A New Day

The promise of a new day.

May You be aware of your thoughts when you wake up in the morning. Are you happy to do so... Would you rather stay in bed... Are you thinking it is going to be an easy and/or good day... Are you thinking it is going to be a rough and/or bad day... Are you thinking anything at all...

May You be open minded and open hearted whenever You think about what will be coming at You And what is showing up for You; to You; with You; as You; through You. May you stay aware and thoughtful of what you are allowing and creating yourself to feel and experience. Open up to the wonderful possibilities that can grow out of this day and into your life and from your beingness into reality.

There are many new things every day every where. We are bombarded with change, the unknown, the anew, the uncomfortable, and new rules, regulations, and fears. We are being forced to see, do, be, think in ways that we are not yet comfortable with and some things that we are not sure if we ever will be comfortable with.

To stay in your truth and your own love through it all is one of the best ways to grow. The only way through is through.

As we do more and more repetitions, lessons, growth and feel the abundance coming out of all of these new ways; the possibilities that can come out of the darkness; the light that flames our fire of life, us living and our love, WOW - endless possibilities and extreme awesomeness awaits for us to step through and into the depth of ourselves and meet one another at this depth; this innate knowing and true essence of each of us.

We will surface, each one of us, at the exact and right divine time to live the lives that we all are here to live; individually, together. Awesome and Brilliance awaits You; is You.

And, as we journey into this New Earth and New Life and New Way(s) of Living, may You walk through your life knowing You can always choose love; your own love. 'Orange' You glad You are LOVE(d)...

Tree Art

I was out walking the dog one day and I came across this beautiful tree just planted there with an elegance and a beauty unlike any other tree on the street. Its dark brown silky looking and feeling bark intrigued me and engaged me. It had a soft peel going on and its unique branches looked fine in the space it just naturally sat in.

I heard myself call it 'Tree Art'...and a picture is below for your viewing pleasure; if you so feel it. I put my back up against it and felt its energy - its aliveness. #treehugger

If you find yourself missing out on hugs, perhaps, hug a tree. They are known to increase the ‘happy hormones’ and they create the cleanest air to breathe! Thank you trees!

The calm, peace, love and enjoyment you find from or within anything that crosses your path offers you health benefits. Whatever it is, whatever offers this to You, whatever makes you feel good from connecting with it from your inside out, be grateful for it. And, thank yourself for noticing, being aware and allowing what surrounds you to lift You Up.

Wishing You joyful play.

May you open your heart, mind, soul, spirit and being to what is joyful play to You.

Wow YOUrself

Sunrise. Sunset.

North. South. East. West.

Vertical. Horizontal.

Longitude. Latitude.

Summer. Fall. Winter. Spring.

Birth. Death.

Favorite Moments. Moments. Not so fun moments.

Happy. Sad.

Open. Closed.

Expansion. Contraction.

All of these things are a part of each of us. We all are human. These are all human things and moments and there is so very many possibilities in between and during these things and moments.

The experience(s) is(are) present. The experience(s) is(are) happening. The experience is in each of us.

We choose the experience of our human being, doing, experiencing.

May you own your experiences, your choices, your now, your moments, your things. Own who you really are, what you are feeling and the infinite truth of both. In knowing that you can choose and that you experience these things as they come to you through everything that is You, may you open up to the awareness and let go of the blindness which is also in (y)our choosing.

May You open up to your WOW. !! You so have it. It is in your acceptance of your truth and walking through this truth with your love level turned on Wow.

Comfort

A cloak, a blanket, comfort... grab onto it, use it and share.

Most of us like to know comfort and relaxation. We like to feel safe and cozy.

I want the world to be like this for us all. I do believe our world is more loving than not. I believe people are more caring and want to help one another than not.

It is said that hurt people hurt people. I'd like to add healing people heal people. People that feel loved love people. Happy people live through their happy.

It all becomes what we look for. It all is what we experience. It changes as we change.

Just maybe, we are all blanketed by a universal energy of goodness.

May we believe in our own empowering power of divine life and living. Never forget that it is in You as live as such.

Your kindness and goodness lifts up everything it touches including You.

Rise

We are all living now, at this time; individually, together. Our minds, body, spirits and soul; each unique. Ever changing. Ever exchanging.

When we can live and flow with our hearts, mind and soul working together, we can feel what it is like to live the truest of ourselves. It can feel like heaven on earth.

When we live in, through and with our truth with love being what fuels us and permit life to flow through us - our best of self flows with it.

The energy of our vibration, vulnerability and innate essence is what feels the best and lifts me the highest.

May you let your vibration, vulnerability and innate essence lift you high.

You are so enough. You are magic. You matter with every beat of your heart. You are unique and as beautiful as the sky.

May you let your heart, mind and spirit flow as one. Soar.

Sometimes like a rocket. Sometimes like a roller coaster.. Rise.

Cherish

This is it... You are living life right now. Your life is happening.

Memories are being made. Feelings are being felt. Thoughts are flowing through. Relationships are being had. Things are getting done. Creations are being made. Opportunities are being discovered. Just 'being' can be a gift to one's self.

Senses are being used, optimized and, maybe, even left out or heightened or dampened.

The experience that is happening is life.

What if, for just a day, notice, be aware, participate and let go of any kind of judgment and just 'let it be'.

Whatever presents itself. Whatever life shows you. Whatever you bring into life. Let You Happen.

It is said awareness comes first.

May you open up to the full awareness of how you are participating, creating and living in your life.

May you be open, true and aware that you are living your life in this moment just now.

And, if/when you feel inclined/ready, may you realize what You truly cherish about your life and focus on that going forward.

Moment in Time

A moment in time... They are everywhere. May You let yourself be immersed in them.

As you go about your day, your week, your month, you are living your life. You are, moment to moment, experiencing life through your senses, thoughts, energy and essence. Moment to moment is available to us all.

We can get very caught up into whole experiences, past experiences, future experiences when, in reality, we can only live all of this in our mind and thoughts. These cannot be lived through our presence and in this time; in reality or the now.

When you find yourself getting or feeling overwhelmed, lost and/or confused, perhaps, ask yourself what is my goal in this very moment. Do that. Experience that. Be in that.

It can be as simple as taking a breath. It can be feeling the warm clothes as you fold them as they just came out of the dryer. It can be brushing your teeth. It can be feeling challenged to complete something. To be fully aware in the moment is to live your life fully.

To experience, feel, be true, be open and to let love are the moments and the how I want to experience each moment; as much and as often as possible.

May You be fully present as to make each moment’s presence a full and fulfilling present to your senses.

Participate with what is in front of You now. Look. See. Feel. Touch. Smell. Hear. Engage.

This, right here-right now, is the only moment that we can fully experience. Everything else is in our head.

My Past Story

The first thing I would always tell a new doctor was 'my dad left me when I was 10'. He just disappeared, ran away. It was pretty awful for me. I thought it was my fault as most kids sometimes do. I thought I was unlovable. Years later, 20 maybe, I realized it wasn't just that my dad left me that affected my life, but also that my mom stayed. She stayed and I'll be forever grateful. However, her staying wasn't all peaches and creme. She was so hurt, so distraught, so frightened to raise three kids on her own and find a job that it was very hard for her to be there for me and my needs. I chose to shutdown, be quiet and try not to make it any harder on her as to not ask for much, or voice much, or need much.

Years later, in 11/12th grade, I noticed my fingers being really cold and hurting all the time. I noticed them turning purple and the pain was very 'loud'. Humorously enough, I had chosen to be a secretary and typing was a big part of my everyday. I loved it even. Fingers flying across the keyboard with as little mistakes as possible was the goal. I was pretty good at it. While in typing class, I remember putting my hands on my neck to try to warm them and make them feel better. I was naive enough then to think this must be happening to everyone.

Anyway, years went by and nobody was able to tell me why this was happening or what to do to make it better. Then, approximately 4 years later, I remember (what I felt) was little me sitting across from a really big doctor at his really big desk and him telling me I was allergic to myself. Of course, this was him describing to me what auto-immune meant. I had a disease called scleroderma and it could kill me (sometimes in as little as five years) and I would most likely be on medicine and have it for the rest of my life and there was nothing to change it.

Anyway, almost 30 years later, I've had my share of pain and I'm alive. I've had ulcerations on my fingers and I have lost most of my nails on both hands from lack of circulation and producing too much collagen. My hands are somewhat not a pretty sight and to hit something with one of my fingers by accident (well, I refer to the feeling as 'going to the moon).

When I was about 30, I started looking at alternative medicine and I tried anything that came across my path to try to stop the pain. I have tried many normal and not so normal 'ideas'. I sometimes do not believe at what lengths I went to try to ease my pain and suffering!

This is what has brought me here to this point in my life.

I'm grateful to be able to learn so much about myself and life and I wouldn't take it back (well, some days I might want to).

Something was telling me to blog. I really didn't know much about blogging - I am still a novice at best. Approximately 5 weeks ago, I sat at my computer and started typing.

I am surprised at where my blogs have led me. I thought I was trying to help others and that still is a big goal of mine. However, what I am finding out is that this is a great outlet for me.

A way to feel like I'm doing something. I told a friend this morning about my blog and I said that it's draining because I put everything out there and do not hold back as I post each individual blog; its fun because it does give me an outlet and I feel a little purpose in my life; and it's scary because I don't want anyone laughing at me or telling me that I am completely 'off my rocker'!
