When you trust yourself, you can surrender more

 When you trust yourself, you can surrender more. You can relax and feel the ease you've been craving. Kate Courageous




Hello Hello Hello


November is upon us, we Journey together to Surrender.


To some Surrender may conjure up an image of giving up, trust me lovelies we define surrender is a whole other way.


Surrender in this case is the ability to let go of a situation knowing that you can and will handle it. After you have done the "work", after you have prayed, meditated, journaled, had counselling, therapy and pull out of the tools from the tool box, what do you do?


You let it go. Yes, that is exactly what I said, you let it go, you give it to the Higher Power in faith, trust, courage, patience and love.


Now, this may sound simple, but simple is sometimes not easy.


Humans love to be in control, they love to know what is happening now and next and more than that, we want to look like we have our lives together so what do we do? take actions to control the situation and many times that leads to manipulation, stress, lies, secrets and pain.


When you have done all the work, have patience, have faith, be still and know that you have done your part and its time for the Higher Power to do its part.


When we have made a choice, there are consequences.


Every situation, every condition and every circumstance present in your life today is the consequence of a choice you made or did not make; a thought you held and the words your have or have not spoken. A consequence is what unfolds in relationship to how you do or do not honor your intentions and commitments. It is the result, outcome, effect, ramification and the aftermath of everything you think, feel, say and do. In many cases, you may also face a consequence for what you choose not to do. Your life today is a function of what you did or did not do yesterday.

For November, look at the choices you make, learn from and observe the consequences, do the work and surrender....


Happy Journeys

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
