It is fascinating to observe the chaos that has taken place in my reality over the last few months. I have been stripped away of everything that I have held to be true. And the feeling that I have is one of utter and true bliss. Is this really possible considering what has taken place?
In due time the circumstances of my awakening will be shared with you as I am being guided to write a book that seems to be including the events of the last few months. Including the exceptional high that I have been on in regards to my career around the Law of Attraction and the consistent manifesting that I had been so easy until approximately 6 weeks ago.
So, what was it that changed? What event, situation or thought was it that seemed to rip my life apart into a thousand little pieces? To turn what was a promising career in regards to training, facilitating and coaching the Law of Attraction into a nightmare from hell. To shift my bliss state into a dark night of the soul.
The answer is simple and yet complex at the same time. What I can share with you at this moment is that I took a huge leap of faith and committed to a spiritual path. It was as simple as stating to the Universe what I wanted. At the same time I also asked the Universe to deliver me the lessons I needed in order to get on with the bigger picture and my soul's work on earth.
In hindsight it seems somewhat fantastical however, I know that the Universe always delivers to us what we want and as I delved deeper into the teachings of the LOA I found that there is so much more to the concept than my limited vision had allowed me to see. Hence, I am giddy with this new found information I so desperately want to share it with the world.
So, from challenge comes opportunity and you can bet that I'm onto something VERY HOT. So, buckle your seat belts as the true Secret to the Secret will be revealed in my upcoming book. You too many be shocked by what I have learned, or you may already know the magic behind the mystery. Where ever you are at in your journey know that new beginnings are all part and parcel of this journey called life and that when you expect a miracle , it always shows up.

A Message to the Indigos
For those of you under the age of 30 you are probably an Indigo. What the heck does this mean? It means you have a responsibility to wake up the world. You are the ones who are going to stop the insanity of what is and restore balance to the crazy treadmill that most adults are on. You are the ones who recognize the patterns, the chaos and the sheer madness of the way most of your parents live their lives, the treadmill of consumption, and the way in which we are destroying our planet and our lives.
Your children will not have children unless you remember who you are. You are on this earth to create change. And massive change at that. You might be asking, 'How can I create change?' Your an Indigo and you already know how. All you need to do is follow your gut feelings, pay attention to the signs and do what feels right.
Back in the 60's the youth rebelled, smoked pot and created change. You however are smarter than any generation before you, are more gifted and talented than any generation than before and you know it. It's time to step up to the plate and take a stand for what you believe in.
The way to do this is by peaceful, meaningful and impact oriented expressions of who you are. For some it is through art, dance, music, orating, or technology. You are excessively talented in one specific area and when you hone your gifts in this area you will discover that you have something to say, you need to be heard and YES you will do whatever it takes to get your message across.
The time is NOW for you to remember who you are. Wake up to your fullest sense of self, get out of your own way and do what you know you want to do. Ask for support, collect with others and find a way to do what you love.
Know that the current system places limits, lies and labels on all of us and it is up to you to change the rules. Follow in the footsteps of Jack Johnson and make music that speaks of the truth. Each one of you gets it and bears witness to the audacity of the insanity of what is. Take up the challenge and know that you have the answers. You are here to heal, protect and create change.
Know that I get it! I see the restraints you are faced with and I know you want to buck the current and don't know how. Wanting to do something when your told by adults to do the opposite. Well, most of your parents are living in the old paradigm so it is up to you to tell them what you want. Tell them you want to express yourself creatively and ask for their support.
When you act from a place of respect for yourself, others and the environment you are more likely to win over the favor of your parents. Talk to them, teach them, and do what you know feels right.
You are an Indigo. You are here for a reason, you have a purpose and you must step into the outrageous and fabulous you that you know you are. I get it! I really do! So, step into the spotlight and get on with it. Know that you've got your back covered!

Charlie Bartlett
The epitome of what it is that we have done to our kids. The movie that I recommend to all adults and all youth. Why you may ask? Because it defines the experience of what so many kids are experiencing and the insanity that they are confronted with. Dramatic maybe...somewhat real... you bet!
We wonder why youth today are so rebellious, reactionary and are demanding reform. A bunch of rowdies who are here to wake us up to the insanity of the world. This movie is the perfect example of how the adults are attempting to tell the youth how to be in this world and the way the adults are dealing with what they witness as insubordinate behavior is by putting more rules and restrictions on them.
The movie highlights the brilliant intelligence of one young man, Charlie Bartlett, who has found out the secret to solving all of our problems, listening.
And in case you didn't hear it the first time allow me to repeat myself. LISTENING! Our children and our youth are screaming at us and no one is listening. A fact in the matter is the increase of prescription drugs that are being pushed on our children and our youth. Labels such as ADD and ADHD are plagued in schools around the country.
The reality is that these kids learn a different way and they are a heck of allot smarter than the lot of humanity and they are the ones who are going to bring solutions to our global problems if and when we create a safe space for them to do so.
Ask yourself this? When you were a kid did such labels exist? Were you prescribed medication to keep you numb, dumb and manageable. I think not. So why the heck would you want to medicate your children. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
The insanity in what we are doing to our children and youths infuriates me to the enth degree. Please parents read about the Indigo children, educate yourselves as to the genius that exists within the kids and please, please, please listen to them.
Our future lies in the hands of our youth as they are the ones who see what is so incredibly wrong on the planet, and some of them are just reacting to the insanity that they experience everyday. Others so desperately want to share, be heard and express themselves creatively and we as adults are the ones who are holding them back from their full potential.
If this was my last bog ever written, and I've only just started to rant, however if it was my last blog, I would beg and plead with adults to let the children be children, allow the youth to be themselves and do whatever it takes to create a safe place for these Indigos to express their unique ideas, thoughts and solutions.
Mark my words that I am personally committing to assisting these kids in any way, shape or form that I am able to. Whatever it takes these kids need to be heard, seen and acknowledged. Parents, teachers and educators please wake up and learn about your kids. Love them, listen to them and be there for them. Because they are on a mission and it may just save the world.

Transition
When we find ourselves in a place of transition it can at times feel frightening, scary and downright terrorizing. Know this to be true. We create experiences in order for our soul's advancement so when we find ourselves in situations that are less than undesirable it is an opportunity for us to grow spiritually if we are open to acknowledge the lesson that is meant to be learned.
For many of us we find ourselves recreating the same challenging situations over and over again. The same type of yucky job, the same uncomfortable relationship, the same...the same...the same. In consideration of this fact know that there is a lesson of great value that once observed, acknowledged and healed we will evolve ourselves into new situations to learn different lessons.
A new found sense of peace, compassion and love can be found when we become still and be true to ourselves as to why we are creating the same situation over and over again. In moments of mediation, contemplation, and self care we can allow ourselves to become fully aware of the healing that is required and are able to push thought what can be repetitive discontent.
In acknowledging Einstein's definition of insanity, that being doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, we can see the obvious in that we must break the pattern and do something different. So, take time to observe what is in misalignment, spend time with it, allow yourself to fully feel the pain so that you can disassociate and create a new reality for yourself.
It is from challenges that opportunities are created, if this is the way in which we choose to view the yucky stuff that shows up. So know that all challenges are a means of transition towards that which is your destiny and the life that you desire to live. Be bold, be big and stare challenges in the face knowing that you are in a transition phase. A much better place than being stuck in the muck.

The Moon
Our lives are parallel to the moon
Sometimes waxing, sometimes wanning
Quarter...half... full...new
Like the moon our lives change
Phases they drift from one to the next
Spring...summer...fall...winter
Glowing in clear skies
Hiding behind clouds
Dark...light...full...bright
Steady the moon is when storms come in the night
When daylight does break we give up the fight
Pushing...pulling...dipping...curving
The man in the moon, the Goddess she calls
Both coexist to bring peace once and for all
Mysterious...curious...tempting...knowing
Our lives are parallel to the moon
It needs us and we need it
Careful...cautious...revered...distant
Sometimes waxing, sometimes wanning

Expect Miracles
In the continues search for answers, some understanding to the chaos called life came from an unexpected source yesterday. In turning to my bookshelves my gaze feel upon a book that has sat unopened for many years. After numerous books read, many being returned to the used bookstore it would seem that this one particular book has been waiting patiently until the correct moment in time to truly reveal itself.
Yesterday, I opened to the introduction and was pleasantly surprised to read of a humans parallel story of trauma, turbulence, and decisions that left one searching for answers. This individual after leading an unconscious life for so many years, found her answers in a book. Not just any book, but a handbook, a manual for the most precious commodity that we have, life.
As I began to read a huge sense of relief came over me. In the introduction of this book mention was given to the book the Mists of Avalon, the mythic tale of King Arthur and the enchanted Isle of Avalon where priestesses once cohabited alongside mortal men. It speaks about a magical islands that unless the mists part the treasures that lay beyond are inaccessible. What one requires in order to experience the isle is to see beyond the limitations of our physical world and to have faith. To believe that it is real.
Once we believe, then miracles happen. 'A parting of the mists, a shift in perception, a return to love.' Hence the title of the little book that sat patiently on my shelf for more than ten years, A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.
As I sat and pondered this brief introduction it became quite evident that this is the answer to all questions...LOVE. For when we make decisions based on love, act upon love and share love, we can truly expect miracles. With faith all things are possible, we just need to believe and we need love. We need to love ourselves enough to make decisions that serve not only ourselves, but those around us and all living things. Love is the answer to every question, every time in any circumstance.
With a new understanding of the term love it begins with self care. It begins by loving oneself, mistakes and all and accepting that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. When we do things from the place opposite of love, that being fear we make unconscious decisions in the moment that we hope will have a positive outcome.
So, with this deeper understanding of the term love it is now time to consciously act upon it. Choose love in all cases and in all times. When we become still, we recognize if we are coming from a place of love or fear and we are then able to make decisions accordingly. Be in love with yourself, the world around you both physical and non-physical and be in love with love. And most importantly expect miracles.

Proof of Angels
I now truly believe that we are among angels and that they walk on earth. In the darkest night of the soul I asked God for a sign today. A sign that we are not alone on this journey called life. In asking I received the answers because I was open, aware and have faith. I had 3 angels show up in my life today, and sure enough all three of them checked in. Having no clue what is up in my world and how dark things really are, I received emails from 3 people whom I know to be angels.
It is in times of darkness that when we surrender to Spirit that the answers come in mysterious ways. We just need to be open, we need to open our hearts. We need to believe that there are angels on earth.
I too am human, I too make mistakes, and out of desperation I made a decision that felt like the only way out. And now I have hurt people closest to me. I am sorry, I repent for I too am human. In my place of surrender I put my faith in Source trusting that somehow, someway all will be well. So, I went searching for more angels today and I found one in the most unexpected place...on the street....begging quietly for money.
His name starts with a J and in search of a friend I listened to him. Heard his story of how he wants to work yet an injury to his foot has him out on the streets. Down on his luck, with nothing but a pack on his back. He begged for money to buy medicine for his foot only to have it stolen in the night a few days after his wound started to heal.
His gaze was of sadness and yet when I crouched down beside him I saw something in his eyes. A survivor, a fighter, a man in disguise. He said to me thank you as I dropped a few coins. He just like me needed a friend. Desperate for touch I gave him a hug, was it for me or for him, I'm uncertain of why.
However, I know we have angels among us. They come in different sizes and shapes, different packages, different colors, different woes. So, as I walked away with the stench on my clothes I am reminded of how truly fortunate I am to have all that I do. And I know we have angels among us.

Intuition...and Surrender!
Interestingly enough I have experienced the profound deliciousness of listening to my intuition. Please know the relevance and heed sincerely to my call to please, please, please always listen to your intuition. And surrender the the little voice that suggests to you to let go.
A few months ago during the spring I felt called in more ways than one to let go of all courses and seminars that I was offering for the summer months. Reluctantly I did just this, and went against what the business industry would not have me do. Instead of keeping myself in the lime light, I have retreated. At the time this made no sense however, in lieu of my current reality I know why I was told by the voice to do just this.
I am currently undergoing what Eckert Tolle calls AWAKENING and during this time for someone who is as outgoing as me and loves to be with people I am experiencing the exact opposite. I have become a recluse, spending time meditating, reading, painting and walking my dog in the nearby park connecting with nature.
My only real outside connection to the world is via WAKE UP WORLD on Voice America and this blog that you are reading. I consciously screen my calls, protect my vibration and choose to trust that the Universe is offering to me exactly what needs to take place in order for me to emerge as a bringer of light to the planet...aka...a definition of my higher purpose.
So, as such in observation of what is in my life at this exact moment I could easily discuss the final blow of rejection that I experienced yesterday, however I know the Law of Attraction so it is better for me to say thank you for the freedom of integrity which now is attempting to find a peaceful place in my heart.
Moving forward only the Universe knows what is in store for me however I have the one thing that guides me and it is very strong. It is faith that moves me forward. It is faith that there is order in the Universe and that since I have committed my life to the service of humanity that I am being tested on all levels in regards to my degree of faith.
So, my gift in learning some powerful and more than unpleasant lessons is to share with you the knowing of the intensity of intuition. For many months now I have been making decisions without always listening to my intuition. However, when I have listened to that voice the flow of life seems to make more sense. It is when I have done things that feel less than good that the chaos has occurred. I trust that I have learned the lesson to always follow my heart and in turn may I share the same lesson with you, for no other reason than to spare you from the many pains I have experienced as part of my awakening.

Living in the Park
Sometimes I wonder would it be easier to live in the park. To be at one with nature, the open air and the quiet solitude of self. To be a free spirit, to be at one with the ebb and flow of life, to be content without time.
I know of such a man and at times I envy him. He sits in stillness for a passerby to connect and graciously accepts hand outs for food to sustain himself. He asks for nothing yet warmly shares smiles with those who look in his direction. When a shoulder is needed he offers it, when an ear is required he listens and when words of wisdom are desired he shares openly his gift of knowing the truth.
Once a man in the corporate world he broke free from the limits, the lies and the labels. He gained freedom, maintained his autonomy, and choose quite consciously to live a life of peace. For his days are leisurely, with endless possibilities, tied to nothing other than the land.
Some days are harsh due to rain, wind and cold. Sometimes the hunger in his belly is unbearable. And sometimes the cruelty of his fellow man is the most unbearable of all. However, the simplicity of it all at times must be joyous. No cell phone, no bills, no commitments, no responsibility. No time clock, no boss, no dictator telling one what to do.
On the flip side of this freedom from mass consciousness one has to ask is it escapism, turning a blind eye, or just running away? Hum...a question to ponder, and at times, I wish I had time to ponder such questions. However, my cell phone is ringing, my daytimer is full, I have bills to pay, and responsibility to all.
So, for now this contemplation subsides as I choose to be part of the game called life. The life in the park just isn't for me in that I enjoy a hot bath, warm sheets and the comfort called home. I admire my friend in the park and as he reminds me that for him it is easy and for me it isn't the life.
When I asked him why it isn't for me, he pauses, looks into my eyes and says, 'Your a woman that's why. It's much harder for a woman to live in the park.'

Uncertainty?!
When times of complete uncertainty arise what does one do? This question is in the forefront of my mind in that I have jumped off the cliff and I am unsure if I am flying or falling. In knowing the concept of the Law of Attraction and the teachings of Abraham it would seem that to be the flow is the obvious answer. However, when one is in the process of living life and requiring the means of economic support one must find ways to integrate oneself into society. Or do they?
In retrospect when one has an understanding that they have had a spiritual awakening in the manner that Eckert Tolle describes in his book A NEW EARTH, how prudent is it to think that one needs to live on a park bench in order to climb out of the hole they are in.
This concept seems to me highly undesirable and yet when one feels that they are completely disconnected from their reality, that their entire world has been turned inside out, and that the only way out is to surrender one needs to ask,'What exactly does surrender mean?'
Surrender to God/Source/Spirit they say. Hum...should this be easy? One would like to think so however, when reviewing the lives of the master teachers it is quite relevant to say that many if not all of them suffered somewhere along their journey. When is it that one feels like they have hit rock bottom? How dark does it need to get before one crawls out of the confusion and moves towards light? And why is it that this road is lonely?
Many questions arise during times of uncertainty. Answers are to be found in the silence they say. Well, how much silence does one need to experience the stillness? How can one possibly be still when one has a day job in order to feed and clothe themselves and their families.
Is it with reckless abandon that we go postal, and do harm to not only ourselves but others in the moment of breakdown? In desperate search for these answers it is with deliberate intention that I ask for answers for all of humanity and the for the sake of those who are awakening. Can it please be simple, a little easier and somewhat more graceful!
Until that time of perpetual stillness one must remind themselves....just keep breathing. For as long as I am breathing I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

URGENCY...Part 2 Words, Thoughts and Deeds
To continue on the theme of urgency we must consider that because we are all energy and that EVERYTHING is energy that therefore there is energy in words, thoughts and deeds. In our everyday experiences we unconsciously use words that have a negative or lower vibration. Words like hate, punishment, brutality and the such like all have a negative vibration.
When we use these words, because they are all energy, we have thought thoughts in our minds, both subconscious and consciously, that are of a positive or negative vibration. So, we perpetuate the reality of our own individualized worlds based on anger, fear and frustration or of joy, peace and bliss.
Our thoughts and our words are turned into deeds and these too are energy. Therefore our deeds are negative or positive. When we do something in physical reality to another human and are thinking negative thoughts and are faking something like a smile the true essence of the energy behind these false pretenses is still recognized by the Universe.
So, the obedient Universe consistently matches our vibration so it will continue to give us more of the vibration that we are emanating. Everything is included in your vibration so my invitation to you is to become conscious of the words , thoughts and deeds in which you partake. When you catch yourself saying, thinking or doing something that doesn't feel good, and you will, in that exact moment of awareness, choose different words, think different thoughts, and act in accordance with that which you desire.
The urgency in regards to these 3 items of energy comes down to the reality that our planet is sick, dying and is being destroyed by the words, thoughts and deeds of humanity. Greed, corruption and self serving ideals have become the mainstay and the pursuit of more our reality. This concept when taking into consideration can seem to be extremely daunting when one begins to think, 'Well, what can I do?'
Begin by being gently with yourself, with others and with the words, thoughts and deeds that you allow yourself to experience. As with all new habits this takes time so, once again allow yourself to take baby steps in moving towards the direction of change. In moments when you are making decisions ask yourself will this decision benefit me in the long term? Will it benefit my family, my community and the global humanity at large?
To many this may seem like a far fetched idea however as we are all energy, every decision does count. Each random act of kindness builds upon itself, and when we begin to experience the deliciousness from making decisions consciously we shift our own energies from being part of the mass unconsciousness to being part of enlightened humanity that is making a global difference.
Gandhi said it best in his words of BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD! When we become open to the reality that we are accountable, responsible and must be conscious, we immediately become aware that there is so much more to life than the 3 dimensions we experience. Be open, be aware and be free when you become conscious of your words, thoughts and deeds. And yes, there is urgency...for it must happen NOW!

Be open, be aware and be free when you become conscious of your words, thoughts and deeds. And yes, there is urgency...for it must happen NOW!
URGENCY!!!
When I speak to you of urgency it is because we must take immediate action. We must wake ourselves up to the reality that we are destroying Mother Earth and that individually we must make a conscious effort to do whatever we can to protect, heal and renew the earth to her natural state of health.
Simply stated it is fact that there is toxic chemicals being pumped into the atmosphere, we are therefore breathing toxic chemicals, and we are consuming toxic chemicals. We must also add that we are washing our clothes in toxic chemicals, putting toxic chemicals on our skin and contributing the the toxicity of the planet with the words, thoughts and deeds that we unconsciously perform each and everyday.
So, to briefly observe what is, we need to identify what the problem is, so that we can bring it into our conscious mind in order to take appropriate action, NOW! The question arises for many, 'So, what can I do differently?'
First things first that new habits take time to become the new way so babysteps are in order. Begin by educating yourself on the foods you eat, the home products you use and the toxins that exist within your own home. A great first step is to buy toilet paper that has been made from recycled paper. Then move towards eliminating harsh chemical cleaning products and turn towards healthy alternatives.
For your body choose creams, lotions, shampoos and conditioners that are made from pure plant essences and that are made with natural products. Consume local, organic foods and allow your diet to consist mostly of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Drink lots of purified water and educate yourself about holistic lifestyles.
Theses are some basic steps that each one of us can take to begin to bring the planet back to its natural state. The concept reduce, reuse and recycle sums it up in 3 easy to remember words.
So, yes there is a sense of urgency and when we all become conscious of our choices we will not only personally benefit, but our neighbors around the world will. Make a choice today to be part of the solution.

Break down into Break Through!
At times when challenge is staring us in the face the easy way out is to throw in the towel and say,'I quit'! When the pain seems overwhelming and the task in front of us to big, to huge and just too darn much! What does one do when this feeling of dread is the guiding force and their only seems to be one way out?
The question to ask oneself is to set the intention for divine guidance. The first step of the Law of Attraction is to ask and this first step can be taken when anything is desired, including answers to the question, 'Now what?'
When in the asking process, allow yourself to feel the emotion of pain, anger or frustration. Contrary to many thinkers many would say just get positive. However when one is in the muck and can't seem to climb out of the ditch the most simple way to get unstuck is to briefly observe where one is. ACCEPT and acknowledge that you are experiencing the opposite of what you want Be in the pain and EMBRACE it. Be OK with feeling out of sorts to whatever degree the emotion is being experienced because it is only from this state of awareness that one can begin to shift away from it.
Once you have allowed yourself to feel the emotion and you can label it, then you can RELEASE it. This 3 step process may take some time to integrate however as with all new things their is a learning curve time frame. So go easy on yourself. Know that you are exactly where you are meant to be and you have been given an opportunity to grow and expand your own conscious awareness.
When we ACCEPT and EMBRACE what is by briefly observing it we are then in a position to RELEASE it to the Universe. This means asking the Universe, the first step of the Law of Attraction, to release all pain, anger, and frustration from the situation you are in. As you do so you will begin to feel the emotional charge around the undesired feeling begin to dissipate.
You can then begin to shift your emotions from fear, anger and frustration to those of hope, optimism and peace. Once these feelings are attained then and only then can one begin to feel love, appreciation and ultimately bliss.
When one is in the muck and a well wisher says, 'Just snap out of it,' it can feel offensive, frustration and it can feel like this person doesn't care. Or to a greater degree one may say to themselves,'this person has no clue how bad it is so who do they think they are telling me to just snap out of it.' The result is that you feel worse off than you did before.
A way of this unpleasant place is to ACCEPT that their intention is in the right place and to begin to embrace the feeling that goes along with knowing that someone cares enough that they want to assist you. They may not have the resources or knowing of how to assist you in a manner that feels good, however they really do care on some level. This is the process of EMBRACING the fact that someone does care. Then it becomes once again easier to RELEASE all attachment to the outcome of wanting a specific result, i.e. a shoulder to cry on or someone who will listen without judgment or opinion.
So, know that when we communicate with others that they are human beings having human experiences and that they will speak and act from their own context window. When you use the 3 step process of ACCEPT, EMBRACE and RELEASE you will find that any question can be answered by integrating these 3 steps into your thoughts, in turn into your daily rituals.
Eventually, as with all repetitious habits this will become your new context window and the emotional charge of break downs will be easier to transition into break thoughts. Celebrate the breakdowns and briefly feel the emotions so that you can move towards the break thoughts. Every time we acknowledge what it is we don't want we can give birth to what we do want.
Asking, attention and allowing are the 3 steps to the Law of Attraction and in the first step incorporate the ACCEPT, EMBRACE and RELEASE and you will have greater clarity in allowing the Universe to deliver to you what it is that you desire.
One final thought is that what we want is feelings, not things, so set the intention that during your breakdown you want the feeling of clarity and in turn the Universe will quickly and easily deliver to you the break thought. The break through will be another hurdle jumped. For some a baby step for others crashing through a brick wall. Just remember the 3's - ACCEPT, EMBRACE and RELEASE and all will be given unto you.

Jealousy...A Call to Action!
When one is faced with the perceived emotion of jealousy it can torment one or it can be a wake up call. You choose because we are always at constant choice and we can decide what to do with our emotions. Jealousy can be powerful when we use it to serve our highest and best interest.
So, what do you do when you feel the emotion of jealousy. We are all human and have at some point in our lives experienced it, and for many of us it feels unpleasant and keeps us locked in the place of fear and the feeling of scarcity. Jealousy can turn many of us into monsters in that we react in ways that seem completely out of character for us, and yet for some reason we feel this emotion so strongly that we do things, say things and act in ways that are counter productive.
In observing the emotion of jealousy I invite you to view it in a way that serves you and your higher purpose. Briefly observe the emotion when it comes up and ACCEPT that you are having it. Be OK with experiencing this human emotion, and be still in the moment you feel its intensity. Say to your inner voice, 'I accept the fact that I am feeling jealousy, and I am OK knowing that this feeling will pass in due time. This feeling is a gift and and lesson for me to experience and I do so with an open mind and a open heart so that the next time I experience the feeling of jealousy, I am able to quickly recognize it and just as easily give it to the Universe to shift the energy behind it.'
Then move to a place of embracing the jealousy. You can say to your inner voice, 'I am human, I feel emotions and although at this time this jealousy feels unpleasant, I'm going to EMBRACE it. I know there is a deeper meaning for me to be feeling this jealosy and I recognize that it is out of alignment with my higher purpose, however I'm going to fully feel it and embrace the fact that I am a human being having a human experience'.
Once you have embraced the feeling and have allowed yourself to internalize it you are in a position to RELEASE it. Give the feeling of jealousy to the Universe using the words,'This jealousy serves me in a way that it is a wake up call. I recognize that the thing that another has, the characteristics, qualities or experiences that another has, that I want, is a direct reflection of something that is missing from my life.' And with this set the intention to let the Universe dissipate the intensity of the emotion and at the same time allow the lesson to be learned and the wake up call to be a call to action.
When we experience an emotion like jealousy it is a direct reflection of something that we see that is missing or in misalignment with our selves. When we experience someone with an object, a relationship, a situation or some other type of abundance that we want, yet currently it is not in our vibration or our reality, we react in a personal manner in that we think we want what they have.
Realistically ask yourself what is it that you really want. Is it the thing, the relationship, the situation or the abundance that you are wanting? Ask yourself again and recognize that what you are wanting is the FEELING that you think the stuff or experience will bring you. The truth of the matter is. that it is the feeling that you really want to experience. Most of us are attempting to fill a void. Society dictates to us that if we have stuff (the job, the house, the car, the spouse, the money) then we will be happy.
When you look upon another and they are in a situation that you want and you find yourself jealous about, recognize that it may be a call to action. It may be the Universe delivering to you what you've been asking for. Universal nudges come from what seems like strange and out of the blue places, however when we are ready to move forward in the evolution of our lives the Universe will give to us opportunities, experiences and challenges to move us forward.
Take opportunities like deep feeling of jealousy and use it in a manner that serves you. Ask yourself what the feelings you want to experience are and the Universe will turn your jealosy into a call to action. Instead of staying stuck in the comfort zone use the previously mentioned 3 step process and allow yourself to recognize when the Universe is delivering to you exactly what you have been asking for.
Use the jealousy as a wake up call and in recognizing the feelings that you want to be experiencing ask the Universe for opportunities to be in alignment with your highest and best interest, those that allow you to be in service, to be a divine expression of love and to be connected to others that are of the highest vibration.
Any emotion can be a wake up call and jealousy is a powerful one in consideration of the manifesting process. Be open to the possibility that from this emotion a perfect next step may be being birthed. A new opportunity may present itself or someone may come into your life that can give you the next piece of the puzzle.
With this limitless amount of possibility thank the Universe for the feeling of jealousy and to the person, thing or event that was the trigger for the jealousy. Knowing that you attracted it and now it's up to you, as to what you are going to do with the emotion. Give it a meaning that serves you and one that is a call to action. Then take the next step knowing that you are being guided, you are safe and you are protected.

We are all human and have at some point in our lives experienced it, and for many of us it feels unpleasant and keeps us locked in the place of fear and the feeling of scarcity.

Insanity...a Time for Change!
Einstein said that the definition of insanity of doing the same thing over and over again. This statement makes more than logical sense and if we all lived our lives by this life would be so much simpler and a ton more fun.
What is it that you do just out habit, just because its the way you've always done it, or because it feels safe, comfortable and it is known? Why is it that we do things that we know have in the past given us unpleasant results, and yet we continue this perpetual treadmill that continues to keep us locked in our boxes?
Think about it! We live in a box, we drive to work in a box, we talk on a box, we watch the box, we educate in a box, and we eat from a box! That's allot of boxes! Well, this observe is saying, 'Get out of the way BOX, the circle is taking its place!'
Imagine living life in a circle and how much more flow we would each experience. We live on a big blue and green circle, the cycles of life are in sync with the circle of the moon, we stand in circles and it feels so much better, and a happy face is drawn in a circle.
It's time for us ALL to start thinking and living life from a circle. A continuous symbol that has no beginning and no end, that is equal in all aspects, comes in many different sizes and shapes and when 2 are joined together they create the symbol of infinite.
Let's build homes in a circular shape, classrooms in a circle, offices in a circle, let's eat meals communally in a circle and let's join hands in a circle to embrace the many aspects of all of the circle. Let's have board meetings in circles, let's embrace one another with arms in a circle, and let's create a new paradigm of the circle!
Why? Because we need a new way, and we need it now! The earth is crying, the water is screaming, the children are dying and Spirit is calling. In each of our own way we can stop the insanity, create a new worlds one that is fun, fabulous with more than enough for all!
So, invite of the moment is to focus on the circle. Start with a baby step. Replace one box in your world with one circle. Watch mountains move, and things begin to shift. Little by little, we are each accountable and responsible for the preservation of the planet for generations to come.
Here's to the circle! Be in BLISS!
What is it that you do just out habit, just because its the way you've always done it, or because it feels safe, comfortable and it is known?

Why? Because we need a new way, and we need it now! The earth is crying, the water is screaming, the children are dying and Spirit is calling. In each of our own way we can stop the insanity, create a new worlds one that is fun, fabulous with more than enough for all!
So, invite of the moment is to focus on the circle. Start with a baby step. Replace one box in your world with one circle. Watch mountains move, and things begin to shift. Little by little, we are each accountable and responsible for the preservation of the planet for generations to come.
Here's to the circle! Be in BLISS!

Napping...and the strangest thing!
Conveniently the weather is less than undesirable so the chance to catch up on some book reading, napping and contemplation has been offered. And this observer felt compelled to have a day of what some would call nothingness. Of course we know that there is no such thing as nothingness, so it definitely was something.
When listening to our inner guidance systems and our intuition guides us to something that is in our highest and best interest, it would make logical sense that when we act upon this intuition our we are more in alignment with who we truly are.
One can only be productive when one finds balance so when we are called to rest, rest. It is Sunday after all and even God rested on the 7th day.
The strange thing of the day is that in having an pre-lunch nap and then an early afternoon nap that the dream happened to be the same. Bizarre...in this observers mind it would seem to be this way.
The dream was about an individual who the observer had what we call a high school crush. And this was over 20 years ago. So, why is it that images of this individual came into the observers dream not just once, but twice, and both within a matter of a few hours?
Interestingly that a few months ago this observer attended the 20 year high school reunion of what was her graduating class and said individual was there. Without any contact with the individual during this 20 year time frame it was a wonderful experience to briefly interact with this individual in an adult role.
So, coming into present day why is it that this individual entered into the observers dreams twice in one day? And why is it that the observer felt compelled to take an afternoon nap when the observer has not done so in years.
Just some food for thought that has this observer confused and curious at the same time? Wondering if the said individual will come into the dream space again and if some message is being delivered that the observer should pay attention to.

Judement or Observation?!
In coming up against the humanness of the ego it seems that at times one is able to observe when one is being judged by another individual or group of individuals. We are all human and therefore we have learned about judgment from our schools, media, religions, governments and our parents. So, why is it when we recognize that we are judging another do we continue to do so even when we know it doesn't feel good?
And is it judgment coming from another individual or is it judgment coming from the observer that defines it as judgment? Another thought is that is the judgment based on the observers emotions around the perceived judgment or is it merely observation?
When one can feel the energy behind someone's comments and they know that they are being judged, how is one to respond to this judgment? Typical responses may be to deflect, defend or disassociate from such judgment depending on the one being judged owns context window of ideologies and beliefs about oneself and the world around them.
Is it even worth the effort to comment back to the judger or is in giving attention, energy and focus to such scenarios creating more of the same judgment? Or in the case of the same scenario and one knows one is being judged and they are at a loss of words because they are conscious of the negative feeling that are experiencing, and not wanting to inflict the same pain on another individual, if they resist comment are they subject to further judgment?
Why is it that people feel that they have the right to judge another person? Why are people so incredibly unconscious of the words that they use, that they are able to inflict so much pain into the world based on their use of words that feel so horrible? Why is it that the majority of the population is asleep and are completely unaware that as they go about their daily activities, that because we are all energy, their thoughts truly do become things.
The thoughts and words towards another of judgment, opinions and observation is harmful not only to the recipient that they are being directed towards but are bouncing right back at the individual who is thinking and speaking. More damage is being done to the auric energy of the individual who is doing the initial thinking, than to the person that they want to inflict their thoughts upon.
The reality that we are all energy is so profound that many teachers are attempting to teach it and yet most of the students are asleep and in confusion as to what the true essence of the lesson is all about. When we think a thought, for example a judging thought, we are in turn judging ourselves. The negative energy of the words we have formulated are a direct correlation to how we view ourselves. If we are judging others then in turn we are judging ourselves.
To further expand on the energy of judgment the tone in which we communicate the judgment, the specific words we use and the context we use them in all heighten the negative energy behind the judgment. Since we are, and everything is energy it makes logical sense that there is energy behind words.
This observer feels the energy behind words, as do many walking the planet, and yet for those of us who feel the energy behind words we feel them even more so when they are combined with certain tones and contexts. Therefore, judgment seems to some people as no big deal and to others as a form of condemnation, suppression and out right rejection.
In order to render this an make some logical sense as to why people judge this observe is in the process of allowing individuals to have their judgments and look towards the judger with peace, love and compassion. For in the judgment of others the judger is only judging themselves. In consciously being an observer one is able to remove the feelings and emotions when attempting to be part of this physical world, and allow each individual to have their own experience.
In observing a judger and in the minds eye offering peace, love and compassion towards the judger, the observe in turn is receiving peace, love and compassion back towards themselves. So, it would seem logical then that as more people began to view judgments from a state of peace, love and compassion that in time judgment would eventually disappear and we would live in a world of peace, love and compassion.
Therefore, choose thoughts consciously because they have energy. Choose thoughts that feel good. And when we choose thoughts that benefit others we also benefit ourselves. And this tiny step of the individual waking up means that each one of us can have a positive effect on the global oneness of humanity.
If peace, love and compassion becomes the global constant, imagine a world where we all have more than enough. This seems to be an observation that feels good, one that serves all of humanity. Be an observer instead of a judger. Why because it's not only your best interest but that of all of humanity.

Awareness at a Deeper Level - 3 Steps
When one considers the challenges of being part of mass consciousness, one has to ask oneself, could it be easier to run away from the pain and confusion of what is. And is it possible to remove one's emotions from situations that feel unpleasant. When faced with situations that feel awful, yucky, and disheartening how easy is it to be on, in and plugged into the matrix?
In recognizing that the Law of Attraction is always in action and that we are the creators of our own experiences, what does one do when the tricks of the trade seem to be working against ones own favor. Well, this observer seems to have a formula that always helps the process of being in this world, yet not of the world.
A 3 step process that makes the unpleasantness of life seem somewhat more bearable. A process that takes the Law of Attraction to a new level when fear, anger and despair are present. In other words an easy way to remove doubt from the equation.
The first step is ACCEPTANCE. This process includes accepting what is. Being 'okay' with being in the muck. Acknowledging the feelings and emotions that are present, knowing that one is human. Because we chose to come into physical form, we chose to have an experience and this experience is to connect with the 5 senses. So, be in a state of accepting what is. This begins to lessen the charge that comes with feelings and emotions that are displeasing to us.
The second step is EMBRACE. When we embrace what is we give it validation, which the ego requires. When we continually push down and suppress our emotions and our feelings, things boil and bubble and end up manifesting in ways that are in misalignment. Physical injuries, reactionary situations, illness, and undo stress related outcomes are realities in which we all witness everyday. When we acknowledge our feelings and be with them the charge again lessens and we are able to recognize that we attracted the experience for the sake of learning lessons. In recognizing the lessons, and briefly observing them we are less likely to recreate them in the future.
Moving into a state of gratitude comes from embracing the situation, thanking the Universe for the opportunity for growth, and knowing that once acknowledged the lesson will be easier to recognize and move through when it shows up again. Embrace the pain, the lesson and feel the gratitude for the opportunity that you are human, you have feelings and that you have the capacity to move thought what ever comes up for you.
The third stage is RELEASE. Release attachment to the outcome knowing that everything in divine order, in divine time. In order to experience the 5 senses we must feel the extremes because of the Law of Opposites. Therefore, by accepting what is, embracing it, and releasing it, we completely let go of the emotional charge that exists within all situations, feelings and emotions that are opposite to what we want. For humans this is what gets most of us stuck in that we perceive desired outcomes and when things don't show up, go our way or are different that how we wanted them to be we get disappointed, mad, angry and/or frustrated.
When we truly release all desire to what the future may be, from moments to minutes, we are much more able to be in a true state of bliss. Living in the NOW moment, becomes the new habit of presence and we are able to be functioning on a level that is in alignment with who we truly are. Who we truly are is extensions of God, Spirit, Divine Intelligence.
In recognizing that we are human, having human experiences we are able to more easily be in this world yet not of this world. So, the 3 Steps again are ACCEPT, EMBRACE and RELEASE. Like all new habits this takes time. Baby steps are the means to true enlightenment on this physical plane so take a baby step and try this on for yourself. It may just make living a little simpler, a lot more fun and a heck of a lot more exciting. Until later...be in bliss!

Lonliness on the Path to Enlightenment...
May 26...Loneliness on the path to enlightenment...
When one chooses, and commits to the path of spiritual growth, awakening or enlightenment it can at times seem somewhat lonely. Why is it lonely when one prefers the company of one's own self? What is the void that feels as if something is missing? Are we supposed to live like the Dali Lama in celibacy? Like Mother Teresa in complete dedication to a God? In service to the all that is and live a solitary life?
These questions seem to be in the forefront, and have been for the last few months as the acceleration of awakening seems to be taking place for this observer. In the desire for a deep a strong connection to Spirit, one seeks to find truth externally and turns towards the true masters that have walked the earth.
Many of them choose to walk the path alone with followers, students and vast quantities of people who had the capacity to hear what was being said. And others have chosen to have a significant other in their experience to do the work that needs to be done on the planet. Is it predestined or are we at conscious choice as to the path we are meant to walk?
In knowing that we do create our own realities it would seem that many choose life partners for reasons other than to learn lessons, to be of service or to experience life through the 5 senses. Some join in union because certain societies dictate that this is just what we are supposed to do. Others look towards another for happiness, meaning or security.
This is the unfortunate reality we live in, at least in Western society and yet what about coming together to experience deep, true, intimate love. Is it so hard to attract the soul mate for the purpose of fulfilling the mission that was chosen this time around.
In observation of what is, in knowing the principles of the Law of Attraction, and in understanding karma, it would seem that there are other forces working that are somewhat out of our control. It would be easy to enter into relationship for the sake of doing just this however, this observe is in the process of understanding the place of relationship and enlightenment.
As someone who feels that another is coming into the experience of fulfilling the mission, this observer also considers the role of many of the great master teachers. Alone or not alone? A question that is on the mind. Why? Just because it seems at times lonely...and yet it doesn't.
