*It's important to be patient.

Things take time to manifest, to come to be, and if we are not patient, we could lose focus, be discouraged, even give up even before our opportunity arrives. Being patient gives the divine time to create and set up the synchronicities necessary to allow, what we desire to manifest. Patience is a blessing for yourself, for if you have learned this, you spare yourself a lot of unnecessary negative thoughts and stress, over worrying whether you will achieve or receive what it is you desire.

If you are going through a lot of changes in your life and are trying make improvements within yourself, do not become frustrated when things don't automatically work out. There will still be challenges and tough situations, where you will have to choose how you are going to respond. If you respond with integrity and honor, then remain patient and give it time and have faith it will work out. It takes time for things to manifest, or come into being, be patient, keep putting the right foot forward and wait for your opportunities to present.

I cannot stress the fact enough that you may pushed right to your limit but if you remain patient, and positive and keep doing the work necessary, you will see the benefits. Obviously this information cannot tell you how long you need to remain patient, but depending on what you are wanting to manifest, the amount of effort you put in, and the vibration of positive thoughts you hold about it, can either shorten or lengthen the time it takes. Some things can take months or years to fully manifest.

For instance if your dream is to create your own company, this will not likely happen in a week or even a month. This type of desire takes a lot of effort and will likely take months, even years of hard work to fully manifest. Remember and understand, a positive attitude and frame of mind, especially in the moments when you feel you are accomplishing nothing or nothing you are working so hard on, seems to be working out, to stay positive. This is where it really counts. Push through the stressful moments and situations, look at them as a test of your will, to get to your goal.

If you push through, you may find that not only did your patience pay off, but you received something even better than you imagined.

*Get out of the ''poor me'' pattern, and fast.

Falling into a ''poor me'' pattern can not only detrimental to your outside experiences, it can and will have a detrimental effect on your physical, mental, emotional, and psychological health. It is easy to slip into these times of self-pity. We all do it. What matters is how long we choose to remain here, and our choice of action and change of thoughts used to release us from it.

We all go through really tough and challenging times and sometimes it seems as though it will never let up, but these are just stepping stones on your way to evolving into a more responsible, better decision making, spiritual being. When these challenges come along, it is an opportunity to help push you along, giving you the choice to do things differently than before in order to get a different and more positive result. If you find yourself asking ''why me ?'' I offer you this thought.... Well why not ?

You are just as important as everyone else, and you deserve the opportunity to become a better person, to be given  the chance to see how strong you really are. These hard times are really big opportunities, so long as you don't start feeling sorry for yourself and get into a poor me frame of mind for expended periods of time. This will do no good. 

You create your reality with your thoughts and if you think poor me, the universe will give you more things to say poor me over, until you take the opportunity being offered to you, and realize it is not poor you, it is you being giving a choice to remain where you are or to evolve into your true potential.

So make it easier on yourself and choose to see the opportunity, rather than being stuck on ''poor me''
We would never know how strong and capable we are, unless we were put through challenges to show us.

God is within you.

Think about this, if you go to the ocean and scoop a cup of  water from it, is that cup of water still part of the ocean ? Would you still call it the ocean ? After all, it was the ocean just before you scooped it, and when you pour it back, it immediately returns back into the ocean when it hits the water.

Well the same analogy can be used for us. We were created from God energy. We are the same energy as this divine energy, we are a piece of it. If we were created from this energy and instantly return to this energy when our soul leaves this body you are in now, are we not that Divine God energy ?

YES WE ARE ! We have the ability to heal and create, manifest, and connect to energy. We are energy. We are very powerful beings of energy. We are starting to wake up and realize who and what we are.

We are never to fear God, for He is within us. We are this energy God and we are connected as a one consciousness. We all have the ability to create our reality and the once feared God needs to be seen as the beautiful energy that He is. We are a tiny part of this whole energy. It is a good reminder that what we do to and for ourselves effects the whole. Every being carries the same energy. Everything is energy. Everything is connected. This includes everything we can see, hear, touch , smell, taste, and sense.

God energy, Spirit, Christ, Jesus, Budda, creative source, which ever you wish to call it, it is within us. This energy gives us great amounts of strength, that the minority are starting to realize. It won't be long until the majority realize and awaken to there true being. It is like being reborn when you see the God within you.

You become authentically empowered. It is a learning process, awakening takes time. We have been kept from this information for thousands of years. We are learning all over again, while having to UN learn everything we have been taught prior. What a beautiful process it is, not an easy one, but one worth going the extra mile for.

Remember we are the as the water scooped from the ocean, only temporarily separated but still a piece of the whole.

*How can I tell if I am awakening spiritually?

You even  reading this tells you there is a degree of awakening with in you. You are searching for answers, you may not even be sure of what your questions are, but you feel the urge to search for who you are, the true essence of your being. When you begin to awaken it can feel confusing, overwhelming, you will usually end up with more questions as you receive your answers.

There is a lot that has been kept from us and you may feel a sense of relief as you begin to learn the truth. You may even feel upset or even angry that so much was not told to you, or you may find yourself feeling a combination of both. You may be experiencing physical symptoms along with the emotional symptoms. The physical symptoms may include fatigue, headache, rashes, unexplainable discomfort in areas of your body. This is you healing and the balancing of your energy.

Emotionally and phytologically it can be overwhelming, confusing and frustrating as the more you learn the more you realize there is to learn but the good news is at this point there are many who can help you and validate your feeling and help you work through them. 

Your energy is evolving to vibrate at a higher level, you are becoming less dense and more light. This creates drastic changes within your body and mind that are usually unseen but felt, or sensed by you. You may have an unquenchable thirst for spiritual knowledge, for the truth. You may feel anxious that things are happening but can't exactly put your finger on what it is. Any of these are a sure sign you are awakening.

You are on the right path, the only path to connecting with your higher self and all creation. Your hard work will offer great rewards as you become the magnificent human being you were meant to be. 

You may find as you delve deeper that many of the people who once were your go to people for sharing thoughts and ideas, no longer understand you and even try convincing you to stop the path you are on. They do this because of lack of understanding but this can make you feel misunderstood and alone. It is important to connect with like minded people to help support on this journey. Walking the spiritual path can make you feel crazy and question whether you are headed in the right direction. This is all normal and why you need to connect with those who are like minded. 

There is so much information out there in books, on google, and you tube. Keep searching you will find the answers and as you receive them, keep an open mind because as was mentioned before there is a lot that has been kept from us and some of the information you may come across may seem extremely far fetched. This is the truth of the matter though, is we are so much more than what we have been taught to believe.

Congratulations on your thirst for the truth. You are on the spiritual path and where it leads you, is to the truth. Keep searching for the answers, they are here, you just have to look.

*The very basics of chakras

Chakras are energy centers within your body. They are sort of a gauge of whether or not all the areas of your life are balanced. There are seven chakras and they each focus on a variety of areas in your life.

When an area of your life is out of balance, there is a corresponding chakra located within your body and it will come out of balance as well. You will probably experience discomfort in the corresponding area in your body. A good example of this is when you have a lot on your mind, or there is a lot of chaos surrounding your environment, this would effect your sixth or possibly your seventh chakra, leaving you with a headache, brain fog, ear aches etc.

The following is a simple breakdown of our 7 chakras, where they are located and a bit about what each chakra involves.

Your seventh chakra is located at the very top of your head, it is connected with the color violet. It's our connection to God/Creator and the divine guidance available. An unbalance here or a disconnection to your divine guidance, could possibly create symptoms of fatigue, headache, brain fog or confusion about what your true purpose is.

Our sixth chakra is located in the center of our brain in the pineal gland, and is associated with the color indigo. It is our doorway to divine guidance, insights and psychic abilities. An imbalance in the sixth chakra could lead to headaches, eye problems, memory issues, brain fog etc.

Our fifth chakra is located around our throat, it is connected to the color blue. It is connected with speaking our truth (with integrity), speaking up for ourselves, others, and what is right. An imbalance here could cause discomfort within your throat, sinus and mouth area, even the temporary loss of your voice.

Our fourth chakra is located around our heart and is associated with the color green. It is connected with love, how we give and receive love, and how we love ourselves. An imbalanced heart chakra could pose heart, lung and chest, arm and hand problems.

Our third chakra is located at our solar plexus, right below where your rib cage meets in the middle of your chest and it associated with the color yellow. It connects you with your will power, your ability to achieve and accomplish your desires, through your inner strength and having the will to do so. It is your "I AM". An imbalance here can create issues with the digestive system, ulcers, muscles, depression and anxiety.

Our second chakra is located in our lower abdomen, genitals and the womb. It is associated with the color orange. It connects us with our desires, creativity, self expression, sexuality, and procreation. An imbalance in this area can lead to uterine, bladder and kidney trouble, impotence, and lower back stiffness.

Our first chakra is located at the base of the spine and perineum and is associated with the color red. This chakra is what grounds us to earth, it is where our basic survival instincts come from. The root chakra when imbalanced is associated with obesity, leg and knee issues, constipation, degenerative arthritis and hemorrhoids.

So this is about as basic as it gets. There is so much more about chakras, their functions, and the balancing of them. It is well worth doing some research on this topic if you are unfamiliar with them. They play a very large role in our ability to heal and evolve and there is much you can do to insure your chakras are well balanced and better yet know when they are unbalanced and be able to better understand what needs to be done or shifted in your life to come back into balance.

*Hold yourself accountable

 Holding yourself accountable is being 100% honest to yourself. This is very easy to do, yet at the same time one of the most challenging things to do. Though it may be challenging, it has one of the greatest payoffs. It lets you walk with integrity and honor. When you hold yourself accountable, you tend to be a little ''harder'' on yourself in the way of managing your behavior and checking your intentions before acting or reacting to people and situations or when making choices.

When you hold yourself accountable for your actions, you learn that it's easier on yourself to think over your actions or reactions before hand, rather than after when holding yourself accountable leaves you feeling or wishing you had have done things differently than what you did. 

When you hold yourself accountable you are saying ''I am taking responsibility for my actions, thoughts, reactions, choices, behavior and so on, not only in the present but the decisions you made in the past that led you here to the present. You no longer feel the need to place blame on others for your life and where you are now.

You become empowered when you hold yourself accountable, for yourself. You take the responsibility of making good choices and then feel great when you carry them out. When you clean up areas in your life, that past choices left you in a mess, you will soon have fewer messes to clean up because you are conscious of your actions and hold yourself accountable and will begin realizing  it's much easier to make the better choice in the first place and spare yourself the less than great feelings of guilt, anger, frustration, and even self- pity after the fact.

When you take responsibility for yourself, your life becomes filled with pride, honor, integrity, knowing in every moment, that you are trying your best.

You begin realizing your potential and that you are capable of things you had no idea you could do or accomplish. You make better choices and decisions as you know you are accountable for your actions, nobody else, just you. 

This is very empowering and when you are empowered it makes making the right decisions easier, so it's a double win. You continually strive to better yourself, and the rest of humanity benefits as they have another good example to learn from, that being you.

*MANIFESTING - How it works.

Manifestation is the  creation of your thoughts into your reality. Everyone does it whether they are aware they are doing it or not. In fact, right now the majority of humans are creating their reality unconsciously. Which  really is quite a shame because when you create your reality consciously you are manifesting with intent. When you manifest with intent, you are focused on what you want and are prepared and understand the work necessary for it to manifest.

Ask yourself what you would like to manifest into your life, maybe a new home, a new job, a partner to share your life with, you can create anything within our human capabilities into your life. Whatever thoughts your mind hold the longest and strongest are the thoughts that will jump start what you manifest into your life. 

Your feelings and actions that follow are what will help steer you in the direction of what you are thinking. This is true whether you usually hold positive thoughts, or negative ones. To the world of manifestation it really doesn't matter, it just waits for the strongest thought vibration to come along and begins to create what you are thinking. You get what you think about, whether it's what you want or not, so always keep it in the positive.

When you become conscious of the thoughts you have throughout your day, many people may be surprised about how many negative thoughts cross your mind in a short period of time. No worries, with practice, over time you can train yourself to hold positive thoughts on a regular basis. When you catch yourself having a negative thought, just change it to a positive one right away. Don't disregard any thoughts that cross your mind, just let them pass, do not dwell on them if you find them to be negative or not benefit your well being.

Do however, hold your positive thoughts, the ones you would like to see manifest. Hold them near and dear to your heart. Hold them strong in your consciousness and see them manifesting. Feel the excitement over their manifesting into reality. Do the work necessary for the things you want to see created in your life. 

Manifestation is a combination of thoughts, feelings, belief and actions. Seeing as we are always thinking and feeling, we might as well use it to our advantage to create our deepest desires consciously, rather than creating all ''willy nilly'' unconsciously. Good luck !!

*We are not alone, other life forms are involved.

 Although this may seem absurd to some, that's understandable, as some time ago, it did to me as well. This is not information to try and convince anyone, it is to share the knowledge and research I have done. It is to plant the seed for those who are still unaware we are part of something so much bigger than we were told, that there are not only other beings out there throughout the galaxy but there has been communication to a great extent between the government and other beings that do not ''live'' here on earth.

This is not new information to some but for a lot of people this is very hard to imagine let alone believe, but I am expressing to you, that not only are we being contacted by other life forms but they are very involved with trying to help us balance out not only what we have done to ourselves but also what we have done to mother earth. There are also beings involved that are working against us for their own selfish desires. There are more than one or two types of beings that are in contact with us and this will be well known and understood in the very near future.

 Many spiritual people connecting on the Internet, are waking up to this and it seems, so long as your open to the possibility that we were, not only misinformed but flat out lied to, about the existence of other life forms out there, that with a little research on your own, you will easily awaken you to the truth.  

Think about it, what could possibly make us think that we could be the only life forms out here. This is a very massive galaxy with many, many planets in it. It almost seems ignorant to believe we are the only ones experiencing life.

Here are some flat out truths in regards to other life forms, their existence, and their contact with humans....
- Aliens have made contact on many occasions with not only average civilians, but with high ranking government officials.
-There have been and still are abductions taking place of not only humans but animals as well.
-These other life forms are and always have been involved with not only our creation but our evolution.
-Contact and sightings are becoming so numerous that the government can no longer keep it from the public
-The Government will be coming out with the truth very soon, the whole truth will be known before long.
-Many of our ''new'' technologies have come from extra terrestrials that traded the information for control and use of some of our recourses found only here on earth.

This subject runs very deep and the truth needs to be told.  I encourage everyone to start doing some research on your own. Start looking on you tube for things such as E.T.'s, Mayan calendar, aliens and government. Use your own judgement as to which information and videos are a reliable source. Remain open to the possibility that anything is possible in this magnificent experience called life and most importantly use common sense knowing there is no possible way we are the only life forms around.

*Are depression symptoms guiding you toward spiritual healing?

 Many symptoms of depression are signs that you are disconnected with your divine energy source. You are being called to see what you truly are, to be what you truly are, a magnificent being, capable of creating what ever your heart desires, with a limitless ability to heal yourself and be whatever it is your deepest callings are. A being that when connected and searching for answers has the full capacity to receive the answer to all your questions, with perfect timing.

Sometimes we want things right away, the answers to our questions can always be found within, but sometimes it takes time once we start looking for answers about ourselves and who we are, to learn how to see and recognize the answers when they come. To listen and follow through is a skill and a blessing that will start you on your path of healing.

It takes time to heal our past wounds or to even figure out what ones are still causing us pain.  When we are disconnected from our loving source, especially for extended periods of time, but even short ones, it is like unplugging your television or radio. You lose power. You are no longer connected, therefore cannot consciously receive the abundance of guidance and loving support that is always available to you.

The feelings of why bother, fatigue, lack of motivation, weakness, soreness, and the list goes on, these are signals that something needs your attention. Whether it be healing some aspect of your life, finding your true passion, letting go of people or outdated thoughts and thinking patterns.... connecting with your divine energy will create an energy within you that will ignite or bring to your attention what it is you are lacking, needing or having to let go of, in order to live in joy and peace.

This does not happen over night.

Everyone goes through down times, some may call it periods of  depression, contemplating where they are in life , what they have accomplished, where it is they want to go and who they truly are. If you have been suffering a long time with depression, you must be patient with yourself and be willing to work really hard through some tough emotional ''stuff'' and follow the guidance you are given even when you don't fully understand.

It is an ongoing process but the more you seek to connect with your divine guidance, the more you divine guidance you will receive, and the faster you will see the symptoms of depression transform into feelings of joy and happiness as you transform into the amazing creator you are.

Posting about destruction and devastation, manifests more of the same.

The posting and re posting of devastating articles, videos, and alike are posted by most with good intentions, but if you are a believer in manifestation, you can understand that posting these types of things, only adds to the energy that is needed to create or manifest these negative situations or make them worse than need be. All of this ''devastation'' is the natural healing process of our mother earth. We can, however lessen the total effect and force behind each event if we only hold and spread loving and healing thoughts.
Holding and spreading images of a perfect, healthy world will send out those type of energy vibrations, easing not only the over all effect on mother earth but for all of humanity and species in need of her stability. On the contrary, holding and spreading images of the devastation or anything negative, will send out those type of vibrations, contributing and worsening the effects of these catastrophic events.

Thought are things, energy that really does have power and the more people focusing on a particular thought, the stronger the energy of that thought becomes. No matter how good the intention, every time we reread, re watch, re post, restate, or even think about the destruction and devastation, we are manifesting stronger energy in this direction. This is by far from what we want. So keep it positive, always. This is not easy, nor does it mean to become naive about what is going on in the world, it just means be mindful of your thoughts, and what messages and thoughts you are putting out there.

When you understand our world is going through a shift like never before, and it is one we are in great need of, you can begin to understand that these catastrophic events are needed in order to evolve our thoughts, behaviours, attitudes, and to wake us up to what we are doing to this precious earth, and for us to remember who we really are, and what we are capable of becoming once again.
Pay attention to what is happening around the world, know that you can make a difference in the severity of it, by simply being mindful of what you put out there and hold within your mind. You do make a difference and although many have awaken to what is going on, we must make the effort to raise the over all vibration through our thinking and sharing of thoughts. Don't engage in conversations that consist of negative vibrations. Keep it as positive as possible, at all times.
IT REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE !!

*Are you a wounded healer ?

Walking the path of a wounded healer, is a path we all walk to some degree. We are all wounded throughout our life, emotionally, physically, psychologically, etc. We all have had experiences that create a sense of pain or discomfort. This is life. This is how we progress. When we are uncomfortable we are more likely to make the necessary changes, in order to evolve into our true potential.

Where the healer part comes in, is when you teach through your personal experiences to others, helping them on their journey of healing, or in moments of un-clarity, trauma, or uncertainty.  If you were to ask someone for help, would you not prefer the person who has lived through the experience themselves, who has the personal experience and first hand knowledge of what it is like to go through what ever you are requesting help with ?  Of course. This is not to say that others without the personal experience would not have a lot to offer you, but to have someone who understands emotionally, physically, mentally, first hand of what it feels like to help you, gives you a feeling of being understood, being heard and being seen.

When approached by someone, and asked to help them with something, it is comforting not only to them, but you also, to know that, you really can give some good advice to your inquirer. You remember what it feels like to go through something like that. You've been through that or something very similar to that, and have come out more knowledgeable than before. You now have knowledge or experience that gives you the ability to teach freely to those who need it.

To share your hard times with another soul who is suffering similar to the way you did, creates a compassion within you that really connects you to the other person. You understand how they are feeling. You remember vividly what it felt like to be in their shoes, the fears, the sadness or grief, the humiliation, the pain, but most of all, you remember how you came through it a better, more capable person, with the ability to help someone else because of your experience.

When your calling in life is to help others you may find that a lot of  ''stuff '' ''happens'' to you, and around you. I believe this is to increase your ability to fully understand and relate to those who come to you for help. If a healers life were all peachy keen, how would we possibly know what others are truly going through. Our understanding of each other would be so limited. Our view would be limited, flat, one dimensional, only knowing what they have expressed to us.

When we have lived through the experience ourselves, our view is more three dimensional. We were there, we experienced it, we got through it, and now we have the ability to share what we have learned to others, who are battling similar situations. You can give them hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that they can get through this and come out a better person from it.

The path of the wounded healer, is not an easy road to walk, but it is one with the greatest of rewards. To help another soul, someone who is seeking the rare information you have accumulated as a wounded healer, through your unique experiences, is the most wondrous feeling. When you have shared your time and knowledge to someone in need, that in itself is special.

If your fortunate enough to be around to see how your gift of sharing, helped to start or ease the healing process in that person, that is a gift within a gift, for seeing another benefit from your trying times makes the trying times easier to accept, for you are not only benefiting yourself by working through such situations but you now have the experience from it and can help to heal someone else who needs it. That is who the wounded healer is and that is the wonderful gift they have to offer humanity.

#Earth and all her changes.

Where do you stand with what is happening within our world ? There are so many opinions, so much information, so many thoughts and views about what is taking place here. There are many changes taking place, no one can disagree with that. One of them being the changes to earth herself Earth is very much alive and just as we are all going through major changes and upheaval in our lives right now so is she. We are all clearing away the old, cleansing ourselves. Even those who have yet to realize their spiritual path are feeling the pull toward spirituality and obviously we can all see the effects these changes are having on mother earth.

Although we cannot by any means stop or control the changes earth are going through, we do have the ability to soften each blow humanity and earth herself endures with each new shift. Earth quakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, flooding, droughts, they will happen but we must not put any energy in thinking about how devastating its going to be. WE MUST however put all our loving and healing energy thoughts into mother earth right now. This will decrease the severity, for when energies combine they become stronger and more powerful.

So when you catch yourself thinking negatively about the changes we are experiencing, change your thoughts and be sure they are positive and loving and knowing that this is all necessary for the great balancing of energies we are going through.

If we focus on the devastation, we are putting energy thoughts of devastation and suffering out and we can all imagine what that will do. We all can make a difference and if it's as simple as looking at something from a different perspective and sending a positive thought out, why not ? Do not engage in conversations that talk about the ''end'' of the world and the ''horrible'' environmental disasters. This will not help. This will only amplify the problem.

What we can do is learn to love and appreciate mother earth. A lot of damage has been done to her, and she is healing, as we are now. She needs our support, our love, our kind and healing thoughts. Doing this will create an energy that will not only be beneficial to her but humanity as a whole. When we raise the vibrational energy of our thoughts from focusing on the negative, to the positive, we raise the vibrational energy of mother earth as well. She is cleansing and this is necessary to move forward.

Hold her in your mind, in your heart and just thank her for supporting you, for providing you with the air you breath, the water you use, the fire, the food, the medicine, the wildlife, thank her for loving us, no matter what we do to her.

Give back to her, think of her now and everyday from here on out. Send her good energy, picture her in your mind and heart in complete health and she will feel it. We can all play our part lessening the suffering during the necessary shifts and changes the earth is going through, with simply being aware of our thoughts and keeping them positive and full of love.

*Why your friends and family may not understand your spiritual path

All of us here on earth no matter your age, race, gender, or how evolved we are, each one of us are at different levels of consciousness or evolution. We are all vibrating on different levels. This can make it confusing when trying to understand why, the people in our lives do the things they do, Meanwhile they have an even more difficult time trying to understand you and your actions.

Your energy may vibrate on a higher level than theirs, your experiences may have given you more insight on how to react or respond to certain situations, that are more loving, compassionate, and honest, than they have yet to understand or alternatively they cant understand why you are walking away from certain people and situation that no longer serve your greater good.

This may lead to misunderstandings between people who care about one another. As we evolve we become more compassionate, honest, loving, understanding, toward other beings and creatures. This can make others wonder why you are kind to those who did wrong to you, or how forgiving them is the right thing to do. This is a concept being brought into light, and to those who lead the way it can sometimes be challenging if you feel the need to defend your actions or explain your behavior on a regular basis.

Your friends and family may not understand the world as you do, and may verbalize this to you, they may even judge or criticize you and your beliefs. This is not something that everyone can just shake off. The stronger your beliefs, usually the more sensitive you are, and not having your family and friends support can be very draining, especially if you find yourself continuously defending your actions and thoughts.

So here is my advice to you, either agree to disagree or don't engage in conversations with people you know will argue just for the sake of arguing. If you know their beliefs are not in harmony with your own do not engage in a situation that you know will end with less than good energy. Everyone has their own beliefs they have accumulated through their experiences and if you think about it, who are we to say they are wrong.

They have a path set out before them, it is the same as ours and that is to evolve spiritually. All people will evolve no matter what. No matter were they are on their journey. Whether they are conscious of it or not.

Bless them, and just remain strong in your beliefs. Do not waver in your beliefs, just because someone disagrees or challenges you, and also remember you do not have to defend your beliefs...EVER. Try to avoid conversations you feel will end up in conflict, but for the ones that do, speak your truth, with love, knowing they will discover their truth as you did, in their own time. You don't need anyone to understand you (although it is nice) but you do need to understand yourself, so stay the course and be true to you.

*Why is it so hard to forgive and love ourselves ?

Finding forgiveness and an unconditional love for ourselves can be a very difficult thing for some of us to do. This is for many reasons, but one of the bigger ones being that we know what we have done, who we have hurt, the intentions of our actions, we know every single thought that has crossed our mind and some of them not very nice !! We all experience a sort of guilt or undeserving attitude towards ourselves for the things we have done in our past and even what we may be doing in the present.

We ask ourselves ''how could I have possibly done that ?'', ''how could I have made such a terrible choice ?'', ''why would I hurt someone in that way ?'', ''why am I making the same mistake or choice to this day ?''. Do any of these sound familiar ? Well if you know now, what you did in the past was not the best choice, then it was a learning experience and it should be remembered that way.

If you are repeating some old, useless patterns in you life now, in the present, don't be to hard on yourself. Life is a process and we all evolve in different areas of our life, at different times and speeds. No matter what though, you can forgive yourself and this is much easier when you consciously understand that you made a bad choice and have learned from the experience and make an effort to choose differently next time. We all deserve forgiveness.

If we were all to walk around feeling terrible about all the not-so-great choices we've made in our lives, what a gloomy place this would be. This earth has enough gloom, why not love yourself, forgive your past mistakes and work on your present issues, knowing you are evolving continuously and remember this takes time. Be patient with yourself. 

When you love and forgive yourself you automatically send love and forgiveness out to others and that is what we all need more of.

*To be facilitating, is acting out of kindness

Facilitating- Creating the least amount of resistance while conveying thoughts, opinions or ideas in a way that does not create friction and reduce cause for another to be defensive.

This may seem like a lot of effort or being overly nice but really its no work at all. If you are confident in your thoughts or ideas, you should not have the need for their approval, therefore you can offer your thoughts in the most loving way and accept what ever their opinion is, and move on or past it, even if they disagree or become less than friendly about it. Being facilitating, is thinking about and trying to understanding how the other person(s) may feel or think or react when you convey your ideas. Its simply having compassion for a fellow human being.

Being facilitating is trying to make something a little easier for someone else to understand. It is the ability to speak your truth in the most loving and honest way, regardless whether the other person(s) responds back to you in a loving and accepting way or not. Being facilitating is a preventative measure to lesson the resistance or defense response in another. 

It is imagining what they might think or question or have concerns about when you tell and trying to answer those concerns before they even have them, by including them in your initial sharing of whatever you wanted to tell them.

If you know what you are about to tell someone is going to cause a reaction, then ask yourself ... how can I say this without creating drama or an exaggerated response ? When you say things in a loving manner, and your intention is only to speak your truth, than you create a conversation that is more likely to end with the other person receiving and understanding your thoughts with less drama and defensiveness, and more understanding and acceptance.

*Don't take life too seriously !!

Sometimes life can seem so cloudy, and unbearably cold that its hard to see the good that is all around. This is true even for the highly evolved. When life gets tough fight back with humor. When something goes terribly wrong (according to your plans) step out of your emotions and observe what s going on around you, this will help you to see the bigger picture and see the possible reasons for your experiences. If we become too consumed in our emotions (which is very easy to do) we can miss the point of the experience, which is missing the whole point all together.

We only ''suffer'' in order to learn and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, giving us the opportunity to make better choices therefore creating the best experiences possible. Because the best is only wanted for us, the opportunity will keep presenting itself to you, until you consciously see the pattern and recognize there are other options that will create happiness and peace within yourself.

If we are so wrapped up in the seriousness of life and the overwhelming emotion that this can create, we miss the whole point of life. We are here to learn and while learning mistakes are made. We ALL make them and no one is exempt from this, so why not see the humor in our mistakes. Sometimes our tumbles on this journey can be quite funny, not in the moment but looking back we can say, ''why in the world would I have done that ???''  You see you know better now and that is the whole point.

YOU LEARNED. If you did not make ''the mistake'' how would you have learned ? If we must fall in life, sometimes hard, we should at least try and change the way we see our mistakes or negative experiences. They are full of information, it's just really hard to see when emotions are high. So when you find yourself in a fog of emotions, step out of yourself and ''see'' what is really going on.

Try picturing yourself standing on a beautiful bridge, and under you is the flow of all the emotions you are presently feeling, what do you see ? What do you ''see'' yourself feeling ? When you can see your experiences from this perspective you can analyze what is really happening and possibly why ? Just don't take it too seriously, it's happening for good reason. Spending a little time on the bridge observing your emotions will help clear up some confusion and make your current issue seem a little less serious and a lot more clearer.

Unhealthy relationship, a day in jail, 5 wks in shelter with 4 young children, what it did for me.

 IT WOKE ME UP !! Being in a very unhealthy relationship, while raising and home schooling, four children under the age of eight, doesn't seem to leave you with many options. That is till you get arrested in front of your children, spend a day in jail at the hands of your spouses lie, then live in a shelter for 5 weeks with your 4 children.

Its amazing what you are able to do when you have no choice. My point to all this is, where I am now, I wouldn't change for the world, and I have those really hard experiences to thank for it. That is what it took for me to wake up and get the hell out of there. Since then I have found myself. Became who I wanted to be, IT WAS NOT EASY BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT !!

Don't get me wrong life isn't always roses, there are still big hurdles and I am grateful for that because for I now fully understand that sometimes we need a very loud message so that we remember we can do what ever we put our minds to, especially if its with good intentions and for our greater good.

It was the hardest year of my life, between raising four children who all had their own individual needs, bogus criminal charges I had to go to trial for, family court trial to get legal custody of my children, selling our first home, moving, and dealing with the end of my 12 year relationship and not so much grieving it was over but the fact it was my spouse ( who was to love me and care for me ) who created this chain of events. I am grateful though as it was, what it took for me to leave which was for my and my children's greater good.    

I'm a good honest person and most would say it seemed unfair for me to have to go through it, but it is a year in my life I wouldn't change for the world. Hard times fall upon everybody, it is what gives us the push we need in order to gain better understanding of our lives.

My strength, my faith and self-esteem sky rocketed that year, and 5 years later I still thank God I went through all of it. It helped me evolve into who I am today, a confident, hardworking mother, who knows now, that anything can be done that you put your time, energy and thoughts into.

God Bless, and Bless God for your experiences.
