All In Perfect Time

I am always amazed at how thoughts and ideas can float in and out of my consciousness for months then all of a sudden, one day action is inevitable, even urgent. I have always wanted to have my own business; actually it's more than just having my own business, it's following my bliss. It's supporting myself doing what I have come to this life to do; making money doing what I am passionate about, what a concept.

So why has it taken me so long to put this plan of passion into action? I think I know the answer, however I am hesitant to admit it. Alright...here goes, fear. That's it, fear. I have attempted to succeed at businesses that were my own but the product was not. That way, if I didn't succeed it was not really something I was passionate about and I didn't fail at something I really cared about. I may have believed in the product, but the problem was I didn't believe in myself. Why didn't I believe in myself...because I was not following my bliss.

Here is the problem with this convoluted thinking. If I tried to succeed at something I was not invested in, I was energizing failure not success. It's like planning to fail, how insane is that.

Well right now, this moment, is the Perfect Time. I am done living life from fear. I am ready to dive into my truth and live passionately; follow my bliss and share the divine gifts I was blessed with. I am ready to succeed in manifesting my vision, being in service and growing financially. I am on a new journey with all my fears and excitement, with all the possibilities, challenges and successes. I don't know if there are words to express that feeling when all of a sudden everything clicks, when the stars align and all gears are working together, Elation!

And so it is, Blessed Be.

A Healthy Dose of Happiness

Something stirs, do you feel it? Be still and quiet your mind; open your senses to the subtle vibrations around your body. Tune into the rustling threads that weave the fabric of our existence. Hear the heartbeat of time and space quickening in anticipation. Know the excitement swirling in the Cosmos and open your mind and heart to a new day; a new way of life, shifting your awareness and consciousness. Feel your body as it becomes swept into the swirling energy of matter before it becomes tangible. Feast on the giggles of joy emanating from every molecule as they all dance in ecstasy, awaiting the celebration of infinite possibility.

Ok...where did all this come from? Well, every once in a while I slide into this altered state. Actually, I am beginning to believe that it's not so altered, maybe I was a little dramatic, but I know I'm not alone in knowing something is afoot. Personally, I love living in the realm of expectancy, surprise and possibility. It's good for the body; "happy chemicals" flowing through our veins and strengthening our immune system based on our thoughts. We can create our own "anti-depressants". I know, some of you are thinking, "Ahhh...right, we don't really know what's going to happen so why are we making ourselves happy based on what may never happen?"

Why not? In these times of CNN, (Constant Negative News) what's wrong with a little self medicating by thinking good thoughts, true or not. How many times do we allow the fear and worry thoughts to run rampant creating an abundance of stress hormones to infiltrate our immune system. Thoughts are powerful, so think good ones and stay happy, healthy, joyous and free.

2010 - Begin Again

Just as I find a tremendous blessing in "One Day At a Time" I am also grateful for one year at a time. I know that time is really an illusion but for the sake of closure, time is a gift. I love being able to complete my day, my week, my month and tonight, my year by saying, "I can put that (period of time) behind me. What I learned from it, how I have grown from it and know that can move past it. Time is an end and a beginning to help us live life to it's fullest in bite-size pieces.

In this past year I have learned to surrender to the "what is" of life more than any other of my fifty one years. I was able to find bliss in the simplest moments; like inhaling deeply with my nose over an amazing yellow rose or feeling freedom with the wind in my face while I was riding my bike through the park. Oh, and stopping long enough, in the moment, to realize just how much I love the people I've spent time with. The simple moments have been wonderful and very abundant... and I have also had a big moment of bliss. In April I was blessed to have had the opportunity to be in the room with my son Daniel and his girlfriend Megan while she gave birth to their daughter and my beautiful granddaughter Sierra; I will never forget that day.

I was also gifted the experience of irony, dichotomy or those two opposing forces that create balance and wisdom. I have been unemployed this last year but have had the time to enjoy my granddaughter, pursue my writing and spend more time with my eighty two year old mom, who, truly is an angel. My beloved Liz and I have had more time together than in the past I have found a healthy balance with my body. I have also had to deal with financial challenge and I am learning how to better deal with my finances.

Will all this being said I am welcoming 2010 with an open mind, open arms and most of all an open heart. I look forward to completing my Masters Degree in Holistic Life Coaching and growing my business, "Begin Within", giving women a safe and nurturing place to open from within and bring into the world their unique gift they are here to share. Last year was a huge right of passage for me, that proverbial fire of transformation and I came through wiser, more open, more peaceful and more passionate about who I am and sharing that with the world. Thank you 2009 and welcome 2010.
