Happy Thanksgiving!

My friends!

We have reached that time of year that Geoff likes to call the Holiday Slide! It begins with Halloween and before you know it the new year is picking up steam! I love this time of year!

Over the many years that I’ve enjoyed the privilege of working with you, a common theme keeps coming up. I don’t know if I’m attracting this because of the energy around me, or if it’s just human nature. May I be so bold as to say, this year we need to make a change, and the change begins with us.

Brigham YoungA very wise man who lead a church across the prairies of the US and re-established it in the wilderness of Utah in the mid 1800’s said, “He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool.” That man was Brigham Young. Do you know of a time when a family member offended you? Were they really trying to offend you? Sometimes family members can be real stinkers and will lash out because they are hurting. It takes a lot of fortitude to be able to set one’s own feelings aside and not be offended when someone you care about displays a little tantrum. In a society that teaches people to think only of themselves, and be ultra critical of others, maybe some people are just holding on by a thread, trying to survive another day. Believe me, it’s so much more pleasant to endure day to day when there’s not emotional scars looming over.

It is my hope that we can celebrate Thanksgiving this year with a heart full of gratitude. List all that you’re grateful for. List all of your blessings. Then I want you to list your mistakes and how they’ve become blessings to help you not repeat those mistakes. Also list your trials and look at those trials with new, open eyes, and see how they have been blessings in disguise.

One trial I thought I had was that we didn’t make enough money. I fretted about it for many years. Then one day I realized that we have never gone without the basics… food, shelter, warmth, water, safety. We have always been cared for. Now I’m grateful for that trial so I can feel security knowing we are always taken care of. It has been so helpful during years when there were employment issues hovering around us.

Geoff at Skyworks cafeI hope with all my heart that you will feel the heartfelt gratitude that comes when you realize all the blessings you’ve been given and continue to receive. This year I am so grateful we have made it to retirement! It’s been wonderful having my precious husband with me all day every day. We have had such fun together just being together. It’s been fun sharing the household chores and watching the old TV shows together. We go to the gym and shopping together. What a blessing he is to me!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Drought of Adversity

Many of you may know that California, where I live, has been in a serious drought. All around us we see the plants, trees and grasses dying off. It’s a symbol of adversity. Adversity, if we allow it can tear us apart, cause us to hold onto or cultivate negative thoughts, and create illness in our body or in our existence. Or… it can make us stronger. It’s all up to us and the way we choose to perceive it. We are born with a wonderful attribute – DETERMINATION.

Choosing to be Strong in the Face of Adversity

I looked out at my yard the other day and was shocked at what I saw! The plumerias are not only surviving the drought, they are flourishing! I’ve never seen the bush so large and full of blooms! It is easily double in size and much fuller and lush than it has ever been! It was an affirmation to me that this little tree is determined to flourish and be beautiful in spite of the adversity it is currently under!

We can take a lesson from this beauty in nature. When we are faced with adversity… be it a small set back or a huge life changing catastrophe, what is our attitude? Do we shrivel up and die? Or do we reach deep into our reservoir of determination and find a way around the adversity? For some it may just be changing our thought process. In other situations, it may be uprooting our life.

 

Wise Council from a Father…

In a conversation with my dad many years ago, I asked him how he faced the adversity in his life. He told me he just laced up his boot strings tightly and just kept going, moving forward until he could feel comfortable resting. Those were very wise words that came from a man who faced a lot of adversity in his life. I’ve never forgotten those words. And now I extend his words to you. I hope I have helped you in your resolve to dig deep into those reserves of determination. Know that whatever it is that you struggle with right now, will pass, and you can and will rise triumphant! Allow the adversity to bring out the best in you. Find the positive thoughts within. Fill your heart & soul with gratitude for all that is good and wonderful surrounding you – both now and in the future! Take a deep breath and tighten your boot laces and move forward!

Bringing Joy to Another

treesA friend sent this to me. I recall reading it many years ago. At that time it left me with negative emotions and fuel to beat myself up with. Since that time, I’ve discovered that through the simple tools of energy work, I can leave those negative emotions behind. Now, as I read this poem, my heart is filled with joy and purpose!
I wanted to share it with you…
At Days End Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?
 
Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that’s slipping fast, 
That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?
 
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said; 
Does the man whose hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead?
 
Did you waste the day, or lose it? Was it well or sorely spent? 
Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?
 
As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think God will say, 
“You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today”?

Inspiration at the Beach

Saturday at the Beach

Beach in fall

It was a magnificent day last Saturday on the Beach! Fall is fabulous at the shoreline! The salt air is crisp but not too chilly, and there’s not many tourists. We were there early in the morning, around 8 am. The view of the clouds over the ocean was so beautiful I had to share it with you!

Be Inspired!

As we walked along the boardwalk, it’s common to see chalk writing on the pavement. They have 5k runs and relays along the boardwalk quite often. I love reading the messages to the runners. This time, however, one of the messages really hit home! It’s great encouragement and inspiration.

You don't have to see the whole stairs... Just take the first step

You don’t have to see the whole staircase… Just take the first step

It’s true! You don’t have to see the whole staircase to take the first step… Sometimes things come to us that feel good to us, but we don’t know the whole picture before embracing it. Sometimes we have been burned by not doing our due diligence before embracing something. So I agree that investigating something is important. However, there are those who cannot embrace anything out of fear of the impending result. That paralyzing fear prevents us from enjoying life. There needs to be a proper balance. That is something that is accomplished with energy work. Fears are replaced with confidence once all the shock and trauma of the past is released and cleared.

Can you take that first step?

Energy work is subtle and easy. A skilled practitioner can locate crimps in the energy field that you many not have realized you have. Eliminating those crimps opens up your ability to make a sound decision. It helps you to be able to confidently know when you need more information, or when you can embrace something that sounds good for you or your family.
