Echo: that inner voice

When do you spend time with yourself and reflect on who you are, what you did, and how could you have done today’s activities better? Do you make time to listen to the echo of your soul to avoid costly mistakes or regrets?
It is so easy to get caught up in the day and later wonder “okay, what did I do today, where did the time go, and is it really time for bed now?”
To have balance and keep my sanity, I must make time for myself and listen to that inner voice. When I listen to that inner voice, I tend to complete activities with ease-conversations with others are much better and I say what I mean instead of trying to please others, I get the parking spot I wanted, the food I cooked taste so much better, etc.
So, I have been trying to meditate, on a consistent basis, at least 2x a day-early morning and right before bed after putting the kids to bed. It is wonderful how my thinking is clearer and how answers to questions/concerns come to me with ease when I take the time to be quiet and listen. When I listen to the voice within, I am in the zone, and being in the zone or at one with the universe, is a great feeling.
If we are always occupied with activities or always in the company of others, can we truly get to know who we are and how to best use our body and our mind?

Faded: put those negative thoughts to rest
Posted on December 1, 2016 Leave a Comment
Faded are the old ways of thinking: Make the most of your life.
1. To no longer live life on someone else’s terms. We all have the right to follow our own dreams and passions.
2. To no longer occupy the day with just things to do. To press forward, we must intentionally plan the day with activities that are in alignment with your goals. Time does not stand still for us make up our minds to do something.
3. To no longer fear the word “no”. To ask questions and let the other person tell you no instead of not asking and wondering if the outcome would have been different if you had asked your question. There is always a way to get something done. Put your creative cap on, and you will find a way.
4. To no longer put yourself in relationships that do not support you. It’s not so much the number of relationships you have, it is more about the quality of your relationships. Do you feel replenished or drained after speaking with a “friend”? Does your “friend” find every chance to put you down and belittle your efforts to be better and do better? Does he or she always want to keep those not so positive memories fresh in your mind? “Remember when you did this and that…….”
5. To no longer deny your desire to further your education, own your business, or embrace and develop your special gifts and talents. Believe in yourself and have confidence that you were designed the way you are for a reason.
Your life story will educate, empower, and inspire others to heal within and to pursue their dreams. Give hope where there is despair, give directions where there is no road map, and give love where there is hate.
Be the positive transformation you would like to see in the world.

Culture: What will we do?
Posted on November 30, 2016 5 Comments
Are you able to see the beauty and truth in someone else’s culture?
I am thankful for the diverse cultures that we have and so much truth and value in what others practice. I believe that there is so much to learn from other cultures instead of belittling and discriminating groups of people because they do not practice what you practice, how you practice it, and when you practice it. I am still hopeful that as we evolve, more and more individuals will come to the realization that just because others are different does not mean that they are inferior. We were not made to war against each other based on culture. Our differences were meant to serve a higher purpose. We can either let our differences be necessary groundwork in evolving to our higher selves or continue to stay stagnant in old beliefs and practices that do not serve humanity.
It is such a waste of energy and time to focus on our differences. We are more alike than we are different.
