What Are You Doing Right Now for YOU?

Giving to others that which you want is the quickest way to getting it for yourself.  This is the creme of the crop lesson of the Law of Attraction.  And let it be known that I am ALL about service and giving.  Not just to receive, but to truly give.  It's one of the highest forms of Love.


However, the purpose of this post is to get you stop and think for a moment about one particular angle....  


What do you do right now in your DAILY life that moves you towards your goals?   What are you doing every day that is exciting to you, motivating you to strive forward?   Are you doing it enough?


Making sure we have a strong inflow of motivation is a great gift for ourselves.  What is coming into your stream of consciousness day in and day out?  Does it encourage more growth or fear?


Most likely you can use a tune-up on your intake.  


Some examples I've found helpful are: 

  • listening to audio recordings and watch YouTube videos of mentors once per week (first find out who they are - and be very selective)
  • setting time aside for research on topics that are naturally interesting to you (and be open to how you can integrate them more into your life)
  • making an appointment with yourself to peruse books at the bookstore (and see where it takes you...)
  • always taking a class that is interesting to you and helping you grow in some way or another
  • balancing how much TV you watch or your other forms of electronic usage with getting outside and walking, playing, and being in natural settings
One great avenue of inspiration that is often overlooked is entering silence and tuning within.  How much time do you get in a quiet space?  This can be taken in a nourishing bath or can also be a time of  sacred prayer.  Whatever it is, make sure you have some time to yourself that is actually happening in your schedule as well.



First of all, know what these things are.  Then follow up and prioritize them in your days. 


The more you nurture yourself, the more you have to give to others.  It's a wonderful cycle.  


INjoy =)

Being Happy - From the *Inside* Out

I've always been a people watcher.  As a young girl, I openly looked at everyone I came in contact with, wondering who was the happiest?  It was a little disheartening during my exploration to uncover that it seemed that almost everyone had a significant amount of unhappiness and troubles in life.  I guess I wanted to live a fairy tale.  Some people, however, had a great time with life, even through its challenges. I noticed that those who were overall most happiest usually had a sense of humor about their experience.  They weren't richer, more beautiful, or better off.  They were just happy with what was and were strong in rolling with it.  Everyone goes through hard times. Being truly happy is not by getting somewhere or accomplishing something.  It is a part of who you are .  It is your character, your essential being, the fabric of you.  Children are often born with a knowing of it, but many of us lose touch with this understand...

Love Is

“…And the greatest of all these is love.” ~Corinthians You could explore and study love for your whole lifetime and still never fully understand it. You may only catch a glimpse of its fascinating possibilities. Love is one of those expansive eternal forces - far beyond our senses’ ordinary perception. It is something many dream of, imagine about, and wait for. Some say love is the essence of all there is and that love is the answer. Some say love hurts or it doesn’t even exist. Some prophets say that there is only love or fear at the root of everything - and that love is the only truth. We all have different versions and understandings of love - which evolve throughout our lifetime. They may range from a feeling for a soul mate to one about a favorite shirt. Love can be a sweet nickname or a feared word. Some express it with tenderness, others with strength. Some say I love you to everyone. Some reserve it only for “the one”. Others never say it at all. It can be as simple a...

Licorice Grandpa

In high school I wrote this story about my beloved Grandpa Chuck.  I just read it again yesterday for the first time in 15 years to my son.  I am very thankful to remember these details I had forgotten and to share the essence of such a wonderful man with my boy.   I also realized how much of an impact he has made on me that still holds in my character today.  In memory of grandpa, here is the story.  Slightly edited. :) Licorice Grandpa My grandpa was simply the best.  There is no way I can describe what an incredible person he was.  He seemed to be the only grandpa alive who was still "a kid" inside.  It is because of these reasons that my grandpa Chuck has made an impact on how I live my life today. One of the best memories I have of my grandpa is going to his house every holiday.  My family would enter my grandparent's huge immaculate house and be overtaken with the strong thick smell of my grandpa's pipe.  As soon as we ...
