We Care

Although there are times in your life when you feel as if no one cares about you, we care. We walk with you as you discover new experiences on your path. As you slip and fall, we are there to catch you and help you to gather your thoughts. When you feel disoriented, not sure of where to go, we give you inspiration. We are part of your journey in discovering who you are meant to be. We are the spirit within you that will be your guiding conscious. It's because we care for you and believe that you are a spiritual being deserving of everything under the universe. Today, trust that all will turn out well. As we care for you, show others that you care for them. It's when we are the most selfless that we find true happiness.
Come ride the waves with me...
(It's a wonderful feeling knowing that someone cares for me. No matter how alone I feel on this journey, I believe that there are many people that care about me. That in itself, keeps me going and makes me smile. For in the caring, comes such warmth that it fills my heart. I am here to serve others and I hope that my love and compassion for those I care for with help to protect them and see them well.)

Finding Peace Amongst Tragedy

When tragedy occurs there are no words to explain the insanity of the moment. Although your mind wants to make sense of what you have heard, you do not have any point of reference to understand what truly transpired. There is a sense of emptiness in your heart for those who have suffered the loss. It is times like these that you must count your blessings that you are safe and alive. Seek comfort knowing that there is still a plan even if your innocence has been shattered. Protect those you care for from harm by being diligent in your awareness of your environment. There are those around you that do not have your best interest at heart. Let your heart guide you through the chaos and you will never be alone. The universe is always  by your side. Believe in yourself and you will be there when you are needed by others. Today, let your spirit be free from your fears. The tragedy of today will ripple throughout the world. It is time for us all to join together to prevent the violence that runs rampant. You are a part of a very big circle of people that know that there is a better future planned for us all if we trust in all that is good. By living a life of love and compassion , the children will grow up learning not to fear what they can't see. We are their future.
There are still places to go to be at peace...
 
(When tragedy comes into our lives, it's more important than ever to find peace within our lives. If we fall apart at this time, it gives this senseless act more power to render us helpless. Being strong is easier said than done when there is confusion. I know in my heart that this tragedy will bring a community, state, nation, and the world closer together with a common bond. I hope that the momentum of this act spears us into working together to bring peace in the world. Let us all be guiding lights for each other. Leading each other to be the people we are meant to be.)

Catching Your Breath

There is a moment in life, when you stop for a moment and all is still around you. You may be in the middle of a crowded street, yet you are alone. You feel at peace within and everything seems right in your life. It's as if there is balance in your life and you can breath easy. Although it's only for a moment, it seems as if everything makes sense and you have the answers to all your questions. You have found where you are on your path and you are where you are supposed to be. All the confusion and questions you have had about your destiny doesn't matter because you are sure within your heart that you have all you need to live a peaceful life. As quickly as this moment comes, it may slip away. Don't be concerned because as you live your life with good intentions, you will find that these moments will come more frequently. You can live the life that you desire, if you believe in you who are meant to be. Today, give yourself a moment to catch your breath. In that moment, you will have the clarity to see things as they truly are. This is the time to gather your thoughts and be the person you have envisioned.
 Enjoy!
 
(All I know is that you have to experience being at peace to understand it. It's been a challenge to catch my breath when I'm always on the go, I guess that's why the universe changed my life around so that I was forced to slow down. Catching my breath is something that I'm getting used to doing.)

Making Time For Your Spirit

There are times when your life feels meaningless and you drift aimlessly without focus. It seems easy enough to blame it on whatever is going on in your life at this time. But whether it is true or not, it is what you believe that matters. Your life becomes what you believe it is. During this period of indecision and stagnation, your spirit loses some of it's light because it's not being heard. When your mind closes off to all, it also becomes deaf to the messages of the spirit. The spirit does not die, but simple remains silent until you are ready to listen. As the year closes, it is time for you to shake off the doldrums and begin planning for what lay ahead. Whatever your goals are for next year, include making time for your spirit. By living a life with love and compassion, your spirit will fill the emptiness in your heart. Today, begin doing things that make you happy and feel at peace. No matter how busy you get during this time of year, make time for yourself. For by caring for yourself, you will be able to help others. Your life reflects what you believe in.
Believe!
 
(When my life used to get busy, I would blame my moods on being too tired. But if I stopped for a moment, I would have realized that I created the chaos most of the time. I was responsible for overextending myself and making everyone else a priority but myself. Now, it doesn't matter how busy I get, I am still at peace. The difference is that my welfare is priority. If I'm taking care of myself, then I can help more people. I believe that can hear my spirit much more clearly since moving to Maui. In the silence, I can hear so much more. It is time to let go of all of my doubts and trust in what the universe has planned for me.)

Asking One More Time

There are times when you feel as if we are not listening to you and question our existence. But we are here and with you every step of the way of your journey. It's not that we do not hear you, but wait until you are sure of what you are asking for. It may seem that you pray with such intensity that it makes your heart cry with wanting. But after the moment passes so does the level of desire. It's important you continue to have hope that all things come to pass. But most of you can acquire all of this, under your own worth. We have given you everything to make all things possible, even making your own wishes and desires come true. So remember when asking for something and it doesn't transpire, then ask again. You will receive what you truly desire. Today, ask for something. It has always been within your grasp to attain all.
 
Each one is unique like us...
 
(When I ask for things and nothing transpires, I wonder if the universe hears me. Sometimes I lose track of how many times I ask for the same thing. It's not that I don't receive, I just ask for the same thing over and over. I believe that I receive what I deserve to help me on my journey. It sometimes makes me think if I am receiving what I truly desire or what I need at this time. Am I so intuned with my path that what I ask is what the universe was going to send to me anyway. I guess it always begins with...trust and the belief that we are all truly blessed.)

Finding Peace

Peace is a state of mind that may seem foreign to you. Not everyone is at peace with themselves, so for some it may be an uncomfortable place to be. When your life is chaotic, you may be more used to the feeling of struggling and striving to get ahead. But it is in quiet and reflection that you see your potential and your purpose in life. Some may never experience peace in their lives, but they may still live their life with purpose. Peace comes with the acceptance that everything is as it is supposed to be, no more, no less. It is not a measure for success or potential, but a place to be when you begin to live not only for yourself but for others. Today, do something that makes you happy. When you are happy and content then your spirit relaxes and you are able to think more clearly. You will find peace when you find contentment in your life.
Let's find peace together...
 
(I am finding that peace is in my heart, so it doesn't matter how my day is going. I am always at peace. I don't know the exact moment that it happened. All I know is that I feel differently about things. I guess perspective changes when you surrender control of what is supposed to be. My world is no longer exclusively mine. It includes the lives of everyone that I interact with. Peace to me is finding that there is no right or wrong in life, but what is at this moment.)

A Moment For Reflecting

As the year begins to wind down, it's time for you to take a moment to reflect upon this past year. Were you the person you thought yourself to be? Did you accomplish all that you set out to do this past year? Did you treat others with love and compassion? You may not have been the person you would have liked yourself to have been, nor accomplish the goals that you intended. But thinking back to all the people that you interacted with, did you treat them well? You may not have answers to these questions because it often times takes some thought, but you must have a general idea of how you did. A time for reflection, is what it says. A moment to think and be quiet within oneself. Not to make decisions or feel bad about what you did or didn't do. Just a moment or two of reflecting, changes the direction you decide to take in the the future. Today, think about life changes. Be ready for things to be shifted in the coming year. As you take time to reflect upon the past, use what you learn about yourself to meet the challenges of the new year.
Sit with me for awhile...
 
(I think it's important for me to get ready for the new year. Reflecting back to the past year, reminds me of how far I've come to where I am today. But there would have been no way I could have predicted where I would be and what I would be doing at this time. All I can do for now is to reflect upon how I treated others and what I'd like to do in the coming year.  I am in for many more changes coming my wa,y. I hope to keep my feet grounded and my heart open, as I continue to help everyone who crosses my path.)
