Madly in love with life

Live with an open heart and allow the perfection of the present moment to astound you.

That’s Right! Everything unfolds in the perfect way at the perfect time

Daily gratitude is a purposeful way of choosing to create joy in your experience. When spiritual seekers cultivate compassion and empathy, kindness follows. Our thoughts and actions generate an energy that flows throughout our experience. The momentum of love is empowerment.

When you fall madly in love with life, everything changes. Challenges become adventures. Fear transforms into exploration… and every situation provides an opportunity to discover your passion and live it to the best of your ability.

Inhale the precious breath of life. Step into the flow of this moment with ease and grace. You are a master in the process of awakening – how exciting is that?!

Today my intention is to create a world where it is safe to love one another. My loving attitude is reflected back to me by everyone and everything.

The beauty in the contrast

Experiencing the contrasts of life teaches us compassion
 
That’s Right! Everything works toward my highest good
 
As spiritual beings having a human experience, we are here to discover the beauty in contrast. Rain teaches us to appreciate the sunshine, one cannot know light without darkness and compassion occurs when experience has brought us to new levels of understanding.
Judgment, opinion and expectation seal in one kind of experience as preferable and another as a disappointment. The spiritual seeker learns to dance on the terminator between light and dark, knowing that both are part of the same equation and equally important in the process of transformation.
See if you can embrace all that is without judgment knowing that distance and perception can shift everything into the healing energy of love. Together we play the roles necessary for one another’s growth… and there is no greater gift.

Today my intention is to honor all paths as sacred

Happy Winter Solstice!

Be the change that you wish to see in the world today. Step into the realm of infinite possibility and follow the course of your dreams. Think big, walk courageously and allow your beautiful energy to make a difference.

When we embark upon the path of awakening we come to realize that the gifts we receive are endless – new friends, adventures and discoveries abound… and all that is required is that you share your unique gifts and live in your truth.

 

Blessings!

 

The voice of the heart

       We are so accustomed to searching outside of ourselves for answers that it can sometimes be difficult to trust our inner guidance. The voice of the heart speaks in whispers while leading us ever onward on the journey of the soul. As you develop a deeper trust in yourself, you’ll find greater wholeness and balance in your daily walk.

       Consciousness is the light which transforms the darkness in order to help us see more clearly. Never underestimate the beauty and majesty of your awakening. Whether you shine like a beacon in the night or the gentle flame of a flickering candle, the light of the Divine shines through you.

       Many people hide their vulnerability and pain under the armor of anger. Resentment and frustration build within them ready to explode at the slightest provocation. When others lash out in anger, choose to see past the ego-driven behavior to the soul which is engaged in the same journey of awakening.

       Forgiveness must begin within. Knowing how quickly the light of consciousness can change everything, we have daily opportunities to teach by example. One moment it’s there – all the baggage, hatred, struggle and despair – and the next, discarded.

       The source of all life resides within you. This vast amount of energy is available to access when beginning a new project, seeking inspiration and movement forward, or contemplating the healing triggered by interpersonal relationships. You are asked to rise above the stories of the mind and become aware of your infinite nature. You have the ability to transform the energy of the past into light, love and compassion.

          Today my intention is to awaken my true potential.

The transformative power of grace

The awakened person lives in gratitude and joy, content within whatever the present moment offers. This peaceful sense of connectedness comes from inner understanding, unlimited richness and spiritual maturity and is not tied to any desired outcome or reliant upon the decisions of others.

When we become aware that all desire is future based, we discover the true spontaneity of gratitude and see blessings wherever we look. Even in the face of direct opposition or dysfunction, the awakened person is not caught within the trap of someone else’s story. They simply listen with an open heart and respond in the same way – seeing the other’s pain through the filter of compassion.

No matter what has been troubling you or unfolding within your experience, allow grace to infuse the situation. When we approach each moment with a pure heart and sincerity, we open the door for healing, empowerment and liberation to flow throughout our life. Grace is always available for those who are willing to receive it.

Choose to release the struggle and return to the depths of your hearts knowledge. Grace doesn’t mean that valuable lessons disappear, but that we bear witness to the knowledge our soul desired to understand and are then lifted to higher levels and a new vibrational experience. The higher the vibration, the more clearly we can see.

To accept grace, we must be willing to let go of any deep feelings of unworthiness and step into a position of empowerment and personal responsibility. Only then will grace transform your life into an expression of pure love. Surrender creates ease within the flow of life.

Today my intention is to embrace whatever unfolds with an open heart.

The healing power of acceptance

     Whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, all healing requires an attitude of openness and acceptance. As deeply buried wounds rise to the surface it’s important to learn to allow ourselves to be vulnerable and open in order to receive the love of the Universe. All too often, the tendency is to hold onto old energies out of regret or guilt until one feels worthy of being whole, balanced and healthy. However, it’s important to remember that health is not the absence of illness, it is the state of being undefeated by illness, seeing our challenges as teachers and part of the process of awakening.
     Spend the day accepting whatever comes with an open heart and see what happens. Perhaps you’ll feel a flow of vibrant new energy or notice that your body responds differently to things which once caused stress and tension. There’s no need to wait. Find ways to celebrate the joy within you that wishes to be expressed. There are many opportunities to smile, share, hug, console and support for you, dear one, are a temple of light.
     Awareness heals. In meditation, ask your body what it needs. In the stillness, you might be surprised at the answer that comes. Empowering perception and healthy choices arise from consciousness – it is our unconsciousness, our repeating patterns and feelings of disconnection which create imbalance. Gratitude in the present moment is the doorway to joy and you may discover that you have much to offer.
     Today my intention is to allow all life to flow to me with ease and grace.

Your inner purpose is to awaken

Each of us has the same inner purpose – spiritual awakening. The outer purpose – the roles we play, the goals we set and the group of souls with whom we are entwined – can vary differently from person to person. Our unwavering commitment to enlightenment is paramount. It is the purpose of your sojourn here and once realized, provides the foundation for fulfilling the tasks you have set for yourself in this life.

The inner purpose is concerned with being. The outer purpose is concerned with doing. As your consciousness shifts to higher levels, new energy begins to flow throughout every aspect of your life. This beautiful transformation becomes integrated in your responses and outlook and thus, you actively participate in the awakening of the planet.

If you are “trying” to evolve or awaken, that is the ego at work. It brings it’s stories of struggle and practice and works on the belief that it’s somehow hard to become spiritually aware. Allow your commitment to be a gentle desire to live in accordance with joy. Spiritual awakening is a process that cannot be forced. There is no set action that one can take, no rules to follow – instead it is a personal and profound shift in perception that allows you to see life differently.

Your outer purpose may change dramatically throughout your life and that is appropriate. For many years I was committed to being a singer/songwriter. It served the wonderful purpose of helping me to overcome insecurity, discover how to promote myself, cultivate my voice and allowed me to meet my husband. Once I received the gifts that particular goal had to offer, my outer purpose shifted. My commitment now is to share the stories of my growth and to be an authentic example of unconditional love and acceptance. Even my commitment to writing these daily Wow Moments! has changed my life in unexpected and wonderful ways.

So, allow your outer purpose to shift in whatever way feels appropriate to you by following the inner promptings of your heart. All things serve their purpose on your unique Path of Transformation. Your soul’s inner purpose is to awaken. Simple, fulfilling, magical… you can choose to be fully present where you are and take one more conscious step forward.

Today my intention is to allow a deeper meaning to flow into all that I do.
