Let Me Be Clear

So many times I have wished for a window into the future, into the consequences of my choices.

Seeking certainty in my decisions, weighing my intuition against the feedback in my environment, just to be sure I am getting the best deal, walking the right path, doing the proper thing.

All along I have sought clarity to fuel my certainty. I thought that clarity would provide assurance as if my choices could ever be right or wrong.

The day I chose acceptance over assurance is the day I began to realize there are no good and bad choices, no right or wrong.

When I seek assurance in my choices, I am doubting my capacity to be flexible, creative, and resilient.

When I seek to accept my choices I engage compassion for myself and confidence that I will be ok no matter what choice I make.

What does it take to forgive?

To forgive requires an understanding of worth,

a belief that we are all equal and deserving of freedom,

free from the risks of learning.

It takes purity of mission,

integrity of intention,

clarity of thoughts,

truthful words,

and a loving heart.

Purity is the essence of forgiveness,

wiping away our grudges,

removing hurtles,

clearing the slate.

There is a lightness and ease for both the forgiven and the forgiver when judgment and expectation are released and we are each allowed to experience learning and loving

purely,

gently,

freely.

The Good Nut

Of varying form and purpose, we all arrive in a beautiful and powerful way – the key is to remain here not with force but with formidable grace.

Unconditionally

Unconditional

You are light.  I am light.

You are happy.  I am happy.

I see you — the vibrant, perfect energy that is you.

I don’t need you to have struggles in order to feed my stories.

You are loved. You will prosper.

You will release patterns that hurt you.

You are released from serving my insecurities.

Be free of the shackles of my faults, my fears, my challenges. They are not yours.

Thank you for carrying them, for holding onto them so dearly, but you no longer need to.

I don’t need them anymore and neither do you.

We can just exist in the pure and natural state of joy that we are…

no stories, no struggles…

just light and love.

Smiling Eyes

When the care is genuine, unconditional and free,

the eyes portray that authenticity.

When you truly love what you do and where you are,

the heart shines, the air softens, the eyes smile.

When you look into smiling eyes,

there you find hope, joy, inspiration.

There’s No Time In the Present

Time

Time is fleeting, but only if you are looking forward or backward.

If you are truly present, then time is invariable. In the moment, time stands still.

If you want more time to do the things you love, then do the things you love.

Time does not fill spaces, spaces are filled with time.

Live your life fully present and you will find time.

Be Inspired

clouds

Set an intension, a collection of a few words that will guide or inspire you to achieve your true calling – not just how to make money, win friends, or fight the battle, but how to share your unique gifts, how you will leave your mark on the world.

Let the words come to you without too much effort and then let the intension resonate through you, creating a vision, but not an obsession. Allow life forces to rally around your intension and don’t get too caught up in the planning, the how’s and why’s.  Just leap with confidence into each day, knowing that your intension bubbles up from your deepest self and can guide the most amazing, fulfilling experiences…if you just let it.

Free your inner self to guide you and let the Universe do the rest.

Make it a great week!
