Everything is energy. I've known this for years. Color affects our moods, our health; it heals or it drains. This I have taught for years. And yet here I am again at the beginning, reminding myself of what I know to be true.
Energy is movement. We are movement. Our lives are movement and color. Movement and color are vibration reflecting who we are. How is it we find ourselves in a state of knowing who we are, yet in total contradiction, surround ourselves with that which is not us at all? Further more, why do we work so hard to change our core essence, our original vibration, when the original state is exactly who we were created to be? Full circle, back to "Don't Change For Heaven's Sake", living at the core of energy, the core of our existence.
How easily we choose clothes which drain our spirit, surround ourselves with colors that do not enliven our senses. We hear our soul calling but cannot answer back. We long for health and vitality, all the while living in opposition to our truth. We find a role model who seems to be what we would be, and begin to fashion ourselves in their image, not noticing we are masking our own truth.
We fall out of sync with our personal design, our homes the perfect decorating magazine or filled with clutter as we try to live with who we wish we were instead of who we really are. We keep those favored ornaments and pictures, given by friends and loved ones along the way. We cannot let them go for they are memories, how our friends and family have seen us through the years. So we hang on to their perception, afraid they would not love the soul we truly are. Amongst those trinkets we have placed our longing to be free and in the midst we find not truth, but mere acceptance of the mess we created in our journey, unable to release the past, and still hopeful for a future filled with bliss.
Such contradiction causes the storm within ourselves, and so without, mirrored in the fierce winter storms, tornados, hurricanes. We see and feel the horror of this physical reflections, blaming nature and higher powers for our predicaments, yet never look within to stop the raging there. Energy pure and simple must be what it is, for it can be nothing else. Each of us must find balance within, so what is above, below and beside and can also balance itself out again.
And we would accept and cling to the physical pain, the emotional struggle, to hang on to what is not ours to keep. Our need to be the power goes so far that we would rather control than be well. If we admit we have been out of touch with ourselves, release the false beliefs, and return to our original energy state, how different would life be?
It is not that we are drained of energy, or out of vitality, for that can never be. That is all we are, that is all everything you see around you is - pure energy. It cannot be lost, only misdirected. It cannot be drained, only resisted. It can never be too much, only misunderstood. Each of is a unique energy system, and when we allow ourselves to be as we were created, accepting the energy we were given, and flow with the natural vibration as inspired within us, we find the depth and beauty of life. In balance we begin to balance the forces around us. In balance, we find our true desires, always there. Health, joy, love, peace, wealth, all in abundance.
This I write with hope and promise for 2014. As you set your goals and dreams for the coming year, ask not, "Who am I?" or "What is my path?" Instead, know you are you, a perfect creation. Know your path is to live on this earth, integrating your unique energy with others to create a world of harmony, fulfilling the experiences as they arise, and trusting that each day will bring new opportunities to express the truth of your creation. In faith, know you are here for a reason, and the reason will be revealed, when you allow your energy to flow freely, without restriction of social programming, the latest fashion magazine, or the undue influence of others.
Decide today, to begin anew this coming year. Be you, the energy of you.
Many Blessings

Thanksgiving
Every year at this time I am reminded of life on the farm. This was always a traditional weekend of being genuinely grateful. Though there were years we were still combining, there was a feeling of abundance in the air; a knowing that the crop would soon be off and the bins filled.
This year, the crispness of the air, the warmth of the sun and the breeze gently drying the morning dew, reminds me so much of those harvest days. I miss watching golden grain flow from combine to truck, from the truck into the bin. Even better were the years when the bins were full, so we were forced to set up make-shift bins to hold the grain until we could take it to the elevator. The air filled with scents of fall - hay, grain dust, drying leaves, the damp fertile earth.
Today as I stand on my deck, taking a deep breath, I take in that same aroma of fall and give thanks for the farmers who work so hard to provide us with nutritious, delicious foods. I am grateful for those who process and package these same foods, as well as the stores that stock it. We are so blessed with choices. We often take our abundant lives for granted.
Even the turning leaves are the color of gold. Looking over a valley with its opulent oranges, reds, golds and yellows brings awareness of the richness of our lives. Take a moment today to look around you. Go for a walk, taking in the sights, smells and sounds of fall. Even though it means winter will soon be upon us, take this time to be grateful for all the seasons provide for us.
If you are one who has trouble remembering to be thankful for each day, take a dry erase marker or glass writer and put the words "Attitude of Gratitude" on your bathroom mirror or on a window you look out often. You may also wish to write other affirmations of thanksgiving or well-being. This is one sure way of never allowing yourself to take the Blessing of Life for granted.
Remember the more grateful you are in each moment, the more each moment gives you something to be grateful for.
Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving weekend and a year of abundance and prosperity, filled with appreciation for all that life provides.

Remembering Who You Are & Why You Are Here
I have been sitting with the workbook, considering how I can present the material each week, so participants can really feel the blessing of life. As I ponder the material I realize there are three things I would hope to have everyone walk away from the 8 week program knowing in their hearts:
We put too much stress on ourselves, trying to be what society has decided we need to be. We put too much stress on the need to control ourselves, our lives, our circumstances. We live in fear that if we don't meet the expectations of our loved ones, we will lose them, if we do not perform exactly according to the standard of our bosses, we will be unemployed, if we don't give our children everything they want, they will hate us...... Before we know it we have forgotten who we really are.
Then we go for help in sorting out the mess and we are told - well change this or that and everything will work out. In a short time we notice that yes, things have changed, but we still haven't lost the fear or need to be accepted and appreciated by others. We are still unhappy.
We turn again for help and we are told - forgive yourself - and at once we take on the acceptance that we are the cause of all the problems. We beat ourselves up for all the mistakes and errors of our past and remember our parents telling us all the things that made us fearful of rejection in the past. We may not remember them all, but our subconscious does, and our ego just loves to remind us. And in the admission of asking ourselves for forgiveness we enforce within ourselves the idea or belief that we are bad people - you can add your own label here.
Instead of forgiving yourself, why not just start loving yourself? Why not say to yourself, I made a mistake, I could have chosen something different. I accept what I did, understanding that there was a lesson to be learned for all parties involved. In the same way you let go of the little hurts your children cause you, continuing to love them unconditionally, can you not do the same for yourself? Can you not give yourself a hug, agree to remember the lesson, and carry on knowing you can make a different choice next time a similar situation arises?
We were created to be an expression of Spirit. There were certain lessons, and ideals we agreed to work on for the expression of our Creator. Like being an actor, taking a part, we chose a role, to assist our soul in growing and loving unconditionally. In order to learn the lesson, accept the belief there are certain scenarios that must take place, in one form or another. So, even as you act in ways that are less than perfect, you are merely playing the role in a movie you contracted to play. The best way to have a happy ending is to accept, release and love your way through the bad times.
I often feel I am a character in a video game, moving from level to level, dodging the obstacles, moving debris out of the way, sidestepping the bad guy and racing for a finish line. It is exhausting, creates sleepless nights, and causes all kinds of aches and pains in my physical body. Ever feel that way?
I end the game when I take time to breathe, to realize, I can let go of the need to struggle and fight my way through life. I can breathe, relax and allow Spirit to guide me. As I do I feel the flow, and transcend each level in peace, joy and love. Ahhhhh ..... how much better I feel.
You are not broken. You have been programmed with a lot of harmful, self-destructive beliefs. You are programmed to believe you are not good enough, and you must continually change and fix yourself until you meet a certain standard - and the bar keeps raising, leaving you feeling even less than the perfection you truly are. As we learn what these beliefs are and reprogram our self conscious, our world begins to shift and change - it is not us who are changing, only the world around us. We become more as we were created - pure, divine love. Our body stops revolting against the stress we have caused it. Our minds become more clear, and the thoughts more peaceful. Those things we desire for our lives begin to magically appear.
YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE - YOU ARE ALREADY PERFECT
STOP TRYING TO FORGIVE YOURSELF - YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG
THERE IS NO NEED TO FIX WHAT IS NOT BROKEN - SIMPLY REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

Once again we remember the perfection we knew at the time of our conception, and even at our birth. Wouldn't it be nice to understand how to take responsibility for your life, to create the peace, joy health and prosperity you dream of, without the need to rigidly control all the circumstances, knowing there is an energy doing the work for you, if you are willing to let go and get out of the way?
There is, and when I give myself permission, to just be me, I find pure health, bliss, and abundance are all around me and within me.
Are you willing and ready to let go and receive?

I felt compelled to share this short post with all of you today. I am asked so often how I keep going with a busy schedule, and endless weeks of continual work, clients and responsibilities. There are days when if I stop to think about it I feel like the "eveready bunny", so I stop thinking about it. Instead I start my day with the following intention:
"Today is the best day of my life. Please show me all the beauty and joy this day has to offer and allow me to love and prosper everyone I encounter as I go about the tasks that are set before me."
At the end of the day, I take note of what I have learned, experienced and shared and offer gratitude for all of it with this short prayer:
"Thank you for the best day of my life. Bless all who have helped to make this a day filled with love, joy, beauty and prosperity. Bless all those who have challenged or shown me parts of myself I needed to see. Thank you for allowing me to experience one more step on this wonderful adventure called life."
The wording is not always exactly the same, but the intention clearly puts me in the moment with no worry for tomorrow, and allows me to let go of any troubles of the day, knowing that all is as it should be. As I sort through the day, I make note of anything that stands out as unfinished business and make a mental note to clarify misunderstandings, mistakes, or errors in judgement as soon as the opportunity arises. With everything taken care of I can then enjoy a good night's sleep, in preparation for the beauty of tomorrow.
Create your own intentions or prayers and make them a part of your daily life. The results are beyond amazing. Feel free to use mine until the right wording for you shows up.
