of Boy" by Allan Sherman.  What a hoot that song is.  I was under the age of 10 and I'd be spinning around, jumping up and down, laughing, dancing and having a good old time to it.  ...

Oh boy. Oh Boy.  Oh BOY.

Oh boy. Oh Boy.  Oh BOY!!

It is how I see, look and think about what is in front of me that creates my experience of same.   

It is how You see, look and think about what is in front of You that creates Your experience of same.   

Any which way, if we are going to get there, we get there no matter the experience of how.  And, I have heard it said that it is the journey of life; the journey of our total experiences; and the journey of getting to, interacting and reacting to each situation that matters most and creates our reality.  Goals are great.  They give us good feelings of accomplishment, success, closure, joy, etc.  

However, the journey of reaching (and sometimes not reaching) our goals is where we spend most of our time.

So to see, look and think about the positive, upbeat, exciting, joy, strength and love within you by way of incorporating and reaching a goal with an 'I can' or 'oh boy this is going to be good' attitude is way more fun to me.  

Therefore, in this way of experiencing your journeys, I wish you as much ‘fun’ as possible.    

In the situations, goals and journeys that are a bit harder to enter into through the upbeat attitude, perhaps, we can still choose to enter into them with a truthful, loving, raw attitude believing that as it turns out will be the best for developing the best of me; for me living me; with me being me.  'This is my life and I have me, God has me, and what happens is meant to happen.

I am okay above it, below it, walking next to it, experiencing it.  Even when the 'it' is not what I would choose, I am still okay.  I'm handling it. I will handle it. I got it.  I am learning and growing.  I am open to the best of me walking me through it and becoming.  It all brings me home to me.  

May you open to the joyful side of you in as many experiences, situations, relationships and thoughts as possible.  It is 'just life'.  The way you speak, the tone you put to it and the feeling you enter into every time you could/would say 'oh boy' -- may you be aware and put your spin of awesome in it.

I believe in You.  Oh Boy!!!  Do I!!!

Living Love

December.  We are here, now, in December.  We are in the 12th month of this oh so very different, challenging, changing year of 2020.

I want to say how proud I am that you have made it.  I am sorry for any and all things that may have made you feel like you would/could not.  I am so very proud of you for coming so far.

It is time, now more than ever perhaps, to let your love grow.  Let your love evolve.  Let your love walk through the door into your own heart.  Let your love walk through every door, into every door, past every door and creating new doors for you to realize.

Let your love, your truth, your experience and your desires walk you forward through this last month and into 2021.  

It just may be that what we have been experiencing as a whole world doesn't change on New Year's Day.   What can change is your desire, awareness, openness, gentle strength and truth through a new found and louder, deeper love.  Your newfound, louder and deeper love.  Love of self.  Love for life.  Love for the little things that touch you in a big way.  

May you open up to what is inside of you to be; do; live.  &  Be/Do/Live it... from love; for love; with love; through love.  Let love.  

LOVE.  BE IT. DO IT. LIVE IT.  

Harmonize and Align

Change.   Oh, we all know it.  I guess the older that I am, the more change I have known and encounter.

I remember when telephone answering machines came out.  I was so happy with the 'find'.  My mother-in-law didn't want anything to do with it.  

Now, as I am closer to my mother-in-law's age when that happened, I realize the resistance to the unknown.  There is no way no how I can keep up with all the inventions, change, 'digitalry' and wireless options that are available to us.  Even the inventors and companies that professionally work with these concepts and inventions cannot seem to keep up with the totality of growth and the change(s).

So much is great.  I sometimes miss the simplicity.  And sometimes I am happy dancing with the availability to tell a 'machine' to record and/or keep track of things for me; to tell me about things I have interest in.

So, I say pick and choose what is important to you.  Do what makes your life easier, perhaps, more exciting.  Disregard what you have no interest in today.  Who knows how you will feel tomorrow and it is okay.

May you be grounded deep within your current [hopefully, self-loving] state.   May you be open and flexible; accepting and kind to yourself and with yourself.  As you have access, availability and desire -- explore, adventure, reach, learn and grow through the vastness of what is right there in front of and within you.  Harmonize and align who You are with our world to the best of your ability; again and again and again.

May you harmonize and align who you are and what you are about with the world you internally, externally and eternally optimistically envision.

Merry Meet

Life.

There is much potential for me to want to fight what is.  There is some potential for me to want to change much of what I see.  There is potential for me to want to change things I am experiencing.

Fighting 'what is' just may be the longest way - this feels true for me anyway - to bring forth change.

Opening to the experience, the relationship, the moment, the matter and being and bringing myself, my truth, my love, everything I know and do not know, everything I am and I am not with me into it all, is the best, quickest, most loving and empowering for all.  It is especially so if all participants come from the same openness of who and what they are [with loving truth], it can create the best possibilities and open up the magic, ease and most enjoyable paths of each of our lives and each of us living.

May you meet yourself where you are at.   May you meet your life from where you are.  May you bring your true loving self in and through the truth of your life.   Trust the process.   Trust yourself.   Open to peace in any chaos.   Bring your awareness into each moment and invite your own love to lead you.   

It is what I am choosing to call a 'merry meet'.

May we all merry meet.   

Perhaps, all of this -- being peace in the chaos and bringing your truth into everything you experience -- is fulfillment.  And, if this is a great way to fulfillment, may you fill yourself up.
