Enjoying the flowers and the friendship

 

These flowers were given to me by a neighbour and friend.

I truly am humbled by the honour of sharing in the witnessing of HER journey at this time.

It's also an interesting and new-ish space for me to be in in this 'one-another' experience, so I am enjoying both the visceral and obsersation of it all...

Thank you

I'm ready to go!

Good mawning!

I'm ready to go!

One last detail to 'arrange' that will benefit more than just myself, and we are set.

We often only focus on the final 'picture' of what we want or imagine...one way or the other.

And THEN we work our way back through the details.

It's as Stephen Covey outlines in the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

But the process works with the same 'effectiveness', no matter what it is you choose to 'give' your focus over to...at least in the first few...

Perhaps, just perhaps things ARE working out FOR you toward your favourable outcome.

Just maybe...that last step IS up for you to take that faithful leap...

There is process happening in the background of what it is that YOU are in the process of achieving. ALWAYS!

Trust in that. That things are collaborating in the background on your behalf WHILE you are taking steps to move forward as well.

As for me, I am READY to go. I have imagined and accepted all scenarios, including miraculous support or effortless ease...and I can see myself in that final picture.

Here we go! (Also accepting all "background " positive vibes and prayers as well. )

It's blooming time!

 

Good mawning!

It's blooming time!

Now you can read that however you want LOL (#iykyk), but if you are not caught up in ALL the distractions, pain, scarcity, loss, threat, anger, and ridiculous displays of contempt...

Then you WILL see, savour, breathe in deeply, smell, appreciate, and FEEL the WHOLEHEARTED shift that is among us now and how so many things are in full BLOOM and 'from-the-core' expression right now.

Yes, many are dying...persecuted...falsely accused...life devalued and stopped short...

And we are... of all these things. Both the heartache and the standing up for the life of another. Both the mourning and the joy of being present for a baby's smile and laughter. Both the acceptance of an ending and the celebrating of new beginnings.

I accept the FULL beauty of my life. Each day I get the gift of not just witnessing, but also viscerally feeling and experiencing the beauty within what seems like extreme contrasts.

What looked like hatred, oppression, and injustice SERVED for my protection and prompting for allowing greater to be done through me.

What looks like needs unmet, is also the Grace of God teaching and molding others around me to grow into THEIR greater expression and experience of self.

I no longer disconnect, cut off, and walk away... I step back and witness for the greater and bigger picture at play.

There is always something gained for my learning, growth, experience... I trust that I will get the gift of witnessing and appreciating the blossoms about to bloom in abundance...

What's your default?

 Good mawning!

What's your default?

Yesterday I did alterations on an MOB (mother of the bride) dress.

Going into it, I knew I was fully capable. I could see exactly the way I would approach doing the work... even with options.

Again. I will repeat, I AM capable. After years of sewing and creating my own pieces, including my own wedding gown, I have tons of "proof" in my ability and adaptability.

YET...as I approached pulling the first thread, I was completely gutted by how I was gripped with what I would best describe as "trauma" drama.

And what seemed like ALL the stories tied to the shaming, slander, defamation, harassment, dismissal, and disbelief in me and my abilities. How, no matter that most of these things were not true, they did indeed influence the opinion of others against me and caused some major ripples in my life...enough for me to NOT want to show up that way again.

But as you can see, I still sewed yesterday.

I, after much self-talk to stay in the moment, trust in DIVINE support, and knowing that ultimately "I" have to consciously give the charge and power to those stories in order for them to fully grip me and cut me off moment to moment... for it to "keep" me from finishing my tasks...

I forged through with positive reinforcement. I KNEW I was capable and I SHOWED UP in it...EVEN when I didn't "feel" like it.

Because emotions are temporary...ideas that limit ourselves...TEMPORARY! And IF we have the proof and going forward BENEFITS us... then do it!

DO IT!

ALLOW yourself to be encouraged by YOUR courage!!

I could go on for a mile off that last statement... but I will end with this...I 'll need a few more of those courage-whole-hearted-Love-first-reap-the-good-fruit moments to truly feel the fullness of the 'joy' I once had as my default. But I noticed the impact of seeing my default of love, joy, and adapting shine through IN SPITE OF... it made me realize...that some things aren't temporary and that some things just get in the way and cloud our judgment...and we have to ACTIVELY put it on to go through the motions of "it"...

Give yourself the space and knowing that ultimately...joy and love ARE beyond whatever "default" you decide.

Let your limits be temporary and your day be filled with light.

I'm in reflection mode.

 

Good mawning!

I'm in reflection mode.

Considering the conversation yesterday and the journey of humble and humility.

Years ago, on bended knee, making mud with my tears as my face was to the ground ... I heard the resounding voice speak to my heart.

"Look up!" Then you will know humility.

UGH!

LOL... what? So if I am "dust", by looking WAY up, then I will "know" that I am dust?

"YES!"

From the perspective of God...then we can "see" and "know".

Who are we trying to 'convince' when we beat ourselves up and speak from depreciation?

Our egoic selves. That's what I think. To 'remind' ourselves to shift in our perspective...and to consider...

To consider that in amongst MUCH grandeur and vastness. Among many wonders and aee inspiring creations, that EVEN our planet and sun are as dust to giants in the universe...

And yet... we are not only a consideration, but on the 'mind' of God that we are 'wonderfully and fearfully made.'

With intricate derails and depths of wonder beyond the fullness of full exploration to this 'daye' through our 'own' minds.

Look up and 'know' that the gaze of God is upon YOU... and holds no regret in your creation and existence...

Consider...and try and accept that 'space, Great, and Heart' that was pleased to see you come into life itself.

It's that 'wow' moment (time and time again) that humbles me... and reminds me to 'Look UP'
