Best Christmas Gift By Far!

-
Well Christmas came and went (thank god).  I watched as gifts were exchanged, thought put into some, the obligation of Christmas prompting others..  I sat and wondered isn't this what it's all about?  Giving?  Yet, as I opened another gift, it just seemed like something was missing.  That one "gift" that was given that didn't cost anything.  You know the one I'm talking about?  The one that comes straight from the heart the one that reminds you what Christmas is really about.  Giving of our heart.  The day was nearing an end and I had all but forgotten about Christmas, until I received a message.  It was from a dear person in my life who is currently fighting (strike that) working through change in her life.  The change included a key person in her life to not be there on this Christmas day.  I watched as she went through the day with a "numbness" about her, yet always with a smile for anyone that needed it.  I figured the holidays are tough enough as it is and if she can just hold on long enough it will be over.  Later in the day, she sent a message to the missing person, offering her love and support if needed.  You may ask yourself what's so great about that?  Well, it really made me stop and think.  Do you allow yourself to "love" regardless of the outcome?  Regardless of what others will think or say?  Do you allow others to love you?  NEVER can too many people love you.  Do you allow it?  Or do you put up walls and ignore the love and compassion that is being given?  Are you afraid to provide it to another?  For fear of rejection? Do you realize that love and compassion is a far better feeling than fear?  Do you love unconditionally?  She put her fears aside to provide a piece of her heart to another. Christmas is not about the presents, that we will eventually discard, but when the gift is a piece of your heart it will last forever.  I know she touched my heart----and it was the best Christmas gift by far!!!

Manifest It All!!!

-
Manifesting is different than wishing........Wishing is simple and overused, we wish our hair was longer, we were taller, we were sleeping while sitting in boring meeting.  Manifestation is our way to really get what we want and need for our higher good.  For our mission our purpose to help us and allow us to experience things we focus on to bring into our existence for growth and joy if done correctly.  Manifestation can and is a great learning tool and if we look at all we have manifested with intent of joy we can learn to manifest nothing but happiness. Manifestation can also represent the old cliche, be careful what you wish for you just might get it, especially when we yearn for something we had, but let go and then manifest it back into our lives.  Everything we currently have in our existence, we manifested.  The pillows on our couch, the trinkets on our mantels, etc.  Have you ever took the time to look around and really see the things that you manifested at one time yet hav

SOUL PURPOSE

-
I have found lately that all of the turmoil my mind has caused me was in a desperate attempt to find out my purpose and reason to be a participant in this world.  Was I here to save the whales?  Find a cure for cancer?  Was I important enough to have a purpose......I mean I hear it all the time that everyone has a purpose.  I was finding that I was becoming increasingly anxious in finding out what I was here to do, I mean what if it had eluded me for so long that I have wasted my time doing something I shouldn't have been doing?  I don't want to have to start over again, to have to come back and repeat the pain when I could have just done it this time around. So I have been asking and asking and then so defeated when it doesn't come back quickly.  I know that the answer has been there and given to me over and over.  I was just looking for more or a different answer I guess.   I found that purpose doesn't necessarily come from what you do, but purpose is actually what

Self Judgment

-
Judgment comes from our experiences, from the way we view the world, comes from our "beliefs" that we have learned and ultimately hold as our truths.  Wouldn't it be beautiful if we could release the judgment we hold in our heads, especially the judgment we place on ourselves.  I've been traveling down a path that was carefully orchestrated just for me.  I created it and when it became mundane or boring I added more.  Picture a  path in the middle of a beautiful open space.  At the beginning it starts just like the yellow brick road in "The Wizard of Oz" (I relate to the lion.....another blog :) ).  It is beautiful, big, and seems to go on forever.  There are portions of the road when I look further down the road where it seems to vanish (I know now those are the dips in my journey).  I can see a beautiful light, rainbow (I love rainbows.....they are magical) and the beauty from the light helps me continue.  I made sure the light came from above so even w
