Every Day Is A New Beginning!

My life has definitely not been going as planned. Most days I feel as though my potential is virtually untapped, even though I spend enormous energy attempting to make a difference in the world. Often, I am frustrated when I encounter people who say they want to change the world, but show no evidence of that desire in their actions. Even this blog has suffered of late as it becomes difficult to get my message of connection out to people caught up in separation programming.

As I see the light of dawn peeking through my window this morning, I am again reminded that there is a whole new day in front of me, still unblemished by the often callous and cruel world. I am able to leave the pain of yesterday behind to focus on what I can create in the world today!

Pain is as much of a choice as happiness. Yes, the world can beat me down. That doesn't mean I have to stay there. I can always choose to be thankful for what the pain has taught me and move beyond it.

Today I choose to move beyond the pain. Today I choose to live life to the fullest, building on the lessons I have acquired in this lifetime. My own personal happiness is definitely up to me!

Every day is a new beginning! Allow yourself to let go of the past and create the world you desire to live in!

Not My Usual Post

When I set out (just a little over a year ago now) to create a new blog, it was my intention to try to help people learn to connect to their own hearts in order to empower them and create a better world. (Connect...Empower...Create). I also had a personal goal of trying to discipline my writing so that I was writing a little something every day instead of just every once in a while. (I have a tendency to be very much a free spirit in my personal life and abhor routine.)

Although I don't feel as I have made as much progress on a global level as I would have liked, I do believe I have made people question life as they know it. Questions are the first step to change because they inevitably allow you to see things from a different perspective. I will continue to plug away, little by little.

My personal goal of writing every day has been accomplished and is firmly ingrained in me at this point in time. I have managed to write at least one post every day for a full year. There were many days I struggled. There were days I'm sure the subject matter was flighty or uninspiring. Still, I have proven to myself that I can do it.

I may not write here quite as frequently as I have this past year. I have a couple of big book projects I want to spend my time on now that I am writing daily. That doesn't mean I am not thinking about you or not here for you. You can always contact me through this blog or on my Facebook page if you have any questions. The door is open.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog! I'm sure I'll continue to chime in when the inspiration finds me!!! Please continue your own search for connection and answers. The more your inner world changes, the more your outer world also changes!

Re-Thinking What Is Possible!!!

What if...your understandings of how society works were wrong? What if...everything you have ever been taught about human behavior was wrong? What if...we could step outside those boxes and create a new reality? What would that look like? What are the possibilities?

I know I do not like the world the way it is at present. Too much hunger. Too much disease. Too much poverty. Too much pollution. Too much violence. Too much war. Too much agony and pain overall. For someone with highly developed skills of empathy, this much suffering can be very difficult to take.

We are taught it is a dog-eat-dog world. Everyone must fight for what they want. Survival of the fittest is the way things are. Our world's resources are limited. There is not enough to go around.

What if...I told you there is a solution for every problem? Would you believe me and try to find the solutions, or would you scoff and turn away?

My heart tells me there are always solutions!!! My heart tells me to ask new questions that will help me find new answers and increase my understanding!!! My heart tells me there are ways for everyone to not only have enough but to also live abundantly!!!

Let me give you a concrete example. We are told the world cannot possibly feed all of its seven billion people--that there is not enough land to grow enough food to alleviate the hunger. I don't buy it!!! I look around and see creative solutions to food problems everywhere. An initiative in Boston allows food to be grown on vacant lots, providing healthy food, business opportunities and agriculture training to local residents. Los Angeles residents were able to overcome city gardening ordinances to be able to grow food on small but usable strips of land. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, over a million pounds of food is grown year round on three acres of land using a vertical aquaponics design that even incorporates protein in the form of fish! Then there is the organic farmer in California who ended up with a bumper crop of veggies during one of the most severe droughts on record!!! These are just a few examples, but they all say one thing to me: there are solutions to every problem!!!

Don't like the world you live in either? Join me in changing it!!! Allow yourself to rethink what is possible. Begin asking the questions that will open your mind and heart up to new understandings!!!

Even more important: get into your own heart and connect to the love within it!!! By connecting to heart, you can begin connecting to the infinite wisdom of the universe, expanding your knowledge base and understandings exponentially!!!

It is time to re-think what is possible so we can create a world we all want to live in!!!

Connect...Empower...Create!!!

A few years ago when my youngest son was a junior in high school, I realized my kids would all be raised and the focus of my adult life would pretty much be at an end. Yes, I worked most of that time, but I've never had a job I felt was my life's calling. I began to search for myself. It took the skills of a life coach to help me ask the questions that would lead me back to me.

For years, I've seen myself as a spiritual teacher of sorts, but I was seriously confused because I knew I did not want to do that within the confines/restrictions of a religion. I believe myself to be connected to God/Source/the Divine. I know I am often blessed with extra, intuitive knowledge because of that connection. In past, when the info and feelings were very strong, I passed on some of that intuitive info to people who needed reassurance that God knew what they were going through and was there for them. Occasionally I would access information for friends (readings). 

What my coach helped me figure out was that, while I can do readings, I am uncomfortable doing them. Sometimes I find information I just don't want to know. (Can you say awkward?) Then there have been times in my life when I revealed what I knew and the situations did not go well. People can be embarrassed by circumstances in their lives and it's even more uncomfortable when someone else knows their problems. Relying on intuitive info pertaining to someone else can also be scary because your rational mind tells you that you're crazy and need to just leave it all alone.

However, there is one thing I do know. I am not the only one connected to the Divine. We are all connected and we all have the ability to access that information that is unconscious. While I am not comfortable being the go-between between others and God, I am more than happy to help you remember your own Divine connection. I truly believe if more people can learn to focus on this connection and think from that place--the place of heart--we can manifest a better world.

This blog was created to be the means to this end. My goal can be summed up in three simple words: Connect...Empower...Create!!! I desire to help you CONNECT to the Divine...EMPOWER yourself...and CREATE the life of your dreams!!! 

God desires for us to remember that direct connection. God wants us to become awake and aware so that we understand our place in the world and use our natural abilities to accomplish our life's purpose. 

I am not really here to teach you these things. I am here to help you remember them.

If you are reading this, the Divine is calling you to remember who you are!!! Thank you for your willingness to join me on this journey of connection, empowerment and creation!!! I am looking forward to seeing what you are able to create in this world!!! Let's build it together!!!
