MY NEW YEAR’S WISH FOR ALL

Published on by KCLeave a comment

Putting the 2021 year into perspective has been challenging to say the least. This past year felt very much like a repeat of 2020 in that I feel, the world hasn’t changed much at all. Our governments haven’t grown wiser and certainly are no more attentive now to the people’s wants or needs.

The mainstream media continues to spew out repetitive negative vibes with absolutely no thought to the monumental tolls it’s taking on those of us who just want the truth (the real truth that is), with a sprinkle of joy thrown in along the way to give us hope that there is light to be found at the end of this seemingly very long tunnel.

I see people growing more cold and distant every day. Once we were able to look at one another and smile or nod – basically acknowledging that we are alive and seen. Where it was once enjoyable to go out to run errands and compliment another either on their fabulous ensemble or seriously creative hairdo – we now slink past each other in somber silence, barely noticing anything.

I feel we are living a life in the shadows, afraid to raise our heads and show that we are alive. We are not all sheep to be herded this way and that way in accordance to what those in power tell us is or is not the right way to live our lives. Our creator clearly gives us those guidelines and because of free will – WE GET TO CHOOSE FOR OURSELVES! Please remember choice isn’t about being popular and more often than not, leads to being quit unpopular, but living a deliberate heart driven life is the ultimate path to overcoming every obstacle.

I for one, respect everyone’s choice right up to the moment they attempt to force their choice/will upon me. This is when I have an issue. This is when I stand strong and tall for me. Not to impart my will onto them or try to change their minds and I won’t even judge them for their beliefs or opinions, but I will not be coerced into doing, saying or feeling something that goes against the very fiber of my sovereign being and you shouldn’t either.

My New Year’s wish for all! Stand strong for yourself! Put in the time and energy to research any unanswered questions you may have about anything and don’t be swayed by the first bits of information that may be revealed – push on and on until your curiosity has been truly tempered.

Be kind to yourself. Take the time to do what calms your soul, makes you happy and ultimately brings you to a place of peace within.

Deliberately put forth into the world – love, compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude as this will resonate throughout all human consciousness and it does make a difference, even if you can’t see it.

Lastly, make a difference in someone’s life – a kind word or some random act of kindness can unknowingly change a life in ways you can never imagine – Be the change you want to see in the world.

Blessings to all!

LET GO AND GET BACK TO BASICS

Published on by KCLeave a comment

So, I have made quite a few BIG decisions in the past couple of weeks and probably the most shocking one is….Drum Roll Please…..

I have traded my super smart iPhone for a not so smart flip phone! Oh yes I did!

You’re probably saying “what a crazy lady!” Yah I know…However, If you have been reading my posts these past few months, you will have seen a post about what is happening to our kids who now have cell phones and spend all of their time with their faces glued to their screen and how that disconnect is actually taking us further and further away from the most important things in life!

For several months now I have been logging just how many times a day I picked up my smart phone and I’m ashamed to say that with all the gadgets and apps associated with that fancy phone the highest number was 127 times. That was in 16 hours. That equals 7.93 lifts an hour and I didn’t even burn any calories for it.

I had to stop myself and take a long deep breath and ask “what the hell was I doing that was so important to pick up that device 127 times?”  The stone cold truth is NOTHING!

I found myself tripping around from Face book to the earthquake app then over to Pinterest. Then I would check my text messages, moving onto checking out all the news on Signal, Rumble, Telegram. I checked my astrological forecast every day to see what kind of a day I could expect (like that really makes any difference at all). I checked my fit bit to see how many more steps I needed before I hit my target goal for the day.  I played a little backgammon with myself and won. I spent a few minutes stalking my grown son on FB messenger, and it seems that I did many of these activities several times a day, almost as if I was a pre-programmed robot.

Since giving up my iPhone – I have spent many quality hours with my elderly mother, I cook more wholesome meals. I have been outside everyday breathing in the fresh air and playing with my pup. The biggest difference and I feel the most important one, is that I feel less stressed, more connected to the earth and reality and I sleep better!

So…I challenge everyone to put down your phones and devices for one whole week! Try new things, breath more fresh air, soak in some sun, and let the folks in your life know that you love them with your undivided attention. See the difference for yourself!

Blessings to you!

THE MIRROR

Published on by KCLeave a comment

Life is an ever constant opportunity to learn. I don’t just mean the type of learning that takes us to a classroom or requires us to delve deeply into thousands of books written by others, but a type of learning that we do every single day and for most of us, we don’t even realize it, as we go about our lives doing the everyday things such as chores, jobs, and tending to our external needs etc…

Have you ever noticed how interesting it is when a situation arises that something or someone comes along and it seems familiarly uncomfortable?  You recognize it from a distance or seem to connect an invisible set of dots, but have no conscious understanding of the whys or wherefores? Or maybe you do understand, but it brings about an ‘aha’ moment that is not something you want to face at that particular time, but the universe is forcing you to look into that mirror in order to teach a lesson?

I had one of these moments on Thanksgiving Day. Now that I’m an empty-nester and there is no family nearby to celebrate the holidays with, my husband and I enjoy going to a local restaurant every year for Thanksgiving dinner. This year I wasn’t in a particularly celebratory mood. It felt like a real effort to gussy up and get out of the house. When we arrived we were told that our reservation time had been noted for an earlier slot and then left forgotten for sometime by the wait staff. By the time we were seated, I was feeling quit irritable, but did my very best to suppress this feeling, as I am supposed to be happy and grateful, no matter what runaway emotions are swirling about my head.

Enter the family of 5 seated right next to us – 2 adults and 3 children with the youngest getting into a high chair and screaming at the top of his little lungs for no obvious reason.  At this point I couldn’t help but make some not so nice comment under my breath to my husband, the family didn’t hear me and for this I am very glad, as I can be quit cutting with my tongue when I am completely depleted of patience.

After about 10 minutes into this energy invasion, I excused myself to go to the restroom, I had to pass this family, when all of a sudden the little girl at the table locked eyes with me and joyously announced to everyone – “Look momma isn’t she beautiful?” I swear the wind had been knocked right out of me and as I stood there processing the words of this angelic creature, with her sparkling blue eyes and perfect blond locks of hair teasing her cheeks – All I could do is kneel down to her level and whisper “I think you are beautiful too.”  I smiled at her parents as I regained my composure and stood up. I slowly walked away in the direction I had originally intended all the while shaking my head in amazement.  I had been truly humbled by an innocent five year old on this day set aside for giving thanks.

I have spent the last several years looking into those numerous mirrors presented to me during my awakening and I admit this one touched my very core, because we are all beautiful! We can behave in an ugly way, but when we peel back those layers and begin to discard those actions and emotions that no longer serve our higher purpose – that light is truly visible to all who have the hearts to see. That mirror then becomes less of a lesson and begins to magnify our light beacons just as our creator had intended.

Blessings to you!
