This is the last day of the month, I am on a mission. A mission of making a few changes before my birthday. It all starts in the head. Last night in my dreamland, I was guided and given a workshop that lasted all night. Meaning it was just all in my head, but it was very meaningful. I got great input and I woke up and wrote it down. There were some old thoughts that I really didn't want to hang on to and these are the things I can give myself for my birthday that is coming up.
The challenge for you is to ask yourself, what would you give yourself for your birthday? Something that maybe you don't have to buy!!! Maybe a workout, a nap, good thoughts.

01-30-11

Another beautiful day. I am excited to start my birthday month tomorrow. I always like to get a headstart as this is the last day of the month I will givemyself a present of love and acceptance and checking out new thoughts and new plans and new vibrations for my body.
I am getting arthritis or something in my hands and I need to do some things to try and stop that before it gets worse and maybe can't even play my guitar.
The challenge today is to take a look and ask yourself what if your body wouldn't allow you to create the way you create right now? Would you find new things to create or fall victim? Just spend some time on those thoughts today. Love to all this Sunday.

It looks like I have this day done 2 times. Oh, well. Today is a beautiful day. Little Cooper was having a great morning then all of a sudden he is not feeling so good. Don't know? For the focus of creative day, I don't know what to say. I guess I will get to friends. How are your relationships with your friends going? I have a couple friends that are kind of missing. I don't know what is going on with them. The challenge is to look at your friends and is there someone you really need to get a call out too. Then are your friends involved in your creativity or are they simply friends. Nothing wrong with friends of all kind. Have a great day and stay in love and not fear.

01-28-11

Wow!!! This is so awsome, I have been so busy todya that it seems like midnight right now. Do we have enough energy and time to do what we want? That is the challenge question today. I mean I have many many hours of TV or doing nothing and then all of a sudden I don't have enough time to get enough sleep. Or to get home to take care of the dog. Just the layed back feeling. Well, I do get to sleep in tomorrow and I love dreamland as you know. So Thank You! I am very very very very very grateful. Now if my hormones will just let me sleep.

01-27-11

The challenge today is to totally live soft and in love, not contracted and tight. Which would be coming from fear. The other thing for today is to really look at things like it was the first time. Since you are looking with love, don't let the fear or negative thoughts enter your creative path.
Good luck. I am enjoying this day because of this. I am life loving, not life fearing. How about you?

01-26-11

I need to get inspired today for this lovely blog. I had the weirdest dream last night. Well, I had many dreams last night. I was in dreamland. One thing I would like to share was.

I walk around in this maze of myself!
Each corner a mirror.
I am so afraid!
And I look again and it is only me I see.
Truly.
How do I know this.
It is by touch, by feel,
By others life force running through them.
And as I connect my energy to them and allow
We become one, we are one, so this is all I can see!

I was doing some energy on my hubby's shoulders and this above message came to me and Ihad to get up and write it down.

Another dream where I woke up crying was, my first love (who has passed) came to me and he was with another, and I wanted to go with them, as a group was moving by foot. I was totally stuck, and I realized "I have nowhere to go" And then I started crying. I was and have been stuck in this one spot of energy where I am so afraid to move I have no where to go. I woke up very scared and actually crying. Then I had to get up again and write this down. Then I saw me going over a ridge with many people and it was beautiful and open and color everywhere and I was one with all the people and the universe. And the best part I was moving. I wasn't afraid and I wasn't stuck. WELCOME TO MY WORLD. Some of the other images I won't even go into. They may be a syfi novel.

Again the challenge is on your subconscious, or your dream world. Is it vivid? Does it effect your real life? Mine definately seems too. The stuck energy was defintely something I have wanted to see for a very very long time and was brought to me from a loved one. I love it when he comes to me in my dreams. I wanted to just crawl inside him and not have a life. Maybe there is where I got stuck. What do you think? Love to all today. Take a look at yourself in everyone. You are there. Even the people you think you can't stand to be around. Just look.

01-25-11

I have to admit I loved dreamland this morning and didn't want it to stop. But I had a date with my hubby, a lunch date, so I had to get up. Really great lunch, but then I got so so tired. Oh well. Creation. Yes, a safe place to create. What have I created lately. Well, I have created some new communication in my many parts. My self talk has changed. Maybe that is because I am a different zodiac sign. HA< now that is the news around the world huh? My hubby didn't know but we talked to the waitress and she is the new sign. Our son is the new sign also. Wow, I wonder what this has to do with all the books written, all the charts that have been made. Sometimes things change. How do you feel about change? This is the challenge. Sometimes I crave change, other times I hate it. I dread it. I can honestly say I am very afraid of it. How about you?

01-24-10

APPRECIATION!! I have had very many sleepless nights, stressful thoughts of fear and no future. What is that all about. I am wondering if my age and hormones have something to do with it. I had no sign of hope, no sign or feeling of love. That is in the middle of the night. Then I wake up and have love and hope. Tonight I really have to give up the fear and go to the love. Because there can't be both at the same time. I choose love.
I am real and that sometimes isn't as fun as other things may be.
The challenge for you today is how real are you? Reality is only in your thoughts. Really, if you think things are bad or you live in fear you have those thoughts. Love and finding the love isn't always easy. I am thankful for today, I am thankful for the sun, I am thankful for the work that I got to do today. Thank you, and have a great evening and a GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.

01-23-10

Why would I love to watch Hoarders? I think I have written in my blog about this before. Well, I am watching it again. Nothing else on TV and I guess I am hooked on TV too. Now with the dog and all of the dog stuff and doors in weird places I feel like I am living in way more clutter.
Is there any thing wrong with not doing nothing? I am asking that as the challenge today. Take a look at that. I am putting everything off until tomorrow. I didn't sleep much last night so today I am burnt out. Sang at church and that was good. Well, off to dinner and then more TV.

01-22-11

Nothing like collaberation. A work day for a new workshop that I am going to lead or help lead. It is on weight loss. But weight isn't there because of food as much as the compulsion or emotions that you want to push down. Or emotions you may want to eat.
The challenge today is collaberation and how that works for you? Or does ego get in the way, or you would rather be with someone and get more work done. Sometimes it is simply the person you are working with. Cuz your energy goes together well. That was my experience. Have a great evening with loved ones.

01-21-10

Oh my gosh the challenge for today is can you actually take care of yourself and not go to a class or a meeting that you feel very important? This morning I needed sleep not driving to town again. I am so tired of driving way into town. I am so tired of the dark weather and then it was a full moon. I needed to spend time with Cooper also, and that is what I did. I did go to work, but not the class. Company tonight and creative work tomorrow.

01-20-11

It was an exciting morning. I was looking for publishers for my childrens books and saw that there was something at my Center for Spiritual Living with others that want to get published. I think I was the only one with childrens words. Mine has the drawings too.
And I wanted to get my blog put into a book too. Just many ideas coming out of those 2 hours this month and I will go again next month.
The challenge for you is to see if there is something you have been wanting to explore. Write them down and see if you can find something that your can do to get the support you need. Maybe you start a blog, maybe you chat on line, maybe you find a class. Maybe a library or community center has something that is even free. Try it. Write it down and guess what, I asked and one just popped up.

01-29-11

I think this is really close to a full moon as all things are shaping up or not. Communication and thoughts are running a little wild in many friends that I talk with. That being said, let us look at the challenge for the day. I want to make sure it is what I am challenged with and that is... "Sometimes I have to talk to people at certain times, because of work and such and that isn't a time that is the best time to be in the moment." The challenge being, I am feeling very frustrated and or tired, or simply not in the mood and I have to do it anyway. It isn't a flowing, meaningful conversation, it is hard, doesn't satisfy anyone, not so loving and so my challenge is why even do it.
Oh, my gosh. Isn't that the story, isn't that the reality that we give ourselves. What if we said I am calling you with love but it isn't a very positive time to talk with me. I love that. And so it is.

01-19-11

I have to admit going to the dentist is not one of my favorite places to go. My body reacts before I can even give it a chance. My upper body started shaking and my hands were shaking while they were giving me my shots, and my heart was going crazy. The dentist had to stop and said she would come back after I was a little numb. Well, for me it takes 2 times as many drugs to do anything to me. Emergency wards have found that out, and all my dentists.
Bottom line was I had to connect, with something bigger than myself because I was out of control and it wasn't even my mind at this point. It was body memory.
The challenge for you is to look at your life and see what things makes your body react and you don't even really have the thought first. This was very powerful for me. They left me alone for a while and I made a commitment to connect to something that could take me to the beach. And I went to the beach in many places with this presence that I am quite aware of. Tears came out of my eyes and I made it. I still am very very numb. No not dumb, numb. My body knows something that I don't have thoughts about. I made it. So can you. Ask for help.

01-17-11

First of all I want to confirm something that I was working on yesterday.
Remembering Well-Being is the basis for my world which allows the flow for wellness, energy, abundance, ease, freedom and clarity. This can go along with the art of allowing.
Now the challenge today is to become this goodness, this wellness and then being a teacher by living it. I am going to change my vibration today to go with the wellness.

01-16-11

Been in conversation all day about what is going on in our world and what is going on in our minds. I have been having some very confusing and negative emotions and thoughts. My friend called and she was having the same thing. Hubby, the same. So is there something in the air. Or are our tides disrupting the flow. But we came to the conclusion that money and the thoughts about money are really at the basis of many of our fears. The other conclusion was to support others. I mean really, instead of judging everyone, why not be curious and/or loving.
The challenge for today is to take a look at how you deal with things currently? Can you live in love and not fear? Can you not judge others? Can you find a person to have a conversation about the goodness in the world? Can you look at yourself and say do I believe that there is goodness int he world or you believe people are angry, or evil or what do you think?

01-15-10

Saturday. I actually remember what I did last Saturday. Hubby and I went to Costco and saw some great friends that work 5 days a week. We usually go to Costco during the week. Today was kind of a weird day as I got up and got ready for work and then at the last minute I checked my schedule and I don't work till late. So now I have all day and the evening will be taken up with work. It was OK with me. Just changed things more for my hubby.
The challenge today I have is to not have a challenge. Knowing that everything is just as it should be and relax. Enjoy.

01-14-11

What kind of moods have you been having? I don't know if it is the weather or what, but I have been very angry, hateful and definately not grateful. I felt so bad that when I woke up this morning at around 4:00 I couldn't sleep and had a horrible morning today. I was wondering if I was being effected by things or energys outside myself. I called and asked friends if they were having a bad day. Even Cooper had a very bad day. I vowed to have better days. I vowed to stay in spirit and not in the human aspect.
The challenge for you is ask yourself, what realm do you live in? Do you live in the realm of goodness behind every corner, or judgment and self doubt. They say what you resists, persists. Then I need to let go of more stuff. Actually being more grateful can help. Yesterday I hated many things. I don't usually use the word Hate. But I did. I don't think that was really the case. But I do have some physical aspects that may have something to do with the mental.
Be of spirit, in the flesh. Trusting that you are in the right place at the right time always for your best. Wow!!!

My challenge for you today is to do a walking meditation, or a written meditation. I am going to do a written one right now. In this moment I can know that I am one with a intelligence that heals my wounds. This presence can heal my inner wounds as well. As I open my heart on this very dark rainy day I can allow myself in with love, caring and nurturing. A warm place to sit and feel loved, to know that all is well, that all is good. That right now I don't need to worry about anything. I can trust this presence to take care of me as I open to taking care of myself. This day will grow into the perfect actions, perfect interactions and comments with everyone. I will trust as the day unfolds. I am grateful for these thoughts and this day whether it be sunny or rainy. Thank you. I needed that.....

1-12-11

Yes, here we are again. A safe place to be, should I change the name of my blot? Should I take the 365 blogs of last year and make a book out of it for the challenges that I gave you everyday?
I am in a class about financial freedom and how money is never the issue it is about how you are in life. Many things have been coming up for me around freedom.
The challenge for today is to do something you always do and do it in a new way. Like even getting dressed, or preparing your food, or the way you put on your makeup. Just do something very simple different. Be aware of how that makes you feel? Do you have to really work hard to do something different? Now I have to figure out what I will do differently. Have a great great day.

I love the date. And I will make this short and sweet. The challenge is to see if you are a person that may go along with others ways or are you always on the other end of the idea? I heard myself in two different situations with friends and spouse giving the other side of the idea. Is this always wanting to be right or just illuminating another position. Well, th way it went this evening was I was really just illuminating other options and not being judgmental in anyway. I loved this feeling. I didn't have a knot in my stomach and I didnt' feel defensive or have the other persons apparent feelings of defensiveness enter into the conversation. It was the absoluteness of being grounded and sharing myself without the dreadful ego thoughts. I thank my practice, I thank my friends for their practice, I thank my family for their insights. Now, that is a grand experience, to thank people that may be so close you can't eve hear their insights. That is what I am so grateful today. What insights I may see as judgements, are grateful insights from loved ones. And I grow and expand from allowing that into my life. And I thank God for that because without knowing the experinece of being conneceted to something as simple as breath to all that lives and all that will ever live, makes all the difference on this planet. And I know you know what I am talking aobut.

01-10-11

The challenge for you and me today is to have a couple deadlines. I have a childrens color book from one of my songs that I want done. Soon. So I said by the end of this week. The words are all done, I just have to draw the pictures for the book and print it. Create a cover and take it to the center and see if they will put it in their book store. I want to publish a couple books this year. I don't know how to do that. I know that I have talked about this before on my blog. OK well I am sending this oudt withour any authority and that is a challenge that I will have to take up in another blog. I am mad, upset, pissed and mad. So Ther I have some emotions to deal with and I have to do that physically. Meaning I have to hit my mattress. Whatever, I don't hit people but aI do need to do the physical activity. Sometimes it is hitting with a tennis racket or pillow. Blank you. Is an issue right now. I am sorry for being human!!~!!!

01-09-11

Sunday, the day of rest. Do you sometimes rest too much? That is the challenge today, to take a look at your makeup. I like to go to bed and sleep, some people I know can't sleep and have to move move move. This is in defence of feelings I think. It is not wanting to deal with something. It could be an emotion, a situation or circumstances that you may not want to deal with. There are different body types that I believe makes a difference in the sleep or move kind of person. I know in some stressful situations I cleaned for days. So maybe you are one way some times and one way another. I have had it both ways. My puppy is kind of lathargic today too. Maybe energy touches other energies. I know it does. Keep up a focus of a new way, a new year, a new way. There is goodness always, even if it is hidden in the chaos. Pardon the spelling and grammer today, as I am a little distracted.

01-08-11

We are going to talk about having fun while you live. The challenge today is to take one thing that you may do every day and have some fun with it. Like when I cook sometimes (tonight) I am telling how I create this delicious, walnut, garlic, lemon, parmeson crusted talopia, with lemon angel hair pasta and roasted asparagus. Yes it sounds incredable, huh? And it is. I do cook good. Who knew? And I like it. YEAH!!!!!! Making the bed. Cleaning the toilet, come on let us be creative as we do out outward work that we have to do daily.

01-07-11

Practice is the word of the day. The thought of the day. I am challenging you today to see if you work at new things? Do you like to practice and take classes to learn more about your interests. I realized that I don't want to practice every day at anything. I never have. If you did practice what would that do? I could do anything I set my mind to do. I have meditated for over 20 years. I did my blog for obver 385 days yet I don't see me as things I practice. So I will take a look at that. take care...

1-05-10

I have been moving some stuck energy. The energy are stuck thoughts. Do you believe that? That is the challenge for you today is to ask yourself if you think your thoughts have anything to do with your health, your energy, any symptoms that you may have. Moving energy in my body is usually stuck energy that is stuck around a thought or a belief that you think is the truth. The hundreath monkey effect, has been proven to work. The quantim physics on water or plants that have been thought on. Some bad thoughts some good and what the difference is in the outcome. Thinking we aren't good enough, or we aren't making enough out of ourselves etc. Can lead to neck aches, etc. Money worries can tie you right up. Spouce, mothers, children, fathers, all have the capacity of paralysing us. Only in our thoughts though. You hear of the POW's that never allow their thoughts to go to the dark side. Well, in our everydays lives we have the same power. May the force be with you today to collapse any fears or beliefs that you may think others are imposing on you. Allow a new space for the goodness that is around every corner. "a space to be you".

1-05-11

Hard time sleeping last night. I was having weird dreams and writing a childrens story. The other thing that came to me was the name of this blog. "a safe place to create". I thought that what this blog was all about but at 1:37am I got the message of what I really wanted was, "a safe place to be". To be the person I was meant to be by the bigger picture not the small me. The challenge for me today is to stay focused and take care of myself with lack of sleep even though I have to go to work. Good to have hubby babysit puppy. Way to go. Maybe I will write more later but I hope you got lots of sleep and are ready for a big day.

1-04-2011

I have been cleaning and working today getting caught up. Boy I still need to get rid of more stuff. More clothes etc. Get more organized. I think we all get a little bug around the first of the year. My creativity may be clogged up with clutter. Since I got the dog I have more piles, cuz he can't go in every room and I don't get to clean up in those rooms. Excuses, excuses.
The challenge for you today is to ask yourself what you are feeling this new year? Are you doing the same or doing things a little differently. I am looking at doing even more things different. I need to make up some deadlines and give them to my friends and have that something they can bring up to me. What are you feeling? I just said that earlier and during this writing I have had uncovered some feelings I didn't know was there. A few tears fell. For what reason I don't even know. Let us live these days in allowing us to move from moment to moment and to feel moment to moment. Create moment to moment. I created a very full stomach that makes me tired. HA!

1-03-11

Yes, the third day of the year and I do have to say I did many new things. Things that I have wanted to do for at least a year I did on my way to work today. I stopped at a random design studio that I have admired from afar and actually thought about trying to work there. I don't have the creditials but why not go in and just talk to the people. I loved it. Then I did turn my resume into a teaching studio. They don't have acting teachers I don't think. So I would be an asset. Then I had a dream about producing a cooking show locally. So I stopped at a great store that has a kitchen in it and got the information. I may approach them with an idea to get people into the store. A competition locally for people that love to cook. I don't know. I just have to go with the visions and dreams that I have. I have ideas and was to fearful to ask questions that I didn't think were appropriate. Well, get over it. I really want to do some different things this year. Maybe produce, publish, etc. More creating.
The challenge to you is to challenge yourself this year. Talk to people you usually wouldn't, do things you wanted to do but didn't. You know what we aren't on this planet forever. I want to listen things that are given me in my dreams or anyway I can get it. I will take all that is given me. Thank you. I am grateful. Happy New Year!!

1-02-2011

The challenge for this second day of 2011 is to ask yourself, do you think it is ok to be yourself? Is it OK for others to be themselves? Do you ever feel like you have to cover up who you truly are because others may not like it? I know I have and I don't want to do that again. Of course I will be conscious of others feelings and such but I don't have to cover me up to please everyone. I don't like conflict so I know I do it when there is conflict in the air. My insides go crazy. Time to move into this day and know I am OK. And you are OK.

1-01-2011

Okey dokey. Today is Oprahs big new network debut. I will try and watch some of that. I will be working while the men in my life will be home watching FOOTBALL. I guess I don't mind working when that is happening all day. The really great thing that happened already this year was when I awoke there was a huge bird sitting in the tree by our pond. It looked like a great big owl but it was daylight. It ended up being some kind of hawk we think. It was a first for us. I took it as a sign of power for the new year. Do you do that?
Thus the challenge is to look at your life and see if you see things as signs, or if you are thinking of someone and they call. etc. I do. Do you? Great New Years day. Look at things with a new set of eyes today. I am going to.
