Love

 These can be challenging times for us all. Falling in love can be the breath of fresh air that lifts our spirit. It begins with our own heart.❤️

When the morning wakes you up, take this precious moment to breathe into your heart. Be conscious of your feelings. If you feel any negative stress, make the choice to let it go. Be present as you deeply breathe in and out and release any discomfort. Visualize the goodness of your precious life and fill yourself up with loving feelings. Fall in love! Falling deeper inside your own well of love. Open to your sweet spot that is waiting for your arrival. Connect to the joy that love creates. Open your eyes to love all around. 

Be the one who reflects this love today. Be the reminder of love with all of your relationships. Fall in love over and over again.❤️

 It’s Up To Me

Breathing consciously relaxes me.  When I am present in this moment I hear the sweet notes of my Granddaughter singing.  When I feel the joy of the moment I relax deeper into my heart as it opens to the beauty of my youngest Granddaughter chatting up a storm.  There is a lovely calmness weaving through this heavenly morning.

Outside of this summer Covid bubble there is stress, fear, worry and struggle.  Our world is changing.  Life is different for us all.  The future is unclear as we let go of what our lives looked like.

I really like the idea of living present and taking one day at a time.  Savouring these precious moments become a new foundation of stability for my inner being.  Releasing my fears allows my mind to rest with a knowingness that all will unfold in it’s own time.  Living present gives me a gift of peaceful grace.  

I know the suffering comes and goes.  How I respond to it is my responsibility.  The passage of time allows me many chances to try again and respond with love.  Today has a great opportunity to become totally awesome!

I’m willing to be conscious… It’s up to me.

Breathe into the hope that Grace has gifted you this morning. Grace gives comfort and a respite from stress and struggle.

The Universe Has Our Back

The Universe Has Our Back

Have you ever felt a safe and secure relationship as a child.  Someone who made you feel protected and guided.  Unfortunately I grew up fearing God and worried that I was never good enough to be loved by God.  Religion did not create a safe heart for me in my younger days.    I pray that young parents bring the love of God and the Universe into the family heart.  So as the children grow into their life they have a safe connection inside them.  Feeling that you are not alone in the dark is important to all of us!

Although our religion did not really make me feel secure my Dad did.  He was strong in his body and soft in his heart.  I recognize this feeling from long ago.  My Dad was the one that had all the answers and helped me solve problems.  As a child growing up I knew he had my back. I felt the same feeling when I met my husband Bruce.  He had so many qualities of my Dad and more.  The icing on the cake was that he too was a spiritual explorer and he matched me there.  It is really wonderful to live your life with a partner you can share everything with.  I don’t think we would have found each other if we had not found that safe place in ourselves.

My journey thus far guided me to an awareness that God was love and this love was in me.  Wisdom also showed me that the Universe is God and this is also the partner of our dreams.  Knowing that the Universe  creates a peace that opens myself to a life that supports me.

I also have so much gratitude and appreciation for a knowing that God’s love sits in the center of my heart.  The Universe has my back, God has a divine plan and I am safe and secure. When the going gets tough and fearful events arrive at the doorway of my heart, I know that I will always be cared for and I will find my way.  Knowing that I have such a powerful back up plan wrapped around my life keeps me safe inside me.

I allow the darkness to play it’s self out and breathe deeply into my connection within.  In time, solutions arrive and the light begins to open me to a better experience.  Trusting that I will find my way and having faith that a new direction will become clear gives me patience.

The Universe has your back too!  It is our privilege and birthright to be supported and all we have to do is take one day at a time and support ourselves emotionally, spiritually and physically.  If we do that… the Universe matches us.

The Goddess stays present with the wisdom and sacred partnership of the Universe.

Walking In Sunshine

Walking In Sunshine

Here I sit in front of our Lake as the morning light holds a mirror to its beauty. This lovely experience reminds me of the reflection I desire to be today.  Appreciation, gratitude and love becomes the reflection of my heart. If I walk in the sunshine I can carry the light with me.

I have a private, heavenly choice to be with any negative barriers that may find it’s way here in my heart.  If I breathe deeply into the dark spots within I have an opportunity to dissolve negativity.  It’s  just like when I am sitting on the dock under a cloudy sky and wait for the clouds to pass.  Eventually a ray of sunshine peaks over the edge of the cloud starting to warm my skin.  A little at a time the sun beams expand until a warming blanket covers my body.  This experience fills me as the warmth and good feeling of light opens my heart until I am full.  When my heart is full of kindness, joy, love and peace I feel like I am walking in sunshine where ever I am and my presence is felt warmly.

Our beautiful, warm love is our true nature!   Be the Goddess who walks in sunshine and shares it even if the sun isn’t shining.

I Know

I Know

I know you can get through this hard time.
I just know…
You feel broken and you are safe to share it with me.
You may crumble a little and lose your way for a short while,
 just for a few moments….it’s okay.
I know when you are ready, you will dig deeply, through the darkness, fear and anguish.
I know you will rise up through the landfill of emotions…
I know it’s not easy at times.
I know you can finish this and I know you will start up again.
I just know who you are and what you are made of.
Your courage has brought you here and your strength will move the mountain.
I know that real soon the light will show you the way.
I also know that inside your heart you know that you are supported.
In case you forget…I will remind you.
All I know right now is that I love you fiercely.

How To Deepen

How To Deepen

Someone has come back into our life.  Each of us, a new version of ourselves coming together.  I can only take care of my own heart.  I have had practice with this over the years.  Friends and loved ones have left abruptly or I have left slowly.   Emotionally or physically each experience caused a personal quest to dig deeper.  Once the judgment and blame had it’s way and became tiresome, I could look deeply inside me.  Taking responsibility where I didn’t speak up or take care of my feelings started the healing process.  Stretching into my past self doubts and fears sometimes takes a little time.  Forgiving myself and the other person could only happen once I released negative emotions that were ignited and charged. At times I would be so shut down with shame and guilt.  I was stuck.  Feelings just need to be felt.  Love wants to live and heal.  We are all all at different levels of learning, growing and taking a responsible look at myself creates the compassion to move into a new place inside me with another.  The opportunity is there, what do I do with it!

The depth can be attained and realized but does not have to be measured.   It takes two to tango.  If we are alone with our thoughts and only want to be right the healing ground may never show up.  Then one fine day we get an opportunity to show up differently.

For me, I begin to see clearly with compassionate awareness.  This feels easy for me as the moment brightens up my heart.  Intimacy creates the healthy communication that wipes away the past.  Here I am in the deepest part of me and will feel us differently together.  Arriving here took some precious time and it is worth it.  I can’t make it better for anyone.  I can only take care of myself.

The Goddess kisses the day that we both show up deeply.

Get Ready

Get Ready

When my sisters and I were 13 years old our parents took us out for dinner in Miami while on vacation.
They told us to dress up because it was going to be a special evening.  I remember feeling very grown up during our dinner at this swanky place.

The evening unfolded sweetly and then suddenly the curtains, right in front of us, opened to “The Temptations” singing “Get Ready.”  Everyone in the dining hall rose to their feet.  The fun and excitement will never leave my memory.  Our Dad especially, was so proud of himself that he had created such a surprise and gift for his 3 daughters.

The show is a blur to me but the feelings are always ignited when I hear the Temptations’ hit songs and I find my heart feels like it will explode with happiness.  Mom and Dad knocked it out of the park  for sure that night!

This experience shows me of how our life can surprise us every day.  I like to think that the words from the song “Get Ready” reminds me to get ready, because in each day, life will give to us.  Yes surprise struggles and surprise gifts are both in the cards.  I find if I take the time to prepare me for the day and get ready emotionally to feel open and centred, what ever comes is important to my soul’s evolution.

The more I get ready for the positive, as I anticipate while connected to my worth and value, the more blessings come my way.  So follow my lead and let’s get ready each day to receive the gifts and treasures of our heart’s desires.

Open up to more goodness knowing that we are all worthy.  The Goddess likes to prepare herself to be ready with this mantra.
“I’m satisfied where I am and open and eager to receive more good.”  Inspired by Abraham Hicks

Have fun getting ready!

Monsters In The Closet or Elephants In The Room

Monsters in the Closet and Elephants in the Room

We can all identify with the uncomfortable feelings of a dark scary monster in the closet.  We also can feel the elephant in the room if someone is closed about something or if we are trying to cover something up.  Both experiences are hidden gems if we face our fear and move the energy around it.

I remember as a child that if I didn’t check my closet and keep it cleaned out the darkness of night would bring me to fears and keep me awake.  It was apparent at a young age I would also feel others uncomfortableness and when I was with friends I could sense the air tighten if myself or others were holding on to hidden struggles.

Wether it is a monster in the closet or an elephant in the room I believe we leave our bodies when the pain of fear, the anguish of resentment or lies of self doubt rise up.  Our negative past experiences or ugly words of judgment become the barriers and burdens.

When uncomfortable negativities sit in my heart or attack my mind, anxieties rise up and shut me down.  Sometimes I don’t even know the source of my fear.  The most important response is to take care of it because all of these emotional negativities are mine.  Lies that are wrapped up with the ego’s hand prints all over it.  The ego takes over and the manipulation and invasion of dark unconscious feelings take over.  Please understand this gobbledygook is real as I am facing it head on.  Allowing it to rise up is okay because it has a mind of it’s own and wants to leave the body.  If I don’t take care of it I feel my critical, unhappy side close me down.  If I don’t  release it I will become the monster in the closet or the elephant in the room.  It’s my responsibility to clear and let go!

The Goddess free’s the monsters and opens her heart to the elephant.  She becomes conscious of what is going on, reveals the truth, acknowledging her pain and lets go of any negative thoughts, judgments and fears.

Sometimes if we shine some light on the fear or share our fears with someone the struggle can have a chance to unravel.  If we feel uncomfortable about anything take the time to acknowledge it. Say a prayer to ask for help and sit in meditation to listen for guidance.  Take action by going inward first and take care of what is trying to get your attention.

The Mystery Box

The Mystery Box

My publisher just launched a world wide social media campaign for my latest book “The Inner Workout.”  I am holding the space with harmony as I allow it all to unfold.

It has been an inner journey for me for sure.  Self doubt and uncertainties rise up to be faced, felt and released.  I remember when Bruce and I started ball room dancing, It took me years to fully let go and let him lead.  I believe I am doing the same with my life partner “The Universe, God, Higher Power” all belong to the same Source that lives in me and with me. When I let go of control I can consciously  let the Universe take the lead.

When my confidence in decisions and projects feel uncertain I try to put it in the mystery box because I really don’t know how it will all turn out.  It is out of my hands… letting go and trusting gives me peace.
It is a mystery what tomorrow, next month or the next year will hold.  Sometimes other peoples time lines are a mystery.

Where I need to go is inside with the knowing of who I am and the joy of my life in any moment.  When I dream of the future I have faith that I am on a good path to more love, peace, passion and purpose.

I continue to clear my heart of any fears or negativity with “The Inner Workout” and find my way to satisfied, acceptance and knowing.  When I let go of control the outcome of everything and anything becomes a perfect gift.

The mystery box holds the treasures and capabilities of what I will manifest.  Trust and faith keep my desires and dreams safe as I live happiness in the present.

I am here and the mystery box is on the shelf.

Many blessings arrive each day and I am grateful.

“I will know when I know.”

Dedicated to my sister Philomene Hoffman who  says, “let’s put it in the mystery box.”  She always reminds me about patience with the mystery.
     

Conviction Of The Heart

Conviction Of The Heart

“I know that the hardest issue for me is judgment.  Mostly judging myself.  This conviction of my heart abuses’ me.”

True experience!!  I felt amazing in my body and in my clothes until I was in the presence of my twin Sister who is 25 lbs. lighter.  I twist and turn with my feelings negatively towards my body and I see myself differently.  I have fought this battle with my ego off and on over the years.  At this time I can’t receive compliments and I hate when I compare myself.  I spiral into a negative vibe when I put on my clothes or see myself in pictures.  Of coarse this pattern continues to get my attention and disappoints me.  

I have been here before and finally see it loud and clear.  While I am going down this confusing stream of thinking, I attract experiences of being judged by others.  My emotional state is vulnerable.  I know that I am the one who is creating this encounter with self doubt again.

My attachment to others opinions or approval becomes apparent and I see where my disapproval of myself is taking me.  I am attracting experiences that offer up feelings of not being accepted.  While this is going on I see clearly my role in all of this.  Judgment magnifies my lack and the place in me that is disconnected from Source.

It’s all a beautiful wake up call  to fall deeper in love with all that I am.  I pray that I am finished with this issue again, as I allow another layer of lies take me to self doubt to dissolve.  I release the heavy burden of negative self criticism and open to the wisdom that lifts me up… My light body is loving.

We may all have days when we are not feeling peace or actively experiencing conditional love.  Convicting ourselves or others with negative thoughts or words keep us out of alignment.  Take the time to find your joy that is  your choice.  Our negative patterns stop the flow.  Create a deep conviction that will become your authentic choice.

The Goddess moves judgment out of her way and accepts the intelligence of love and harmony. Remember God never judges…only we judge.

Say to yourself, “ My conviction is to feel self worth and value in my heart.” I bless this experience.

Taste The Deliciousness of this Moment

IF I am in stress, tension and upset I cannot feel the comfort.  When I am uncomfortable,  breathing consciously and meditating will take me on another wave length.  When I redirect my heart to the good I can find the birth of a peaceful moment.

If I just can’t right now it’s okay.  I can stay in the misery or I can try to move it out myself.  If I cannot I try to do something else that makes me happy or think of something that creates a happier feeling.  Reading about enjoyment or listening to music is a game changer.  While doing so I can still breathe into my solar plexus where the negativity is churning.  Eventually the attention I am giving to myself and the change of scenery is a good thing….it is up to me.  No one else can control me or fix me.

Staying in the misery is not an option for me.  I desire to connect with the Goddess within and  taste the deliciousness of this moment.

At times it may take a triggering experience to arrive there.  Be patient and allow the delicious moment to happily find you.

Recieve

My mind body and spirit need the time and space to expand with stillness.  When I give myself the space to connect to this sacred space the more space I will attract.

It sounds simple but at times it’s not easy when overwhelmed.  Take it from me the ease prevails when I make the choice to allow the Universe to match me.

The Goddess finds her space each day and patiently receives the gifts.

Heaven Is Felt

My first Mother's Day without my Mom. The day took me through the pathway of emotions where I landed...a deeper coonnection with my life and truth.

I wrote this today....

Now that Mom is gone, I realize that heaven for me was in her heart. That is where I always felt uncondional love and a safe place to share my pain and fear.


She never judged or criticized me. Mom always made me feel my worth and she held me when I didn't.

I can be with her when I give to my children the same space and time. This connection of a Mother's heart was handed to me when I was born. 56 years of living it with her strengthened this sacred temple in me...

A MOTHER'S HEART CHANBER OF LOVE, FAITH, UNDERSTANDING AND HOPE.

Each Day

Each day is a new beginning, another opportunity to start again, to refresh ourselves and begin to live with more understanding.

Each moment is a precious time for connection within and with another.

Our pain is a doorway to more life.

Every struggle is the pathway to change.

All relationships are the reflection of our inner feelings.

Our breath takes us to physical, emotional and spiritual connection.

Illness moves us to healthy choices.

Time passes... yet being present with our full life creates the presence of more life.

Today let's begin again.....BREATHE.

Release any negative thoughts and feelings.

Forgive this or that...forgive him or her....forgive yourself.

Breathe into compassion....breathe into your heart that is open.

Shine the light as you breathe with ease.

Connect to the presence of love, joy, faith and acceptance.

Begin your day with gratitude...live your life with gratefulness.

End your day feeling peace.

Rest now .....

Dream and manifest your desires.

Begin again....another wonderful chance to be in love.

Make The Choice To Connect

I fed my spirit with time needed and reconnected to my daily pleasures and joyful nurchering.

No one will give us the time to take care of ourself, it is always our choice and our planning.

When days are so full I try to wake up with the sunrise and connect within as I breathe in consciously the precious moments of care giving for myself

Rushing around with deadlines and details continue to try to take me away from the importance of my needs.

Days seem to fly by and the detication to my health and wellness has to be woven into everything I do.

When I care and support myself I will be supported and resentment won't build up and make me a victim.

Uncomfortable negativity can be released when I acknowledge my feelings.
When my heart opens I connect to the presence and moving forward is easier.
I look at any emotional pain as a great opportunity to be with myself. Safe communication and intimacy with loved ones can be the pathway to awarness.  Choosing to care for my own heart continues to create a sacred space for anyone who enters my daily life.

Day and night time rituals keep me connected with my mind, body, soul and spirit.

Make the choice to connect!

You Is Kind...From the Movie The Help

What a moving and powerful film…THE HELP! If only each of us grew up with that mantra so that the lies of self-doubt and unworthiness would stop haunting us. In the movie the main character Abaleen (a black maid and nanny) would say to the 4 year old child that she cares for, these words each day…You is kind, You is smart, You is important. In the movie the mother would ignore her child and treat her badly. The little girl just loved Abaleen and told her that she was her real mom. She felt safe and loved in the arms of her caregiver.

As adults we can become shut down or reactive when we are shamed or feel unloved. Our childhood wounds create an ignition of negative thoughts and feelings. Needing others love and approval continues to keep us reliving patterns and relationships that make us feel not good enough.

It is our responsibility to take care of our emotional body. No one can fix us or take care of us emotionally. Our connection with our inner pain of self-doubt, resentment, guilt, shame and disappointment keeps us available to our own life. If we don’t feel lovable, kind, smart, important or beautiful than it is time to change our beliefs and plug into the void of love inside.

Plugging into someone else to get our needs met will not be healthy for us either. Walking on eggshells and becoming inauthentic when it comes to our relationships will eventually turn others off and cause us resentment and disappointment.

When we are needy for love we put up with disrespect and abusive behavior. Controlling others for love has conditions and creates unsafe experiences within any relationship.
Our void of love is connected to self-worth issues stemming from childhood beliefs.

Put the energy into becoming a healthy man or woman. Become authentic and attractive from within and attract your reflection.

Move away any negative feelings about yourself and become connected to your valuable, lovable and worthy self.

Look at your significant relationships and acknowledge the truth.

Discover how to love and be loved!
Say outloud! "I am kind, I am smart and I am important"!

Evolution

Evolution is happening all the time. It takes real time for all the pieces of the puzzle to come together. At each new level of understanding we can see how people, experiences and insight show up for us to see and feel the difference, the space, the joy and the peace. The puzzle starts to look like a divine plan, the tapestry of our journey. The struggle is our resistance to letting go of old habits and beliefs. When we let go of controlling our life and others, each part of our masterpiece can find its own way in its own time. When we allow others the same freedom we contribute to the evolution of all souls. Fear stops us from trusting. Fear can also let us know that there is something or someone we need to let go of. When fear is rising up, be still and breathe consciously allowing your connection to yourself and your Soarce can create the impalse to let go.
