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!

The Peace Within – Mental Aerobics

The moments of our lives should be filled with joy, love, peace, and serenity. There are times in my life when this doesn’t come easy, and I have to start doing a little mental aerobics…exercising my mind, to listen within.  Recognizing that events can take you away from positive feelings, it’s important to realize when getting away from a peaceful state, and to learn how to get back to the peace within. 

Mentally I have to tell myself to physically stop, get still, and get centered. I calm myself by breathing deeper and slower, and then make a serious effort to change my thoughts. I do this by looking around for something positive to focus on. Like a laughing child, a flower, or a tree blowing in the breeze. One last deep breath, and I’m back to a state of calm and peace. It can take a moment or a few minutes, but when I do it right, I noticed everything around me, seems to stop and do the same. As if before, everything was on auto pilot and this one action seems to wake everything up, so that we can live with joy, love, and peace within. Life is too short to live any other way.

Bring Yourself Back

We love the Ocean. We love spending days at the beach; swimming, surfing, fishing, or just relaxing while watching the waves. The waves are constantly in motion. They come in and they go back out, they come in and they go back out, it’s a constant ebb and flow in harmony with nature. It’s effortless and therefore relaxing.  The size of the waves however are affected by winds and storms, just as we’re affected by disturbances from time to time. The waves stir up the sand as it meets the shore. As long as the storm is around the ocean remains in this elevated state of turmoil. If, however, you’d jar up that mixture of sand and ocean and took it away from the disturbance, in the stillness, the sand would settle on the bottom and the water on top would be clear.

You can’t control the storms that come your way. Sometimes you need to step away from the crazy, compose yourself, breathe, and gather your own moment of stillness. You have to bring yourself back to a state of love and peace.
