What a week

Between the Pepsi fiscal, United Airlines, Sean Spicer, Syria, CBS's Survivor it's been quite a week.  And I'm probably missing a few things.  I think one thing we're learning in this 'new age' is the power of social media.

The movement's are important for change.  We can have a voice as a collective and it seems "be the change we wish to see".    

Now if we could only do as much with our personal relationships.  We can't force change in interpersonal relationships even if we'd like to.  

There will be those in our lives who will ignore us, not speak to us, not respond to text messages or other forms of communication.  Now we could spatter these thoughts all over the internet.  Or we can sit the experience, not post them on social and see where our attachments lie.

Are we attached to the people, the experiences, the precious moments of the past?  If we sit with these uncomfortable personal experiences we may begin to grow.  We may learn some individuals are teaching us (even if we don't wish to be taught).  

Maybe we are learning lessons of healthy personal boundaries or self love? 

I think the best we can do when it comes to those who are challenging us is breath into the moments of peace (or count to 10 - 10x ..LOL).  Stay present and true to self.    

As you spend time with your loved ones this weekend, remember sometimes you are being taught.  And sometimes you will teach. We can force change or we can allow... which will you choose?

Wishing you a great long weekend & Happy Easter to those who celebrate.

Forewarned is forearmed and all that

Last weekend when the moon was in Cancer it was an emotional roller coaster of a time; not just for me, but for many.   I missed hearing about it from the astrologists that I listen to on a daily/weekly/monthly basis as I was without internet access (there's enough stress in simply that fact, right?  LOL)  I find most of the time these guys have a knowing that if listened to can shift and change our experience.

I heard about the emotional roller coaster weekend after I exited the ride. 

If I had known beforehand maybe I would have dealt with things differently or at the very least had been better prepared.  Not that it was all that bad (in fact it was fairly good).  I just found people to be emotional and as an empathy I sucked it all in.

Half the time lately I'm not sure if its me being pre-menopausal or the others, but I know I'm growing and stretching into the mystic from what I'll call the river rocks ride.  (That time when you are tumbled around to smooth out your rough edges....yes it still happens to me and it's far from pleasant experientially.)

So this time I'm ready for it! 

Here's the Mantra from Kaypachya & the video I'll post the link below for the weekend.....

"As I speak my truth I must be prepared,
For others to feel, react, and share,
If I can get over feeling threatened and scared,
I will learn the lessons Life has for me there."

As I'm off to a family reunion - this is good information.... and reminder to stay unreactive.

And to pack emergency homeopathics in case I get a case of menopausal erratic emotions showing up ontop of the 'look at me' Leo zaniness. 

Here's my mantra for the weekend - when in doubt... drug yourself!  LOL

Play safe & remember to breathe!
Love

A Millionaire Mind

I must tell you I'm still on a high from the seminar on the weekend. And oddly enough ...T. Harv Eker author of The Millionaire Mind (who I knew nothing about at all...I must admit) was awesome. I really enjoyed this guy!

I'll also admit he spent a lot of time yelling at us, but it was all good. It really pushed us to think of what we are currently doing and what it is we could do differently if we truly wish to see changes occur.

Glad I'm older now, in my younger years I wouldn't have listened to a word he said!

He also challenged us to go an entire 7 days without complaining once. I'll also admit I complained today for the first time.

I can't revisit what it was about without offering it more energy. Yet the fact remains I did. I don't consider it failure. One complaint since this past Saturday is pretty good if you ask me!

I challenge you to do it as well! For 7 days...no complaining.

I'd love to hear how it goes.

Secret Boyfriend

I'm listening to one of my Secret boyfriends, Joe Vitale . It's an interview between him and Bill Harris. They are speaking about manifesting your life etc. What I'm finding rather interesting is how everyone (including myself and these two men + countless others) really have hit bottom before they/we have brought really large shifts or changes to life.

Think about the people you know....maybe even yourself. When the largest shifts occur for us its normally after we have been challenged to our limits.

Then we begin to move toward change and afterwards are so thankful to have gone through those experiences.

Definitely a peculiar universe we live in wouldn't you agree?

PS. As it seems March is to come in like a lion, I guess it will go out like a lamb.

To Give

I was speaking with my Mom this morning about the Secret. She is very good at applying the laws of attraction and thinking of what she would like to see manifest in her life; but, as most people, can get easily sidetracked so words do not support belief. During the conversation we discussed a woman who is having issues with health. This woman spends so much time focusing on illness, she is creating it in her life. What we focus on becomes truth. We agreed we all have our challenges; some more, some less. Mom said, "And I have a challenge for you!"

Uh ho

She challenged me to
1) Begin to donate $10 per month to a charity of my choice.

Normally, I donate to Trent University or Amnesty International; once per year.
Monthly? Hmmmm...

2) Open a savings account in which I deposit $5.00 per month.

Now, if I say I can't then I am focusing on lack. If I have enough or more than enough then this should be easy, right?
