Beggars Can't Be Choosers

Today, while out running errands, I decided to go to McDonald's and get something to eat. I normally don't eat at McDonald's but I was hungry. I had a scan this morning and could not eat anything for hours before. I just wanted to go home but I was hungry.

As I walked into McDonald's, this woman asked me if I would help her get lunch. She said she was homeless and had not eaten. I wasn't sure I was going to order anything so I told her to wait a moment while I decided. I decided I would eat something and told her I would buy her a sandwich. If you can help someone, do it. I wasn't going to give her money, I was going to buy her something. So I asked her which sandwich she wanted and she said, "No I want Kentucky Fried Chicken across the street. Come, let's go there. It is right over there". I was taken aback. I was offering to buy her a meal and she wants something else? Since when do beggars become choosers. I said, " I am not going to KFC. I am here and will buy you something to eat if you want it, what would you like?" She said, " I really want Kentucky Fried Chicken". I walked up to the counter and placed my order not buying her anything. No telling how many people had offered to buy her something, but she was insisting on something else.

Why wasn't she at KFC asking someone to buy her something there rather than asking at McDonald's is beyond me.

Point is........ If you can help someone, do it.

Always offer generosity. It will give you a sense of peace and a great feeling. I felt great about offering her a meal, despite her ungratefulness.

Always come from your heart. You never know when you will be the one in need. If you need a smile, give one. If you need a hug, give one. It goes around and comes back to you.

Do something nice for someone, anyone today. See how great it makes you feel.

Have YOU Looked in The Mirror Lately.

Now that the holidays are over (at least for the next 3 weeks any ways) it is time to begin reflecting who you are. The beginning of the next chapter begins now.

If you haven't seen The Blind Side, go see it. It is heartwarming and very inspirational. At one point in the movie when everyone is doubting him and his capabilities, Big Mike, looks in the mirror and said this is not Mike Ohre. He came from nothing and created a whole new life. He saw that the person in the mirror was not who he was creating and did something about it. There is so much I could say about this movie, but I would rather you go see it.

You are the only one who can create who you are and what better time than starting to look at who you are creating yourself to be and who you are currently being. You are the creation of your choice. If something is not going the way you want in life, only you have the choice to alter it.

Treat yourself to something. Go see The Blind Side. You will be inspired that Anything is possible. Including you!

Upset is Only A State of Being

There is nothing nothing nothing worth being that upset over. We cry, we add drama, we throw a fit, why?

So what, things don't go our way. It is life. The more energy you give to something the more energy there is around it. So if you are upset, and are feeding that fire fuel, then it will continue to grow. Life happens and move on.

I mean think about it, we all have things happen, some big, some small, but nothing is worth the energy of being that upset.

YOU have a choice in life. When things go great it is easy. When things don't go great, you don't necessarily have a choice in the things that happen, but you do always have a choice in how you react.

Fine, get upset. But you have a choice to stay there. In a matter of moments, you can alter your whole perspective on life!

Upset can soon be a thing of the past. We have all had moments where things have happened and we have been powerful, strong and fearless. We have also had moments where things have happened where we have broken down. One we just didn't let it effect us, the other we did.

You have the remote control of your life. If you don't like the movie, change the channel.

Practice being upset free and see what happens.........

Until tomorrow.........happy thoughts and dreams of dolphins

Bribery, Brownies and the Power of Intent

Ok so bribery is not necessarily a bad thing. I am in the south (Alabama) visiting my family. Today is the big Alabama and Auburn game, which is the big rivalry. In the south, the South Eastern Conference aka college football is the big thing and this game is no exception. In fact, this is THE biggest game in Alabama. All the stores (even Wal-Mart) close for the game, as do the local restaurants.

I am NOT a football fan at all. Even though I was a cheerleader in high school. But that was a long time ago, when I was in the south. Football is not in my vocabulary.

However, it is in my family's vocabulary. They are decked out in their Alabama red's and grays and ready to whoop it up. I come along for the ride and usually write or do Christmas shopping online or something else to entertain myself. Last year, My family wanted my intention. Knowing I can make things happen by moving energy, they wanted me to hold my hands up so the team would score. Sure enough, every time I held my hands up, either Alabama would score or Auburn would fumble. I was doing so well, my Aunt made brownies for me at half-time. They talked about all year how I won the game with my 'mojo'.

This year, game on again. They talked about my 'mojo' and how I needed to help win the game. Well for me to watch a game is a big deal. So I said, If brownies were involved, I could work something out. So last night, the night before the big day, my stepmother called and asked my cousin if she needed to get some stuff for brownies and my cousin said, it had already been taken care of. Thinking ahead. Very good. I come in and my aunt says there is a whole tray of brownies and you don't have to share!!!!!!!!!! SCORE!

So as the game went on, Auburn led 14-0. NOT GOOD. I tried to put my 'mojo' on and it was going in the wrong direction. I got up and ate one of my brownies and wham, Alabama scored. I held my hands up and they scored again. Tied at half-time 14-14. Second half, Auburn scored again. I was tired. I wanted to take a nap but they insisted they needed my 'mojo'. So I ate 1/2 of a brownie and Alabama scored a field goal and were now behind by 1. There was 2 minutes left in the game and Alabama was still behind by 1. My step mother and my aunt said, Hurry Eat some chocolate. I don't remember when the last time i had to be "forced" to eat chocolate, but OK. I ate the brownie and low and behold Alabama won the game in the last minute and half. Magic Brownies.

While there may be superstitions, the power of intent is very powerful. Ok, so we won a silly football game. If you can do that with the power of your mind. What else can you create?

Hey, I am 2 for 2 as far as my football winnings. I am willing to bet, on Alabama/Auburn day next year, a tray of brownies will be waiting and the family will expect the 'mojo' to run. At the end of the day, I got brownies and I was happy and they won the game and they were happy. Boom. All is well in the South (except for Auburn fans).

Remember, Power of thought and intention is a good thing, and if that doesn't work, bribery is a good thing!

The Day of Gratitude

Happy Thanksgiving.!!!

Today is a perfect day to reflect and look at what and who you are grateful for. I know I have been mentioning gratitude lately but really it is a time of gratitude for life. We have so much to be grateful for even in the midst of all our circumstances. Gratitude can include but is not limited to, health, sense of humor, a good meal, family, friends, loved ones here and past.

Today when I was making my daily gratitude list, I said things I had not said before. I was grateful for my sense of humor. So much is happening around me, including my recovery, that a good sense of humor is a good thing. I said I was grateful for spending time with my family. I take for granted the time I get to spend with them. I am grateful for my creativity because I am always creating things around me. These are not normally things I would have said I was grateful for but today seemed appropriate.

Take time to list everything big and small, obvious and hidden, the things you are grateful for. Even for the people who annoy you, look at what you can be grateful for with them.

I wish each of you a Happy Holiday and I am grateful for you! You give me the opportunity to spread light.

Love and light and lots of it.....................

Time Has Escaped Once Again

There are so many things that happen in life. Life flies by. It happens so fast. Think about puppies growing fast or your teen years or what you did 6 months ago.

Yesterday, I was in my 20's and living life fancy free and today I am about to be 40, living and taking on a much bigger adventure. Where did the time go? Pay attention to the little details that life offers you. You don't know how much you will appreciate it later.

Zoe, my beautiful angel/alien kitty, is 11. It doesn't seem like she has been with me 11 years, but she has. WOW. Where did that time go. I was 28 when i got her.

My sister, will be 24 in a few weeks. She was 13 when I got Zoe. Where did that time go?

They say time flies when you are having fun. But I hate to say it, whether you are having fun or not, time still flies. Live today with no fears, no regrets, no worries. Live each day and each moment for that matter, in the moment. That is when life happens and gets exciting. Now. Not yesterday, it has already gone, not tomorrow, it hasn't happened yet. But now.

Take time to look at your accomplishments and see how you have grown as a human. Don't wait another 10 years to live your live. Live Life Now. You have a lot to be grateful for.

Tomorrow (or today depending on when you are reading this) is Thanksgiving. A time to be and express gratitude for those things and people in life that are important to you. Look at the things and people in life that you can see contributed in who you are today. Send out a universal Thank you.

Live life. Be full. Don't let something slip through your fingers. There is so much life left to love. The game begins now..............

Gratitude With Attitude

Gratitude is everything. Gratitude will bring you the greatest joy. The more you are grateful, the more the universe will give you to be grateful for. The more that what the universe gave you has you be grateful for, then once again the universe will give you even more to be grateful for. And so on and so forth.

The bigger you play, the bigger the universe plays back.

Every day, make a list of what you are grateful for. You will see even the simple things in life are to be grateful for. Look at that list and really express the gratitude for the things on that list. The people, the places, the friends and family, the situations, the health, the music, the art. Everything. Nothing left out.

Don't think about the things that you don't have, are worried about or feel bad about. Focus only on what you are grateful for. The other things will disappear and you will be left with gratitude. Gratitude is not something to ignore. It will get you farther and raise your vibration.

The more gratitude, the more attitude............ :) But in a good way.

Go ye forth and be grateful.

Life Is What You Make Of It

Life is only as great as you are willing to have it be!!!!!!How great are you willing to have it?

Yes, it is up to you. Yes, it is your call on having a great life. It doesn't matter what cereal you eat, what toys you have, where you live or how you do your hair. It matters what you create. Life is like a blank canvas with a pallet full of colors. I am giving you the brushes to paint it however you like. Yes, you can go out of the lines. In fact, I want you to color outside the lines. No Limits for you!

You get to paint, color and design your life every moment. Have it be rich, and luscious and full of beauty. Or have it be colorful and full of adventure. There is no limits in the blank canvas. Your life is as full as you paint it.

Bold and daring, or soft and make. You are the painter and designer of having a life you love.

No one else is coming.

So, how great are you willing to have it??????????

Go forth and be limitless!!!

Words from the Wise Ones.

I was thinking of what I wanted to say today. There is so much happening around the planet and apparently last night was a huge astrological shift. I am exhausted today. They must have done a lot of work on me.

I have been focusing on creating yourself, moving forward, letting go of the past alot lately. I think that is important as we are evolving. Rapidly.

As many of you know, I am going to swim with the dolphins in Bimini over New Year's. I love the dolphin consciousness.

A friend sent this to me today and I thought this was the perfect example living for the joy of life and the perfect thing for tonight's blog. Even Zoe liked it. She sat mesmerized. I played other you-tube videos for her and she watched them. That is another blog.

Words from the wise........

Enjoy! This says it all.

Wisdom of the Ages

Ancient Wisdom-
When you are tired - rest
When you are hungry -eat
When you are thirsty - shower
When you are dirty-shower
When you are sad-cry
When you are happy -laugh
When you are ready- learn........

If only life were that simple...........

Short food for thought.......
Next Entree tomorrow.........

When You Are Nervous, Focus on Service.

Being of service is the best gift you can give yourself, and others. When you give of yourself to have someone else's life be better, it is the most rewarding thing. You have the experience of being fulfilled. When you are fulfilled, your heart fills up.

What if your life was about making a difference? Each and every moment and conversation was about making a difference, whether it was the person at Starbucks or your family or best friend, or someone you don't even know. When you take the attention off yourself, your life flourishes. (And so does theirs)

When you can truly be for another's success and fulfillment, you will have the success and fulfillment you desire.

When things are going rough, focus on service of others.

When I had my surgery, especially when I found out I had to have surgery, it was so important for me to provide something for others. It got the focus off my fear, worry and enabled me to make a difference for others.

This does not mean be a wallflower and let people walk over you but to know that you are here, to bring light and love.

Remember, your smile can go along way. Take it upon yourself to brighten someone else's day. You are the light of the world!!!!!

Daily Percentage of what?????????

How much is the daily percentage? I mean, if you look at a label of something and it says for example 20% of your daily requirement, 20% of what?

So I had a Snapple today and it said 30% of daily requirement of Vitamin C. So if I drink 3.5 Snapple's does that mean I fulfill my daily percentage of Vitamin C? Makes sense to me.

So if that is the case, you could go crazy trying to get the right amount of the right things. 10% here. 50% here. Less than 1% here. You are either going to eat a lot, be frustrated or something.

If you tried to reach 100% of your daily requirement for each one, it will be a massive thought process. Ok so I had 30% Vitamin D, 50% Calcium and 10% Iron. Now you do the math.......... You have to have 2 1/2 more of that product for Vitamin D, 1 more for Calcium and 9 more for Vitamin C!!!!!!!! Crazy Making........

Something to think about...................... :)

Love Is everything............

What's love got to do with it? Everything. Your heart is the running the show. You think you are running with your mind but your heart is the real light. If you can live every moment from your heart your life will be full of harmony.

That requires, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion and love. All for your self and others. Easier to forgive others than yourself.

But if you can truly live, love, give, from your heart. Life will alter in ways un-imaginable.

With all the shifts happening and the energy of 2012 fastly approaching, it is more important than ever to live and love from your heart. Your vibration raises when you are singing a heart song.

Use rose quartz, meditation, and any method you can so that you can release pain, grief and sadness from your heart and start living your heart.

Let your love flow......... like a mountain breeze let your love flow........ All you need is love..........Love is all you need...........You're in my heart your in my soul............. Turn on your heart light.......... Love Love Me do.......... You fill my heart with a song............ and all those other lovey heart songs..........

Let your light shine.........starting with your heart......

Joy Shines Bright in Your Heart Tonight

Where is your joy? Is it under your bed? or on your couch? or over the county line?

No your joy is within you. There is a song I just remembered from when I went to vacation bible school in the 70's yes, ions ago. The song goes, "I got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy down, in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart. I got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy down in my heart to stay". Except I always thought it said TUESDAY. I wondered why only Tuesday's you had joy and the rest of the days you didn't. I looked forward to Tuesdays.

Anyways, Joy lives with in. Look for the little things in life and look for the joy. You will never find it with out looking inside. Even if you are in the moment of despair, sad, depressed, etc. Joy always lives within you.

Today I was upset about something and Zoe came and got in my lap. Funny how kitties know to bring joy when we can't see it. I remembered, I create everything in my life. Nothing happens to me. Joy lives within. No one can take it away and no one can keep you from it. You have the joy down in your heart...........to stay.

Would You Like a Side of Laughter With That?

Laughter is the best medicine. It is. It taste better than cough syrup too.

Laugh. Laugh. Laugh. Do things that bring laughter. Watch old movies, watch puppies and kittens playing, sing a silly song. Laughter raises your vibration and then magic starts happening. The more you laugh, the happier you get, the happier you get, the more life happens.

The holidays can be a tiring time for people. Make time to do things that are fun and bring laughter and joy. The holidays can also be a great time to laugh and to reminisce.

Some of my personal laughter favorites: watching Ellen, Watching silly movies, playing with Zoe, Being Silly with my friends.

There is no wrong way to laugh. Take time each day to laugh, for 5 seconds or 5 minutes. You will be happy you did.

Practice Makes World Peace

There are messages everywhere. This came on my phone the other day. Not on email, not as a text but on the screen of my phone. "Only speak, think, write positive thoughts about your finances". Hmmm. The more I thought about it the more it made perfect sense. If you are ONLY thinking, speaking and writing positive thoughts about your finances, then that is what can come about.

What if you took that premise with your health, career, love, anything. If you practice this, life can only alter right?

It is easier said than done. It takes enormous practice and rigor because our human minds will do the exact opposite any chance it gets. Have a game of it. Notice when you are thinking anything but positive thoughts and put a penny (or any amount you wish) in a jar. Soon you will be able to treat yourself to something. We actually have that many negative thoughts a day. Even the most positive people do. It is rigor and training yourself every chance you get.

Anytime your thoughts are not positive, thank them for sharing and create new thoughts and move on. It is about awakening your higher self, and bring more awareness to your thoughts and your life.

Now, if we can only get the other 6.5 billion people on the planet to do so, we would have world peace. 1 down, 6.4,999,999,999 to go!!!!!!

Game on...... Spread the light....

Egypt Everywhere

Egypt is all around me. Maybe it is my upcoming trip in April. Isis, Sekhmet, Thoth, Ra, Bastet, they are all coming in alot lately. This is a good thing. I know with the energy of the planet rising, the Atlantean and Egyptian energy is palpable. Egypt will be at it's highest energy in 3500 years next year. The most powerful and palpable energy there is. I don't know why I have been thinking of it lately so much but it has been on my mind.

Tonight, I was even gifted a Sekhmet statue. It is so beautiful. Sekhmet is the goddess of power, strength. She is represented by a lioness head. When we spent time in the secluded and away from the tourist area, Temple of Sekhmet, I could feel her energy swooshing around. In some of my pictures it looks like she is talking. Isis is my right hand guide, always has been, but I have a special bond with Sekhmet.

If you know nothing about the Egyptian goddesses and gods, they are powerful and healing deities. I love their energy.

I love the energy of the whole area. You know, the ancient Egyptians had the highest natural knowledge and what they practiced led them fruitful lives. Those teachings are resurfacing. I find them empowering, engaging and enlightening. Not to mention, very simple.

It is one of the most sacred places you will ever visit.

Don't know why i felt like sharing about Egypt today except it is so on my mind. I think I will do a series of teachings on here from Ancient Egyptology.

Hmmmm

Why Not?

Anyways, off to dream land.........

BTW, if you want to experience Egypt first hand, Come with me in April. It will be a trip you will not forget.

Things aren't what they seem

Things definitely aren't the way they seem. Sometimes I feel like I am in another world. I feel like I am surrounded by aliens and everything does not fit the "paradigm" that we think (I think) it should be.

For example, I have a cat, Zoe, who lets me live with her. She is clearly the housemaster and I am her staff. Even though I pay the bills. She is a cat. She purrs. She eats food. She lets me pet her and all the stuff you expect a cat to do. Sometimes she acts like a cat and it is clear to me she is a cat. She begs for chicken. She nuzzles and snuggles (on her terms of course) and she finds new toys to play with (her most recent, my medicine).

Other times, I think she is from another planet. She knows where to walk to avoid stepping on my incision from my recent surgery. She looks at me and sometimes her eyes change colors and I swear she turns in to the goddess Bastet. (Bast). She also likes to help me teach classes and loves doing chakra work. She is a healer and she understands words. She has a way of looking at you so that something so esoteric suddenly makes so much sense.

But today, it was something I have never seen from a cat. I was standing in the kitchen and she wanted to jump in my arms like a dog would when it is happy to see it's owner. Her tail twitched, she meowed and I could see the determination. She wanted me to hold her but didn't want me to lean down and pick her up. She was actually wanting to jump. She put her paws on my legs and stretched as much as she could, and gave a little jump so I would pick her up. When I did, she purred and purred. She positioned herself like a baby and wouldn't let me put her down. I wonder if she knew that I wasn't supposed to bend down and pick her up.

So once again, my kitty from outer space does something so out of the realm of cat stuff that I am amazed. This super kitty, knows her place. She may be the housemaster, but she knows it is her job to heal, and make her mom (me) happy.

So next time you wonder why something is the way it is, Remember, thing's are only an illusion inside of what we think it should be and the way it should be. There are always other options and possibility's. Whether you are talking about my cat or your finances or your job or your life, it is an illusion and anything else is possible.

If you get things aren't the way they seem, then anything else is possible. (Like my cat thinking she is a dog) Hey...... whatever works.

Living: Playing: Creating:

Yay, another day has come and gone. That is life folks. Another day will come and go unless you do something , take some action and create something in fulfilling your heart's desire. (the day will still come and go regardless but at least you will have something to show for it rather than being a couch potato -which I have proudly become since my surgery- or live by default).

Remember if you are not creating something, you are living by default. Having had a few bouts of melanoma, I have come very clear to LIVE LIFE NOW. It is time now to follow your dreams, live life now, make life happen and create yourself.

I went to my follow up today and both the surgeon and my oncologist were thrilled with my progress. Even though I am resting and doing things here and there, they were amazed at exactly how much I am doing and creating in this time of recovery.

Don't dwell on what isn't working, dwell on what you are creating. What is important to you and the difference you want to make. If you dwell on what isn't working in your life, you will only create more energy around that.

Life is now. Not tomorrow. Not in two years or when you retire, but now. No better time than the present and no better present than right now.

Go for it..........Throw the ball through the hoop and play full out.

The eyes are watching...............

The Fire Alam Works and I had clean Pajamas.

Ok so you remember when you were little and your mother said, always where clean underwear, you never know when you will be caught.

Well, it finally happened. I was cooking spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner tonight. YUM YUM. I forgot about the bread for a moment, but it didn't burn. In fact there was absolutely no smoke, no sign of burning, nothing. It was just nice and toasty with a little brown around the edges.

I took it out and the next thing I know, BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP went the fire alarm. I opened the kitchen window and turned on the fan. Then I went to the front door and I opened the door and was swooshing out the invisible smoke with the oven mitt.

I am standing in my pajama bottoms, (with Kitty cats on them, a recovery gift from my step mother) a Hard Rock- t shirt and tousled hair as I had woken up from a nap about a half hour earlier. It was perfect for an evening at home, but not to entertain guests.

I thought the smoke detector would stop when I started swooshing but it only got louder. Good thing to know it works. But it woke up my whole building.

First the neighbors across the hall opened their door. Nope, I am fine, just made garlic bread. (Of course they wanted to know if the garlic bread was ok) Then the neighbors down the hall came and then finally my upstairs neighbors came. Here I am standing in my pajamas for the whole world to see swooshing out the smoke that was not there. (yes, the PJS were clean) All you could do was smile at the situation. If I had enough garlic bread, I would have offered them some.

It is good to know that if it had been a real emergency, people would have come by. They kept asking if I was ok. Which I was. Unfortunately all these cute men came by and I look like I have been bedridden with the flu.

Hopefully, I won't be known as Pajama Garlic Bread Girl. But I am grateful, they were clean!

So ladies and gents, always wear clean underwear and pajamas, you never know when they will come in handy.

Oh and when you are making garlic bread, don't let it burn. Unless you want to bring in your cute neighbors, then go for it.

Bring It On Baby!

We have all heard the saying, "No Pain, No Gain" and we have see athletes, push through the pain. Most of us want instant gratification in life. I want the results "NOW". Now is only now. But you have to be willing to work for what you want. It is achievable. Everything is achievable.

It is up to you.

The more you work, the more you achieve what you want. The more you complain about not achieving what you want, and the more you resist that which will have you have what you want, will lessen the chances of you actually having what you want.

It takes more energy to complain about it than actually doing the work. One action a day will move you forward in fulfilling you dreams. One action a day will bring you one day closer to your vision and dreams coming true.

If you are only willing to do what is easy and simple, then life will be hard and difficult. If you are willing to do what is hard, then of course, life will be easy and simple.

It is time to play hard ball. Let the soft ball go. No Pain No Gain!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is up to you. Choose your choices wisely.

Lights.. Camera.. Action

Life is not about finding yourself, but creating yourself. You are a creation that exists in language. There is nothing you can't Be, Do or Have and nothing you can't accomplish. You are a gift.

The gift of being a creator of your own life. You are the producer, director, actor and set designer of the play called "Your Life".

If your play is a dud, re-write it to be a best seller. You can create it to be any way you want. There is no writer's block when you are creating it. You create it, and if a scene doesn't go the way you want, then re-write it. Right then and there. Stop. Cut. Next.

Since you are the director, YOU get to say how the scenes go. You get to be creative.

It is all about creating yourself, your life and dreams.

So go forth, write a play that is worthy of your life. Make it Goooood. REAL goood!

And the award goes to.....................

Its all about the ZZZZZZZ

You have to take care of yourself, especially right now. As you know, I am recovering from surgery recently and while I am mentally competent, and think I can conquer the world, physically I am still in major recovery process.

I went on an adventure yesterday. I went and led a workshop. Just getting to NYC from my Queens home was an adventure in and of itself. Normally what would have been a 35 minute ride, took a lot longer, and left me exhausted in the process. Normally, I hop on the subway across from my house and zip, zip, zip right in. This time, my first time out since my surgery, I decided to take a safer (less stairs) route.

I waited about 40 minutes for the bus, took the bus to the LIRR, took the LIRR to Penn Station, then walked 2 blocks from Penn station to my desitnation. Normally not a big deal. But since I had only been to Rite-Aid across the street since my surgery, this was like walking on the moon. It was very disorienting.

We take for granted the simple things in life like walking, or eating, for example. None of which I have done alot of since my surgery. I have been resting to the degree I rested. I have little or no appetite. I walk around the apartment. So today all my activity from yesterday, my body said whoa, it all kicked in, and I just slept and I slept. I haven't been sleeping at nights so today my body must have said stop. I literally slept all day. I was supposed to work tonight but my body said, Whoa there Missy. You are not going anywhere. I literally felt gridlocked on my couch.

I really got that my body was going to take care of itself whether I wanted it to or not. (I wanted to go and do my work that I love) But my body had other ideas. Sometimes we don't listen to our bodies. We are only "renting" our bodies while we are here on earth. It isn't us. We live in a body that is a shield, but it is not who we are. It is like a car or house, the better we take care of it, the longer it will last.

Listen to what you body wants. If it wants sleep, don't deprive it. If it wants laughter, laugh out loud.

I slept all day and in one way, did not accomplish anything. In others, I healed at deeper levels.

Listen, you will know the answer. Pushing yourself can also wear you out. Take time to slow down, to rest and to heal. (Even if you aren't recuperating from surgery) This is a message for all of us.

I promise you, what ever you were rushing to do today, will still be there tomorrow.....

Rest your soul, your body and your mind.

Catch them ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz it does a body good.

Nothing like the simple things

Life is simple. We make it hard. Why? We have nothing better to do. Really. Human beings are simple, we make life complex.

I mean if you think about it, when you say you can or you say you can't, you are right.

It is all context. If you think you are good enough. You are.

If you think you aren't good enough. You aren't.

Simple

Yet we have not mastered it.

The more you speak, Life is easy, guess what, it will be.

Choose carefully.

Like life is short and sweet, tonight's blog is too. Enjoy the simplicity of life.

Indulging is a good thing.......Sometimes

There is nothing in this world that a chocolate cupcake can't fix. I LOVE chocolate cupcakes. I love cupcakes in general. But Chocolate cupcakes........... Yum....... with cream cheese icing......YUM YUM......... (Hey, if i can't have red velvet, chocolate is the next best thing)

Last week, after my surgery, my step mother made me chocolate cupcakes and froze them so I have them. Beleive it or not, I still have some left. I enjoy my cupcake or 2 daily. I don't even wait to have them thaw out. Just sink my teet into them and wham, I am happy. That Ice cold frosting and the moist cake...............YUMMMMMMMMM YUMMMMMMM

It is all good now while I don't have an appetite and am recovering. But when I get my full appetite back, I am not sure chocolate cupcakes every day will be a good idea.

Maybe etheric cupcakes will become popular. 0 calorie 0 guilt. (also 0 flavor :( ). I am not even thinking of that day. Until then, I will continue to enjoy my cupcakes with pure pride and passion. YUMMMMMMYYYYYY.

There is something to be said about cupcakes......... they do a mind good.

Enjoy your cupcake today. (even though there is not any reason to eat one other than because you said so).

Have 2 or 3. Indulge. Indulge. Indulge. Treat yourself. Cupcakes.......... here is to you.

Oh to be 5 again

When was the last time you tried something new? I mean really went for it, with out hesitations, or fear. When was the last time you trusted your self, your guidance, your heart?

When was the last time you played hard? Sang? Laughed? Turned Cartwheels in the park?

When did you stop wishing, and making wishes? When did you stop dreaming?

Life has become so significant hasn't it? What happened? You stop creating it. When you are creating life, life is miraculous and happens so wonderfully and joyfully. When you are creating, you are enlivened and empowered. You are trying something new, never worried about failing, hey if you fall off, you get back on.

When you are creating, life is easy and fun. It is like a spark got turned back on again. That spark hasn't been there since you were 5 or 6. Remember how you used to play, and life was fun? It is time to bring that youthfulness back.

The more you create, the more there is to create. The more there is to create, the more excited you get. The more excited you get, the more you can create. Then the vibration is raised and all is well.

Break up the pattern. Do something you wouldn't normally do. Go grab a coloring book and color, Or get an ice cream cone and skip down the street, or sing out loud. Evoke that inner child.

The message is play, play, play, play, play.

Go forth and be a kid, again.

You youthful shining light you!

Who are you?

You are only who you say you are. Really. When things are going well, it is because you believed you could, or you believed you had power over the situation or even that because you said it would. You may have never even remembered saying it but you did. There fore it came about.

If you say I am a loser then you will begin behaving like a loser unconsciously. If you say I am powerful, guess what, you ARE!

Every thought counts as does every word spoken. If everything you said came about instantly, you would relate differently to what you spoke. In fact, you would be VERY careful about what you said, especially about yourself.

We live in a world made up of language. The more you speak it, the more you believe it. That's the way it is, which is both great and not so great. That is the way it will always be (and always have been).

It is like if you were ordering food, you would choose carefully the things you liked and order them. You would not order the things you don't like because it would be a waste of time if you knew you didn't like them right? So why do you say things about who you are, what you are capable of etc, that you don't like?

Think about it. If you only affirmed the things that you wanted, and the things that were great about you and the things that you wanted to see happen Life would be pretty amazing. However, if you are continuing affirming what you can't have, do or be, life then, is where it is and will always be where it will be. No Mystery there. YOU HAVE THE POWER. ALTER YOUR THOUGHTS AND WORDS AND SEE YOUR LIFE ALTER.

You have a say. Yes you do! You have a say every moment. You don't have a say in your circumstances, BUT you do have a say in who you are, even despite the circumstances that are running the show.

The more practice (Consciously) that you do this, the better and easier it will be for you. Always look on the bright side of life (de do, de do do de do do de do- Sorry had to through in a melody there, I felt a song coming on)

There are many analogies I could use, and I probably will on another post, but the point is, Create every moment, every thought and every word inside of who you REALLY are. That powerful being of light that is here to shine on the universe. Yes, that is who you are. Should I say it again. You, yes you, the one who is reading this post, is a powerful being of light, that is here to shine on the universe.

Look in the mirror, what do you see? A powerful being of light, that is here to shine on the universe.

Start seeing yourself the way I see you. Life will look differently.

Go create something magical in your life today. You deserve it, you shining star you. And if you forget, re-read this post to remind you.

Mirror Mirror on the wall.......................

Listen, Learn, Grow

Music. Music. Music. Music is a very high vibration that helps raise your vibration. Helps manifest. Helps bring awareness. Makes you happy.

Music transports you into other worlds, dimensions and realms. It is calming, enlivening and has messages hidden inside.

Music transcends thoughts, it helps create new ideas and it opens and heals your chakras.

Often we take music for granted. But it offers so much more.

Music is the seat of the soul. The more you listen to music, the more creative, fulfilling and happy you will be.

It is also healing and nurturing.

Let yourself get immersed in music. Let it alter your reality.

As they say........... I got the music in me.......
