Speaking Less and Being More

I’ve gently caught myself over the last few days wanting to wedge my words of wisdom into a conversation, but words are wastedunless the other person is ready and open to receiving them. Giving unsolicited advice is like feeding meat to a vegetarian – useless and even potentially harmful.

I’m glad I’m getting better at maintaining silence and allowing other people to find their own way and it empowers me to stay firmly grounded in the beliefs that serve me the most too.

I’M SPEAKING LESS … an...

Training Myself To Expect Good Things

Today I noticed that I wasn’t feeling quite as spritely as I normally do. Without a firm focus on doing things that make me happy,my flame can dim a little sometimes, especially if I’ve been in the company of other people who tend to just follow the crowd.

Without focus, our vibration settles at the frequencyof the dominant person in the group. ~ ER

So being the leader I’ve decided I am, I deliberately set a few minutes aside to notice the things that are working out really well for me. That...

Things Are Going To Change

This morning I woke up feeling off physically, mentally and emotionally, soI lay there longer in the hope that I’d feel better soon. Often just relaxing, breathing deeper and looking around to find things to be thankful for helps me bound out of bed with renewed vigour. But today, none of myregular morning ritualsseemed to work.

Then I heard a new question inside my mind, “What if this is the best I’m going to feel all day?”

My response was immediate, “If this is it, I’m getting up right now...

The Power Of Unconditional Love

CONFESSION #184

I KNOW THE POWER OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

When I am loved unconditionally, it blows my mind

When Two Souls Are Guided Together

I WAS ALREADY HAPPY … but being in his presence, truly makes me shine.
I WAS ALREADY WISE … but communicating with him expands my mind even wider, lifts my spirits even higher.
I WAS ALREADY SECURE … but the way he reaches out to me with comforting words, thoughtful gestures and consistent energy, stabilizes my sense of “rightness” with life just as it is.
I WAS ALREADY FREE … but with him, freedom to express myself, be true to myself and to just BE myself, is even more pleasurable.

You Can’t Stop Me From Feeling Good

CONFESSION #382

NOTHING YOU DO CAN AFFECT ME NEGATIVELY FOR VERY LONG
unless I keep on giving it my attention,
keep complaining about it,
keep on making you wrong for doing it
AND foolishly forget that I have my own life to live

I Solve Problems In Fun Ways

I ENJOYMAKING UP WITH MY MATE … I overlook the need for an apology.

Can I instead tempt you to smear freezing cold ice-cream over my body as punishment for whatever you think I’ve done wrong?
I dunno … maybe some gentle spanking might be in order too … lol.

Sexual healing has far more success than discussing issues can possibly overcome
as it takes us out of our minds and connects us to a more spiritually fulfilling place.

I’m Over It

I’VE NOTICED… that when I really GET something,
I stop talking about it,
stop trying to teach others about it,
stop re-activating the opposite of it,
and just live it – completely!
