Hush....Listen to the winds, she doth blow...

Hush....Listen to the winds, she doth blow...

October's Heart by Jean Hart

Live your life from your heart.

Share from your heart,

And your story will touch and heal people's soul.

_Melody Beattie



There is a season for everything, so they say. Sometimes there is a season to be still, and quite. To be hushed. The Fall is a time to reap the harvest. Bring in the rewards for a job well done. If you keep talking you may miss the splendor of silence, or even a compliment.  You have said enough. You have made your points. Let someone else talk, or better  yet just be still and enjoy what is yours. There is a power to saying nothing.

So, HUSH, Hush, hush.

A Shifting Propective

A Room With A View
 

Shift, yes, maybe it's time to shift your prospective.

Imagine all the possibilities in your day that you may not see if you didn't shift your eyes.

move your head,  balance on one foot, and turn around.

Perspective is a shifty thing. All the lines can be measured perfectly but something may feel off.

Check where are you standing. Do you need to move?

Art is funny that way too, just like life. Sometimes everything seems perfect, a good fit, lines are  straight, and just like that, everything is off balance.

Mindfulness, too is like that. Sometimes you feel like you have all you need, or too much or simply not enough. Yes, too much of a good thing will put you off balance to.

When my routine is disturbed, I get a little off balance.

Sometimes I have even had to do a do over in the morning, only it's later that day. Go back to what I missed in the morning that threw me off.

The crazy thing is that there are no two days the same. Not even if you do the same things each day.

You are not the same person you were yesterday that you are today.

It is truly up to you how you handle shifting.

Blessed....What are merciful actions?

HEALING.....

SOMETIMES IT TAKES

EVERYONE TO HELP.

I was given a set of healing cards. They are so beautifully written.

By Caroline Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso

After I have pulled a card and sat with it for awhile, I like to try to give images to the words.

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Mercy is a rare word, one hardly spoken. What are merciful actions?

Not judging another; speaking with kind words;

thinking compassionate thoughts about others.

May acts of mercy

come your way.

The first saying, from Psalm 41 of the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, offers an astute psychological insight that is recognized increasingly today. Absorption in our own troubles, or in our unending need for gratification, creates a negative momentum that can lead not only to Narcissus, but to addictive and high-risk behavior as well. When we move the focus of our attention from ourselves to others, we also remove an enormous burden from our backs. The need to satisfy our unrealistically high expectations. As the Dalai Lama might put it,

 compassion is its own reward."

Well, there is it. So well put that I can not offer another word.

SOUL COACHING DAY 28

SOUL COACHING

DAY 28

EARTH WEEK

Today is the last day......it's been a great 28 days.

I'm just a bit sad....but then again, so many things have changed.

The last day was awesome.

Creating a circle of love, preparing a alter, and, finding my center.

If I was to pick the best week, I could not. Each week delivered its own challenges and surprises.

I grew leaps and bounds.

Earth week came with the most important career decisions and opportunities.

Having gone through the first weeks allowed for me not to panic and make a sound decision. One that really reflected me.

Today's affirmation

"I give love deeply and fully. I receive love deeply and fully. My essence is love."

I asked that I could open myself up to trust more, live fuller, and love completely.

New people came, old ones left and those who are still standing at the sidelines are still waiting for something to happen.  They missed it!!!

I sent my postcards to France for the mail art exhibit, "How Do You See Disabilities in the World?'

Looking back on the time of my injury give  me so much to be grateful for. While I'm not yet where I once was, I am no longer as disabled as I once was either.

Reminding myself everyday that my life is getting better, healthier, happier and stronger.

On this last day of Soul Coaching, I did level 3

Go to the Center of Your Being.

Honestly, it's long, so here is my take on it.

Put the music on LOUD, MOVE YOUR BODY, ROUND AND ROUND, SHAKE, DANCE, AND FEEL THE RHYTHM OF THE MUSIC.

Then stop, turn the music off, close your eyes, and go to the center of your being.

Feel all the emotions of the last 28 days, all the feelings, and all the coincidence's you have had.

You made it through what I think was a very intense 28 days of soul coaching.

From Day 1 to Day 28

I can see the transformation.

I loved this book.

Blue Monday, Earth Day

Blue Monday

 

In this blue Monday I see a beauty,

she shines her smiling face to me,

open your heart and share her works,

embrace her spirit, her vision, her earth.

Her hues are many and her energy grand,

all your have to do is look up and smile back.

A gift she gives, a painting of her own,

Be blessed and spread her works on this

coming earth day.
