no worries

i’m at the lake
not worrying about the day-to-day activities

the day-to-day activities are still happening
i’m still aware and concerned
i’m not as involved

i’m allowing it to flow without me
it’s a good change
allowing others to be more responsible and whole

what can i do to retain this level of no worry?
this way of experiencing and sharing life

live your truth!

how old are you?

did i just make you cringe? what feelings do you have when you are asked how old you are? many people wonder why someone wants to know, thoughts of what are they going to tell me to be aware of or watch out for. many of us start thinking about what we are supposed to expect at a coming age, what dire changes are up ahead?

do you have expectations for different ages? did you, do you, look forward to certain things happening at each age? 

does any of what you expect seem like fun to you? it seems to me that aging has a negative feeling connected to it, people don’t want to get older or admit how old they are because there are more negative associations with aging than positive.

does your age in years define any part of your life? do you let age determine what you can and can’t do? or what you decide to do or not do? why?

i don’t believe any of it. why should age influence what you want? age doesn’t define you. why not go for what you want no matter what your age. experiences are more to living than age, so let your age beliefs go and focus on experiences.

as i “age” my experiences are expanding and i’m becoming more wise and free from judgement. i’m learning more about who i am, what i like, what i want to enjoy and bring into my life. i look forward to many activities and experiences.

and i’ll let you in on a little secret, age doesn’t have anything to do with what we can and can’t do! yes, as we age, we definitely change, but i believe more of our age beliefs are in our head and not in our body and mind.

if you want to do something, and you are in a body and mind that can do it, do it! go out and enjoy it! be the “old” man swimming in a speedo, or the “old” woman running a 10K in a sports bra.

write the book that’s been on your mind, try the new activity you see so many “young” people enjoying, start something you always dreamed of doing.

you are wiser and your past experiences bring more to the new experiences that you enjoy. live life and keep growing and expanding, not letting age hold you back keeps you young, and is expanding your life for each experience.

now’s your time! if you feel it, do! you are never to old to keep enjoying many different experiences, both old and new to you. what i want for you, is for you to add some new experiences into your life!

expand and grow, always, until the end of this life experience!

live your truth!

enjoy the journey

are you happy and harmonious during your day to day activities? week to week are you happy with the activities that you are doing? is your attitude and energy mostly positive or mostly negative?

are you enjoying your life journey?

life is meant to be enjoyed.

“Life should be an exciting adventure. The sun should rise within you each day in terms of the richness of your feelings and the sharpness of your perceptions. You should carve out goals for yourself that will inspire you to enthusiastic action. going toward life with vigor, no matter what your age, you should never fear death.” ~Maxwell Maltz

to enjoy the journey is to do the things that make you happy. what do you enjoy doing? what’s most important to you? who do you want to be? what do you want to do?

don’t worry about what other people may think, don’t worry about making others happy. make yourself happy and do the things that are most important to you.

to enjoy the journey is to choose who to be and do what is most important to you. you chose to do this thing, be grateful that you are now doing it.

everyday we make choices; from the moment we wake to the moment we sleep. to enjoy the journey and live with enthusiasm be grateful for all the moments you are choosing.

live your truth!

enjoy the journey

do you ever get caught up in want, want want?

i know that i do. i want to be more, i want to do more, i want to experience more.

it is good to want. wanting to be more, wanting bigger, wanting more leads to growth and expansion. growth and expansion to be more and experience more of what you want is good.

i get too focused on wanting sometimes, and forget to celebrate. i get so caught up in the wanting that i don’t see where i am. i am not living in the present moment. i am not enjoying the journey.

it is good to be aware of where you currently are now, in the now moment. who are you being that you were not a year ago? what are doing that you were not doing a month ago? what are you experiencing that you were not experiencing last week?

celebrate where you are now! you are more than you were yesterday, last week, last month and last year. we get focused on our new want, want, want that we forget where we started from, how we have grown and expanded. when we connect the growth, we become aware of who we are in the NOW moment. we are able to enjoy our journey and not get lost in the want, want, want. celebrate your growth and expansion. celebrate who you are and who you want to be.

“We are always becoming, we are always creating. Today I am more that I was yesterday and tomorrow I am more than I am today.”

allow your want, want, want to enjoy growth and expansion. celebrate your growth feeling joy, gratitude and love in the NOW moment and enjoy your journey!

live your truth!

 

 

what do you really want?

have you ever been frustrated because a situation was not going how you want it to go?

you know, you are with a group of people, and it’s just not going the way that you want it to go. i mean, everybody should know that it’s supposed to happen exactly in this one way, your way. how could there be any other way than the way that you want it? and your just getting annoyed and frustrated because it’s not what you want. people aren’t acting according to what you want!

i have these moments. oh boy, i can get so frustrated that my body is tight and tense and i just want to scream and make it happen my way, and there just isn’t any way for me to do that!

I have learned, by some wonderful grace, to step back and look at the bigger picture. i will ask myself, “what do i really want?”

i am able to realize that the situation that i am trying to control is a small piece of the whole adventure of life, and although it may be something that should get done, in the whole picture of life – it’s not what’s most important!

my shoulders relax, my breathe deepens, and i am open to gratitude! i become grateful for this moment, in this moment i am connected to what i want, and what i want is to enjoy my life journey filled with amazing deep rich relationships. and that is what’s happening!

what do you really want?

live your truth!

how do I get all that I want?

I do not know how to get all that I want right now.

I know that I don’t need to know how, the Universe will guide me.

how do I let go and allow the Universe to guide me to all that I want?

gratitude and enjoy the journey!

dsc04446

positive thoughts gratitude and enjoying the journey will bring me, will guide me to all that I want. all that I want to be. all that I want to do. all that I want to experience!

gratitude all day long. feel it! express it! positive. loving. joyful.

enjoying the journey, experiencing life’s ups and downs. living in present moment awareness.

I AM grateful! I AM living in present moment awareness! I AM enjoying the journey!

live your truth!

enjoy the journey

do you wake with energy, excitement and enthusiasm for a new day to experience and create your life journey?

do you go to sleep feeling fulfilled with love, gratitude and joy for a day well lived?

enjoy the moments of your life!

enjoy the challenges that give you growth and expansion!

enjoy the ups and downs!

all experiences are a part of the whole and good!

gratitude, awareness and choice. you can choose to find gratitude in all of life’s moments, the up moments and the down moments, there is something to be grateful for.

dsc04446

you can choose to be aware and choose positive, choose a positive attitude and choose what is most important to you (sometimes this means saying ‘no’ so that you can say ‘yes’ to what’s most important).

what are you grateful for today? who are you grateful for today? write down what your are grateful for. tell the people you are grateful for their being in your life.

Happy Mother’s Day!

live your truth!

 

Relax

Are you taking care of yourself? Are you giving your mind, body and soul the quiet time it needs, time to relax?

Time for yourself to do the things that you enjoy and time for relaxing to let your mind, body and soul, Be. This is time invested in You.

dsc04446

Living our lives rushing around to do this and that, and to get this and that done is wearing and tiring. If that is how you are spending each and every day, day in and day out, are you enjoying your life?

Life is about enjoying the journey and experiences. Doing what we enjoy.

If you don’t take the time to relax and do the things that you enjoy; our minds slip into negative thinking more readily. And when we are allowing ourselves time to relax, time to have fun doing what we enjoy; our minds are more free-flowing imagining what we want in our lives and feeling gratitude for what we already have and enjoy.

And when doing the daily activities that are a part of life, we are able to enjoy the better part of the day, knowing that what you are doing is part of a bigger picture for yourself and you are doing what is important to you.

Are you relaxing and doing activities that you enjoy as part of your week, part of your day?

Are you enjoying your journey?

What do you enjoy doing? Take time to do that this week, take time today to sit quietly and Be.

Live Your Truth!
