It’s been an inspirational year. We started in January 2015, and I declared this would be a year long commitment. My desire was and continues to be that you will grab possibility and make it your reality! I’ll connect with you again. Embrace your new beginning! Be the light…
HOMEWORK:
What do you want your new beginning to feel like?
What inspires you?
The other day, someone I care about did something that hurt my feelings. I felt the full impact of fear. My body was heavy, tight and tired. While sitting still with the fear, my mind opened enough for me to realize fear isn’t our natural state of being. It is natural to feel light and buoyant and curious. That shift in awareness allowed me to feel alive and love again.
HOMEWORK:
The next time you feel heavy, can you shed light on what you fear?
How can you bring yourself back to your natural state of being – – alive and loving?
We want people to be compassionate with us. Here’s the radical part; we have to be compassionate with ourselves and others in order to expect it from others! Compassion is possible when we are authentic, feel worthy, and accept as humans that we are sometimes imperfect.
HOMEWORK:
Are you daring enough to show yourself and others compassion?
Can you forgo protecting your self by blaming
We were all born with dignity. As babies, we cried out for what we needed; and more often than not, those needs were met. Somewhere along the life path, we were taught to stop asking for what we wanted as if it were not dignified to have what we want and need.
As adults, let’s reclaim the dignity in seeking what we need. Let’s be brave enough to expect our needs to be met!
Homework:
What thoughts hold you back from asking for what you need?
What can you do for yourself and what can you ask others to help you with today?
As you incorporate who you really are in your everyday interactions, you begin to realize who you are is enough. Your authentic self always feels more alive than your pretend self. Your authentic power is born inside you! It is time to reconnect and let it out!
Homework:
What three things can you do to show yourself that “you are enough”?
I’m speaking of the light within you that is your gift to share with all the people you greet. What do you do that seems so easy, yet people compliment you on regular basis? There lies a hint of your brilliance! Is it your smile that brightens the day of others? Do you turn a phrase that makes people laugh loudly? Does your intellect give way to new ideas? Whatever your gift, share it lovingly and watch how your brilliance lights up your every interaction!
Did you shine your brilliance today?
Can you compliment other’s brilliance?
Happy Friday!
Imagine a place deep inside yourself; it is your connection to all that is and has ever existed. I
named that space Grace. You are free to call it anything you like. The point of identifying this
deeply rooted internal space for yourself is to become aware that inside you there is planted
knowledge. Inside each of us there lives new budding ideas. This April, take a leap of faith like
nature is doing with budding trees and spring flowers pushing up out of the ground. Mother
Nature is coloring our surroundings with new brightness this spring. Is it time for you to color
your life with new bolder thoughts? Happy spring everyone!
Love and Be Loved
Seek first to find the goodness in others. It’s too easy to see someone’s flaws. We search for their missteps to protect ourselves from a real connection. Look for their beauty within. Really see the person, not the color of their hair, but the strength of their history. Allow yourself to have a more authentically positive human connection. We have hidden our desire for real human intimacy for far too long. Let us love and be loved this day and every day.
Can you allow yourself to be heard and seen?
Can you allow yourself to hear and see others?
