~Lessons Learned~

I read somewhere that a goal without a plan is just a wish.   Great saying but how do you make your wishes come true?  It's as easy as this.......live them as though they are unfolding and happening right now.  Again change your thought process from when this happens to I'm preparing for this to happen.  Do you want a new house, new car, a loving spouse, a successful surgery, a great job, loving family, happiness and peace in your life?  You and only you allow the carrot of your wants to dangle in front of you always chasing it but never catching it.   If you want a new house, car and loving spouse, appreciate where you are right now and begin to see yourself with all of it.  Picture yourself decorating your new house, driving your new car and spending time with your spouse.  Enjoy it, feel, smell it, allow the belief that it can be yours to fill your heart with joy as you know it is coming.  Great advice and something that most of us can do for a few minutes and then we all

I am a true believer in signs.  They are all around us providing us strength, assurance, or just comfort.  I use to ask for signs almost on a daily basis and they would end up popping up in the most random places.  Feathers, butterflies, dragon flies are very popular signs and when they are around spirit it surrounding you.   I recently received a sign in the mail from a very dear friend....keys.  The minute I saw them, before I read the letter, I knew they had a significant meaning and I knew it was my responsibility to figure it out.  So I sat in a quiet place with my cup of coffee, keys in hand and asked what I was supposed to learn or accept..........the answer actually freed me from a few weeks (okay months) of negative living.  For years I have been asked by so many how to let things go, how to change your mind and believe it, how to move forward when you feel stuck.  My answer was basically always the same, change your way of thinking to positive thoughts and stay with them a

"Relationships are mirrors of ourselves. What we attract always mirrors either qualities we have or beliefs we have about relationships." -  Louise Hay Take a look at your relationships, past and present...........what do they say about you?   Some of my biggest life lessons have come from people I have attracted in my life, due to my insecurities, self loathing, lack of self worth, etc.  They were some of the hardest times of my life and when I look back at them, I can see my part, my beliefs of myself and I know why they were a part of my life.  I now know how to look at people that are around me, or that I have allowed in my life and see their negativity, ugliness, hatred and realize I can't fix them and that if I allow them to play an important part in my life, my life will begin to crumble, for they are a warning, an alarm clock of where my self thinking meter is at.  Probably a good time to start forgiving myself, taking care of myself and loving myself.  Onc

Searching for what we already have...........how many of us do this over and over.  You know what I'm talking about, when you experience something, see something or feel something and you know deep in your heart, there's something else out there that's better and so you get stuck in the endless cycle of chasing the elusive concept of happiness. It was said best in the Wizard of Oz ......... YOU are everything you need. There is no reason to look outside for happiness and acceptance. When we look to replace people and things with something better, newer, bigger, we are really saying to ourselves that we are not enough. Once you learn to love yourself, you cultivate, nourish and grow what you have to be the best "it" (you) can be.  Wouldn't it be a better place if we learned how to appreciate what we have and be thankful for the "riches" that are already ours? Instead of replacing, how about enhancing what is already in your life?  Life seeme
