Just bake the cake! Stop holding yourself back

 Good mawning!

Just bake the cake!

That was the thought I had when I was standing in the kitchen this morning wanting something extra to eat. My son had already made the family a special pancake breakfast (not my usual time or type of first meal), but we all enjoyed it as a family...and we forgot to take the pics hahaha...OH WELL! 

Also, after not getting enough sleep, I felt the "want" for something extra. I looked around the kitchen and realized, I have all that I "need" in order to make that "chocolatey" thing that I feel peckish for and it made me think about all the times that I "wanted" to do something I was interested in. And not just wanting to do something and not quite having the resources available at the time to do it, but actually having all that I needed and NOT starting it or doing it at all. 

WHY!?!

Most times it was because I felt overwhelmed by the "idea" of adding something "extra" to the plate. Other times, it was because it wasn't a priority for me. But as I have been doing the mindset work, and in particular, using the tools from the EYL system, I began to see how to "layer" in what it is I want instead of trying to take it all on at once.

Step by step, like putting in the ingredients of a cake and following the instructions (haha the other way around, but you get what I mean 😜). 

So if you want to taste the cake and that is what it is that you want, and you KNOW you have all you need to start making and baking.... then go ahead and do it. Step by step, ingredient by ingredient, and process by process.

You CAN have the cake and enjoy it too.

Continuing to choose to show up because I COMMITTED myself to doing so

 Good mawning!

(I actually got an ‘error’ message in trying to post this and it deleted everything I had already typed, so what you are reading is the RE-TYPING of the post I was trying to repost…)

I’m currently experiencing issues with a group that I run. I am no longer able to operate as the admin although I am the only admin for the group. (And yes, I will be bringing this to FB along with the other progressive “issues” I had been having). I am not even “permitted” to post within that group, so… I’ve decided to share it here

—---------------------------------------------------

Recently, I have been re-watching the “Matrix” movie series. Last night many revelations and parallels were being drawn. One of which was in and around choice.

I choose.

And currently am continuing to choose to show up (every day) in many areas of my life right now…even though its challenging.

Not just because I said I would, but because I COMMITTED myself to doing so.

And COMMITMENT looks much different than just “interested”.

It shows up! Not when it “feels” like it or when the “conditions” are “just right”. It shows up because the reason the COMMITMENT was made matters to you. It matters so much, that you are WILLING to see how by simply SHOWING UP and doing the thing you committed yourself to doing to SEE the fruit of that CHOICE in action.

And oddly enough, if you show up simply and consistently, it works.

After years of mindset training, application, and coaching, I have seen that… WHATEVER goal that is decided on with a whole heart and full commitment, will work out regardless of what “obstacles”, challenges, and awkward “feelings” are thrown at it.

It grows and shifts those feelings. It changes YOU in the ways you wanted AND in ways you didn’t expect. YOUR commitment, if you show up fully for it, will over-deliver to you in return, beyond what you expected or imagined.

So, I leave you with this…

I persist and continue because...

...imperfection IS the space in which growth can occur.

...While I continue to work through creating solutions in my life, things still go on.

...I believe in potential and possibility

... and I choose to show up for it...no matter how messy and challenging it may seem.

What small and simple thing could you choose to do that would have you SHOWING up FOR what you committed to?

What ONE action, TODAY, can you do that shows that you are COMMITTED and not just interested?

I’m off to plug in the rest of my morning routine….and feeling good about honouring my commitment not just to “myself”, but also the parts of my vision that I said I was committed to. Because, I believe that in doing so, I will get the gift of experiencing the fullness of all that it has to offer me in this life, and I am ready to receive

Go back to basics and adjust accordingly

 

Good awakening...

WHAT-eva!!!

Next layer readiness must be applied.

When things are not lining up in the way you expected, go back to basics.

That's what I am telling myself...that is what I am applying. Observe, make SMALL tweaks, test, test...give it time... and adjust accordingly.

Okay.

Here we go!

Hit the ESC button and return to your Core

 

Good mawning!

It's time to hit the ESC button!

It's a play-on with my initials, but from many of the heart-felt rants I have heard lately, I wanted to share a bit of my "why" today and maybe, just maybe it can "help" someone who is struggling in their own journey today.

Recently I have experienced another loss. It really had me thinking. It had me recalling the last conversation I had with them. How I called my mom after to share with her. And again, the thinking... I've been reflecting on all that my mom had shared that she had gone through. I've watched over the years how she has held on in life. And it reminded me...

That I had died.

I remember the flashes across my mind of all that I would hope to experience...if only God would hear my prayer as my body was convulsing and I was stretched out as though I was on a cross... And I laughed LOL. I laughed and I felt the gush of blood leaving my body and ...I thanked God for considering my prayer. As though it was a cover letter for a resume or something :P 

And in between that moment and waking, I experienced "making a choice". To help others to connect in with their Divine and intimate relationships with God if that "Second chance" was going to be an option for me.

And this was the face of a person returned to life and set on a mission.

The journey had begun. I was full on in observation mode. And my Core objective was focused in. I was returned to the space of labels and stigmas, and status, and expectations...

I felt the weight of "living" under all of these and yet...I didn't "own" them. I owned the opportunity within them. The opportunity of presence. Presence in THIS life. To BE there and see, in fullness, life and the living of it.

"Good" or "bad", I had the GIFT of BEING "IN" it. That's all I wanted as I prayed that prayer. To be present in those moments I longed for.

So when I feel overwhelmed, like life is heavy, that my presence doesn't "matter", I remember that I have a button. MY "ESC" button.

I return to my Core intent. I focus in on the living and presence and beauty of life in others. I focus in on the longing and work of others putting into their lives for just a glimpse and "hit" of that bliss and joy, and happiness....that RADIANCE of life!

I know the intensity of my very presence in this very moment in time. I feel it. The value of BEING in the patient and attentive space of Presence in this life.

So if you feel like things are a bit "MUCH" right now, you're not wrong....and I am here to help support you. I know I am. So if this moves you, share...and reach out. I am willing to be present for you too <3

As I am... accepting myself.

 

Good mawning

As I am...

This morning I am accepting myself.

My anger and frustration...my "selfishness"...my shadows and heartbreak... my nature to "want" a piece of the pie others are freely given from... my "pains" and "sufferings"... my "darkness"... my use of poor examples to make a "point". My desire to keep things "loving" and "care-based" ... my "lack" of self-care...

Yes...in the process of "seeing myself" (Sawubona), I also take an "honest" observation at the ways I express/and present in this world. I'm good and messy. I'm "horrible" (what does that word mean really), "negative", bossy, unapproachable.... AND I am "not".

You see, even yesterday, when I asked my son to get me a beverage, I didn't go into the explanation of the sharp shooting pain in my ankle...I just simply asked and waited. When I asked about other things because I see the result of the response over and over and I see reactions....it reminds me...to have compassion, care, understanding and patience with myself.

I'm not perfect ... maybe with intention...so it gives me room to grow and see more and more...

Today I accept myself and allow myself the peace of personal compassion and embrace AND celebrating... because I am...filled with the fullness of living and potential of a Divine design.

Thank you God... for this past year of much "pain" as well as much growth. I see it. I love it. I appreciate it.

Being called to LIVE out loud

 Good mawning

This was me before a coaching call... in the midst of regulation of my own state and experience...giving myself a little glimpse of the good energy that was about to be exchanged.

As a coach, I find it intriguing that thoughts of "having to" have it all together in life is even an expectation that tends to creep in.

Even though I have dedicated my life to growth and expansion/exploration, the silly notion of not being expected to have challenges of my own happens. But I AM in this human experience just as you are.

It is dynamic and changes constantly..beckoning us to find new ways to adapt and perceive. And I signed up for that "beauty" in fullness.

Yesterday I got news... it shifted my perspective on life and living. I'm jumping into today with different footing.

To be seen, loved, heard, and felt... moreso... in increasing measure.

To LIVE out loud... no matter how crazy we are OR the thoughts and beliefs we carry. Authenticity of YOUR voice is calling to heard...share it. WE need more of this expressed diversity in our world. It's the rhythm by which humanity moves and flows... all perspectives making up the #biggerpicture.

One love in fullness...

Chasing the sunrise...

 Chasing the sunrise...

It's awe inspiring and we know if we don't take this moment to appreciate it we won't get the chance again.

Enjoying majesty and splendor as it lays out before me in this moment.
