BE PROACTIVE!











{February 28, 2008}   Gratitude Revisited

Gratefulness.

Gratefulness moves the energy around

just like a good walk,

like interacting with loving people,

like watching an exquisite sunrise,

and like eating wonderful food.

Gratitude, ahhhh, beloved gratitude.

You are my medicine.

I come to you

when

I fall off center.

I return

again and again

to you

to reflect on all

that you are to me,

a rope,

a life line,

a grounding force,

an island of calm,

even a kick in the butt

when my pity party is

tempting to pull me in to

celebrate the woe is me mantra.

Ahhh, gratitude,

you comfort me,

you align me with the flow again,

you guide me to see

what is right in front of

my face,

all around me,

all the time,

24/7,

you are the best gift of all.

I am blessed to know you,

gratitude.

I am grateful for

everything and everybody

that passes through my heart

on a daily basis.

And I am grateful

that I remember

to be grateful.



{February 25, 2008}   Authenticity

My authentic self

feels

deeply my truth

and

tells me

when to

take action.

The more authentic,

genuine,

real

I am,

the

more

my core self

speaks

clearly to me.

The more I allow

myself to really love

myself all the way out

to my edges,

the more the path leads

to authenticity.

The answers really do lie within me if I am aligned

with my authentic self.

The second I go into my painbody,

or into a place of fear,

a wall comes up

that blocks me from

hearing my inner voice.

I still am my authentic self

when in my painbody,

but the pain and fear

block the flow.

The answers do lie within.

Stillness speaks volumes

when I allow myself

to really go into

the stillness and

quiet as I allow

my authentic self to

come forth,

to just be who I am

all the way out to

my edges.

The answers come

easily then.

My truth shines through.

Just being real

seems to

trigger

real

life,

real

authenticity,

real

messages of truth,

and real miracles.

It takes alot of pressure

off when I allow myself

to just be real

and in the moment

here and now,

quiet and still,

without pretense,

allowing

all that is

to just be.

Expectations and

judgements

dissolve

in pure

real

authenticity.

I relax.

I let go.

I am

free

to be me,

and the answers

and the miracles

come forth.

I saw a

beautiful meteor fly through

the sky the other clear, dark night.

It was real.

It was miraculous.



{February 22, 2008}   Just Trust

There’s a time

when I just have to

toss my arms up in the air,

and go with trust.

Trust the Universe,

that everything will work out

the way it is supposed to,

that the momentum that is

building

will continue to build

as long as I allow

and act

and

be

in the love,

and

believe.



All day long I clean, clean, clean.

I love ho’oponopono.

I completely resonate with it.

It is simple.

It is easy.

The results are beautiful in all their divine imperfect splendor.

I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you.

I am 100% responsible for everything

I attract in my life.

Cleaning

clears the blocks

and brings me to the state of

complete and divine love.

I barely even comprehend

complete and divine love,

so I clean some more,

and take some more responsibility for everything

happening in my life.

And from there,

I open and feel

more divine

and connected to the Divine.

From there,

awareness happens

and miracles in all sorts of

shapes and sizes.

All I can do today is clean

the unknown memories from my cells

and take responsibility for everything in my life.

I am creating my life.

I am responsible for everything that occurs in my life.

And all of it…the wonderful and the troublesome stuff,

it is all good.

I love you.



{February 19, 2008}   My Heart Tells the Truth

My heart tells the truth

every time,

in every instance.

Heart = intuition.

Do I listen to it?

Not every time.

Yes,

intuition

works.

Yes,

my

intuition

is

correct

and

spot on

every

single

time.

Do I listen to it?

Do I honor it?

Do I believe in it?

Do I trust it?

Not always.

Ahhhh,

to live in complete unity with my heart.

To listen,

to honor,

to believe,

to trust,

this is living in my heart,

and loving myself

completely.

This is the place to be

to take action.



{February 18, 2008}   Surging Charge

When in action mode,

when Mercury is finally out of retrograde,

and yes, for a few days,we will still be recovering from that,

it is time to take charge of the situations at hand,

I am pumped up with electric charge and high

vibrational energy as

I say hello again with open arms

to my visions,

my dreams,

to opening,

to action,

to being proactive,

on all levels.

The electrical charge

is rushing through me.

I am on fire as

I allow love to fuel me

and as I rise up and

feel my power with love on my side.

Love is on our side

as we follow our passions.



{February 17, 2008}   Be Gentle, Be in the Flow

Plan A was flowing so perfectly.

But then it started weighing in heavy,

road blocks were getting in the way,

the flow quit flowing.

This is precisely the wake-up call

I need to listen to and

time and time again,

I don’t.

Because I think I am in the flow

even if a glitch comes up.

I get mesmerized by the fear

and I get stuck in the process.

Fear gets in the way.

Old fear.

That is the way I have operated

my whole life and to alter the pattern

midstream takes a bit of practice

to get good at.

Who among us hasn’t been trained to

default to fear mode?

I have patience.

Perhaps

this is the best gift of all

the Universe has bestowed upon me

these days.

Yet as I cultivate a proactive,

live in-the-love-because

that-is-where-the-answers-lie

lifestyle,

listening to the heart and guts

become very key

to all actions.

Practice, practice, practice

listening to my heart and guts.

Everyday I tune in and listen.

Today, I sat on the rock I love

to meditate on as the snow was

falling and it was completely white

all around me, and I listened.

Gratitude and love bubbled up

once again and a wise nudge

to be gentle with myself.

Be gentle.

We are so perfect in our imperfections

and growing happens with love at the forefront.

Now, on to Plan B where the flow is much

better.

Our Lakota and Dakota native tribes in the midwest

often say Ho to the Creator during prayer or ceremony.

‘Ho, Wakan Takan, ho.’

Wakan Takan is the the supreme deity,

personified as the Creator of the world

and all things in it in Lakota Sioux tradition.

“Hokahe!” is a phrase used by traditional Lakota

people during battle. It means “let’s go”.

Crazy Horse was known to use it to mean

“charge!” It can be contracted to just “ho!”.

According to a Lakota Holy Man, Eagle Voice,

as recounted by Nebraska poet John Neihardt,

it is literally translated as “Hold fast. There is more!”

Ho, ho…hold fast, there is more.

‘Ho to the flow’ as my shaman friend,Marshall always says.

Ho to your flow.



{February 15, 2008}   More Scribbles about Being Love

Be love.

The answers come,

the intuitive nudge comes,

the time to be proactive comes,

when I simply realize

one thing,

that I am love.

We are all love.

Now,

I can let go

and enjoy

and feel peace and calm

and good

about everything,

good stuff and hard stuff,

as long as I keep returning to love.

Love is an action word.

I am love and love

gives a whole new meaning to

the question from Miranne

Williamson: 

“What would love do now?”

Love is

everywhere.

I felt the ‘love hurts’ love yesterday

and let old pain come forth.

Crying heals.

Tears feel like love.

I gave my customers an “I love you” discount

yesterday.

They loved it and

so did I.

I felt more and more love

all day long as I told everyone I

loved them.

I focus on the possibilities of

embracing the energy of love,

I am proactive from a place of love.

A shift has happened.

I strive to stay grounded in love with

everything I do.

Nudges are easier to feel.

My heart feels more open.

I feel more clear about

doing it if it feels good.

We are all love.

Feel the love, baby, feel the love.



Wet

droplets

on

flower

petal.

Thin

stream

of honey,

a glistening

diamond.

Sweet nector

opening

to the heat

of the early

morning

sungod.

Rise up,

enter in,

encompass,

engulf,

ignite,

catapolt to the outer stratospheres,

inhale,

burn,

into the dark, warm cove,

safety,

touch the ozone,

suspend into deep infinity,

implode,

explode,

release,

exhale,

home.

Epiphany.



{February 13, 2008}   I Love You–Part III

Experience love.

Get out of my head.

Get into my heart.

My heart rules.

Letting go is an artform.

So is letting love in.

They require very similar actions:

To be open,

to be raw,

to be clear.

Love is hanging around

just waiting to fill me up.

I stand back and absorb it.

I feel it.

I let it in.

My heart starts to vibrate.

I would describe the feeling

like a huge hug that I can feel from my

feet to my head,

or a permanent warm fuzzy,

or

or

or

a state of total ecstasy all the time,

a radiating glow from the inside out.

Ahhh, to be in this state on a permanent basis…

yet, there is an ebb and flow to energy.

And that is ok.

Because life isn’t static.

I breathe in love,

I get out of my head,

and allow love to come into my core self,

I breathe out fear.

All I see is love everywhere I go,

love is hanging out everywhere

all the time,

all around everybody.

Reach out and bring it close.

Feel good.

Dissolve fear.

Feel love.

I have been taking action.

I have been a love warrior.

Some things work out,

some things don’t.

When the people around me

don’t feel the love and rule

with their head,

what can I do but love them more.

I sound like Jesus or Ghandi,

or Mother Theresa or Martin Luther King, Jr.

Yet, there is truth to loving more,

and fearing less.

One truth is that

love is always there.

Loyal, safe, ever present,

love is real and always there.

I love you.
