Be the change

The best thing you can do for the world is live an extraordinary life.
Live a life full of love and inspiration and joy.

What filter are you looking through? When you wake up in the morning are you excited for a new wonderful day of opportunity or are you dreading getting out of bed. Do you see the amazing potential in each new morning, is there gratitude for another day of living or is it a painful experience flooded with regret and dread for all that you worry about.
Paying attention to the subtle feelings coursing through your system will be an indicator of what it is you are allowing in your thoughts. Thoughts that are kind, peaceful, loving, generous will create a world of sweet peace, an experience of love and generosity. What you focus on directly creates your experience. Bringing yourself back to the knowing that you are so much more than your body or your circumstance.
This life is temporary and you are going to die. Eventually all of the things that consume you will be gone. These things will return to dust, the people, places, events will all be gone.
The magic happens when you decide that the only day that exists is today the only time is now everything else is a product of your mind and thoughts. Living Now, feeling now, being now, is a choice we all have.

I was inspired by a conversation last night, one bringing my awareness to all the pain and suffering in the world. What I realized is that no amount of feeling bad or sorry for all the wrong in the world will make it right. What will make things right is to turn these concerns of injustice and chaos directly inward. When there is a complaint of injustice I need to look directly inside of my life and see how this applies. How I can make a difference now in my world? How can I directly alleviate the pain and suffering in my world.
This is just a choice of what I choose to focus on. Being in a place of love and peace will directly effect my children my husband my friends the people I interact with in each moment.
This is a pebble in the pond, the ripples of my choices will move outward to all those around me. Is my pebble a positive force or am I adding to all the hate and contention that already exists?
I choose love, I choose to see beauty, I choose to be kind to those around me. I choose to see fun and inspiration everywhere. I choose to use the wisdom within my soul.
 Does any of this actually matter? No.

We all end up in the same place when it’s over anyway. But what I understand is if I choose to be connected and in a place of caring then my entire experience of living will also be this.  I have no need to make others wrong for the choices they live I only have to Be the change I wish to experience.

Infinite Possibilities

Welcome to the world of infinite possibilities.  It’s an amazing ride that will scare the shit out of you but is so incredibly inspiring and worth every scream.   What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Every failure is just a course correction. We are always being fine tuned and guided to live our most glorious versions of our selves in every moment. The key is to trust that The Universe has got your back. The things you want Source wants for you, If you are willing to move even an inch in that direction Source will move mountains to accommodate you.  I am only now figuring this out. Little by little this game has been revealing itself to me. I understand that every thing I think, feel, and do has an impact on the life that is showing up for me. My daughter’s death has taught me that tomorrow is not a guarantee. Now is the only time I have. Now, this moment, not ‘some day’ or ‘maybe another time’. There is only now and in this now everything is possible. The key to unlocking

Traveling With Mama

  Traveling with mama, My intention was to take my mother on a trip. I wanted to spend some time with her and I k now she loves to travel. She’s 77 years old and in pretty good health. I thought the best way to spend days on the road would be in comfort and style. I purchased and RV knowing that she would be comfortable riding along in a cushy vehicle. The RV could also convert to a lounge area, where she could lay back put her feet up and enjoy the many hours driving.   Most recently my mother suffered from a fall that injured her hip and left her with a concussion. Even though she is in good spirits she has difficulty with balance and walking long distance is a challenge.   I arrived late May anticipating our travels would have us on the road by the first of June. I was waiting for my license plates to arrive from the dealer in Orlando Florida. Little did I know that the plates would not be showing up any time soon. My temporary tags were already expired.   After many days of waiting

Pain

  Pain  what is it? A physical suffering or distress, a sensation in a particular part of the body   Pain and suffering only exist on this planet in these bodies we came here to know pain.    Pain is a sensation but suffering is a choice. Suffering happens when we reject the pain. But what happens if you dive into the pain fully, embrace the sensations. Ride out the feelings with complete and total acceptance? There is something very powerful about feeling pain. It will show you your dark corners of fear. It will give you back stage access into the unconscious world that runs your waking world. Going through pain is a holy and sublime process.  After experiencing tremendous pain there is a shift in your being. You will experience a feeling of confidence as well as a softening of compassion for those going through it. We all experience pain at some point in our lives. Understanding that there is a reason for it will help you to move gracefully through it. Do not squash the pain with pai
