As we move along up the ladder of consciousness, we must continue to shave away the patterns and ways of being that no longer support us so that we can more fully move into the radiance of who we are.
The more consciousness we become, the more access we have to the scope of the greater picture. The grander view of All things opens up to us and we can, from a whole new point of being, begin to co-create our reality with purpose and pleasure. And the aspects of our selves long buried will rise, some to be thrown aside and overturned at long last, others to be savored and fully embraced. And each step becomes new as each moment is different and uniquely its own. As we begin to operate from a place of wisdom (the most-fortunate byproduct of self-realization) every experience we have is christened with our own unique signature. (more)
Death was my teacher last night. Our thirteen-year-old retriever passed into the other world, leaving a hole in our hearts that words cannot describe. And as I continue to grieve and am longing to hold her, a handful of questions continue to rise. Did I love her completely? Did I embrace her fully? Did she ever really know how much she meant to me? And in all of life, how has this applied?
It’s so easy while grappling with finding the balance to support and maintain our busy lives to feel as if there’s not enough of us to go around. To feel as if we don’t have time for this or that, or to be only half there in the moment while the other half is spread in all the other directions of what needs to be done. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by all of the things we feel call to us for attention and to feel too thinly spread to meet all of life’s demands, and we long for a balance, a better way , a centered way, to operate from.

What can you do in this time of wait? Don’t let it be a time to negate all of that hard work you’ve invested. Let the lull be productive. Put this in-between to use and let it be an opportunity to become more rounded and grounded. This is an excellent time to deepen your roots, get your feet on/in the ground, and grow solid. (more)
When we find ourselves swimming through the Ocean of Life, sometimes riding waves, other times going under, we need to become aware of the collectiveness of the energy within the ocean of who we are and how it all contributes.
Many times it’s been said that it’s hard to maintain that connection to the Divine when the waters are turbulent and rough. We feel a reaction within to the energies flowing through and we feel harder hit when we sense the disconnection from our Source.
We find ourselves being tossed through the waves of consciousness, longing for solid ground and stability, or just the resolution of finally reaching a plateau. And as we reach up to the sky, arms outstretched beyond the wave, crying for rescue and relief, or just even some sense of balance, we forget the forgotten. We look out rather than within. And the lifeboat of Truth escapes us. (more)
