manifesting desires

What if we don't have to manifest our desires.... Everything that we could possibly desire for ourselves is already IN the world so why do we think we have to work so hard to 'manifest'? How then, can we get the experiences we desire? How about saying Yes to our desire.... but first we stop saying no to our limits.

Accepting what Is creates a space to change what we experience because then we are not bound by the denial of that experience.

Embracing what Is gives us the opportunity to enjoy the moments, one by one.
I think practicing acceptance of what is and feeling desire makes it look as though all our desires are manifesting... right before our eyes.

world wide love yourself day!

I decided today is the day to celebrate Loving Yourself Day. Maybe tomorrow will bring the same, but for today...Love Your Self!
Hence, Now Today is "Love Yourself Day" world wide.

If anyone asks what day "Love Your Self Day" is the answer is always: Today!

As we all celebrate ourselves; every one will be celebrating.
As we all love ourselves today; every one will all be loved.
As we all bless ourselves today; every one will be blessed.
As we all think about love today; every one will be thinking of love.
As we all celebrate Life today; Life will be about celebrating.

Someday you will say yes to Love... Will it be Today?

With every one the around the world thinking this way...where will we be in the next "now"?

Where will we be when we get to where we were going? One day, Today... we change the world.

Will you participate? Send this message on to others.

Give yourself a hug, look in to your eyes and smile; blow yourself a kiss. Take a deep breath and laugh out loud.

how much is that pink elephant?

You know the one, the one with the wiggly tail.

How much does this Pink Elephant cost us individually?

What pink elephant am I talking about? Denial; classic denial of the thoughts, emotions and conditions that we are subliminally tripping on and still refusing to acknowledge and release.What are the real consequences of denial? I notice for me the price is self-love, which cost me joy and peace in the now.

To deny the existence of any energy means acknowledging that it exists as least as a possibility, and that you refuse to give it any energy. Of course this is like our proverbial pink elephant, the more you refuse to think about something that you refuse to admit exists, the more painful it comes to deny it all together.

Then ‘some day’ comes, and what you’ve denied blows up like so much pink elephant goo and guts all over your life. Quite messy. Denial. If you are denying it, then it exists. It will not go away; it will change forms, change plans, colors, time, space and material…but it will not go away.

Acknowledge the pink elephant in the living room, feed it, love it and then ask what she has to say to you.

The real cost is joy.

We don’t have to accept the pink elephants, but we have to look at them enough to realize their gifts and then we can gently prod them out of our lives.

Loving Life allows us to embrace all of Life and the messy parts and not be afraid. Really seeing the dirty stuff allows us to fully be present, now. The action of facing your denial is akin to cleaning up a big puddle of cat pee with a roll of Bounty…”the quicker picker upper”. Always nasty, but much easier when we just do it Now. Life’s messy, clean it up!

every day challenges

Every day challenges.

Every day we are faced with the challenges of being human and every day we are called to turn from the illusion of the material world to a view of the spiritual world; the creation of a better world. The question is how can I stop all the bad things from happening so that I can really be happy?

We don’t want to stop all the ‘bad’ things from happening because from the contrast of the experiences you are having you realize what you would rather experience in your life.

Every challenge is not a chance to change the bad things, but to chance your mind from calling anything in your life bad. Every condition or circumstance in your life today is some part of who you are and none of it is bad. That is the responsibility part; deciding that this outside event sucks and is going to ruin my life is a choice as is deciding this outside event is leading to an outcome that is going to far better than I imagined.

Please understand that this does not in any way circumvent the need to grieve or experience and express any emotion over loss of circumstances, loved ones or whatever it is that has brought you pain. This is the old “new thought” way. “No matter what happens, don’t suffer, look for the good!” Bah!

Indeed…but suffering is what helps us humans grow and we are need to feel a whole range of emotions.

Celebrate your humanness today by finding something to cry about, laugh about, get angry about or get scared about! To be even more daring… do something about it!!!

good in the painful times

Where is Good in the midst of this experience that hurts so bad?

This is a question that I asked myself when I used to deny any bad that appeared in my life. Instead of just accepting what was, I always wanted to find and focus on the things that might make me feel better or at least keep my head above water.

Today I think I realize that the good is the gift of going through the hurt to the other side, where the peace that always is, awaits your attention of it.

I have recently realized that it was not a lack of self love or esteem that I 'suffered' from, as my spiritual "leader" insisted, but a confusion resulting in the chaos and all the while forcing myself to search the whys and reasons I did not love myself. All along I knew something was not right; in hindsight it was because I accepted family's, community's, boss's opinions over me, relegating my inner knowing to the back seat.

That is what is coming alive in me again... I no longer believe in the separation so many seem to think still exists, and I have glimpses of my journey ahead. And yes, I do love myself, every inch from head to toe, all of my quirks, my unique mind and open heart.

Yes, there is always good in any painful situation, but it's not something to be looked for until the belief that caused the pain is changed. But it is something to look forward to!
