Whenever life shifts, when it changes and creates what may appear to be discord in our lives, feeling the discord then letting it go helps ease our suffering and allows the resistance to soften so we may continue on our path…when we can pick up the pieces of whatever’s broken we have an opportunity to create something more beautiful and life vivifying than what came before.
Here’s to picking up the pieces and creating a work of art!
xoxo love to you all 🙂
I have some experience with the challenges around this topic. My inclination had always been to put others’ needs first before mine, to minimize my needs so as to accommodate others. While that is absolutely necessary in life, a balance needs to be created between dispensing our energy and energizing ourselves.
We need to get in order to give.
How do we replenish ourselves of the energy we give away? Through loving ourselves. That’s it. The love we give away must be equal to the love we show ourselves. Otherwise, we end up depleted and defeated. The challenge here is that often we hold the belief we don’t deserve it. For some reason, we don’t feel as worthy of receiving as those who receive.
As we live our lives, we often lose touch with the loving, divine beings we are. We are made up of pure love. The energy that fuels us is love energy. That love energy is what makes up the universe. That universal energy is flowing through us and is everywhere, all the time. It’s an unbroken cycle. If we lack the love for ourselves that we endeavor to give away, we disconnect from that universal love. We temporarily break and disconnect from our source. Without source energy flowing through us, we deplete our own. We cannot give what we don’t have. So if we truly want to share with and serve others with our love, we must connect and replenish with the love of the universe.
Make sense? Let me know your thoughts!
Love To You!!
Life is unpredictable.
I used to be so uncomfortable with that saying. I needed a schedule that didn’t change. I had to function within certain parameters where, if they were breached with an unexpected “whatever”, I would be sent spinning.
What I never realized was how afraid I was. I carried a fear of living around with me all the time, yet was completely unaware of the extent to which it affected my life. I figured it was something that was a part of life. Most of us are afraid. That’s just how it is. That’s why we get life insurance. That’s why we save for retirement. That’s why we go to the doctor and take the pills we take.
We’re afraid of living. We’re afraid of dying.
But, why? Why do we see this life as something to be feared? Why do we see death as something to be feared?
Why do we approach life, the most natural thing in the world, as if it is something to be endured, suffered through and ultimately end through this horrible thing called death?
I didn’t get it.
Then, I died.
Then, I got it.
We come here with the experience of who we are in our most fundamental state of being, which is pure, conscious love, and with that, all the joy that comes with it.
When we come into the body, we have the experience of the suffering that occurs when we are separated from the source of who we really are. We’re in the body so we may once again endeavor to experience the joy of who we are. When we do so, we are able to understand the difference between suffering and joy, and when we live to experience only joy, we cease to suffer. We’ve returned.
Love to you 🙂
To accept what is happening in the present moment is not about rolling over and being a victim. It’s about putting our attention on what is in that moment, while intending the next. Where the intention comes from is what’s important. When it comes from a space of love, from our true nature, the next moment is allowed to evolve from this, and so goes your life. It’s a beautiful journey!
Love to you all!
These words confuse me a little.
We call no longer living death. We call death the after life. But, what is death, really?
In my experience, death is the transition from the physical form in this 3-D world to a less dense existence in the “spiritual” realm. We are still “alive” though, just in a different space with a different awareness.
It’s all about awareness.
What I learned in my “afterlife” was we get to choose our awarenesses, everywhere, all the time. Whether in physical form or spiritual form, we choose. Based on our choices, we create and co-create our experiences.
Death is not the end, it is a transition. It is a transition of consciousness from one awareness to another. It’s a shift from here, to there. A movement from life to life.
This picture was taken in the Bahamas a few years ago. I loved the tangled beauty of the branches that seemed to reach out to the sky like fingers ready to grasp the unknown.

What does it mean to be Aware
It means to have the knowledge that you and everything contained in all there is are one. There is no separation between you, me, nature, the stars, and so on. All of it is the collective “We”.
We are, I am, the Alpha and the Omega.
With this awareness, there is no separation from anyone or anything. When the “I” becomes “We”, our entire world takes on new meaning. There is a shift in perception that re-creates the bond with the infinite divine that was fully present in our awareness before birth, and is challenged in the face of the duality of this world, only to be fully present once again through re-experiencing our true nature. We may have this experience here, in our body, if we choose to. In our physical and nonphysical form we have, and always have, free will.
My experience in both near death and this life on earth is that we are seamless forms of consciousness, only here we are not always aware this is so.
How do we cultivate awareness? First, by acknowledging the possibility that what we see isn’t all there is. What we experience in physical form is only one part of the story, and no matter which part we experience, it is just as important as another. There are no exceptions, but, we always have free will to choose what kind of experience we have. We have the ability to change our reality at any moment in time.
