Life is ever changing – never look back or forward, it distracts from the now!

New Beginnings – The new year always invites in a fresh start, a time to release old ways and commit to changing our lives with brilliant and beautiful intentions. But change can be hard, even when you want to change, and like me you could be looking at the 12th day of the new year and just now are getting to one of your intentions. One of the brilliant things about life is that we learn and grow in a multitude of dimensions. In my growth as a yoga teacher I’ve realized that life itself is a series of January firsts, so I’m not beating myself up for just starting 12 days in. Consider that this moment, right now, has never been experienced before and will never be experienced again, and as we’re thinking of the moment, it also, has already changed. Think of an hour glass – the top part is filled with the future waiting, the center is life happening now – always moving – ever changing, and the bottom of the glass is filled with the past of what has already happened. Our goal is to always live present, in the flow of life. This awareness of this flow of experience allows us to experience life with a deeper awareness and with a deeper gratitude toward life. With every fiber of our being, we now have time since we’re not thinking about the past or future, but time to really welcome the scent of dark coffee; the smell of the salt in the ocean air as our feet root and dig down into the warm sand below, we can feel every grain. And we notice that behind the smile of a child – is love. We notice the beauty of a flower as we walk by, and the truly taste the food, of perfect home cooked meal. And, at any moment we can decide that now’s the time to try. Never look forward, they’re too many factors that are beyond our control. Too many variables for us to even consider or worry about. Our job is to move forward with faith. Our job is live in the present moment, and do what we can do right now in this moment with integrity. And, never look back at why we didn’t try earlier, or why we got to where we are, it doesn’t really matter now at this moment, we cant undo what was already done. We are where we are, and this moment, is our new beginning.

It Works,…New Beginnings!

I’ve received everything that I declared when I started my blog almost three years ago! Including a love that will last a life time. We had the most perfect wedding with our children and parents and it turned out exactly as we had imagined. The weather was a perfect sixty eight degree sun shiny day on the beach. The winds blew lightly. Our younger daughters lined the path, in the natural sand dunes filled with sea grass, with simple, but beautiful colorful flowers that sat in clear bottles tied to wooden sticks. A harp was played softly that blended beautifully with the sounds of the ocean. Mike’s children and grand children walked out with him, with black suits and hot pink vest chosen by our youngest son, and I was escorted by my son and daughter. The ceremony was perfect as we spoke our words, and choked back tears of happiness. After we took a walk barefoot along the beach, and we went to our white tent where we had amazing food and wine.  The tent glowed with with white lights and a few sheer white panels of fabric that blew slightly with the breeze.  The table was set by our mothers. White linen table cloths with faded purple linen napkins and pink and white dishes, candles, flowers, antique mismatched silver plated silverware, and antique crystal wine glasses etched with flowers. Music was provide by one of our son’s, that set the mood just right, and as the sun went down, the night cooled, and another son took charge of the bonfire. Young and old sat around the fire with laughter and family love. Unexpectedly people stopped in front of us on the beach and released three or four paper hot air balloons and we watched the glow of the light flicker off over the ocean.  It was something I had wanted to do, but did not get around to doing.  I received the wedding I wanted. I received the man that I wanted. And, I’m looking forward to reliving it again in the professional photos that our oldest daughter and her man took. And, if there anything like their other wedding photos taken, they too will be perfect.

Now however, it’s time to set the intention for more new beginnings. To speak for the life that I want to continue to receive, and to receive more of the life that I want to have.

Some think it’s silly, some say it’s woo woo, I say… it works!  I said in the first declaration “about me” that if I was going to dream, I might as well dream big.  So that’s what I’m going to continue to do.  If I’m going to create my future,…I might as well make it be the best that I desire.  I encourage you to do the same. Live YOUR Just Right Life!

This new year, or new day, or new moment is as good as time as any to start. I’m going to wake up every morning and look in the mirror and say; Good Morning Beautiful! I’m So Blessed that my family and myself are Healthy, Prosperous, and live a life at Peace. Today is going to be another Great Day!  Opportunities always come my way – Life keeps unfolding in a better than imagined way, and everyday gets better and better. Thank you! Thank you! ….Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
