An excerpt from "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen (1903):

"A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And as he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of discovering the hidden powers and possibilities within himself."

Who, what, where, how, why is your happy place? Mine is the mountains. They feel wise to me. Like a place I'd want to spend a good amount of my time.

Everyone needs a visual of a safe place that they can conjure up in times of need. Hold that picture in your mind and count to 10 slowly. What you should accomplish by doing this is to remain in the now. 

Now is all there ever will be. There is no past and there is no future, there is only now, this moment. Trying to live in any other time will only bring unnecessary stress and frustration. 

Find your happy place in your mind and use it often. <3

Declutter your life. 

If you have "clogged" your spiritual channels with stuff that does not serve you, you won't be able to receive what is supposed to be there.

It takes work to free ones self from the junk that shouldn't be taking up space in our life. But it is necessary work and should be done more often than we think. 

The only constant in life is change. Don't be afraid of it. Trust that where you are supposed to be will take place once you have lightened your load. 

What do you need to declutter from your life today? <3

Beauty truly is skin deep. No amount of makeup can hide a soul's ugliness. Not all soul's are good soul's and it shows on the exterior of a being. 

Genuine love of all beings is easily detectable on a soul. There is a lightness, a sense of peace, a knowing that is carried by those who are aware of the truth.

If you are a person who judges by appearance alone, you may want to change that understanding. Take a second glance, because what you think you see many not be exactly true. 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Since you are the beholder of your soul you get to decide its beauty. Make a good decision. <3

You are responsible for you and you only. I know that sounds a bit selfish because we are supposed to be "there" for those we love. But, the truth is, you should love yourself more than you love another being....yes, even your children.

Everyone who comes into your life is borrowed, but you have always been. You must make yourself the priority in order to always be there for you. That is not selfish. That is smart. 

So, when you are being made to feel that you should shine less, don't do that! Shine more. Shine brighter. Keep your essence no matter what is going on. At the end of it all, it will just be you with you, so make sure you have a great relationship that you will have zero regrets about. <3

It feels so good to be at the beginning stages of my favourite season...Spring! 

The feeling of hope hanging in the air. The feeling of anticipation of summer right around the corner. 

I look forward to quiet coffee time on the deck with the sun on my face and the breeze in my hair. Life is good! <3

There have definitely been some harrowing times along the journey of my life. Mostly because I was fearful of the unknown. The fear was borne from mistrust of my higher power. I wanted to be right and ended up being wrong most of the time.

When I let go of the fear and rested in my faith, things got a whole lot easier. I was able to think clearly and make decisions that were thought out. The decisions felt right.

Life doesn't stop testing you when you have faith, in fact, you are given more wisdom to discern. Sometimes you'll have to hang on for dear life as you figure it out and sometimes you'll get to feel the joy of just being. <3

Do this for me. Stop for a moment and listen to what your mind is doing. 

Did you hear it? The voice? If you heard it you are now aware. You are now the observer of the voice in your head. You are not the voice, your ego is the voice. You are not your ego, you are the observer of your ego.

Chances are you typically listen to the voice in your head that is dictating your next moves in life. That voice is for the most part wrong in its decision making. Why? Because the decisions are self-centered and not made for your wholistic self.

When you become aware of this fact, life gets a whole lot simpler. Instead of the voice, you will come to trust your intuitive self emphatically. This takes work and time on your part, but it is so worth it in the long run. <3

All of my life I've had a sense that there was way more to life than meets the eye. It was a niggly feeling, an itch you can't scratch, a nagging feeling like I've forgotten something.

I used to think I was the only one who was feeling this way. It wasn't until I was an adult that I became aware that I was aware that I wasn't alone in my understanding. What a wonderful feeling to discover that I wasn't "off"!

It came as a surprise to me that not everyone is aware. You get the side eye from people who think you are odd because you "know" things. But regardless of their understanding you have to keep growing in yours. It will become  away of life...the knowing. 

If you have questions, reach out to me. I'm more than happy to help you become aware. <3

We have been taught that if you think of yourself first, you are selfish. That isn't true. If you have more than enough of something and you don't share it with others, THAT is considered selfish.

If you drain your vat of personal wellness it means you have nothing to give. So, its crucial that you stay in touch with yourself and keep that vat of personal wellness full. When its full, you can give (help, assist) to others. That's smart thinking and is in no way selfish. 

Calling a time out so you can replenish is necessary. Take the time. Do something that is just for you. And for goodness sake, do not feel guilty about it! <3
