Limitations? Only If I Put Them There!

Finding my way in the Universe sometimes is a journey of many twists and turns.  One day I will be so sure that I have things figured out, that I know just where I am going, where I've been, and where I am in the here and now.  But oftentimes, reality is a hard surface to land on and I find myself feeling bruised and shaken from the fall to reality.  And then moments later--a piercing thought of such beauty and awareness seeps in and I realize that once again, I HAVE FULL CONTROL OF MY OWN REALITY!!!!  This is such a key fact, an element that I so much need to always remember and hang onto.  No one on this earth, in this life, or even in the lives to come can control my destiny, my reality.  I am the sole PILOT.  

"There are no limitations in what you can do...Except...the limitations of your own mind." --so aptly spoken and so true to the teachings that I have been following these past many years.  Our thoughts, our vibrations, our attitudes all shape our here and now.  But so too, our very thoughts can most definitely shape our future, as well.  

Believing that you are truly blessed is the first step to finding inner happiness and strength.  Allowing your heart to swell with the gratitude for the blessings that enhance and encompass your life now will make room for your abundance and your blessings to multiply and grow.  Focusing on the good, on all that is wonderful, on all that makes you feel safe, content, loved, appreciated and real will most certainly allow you to open up to all the wonders and beauty and abundance that is waiting only for your acceptance.  The Universe hears and listens with an openness--ready to grant each of us that which we truly seek, that which we truly desire.

I realize now that I must truly align with the positive light that lives within me and whenever the doubts, the fears begin to seep in--I must turn to my inner light and focus and believe that all will be just as it should.  I realize too that my future is within my own power--that all I need to do is focus on what I want to unfold in my life and to believe that it will be so.  I realize that this love that envelopes my heart, that bursts forth and seeks to discover and find those who truly accept and appreciate the warmth and love I have to give is good and real and true.

No longer do I need to worry or fear that my life is going no where, that what is happening in the here and now is wrong in any way.  Each moment of every day is a gift and a chance to begin anew--to create a reality that aligns with the inner light that shines within my heart and soul.

I am so very truly blessed.

Sharing This Journey

Such a delight to awaken to the joy of a new day--to the knowledge that this day, this VERY day is a gift to be unwrapped, to be explored.  The gift of this day is just a part of the journey I am on and as I travel forward, I love sharing this journey with all who wish to come along.  My journey involves a heart full of love, of learning to see the beauty in ALL things, of learning and acknowledging that ALL THINGS happen for a reason and that always, always there is a plan unfolding.  Whether that plan is pre-ordained or whether it is unfolding just as I intend--by putting out my forward thoughts, my positive vibes and my true beliefs, it is still a gift to be discovered, uncovered, unwrapped, and one to enjoy with the gratitude and joy of knowing that it is all as it should be.  Each moment of each and every day is unfolding to help us in our spiritual growth.  


As you allow all of your senses to be truly aware and cognizant of the fact that all life on this planet/in this dear Universe of ours is connected, you will discover so many "secrets" that help you to understand why you are here.  We are all here to learn, to grow, to advance and to eventually find our way back to the non-physical where we truly started from.  Many consider the non-physical to be "heaven" and perhaps that is a truly apt concept--as the non-physical state is such a euphoric and all knowing and blessed state that it is our highest desire to obtain.  So many do not realize that at one time we were truly all non-physical and that we actually CHOSE to come here as physical beings to delight in the journey and to learn how best to interact and be loving creatures without the advantage of the non-physical state.  Sadly, many of us came here with absolutely no memory of our non-physical state and our purity of love and acceptance and we stumble along and grope our way through completely oblivious to the fact that we absolutely have the power to do anything we so desire.  Many of us choose not to use our power beyond our humanly confines because we are enjoying the challenge of the journey so much that we want to find our way with only the human concepts that we were given when we arrived here. 


As I continue my journey, my travels through this life that I have so joyfully chosen, I am blessedly aware that we are connected to all things.  All of humanity are connected, but so too we are connected to the plants, the clouds, the stars, the moon, the sun--to all matter that comprises our existence as we know it.  But not only are we connected to all that is in existence, we are also connected to all that ever was, all that ever will be.  We are ONE with the Universe and all things.  If ever all of humanity realizes this and joins together to create a positive environment and a conjoined emotional bond of love--including not just humanity, but love for ALL things, all that ever was, all that ever will be--the BEAUTY that unfolds would be indescribable!  My goal as I journey through this life is to continually BELIEVE, to KNOW that one day we will all discover that our journey leads us to the HIGHER AWARENESS of ONENESS.  


And always I will carry with me my heart full of love and acceptance as I journey through this path I have chosen.  Life is GOOD--all LIFE is Good!  


Blessings abound in my life and in yours, as well.  Believe and it will be so!  #

Reflections...

As I begin this journey of self, of my soul
As I reach deep within 
to discover and become one
with who I am
with who I have always been--
As I reflect and strive
to grasp
just who it is
I will be
when tomorrow
arrives--
Suddenly
all the love,
all the hope,
all the expectation
all the joy
come screaming with glee
into my life, into my here and now...


All I need do
is to LIVE
to BE
to GIVE
to ACCEPT
to LAUGH
to CRY
to PLAY
to DANCE
to WALK FORWARD


all while grasping the concept 
of eternal love, of eternal acceptance 
and remembering most of all
not to judge--
not to hold anyone 
other than myself
responsible 
for my life, my joy, my sorrow, my gifts.
I alone am responsible
and I have the power
to choose


to LIVE
to BE
to GIVE
to ACCEPT
to LAUGH
to CRY
to PLAY
to DANCE
to WALK FORWARD


but so too,
I have the power to NOT.


For NOW,
I choose to have the POWER
to HAVE JOY and LOVE and ACCEPTANCE
as MY GIFTS to ME. (and as my gift to those 
who wish to share and be a part 
of my beloved Soul Family).

(Re-post) A Grateful Heart

Do you ever wake up in the mornings and just KNOW that it's going to be a great and wonderful day?  I do. Every day feels like a brand new gift and I love, love, love opening this gift, unwrapping it one moment at a time.  I never know exactly what I'm going to find underneath all tha wrapping, but man, it's almost always something really, really good -- and even when it's not the absolute best -- it's still at least interesting and fun and something that piques my curiosity and makes me want to see more, more, more! 

I love my life.  Each day brings such a tremendous amount of goodness and surprise and hope and (best of all) LOVE.  I love so very, very many in my life and love so much sharing what is inside my heart, what I feel, what I hold dear...I love giving and sharing and caring--how can I not?  Even when people are so wrapped up in their own little worlds and seem so obsessed with their problems and their fate they must deal with each and every day--I still feel this huge love and intense desire to give, to share, to be just who I am.


And best of all, this desire of giving from within never dies--it lives on even when times get rough.  No matter how crummy my life gets at any given time, I know that it is still better than some who are living a far less fortunate life than I am living.  And that is when I realize and feel the huge and intense blessing of my life, for I know beyond doubt that I am far luckier than some and that one day, when the good times do roll in (and yes, no doubt that they will) I will give back ten fold and then some to all who need, to all who want, to all who I can reach out and help--for whenever I am blessed with abundance, I will share and give and be who I am truly from within.  


Each day is a gift and my joy comes in giving and helping and being among those who are in need, who are living in the joy of just being.  


There will come a day when I will be unwrapping a wondrous and beautiful gift of abundance and when that day comes, I will have the honor of sharing and giving and helping those who are truly in need.


Until then, I do what I can and I know that I am forever blessed.  Thank you, Universe!

This Most Awesome Gift

I’m not even sure that I can do it justice, but I want so much to be able to describe this most awesome gift that I’ve been given.  Each time I look at it, feel it, think of it, I am overwhelmed with such joy and awe and gratitude that sometimes I feel that I might just burst into tears.  (Damn these silly hormones!) Still…this gift is so precious and such a treasure that there HAS to be a way I can describe it to you and make others understand just how very, very fortunate I am.


At first when it was given to me, I took it for granted and didn’t really think it was all that important—I mean—I looked around and saw that everyone seemed to have this same gift that I had been given—just different variations of it.  I didn’t come to truly appreciate the value of it until my 5th decade and then suddenly, its value just skyrocketed and I realize now that all along this was the most awesome gift, the most precious treasure I’d ever held in my grasp.  I remember a few times when I damn near let it slip out of my possession—thought many times of just throwing this gift away—what good was it anyway?  Even though I took it with me everywhere I went and hauled it around with every move I made from state to state, sometimes it felt like it was just too burdensome to carry.  Sometimes I even thought it was plain worthless—who needs something that everyone else has anyway?  


And then along came this Christmas/Holiday Season.  For the first time in years, I have almost no money to spend on those I truly love and cherish in my life and I was wondering how on earth I could give them something special so that they would all know how very much I love them and care…


And then I remembered my original gift that I’ve had all these years.  It is something so precious and so valuable that why not just share it?  I mean, why be selfish with something that can be treasured and loved and held dear by all those who I hold dear?  I realize now that I don’t even have to wait for the Holiday Season to share it—I can share it with anyone and everyone that cares to be included and especially with those that I love dearly.


This gift?  It is my life.  My heart.  My time and the knowledge and experience that I’m gaining with each new day.  I can share this gift by just being ME, by being true to myself, by being the loving, giving, caring soul that I have always been.  I do not need fancy, expensive, store bought presents to give out—I can give out pieces of my life, an abundance of love from my heart, and my time to those who are in need, who truly want and desire a precious bit of truth and love.  


And best of all?  This gift will last into eternity, because with each piece of my heart, my life, my time that I share, a tiny bit stays with those who I reach out to share with and they in turn will share their gifts and before long, this most awesome gift will be seen, felt, held and experienced by all who care to share and become a part of this huge, huge gift that we call LIFE.


Now, how awesome is THAT????


Life Is GOOD.

Lonely/Alone

Sometimes, just sometimes
I feel so alone.
Yes,
I know there are many
who love me and care.
But still--
I am a creature 
who aches to be held,
to be touched,
to feel.


Just lonely
sometimes.
But I imagine
so many others
in this world
are just as lonely 
as I am this day.


Even so,
as lonely as I feel now--
I still do not feel
as completely Alone
as I did 
those years ago
whenever we were "we"
and he lived below
and I above
in the same house.
Together
yet so very 
apart.


Such a sad
existence.
Strange...
I don't feel so
lonely 
anymore.
I'm just alone
and sometimes
that's okay.
