Responsibility! What does that really Mean?

I love the word, Responsibility!

Why?

I have learned that it is best to focus our eyes on our heart.

There we find, what is ours, and hopefully we are willing to accept and share our gifts.

The million dollar question, “What is my part, what is mine?”

I have learned to look within first.

Do I do it all the time?

Of course, not.

However, I have discovered it is best, to step back and look within.

Take responsibility for me and do what is best for the situation.

Is it easy?

Sometimes.

Is it necessary? Absolutely!

Self – Responsibility, comes easier the more we practice.

No matter where we are in our lives at this moment, taking the time to honor what is ours’ and what is not makes for greater joy, play and peace.

I write this today as I grapple with My heart,

an ache deep within

haunting me.

If I were to die today, it would be with regret.

The regret of not Honoring my truth, all the Truth, to me, myself and I.

The regret of not Allowing myself to do what I love.

I love writing.

I love teaching.

I love working with all the healing tools I have.

I love teaching others about their relationship with money.

I have so much within I can no longer hold it inside.

Today, you are my witness, the First Day, that I face with Grace the responsibility of sharing my deepest passions.

Thank you for listening to my Heart.

May your journey ahead be filled with Great Joy and Love.

And you share what the love deep within.

2015! Wow!!

Being Present! Being Here!

Being in the Now, the Moment!!

Where are you today the 16th day of 2015?

Have you decided to be different this Year?

This moment?

You? Who are You? How many shirts, pants or socks are hanging out not being touched?

How much dirty laundry do you have, Really? How much?

When was the last time you spoke the words, “I forgive….?”

When was the last time you tossed those old socks, old shirts, old patterns and behaviors, that seem to fit , but really don’t, and just hurt when you consider what must be done to Let go.

What is Forgiveness?

Why do we need to practice it everyday?

For me, as I practice forgiveness, something Beautiful Happens.

What ? You ask?  I am able to smile with a greater sense of Peace,

I have a spring in my step

and Joy deepens within my Heart.

Who do we forgive…those we love, those we don’t, those we see everyday, those we have not seen in years, those that don’t even know we were or are upset with them, But Most Important of All…

We forgive ourselves.

We let ourselves off the Hook.

When we let go, and forgive others we find forgiving ourselves comes much easier.

We set those Free that have hurt us, betrayed us, angered us.

Forgiveness does not mean we approve of what happened to us.

When we forgive we are facing the situation, honoring,

accepting, and letting it go. 

Do we need to share with those we have forgiven or continue to be in relationship with them? Or draw them back in?

It depends, as We must honor our hearts and what we need.

Forgiveness releases the anger, bitterness, shame and all other emotions.

Most important of all, forgiveness is personal, for our hearts, for just us, in honor of us.

The magic that occurs when we practice forgiveness, it releases the electrical charge that triggers the emotion, the shame or whatever it is that prevents us from honoring ourselves.

We set ourselves free as well those we have forgiven.

If you never practice Forgiveness, try it for one week, everyday.

Let me know how you feel.

And remember, first and foremost…

Be Gentle to you,

Be Kind to you,

as you Move with Grace and Forgive!!

Winter Solstice

You, the Sun and You!

What are you doing this Winter, December 21st of 2014?

Are you aware of the intangible yet very glorious feeling of this time?

Do you celebrate it?

I hope at the very least you Notice it, or take the time to Observe what is happening within and around You.

This time of year can feel so overwhelming, emotional, a time of joy, sorrow or a strong desire to run screaming the other direction all at the same time!

How do you take care of you?

Do you overeat, drink and spend??

Consider a different choice? 

One small one, such as saying no, to a party or person, buy one less item instead and spend more time with those you love.

What about honoring you?  And all that you are? 

Here is my gift to you:

Make a list of all that you have done the past three months..

three weeks..

three days..

What did you discover?

You?

 May Divine Grace bless you with You!!

Namaste’

Wind in My Heart!!

2014-09-21 09.50.23

Wind in My Heart!!  

The sorrow of the past is moving on! Is it easy…

It feels like rocks moving in the water.  Or the water moving along the rocks.

My mind wants to know Every detail, Yet knows My Heart is in charge and just wants to Let go of what is rolling around within.

Before we can Grow we must Let Go.

Its not like I have not done this Before.

This time the song is different, it is a slow soulful sound, one of Love and Appreciation.

Joy is equal to the depth of Sorrow.

May the Journey you are on be Gentle and Joyful!!

From Here to There and Back again!

How far I have come.

From here to there and everywhere.

Tears of joy roll down my checks every day.

I find when I worry, my body wants to shut down.  So, Why worry!

I find here today this moment this breath is filled with Motion of Emotion

with Grace, with Love.

Many times I have wondered what it would be like with my children

no longer under foot or under my roof.

That moment is Now.

 I find Peace of mind knowing the Love I poured into being a parent not

sure I was always doing the right thing or making a difference

shows up now as I listen to them

share their journey.

And as they share, tears of Joy roll freely down my checks.

I too am on a new journey, so excited, so sweet, so precious.

I feel more centered in who I am, where I am headed and a Deep sense of

humility and grace.

I am honored to be here this moment, this breath.

Fun and Responsibiltiy!

Me

I am humbled by the Beauty of Montana

How it impacts my heart!

It’s been three years.

At that point in life, a Deer dropped in,

I changed in ways I could have never imagined.

So much moved out, was tossed out..kicked out.

Room was made in my heart for me.

For the first time,  I began to really question who was I…

How do I embrace all of me…

To stand in the Tall Grass, with courage and grace, facing the parts of me

I did not want to see…

Those parts I did not like..

What frightened me most was opening to the Beauty others saw within me..

A journey I was called to go on alone…

What did I want….

Where did I see myself…

How do I get there?

How was I going to face the parts of me that were strong and healthy and sweet..

I was quick to notice the Beauty in others…

Today,  I find myself feeling… silly, young and an innocence, a deep Joy for what lies

within..

what gifts are ahead…

Joy shows up so sweetly each moment, each breath.

May this note find you discovering you

 with Grace.

Stuff? What Kind of Stuff do you Have?

How much Stuff do you have?

Stuff, Things, Behaviors, Relationships, Issues

Stuff

Whose stuff is it?

Mine

Or??

Pack, Let Go, Move on, Write it out,

What Stuff do you want?

What Stuff do I want?

Why do I have or need Stuff?

Things, Behaviors, Relationships, Issues

What does Stuff have to do with anything anyway?

Stuff has nothing to do with anything but Stuff

Lightsflashing!!? Wake up!!!

I am working away, and smack in the middle

of my eyes lights start flashing, a headache.

A day guided oh so loudly to a different path.

A slower one, more mindful, less “thinking”, More Heart.

I have learned through meditation, prayer and healing work

when we Ask Expecting to get what we want so Deep within our Hearts..

We better be Ready…

For what we asked for…

I learned to be Mindful of what I want and dismiss thoughts of

what I do not want.

We will get.. whatever we focus on..

There is a pattern, I am letting go of resistance.

Resistance to change and receiving.

I Ask Out Loud with an Expectant Heart.

Arms Open Wide…

What do I Really want… you ask?

To Trust I am worthy.

To share my spiritual gifts, in honor and service to others.

To receive abundant financial support as I share my spiritual gifts.

To share the Beauty, Grace and Love that I continue to experience.

To Laugh often.

To show all those who cross my path they are Marvelous amazing Souls.

To Live, Move, Dance, and Love in Grace.

To be quick to Forgive and acknowledge those whom I may have hurt

To Surrender with Ease

To remember this is It! This moment… This breath…

Miracles happen every day, every breath we take

I forgot the lights and headache are a reminder,

I have been asking, I Better be Ready!!

I am asking and expecting and open to..

“…..the Abundance of the Universe”

 I am open to the unexpected Beauty and Grace from the Divine….

IMAG0192From Love,

From Surrendering,

From Forgiving,

From Letting go and Trusting,

My Heart is Wide open, a sense of calm moves through me.

The Fullness of Beauty.

The Abundant Joy of Delight and Light.

Integrity…

Honesty

Truth

Integrity

Trust

Courage

Congruent in All we are.

I am a Leader.  Being a leader means honoring and speaking the Truth.

It is not a popular position, yet being a leader is necessary.

I walk the walk. I walk in Tandem with my Heart.

Is it Simple?

No, Yet necessary because it’s Real.

I honor me, My Heart.

You may not like me

You may love me

I may offend you

I may not speak my heart, yet I honor my Heart and yours.

Honor you, Love you and Walk in Tandem with your Heart.

 

Walk? Run? Stroll?

Whew!!

Today I felt Like I was walking yet my Heart was pounding like I was

running and I certainly was Not strolling…at least that is what I thought.

The man, I am in Love with… has taught me how to Stroll.

I must admit… I thought I knew how or maybe I simply had forgotten.

I soon discovered that I need to Stroll and what it

Truly Means…

strolling

The definition has two meanings…

“To walk leisurely”.

Or…”An objective easily achieved”

Today, my objectives exactly that, easily achieved.

I love the beach, I miss it, crave it and have the deepest Desire to Stroll upon it.

I have learned more in the last two years about

strolling than I ever thought I would.

I am excited to learn more and to master the Art of Strolling.

I am curious..

Are you Walking? Running? or Strolling?

For me, Strolling is honoring My Heart!!
