I had a very late post last night and then a car hit our phone lines and we have internet through the phone line. Not dial up. So I wrote a very long blog and couldn't get it out at 10:00 last night, my latest blog ever. I had to go to bed and get up at 5:00am and couldn't sleep because my blog didn't get out on time. I forgave myself.
My challenge to you is how do you forgive yourself when your self driven deadlines aren't done. I had to let go or I wouldn't get any sleep. I didn't get much anyway. Do you give yourself little daily goals, weekly, monthly or see yourself in a year having a project done. This daily routine for me has changed my life. I listen to my head talk more. I let go more. I am more forgiving with myself. And I actually get more done in the long run. Try it..... see how you do things.

MY 100th blog. Congratulations. Wow!! The only reason that I know that is my blog site told me. I love that. I feel better I am not dizzy right now. I did realize something in my meditation and energy work today. I have been uncomfortable in this body that was given me. My body is awesome, beautiful, working well so how could I hate it. Hate is a strong word but why would I not want energy in my body. Cuz it could get knocked right out of me. As it did when I was 3 years old. Well, I know now that the past is as easy to let go of as your breath right now. With all the new studies they are finding out we are not our genetics, we are not only our DNA. We definitely aren't our past lives, unless we choose too. My body has hidden my spark, my light, my passion, my love. Out of fear I couldn't let those things out into the open. So that is disrespectful to life itself and to my body also. It has been contorted and twisted trying to keep me safe from made up fears. This 100th blog is the best time to cut loose this light inside of me. This spark, this hidin me coming out. It is like coming out of the closet with compassion and understanding. Turning fear into faith, sadness into compassion and understanding, protection of the heart turns into freedom and pure love.
My challenge to you is to ask your body if you are hiding inside there? Are you protecting your heart from pain? Are you sad about things you don't even know about? Can you imagine what this can do to the depression epidemic. We think we can't get out of it. Trust me I know. I have been down the spiral and not willing to give up self-destruction. Just take a look and take some time to ask your very special body.

I am feeling so much better. I have been dizzy for 2 days now and that is not a whole lot of fun. It has actually been worse than this but it was bad enough I can't think straight and I can't do much.
I went to physical therapy today and yes my neck muscles were tight and stuck. These last few days I have been having trouble being in the moment and it kept getting worse and worse. I spoke of ego taking over and that takes away my natural connection to life. Loving our healthy life.
Yes, after a bad headache, the flu or anything that take us out of our natural healthy space we get really appreciative of our feeling good.
My challenge to you is to take a look at your health and see if you are taking it for granted. Is there something you could do different to feel better, have more energy or just enjoy the day more.
Maybe a food to give up, a beverage. And really be grateful if you are feeling good today. It can be taken away very fast. Have a great evening.

Happy Easter. The best way to have Easter this year is to not get out of my sweat pants and to do nothing but watch TV, take a nap and get the dinner ready. Yesterday I was having trouble writing this blog. And I went to a wedding and I didn't enjoy that either. I came right home and didn't go to the reception that I was looking so forward too.
This morning I still felt weird. It was ego. I was selfish again. I was self centered and had expectations of the wedding and peoples actions etc. It wasn't like that at all so what happened to me. I felt numb, tired, uninterested. Ego, not spirit. Spirit to me is love, for myself and others. This was about the bride and the groom and their love. Not me, my outfit, my friends and their reactions. This is a pattern with me. I really don't like admitting it. But it is the truth. The Celebration of Life I went to, then this wedding, it is not about me. Until today that is what I did. Now I can look at it different and do it different. It is about giving what I want. Paying attention to others. Seeing them and how wonderful they are. I have always heard give what you want to receive. Well, that is what I am going to do.
My challenge to you is to take a look at your life and ask yourself, are you giving others what you want to receive. You can start right now. Until today I did it this way and now I do it in a fresh and new way. This is as old as Jesus and even before that I am sure. Let's turn this around. I am.

I need some inspiration to write my blog. I have been working so much my creative life at home is on hold, or I am just soaking up lots of input to where I can create. I finished my 60 cards. The last 10 I am not as happy with but I can always redesign them. I am getting ready to go to a wedding and a reception, I really like the little outfit that I put together. Creative dressing. I have nothing. I am wondering around the house trying to come up with a creative thought. I don't have one. I am challenging you to ask yourself if you ever do that? Too much work not enough play takes the creative juices right out of me does it you? I get so drained. How does your work life effect your creativity. I know today I created more abundance and creativity in the retail world. So maybe this abundance will allow me to create more. Abundant universe loves my creativity and it brings abundance and love to everyone it touches. I am on that road. Let us say that today and not feel the void of creative thoughts in an already full mind.

OK, how much do you believe in abundance? I think I have had a tough time with that exact idea. I limit myself, I have attachments. Do You? I am hearing the news in the background and they are filling us with the story of lac, and not abundance. At work today I did an abundance thought process and I had an amazing morning in retail. I had mentioned that I had done an abundant dance as a joke. I really did do that but they don't need to know that. I even had drawn a picture about how abundance comes out of you and touches others.
Tend and befriend. That is the hormone I am trying to connect with. That is how women can bring prosperity back into their lives. And I believe we are having a trend of Women really learning how to be abundant with caring and cooperation not aggression or adrenaline that has been a male way in the business world. We will crush them, we will blow them out of the water. Many women took that philosophy in the work world, but it actually goes against their natural flow. How do you feel about this?
My challenge to you is to see how you feel about abundance? Do you believe the TV and then stop the possibilities of greater and greater abundance for you and your family? Well, for the first time in my life I believe in the goodness of abundance and that it has never went away. The thought process of the nation and the corporations have created this lack. Nature isn't experiencing lack. Trees, grass, plants aren't in this cycle except where mankind may have put their foot prints on life. How do you feel about this? Do you hear yourself closing up around abundance? Can you go with a natural flow not a media flow? Just take a look.

April Fools Day!!! I am not much of a prankster. I don't like to be pranked either. Enough about that, HA!
A challenge for the day is to see what it is you are not seeing. When you do things over and over you look over what you are doing and not at what you are doing. Taking a shower you are mowing the lawn. Doing the dishes you are reliving yesterdays conversations. Or you are complaining about cleaning up the dirty hallway. It is just going to get dirty again. Take a look at what you are not seeing. That is my challenge to me and to you.
