The Final Chapter

You..were a chapter. The last chapter in a book about to come to it’s end. I had no choice, but to turn the page..and begin again. Either in the same book, whose story I already knew. Or by picking up another book, whose outcome was new. I choose to move on. Thank you for the Lessons, The Time, The Love. You will forever remain in my heart. But you’re no longer a part..of my story. 

Reversing Negativity..Life Tips…From an Introvert. 

Life can get a bit crazy at times. A lot of times I find that I am not quite sure what to do. It’s at times like these when I wish that Life had an Instruction Manual. Remember those?
They used to come with things when you bought them at the store to teach you how to use them.
Where is the Life Instruction Manual?? 👀 
It has dawned on me that maybe we already have the manual, and like the dreaded “group project” at school (sorry if I offend anyone, I’m an Introvert. Small doses folks.) Anyway like that group project perhaps we are all supposed to get “together” and collaborate on this manual. 
I think that this is the case because we all have different skill sets and understandings of how we “Do Life.” Some things work for others that the next person would never even think to try if it hadn’t been introduced or shown to them. So today I would like to start a collaboration on a giant Group Project. 
Introverted Antennas up. Xanax in place. Prepared for people interaction. 
Let’s Do This! 
Today’s Focus: Releasing Negativity
Today begins the first day of the 8th month of the year, as we know it. 
If any of you are metaphysically inclined, then you already have the understanding that the number 8 corresponds and vibrates in our lives in the areas related to prosperity and abundance. 
It’s out there for all of us to have, so why don’t we all have it?
Negativity. We essentially block ourselves from all that we can be and by focusing on all that we can’t be and don’t have. What we believe is indeed what we receive. I could go into a really long explanation of how, and why, but if you just take a moment to sit back and review your own life and how it flows, you’ll see it. 

On the days that you wake up and your thoughts lean in the direction of: 

‘Ugh this is gonna be a crappy day.”  

What kind of day do you end up having if you stay on that train of thought?
If it works one way, and clearly it works because there’s a lot of pissed off people running around this place…then it has to work the other way. 

Today, I’m “In my Zen.” 🙏🏽

Today, I am going to focus my thoughts and energies on what I “Do’ have and have accomplished and be thankful. For that.

 This kind of focus creates space and opens the door for more things that are wanted to come in. I’ll share some of my tips with you and please share yours with me in the comment section. Introverts included. This is a group project. No hiding allowed. 

How I start my day when I’m in my Zen. 🙏🏽

I wake up and before I even get out of bed. I remind myself..that I woke up. (I am thankful.)
I look around me and realize that I have all that I need by way of food, shelter, etc. (I am thankful.) 

If I find myself now out of bed and leaning towards a self defeating thought, I stop what I am doing and focus on “adjusting that thought.” 

Example: Man, I really don’t feel like going to work today..etc. (Negative Thought) 

Reversing the thought: “ Me going to work today allows me to accomplish the second thought above. I am “able” to work and generate income which is needed for me to traverse this Monopoly Board that we call life and someone who doesn’t have a job or all that they need would love to have..the very job that I am complaining about. Things are good. (I am thankful.)”

Some other possible thought options:

– I Can do this. 

One task at a time. 

– I made it through yesterday, and all of the days before that. I will make it through today. 

– Everything is done for a reason and is working out, Exactly as it should. What that is…will reveal itself to me in time. 

This is a repetitive process that may have to be done a few times at random points throughout the day, for random things. But you get the gist. Right?

Awesome. 

Please share with the rest of the group some strategies and tactics that you have for reversing negative thoughts and taking back control of your day which in essence allows for you to open that door..for more. 

Have an Amazing Day!! 😘

Why I Love my Aries Man

I’ve been told on more than one occasion in my life, that I am handful. 
In my defense that is not actually true. I’m “two” handfuls..and probably a good portion of a forearm. It is what it is. Because I know exactly who I am and how I can overwhelm even the most sturdiest of personalities, I’m writing today to give Kudos to my Aries man and to let you guys know why I Love him so. 

He’s able to take a joke. Even at his own expense. 

No one has that I have come across has been able to fully understand my humor and to take a joke without being completely offended by what I am saying. Not thus far. In this case I would say that I have truly met my match. Not only can he take a joke, but somehow he manages to flip it back around on me and have me pretty much in tears and laughing at myself..and him in the end. He has an Awesome sense of humor! 

He understands my “Weirdness”
Now I don’t know if this is an act or a real thing, but my thoughts and behaviors can be well..pretty out there. From UFO’s to why pregnant women should be given more time off work and beyond, he rarely misses a step. I don’t know if this is a good thing, or we’re both nuts. In either case..it works. I’ve had to take way less Xanax since he came into my life. Thank you baby, because my next topic of discussion was going to be on how much Xanax is too much.

He gets it. 

He watches my favorite TV shows with me.

From the Big Bang Theory, to Scandal. He’s in it to win it. In return I have watched some things that I would have never considered before: Vampire movies, Deadpool, and I think we have a Netflix date to watch some more guys blowing up things and doing things I don’t quite understand, but fair is fair right? 

He’s worth it. 

He’s just an all around Awesome Guy. Far from perfect. He admits his mistakes when he makes them and makes genuine and noticeable efforts to correct them or at least understand what I am yelling about, or in most cases being silent about as I shut down more often than I yell. He just waits for me to snap out of it and we move on with our lives. He’s present. Attentive. Makes an Effort and he shows me every single day that he loves me in both big and small ways. To add icing to the cake he is freaking gorgeous to boot! 

Seriously..

What more can a girl ask for? 

Do Life. Your Way. ( A Partner Post)

Do Lifepic

What happens..when you live in a world filled with so many things going on around you that other people can’t or actually refuse to see?

What happens when you see things and just “know” things..from your soul, but you can’t share them because it seems that no one is really listening?

Do you try..anyway to share, to enlighten or do you shift your energies towards evolving with the new understandings that you have?

We were all born in Tune. Even before we took our first breaths. In Tune with the body of our Mother’s as they carried us. Somehow “knowing” without being told what our bodies needed to sustain themselves. To grow. To thrive. Then..we are born.

I wonder what many people think when babies and children before they become fully exposed to the world seem to have better insights into People and things going on around them. I wonder if we think it is an accident that we can place a newborn in the arms of one person and they remain calm and at Peace..and then we can take that same child and place them in the arms of another person and that same Peaceful child all of a sudden seems to go completely Haywire??

The child at a certain point is still in Tune. We only seem to become out of tune as we try to force ourselves to Resonate with the “World’ and worldly things..that don’t suit us.

How many times have you had an idea or thought or wanted to do something, only to be advised by those who are deemed older and/or wiser that your ideas are silly and unrealistic. How many of us have fallen off..our path in order to follow that of someone else?

In doing so how many times have you felt the Joy of a new understanding or discovery..slowly fade away?

People including myself, speak to us from an understanding and perspective of “Their” limits. not our own.

I have four sons and one Daughter. When asked the famous question of “What do you want to be when you grow up?” As we all are at some point, I chose not to impose my understandings on them and let them decide for themselves. One chose Parenthood at an early age as I did and is an Awesome Father. Present and Available for his children daily. Which to me is one of the hardest jobs on this Earth. Because as I write..we discover that guiding another person into their Greatness. Their “Own” Greatness, is no easy task. He seems to think because he’s tuned in to the world that says otherwise this is not enough. Not knowing how proud that I am of him for being a Man that “Stays” and shoulders his responsibility and guiding his children safely into their futures. He thinks that he should be a millionaire. Not knowing that the riches of his heart will far outlast that of any monetary means. Not knowing that seeing your child achieve the dreams and goals that “they” want to achieve will open your heart in a way that no words can understand and no money can buy. Seeing someone with “Your” face. Do their “Own” things. Things that you could have never imagined doing. Things that they could have never done..without your Guidance and Support. I love you Son. You’re doing an Awesome Job. Keep at it!

My second born Son chose a different route and now jumps out of Airplanes and has a  literal view of the world that teaches us all. Teaching us all things that as a family we would have never known without his persistence..in being himself and doing his own thing.  I could also have never seen myself doing such a thing, but I feel Amazed and Proud to see him doing Life..his own way.

The other two are still works in progress as they find their way, but it’s been quite a heck of a ride to watch them find themselves. Lastly, the Baby Girl. Well I wouldn’t be surprised if this little two year old didn’t give someone like Hillary a serious run for their money one day. This little girl is Amazingly strong willed and I can’t wait..to watch her thrive and I can already see that she’s not going to let anything..stand in her way.

What these things have taught me..is that we have to learn to Trust. Ourselves. First. Not the world. Not the speakings and teachings of those that we deem to be great. Not our Parents. Our Friends. But Ourselves. It stands to reason that if we started out in Tune that we can find our correct Melody..again. If we allow it.

If we stop living “as if” and start living as “I AM” only then will we see the nature of the backwards lives that many of us as a collective have been living. Then we will understand why it feels so uncomfortable. It’s been like trying to fit into a pair of shoes two sizes too small because “Everybody Else” is doing it. It has dawned on me that unless a person is fully in Tune with themselves and willing to “Do Life” their way that things are bound to go awry.

We call the Artists, the Thinkers, The Dreamers of this world, The Crazy Ones. But who are the Crazy Ones really? To me..to wake up everyday and put on those too tight shoes and try to walk around in them because someone said this is the way it should be done. Is Insanity. Your Body..knows what it needs and it will tell you. If you listen. Your Soul..knows what it needs and it will tell you. If you listen. In this case..I think I have just answered my own Questions.

Do Life. Your Way. Then..watch everything else..fall into place.
