Story of Life

It's amazing how one day changes from the next.  You must have the resilience and flexibility to just let go in order to allow these changes to happen.  Sometimes it takes a lot of courage to make a change but you are ALWAYS rewarded for that courage. Then, just stay on the path until the next opportunity for change arises and DON'T LOOK BACK.  This is the story of life.

Our Real Home

Our real home is in our hearts and souls where all the learning takes place. Life is an inner journey that is reflected in the outer world. You can always know what is really going on inside you when you see what's around you ...

Government?

I love what my friend Marie Way says: "Laws are written in our hearts. There's no need to be governed." There is nothing more beautiful than that!! I would like to add that "All roads lead back to us."

Dance In The Rain

 

 

Life is a journey with so many twists and turns, ups and downs. At times it can be so painful and frustrating.  But, it is at those times that we must remember that what seems bad or difficult is just a part of the process.  It is because of this process that we learn and grow and continue moving towards manifesting our higher selves.  Knowing this gives us a better perspective and the reassurance that  all okay and meant to be.  With this in mind. we can learn to Dance In The Rain.

Being Perfect: Who Is Making The Rules?

How many of us feel the pressure to have to be perfect? What is perfect and who's making the rules? After a lifelong journey of being a perfectionist in all aspects of my life, I finally realized that I was playing old parental tapes which has been running my life and caved into the pressures of today's society. Well, NO MORE...my decision has been made!

What Do YOU Want?

Can you imagine what it would be like to have the life that you really want? I can. Just keep on thinking about what you want, not what you don't want..the energy of that also helps you get through the tough times.....

It's Getting Closer

The launch is getting closer for I Married Mr. America. I can't believe I have just about made it to the end of this long marathon of getting this book to print. Thank you Empower Press! I actually started to cry! I promise, this book WILL deliver...it's all about the heart!!!

What Do You See?

So many times what we see isn't what is really going on.

It's All About The Heart

It's all about the heart and the intention. When it comes from the heart, you know it is genuine and can be trusted.

Spiritual Sound Bites

So many spiritual sound bites; it's not just the saying but the doing....

Who Are We?

Everything we go through in life is all about finding out who we really are....

Who Made The Rules

Life is a process of understanding who you really are outside of everyone else.  As I just read, perfection is just a part of shame... But remember, "Who made the rules?"  Real beauty and perfection lies in simplicity.

Feeling Vulnerable and Alone

We feel vulnerable and alone in moments where life gets stressful. Just had a couple of those moments yesterday so I asked the universe to show me signs of what I needed to know. It came through with flying colors. Love this Abraham-Hicks quote today:

When you ask, it is given, every single time, no exceptions. You are beloved, blessed Beings who deserve good things—but it takes a self-convincing before you will allow good things.

--- Abraham

Changed Profile Picture

I just changed my profile picture.  When we view ourselves, what we see is usually so different than what others see. Which perception is the truth?

It's A Clear Day Everday

It's a clear day everyday when you can drop your preconceptions, be aware of old tapes going round and round in your head, and consciously spend each moment with a knowing that only the best will always happen.  If you are living with a negative person, just think of the word "neutralize" as they are acting out their own drama which really has nothing to do with you. Distance yourself as an observer.  It will be smooth sailing.  

Perfect?

How many of us feel the stress of society's push on perfection?  I have always been so hard on myself and finally realize that it's okay to be perfectly imperfect.  Learning to live in the perfection of each moment is a process.  Anyway, who wants the responsibility of being perfect!!! But, this picture is perfect...

Conscious Nutrition of Body and Soul

Attaining a state of consciousness is a process we go through our entire lives. But, we must not forget about nutrition as well. I believe in personalized nutrition, where you are scientifically tested to know exactly what your body needs. It even shows your disease tendencies!..Take a peek at this website only if you feel like it www.pncscience.com

Really "See"

Most see what they want to see. But, it becomes real when you "see" with clarity as you drop your preconceptions. This takes getting used to but you are finally living in total honesty. As you do this, everything around you changes. It is strange at first, but when you get used to living this way, you can never go back.

Don't Bury It

We bury so much inside we don't realize it. It comes out here and there in different ways be it physical symptoms, tearfulness or all of a sudden a loss of temper. I have learned to recognize this natural way of releasing. Allow yourself to go through this. Don't judge yourself. Our journey is a process of letting go and moving forward.

Don't Run Away

Feeling so vulnerable at this moment. You want to run away because you feel like there is no place to hide. But, I will continue to use these moments of vulnerability to face into the honesty in my soul. This honesty has always helped me to move forward and never look back... And, I have always been rewarded for the courage to face into total honesty.

Vulnerability Is Pure Honesty

Let yourself slide into those moments of vulnerability. Don't be afraid of losing control. If you realize that you are not really in control in the first place, then those vulnerable moments will feel like a gift from the universe. Let the pure innocence of a child become your best friend and experience the faith that we were born to believe in.

The Ex Factor

Woke up this morning and my ex verbally ran through me like a freight train. Didn't see it coming. I am going to look within to pull out the strength to try to not let it affect me. For all of you who go through this same experience...we are holding each others hand and just walking through it together.

One Big Classroom

Life is like a big classroom where you can choose your own classes. The choice you make is exactly what you need to learn on your journey. Each course is perfect for the lessons that your soul is requesting.

I Accept This Award

I dedicate this to everybody:

I accept this award with all my heart

For surviving days that felt like years

I accept this award with all my heart

For gettin’ through all the blood, sweat and tears

I accept this award with all my heart

For havin’ the guts to fight my fears

I accept this award with all my heart

For the courage to persevere

Raise That BAR!

It's all about continually raising that BAR - BELIEVE, ACHIEVE, RECEIVE to get to your rainbow. And, don't look back!

Don't Let That Fight Get Under Your Skin

As I woke up this morning, I felt depressed because I had a fight with my ex husband yesterday.   Instead of dragging those feelings into today, I decided to switch my consciousness into a very productive mode and continue to move forward in the most productive positive way. You cannot change someone else, but you can change your own perceptions about anything.  It's all about self talk and the decisions you make at every given moment that act like a domino effect in your life.

Just See It!

To see things clearly is sometimes a painful process as you undress the mind to let your heart and soul shine. It takes courage to live in a state of consciousness that is perhaps not the way you want it to be but what REALLY is. BUT, the rewards for really seeing and moving into this authentic state are incredible and once you live this way, you can never go back and put those hazy glasses back on.

What's The Rush... Gotta Pace Yourself

We all move at such a fast pace these days. We don't realize that we must take the time just to breathe.  I strained my back this week and have had to rest a lot. The gift of this is that I realize that you don't have to get everything in one day.  I am like a race horse in the starting gate and slowing down has been the hardest thing for me to do. But, the universe steps every once in a while and and says "pace yourself."

Who Would Ever Think?

Who would ever think that the moon could shine so beautifully during the day? With that miracle,  it makes you feel like nothing is impossible or unattainable.  It is what it is when you think it is...or not!!!

Shut Those Old Tapes Off

Our minds are just like tape recorders that play the same tapes over and over again. I go through this often and figured out that one of the best ways to stop this annoying cycle is to consciously shift your perceptions. Hold onto that grounded feeling that comes with this shift as best you can knowing this is what is real...not the old tapes.

Steppin' Out - Don't Follow The Crowd

Everybody stays in a false comfort zone by following everyone else. But, the real "secret" is that you have all the answers you need inside of you. Listen to those "silent moments" as words gently flow through, answering questions you have asked, guiding you to the next step. Don't ignore those little gut feelings as they will never lead you astray. Take gentle breaths in and out and be quietly aware of the signs the universe so graciously gives you everyday.  Don't be afraid to take that leap of faith into the gracious arms of the universe. Let go of the false safety nets that are actually only habitual thinking. 

Don't Fight It

You just can't go against the natural flow of things no matter how hard you try.  I felt so depressed last week and finally decided to just let it all go. I got so tired of trying to swim against the waves.  I decided to quit fighting  fears, tears, depression, anger, disappointment, and just allow myself to be without judgment especially judgment of myself. As far as others who I have felt disappointed with, through a lot of self talk, I realized they are who they are.  It is not them that I have to change but my own perceptions of wanting them to be a certain way. Want to just see through the eyes of my soul, not through the eyes of a soul locked in a human body.  And, just don't fight it.... 

Can't Judge A Book By It's Cover

It's unfortunate but I met someone on FB that I started to develop some feelings for. We never formally met because he did not live in the country and thank God the correspondence didn't last long. It turned out that he is a very unhappily married man that doesn't have the courage to leave his situation and was just looking for a pen pal to preoccupy himself from a miserable situation. I was blessed that I found out so soon because he was not upfront with me. Again, it's all about choice  all about choice and I choose to move on to greener pastures...

It Just Takes A Second

There's nothing like a good night's sleep and a brand new day to give you a new leash on life.  It is all about perspective - the way you view things. And it is the luxury of choice to make the decision to change it. When you do, it is amazing the new flow it creates and all the beauty that begins to happens.....  And, the choice is easy, it just takes a second!!

The Day After

It's the day after I closed a door and am now starting to cross the bridge.  Feeling a bit tired from the trauma and yet excited for the new doors that are about to open.  Already, some new doors are presenting themselves....which one to walk through...that is my next question. All I know is that I WILL honor those gut feelings and WILL NOT ignore the red flags just to make a bad situation work.. But, when you are trustworthy, you just want to trust, however, discernment is the key!!

They Let you Down...

It's sad when you feel that you trusted somebody and they let that trust down. Well, chances are that there were signs along the way that you ignored because you wanted to keep them in your life and you just weren't ready to let them go.  But, whenever you ignore the signs, something always comes back at you in a way that forces you to have make a decision.  Then, you have the luxury of choice and decide what is best. Remember, when you have the courage to close a door, a better one always opens.      

Talking About Patience

Talking about patience, if you are going to write a book, patience is what you need and plenty of it. My book has been undergoing some major changes. I gave it quite a face lift and the final edits are in! A lot of grueling work but I want to make everyone satisfied who reads it. Now, it is called SOUL STRINGS - Your Fast Track to Soul Power!! It's got some high energy. I am very excited to get it out 'there. This picture is my cover. Will keep you informed....

Don't Go Against The Flow...

Mondays always gave me butterflies in my stomach.  As I woke up this morning, so many old tapes were playing around and around in my head. I had a choice to let those old tapes continue to play and ruin my day or just let go and know that the best was going to happen.  Well, I chose to just let go and as this day has unfolded, beautiful things that I hadn't anticipated started to happen.  It's all about just letting go with blind faith and knowing that all is well!

Quit Pressuring Yourself

I woke up this morning listing everything I had to do today in my head.  I felt so pressured and said to myself "I can't possibly get all this done today." When I went over my list again, I realized that most of the things did NOT have to get done ASAP.  I am learning to prioritize and to quit pressuring myself so much!  What for?  It is just a bad habit. Teaching myself to go with the flow....

Fear Helps Us Understand

Met a friend on my hiking trail yesterday. She said she was dealing with a lot of fear and was angry with herself for having the fear in the first place..  I told her not tobe angry with herself.  Fear is a part of our growing process. Fear helps us to understand what we need to work on.  You do not have to pretend to be positive, put on a fake smile and say affirmations that you just don't feel.  Take the time to understand the fear and slowly chip away at changing your perception. Allow yourself to go through what you need to go through to come out on the other side and when you smile, you will really feel it.  Be authentic and honest with yourself.  Then, when you can say the affirmations with true feeling behind it, it will all fall into place.  

Don't Let A "NO" Stand In Your Way

As you move towards your goals and dreams, don't let a "no" stand in the way.  I know how  discouraging it can be sometimes. But put it in the perspective that it was not the right person, opportunity, place, etc.  It is most important to never lose that unwavering faith and belief in yourself. Keep moving forward knowing that everything will happen just as it is supposed to happen and it always does.   

Universal Truth

The universal truth in all religions are the same. It all boils down to the love and respect that we have for each other.  It feels so great to make at least one person smile and just to say thank you to someone that has helped you along the way.  We do not express our love and gratitude enough to each other. And most importantly, give yourself a big hug because you have come this far....you deserve it!!  

Move Past Your Fears

You have to move past your fears to really be able to understand and see with clarity what is really going on around you. When the clouds lift, the sun can shine. But, you have to allow those clouds to lift. When you make that conscious shift, you will be able to see things clearly.  Fears are old memories and feelings that no longer exist.  So, you have a choice.  Live in the past or in the here and now. Say to yourself "I AM SAFE". Breathe, relax, and then feel it.  It will be clear sailing once again.

Patience and Timing

Life is about patience and universal timing...there is absolutely no way around it.  When the going gets tough...observe, learn, grow and then move on...  Every moment is a brand new start.

Meaningless Words

Words are just soundbites unless you really feel them from your heart. How many throw these soundbites around and don't even listen to themselves...... You can only inspire if you are authentic!!

Being "Authentically" Positive

They say that you should smile or read a positive affirmation when you feel depressed. But what if you just don't feel that smile or affirmation? If it's not authentic, start changing your perspectives about the problem or situation.  Let go of the burden from the past and the "what if's" about the future. None of that exists. Live in the moment. Take one step at a time.  What you can't handle just give it out to the universe or to God with faith. Feel gratitude for all that IS right now....

True Survivor

I am a true survivor. I am so grateful to be alive to be able to tell my story. My autobiography, I Married Mr. America, tells it all.  No fiction, just pure fact.  It took many, many years to get the courage to say it like it is and that's exactly what I did.   I want to reach out to all those who have been so abused that they felt like less than a grain of sand. I want to take your hand and let you know that is a light at the end of the tunnel! 

Will keep you informed as to the release date.....IMMA will be shopped for a movie.

Mind over Matter

It seems to be mind over matter...if you don't mind then it doesn't matter!!

2012

In this New Year, I am taking one step in front of the other in the new direction of 'Simply Lindy'....http://www.simplylindy.com/  The air feels lighter, my consciousness feels a bit clearer..  It's all about being real. It doesn't matter what others think of you..it's what you think of yourself.  The more you love and understand yourself, the easier it is to love and understand others... AND go with the flow....
