~Lessons Learned~

You will continue to repeat a lesson until it is learned.  hmmmmmmmm.  This can be a very tiring sentence, especially if the lesson is ugly or scary.  So how do we find a way to learn our lessons quickly and once and for all?  You must take responsibility for your part of the lesson.   So often people look to blame others allowing themselves to play the victim.  This way of thinking keeps you stuck.  It allows the lesson to repeat itself again and again.  Once you take the responsibility that is yours you will find an entirely different way to look at the situation, allowing yourself to learn from it and then ultimately release it.  It really is that simple. So many have a hard time seeing their own participation in something, because it is so easy to justify your actions ~ either done out of love, wanting the best for someone, etc.  I've written about my lessons learned with my daughter often.  My justification was love-my reality was control.  Once I took ownership of my act

Isn't it funny that when we are in a state of positive thinking, we feel as though there isn't any obstacle in life we can't tackle.  Our actions become positive and we see life in a whole new perspective.  At times, we can't wait for the next second, next minute to see the beautiful gift(s) that are awaiting us.  Life is too short to live in the darkness, way too short to dwell on things from the past or worry about things in the future.  Maintaining the positive thinking can be tough at times but ever so rewarding.  Life is what we believe it to be.  If you continue to believe you are a victim in your own life, you will be treated as such.  Choose to believe that everything happens for a reason, even the bad. But continue to tell yourself, being the victim does nothing but allow more "gunk" to pull through life.  Be as thankful for the "crap" in your life as you are for the good.  If you didn't have the bad you couldn't appreciate the go

As I look back at this year, there have been so many friends who have lost loved ones.  I've watched as they struggle to find meaning, at times literally wanting to give up, at times things seem to get better and then next thing they know they feel like they have taken 10 steps backwards.  Many have reached out to me and I hope that I have helped.  As we speak, one of my daughter's friends reached out to me and I wanted to share with all of you what I told her about my insight into death.  " It eventually happens to everyone and as far as I am concerned if life is looked at in the right way, death is actually a wonderful thing. We don't grieve for the dead, we grieve for ourselves, which I can tell you isn't what our loved ones that have passed want us to do. They want us to remember them for the joy they brought to us and they want us to use that joy to keep them alive, by passing it on to others. We all come to this earth with a purpose and reason. Every

Do you believe in coincidences?  Luck, by chance?  Or do you believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason?  I believe there is a reason for everything that happens in life.  The bad and the good.  The way it is viewed can shape your life.  I am just as thankful for the "bad" or "unwanted" things that happen in my life as I am for the good.   I choose to look at the "bad" things in my life as an opportunity for growth.  Almost as an alarm clock indicating it is time to wake up and change my thoughts and/or actions.  Especially if the unwanted continues to show up over and over, and indication to me that it is a lesson I haven't fully learned yet.  It is at this time, I can try something new, whether that be a different way to look at something or a different action to take in dealing with the issue. I know that I have fully learned and accepted the lesson when the incident raises its head in my life again and I easily walk through it.  After time, what

Did you manifest with positive thoughts today?  Numbers are so amazing and when you see numbers, signs, etc. popping up it is your angels trying to get your attention.. 111-Monitor your thoughts carefully.  Focus on what you what, not want you don't want.  Be careful to push the defeating thoughts aside.  This sequence is a sign that there is a gate of opportunity opening up and your thoughts are manifesting into form.  One of my biggest signs........a feather.  They will show up just when I need them.  They provide me comfort and let me know that my angels are nearby and watching over me!!!  What are your signs?  Are you aware?  Are you living in the now and recognizing them?  If you are unsure, ask your angels to provide you a sign, be open to the process and you will see and "know" the sign they provide!!!!!! Be sure to live in the moment!!!!
