Enjoy the Ride

Are you enjoying your spiritual journey? If you've envisioned what you want, and are making the steps toward the goal, be sure to have fun on the ride. Don't wait til you get there to laugh, make friends and celebrate.

Imagine that you are on a gorgeous boat, have set your course and trimmed the sails.  You may hit some rough water and there may be calm spots that produce little movement. Enjoy it all.

You're going anyway, might as well enjoy the ride.

Namaste,

Give to Yourself

'For it is in giving that we receive'... from The Prayer of Saint Francis

In reading this, it's easy to assume that the giving must be outward; that we must give to others before receiving for ourselves. But this would be disconnecting ourselves from others. You are a part of everyone else, therefore you are one of the things to be given to.

In fact, you must give to yourself first.

Treat yourself with giving and the Universe will know to treat you even more. Then as you are filled with joy, you will be able to give to others as well.

Namaste,

Timing is Everything

I schedule, plan, set short and long-term goals, fill my Day Planner, and write a things to do list.  Everything is going to go just as I foresee.

Oh, but wait! I asked the Universe for happiness and the Universe, with all of it's own planning stuff, has a different agenda then I do.  All of my planning plays second fiddle to the Universal Planner.

There are two options here. 1. Force my schedule and take longer to get what I want.  2. Go with the schedule changes that the Universe brings and reach happiness as fast as the Universe can travel.

Hmmm, yeah, I'm going for door number two.

Power > Excuses

I was going to write this blog earlier, but I ran out of cat food, my dog needed a walk, my son wanted to show me how to use a Diablo, the cupboards needed cleaning and there was a glass of red wine screaming to be sipped.  It's not my fault this took so long to write.

This may all be true but...

Giving excuses gives away my power because I am not being responsible for my own life. Giving away my power reduces my ability to change my life.

Why do I want to change my life?  Because I want to increase my happiness.

And who increases my happiness? Me.

So, I am writing this blog right now because it brings me happiness.  No excuses.

I do have to admit that I always maintained my power over those dirty cupboards. In no way did they coerce me into cleaning them over writing this blog.

Namaste,
