Love Yourself Through it All

Remember that the answer to whatever you're waiting for won't fix you, make you, or change you. As happy as you are right now in the waiting, is relatively similar to the levels of joy you'll feel once the waiting is through. Sit with that for a minute. Maxi McCoy


My lovies, it's been a while. Confessions on the Journey. What a week! It seems that this week's intention was for me to use or recall every single lesson on the Journey.

This week there was a break in where I live and that alone brought it's own feelings, following on from that the perpetrators cleaned out my bank account and Friday was my last day at one of the places I work, then to add on the list, my aunt died while giving birth.. All at once I had to face myself and face the feelings associated with all of these events.

After getting over the initial shock, I knew I had to feel all of the feelings, I had to process my own life which was giving me stories and signs, I had to take stock. 

What I did learn during this week is:

1. I have wonderful friends and support. It has always been a challenge for me to ask for support, I did not even have to ask!

2. Things can be replaced, people cannot - pay attention to the things that matter

3. There are people out here who are sometimes desperate and do desperate things, not everyone is on the path of awareness and transformation.

4. There is no shame in asking for support.

5. Be vigilant when I leave the house.

6. Speak more to my neighbours - connect with humans around you, come out of the social media world and off the laptop - it was stolen so what more of a sign do I need?

7. Worry not and this too shall pass'

8. Sleep a super power- after not being able to sleep much this week I have seen how it affected so much of how I operate in this world,

9. Love yourself through it all - I was so mad at myself for leaving the windows open, for not being vigilant, and the list went on. Why beat up on yourself? learn from it and move on.

It feels good to use situations as guides!

Peace

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

Image
  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
