HERE'S TO LIFE ~ EVERY CRAZY, LOVING MINUTE OF IT!

You know those crazy energy days where everything annoys you and you just feel off? Well I had one of those yesterday. The internet kept going out, it was a nightmare trying to switch my email from one server to another (still not done) blah, blah, blah... I finally surrendered last night and decided to take a long, hot, relaxing epsom salt, baking soda, lavender oil bath, complete with candles. The perfect way to release all toxins in mind, body and spirit and to let go of stress. As I lay there in stillness, I prayed; I meditated; I let go. Ahhh...As I got out of the bath, I literally felt pounds lighter, as if huge weights had been lifted from me. My mind was clear, my body felt good and I felt happy and calm. I went to sleep so relaxed and slept like a baby.

This morning I woke up feeling amazing - in gratitude for all of life's blessings. I often get Spirit messages that just "pop into my head," so I picked up my pen and paper and wrote down what I heard:

"Less sugar. More vegetables, sauteed warm salads, more exercise. Speak your truth with kindness in all situations. Honor yourself with boundaries. Relax. Spirit/God is with you all the way. Release all worry. Let go and hand "it" over to God. "It" will be self-corrected and self-organized. Go with the flow and enjoy each present moment where miracles abound."

I leapt out of bed with a joyful heart and an attitude of excitement. I felt FREE! I jumped on my treadmill full speed ahead! As I watered the garden after breakfast, I heard "Look up" and I saw beautiful HEART and ANGEL clouds all around me. What a blessed gift. Another powerful message for me. It made my day! Thank you Spirit. We are always surrounded and embraced by our loved ones, our angels and Spirit.

I just feel so thankful for all the good and all the blessings in my life. Though life can be painful and challenging in many ways, I am reminded of all the LOVE and support of family and beautiful friends who so generously give of themselves and their hearts. You know who you are and I thank you.

We are here for each another and to remind each other that life IS good and life IS beautiful and that together, we can get through anything. So cheers to LOVE and to JOY and to LAUGHTER and to CHANGE and to PEACE and to this amazing present moment, the only moment that is.

Lots of LOVE,

Jenny

CELL PHONE MIRACLES!

Here is my MIRACLE STORY for the day...

I don't know what it is with me and my cell phones, (well computers too and all techy stuff for that matter!) but I was so done with my phone today! Everything that could go wrong with it did and has been off and on for months, probably years in spite of replacements, master resets, etc. The funny thing (not really funny at all) was when the woman I spoke with on the phone at AT&T last night for hours from the Warranty Dept. told me (after hearing all  the things not working on my phone)  that they had nothing to do with my phone not working and she couldn't replace it. WT?? That it was probably my fb app. ?? Let's see...No internet, no google search, no fb pictures, force closes continually and freezes, phone shuts off by itself and phone conversations die. What's wrong with this picture? She finally relented and said she would exchange it for the same phone. I said I didn't want the same phone as it was continually messing with my sanity! I went BACK to the Device Support Center today, where again I have spent countless hours, and while driving, asked MY angels to talk with THEIR angels and have it all worked out by the time I got there! Enough already! Sometimes you just have to take a stand, refuse to settle and not accept less than you deserve.

I spoke with sweet Angel Jessica, who just happened to be the supervisor. I told her I wasn't eligible for an upgrade until December and was told I would have to pay a $150 fee for an early upgrade on top of the new phone price and that that wasn't doable in the moment. Again, what they could do was replace mine with the same phone. I told her in a very nice way, NO, that I was DONE with this phone and was there anything else they could do for me? So I just casually mentioned to her that I EXPECT MIRACLES and sat down while she explored other possibilities. I kept repeating to myself over and over, "There is no order of difficulty in miracles. There is no order of difficulty in miracles." And of course I called in my kick-ass guide Kali, who makes the seeming impossible happen. So after hearing my dilemma and seeing all my notes in front of me from previous encounters, talking to Customer Care herself who were of no help at all, she took me next door to the AT&T store and asked me to pick out a new phone. When I asked the price, she said, "Don't worry, I'm taking care of it. There is no charge."

Thank you Jessica! I'm very grateful for her willingness to help me with this when no one else would and I gave her a big hug before she left. :) Miracles abound!

One of my favorite affirmations: "I dwell in a field of miracles..." (Marianne Williamson)

EMBRACING LIFE'S JOURNEY

Sometimes life's journey takes us deeper than we think we want to go...sometimes it's our own stuff and sometimes it feels like the heavy, collective consciousness of the world that weighs us down and settles in our hearts and in our energy field.

These last few weeks have been full of seeming insanity - shootings, fear, weather catastrophes, "loss" of loved ones, personal pain and all other kinds of  weird scenarios. Our immediate thoughts are "Don't go there. Stay positive, don't watch the news, don't feel the pain..." Well, I for one, have to go there, not to STAY there, but to BE there for a time - to feel, to cry, to sob, to pray, to release it, knowing that that this too shall pass. It's here for a reason, a lesson, a blessing - a reminder of the truth that ONLY LOVE IS REAL. It reawakens our passion and compassion for the suffering of our world...

The transition of beautiful Debbie Ford a few days ago hit me hard. She was (is) so vibrant, so honest and so instrumental in helping millions of people learn to love every aspect of themselves. I was honored to attend many of her seminars and book signings and her books made a tremendous impact on my life. I loved her laugh and her sense of humor and her passing at her age (close to my age) made me really think about my life. Am I doing enough? Is fear preventing me from doing more of my heart's desire? Why haven't I written more of my book? How can I serve more people in more profound ways? All of that comes to mind when we realize that life on this earth is short. We don't know what tomorrow brings. Debbie taught me so much and she will be greatly missed but her amazing spirit soars as she continues her incredible journey to heal our world from the other side.

Debbie taught us to embrace and love all parts of ourselves and to allow that Divine spirit to work and flow with us and through us. As a dear friend recently said to me...

"Be open to the blossoms of life. They unfold as beautiful flowers, each petal opening beautifully as part of the whole. Each piece of the puzzle makes up the total picture of your life. Follow the flow as there is beauty in the journey. Leap into the river and let the current take you where you need to go. Don't block it - let it flow. When a rock shows up on the river, flow around it. Give no energy to blocks on the river. Each rock is God and reminds you why you are here. In the flow, you find God. God is the flow, the steady stream and nothing can stop this stream. Put no energy into blocks."

The good thing is is that we are all in this together to be there and to love and support each other through the joy and through the pain...through the laughter and through the tears. And I think most of us do the best we can with the situations at hand, knowing all is truly in Divine order, unfolding for the highest good of all. And so it is...

THE JOY OF GIVING BACK...

As a Professional Organizer and owner of my own business "Organizing Angels," I love helping people let go of their clutter, stress and what no longer serves them. I love helping them organize their homes, businesses and lives, enabling them to move forward in their lives to a place of peace, order and freedom. So, my dear friend Rachel (who also owns her own Professional Organizing business) and I decided to team up as we often do, to donate our time to help someone in need. We created a contest, published it in a local paper that went out to thousands of people, asking potential winners to submit their stories and photos telling us why they thought they should be chosen as the winner of the room makeover. Wow...the letters we received were so touching, heartwarming and heartbreaking... We wished we could have chosen them all!

 This is the story of the courageous woman we chose:

 IN DESPERATE NEED!

 "Having my small home office organized would be such a blessing. It’s not only wanted – it’s desperately needed! I am closely reaching the point of not being able to comfortably do my work. Being that I spend most of my life in this room, I need it to be functional. I do accounting at home full-time and work some pretty long and strenuous hours sometimes starting at 6:30 am and quitting at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. The reason for these long hours is not so much because I am a workaholic (although sometimes I wonder) it is because my life is so hectic and busy. You see 7 years ago my aging mother came to live with my husband and me. She has Alzheimer’s Disease. At first it wasn’t as difficult but the disease has progressed and she requires help with almost everything now. She has very little income so we must struggle with this disease at home. This disease is heartbreaking and is difficult on everyone involved. It requires a lot of my time.

 As if that were not enough to deal with, my husband was in a terrible motorcycle accident in October 2011. He almost lost his life as someone hit him, he went down and a semi-truck ran over him. He was in intensive care for over two weeks and in the hospital almost 2 months. His injuries were very serious including a shattered pelvis, broken back in five places and multiple other injuries. His recovery will be a long and painful one. Although he is the best patient in the world and seldom if ever complains, he still requires help with even simple everyday tasks. Although he tries to help and be as independent as possible, most of his hours are spent in bed because of his pain. If he does get up and do things, he pays the price and has to be in bed for the next several days. He is also facing future surgeries, medical procedures and physical therapy so this won’t be over soon.

 I used to be a fairly organized person but these events have sent me for a loop (as you can see from the attached pictures). Between my job which I have to keep being the main source of support for our family now, mounting bills and medical claims, paper is everywhere! I feel I just need some help and tips on how to keep track of it all. I have tried bins and in-boxes but they seem to be filled quickly and paper is just piled up. I have even resorted to throwing things in plastic garbage bags! Unbelievable! The closest is just as disorganized. It makes me sick. I am embarrassed for anyone to see it and keep the door closed most of the time. Do you think you could help me get organized and stay organized somehow? I would so appreciate it because this situation won’t be over soon. My mess will be an ongoing problem. I also think having my office organized would reduce the stress I feel. I have tried to get my office under control several times and it all just seems to spring up again. Now the task seems overwhelming and every time I look at it I just stress in our home. I would feel better, be more productive at work and be better able to cheerfully take care of the people I love.

 Please consider this project in your contest. I hope you realize how extremely helpful this would be and what a difference this project could make in our lives.

 Stella"

Well, Stella's story touched our hearts in a big way! Rachel and I felt so grateful that Spirit brought us all together so we could help Stella and her family move through this challenging and painful time to create some well-needed order in their lives. We all talked and worked together in the office and closet and created systems that worked well for her, and yes, we even prayed with her when she asked for prayer support. This was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. We happily donated many more hours than we agreed to. When we left, we were all crying.

 Here is Stella's letter of gratitude:

 "Dear Rachel and Jenny,

 I have been meaning to write to you so I am so glad to hear from you! As you could tell I was so thrilled and touched with my new organized office! You both were just amazing! You both worked so hard. It is so encouraging to see that there are still people like you who are dedicated and hard-working. You not only gave me a wonderful gift of a comfortable place to work in again but you encouraged me and lifted my spirits. Thank you is just too little to say to express how grateful I am for your help. I am intent on keeping my office organized by implementing some of the techniques and tips you shared with me. I am taking your advice and going through a small pile of paperwork each evening. I could just sense how much you truly cared. The time you spent and all your effort did not go unnoticed. I thank God for people like you both who give back and help people. My husband and I wish you both every continued success. As you said in the article, I feel truly blessed to be chosen the winner but I also feel blessed that we got to meet such wonderful people like you both!

 Gratefully,
Stella and Bill"

 Rachel and I will continue to share our gifts to help others. We are on the planet at this time to help create positive change in our world. If we can uplift someone of offer a helping hand, let's do it! SO many people need support right now. What are you willing to do to help create more peace in the lives of others and our world?

 MAY PEACE PREVAIL within our own hearts, within our own homes and in our world...

BLESSED BE...

I spent the last two days alone, completely on purpose - no phones, no people. I could have gone flying or to my spiritual center or out with friends, but my heart chose to enjoy quiet solitude instead - meditation, prayer, reading, (well, yes, some fb too :) eating healthy food and watching recorded episodes of Oprah's Super Soul Sunday. Watching & listening to Dr. Jill Bolte Tayor and Michael Singer impacted me deeply and was life-changing for me in so many ways. Wow! There are no mistakes... I think this weekend of peaceful bliss came about in part, thanks to the amazing, full, Blue Moon Friday night. It just captured my soul as I walked with a friend on the beach, under the moonlight, having our little ceremony of releasing all that we have no control over and that which no longer serves us. The tide was high, the surf was wild and I was in my element! Of course the beautiful sunset I witnessed earlier filled me with love and gratitude for life. I was listening big, time - STOP AND JUST BE. Not always easy with the busyness of life, seeming painful challenges and everything else going on... But love, miracles and blessings are always around us...I walked outside in the cooler air to sit under the trees for a few minutes when just then I saw two beautiful butterflies flying together, and land on the leaves for at least 5 minutes. I watched for a bit, then ran inside to get my camera, hoping they would still be there upon my return and they were! I felt so much joy watching them, content with life and each other. They flew again, landed again and I was reminded how bountiful and blessed all of life is, if we just stop, breathe, look, listen, feel, smell the roses and be in not just our 5 senses, but our 6th intuitive sense as well, that guides us in all ways, always. Today, I am truly grateful to feel refreshed, replenished, and ready to move on at a deeper level, at a pace that doesn't zap my energy or drain me. All is unfolding beautifully if I stay out of my own way and allow Divine Spirit and life to flow through me. BLESSED BE...
