IT DOESN'T MATTER...


it doens't matter
it doesn't matter what the soul uses for it's growth
all paths lead to growth and adventure

what matters is that you're awake and conscious while moving through whatever it is that you're moving through

it doesn't matter if I buy the house or not
it doesnt' matter if I leave on a trip or not

it doesn't matter if you loose or make money....it's the journey....life is a journey....it's not a destination....once you think you've arrived..you're done! 
one you move, buy the house, get the job or have the baby....what's next? 

and as long as we stay in our comfort zones....we stay complacent...we think we know...we move through life rotely...

what's around the riverbend? 

it doens't matter if I stay or go...

what matters is that I am paying attention to the little voices inside....what are they saying...who is hurting, who is scared, who needs to be loved, who needs to feel safe

it's simply the soul's journey…evolution


Embrace Change: Adventure is out there!

AUTUMNAL EQUINOX - AN OPPORTUNITY TO PAUSE AND RE-EVALUATE

Are you living the life you dream of? Are you disappointed that you can no longer do the things you used to? Or maybe you're not enjoying the same things that you have in the past? 

Fall…The Autumnal Equinox, (the same hours of daylight and nighttime) is the perfect time to pause and regain balance in your life. The fall is a perfect time to pause and re-evaluate what's happening in your life. What do you like? What do you want to change?  Can you see things from another view point? Recently I had a client who was disappointed that she didn't go to the opening of the symphony…something that she has always loved to do in the past.

The opportunity..... stop and really feel into... how do you really feel about the symphony now? (Or whatever is important to you...insert your own word.) Could it be a real sense of loss or just the realization that everything changes and what was once important is no longer so. Things aren't better or worse.... they're just different!

It's imperative to honor how you're feeling and if it is a sense of loss then it's important to acknowledge that. But remember, you always have options. What if you looked at things from a possibility viewpoint…everything is possible! 

For example…Let's say you didn't attend the opening night of the symphony because you no longer linked  driving to the big city at night. What could some options be?
1. Ask a friend who is interested in the same thing that you are to go along and be the driver.
2. Drive in the afternoon, get a hotel, enjoy  a lovely dinner out, then attend the symphony…You know…make it a mini vacation.
3. Or, after careful consideration, "Do  still love the symphony or is it not really as important as it once was?  

You are always in choice! You get to decide!

For myself, I too am taking time to pause, reflect, evaluate, a personal vision quest in Kansas.

Happy Pausing!

We Plan and God Laughs

Remember the ropes course I did a few weeks back? Well, it seems like it's time to put the theory into practice. Letting go of what's holding you back…(the rope you're desperately holding onto)…perceived security... in order to move forward towards your dream.

The truth is….is what I'm doing now…working for a spa…moving me closer to my goal of speaking? No. Period. The answer is no. There's the hope that it would turn into something else, but the answer for now is clearly no.

I've been offered an opportunity to move in with my dear friend and help with his transition, what I do and am good at. Why would I say no? When I remember that I'm on assignment, that I work for Spirit and that I am free to move where the doors open, then the answer would clearly be yes. I go in support of helping others in transition. It's what I've chosen. So why am I panty-twisting?

Second guessing myself? In a retreat I'm currently facilitating, it's clearly about the journey. Why is this different? Because I had in my mind...the way my life should look….conjured up in my head…and now…it's not working the way that I thought it should…Who Cares? Me…my being perceived as someone who can't hold a job…etc…my own self judgments. Now even though this move is a better financial move and one that will help me to get this third book finished and published, I still judge myself.

"What about your cousins and daughter coming to see you? That'll be over! What about, what about, what about?" I continue with my mind-fuck. "You're apartment and the city and and and.." All illusions. We plan and God laughs.

Why, just two days ago, I spent time….a lot of time…looking at houses to buy downtown and fix up and live in. It would be easy to qualify for a loan with a 'job'! Now???

"Get out of your head and into your body,"my shaman reminds me. "Breathe….feel into it….not what you're thinking, but what you're feeling….And what feels right is that I work for Spirit and free to be on assignment. Period. And everything else is just stuff….
