Stuck In Your World

I have a friend who’s world is so small. They seem stuck physically and emotionally. They’re literally hardening in place, and speaking of how much they don’t like it there. With their job, home, and the people around them. And to know surprise, but to them, everything stays the same.  Years go by and their world seems to be caving in on them, getting smaller and smaller, since they can’t see anything else, or anyway out.

It doesn’t matter how many positive words are spoken to them, or options given to them. In their world nothing can change, and we watch them physically and emotionally grow weaker. So hardened, but wanting something, and still being unable to see the steps to make it happen.

Most of us have had some aspect of this, feeling stuck or trapped, we may pause for a moment but eventually move forward. Knowing that everyday can be different, bringing new and wonderful opportunities.

My advice is, if you see aspects of yourself in this scenario right now, go to a Yoga class. Consider it phase one on your new transformation. Yoga is about bringing you to stillness, a place of inner listening, bringing you to a place of peace. You’ll be healthier, happy, and you”ll  know what move to make next.

Make the changes, just go, and one day you will breathe in, and you’ll breathe a little deeper,  sink a little farther in your stretch, and balance a little longer in the pose. And, the same will begin to happen with your whole life. Changing one thing, changes the whole. Nothing happens overnight, just lots of little steps. Make the effort – just go to a class, even if you don’t really try when your there. But, by being there and moving just ever so slightly, you’ve made progress, and have opened up your world. The key is just to keep going. Eventually you will get to the place you want to be. Whatever that may be, but just keep going, keep moving forward. Make the change, and everything will begin to become clearer. You won’t be hardened any more… Just loose, loose and open to the changes that are coming.

Too Blessed to Be Stressed

Too blessed to be stressed, a quote stolen from a friend, and a 99 year old patient that comes into her office. How blessed we are in this moment. How many things do we have, that we take for granted. How always in hindsight, everything works out for the best. Opportunities come our way, and the ones that we wish would and don’t,.. finding out they were best left alone.  Troubles, clearing a way, so good can come. Having breath, which gives us life, enabling us to experience all that life offers,… if only we take the time; to notice, to be grateful, to feel how truly blessed we are.

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!
