Patience and Hope

Where are we now on this journey here today the 9th day of October 2018?

As I focus on my own health,  I watch others flourish and those that do not.

Can I have or find the patience for my own growth, health and focused forgiveness as well as for others?

I am not sure some moments.

Or is it time to quiet the world around me and listen to my own thoughts and find hope?

No matter what or where my, our focus goes, it is all,  at this moment seemingly so chaotic.  We have been groomed to perceive that chaos is negative.

But if we step back and we notice the Love and Light being shown on the Darkness within our own lives and the world that surrounds us and see Beauty, Gratitude and Joy, there is where we see patience and hope.

I must be patient in my own life and hold Hope within that all I desire will transform.

No matter what we try to push forward, Divine Timing is driving the course.

We can have a tantrum or we can sit and breathe.

Go for a walk. Listen to our breath.

Patience and Hope can seem intangible…unattainable.

There is one piece missing, the willingness to stop, so slow down, to listen.

We only have one second, one moment at a time.  Sages across the ages remind us of that, so what I am here to do?

I am focusing on Hope and Patience, and Love and Joy to support me as I bring forth the gifts of my soul.

That is all there is.

Excitement!

A safari is under way, the deep discovery of soul.

Questioning of self has fallen away and opened a doorway to new adventures. 

Desire and Transforming our Hearts for change.

Our Hearts hold us as we transform, grow, listen and honor what we need for the catalyst of change.

So much has moved along the way, a recognition of health and change has prompted an allowing of my heart to complete, to honor and to embrace all I have done up until now in my life.

Change is around the corner. 

The delicious excitement is intoxicating.

Certainty has shown up again, a familiar friend. 

Honoring all the choices have brought profound healing and Light.

Excitement unfolds the Certainty of Love in Love for Love.

Doubting our Doubt

Thinking, thinking and thinking about things, stuff, our doubt.  

Doubt, it’s feeling uncertain, or lack of confidence or hesitation.  

Doubting our doubt.

Transitions are ongoing.

In one day we go through a life time of emotions and experiences.  

What we forget is exactly that..

and must stop for a moment, to listen to our heart, our breath.

Our exterior world can wreck havoc on our inner world.  

I remind myself often how grateful I am for where I am at this moment this breath.

Is it easy to remember?

I would love to say I have mastered noticing with gratefulness.  

All I know is I actively remember that doubt is another form of worry and worry steals joy.

Joy is what brings peace to my soul’s desire.  

Bring on JOY!!!

Deep within

Time, after time and oh more time.  

I cannot believe how quickly each moment is moving.

All I know is,  I continue to let go of what does not serve.

Beauty and Peace has moved in.

What does that look like in a day?

Gratitude comes quick and shows up in the most unexpected places.

This time of year nature slows down to rest and honor the harvest.  

Honor you, honor what you do not like and let it go.

Honor you, honor what you love, appreciate and let it go.

I wish I knew where to start.

To share all that has transpired in the past few moments, months, and years.

I am making a promise to myself to write, to share and to honor the gifts within my heart.

What will you do for you?  

What do you wish for and desire?  

What makes your heart sing?

Clouds, Sun, Moon and Eclipse

Today, August 21st, 2018, the first time in over two years I have sat down and articulated my Heart.

So much life lived in 730 days.. how many breaths is that?  Hmm lets see, 1,051,200 minutes.

Got a minute?

Lets talk about the power of Gratitude, Forgiveness and Letting go.

This photo above was taken during the Eclipse!

The shadows look like I am standing in the clouds.

I love moments like today!

Leading up to the peak of the eclipse felt so wonderful.

What does today represent for you?  

The beginning of something new or the end of an era?

Take the time today to sit and listen to the whispers of the sun and moon, for the stars hold gifts for you.

Are you Ready?

What matters is we act, move forward, let go, trust and forgive.

Repeat.

The resistance that shows up as you read this, let it go.

The doubt, just let it go.

We must turn away from the whispers that haunt us and keep us small.

Yes, we must face moments of grief.

Yet, Love, Light and Joy are right there by our side.

It is a breath, its saying No, or saying Yes.

Yes to Love.

Yes to Letting go.

Yes to Abundance.

Yes to Health.

Yes to All that comes your way.

Focus on the Sun and Moon, and the clouds will part ways.

May you always know the Beauty of you, Honor the gifts you bring and Laugh and Laugh and Laugh some more.

In Loving Joy,

Shannon

Brand New!!

Brand New!!

It’s so fun to Feel Brand New!

How do I get to that Place of feeling Fresh and Brand New?

I would love to say I feel that way everyday.

Yet, sometimes I have to clear out the messy stuff.

Clean house.

Let go!

Forgive, Embrace Gratitude and Grace!

Get rid of the stuff,  you know.

Painting, scraping or digging will clear the sludge.

So will getting rid of old clothes.

And yes, all of those things help…

Yet, writing and walking and writing some more are the

catalyst that moves out what must go.

And at the end of the day, we must move forward.

Bring on the Light. 

It’s time to embrace the Brand New!

Ready to Sing, Dance and Play.

Perspective, Perception and Perceiving

Sunday’s quiet, sweet and full of still moments.

I spend time with my wonderful companion, my friend, my husband.

He brings so much to me, to my life, a perspective of perception and

what we perceive.

I used to think they were all the same, they are not.

The line between is thin.

We must learn to discern the difference.

One of the most powerful gifts of wisdom I have learned from him is how to “trust” my perception, honor what I know about myself and what I am perceiving.

How did he teach me this?

By “being” himself, and I listen, observe and am open to how he responds to me and how he lives his life.

Who brings wisdom to you, simply because of who they are?

Are you willing to receive it?

Do you trust what your perceiving?

2014-09-21 10.10.34

What do these words mean?

Perspective, how we see things.

Perception, the result of how we perceive which leads us to another question, what then is perceiving?

Perceiving: discernment, understanding, recognizing, becoming aware of.

Do you see the Fish in the Image?

The challenge is listening, observing, and releasing what we want or need so we may embrace the information that is being shown to us.

True growth comes from a place of knowing how we are being perceived, the impact we have and how others respond.

I am transparent which is a gift and a challenge.

You know the person that “wears their heart on their shirt sleeve” or “those that are so sensitive”

That’s me.

It is very hard to be with others who are out of integrity, incongruent with what they say and do. 

It takes practice and desire to observe, listen and receive what we need for ourselves and how to honor others.

May your heart be open to all the Beauty and Joy that surrounds you!

Fresh snow, crystalline shifts within!!

I Love Snow !

A time for Play!

The snow falls, I must be in it!

My mind clears, my breath is strong, my ears listening to all that surrounds me.

My Heart opens wide.

These quiet, crisp and fresh moments call me to Listen to my Heart.

The glistening of the snow reminds me of the incredible journey we are on.

I move forward and celebrate.

Letting go of what no longer serves me or others whom I love, have loved and will Always Love.

Play each day.

Take time to connect to you, express gratitude and most importantly, Let go, Forgive and…Play in the Snow!!!

What is a want?

What is wanting?

Is it Desire?

Is it a craving? What is wanting, Exactly?

A craving, for love, recognition, approval or to Belong?

We, as human’s want to belong, to be a part of something.

What does belonging look like?

To know we make a difference, that we matter.

We count.

We are enough.

I grapple with belonging, accepting and knowing I am enough.

I decided to surrender and lean into gratitude, accepting me for all that I am.

I am enough. I belong.

May you find Acceptance in all that you are and peace within knowing you are Enough and you Belong.
