Love, and integrity are of great value

 Good morning! Yesterday I was offered a lovely opportunity...and then hours later I was given insight that I was grateful for. It allowed me to see that I really believe in not just the potential within children, but their present-moment intelligence and wisdom. I also trust the my children will set aside folly in moments when it counts.

In being offered money for services rendered, I have decided not to diminish the value of the heart of that service...but to increase the value of those being served as well as honouring the value that is already present. I believe we are given opportunities to empower, build up, encourage, and make welcome one another. When that is set aside to just get the "job" done, I have to question. ...

Love, and integrity are of great value. Enjoy their fruits in your life.

Trauma triggers. Move from the sting of wounds to the gentle reminder of awareness

 Do you make lists? I did at one time...to validate my worth and activity on this blue globe. And I had to step away from it a bit, so that I could see my value beyond "hard-work" and busyness. ..I stayed busy, but my head space was far from silent once I stopped. A few (or more) years ago, I would say that I experienced a trauma. I have had break downs before, but this one was different. I now know that what I thought it was...not even close. And until I could see it for what it was, it remained an open wound and the blood of it was getting everywhere.

Today I sit here realizing the trauma endured and that I have a passion for seeing the details in those around me. I love recognizing how others are growing as well as myself. I am also aware that I now have to grow through this all to move from the sting of wounds to the gentle reminder of awareness.

Allow yourself to go through your emotions, so they too can grow and change...and return to love.

Celebrating adaptability no matter where I am

 Ahhh...the joy of convenience. I love having indoor plumbing, heating system to keep our home warm, electricity that just flows into our house and I don't have to think about. And I also love the compromise between roughing it and having luxuries...an outhouse in the dark and hearing growling from the bushes...using a generator for power and propane to heat a trailer. And even more refreshing is wood fire and layers for heat and batteries for power. They are all good to know...all good to experience, because there is a fine line between convenience and comfort...and having to compromise on either is much better by choice.

Allowing the brainstorm to construct

 Good morning! How my "brain-mind-observer" starts the day (today)....there's grain and chaff, only one produces the harvest... (....silent buzzing...) ....a huge thought past by my window, caused my heart to race and beat faster, my eyes to open, and in my awe I forgot to reach out for it, and catch it. I hope I'm in a spiral so it can come back around again....realizing my resonance starts with excellence....? Flip! My excellence begins from resonance...I'm picky about my resonance.... my children nurture me in my creativity, giving me space to be, and mindful not to interrupt me, in my evolution...crazy beautiful! LOL I was close to catching it, but my gratitude was close behind and I caught that instead....

Ok, it's a good collection of starters. Very few will see this as much...but allowing the "storm" to be constructive, pondering awe/wonder, waking up and reflecting on the newness of day and the Awe-some of Being really set off any day (regardless of lack of physical sleep, tasks of the day ahead, "unfinished's" from yesterday-month-year...) in a good direction and flow.

And now to get put together and go! This day jumps off now. Enjoy this weekend

Inspired to go "peopling"

 Good morning! Feeling "inspired " this morning... so I am gonna be a little extra authentic in my spiciness and go and be live and direct with my fellow humans today...at least before my nap time.

Flow with the season... of hibernation

 Alrighty...I will say that I have been in a kind of hibernation for the last bit...this is not new for me and about 20 years ago I received a diagnosis that this will be a norm for me (after experiencing for the bulk of my life). I prefer enjoying my seasonal of rest and renewal and...this time around, I am opening myself up to the opportunity of dreaming bigger...and praying deeper, reading and enjoying a little longer. ..and letting myself receive the multitude of gifts bestowed to me

Like a bear in PJs and a Santa hat. Ok, got some reading to do.

The practice of nourishment

 Good morning! It is one thing to assume a knowledge about something. ..it is another thing to be personally interested on a topic. And yet another level to know what we know that we can share the info with others...and even still another, to love seeing the unfolding of the application of that knowledge in the lives of others that you are hungry and playfully compelled to share. And even yet another?...to take the very resonance of the knowledge into your daily practice as nourishment...allowing it to build you up into the being of its unfolding.

Soooo beautiful is the practice of nourishment. ..and seeing that nourishment is available to you on all levels for your good and beautiful growth

FB Good Morning post - November 16, 2015

 Good morning! Well , I must have been travelling in my naps and sleeps this last month...sleep is at different times and I am up all through the night. About to make it a bit more productive if it keeps up.

But for now, I am enjoying the time to reflect.

Enjoy a beautiful day!

“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”

 “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” - Gandhi ...it's divisiveness and not advocating for unity...oneness or the wholeness of humanity. This is a time where we need to recognize how we are more similar and celebrate what brings awe into this world. #oneanotherlove

Build on principle

 My boys were playing yesterday and they created scenarios of threat (I was a Lego character and was held hostage in a dark world...interesting ). Now my rescue was all planned out ahead of time, so they had to be real careful to stick to the story they had already laid out. It put a heaviness on my heart...after witnessing quite a few inconsistencies recently and having them observed and confirmed by others.

We love the stories we have created in our lives. They give us reason, passion, fuel, opportunity to connect and belong...there is not a life on this earth that does not have a story. And sometimes we lay the story down as the foundation for our future actions and call it out as principle. I have personally laid down many stories in my life so far...many I have walked away from. Why? Because I have chosen to build my foundation on unifying principles. Principles that hold life and love at high value...honour and celebrate beneficial growth and experience. ..that sets aside acting from a place of fear and limited viewpoint, but rather rises up, considering a more expanded perspective, and proceeds in acting that is beneficial to more than just ourselves. All those building blocks surround us in ample supply, but from a bigger, and less restricted lookout can we more easily see these pieces there to build ourselves up with.

When no consult or viewpoint has been taken...question. Question your reaction, and question the story. We speak a world of influence when we react...it tells of our fears...not wanting to start building on a different story because of all the "work" we put into it...not wanting the experience of loss and grief...but as the Lego my boys play with, it is just as easy to build again when you work with a solid, sustainable, beneficial, and evolving story rather than story that doesn't quite flow or end well for all the characters involved.

FB Good morning post - November 15, 2015

 Good morning! There are words I want to share, but not interested in backlash, just your contemplation. I'm not asking for your approval, just your considering. I'm interested in sharing some words, but not interested in obligating you to conversation.

With that said, this is the first of my sharings...many of you (and it's many) have expressed to me that you love what it is that I share and have thanked me face to face. Even though you do not hit like or comment. ...or say anything in PM. I just want to say to you....thank YOU! Thank you for applying the above statement. As much as it is nice to see feedback, it means more to know that regardless, I can share (thoughtfully) and it will reach who it is intended for...the key is that I keep sharing.

The sun just shines...no payment for benefits received is required. Shine your light folks!

Lift up in prayer

 Good morning! This day has been lifted up in prayer...many sending their thoughts of love, grief, question...surrendering their thoughts of anger, sorrow, shock...wanting to hug and love one another a little more authentically...wanting to one another a little more truthfully. Surrender the pain and know that to comfort one another, compassion is required. We are made for Love first!

Much love to us all

Stand for peace

 Lest we have forgotten. ..let us all stand for Peace...within our communities, cities, and nations. And within ourselves, to be reminded to #Lovefirst before we default to raise a fist, think vengeful thoughts, wish ill on those who are involved in ill will...praying for quick and loving hands to support those around them and to shine love where others thought to cast shadows.

Challenging limitations

 Good morning! Yesterday I decided to...challenge my limitations. In some way each day I had been stepping out from under limitations...for me it is a draining process at first (probably from wrestling against my resistances. ..LOL that just sounds so futile haha), but after I feel energized . Sometimes I don't "win" the fight, and it makes me feel low on myself for not succeeding. But today I asked myself "What would I do if I didn't feel limited? " "If I existed outside of limits, what would life be like?"...well, so far ...this has been an epic day. I'm enjoying witnessing myself play in it all. Very productive. ..fully expressive....and it only needs to be evident to me. Although I think others will benefit from it too.

Enjoy an awesome and wondrous weekend
