Be aware

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Be aware that you are aware. Aware of what you may wonder. You are aware that you are reading this, right? But are you aware of who is aware that you are reading this? Deep stuff right there. 

There is something liberating about the understanding of one’s self. Letting go of life’s noise and tuning into the bliss of “knowing” is exhilarating. Nothing on earth can match the power of wisdom. It’s free, it’s plentiful and it can only be found in humans, who aren’t even aware of their own value. 

Your energy needs to be given to yourself first. Figuring this out is everyone’s mission in order to realize one’s purpose, which is to become aware. <3

Gramma used to say “Less said; easier mended”. I didn’t fully appreciate the words in my youth., but as an adult I saw how valuable the words really were. 

Your words hold a lot of power. They can hurt and they can uplift someone. It takes mega self control to be able to determine in a split second how much you value yourself. How you respond to any situation will show others how much you value your own being. 

I try my very best to leave someone feeling better than before we interacted. It’s not always possible, but my soul finds joy in trying. 

Be as gentle with others as you would want them to be gentle with you. It’s always the best response. <3

You are the problem

0 Comments

It is so easy to deflect from the truth about life’s problems. The truth of the matter is is that you are the root of your problems. 

All decisions for where you are today are because you made that decision, good or bad, and you are now living with the results. No one can be held accountable for a decision you make. Trying to make it any different will only result in more pain for you. 

The beauty about life is that you can change your mind! You CAN do things differently. You can make decisions based on what you want from life. You’ve had the power to do that all along. <3

It takes a lot of self control to not retort to what you may consider to be an insult. If someone is able to push your buttons, you need to search your heart and mind to find out why. 

Recognizing that your reaction to any situation is all about you and nothing to do with them can be humbling. You have to figure out why you are so easily manipulated and work on that part of yourself. 

No one is ever always right. If you are experiencing discomfort where there should be peace, you should reconsider what words you choose to share. It’s okay to have peace and to not be “right” all the time. <3

Things

Things will come and things will go. What I've come to understand about life is that material things have no importance. What holds the most importance in one's life is how we love. I don't mean just another human being, but how we love all "things".

The other day I had the privilege of harvesting veggies from two separate gardens. As I was picking through all the "good" plants, I felt a twinge of sadness for the "bad" plants. They were dried up and tired from producing food all summer. Me, being me, I felt compelled to tell them that I was grateful for what they gave so willingly and freely. Doing that made me feel better to know that they were acknowledged. It was a little gesture on my part that let the universe know I felt gratitude for earth's offerings. 

It cost me nothing to feel gratitude in that moment. It cost me nothing to harvest veggies to donate to an organization that feeds men struggling with a substance use disorder. It is, and always will be, the small things in life that matter. <3

Strength

This too shall pass is one of my favourite sayings because it is the truth. Like any storm nature gives us to weather, it will pass as will our personal storms. 

The important part of getting through our personal storm is to learn the reason the storm came in the first place. If you don’t take the time to discern on your storms, they will inevitably keep repeating until you do figure it out. 

You are stronger than any storm that comes your way. Trust this to be true and your storms will become less and your strength will become more. Believe in yourself because no one else will be able to do this for you. It’s all up to you. <3

Seven Chakras

Unless you walk the path of the dark side, you will notice that all faiths that are in the light teach you to love something bigger than yourself. Call it what you will, but it teaches you to love others as you are to love yourself. 

Love for other beings must start with having love for yourself. If someone has taken that ability from you, please take time now to rebuild this necessary part of your life. 

I am. 
I feel. 
I do. 
I love 
I speak. 
I see. 
I understand. 

You are. <3

Just Be

i am that person who avoids purposely hurting anything that lives because I see life in all things. To needlessly end the life of anything is cringeworthy for me. 

Living in the now helps me keep the fragility of life at the top of my mind. Focusing on the only moment  (now) that will ever take place reminds me to be grateful to be alive in this fascinating world of ours. 

You are the mastermind of your life. You have immense power and energy that awaits your understanding. Live for this moment. Know that love of self and all living things is the key to unlocking a peace like you’ve never known. <3

Goodbyes are necessary

We are not meant to live a life of self-inflicted misery. We get enough of that from others 

If your misery is because you made a poor choice, guess what, you can change your mind. You don’t have to remain in any situation that you don’t want to be in. 

Saying goodbye to misery is the only way to welcome peace. You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to expel toxic people from your life regardless of their relationship to you. You are allowed to have peace. <3

Spiritual Awakening

0 Comments

Read Now
 
In my book “The Sun Neither Rises nor Sets” I use the word soul over 800 times. I also talk about my conversation I had with God, Creator, Universe, Higher Power. Source From All That Is. 

It was clear to my six year old self that I wasn’t alone. The conversation stayed with me my whole life. My memory of that moment is as clear today as the day it happened. I’ve never doubted my experience. 

A spiritual awakening doesn’t happen because of religion. A spiritual awakening is earned because you have faith in something bigger than yourself. Call our God whatever you want, it doesn’t change the fact that wisdom is earned. Look around yourself and you’ll see what I mean. 

​Are you awake? How can you tell? If you are aware that you are aware, then you are awake. <3
