Who Do You Like to Hang Out With?

Hanging out with like-minded souls can really get your battery charged.
I recently had an opportunity to spend some time with my Spiritual Teacher and his outrageously awesome family.
Wow...I found myself re-inspired to create and re-write my life.
By periodically connecting in with people who are high creation artists of life, it gives one the opportunity to re-member that high creation is something we can all do.
Every day, we either replicate the same ole, same ole, or we clear some new ground to explore aspects of life that have been unchartered territory.
Looking at things we do every day in a new way provides a freshness to our life experience.
Driving to work can become the adventure of a lifetime
based on the way we choose to view it.
Taking a shower in the morning can be transformed into a transformative experience letting go of all that no longer serves you and opening to the gifts of abundance from the Univers.
Filling the gas tank of your car can become an opportunity to 'imagine' yourself re-fueled' for life with new vitality and lots of power for the long haul.
Pulling the weeds in your garden can become the removal of 'old habit' and practices that are taking up space in your life where you could be sowing more fruit.

Whatever you do, do it consciously.
Whenever you are a quart low, surround yourself with others who are high vitality folk who are ready and willing to share their abundance with you...
We live in a Universe rich in resources and plentiful in positive energy.
There is more than enough for all.

Hold On Lightly...

It isn't really necessary to hold on to things or people with a 'vice grip'...
But we often do.
It isn't necessary to squeeze the life out of something to enjoy it.
But we often do.
It isn't necessary to wrestle something or someone to the ground in order to have a relationship with it.
But we often do.

When we look to Mother Nature and the gentle way all things and beings interrelate, there is a true beauty in the way there is respect for each other's space.
There is an acknowledgment of the sovreignty of each and all things.
There is respect for taking only what you need and leaving the rest for others to share.
There is an abundance philosophy that pervades natural life.
There is a sense that there is a bigger picture that all created things belong to...a larger story...a grander view.
Everything is seen in its relationship to everything else.
No one thing or being is more important that the other.
Respect, honor, gratitude is the basis of being.

Mother Nature speaks to us of Heaven...
Heaven is already among us...
The Heaven that She has created is what wants to be created in our work worlds, our family worlds...in all of our relational worlds.
Mother Nature is just waiting for us to 'get it'...
Hopefully, She won't have to wait much longer.

That Was a Tough Flight...

Sometimes our take-offs are tough.
Sometimes our landings are tough.
Sometimes the flight itself is a bit turbulent.
That's the way life is.

Sometimes our wings get tattered.
The thought of trying to take-off again can be daunting.
The ground feels pretty good when you are a quart low.
But that's where the transformative power of Spirit comes in.
It's never too late to begin again....never....
There is always a way to 'dig' out of the current 'state of the union' and climb above the way things have become.

So, where to begin...?
First, grasp onto the power of intention.
Write yourself a whoppin' powerful intention that defines what you want to do or be or both.
Second, put some energy behind it.
Use the power of prayer and meditation to begin seeing and feeling this intention fully realized.
Third, listen carefully to how Spirit is guiding you to act and do your part in its realization.
Fourth, create visuals to remind you of your intention...
Fifth, check in regularly with your Spiritual Director or Coach to help you keep on track.
When you are in the process of major re-formation, a spiritual director/coach can make the difference between a nose dive and smooth sailing.
Sixth, live as though it is already realized. Hold nothing back.
Seventh, create a 12 month plan to ensure sustainability with the 'new you'.
What will you do each month to help you move closer and closer to your intention.
See your own metamorphosis happening right before your eyes.
Eighth, celebrate each movement, each risk taken, each hurdle overcome, no matter the size, or outward significance.

And, by the way, the butterfly in the picture above, did take off and continue its work in the world, dancing on flower-tops, sharing its beauty with the world.
