Greater love

 Is it crazy...in so many moments I find myself in the thoughts of things I love and still I wonder if there is more I could do to be in the experience and thought of even greater love?...and I know there is...the joy in hope....the beauty in life...the infinity in love....

The best of 2016. What a year!

 The best of 2016....travel, times with friends, growing through experience, enjoying gifts of acceptance, letting go of guilts, embracing more and more love, encouraging and surprising family, watching a soul open and begin to blossom, witnessing profound change from a background perspective, loving neighbours, loving friends, loving Christ. #intense #bringthelove

P.S. We also went plant-based as a family, boys flew out to youth camp, surprise trip to Legoland and visit friends in California, as well as surprise family for Christmas in Ontario.

Healthy habits...simplified

 No scales, extra water, rest when I am tired...work when I am energized, ...sounds almost too simple..

giving, receiving, empathy, compassion...freely give

 Yup! Full day yesterday filled with perfect timing. Wrapping up a few loose ends, making the most of what was given...points, gift vouchers...I tend to use my gifts to give to others...2 days...that's all I am committing to this Christmas shopping experience...actually only 2 hours worth invested. My hat goes off to those that have done more...I guess you don't do it alone for longer...who knows!

I am enjoying all the ways I am constantly gifted...In the end, I can only hope that it is not just in this season that they remember the joy they received, but all year long. All I had to say was that I was looking at the thought of getting a gift and....encouragement was received...the thought really is of value...considering the needs of others and desiring to meet it. Seeing others in their experience. ..and holding value to it. I love having the freedom to love and give freely to others and it being okay to receive. ..what a blessing this season is...to share gifts and giving with freedom...definitely worth celebrating...giving honour to...that we ALL get to share in that resonance...

Making plans for our January diet shift

 Good morning! This week has already been about recognizing my strengths....currently, in making plans for our January diet shift...I'm ready but not ready...I've been practicing for the last 6 months...right now is the time to enjoy...so I am diving into spiritual readings....nom nom! Being fed on all levels before fasting and silence in the new year...

True Love is evident

 

A "perfect" day has it's edges

 Good morning!

Yesterday was like an ol skool day of weather in Edmonton...a mix of everything. Slept in after a great time at a friends house. ..wrapped presents and headed out to do a delivery...bumped into friends at the same time...went out to eat to discover we will probably not eat there again...then made it go for an open sleigh ride and found an old bestie from high school there...watched a movie as a family...then "got ready" for a party....arrived on time...and got to dance with my boys....however, in that recount of the day a few edgy, rigid, jaded moments occurred. ...and why not?! Why can't a "perfect" day include contrast, opportunities to grow up and beyond...pull our junk to the surface, call light in on those shadowy spots...and reveal what truly matters....yup, even the rough patches and unforecasted thunderstorms still make for a great day....now let's be great in this new one too.

Be IN joy this season

 Good morning. ... I am truly grateful that after many, many years...I am now surrounded with other people who celebrate living...no matter what season they are in. They look for the rare opportunities to experience. ..that is exclusive to that particular season. They don't wish away the perceived challenges and close their eyes chanting for something else to appear. They enjoy receiving a new situation that they can grow and change in...and even enjoy!

I'm going to be looking deep...into those spaces and places where I am squinting through life...where I am hoping for something else...and I am going full in with my eyes open (and God to guide me...).

Let's be inJoy this season

FB Good morning post - December 12, 2016

 Good morning. ...the sun is SHINING! I was having a good sleep one of these nights until I got shoved...elbowed in the head...lost my duvet status...got dog piled...son picked an argument and fit at midnight...creepy dream...time to commit to making my faraday cage bed for a full nights rest... LOL...I think it's Monday and I am grateful to know what day it is

But the sun...it's shining! And the sky is blue

Are your expectations tearing down or building up?

 For years I watched someone lay in wait for the expected faults and failures of another to happen. They had already summated and rounded out all this person would be....and just waited to be proven right by this and that. Many of which were false assumptions and summations of circumstances. ..sometimes triggered by the person wanting the failed result to appear.

What could have ever changed in this situation? Seeing the lack of support. ...we often feel others are constantly failing and disappointing us...however, when we look back on this scene...were we the ones that were ther providing encouragement and support? Or were we the ones tearing them down?

I admit, I have experienced both from myself....to myself and to others as well. But now I challenge myself, and others if they are willing, to be that advocate that will be remembered as making a positive difference in the lives around you. Be honest with yourself first...and then extend that empathy to others. What a way to impact the world and your day to day experiences by just expecting to help build up and encourage the best to shine through in others.

Peace and love

Enjoying the mundane moments... cuddling a sick kid

 I admit. ..I am usually up at this time...why? Because there is something in this world I am REALLY not a fan of...alarms. But this morning I am gladly up even earlier than I intended for the sake of my son...slight cough...and no longer defiant...it may not look like much to others, but the mood swing and asking for comforting is what counts as fighting a lil bug in our house. Had ginger tea, looked at songs from the underground railroad and now he is back to sleep. ..

wish I could join him, but now my day is just "beginning" #Lovefirst #healing #encouraged #connection #family #gratitude #thankyouGod #healthyloving #longdays

No typical day 11 years ago

 This was no typical day 11 years ago...it was a warm and sunny Friday. ..I learned a lot of things that day...I still learn a lot from that day...and the biggest thing for me is that I'm so grateful for Divine determination. Nothing can get in the way of radiance and love on its way into our lives. All you have to do is be here and be willing to witness it in action

#thankyouGod for such a great blessing as this to enjoy and hold. Enjoy your "air"day Reds.

I love my homemade hot chocolate

 WOW!I make some of the BEST "hot" chocolate. ..

Been perfecting this "recipe" for years...you can ask what is in it, but you may have no clue what it is LOL . #superfoodingredients #immuneboostingseason #recipeinmyhead #stayinghealthytastedangggood!

Change! Celebrate sharing in supporting and believing in it

 Good morning! I'm not going to share what I choose to do...and think...oh wait! That is a total lie. I said good morning. ...I already shared that I think it is good and that I chose to share my opinion.

For the most part, I am witnessing the dawn of a new era...all the ways we have "viewed" and speculated from moment to moment...every thought unspoken...every emotion stuffed...every expression that longed for breath has been smelted to the surface of each and everyone. ...and they are finding each other...they are experiencing being out in the open...they are looking around and finding places to settle in....but all these express something in unison...am I still needed? Or how am I being transformed now that I am in the light? They were of service once...and as they and you transition into a new realization, are you willing to let them change...and let them go?

I'm working on it, because my beautiful vision is filled with the transmuting and discovery of each soul looking out for the other...I love witnessing hearts change...people who are grieving and under attack being supported so they can finally (and safely) express the love and expectations they felt were lost...when we can truly celebrate sharing in supporting and believing we can all change for the better...and EXPECT it!

I'm working on it....would you join me?

Don't get stuck in the Doldrums. Keep moving

 Good morning! I guess. ..I'm reminded of a childhood movie that we watched at the school I attended ...The Phantom Tollbooth. (I can't even describe how that move stuck with me my whole life! It helped shape the way I see the world to some degree ...) there is a part where he gets stuck in the Doldrums. ..the only way out is to get moving...or it will consume you...I can't say I have been stuck, but lacking in proper sleep reminds me of this...this is when I am glad that my mind LOVES to be on the move...even when I am not feelin' it.

Here's to a wonder filled weekend ahead
