In Bliss
I've had this new "policy" of only watching movies that are uplifting.
The ones that make me want to off myself by the time I get to the end of them? Nah. All set with those.
It's okay if some sad or depressing shit happens in these movies, as long as there's a happy ending. And I'm getting pretty good at what words Netflix uses as code for "uplifting" versus "makes you suicidal and/or homicidal". I don't know. Maybe it's just me. In any case, doesn't matter, 'cause it's what works for me.
So the other night I'm watching this movie with Kate Hudson ...
In Fairyland
Once upon a time, I had a partner whose favorite thing about me was that I believed in fairies. Yes, that's right. Fairies. I still do, believe in them, that is.
Yesterday morning I was on my jog, and it was raining pretty hard. I was running on a wooded path, and as I looked down I saw what looked like an aspen leaf (kind of heart-shaped, go figure) on the ground, underside up. It was filled with water, which made me think of fairies, since fairies are often depicted using such things as containers for their water. And I did have the thought that the leaf ...
You Are My Favorite
I used to have a supervisor at a job years ago that said (to all of the employees under her): "You are all my favorite for different reasons." At the time, I thought maybe that was her way of discouraging anyone from ever striving to be her favorite, or of having to admit she HAD favorites.
Now, I'm not so sure about that. You may know, I've been a bit obsessed with Abraham lately. Last week, I heard them telling about a four-part daily practice that they recommend. One of the parts is getting out in nature every day, no matter what the weather, and basically ...
My Declaration
I notice I get a little prickly when people seem to be objectifying me, especially as it relates to my business. Okay, yes, the name of my business is Synergistic Energy Exchange (S.E.X.), and I happen to be someone whom a lot of people find sexy and pretty. And- this part I can say subjectively- I have a lot of sexual energy, and I exude it. Yup, it's all true. AND, it is not my intention nor my aim in life to either entertain you with my stories about S.E.X. nor provide for you material for your "spank bank."
I am not unconscious enough to believe that I am ...
One Big Analogy
Some of you may have seen a picture of my bloody knees that I posted on social media yesterday. Yes, I did that. Not sure if it was a great idea, almost took it down, and I didn't. My point was NOT "poor me", but people seemed to have a strong reaction to it, like it was some horrible thing.
Honestly, when it happened- I wiped out and hit the frozen earth while I was jogging- all I could think of was how pain was just part of life. And it doesn't have to be any big deal. I have mostly been feeling SUPER GOOD...and then I created some pain. Sometimes the pain ...
If You Listen
Sometimes, clients will ask me what I think they "should be" working on. Last week, during the tail end of Mercury Retrograde, I had enough snafus to prove to myself that my standard answer to that question is very good advice: if there is something that is your/my next learning edge, it will present itself. We don't need to go digging into the past, OR the present, in order to clearly see what our next growth opportunity is.
I'll tell you a story, even though it's fairly embarrassing, of what pointed me in the direction I need to be going right now. As many of ...
Stay Calm and Be on Vacation
This had to have been "on purpose". I just went on the most amazing vacation. My daughter and I had so much fun, 24/7 for 8 days. Okay, maybe there were a total of like 20 minutes all together that we weren't having an absolutely fabulous time. And we were in the FLOW. I mean, synchronicity abounds kind of flow! We would meet the "right" person, get the "right" travel tips, go the the "right" restaurants, have interactions with the "right" feral cats. ;)
We planned very little ahead of time. Often we would decide the night before or the morning of each day ...
I Am a Rockstar
I just finished writing my annual list of all my accomplishments for 2015. (This is a practice I began about ten years ago while attending the Hendricks Institute for life coaching.) This year, I am pretty sure I had a record number of accomplishments written down: seventy-eight! I'm not sure if this means I actually progressed more in 2015 than I have in any other year, or I have simply gotten better at noticing and appreciating what I've been able to do in a year's time. And frankly, I don't care which it is. My general conclusion is this: I am a fucking ...
Oh, Fuckity Fuck
And I mean that in the absolute BEST way possible!
I am learning about surrender. I am learning about doing things the easy way. I am learning about letting go of the struggle.
Right now I feel like I am floating.
I just let go of some things that I have been carrying for a very, very long "time"- AND, time doesn't exist.
I didn't do it through effort- well, some of it I did. And then, I shifted into surrender. I shifted into letting the process be effortless. I allowed myself to be fully supported, physically and non-physically, and through ALLOWING I ...
