Whose business are you in
Ask yourself, whose business are you in?
Byron Katie
Are you living in your life? Where is your attention? Are you trying to control someone and something else or doing things to make people believe that your way is the best way perhaps the only way?
What is going on in your life or maybe not going on in your life that you beleive that you must leave it and hop across to "fix" or judge someone else's life?
If you are over "there", then what exactly is happening here where you are?
Byron Katie says there is my business, your business and God's business.
Staying in your business is really .... your business
If you are not in your own life then where are ya? And who's life are you living?
Peace

How are you using her energy?
Mistakes happen.
Big, dumb, stupid, lazy mistakes. Fat frickin’ messes that you will regret for a very long time. And no affirmation or predeterministic thinking will change the fact that you’ve done gone and f***d up. And when you can get that real about it, you don’t need to waste energy protecting your ego or pouring on the sweetener. You can use that energy to clean up the mess and love yourself while you’re doing it.
Danielle La Porte
Admit it and then move on. The admission is the first part. I was talking to someone I love chatting with and she told me "girl, please, accept, dust it off and proceed wisely" The non acceptance is what messes us up especially when we know me "done gone and messed up" some if us blame, make excuses, rehash it over and over in our minds, go down fighting, and that energy could be used to clean it up, learn the lesson and move on.Peace

Are you out of order?
Cleaning our minds, bodies, and spaces is essential — as in, a profoundly critical must must must. It fuels every kind of vitality and fulfillment. It’s the difference between held back and fully free, congested and clear, shuffling along and flying.
So fall in love the necessity of regular purification. Danielle La Porte
Order is the first Universal Law, an orderly mind manifests itself into an orderly life and by orderly I mean putting first things first and purifying and purging as a norm. Letting go of things that no longer serve you, making room for the things that give you life and love. Making no excuses for keeping the junk, for out of order actions from you and the people around you.God First and everything else after, that is just the way it is, nothing more I can say about that, time and time again we put work first and therein lies the cause of many of our issues, or we may put the wife or husband or significant other first, same result- out of orderAn orderly environment - removal of clutter and things that you don't use- pile up of things (especially the things that we no longer use or are no longer useful) pile of of situations (ignoring events) and people - out of orderAn orderly mind - following your intuition, your first gut, paying attention to the signs, eating properly, having a spiritual practice - not on the list? - out of order.Who wants to fly? Get your shit in order! Period and watch how you soarPeace!

Who's your tribe?
Who’s your community? Who’s your collective? The ones that know your calling and push your momentum? Danielle La Porte
Carnival time in Trinidad and Tobago is one where you meet and see people that you haven't seen for ages, you open your homes to friends who live abroad and come back for the festival, you sleep little and party hard, as we say here "the vibes cyar done" On the flip side there are quite a few disagreements and fights - people show themselves.My tribe, they are all different, a bunch of women that I have known for ages and we accept and love one another as we are , all of us are different and the diversity makes our tribe not just interesting but so much fun.It got me to thinking about how and who joins the tribe and why? Is it a "free for all" come on in and we accept or do we have boundaries and hidden criteria somewhere in there? Who pushes you? Who do you see yourself in? Is there mutual respect and admiration? Or is it a rubber stamp of anything goes? Does your soul feel at peace when you are in your tribe? Are you excusing bad behaviour in the name of escape or lack of self love?Peace

Who owns you?
So long as you are worried about what others think of you you are owned by them
ACIM
Who owns you?Who do you worry about what they think of you?What is freedom to you?
The boss, you want to "impress", the new boo you also what to "impress" the neighbour's who just moved accross the streetand the list goes on
I got to the point of showing up real and trusting my gut. With both of them the need to "impress" has reduced so so much. Its also freeingAs we say here "who vex lorse" those who are for you will remain, those who aren't will fall off, don't even bother about itAre you ready?Are you willing?Peace

The Good Day has begun
the good day has begun...give praise children
- David Rudder
Today marks the start of what we call Carnival, a huge celebration of culture and fun that runs for days, no sleep involved just a lot of activities, parties, culture and steelpan. I love it
I love the freedom the innovation, the gay abandon, the vibes, the energy that comes from this time
I look forward to it every year, which is held two days before Ash Wednesday. And so, in my time of no sleep and enjoying the culture I may check in with you from time to time to share lessons on the journey
For my fellow Trini peeps have a happy and safe carnival, for everyone else, Google Trinidad Carnival and then take trip down for a taste

Let the work happen in your life. If there's an inner urge to do something, do it. Start tuning into your spirit and your heart. Don't let the mind make you overthink and judge the process. Imagination and intuition will guide you further the more you start to trust it. Raise the VibrationEverytime,, it happens everytime... I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach, a sign a message even, to do something, to make a move and I wait, I analyse, I over think and wait and wait and maybe do nothingand then .... shit hits fan. And then- I say - "hmmm you did not pay attention and honor the signs ..,.again, why oh why?" Fear is usually the answer
I want things to be a certain way and I did not trust the process
And so the whispers are to bring me back into the process that I was doubting and questioning
Some of the most successful people by any standards say - always trust yourself, that inner voice, it always lead you to the right path and that is not to say it will be easy but it is sure worth it.
The vibes you get when you meet someone - and yet you still force it, make excuses because you think they are supposed to be in your life
The vibes you get when you walk into a room and you know - aww hell no and this is not fear talking it is guidance telling you run like a pit bull is chasing you for it's dinner
The vibes when you know it is time to leave the job
The vibes you get when it is time to speak up
There are those moments in your life when you know that it is time to move, act, stay, be quiet,talk,run.And you don'tAnd when you stay too long to move you start getting pushed out, so the job you don't like and got the signs to leave you stay and what happens - they fire you, they downsize you, they restructure, the job is gone, different.The relationship you know has served it's time - the person ups and leave you and you get upset. Oh hell no, I was the one to break this off, how dare you?But you didn't act!

Better is Better
This is one of my favorite "What Did I Learn Today? pieces from my girl Stacey Hererra who is an awesome coach that I have had the pleasure of working with, I wanted to share it with you today Peace!
"The urge to rush through pain is normal. You want to get it over with as soon as possible. But while pain may be inconvenient, it almost always comes bearing gifts.Because pain is a signal, not a symptom, it is always accompanied by expansion. Pain’s purpose is to get your attention, fast. So that you can move on and through, not around, to something better.Keep in mind that better is not always grandiose. But better is still better. It may come in the form of an open mind or an open heart. Better could be liberation from a job, a partner, or financial chokehold. Better could be as simple as a new perspective.Pain is not here to make you hurt, it serves to wrangle your awareness. Look at it. Listen to it. Learn from it. And move through it"

Be Love
What Did I Learn Today?"Be love!Be love when you think you have made a mistake that cannot or will not be forgiven.Be love when you suffer material loss or experience material gain.Be love when you are afraid that who you are is not enough.Be love when those you seem to have trusted has abandoned youBe love when you are falsely accusedBe love when the world does not give you the credit you think you deserve.Be love because no matter what is going on love is the one thing that every living soul needs"Peace

Lighter......
Have the conversation so you no longer have to carry the burden. Lighter.
Kick the fake food so your body can re-set to optimal. Lighter.
Bathe your body with complete sensual respect — because it’s YOUR BODY. Lighter.
Sit your beautiful self down and be still so that you can feel life pulsing through you. Stay there just a minute longer because that’s the place where the heavy thoughts give way to the healing truth. Let light pour through you — it’s the most powerful tool in the universe — cleansing, revealing, life-giving. Lighter. Danielle La Porte
This week the pace was up, I have been sitting outside of my comfort zone and truth be told, it is taking a bit of getting used to, the early mornings and late nights - and what it showed me is that making time to rest and regroup is an absolute priority. And so this week I will take and implement the lesson of making time to rest and regroup into the schedule or live through the consequences.
What else has been happening? Well, someone who I thought was a friend, it turns out that this person seems not to be on my page. And I am deducing this by actions as I haven't really asked the question directly. And here I am, I must admit it hit me, it hit me in the gut like a body blow. I was talking to a friend of mine today and I said okay what is my that contributed to where we are, I want to take responsibility for my actions and learn from itHer suggestion was to see if there is a pattern to my behavior but don't take responsibility for other people's actions.
My gut says that the lesson has been learnt, the relationship has changed, and it is my responsibility to accept that and move onThe ole' reason, season, story, people are in your life for a reason and a season.
and life goes on.... LighterPeace
