NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN LA...

2011-10-19T23:31:00.000-07:00

Excitement was brewing as Lorrie and I headed to LA from So. Orange County to hear Marianne Williamson speak once again at City Hall - Occupy LA. I went last week with Gretchen and the entire experience was incredible. (See previous blog.) As we exited the 101 Freeway, we saw police cars and police helicopters everywhere, the 101southbound entrance was closed and yellow tape blocked the sidewalks. Whoa...I'm all for fabulous and fun adventures, but...As we sat at the red light, FOUR bomb squad cars flew right by us! Whoa again...My first thought was something happened at the courthouse. And "Oh no, Marianne's talk will be cancelled!" We parked the car and asked the attendant if he had heard about the bomb squad. He just shrugged his shoulders and said it happens all the time. REALLY??? I'm so not in So. Orange County anymore. Not knowing what was going on, I thought I would ask my beautiful facebook friends for a little extra angelic protection for us, for Marianne, for everyone. Archangel Michael came to mind. :) Thank you all for your prayers. We are Divinely protected always.

We walked a few blocks to Occupy LA on the grounds of City Hall; It was crowded - people everywhere. One person immediately caught my eye - a beautiful young man sitting on the grass in the midst of busyness - meditating so peacefully, oblivious to the noise and crowds. I loved that! There was so much to see - the colorful tents, the creative signs / powerful statements, people meditating, conversing, communing, smiling, hugging, drumming, playing guitar, media interviewing, crowds gathering...excitement building...Hopeful change could be felt in the cool, brisk air.

Lorrie and I walked a few blocks to our favorite Chinese Bistro, Liliya for dinner before heading back to hear Marianne speak at 6 p.m. Not exactly sure where she would be and not finding her at first, we encircled the block several times, walking off dinner, meeting new friends as we went and finally coming back to the main hub of all the activity. What a perfect place for Marianne to speak and be heard. It was packed. Yeah! Just as she was about to begin, we were told that a huge rally of 1000 marchers - "We are the 99%" - would soon be marching up the same steps of City Hall where Marianne was speaking. Time to go with the flow and wait to see what would transpire! Who knew? Marianne (wearing fabulous boots by the way :) eloquently spoke of the history of the movement for about 20 minutes before the crowd approached. It was all very exciting - HUGE. We all hung around, observed, listened, watching the busloads of marchers and Marianne being interviewed by ABC News. Awesome! She had a brief minute on the 11:00 news speaking of the immorality of human suffering. I was disappointed they didn't mention her name, but we know who she is. :) I overheard two men talking about Marianne after she spoke, one asking the other if he knew who she was...that he heard she was a famous author, and "WOW, was she good!" I loved that there was a Course in Miracles Meditation group as well that we were invited to attend afterwards by some beautiful friends who attend Marianne's lecture on Monday nights at the Saban Theatere in Beverly Hills. Regretfully, we needed to leave LA and head home to OC. As we headed to the freeway, we were in awe of the beauty of the brightly lit skyscrapers embracing the night sky. Something you just don't see in OC. It was really beautiful.

This is truly an exciting time - history in the making. Tonight, the union workers marched, the bands played and a candlelight vigil enusued. Voices are being heard and changes are being created. I'm grateful for the opportunities to participate and to educate myself and learn more about this movement of healing change. I will be back as each week holds something different and unique...Things have to change and I applaud Marianne and all of us really, who have had enough of the way things are and who are willing to step up to the plate to speak our truths, to create new thoughts and possibilites and to stand together in this powerful movement for humanity's sake. And as we do so, we send our brilliant light and our passionate conviction into the ethers of Universal manifestation, ignited by love and one mind. May PEACE continue to prevail as Occupy the World continues to grow...

OCCUPY LA - "KEEP IT SMART. KEEP IT NON-VIOLENT. KEEP IT GROWING."

KEEP IT SMART. KEEP IT NON-VIOLENT. KEEP IT GROWING. ~ Marianne Williamson Occupy LA - October 12, 2011

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsz383SvaKU

Gretchen & I wanted to support Marianne Williamson speaking at City Hall at Occupy LA. It was a long, hot day, but no one really cared about the heat. We were too immersed in the message. Marianne speaks from her heart. She is brilliant, educated, courageous and passionate about creating positive, peaceful change in our world. Her words are impeccable; her message is powerful. She is a healer of humanity, believing in the good of people, equality and justice. She is an amazing author, spiritual teacher and global healer who encourages us all to step up to the plate to co-create miracles in our world.

I also wanted to educate myself more, learn more about what is really going on and be supportive of all the courageous people willing to do what it takes to bring about peaceful change. What an inspiring day! The energy was palpable - We walked around talking to wonderful people, observing "teachers" donating their time & expertise educating people in the crowds about economics, foreclosures, etc...and everyone coming together with loving, peaceful hearts. Not once in the middle of LA did we feel threatened, see or hear hateful protesters. I saw a huge spiritual oasis of love, unity, peace, enthusiasm, peaceful excitement and empowered people making a difference. So much love and peaceful change for humanity going on here.

Just as Marianne ended her beautiful meditation, (visualize hundreds of people sitting on the steps of City Hall with their eyes closed, praying quietly, listening to words of truth and hope) the sky was filled with flocks of birds encircling the courthouse and important Resolutions has just passed! That is the power of collective prayer! Angels were ever present...Miracles are happening NOW! I can't wait for her to speak there again. I hope it's soon. The day is etched in my soul...

Marianne had just done an incredible event at our InSpirit CSLOC where Gretchen sang for everyone. Marianne mentioned Gretchen's beautiful voice to the media before her talk and wanted her to sing a song...time ran out, but she & Gretchen are choosing a song together for the next time she speaks. How awesome is that?! You go Gretchen Almond! ♥

As Gretchen & I walked to dinner at LilYa Chinese Bistro in LA, (the food was fabulous!) we gave great gratitude for being able to FEEL the shift of miraculous change.... ♥ ♥

Making the commitment to be organized in the first place is an absolutely necessary component to manifesting your deeper dreams and desires. Organizing, which was seen as a luxury in the past, is a requirement for survival in the modern world. ~ Lanna Nakone ~

According to organizational expert Peter Walsh, 200 million people in the United States alone live in cluttered homes! In my years of experience, I have seen the incredible toxic and overwhelming effects that clutter creates such as anxiety, guilt, depression, illness, food issues, relationship issues and health hazards – not to mention precious time searching for lost items and wasted money buying duplicate items.

Life is busy! Many of us are facing stressful and tough challenges today. Wouldn’t it be nice at the end of a long day to come home to a safe, nurturing sanctuary that has a beautiful rhythmic order to it? Are you ready to transform your cluttered, chaotic life into one of freedom, calm and peace of mind; allowing you to free up your time for fun, family and friends?

A Few Baby Steps to Get Started:

Mail – Create a mail center. Sort mail as soon as you get home and throw the junk away! A few minutes every day keeps the piles from growing (that goes for all office paperwork as well).

Trash – In 5 minutes, you can take a large trash bag and move from room to room recycling old newspapers, junk mail, coupons, etc.

Drawers – In 10 minutes (set a timer if needed), a drawer or a portion of a closet can be organized.

Closets – Coordinate clothes by item and color to locate a favorite outfit more quickly. When purchasing a new item, be sure to donate something old. One in; one out! Joy Mangano Huggable Hangers double the closet space and are affordable (available at Costco, Bed, Bath & Beyond).

Baths / Bedrooms – Hang up as much as possible to keep clutter off the floors. Hooks and over-the-door hangers work well in closets and bathrooms.

Toys – Sort toys, crafts and similar items (ie: dolls, puzzles, musical items, legos, dress-up, crafts, cars, etc.) in plastic-labeled bins, drawers or baskets. Teach children to maintain order by allowing a few items out a time. Before new toys come out, the old ones should be put away.

Kitchen / Pantry – Categorize by item and expiration date with the newest purchases in back. Always throw away expired food items in the pantry, refrigerator and freezer.

Garage – Create zones (gardening, tools, party, memorabilia, holidays, etc.) Labeled, plastic, see-through, stackable containers work well to keep out rodents, water damage, etc.

Memorabilia – Memories live in our hearts. Keep what is truly special and discard the rest. Children’s art and schoolwork can be stored in large art folders. Or, take photos of children with their favorite stuffed animals, art, etc. and create a special photo album.

Remember, keep only what is beautiful, brings you joy and is useful. Let go of anything that makes you feel guilty when you look at it; regardless of the cost or if a family member gave it to you. Recycle, pay it forward or donate items to those who can really use it.

Simplifying our lives is key. Less is more. It’s time to honor and respect the beautiful people that we are. As we release the old energy, we open up and create the space for amazing new opportunities and possibilities!

DIVINE RECONSTRUCTION

2011-04-04T16:03:00.000-07:00

Before the Japan earthquake, I had a "dream" where I was shown the before and after photos of a steel bridge or pier over the ocean. The "before" was intact; the "after" was mangled and twisted. It was when I awoke, that I heard of the earthquake & tsunami. The words I heard very clearly in my head were "DIVINE RECONSTRUCTION." It gave me the chills, but reminded me to pay attention to messages of guidance and to pray for everyone and everything. Prayer is a powerful conduit for miracles and may dispel any situation. "There is no order of difficulty in miracles."

This is the time for radical change in our world ~ time for the dismantling of the old paradigm that is no longer working and building now only what is REAL ~ with passionate integrity and compassion for ourselves, our earth and our world. Right now, for so many awakened and conscious people, it’s about aligning our vibration with the higher consciousness of Divine Spirit and with each other - connecting to truth, not to the seeming reality of the destructive chaos so prevalent in our world.

We are always given opportunities of preparation for change. We can choose to listen or not. Tuning into our intuition, we can adhere to life's changes more easily. We can torture ourselves with prolonged resistance and fight the change we know is for our highest ultimate good, OR we can allow our hearts to be broken open in order to release the old, move through our fears and simply go with the flow. Listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer on Hay House Radio today, he reminds us (not exact quotes) to "relax, let go and listen...to detach from all the stuff, to welcome in the new and exciting expansive changes our souls and our spirits are screaming for. Staying with the familiar makes soul growth impossible. Live fearlessly."

All is on purpose. As we love and pray for each other and our world, miracles are happening now. The old ways must dissolve so the new can emerge. Courage, strength, faith, kindness and compassion continue to emerge from broken hearts. Clarity follows confusion. Joy follows pain. Light follows darkness. Resurrection follows crucifixion. New life follows death. It’s all a process of Divine enfoldment.

I am grateful to be sharing this lifetime's journey with all of you as we each do our part. We are all in this together, as WE ARE ONE.

In love and peace...

FROM TOXIC CLUTTER TO RHYTHMIC ORDER...

2011-02-07T21:10:00.000-08:00

For those of you who don't know, I am the oldest of ten children, mother of two grown children and grandmother "Nana" to five beautiful angels under the age of four. My business is Organizing Angels and I LOVE helping you move forward through seeming challenges, releasing what no longer serves you, which includes people, places, events or things, as well as old beliefs that keep you stuck in the muck of the past. Now there's room for new possibilities and opportunities to magically flow into manifestation. I'm all about helping you visualize and create your safe and peaceful home, implementing a system that works uniquely for you.

Do you know that 200 million American people in the United States alone live in cluttered homes? I heard Peter Walsh say this on his new OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) show "Enough Already!" (A great show, by the way) Wow, is all I can say! It's no wonder the world is in the shape it's in...The toxic effects of clutter are catastrophic in our world today and include, stress, anxiety, overwhelm, chaos, relationship issues, weight gain, food issues, depression and illness. And it's not just adults who are affected. It's your children as well. They learn by example. What are you teaching them? Get rid of the STUFF! It's not worth losing your health, your family, your sanity, your world. Keep only what is useful and beautiful to you and get rid of the rest. LESS IS MORE.

We all know the world is going through some major shifts, especially right now...what is not structurally sound or is out of integrity is simply falling apart and disintegrating so that the new and the real may emerge. Many of us are facing stressful and tough challenges today and wouldn't it be nice at the end of a long day to come home to a safe, nurturing space with a beautiful rhythmic order to it? No more lost items or misplaced important papers. Nor more wasted money buying duplicate items you know you have somewhere but you just can't seem to find! Stop allowing your piles and paperwork, to take over your life. How long are you willing to drag these heavy burdens around with you 24/7? They are draining your precious energy and sucking you dry! And they prevent you from enjoying your family and your life. Envision peace and calm and breathe that in...

Most children have an innate desire to be organized and WANT to be organized. I have found that they are usually so willing to put their toys, books and crafts away IF they have a designated place to put them. Allow your children and grandchildren to take out a few things at a time and then put them away before taking out something else. They won't be overwhelmed at clean-up time, and they'll know where everything is next time around. Children feel good, happy and proud to be a part of the de-cluttering and organizing process. Allowing your children to open their beautiful hearts and to feel the joy in donating excess to those who have less or none ~ to pay it forward ~ is one of the greatest gifts you can give them.

It's time to honor and respect yourself enough to ask for the help you need and then be willing to be open to receive it. You deserve it! And you CAN do this! Baby steps...are you ready to transform your cluttered, chaotic life into one of FREEDOM, peace of mind, order, vibrant health & weight loss, improved relationships, happy families, more time for fun, a sense of pride & well-being and a beautiful sanctuary to come home to?

Remember, we need to do our part in healing our planet. Peace in our world begins with peace in our own hearts and peace in our own homes. EXPECT MIRACLES!

MIRACLES!

2010-12-11T17:30:00.000-08:00

"Tis the season for MIRACLES! Never has it been more apparent than now that we could use some major miracles in our lives. Life can seem like an eternal roller coaster with all of it's crazy and energy-draining ups and downs, but we can choose to view it as a wondrous gift if we're willing to see things from a higher perspective. I believe in and expect miracles, because the truth is, there is a much bigger picture going on. How exciting it is to know that miracles are about to show up! Thank God / Goddess that this is so or many of us may have checked out long ago...

The Universe is at our beck and call if we are willing to ask, believe, accept and receive what is inherently ours. Living in the present NOW moment keeps us attuned to what IS right now. And right now is what we have. It is our choice right now to love this moment, to be in this moment, to learn from this moment and to give gratitude for this moment. When we get out of our own way, stop worrying about things that are out of our control and surrender to Divine will, MIRACLES SHOW UP WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT THEM.

I know the power of prayer and surrender has the ability to manifest incredible joy and excitement! I have experienced several profound miracles these last few weeks that my human mind wanted to deem impossible. But my heart and my soul knew the truth of the highest possibility. Wow...NEVER GIVE UP! Know you are worthy and deserving of all the Divine Intervention, Divine Love and Divine Compensation the Universe has to offer you. In the magic of this sacred holiday season, give great GRATITUDE for all you have and all you are, and remember that nothing is impossible with the angelic magic of Spirit working with us and through us to be the empowered, compassionate and amazing beings that we are here to be. EXPECT MIRACLES!

BIRTHDAY BLISS!

2010-08-03T20:12:00.000-07:00

I’m feeling such gratitude for all the joys and blessings of my birthday. It was such a special day, week, month...I was showered with so much love I felt like a true Goddess! Sacred time with friends, walking on the beach - my bare feet sinking in the sand and the ocean waves...Taking pictures of all the beautiful treasures on the beach brought me such incredible joy! There were HEARTS everywhere! It was definitely a day of love. The simple pleasures...Breathing in the ocean air, being surrounded by unconditional love and joy. Birthdays are an amazing and powerful time of celebration, ritual and FUN! It’s a time to visualize, set real intentions, let go of the past and forge ahead to create and manifest magnificent new realities. Birthdays are a time to truly honor the beautiful spirit within and to shout out to the Universe...THANK YOU! Thank you for my life, for my family on earth and in Spirit, for my friends, for my incredible and loving Goddess Sisters, for my joyful spirit, for my excitement for what’s next, and for all the blessings and miracles that encompass every cell of my being! I may be 57 years young, but I feel light and free, feeling such peaceful excitement inside for who I have become and who I am becoming. I celebrate my very being and thank you mom, for giving me life. I love you so much and celebrate with your spirit every day! I celebrate with my heart that is opening joyfully to more love, compassion and forgiveness than I could ever have imagined. And I celebrate with my soul that connects me to all that I am and helps me to remember the innate wisdom already within. I celebrate with all of you who have supported me on this wonderful, sometimes painful, joyful, crazy journey I’ve chosen. I’m grateful for each and every day as I say “thank you” for all the lessons, the experiences, and the gained wisdom bestowed upon me by wise masters, loving guides and sweet angels. How blessed I am! I am truly excited for the next phase of my life as I walk with my head held high, confident in my willingness and burning desire to do God / Goddess work. With arms outstretched to the heavens, I shout out to the Universe, BRING IT ON!

Embrace the Wondrous Change!

2010-07-14T19:09:00.000-07:00

Many of us are on quite the spiritual journey with some crazy, amazing, painful, joyful and powerful twists and turns that we couldn’t have ever imagined! Sometimes things go in a completely different direction than we could have ever thought possible. Thank goodness the Universe knows what it’s doing! It will simply not allow us to say in situations that are toxic, negative or that no longer serve us. Don’t fight it! Change is fabulous and it cleanses our souls with healing powers we didn’t know we had. If we are willing to surrender to what is and allow change to sweep us into a new existence of possibility, amazing gifts are unveiled. Incredible blessings emerge as we are thrust into places and situations we couldn’t fathom in our mere mortal minds. The syncronicities unfold magically as we tune into our intuition and listen.

Trust is a the key...trusting in the process of life ~ moving forward with no expectations of how it will unfold – instead, knowing that it will and feeling excited anticipation of what’s next! It goes back to our precious FREEDOM... Freedom to think, to do, to be and to follow our hearts.

I am so grateful to be on the planet at this time as I learn, share, love, grow, scream, laugh, cry, be! Each day is a new & unique experience. Joy, miracles, synchronicities and unexpected fun surprises await. What an incredible journey. C’mon Spiritual Travelers, Goddess Sisters, Prayer Friends and Planetary Healers… it’s time to fly with love, joy and passion to our next adventure! Are you on board?

WE CAN GET THROUGH ANYTHING!

2009-11-15T18:10:00.000-08:00

With the power of God/Goddess/Universe working with us and through us at all times, there is nothing we cannot do or overcome! We live on this earth; We feel its pain; We tend to carry the toxins of others and the world. But the truth is, we are spiritual beings in a human body. We are not limited to the five physical senses. We are intuitive beings with a powerful sixth sense that provides us with valuable tools to guide our paths, keep us safe and shielded in a seemingly crazy world and help us make the right choices. And we need to listen to our voice of knowing. There is such a bountiful supply of love, guidance and Divine assistance if we just open our eyes, our ears and our hearts to receive it.

We are here in earth school to learn, grow, stretch, find our wings and move forward – sometimes through seemingly horrific situations. The Universe does not support us in hanging on to what is toxic or what no longer serves us and will “push” us out of our safety nets at the perfect and right time. We can choose to be angry and paralyzed in fear or we can see the gift in each situation and learn to fly. It’s time to be reaL...

As we listen to the news and succumb to the woes and fears of the world and this physical existence, let us not fall into the negative pit of fear, scarcity, depression and hopelessness. We cannot help heal the planet from the darkness of hell. Let us rise above the battlefield to view from the higher perspectives of the heavens all the wondrous good, beauty, love and abundance that we know is the truth. We send love, light and prayer to all those in pain, who are suffering and don’t understand why. We ask the Divine healers to remind us all that we all have a powerful presence and purpose on this planet; that everything we go through is for our highest good - lessons in surrender, strength, empowerment, love and trust in the Divine plan. It’s a gift of growth, often in disguise, to propel us into our best life ever – to create a life of integrity and heart-felt compassion for others and ourselves.

Our souls are screaming to be set free of the chains that bind us so that we may move through the muck and help others do the same. We are here to support and heal each other. As our light shines into the darkness in others, it brightens their paths. We are here to share grief, loss and pain, yes, but to move through it! The world needs our love and light so let us dance with joy, laugh with our best friends, sing passionately, snuggle with our children and grandchildren, share warm smiles, say “I love you,” often, pay forward random acts of kindness and compassion, enjoy picnics in the park, nurture Mother Earth, hug trees, breathe in gratitude with the ocean waves, honor our bodies with down time, healthy food and exercise, appreciate ALL of our blessings and believe in ourselves – that we are beautiful, powerful, loving creations of God who have gathered together here, at this time and place to do some amazing and wondrous things...how blessed we are!

SWEET SURRENDER...

2009-10-17T11:45:00.000-07:00

SWEET SURRENDER...

Ahhh, sweet surrender...sometimes we just have to let go and let God. We know there is a beautiful order to the Universe so why do we often feel the need to interfere with the timing of the Divine plan? Try as we might to want to control our life and force things to work as we think they should, Spirit/Universe steps in (quite powerfully and humorously at times!) to remind us that we do not always know what’s best for us! When things seem crazy and out of control, it really helps to step aside and become the observer in our own life. We are then able to see and know that all things will and do flow and unfold at the perfect and right time – and always for our soul’s greatest growth. If we simply allow life to be - to listen and heed our guidance, we are certain to be graced with unexpected and amazing gifts and insights. We are blessed with powerful miracles and opportunities that we might have missed.

"I am willing to get off the uphill battle-road of struggle and breathe deeply, as I float down the river of serenity, peace and surrender."

...And we move forward as empowered and loving souls, doing our best, honoring ourselves and others, setting our intentions, and placing any and all challenges and pain on the Universal altar of God/Goddess, knowing without a doubt, that all is on purpose for the highest good of all. And for that, we are truly grateful.

“Today I Surrender.
I lift my hands to Thee.
I acknowledge Divine Presence and Divine Power as the only active force in my life.
I surrender any attachment to outer appearances.
I surrender the toxic emotions of my physical mind to the pure essence of Spirit.
I surrender fear. I surrender shame.
I surrender anger. I surrender resentment.
I surrender control.
I surrender to the Power and the Presence that is Divine Will in active motion.
I surrender, knowing Divine Mercy and Divine Grace always work together for my good.
For this I am so grateful!
And so it is!”

~ Iyanla Vanzant ~ One Day My Soul Just Opened Up ~

The Time Is Now...

2009-09-26T20:40:00.000-07:00

It’s been a long time since I posted on this blog… Life is busy and has taken me (and I know many of us!) on this very interesting journey, rather tumultuous at times, to the land of surprises and unchartered territory…it has truly been a wild ride of immense joy right along with intense challenges. I have experienced the glorious highs and the fetal position lows as I’ve bobbed up and down on this river current of powerful spiritual growth. Many lessons and truths have emerged along the way and as always, I’m in awe of all the good, the blessings and the miracles that continually present themselves so beautifully in the finale…

I continually move forward in this process, stepping more and more into the higher potential of my true self. I let go of what no longer serves me… no longer allowing toxic and abusive negativity nor energy vampires to suck the life out of me. I no longer reign powerless as I finally realize there is no need to defend or explain myself to those who just don’t get me or can’t hear me. As Iyanla Vanzant so beautifully says: “When you stand in your truth, those who love you will stand with you. Those who don't will fall - - over you. And, you need not pick them up!” I’m learning how to step back and allow others to have their own unique experience, one they contracted way back when…without trying to fix them. I send love and light and allow the natural order and flow of the universal good to simply be. And I allow my God/Goddess-given strength to propel me magically into my new world.

I am on my God/Goddess mission to love, embrace and heal all parts of me, knowing that as my light shines, it allows others to shine. I lovingly acknowledge my beautiful soul Goddess sisters who are with me every step of the way on this incredible journey. We support each other with love and honor and belief in our good. My children and grandchildren have taught me things I never thought possible… Life is amazing and wondrous and filled with so much good! Beauty is everywhere, if we just take a minute to stop and look at what’s right in front of us. Joy radiates through the smiles and laughter of our grandchildren. Peace is inherent within us, when we slow down long enough to breath in deeply the powerful energy and Divine wisdom that permeates our entire being. Our creativity and intuition gently whispers to us when we take the time to pray and meditate, allowing the ever-present love and guidance of Spirit’s essence to embody our every cell. Judith Orloff writes, “Through prayer, we are infused with energy.”

The time is NOW! It’s time to create and manifest what we truly desire. No more settling for what’s not acceptable. No more compromising because it’s easier. It’s time to kick down those roadblocks and stare down the fear. (Yes, even when Mercury is in retrograde!) Our souls are screaming for truth and passion to burst forth to create our genius, our heart's desire. We are meant to share our experiences and gifts with others – to push through the pain and chaos to the richness of clarity and freedom on the other side. With the power of God/Angels/Spirit/Universe working with us and through us, there is nothing we cannot do. Marianne Williamson says: "Moving mountains is nothing compared to what you can do." We already have everything we need within us and with open hearts and open arms, we accept with great gratitude all the good the Universe has to offer ~ an abundance of love, vibrant health, wealth, joy, laughter and peace - whatever it takes to bring light and peace to our world.

Namaste

Freedom is a Precious Thing...

2008-07-03T17:41:00.000-07:00

As I post this on the eve of Independence Day, I am in such gratitude for FREEDOM and the joys of simplistic living. We hang on to so much "stuff" and it ends up owning us! As we release what no longer serves us, we now have the time and the space to enjoy what truly matters - our children, our grandchildren and our special family and friends. We now create the sacred space for quiet time with ourselves in our peaceful sanctuary - to open our hearts and to renew our souls. Let us take the time to walk in nature, run on the beach, browse through a bookstore or connect with the magical essence of our garden flowers. Let us take the time to read our favorite books, meditate, laugh or sing and dance with Spirit! Let us breathe in the beauty of life and let the freedom to make the choice to live happily in this present moment, ring true for all.
