It's said that the only control we have is in how we respond to the events in our lives. I wholeheartedly agree and yet, as evidenced by my recurring over-emotional reactions, some part of me has not deciphered how to "live" the positive potentiality of this belief. Then, this morning, a new perspective on old information emerged with the help of this quote.<< MORE >>

Life is fluid, alive and moving, not a static moment of knowing. The answers aren't all here (in the physical world) or all there (in the etheric realms). Life is false starts, adjustments, new perspectives, challenges, successes and failures. These are the ingredients for knowledge not knowing, for living not hedging. << MORE >>

Remember back to your childhood daydreams or imaginary playtime adventures, the ones we tend to consider whimsical and ridiculous now. Choose one of those and explore the energy behind it. Did you claim you wanted to be an astronaut? Could it be that you crave the adventure of new or little known realms? You don't have to go into space to follow the desire to explore new things.<< MORE >>

The pendulum, having completed this leg of it's journey, does what pendulums do. It returns, back past center, to the opposite side where darker feelings reside, and things begin to feel... well... yucky. Since I've basked in the fresh joys at the new wider edge of my (pendulum's) positive swing, I now zoom past the center point, cruise through all of my known ugly and negative thoughts and inch further into newly uncovered dark and painful places. This would be the point in the metaphor where I'm becoming particularly perturbed and my inner-victim dialogue rages.<< MORE >>

I do not typically remove myself from a comfortable bed at 4:30 a.m., but following that compulsion got me a front row seat for a performance of natural splendor. The divine beauty conveyed an impression of miracles to my mind and embossed that ear-to-ear grin onto my heart. << MORE >>

I recently stumbled onto a blogging challenge posed last year by Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net. My total number of blog entries is little more than twice what his link challenge entails, so I initially thought I’d be an inappropriate candidate for participation. Because I’ve been wanting to energize my writing and to get reconnected with and become newly inspired by my blog, I deemed this exercise a perfect catalyst. Plus, self-promotion is not a dirty word, and I get to highlight another blogger I admire. Bonus!<< MORE >>

An underlying inexplicable frailty prevails for me and daily life revolves…has always revolved…around its management with varying degrees of success. I have begun pondering the possibility that sub-par physical health simply "is what it is" for me. If that is indeed my truth, I have an opportunity to accept that and reconsider a few things. << MORE >>

An often repeated and retweeted quote has been tickling my awareness. Maya Angelou said “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song”. On the surface, this didn’t appear to directly correlate to my situation but, it kept coming back into my mind until I realized: we all have something to say… to the world… to our peers… to ourselves. My strong sense of “nothing to say” revealed itself to be, simply, resistance. Resistance to what I didn’t yet know. I made a shift and decided to up the ante and set out for a breakthrough.<< MORE >>

This post is dedicated to Syda, Carla and the power of Sisterhood (a true blessing of revolving support amongst a group of trusted souls). If you do not have these forces present in your life, I implore you to be open to the amazing possibilities they provide. On a recent morning, I lounged in my backyard, sipping coffee perfection... << MORE >>

I fell further to a place of gripe, grouse and grouch. It's an all too familiar state of being for my inner depletion junkie. (Oh the joys of a downward spiral). No matter how I imagined turning it around, no matter what positive affirming steps I took or soothing words of worth I spoke, I was stuck in that old story: spinning, stewing and revolving. << MORE >>

In December, one of my sister “journalers” posted the following phenomenal, thought provoking and movement inspiring journal entry.

Sometimes we have habits of doing... sometimes we have habits of NOT doing. Hot Damn! That's my deal.<< MORE >>

As a result of all this glorious downsizing, I received the full benefit of each and every exercise we practiced: as a coach and a client. The entire weekend becoming a valuable lesson in the power and beauty inherent in the act of letting go. << MORE >>

In essence, this is my version of "paying inspiration forward" and connecting you to what has inspired me! This first reposting share comes from a blogger who makes amazing practical real world connections for me out of the universal law of attraction we hear so much about today. << MORE >>

I've shifted into operating from a skeleton plan, instead of a detailed understanding of where I'm going. I focus on one small step at a time and allow those steps to add up to momentous forward movement, instead of seeing only the large expanse between where I am and where I want to be.<< MORE >>
