My message today:
Sometimes I turn on the Joel Osteen Service on Sunday mornings.
Sometimes he is speaking right directly to me, sometimes it's just a
nice reminder or lovely positive message for me.
Today he was speaking right directly at me. His bottom line today was
"Seek God in everything in your life. Say thank you for everything in
your life, even, and especially, the mundane. If you seek God and stay
in Gratitude, many many blessings will come to u, far greater then u can
imagine or make happen by yourself."
I have decided this week to let go of a very toxic situation in my life.
I have been holding on to this situation for many, many, many reasons
(some of which I don't even realize consciously), not the smallest being
that I make $1200/mo from this situation. This past week, I decided no
more. I am trusting, asking for and open to receiving whatever shows
up now to help me. I fully know that whatever shows up will not look
like anything I can come up with or create all on my own, I'm going to
need many things I have no control over to happen.
I also know I need to be thankful for what I do have in my life, and I
have a lot. So so so many things have transpired for me to let me get
to where I am now. So many people have come into my life in a BEYOND
random way that has helped me get where I am today. I have much bigger
dreams and aspirations and know I am on the road to much bigger things
than I could have EVER have let myself imagine or even begin to step
into doing and being even a year ago.
On the very same day, I found out that my Bella's cancer was making an
appearance in her sweet little body again. Since then we have been on a
healing mission. I now know that we have months, probably many months,
instead of the days or weeks that I had feared and my vet had thought
due to the pain she was in that day. She is now and Rollin along again,
and I have been reminded ONCE AGAIN, that we are given gifts in our
lives, and we need to be grateful for them, not take them for granted,
in any way, shape or form.
So his message spoke directly to me: Seek God, Be in gratitude for
everything, ASK for and RECEIVE miracles and profound, unbelieveable
happenings in my life, ALLOW them to show up, to KNOW that things I
can't even imagine will show up if I trust Spirit that will not evolve
and happen if I go into fear in any way...to Stay in Love, because Love
and connection and trust and being grateful for my Life, is really all
there really is.

Fulfilled or Comfortable?
We live in a society that Is dedicated to our comfort , whether it is
fulfilling or not. NOW, Consider the possibility that the Universe,
God, Goddess, Your Higher Self, whatever You call it, is dedicated to
your fulfillment, whether it's comfortable or not.
Think about that. How often has it happened that you fulfilled a dream, built a marriage, changed your body, created a business or anything else in your life that u really really wanted and that gave u the biggest happiness, depth and growth in your life and it was really really easy? If ever, then GOOD FOR YOU! You were completely ready for it, in so many ways. However, do we ever truly know what happened previously, internally or in life circumstances, to get us really ready for it? How do we know that the last big, hard challenge in our life wasn't what created the opportunity for that particular thing to be so incredibly easy?
I'm in yet another situation, well, several, that require a very challenging practice for me: patience, allowing, letting it be and unfold as it will, not as I want it to. I know it's unfolding, I know it will be beautiful, still challenging, still work but EVERYTHING I am being asked to wait and hold space for will be worth it. Whether it be relationship, body, current business, future business and new aspect of work that I am creating and growing into, this is all big, big stuff for me, now and in the bigger scope of my life. It's not exactly comfortable, but I LOVE the challenge and the growth and potential that is being created, germinated and fulfilled within my body, soul and being.
When have you let the discomfort stop you? When have you taken the easy way out? Have you regretted it and known that it could have been so much more? Have you felt like there was so much more to it and you owe it to yourself to follow that knowing and follow it thru? Then go there! Don't cheat yourself! Get everything that you can possibly get for yourself! Do it, take the first or the last step...where ever you are on the journey...and ALLOW your knowing, your body, your very being, to be your guide.

transforming yourself into a strategic warrior in daily life
In Creating business or simply navigating daily life and all of it's challenges, "One of the 6 fundamental ideas you should aim
for in transforming yourself into a strategic warrior in daily life: worship Athena, not Ares. Athena was deemed by the Greeks to be the
goddess of strategic warfare. Ares was the God of war
in its direct and brutal form. The Greeks despised Ares and worshiped
Athena, who always fought with the most intelligence and subtlety. Your
interest in war is not the violence, the brutality, the waste of lives
and resources, but the rationality and pragmatism it forces on us and
the ideal of winning without bloodshed. The Ares figures of the world
are actually quite stupid and easily misled. Using the wisdom of Athena,
your goal is to turn the violence and aggression of such types against
them, making their brutality the cause of their downfall. Like Athena,
you are always one step ahead, making your moves more indirect. Your
goal is to blend philosophy and war, wisdom in battle, into an
unbeatable blend."-The 33 Strategies of War.
How cool is that?! Adds a whole different understanding to Feminine power, doesn't it?! What does it mean to YOU? “transforming yourself into a strategic warrior in daily life” fascinating. come from strategy, asking, understanding, love, softness and flowing with what is to get what I want instead of forcing what I THINK it should be. Taking down the opponent thru being centered and coming from your Hara and Love, rather than brute force...the Aikido Martial Arts aspect of Nia rather than the Taekwondo. The people who function from this brutal place only are easily misled and do no actually function with the world and what is, but against it. “Using the wisdom of Athena, your goal is to turn the violence and aggression of such types against them, making their brutality the cause of their downfall. Like Athena, you are always one step ahead, making your moves more indirect. Your goal is to blend philosophy and war, wisdom in battle, into an unbeatable blend." TOTALLY Aikido in Nia: Spherical, centered, harmonious motion. Coming from the Yin, not Always the Yang. As in Movement and Nia, all aspects must be balanced and welcomed, worked with-not against, that will simply cause imbalance, weakness and missed opportuities for growth and strength.
How do you conduct YOUR Life? Do you come from balance or from one extreme or the other? How do you take care of YOUR body, coming from Love to heal and change it or from Punishment and force? Nothing will ever truly change and have lasting change if it is forced to do it...Choice, Asking, Receiving, Creating...

I knew it! Thank u for the confirmation!!
I knew it! Thank u for the confirmation!!
Every so often on a Sunday morning, I will happen upon a Joel Osteen broadcast. I did that this morning and what he was sharing stopped me dead in my tracks. Literally.
He was telling a story about a certain type of bamboo plant where the roots grow and flourish underground for 4 years and the plant doesn't really grow, at least nothing really appears to be happening. However, at the end of 4 years, the plant blooms and fast and is unbelievable in its growth!
He also told a biblical story about a woman who was gathering scraps and leftovers from a grain field/farm. The owner of the farm noticed her. He asked his workers to start leaving her grain to make it easy for her. They met and fell in love. She became his wife and thus became owner of the farm she had been gleaning scraps from. The lesson is that when u do your work, when you really do your work, your homework, whatever it takes, God will reward u with things BEYOND your imagination. People show up, often just one person shows up to help u get where u r going...situations are created...situations, projects, ideas, etc. that you have been working on manifest and manifest in ways that YOU never imagined possible.
I was laid off 4 years ago March 1st. 3/1/2009. I have been finding and creating real direction and focus in my business and in my life. I have been learning to navigate connections and relationships and networking. I have been learning what true, real personal power is then living and owning it in my life. I have been figuring out and creating my brand. I have been really owning and living what works for ME, TRULY JUST ME with eating and movement. I have been telling people, "Last year was about building relationships and connections. (the people who showed and, and I mean RANDOMLY AND OUT OF NOWHERE, as in running across parking lots to meet me because they had been manifesting meeting me and a maintenance man looking man happening to walk into the studio I was teaching and adopt me and completely help me in every way financially-including giving me a studio!). This year is about creating and doing whatever it takes to create my life and my brand and my business and the connection with my future business. Next year, it is just going to rock and roll and create, manifest and actualize! Woohoo!
Me happening upon Joel Osteen this morning was God/the Universe, whatever your word is, telling me I am right. This is exactly what is happening and I know it and I am right and on the right track and path. I love life.
Love your body. Love yourSelf. Love your life. Why do anything else? What good does that possibly do u?!

Are you willing to do whatever is needed to create what you want in your life?
My theme word for the year, as it came up New Year's Eve was
WILLINGNESS. What do I know? Take it as it comes, flow with it, create
within and with it, love, live, show up to the best of my ability,
right here, right now. Willingness, whatever it takes.
Are you willing to do whatever it takes to have the life you want to live? To have the body you want to have? To have the friendships you want to have, the primary relationship you want? To create the work situation you desire? Can you let go of your ideas and your control enough to allow things to actualize in your life? If we hold on too tightly, we will choke any possibility of great things that we do not expect happening! Often when I think I know something for sure, I am surprised. It is put in my face over and over, what do I know?
When I am vulnerable and I take a chance... When I make a choice that empowers me and takes me closer, in some way, to what I am asking for in my life...when I let go and do my part to create what I want but I get out of the way and simply allow it to happen by staying focused and willing instead of trying to control and direct exactly what I think should happen, surprising and wonderful things/changes/results show up!
What are you keeping out of your life, Physically, Mentally, Emotionally or Spiritually? What can you let go of that is keeping it out? What can you invite in and ask for that will allow it to change? Ask yourself, "Am I truly willing, truly willing to do what it takes to create what I truly want in my life, all ways, always?"

willingness
Letting go. It might not look like I thought it would look. Willingness. These seem to be the themes of my year, so far.
Lots of things seem to not be fitting anymore. Lots of things I thought I knew for sure are not as I expected in any way at all. I read the daily thought I get from an organization called "The School of Deepening." a few days ago and the subject was on "Thinking". It said, basically, when u think about something and play a situation over and over in your mind, it takes you out of your life and your experience and your flow. I appear to be being asked repeatedly to not think and to stay in the flow.
I'm in the transition process of: working with an amazing Coach, William Sumner, on fully stepping into my greatness; I am doing a food clean out after the holidays with wine, sugar, carbs and fat; I am in the process of ending a relationship that just isn't what I want, no matter how much i want it to be, that I have been involved in for the last 7-9 months, off and on; I am adding a whole new component to my business and hopefully my income making possibilities for the future; I am stepping into and loving the flow of the river and letting go of the fear that inevitably still pops up every once in a while. Lots of concious and unconcious discreating and letting go.
I strive to stay out of thinking about it all too much. I strive to go with what is presented to me and to stay with what feels good, light and effortless in my Body and Soul. I strive to trust above all, knowing that the Universe is ultimately responding to me and what I'm putting out there and doing..it is always my choice to show up and dance, no matter what, or to hide and shrink from fear of pain and failure.
I choose life. I choose love, gratitude and acceptance. I choose living my life fully, no matter what. No matter what I have to bring in, experience or let go of...
