12/20/12

OMG, this is the first nite of my paid vacation from YogaWorks! The children are safely ensconced with their father in Maryland and will be off to adventures in New Hampshire's great frozen north tomorrow!

Seriously, there has got to be something going on if I suddenly find I have loads of energy, a new outlook on life and a joy, expansiveness and thirst for more for the first time in months and months and months! Even the idea of being with my daughter's sometimes vomiting cat doesn't seem so bad.

Dishwasher is loaded and running, washer is going, dryer is on and I am listening to David Deida, "Spirit Sex Love" and I am having THAT! LOL

So, I have no planned course for the next 9 days. My only guideline is that it has to feel good! And yes, cleaning counts when you feel lighter. :) I am going to dream my life. Or maybe it would be best to say 'Dream My Life.' This is important stuff!

Here is to 12/21/12 and the end of life as I have known it!

New Stuff...

So, so much has gone on in my life! I can't even believe how long it's been since I last posted anything.

It felt like it was time to post once more...just where to begin?

For the past few months, I have been regularly listening to Panache Desai and Rikka Zimmerman. I have truly gained so much more awareness of how we "do" things down here on Planet Earth. And how our very own perceptions are what makes our reality the way it is. I mean, I understood this before, just seeing how we amass the baggage or the vibrational density is quite the trip. And then what we do with it and to ourselves and everyone around us! Boy, howdy.

What if all the stuff you thought was true really wasn't? What if you could put it all down and walk away with your hands up and into a life full of joy and happiness that you yourself could just gift to you? Would you do it? Could you? Or would you prefer hanging on to old stuff feeling like you were "right" but miserable?

How could your life get any better? If you asked yourself this question, were quiet and listened...you may be totally surprised at the answer you receive!

What if it really were as simple as choosing?

What if judgment was a tool to keep you from you? What if it stopped you from receiving everything you are and everything the big, wide, wonderful Universe has to give you? Think about it. You are an Infinite Being.  Infinite. Doesn't that feel huge? Doesn't that feel so big that there is no way you can contain it all in this body and in this life? It's just wild and wooly and wonderful!

I've made some notes on all the insights I have gained and it has opened up so much in me. I actually feel happier and lighter than ever I've felt before!

Change is coming. Coming for me, coming for this planet of ours and everyone on it...I feel like it's time to choose my life. Choose me. Choose my body. Choose my happiness, growth and constant expansion!

New Year Intentions

Well, Friday marked the beginning of my 47th year. It seems very strange to me. I can remember my gran saying she felt like she was 16 inside (just the body wasn't cooperating!). I feel like I'm about 16 in my head. I'm guessing it would be less than cool if I showed up looking like I was 16. Ah, well.

It feels like it is going to be a really good year. Ever since I turned 40, each birthday seems better. At 40, I realized that I have fundamentally been the same person. Nothing about that foundation is changing. No matter what I do. So, why not enjoy? I felt better after that realization, and each year I feel as if I am becoming more and more who I really am. I am finding that it is a journey of self-discovery. I am still learning about who and how I am. This is a good thing!

There are areas of me that I plan on exploring and hopefully developing in the coming months. I am planning on opening the door to new things, to relationship, to creativity and to self-expression.

To an expansive 2012!

Be well.

What Will You Create This Year?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~ Marianne Williamson

Happy New You, 2012!

This has already been such a busy year, I can hardly believe it. It has been busy in a sense that I am pushing my edges and finding the tender spots.

The end of last year, I said that it was time to reinvent myself. I had no idea how true those words!

A new friend of mine, Irit, loaned me the book, "The Highly Sensitive Person." I recognized myself in those pages. While I find that I dislike my own high sensitivity, this trait brings many good qualities into my life. I'll get around to listing them someday! ;)

I was given the message many times that I was "too sensitive" during my childhood. Approximately 15% to 20% of the population is born this way. It all starts in the nervous system. So, I came wired for sensitivity. So, while I no longer see myself as horribly flawed and less than deserving, I struggle to accept the sensitivity. To this day, I still have people telling me how I should or should not be, what I should or should not do, relative to this quality. I find this sad.

However, it's onward and upward!

Be well and bestest wishes for 2012!

Dare to LIVE!
