Is Your Third Eye Blind?

"We all have ability. The difference is how we use it." -- Stevie Wonder

How much are you using your abilities?
Follow what brings you joy and discover new talents...

It is amazing how much Stevie Wonder can see with his spirit and soul. You try...

Alone Is Not Always A Bad Thing If You Like Yourself

"You can not be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with." -- Wayne Dyer

I used to think that nobody really wants to be alone. The older I am getting I can appreciate that time to reflect within myself and find more awareness to who I am. It is hard to sit down and meditate on a regular basis for many people. If we practice this and enough time passes it will become a habit in our lives.

More and more people are finding that meditation helps with so many things:

• Emotional stress
• physical relaxation
• finding resolve to issues in thought
• finding inner peace and awareness
• learning to listen to yourself (your spirit and energy)
• learning to trust yourself
• learning to have faith in yourself
• learning your value in the universe
• So much, much more...

There are so many benefits of meditation that it is hard to put them under an umbrella. If you try to find what works for you I am sure you will end up with something suited just for you. Everyone has a different energy and way they deal with things. Your enlightenment can only start if you are willing to let the light in and see more of your own dwelling.

You have an obligation to make yourself important to the world! This is part of the intention of your presence. You are here for a purpose. If you allow yourself  to learn and be helpful in the world that surrounds you, then you are on the right path.

Your energy is critical to helping the universe do what it needs to do. If you find yourself alone embrace the time to allow personal growth and pay it forward in life. It will be amazing what the universe with give back in time. Those lonely times were for a reason.

Are we ever really alone?

Remember that I am here to encourage you to remember your value. It is easy to see this trait in others before seeing it in ourselves. However, we can not forget that we have good traits ourselves and that if we use those traits to help others it is a win-win situation.

We are all here for a reason...

Everything Is An Experience

"Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.” ― Victoria Holt

There are often times we become frustrated when things do not go our way. It can be something of great magnitude or something very minor that we were hoping for. No matter what the disappointment brings it also comes with knowledge.

It gives us knowledge and future insight for other things that will come. Everything we do in life is connected and there is purpose for all of it. We will never know the total purpose of why we go through what we do but, you can know it your heart that it was meant for you to learn from and grow.

It is just one more addition to your portfolio of life. Something to add to the reservoir of experience. You never know when you may need that information again in order to help another. Empower yourself with your moments and see them for all of the possibilities they can bring.

As always I encourage you to enjoy life outside of the technology and disconnect sometimes. Many people try to do this on the weekend. Whatever time that you have each week try to decompress from being overloaded. Just let yourself be...

Smile at the sun this weekend and watch how much more stride you have in your walk~

Remember Giving Up Let's The Bad Guy Win

"When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place." -- Unknown

I don't know about you but, giving up to me means that "The Bad Guy Wins". It is something that I tell myself that covers the negative bad man. Could be the devil, could be anything or anyone that would like to see me fail. This gets to me and it keeps me motivated!

Try something that may work for you. There are many times that I could stop, give up, ignore, ect but, I do my best to keep moving forward.

If you really try hard at something it will be work. After all you are working hard at it, so why wouldn't it be hard?

I just want to encourage you to try and get through the things you need to with all your might before you decide it is enough. Good luck! I believe in you!!

Who Are You Really?

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” -Dr. Seuss

Who are you? What really brings you joy? What makes you fill up with smiles? Find a way to do it and make a living at it. This is on of the golden keys to happiness.

It is not always easy to know who you are. We spend so much time involved in others lives that we sometimes get lost.

I am on a voyage to find out more about myself. I encourage you to do the same. Personal growth within ourselves is part of our life's purpose.

Embrace your life and enjoy your moments! : )

You Can Still Find Joy In Loss

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose;
All that we love deeply, becomes a part of us.-- Helen Keller

On the first of this month my daughters grandfather was in an automobile accident. He passed away from the injuries on April 9th.  It was a very surreal time and still is. It was local and approximately one mile from his home. They say most accidents occur close to home and this came true for him. It seems strange with her grandfather having traveled all over the United States, to have had an accident so close to home.

A head on collision at normal speed claimed his life and the events through the whole process has been horrible. In the past I have dispatched for emergency assistance for over thirteen years and it is still hard to believe. How do you continue to try to find energy to keep moving through life when there is always something?

Everyone has something. We all deal with situations every day. I am relying on my own life coaching skills to get through these times. Even when we know what approach to take for healing it is still a struggle. Our way to deal with it is familiar with the quote from above.

By remembering the love that involved her grandfather is our way to get through. Thinking about him still being part of us and our family is a comfort. We take this with us each day and will continue to share the lessons in life with others.

Whatever your loss may be, whatever your sorrows are, remember that there is a purpose that this was put in your life and remember the positive and joyful things about it. Learn from any negativity or hardships that you endure. We are never alone with God's wind at our back.

Life can often be unexplainable and confusing but it is here for us. If your present in the world, make sure to BE PRESENT, in your moments of life. It can be taken gone at any moment. If you are still here then there is a reason for your presence. My daughter says that her grandfather has a new place to be present, but his memory was built for us to remember and connect with in our lives for now.

That brings me comfort...

Have a day that makes you appreciate everyone and everything. It is all here for a reason... 

It is the artwork of life...

Remember To Bend and Not Break

There are times when it is just hard...

It is what you do at that time that matters...

Sometimes we bend so hard that we starting to resemble a tree in a hurricane!

We can make it through the storm with each other...

Keep Moving When You Hit A Wall

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.-- Michael Jordan

It is hard to keep moving in the direction you were going if you hit a wall that stops you for a moment. It is our job to allow ourselves to feel the sting and be stunned for that moment but, it is what we do after we catch our bearings a moment later that matters.

We shake ourselves off and often feel as though we are done. Is there really a solution to the problem now? It is easier to give up than to keep pushing toward that finish line. Sometimes we just have to rethink our approach or change the focus. This inevitably can help you get to where you need to be.

Just remember Michael Jordan. He has taught the world more than basketball. When we want to give up, lets think of a solution and not stop trying.

As long as we truly give it all we have, how will we know if we could do it?

OK, time to bounce...get it? Jordon...basketball...never mind. :)

Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you.

Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you.

  Aldous Huxley.

My experience was not "Good Times."

 It was painful, depressing, and enlightening. I had broken my wrist in three places. The Dr. said the word "shattered," at one point. All I know is that when the cast came off I wanted to faint. Faint and get sick to my stomach! I had to remind myself over and over how others have it so much worse than I do right now.

My accident was not glamorous my any means. I had slipped taking the trash down during a down pour of rain. The trash men rushed over and asked if I was ok. All I could do was say "I think it is broken!" They opened the door to my house and I called out to my family. Off I went to the emergency room.

While I sat there trying to be patient and brave, I felt like a little child who wanted their parent or caregiver to hug them and tell them it would be ok. At the same time I wanted to be totally alone. I was in shock. The mantra I kept saying over and over in my head was "There are other people upstairs in this hospital and they are dying. You will be ok!" I began to think about other people who have had several injuries at once. Waking up from an accident and different parts of their bodies feel like just this one place on mine. This way I could tune out my pain for just moments and wait my turn.

My turn came and I ended up having to have surgery. A metal plate and three pins were placed inside my wrist. The rehabilitation has had its moments but, what can you do? You have to work through the pain to keep moving and get your strength. This is very parallel to life isn't it?

Appreciation is the key! It could have been worse. I came close to hitting my head on the landscaping beam. It was dark and storming outside. Everyone was asleep but my trash crew. It was nice to see them run to my aid so quickly. The human spirit is alive.  I have learned many things during this experience and I know how hard it can be to stay positive at times.

If we give up, the bad guy wins. I think we are all worth fighting for!

Have a day of appreciation for everything! All things have their purpose and it is what you do with your purpose that counts.

You can count on me and I know I can count on you~

Are You Listening To What Your Soul Is Really Saying?

Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.  Plato...  Are you a good listener?

Listening to the conversation in your heart and mind let you hear what your soul is saying.  How many times have we said to ourselves, "I knew I should have, I knew I shouldn't have, I had a bad feeling about that," ect... Your soul is an intrinsic part of your being. This is nothing new to us. Life Coaching yourself, or as I like to say "lifecoachurself," is a lot of listening to your soul.

I encourage you to find that time to listen. Hear what your saying. Ask the questions and listen for the answers. You are bright and connected to the universe. God will talk to you through your soul if you listen.

I hear you and I value you. I appreciate you being here and a part of something so wonderful in this world. You are pretty amazing you know!

Just being here is enlightening your awareness to yourself. We are pretty awesomesauce!

With my wrist healing up pretty well now there will be updated and added information very soon! I can not wait to share more things with you.
