~Lessons Learned~

Doing readings tonight.  Please email me if you are interested in receiving one.....mrosetapia@gmail.com

In the last blog Your Heart..........I talked about a friend of mine and the current situation he found himself in. So do you think he called me?  Do you think he met the "other woman" or found his way back to his heart? Well here is the update.................Read this quote it speaks volumes of what is to come in this story!! My friend's wife continued to struggle with health issues after the birth of their last child and my friend continued to struggle with his inner self.  Eventually, his family wasn't talked about anymore and when I would bring them up, he would politely dismiss them with a "yeah they're good".  If they were brought up, it was always something that pissed him off.   I soon noticed that he was losing weight.  A few months prior, his wife had been encouraging his weight loss, packing him homemade lunches with notes encouraging him and even joined the mission with him.  When I complimented him on how lucky he was to have a

I had a friend come to me with an issue~his marriage.  He asked me if I had any idea on how his life had gotten so out of control, so overwhelming, and why he was filled with so much guilt.  I smiled as he asked (which he didn't like~but I couldn't help myself, I watched his life spiral out of his control for months).  He told me he had so much anger towards his wife and when I asked why, his response surprised him, because of the guilt I feel.   Hmm, I said sounds like a personal issue that you're trying to get rid of by blaming someone else.  I asked him why the guilt?  Friend:  Because I envy the way she loves me and I seem to be so superficial.  Before I go any further let me give you a little history on the past few months.  (Bet you'll see what I saw). His wife was pregnant (again #4 I believe) and he was so proud in the beginning.  The thought of another child motivated him and he wanted to get his degree, a better paying job, etc.  That's as far as that

I want to share my lesson learned today!!!  This month has blessed me with so many lessons.  I am learning so much and want to share with each of you.  I promise if you want to end inner turmoil.....make a commitment to yourself to calm the unruly child that seeks attention inside - this is your ego and move towards the spirit !! It is said, the spiritually evolved person who has few wants or attachments is relatively immune to grief, as the source of happiness originates from within and is not dependent on externals. Our egos are so strong, they tell us to seek happiness through image or value on "stuff".  Even relationships become over valued by our ego and our "need" for more.  Love and peace are the greatest threat to the ego.  BE AWARE THAT THE REAL YOU IS NOT THE EGO.  REFUSE TO IDENTIFY WITH IT. "Being Me"......what does that mean?  How often do you live your days by someone else's definition of life (a parent, a friend, the media, etc)

Wow!! My heart is filled with gratitude, love, and humbleness.  I truly love you with all of my heart.  You see, someone very special in my life spoke up today on my behalf when silence would have been easier.  I have always been the type of person to speak up and fight for others, especially my family and friends.  Many times it has put me in uncomfortable confrontations (yes believe it or not I don't like confrontations anymore than the next person).  But there is this uncontrollable part of me that when I see or hear someone being cruel or unfair to my family/friends, my mind shuts down and my mouth takes over.  I will fight for what I believe in and I BELIEVE in my family and friends~even if that means I fight alone!!  Often, I walk away feeling stronger and other times I feel afraid.  However, I still stand up for what I believe to be right.  I don't like to see those I love hurt, betrayed, put down or pushed around.  I remember in the seventh grade confronting the b

I wanted to write about love and uplifting lessons during this month, however, the journey I encountered tonight, pushed and nagged at my spirit and I knew I needed to share what I saw and experienced as a way to learn. The day started out peaceful.  I put up the Xmas tree, did some shopping and relaxed.  Later in the evening I ventured outside to all places the hospital.  On the drive there, I knew in my gut this was going to be different from all of the other times I had visited someone in the hospital.  I could feel I was actually in the present moment and that this was going to be a learning experience, that I would be a neutral being and that all five of my senses would be heightened.  I was so right.  I walked down the hallway and eventually found the room, the door was slightly opened and I could see the room was dark except for the glow of the television.  When I walked in I saw my family member in the bed, however, I could really only see the outline and I knew that at th

For years, many, many years I allowed ego to drive my life in such a negative way, yet I thought it was helping me, I understand now, it made for a very unhappy, unfulfilled life.  Sure, shit happened to me, just like everyone else, but I realize now, my behavior was learned.  I chose to live life the way I watched my father live life.  I mean he seemed strong, seemed independent, I sure thought he knew everything and his "selfish" attitude seemed to allow him to have everything in life he could want.  So I put the chip on my shoulder and allowed ego to guide me (YES, the spirit inside me screamed and called to me on a daily basis-but this time ego won).  Once I saw that ego could manipulate, that it could get me through life and I was actually getting things (by things I mean material) in my life, the ego only grew bigger.  I didn't realize then that when led by ego, the outside seems like a wonderland to others, yet your inside is hollow, empty and lonely.  The e

  Thank you to everyone that has walked through my life both GOOD AND BAD!!!  I've learned!!!!

As the end of the year nears an end.............have you kept your karma slate clean?   Listen to your spirit, to your heart, and know that the universe will always be in your favor as you do.  If you have strayed, it is never too late to come back to what is you!!  Make the decision now to move to the light and bask in its peace!!! YOU ARE DESERVING!!!!

How do you value yourself?  Does your value and/or self-esteem come from what you own, do for a living, who you date/marry?  Or does your value come from how you treat yourself/others?  The love and gratitude in your heart?  Do you know the difference? Ask yourself this...........is your wallet full of money and credit cards (for the younger generation), is your social media, facebook, instgram, twitter filled with pictures of yourself, your vehicles (possessions). OR Are they filled with your friends, family, girl/boyfriend, spouse, children? Do you make choices and decisions based on what is in it for you?  Self-indulgent? OR Do you think about how your choices will affect others in your life?  Do you give loving/kind words often? When you buy something for someone else......is bigger better?  The more expensive=love? OR Do you take time to think and listen to others and either make or buy that one thing you know they have always wanted because seeing them happy=happines

I am thankful for my friends and family in my life that have loved me unconditionally!!!  Thank you for allowing me to strive the be the best I can be.  Thank you for all you do for me each and every day.  BE GRATEFUL FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU !!!!!!!
