Oprah’s Life Class – OWN

Goldilocks — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:44:41 +0000

“THE LIGHT IS EVERYWHERE IF YOU LIVE YOUR OWN TRUTH. From - Oprah’s Life Class

This week I’ve been taking Oprah’s Life Class, which I’m thoroughly enjoying. I have a hunger about life. Always trying to figure out how to make my life, my friends and families lives, the lives of everyone I meet, and for that matter the lives of everyone in the world…I want to make them all better, no make that perfect. I want us all to live perfect lives in a perfect world!

I’m not sure how to unscramble what we have already created, but believe if everyone of us lived our truth, comeing from a place of love, and compassion, that it would work out for the greater good of us all. If we lived free of our egos by not worrying about outcomes or judgements, we would receive what we ultimately want – peace, joy, harmony, and freedom to pursue what our soul is calling us to do. I believe that the world would function perfectly, yes, I said it,…perfectly. LOL yes, that’s my perfect world scenario.

Since, however, we live in a world where everyone doesn’t believe, the best we can do, is be our best. Follow your passion, live your dream, remind yourself to live from a place of love for yourself and for others. Keep yourself/ego in check – I mean,…what is more valuable, the shiny new car, or spending time with your love ones. Spread Love, how valuable is that! Then we will be living our own perfect lives, and I have hope, that in time, it will spread all over the world – where we will all live in the light.

It’s a Wonderful World – Dreams Really Do Come True

Goldilocks — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:40:49 +0000

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you’ll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can’t I?

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more
Than we’ll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you’ll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can’t I? E. Y. Harburg

Today I saw a rainbow. It’s a great reminder of hope, and love, and dreams…

Dare to dream and see the beauty in all things. It is a wonderful world, and dreams really do come true.

I LOVE rainy days…

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I’m taking a few days off to relax and rejuvenate. I’m on the East Coast of Florida… and it’s raining. When you take a trip to the beach you think of days and days of sunshine – bright – happy, fun, sun filled days. Then the unexpected rain storm comes, with a forecast of showers for the next five days. Panic or sadness may start to set in, because its not what you expected – life it like that, disappointed in not getting what you want. The reality is, that what you have instead, may be better, or at least, a different kind of good. For instance, on this rainy day at the beach; I didn’t have to worry about getting a sun burn. I walked endlessly without ever becoming over heated. And, the beach seemed to be my own private sanctuary, in an area of towering buildings.

On this walk, in the quiet of my own private beach I tilted my face to the sky, and drank in a deep breath of fresh saltwater air. I took a moment to feel the tiny drops of cool rain. I felt so alive, calm, peaceful, and yet invigorated by the moment. It was just the result I was hoping for, from my time on the beach.

“I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness.” ~Adeline Knapp

Every day has its beauty – find the loveliness of your world…

Moments in Time

Goldilocks — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:43:25 +0000

“I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dripped it carelessly, Ah! I didn’t know, I held opportunity.” Hazel Lee

Beautiful quote but…,Forget about it… Move on… were wasting time! The possibility is always here that the day that lies before us, absolutely anything may happen. Do what you want to do. Do what you love to do… live fully the life that you create. If you’ve missed an opportunity, create another one.

Enjoy every moment now!

Finding Happiness In Every Situation

Goldilocks — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 16:02:24 +0000

Today TOMS shoes is asking people to go one day without shoes to spread the awareness of the impact of a pair of shoes on a persons life. For those of you who don’t know, TOMS donates one pair of shoes for every pair purchased to children in need around the world. (Thank you TOMS for what you do!)

I was on my Twitter account when the following question came from TOMS

TOMSshoes Tell us how your barefoot day is going! What have u realized is #hardwithoutshoes?

My response was instant

GoldilocksBlog @TOMSshoes My feet are cold…

I caught myself instantly, which inspired this blog. My response should have been – My feet are cold…, but I’m grateful for the many shoes in my closet.

Our ultimate goal in living our perfect lives is to be happy. So shouldn’t we look for happiness in every situation. Don’t we usually find what we are looking for?

Failure gets a bad rap!

Goldilocks — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:15:02 +0000

Why are we afraid of failure, and why don’t we think of failure as positive? Didn’t Thomas Edison say “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Isn’t failure our greatest teacher, so shouldn’t it be celebrated? Shouldn’t we celebrate people who have tried and failed, encouraging them to keep going; encouraging them to try a different angle, to look for a different solution, or to completely regroup and to go down a different path, but always…, to keep going!

So let’s look at failure as Thomas Edison does and not be afraid to try something, or get down because something didn’t work – lets celebrate, and look at it as a gift. A gift – of what not to do, and see it as bringing us one step closer to living our perfect lives.

As for me, I am going to consider myself a huge success, because I know a million things - not to do

The Roller Coaster Ride of Contentment!

Goldilocks — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:04:54 +0000

Aristotle says that without desire the world would die of inertia. Eastern Religions believe that our perfect peace comes from wanting nothing, and I believe, in my Golidlocks way, both to be true. As I see it, when we acquire more things, or reach our goals, or find our love, our desires tend to rise at the same time. We seem to always stay at the same level, of wanting more. We have the house and now want the perfect furniture. We have a love, and now we want more time an attention. We have our dream job and now want more recognition. Then when a tragedy strikes like the loss of a job, or loss of property, or loss of a loved one, we plummet emotionally wondering if we will ever rise back up. We work so hard to have more and more, and then we think, if I just didn’t want anything. If I hardened myself to not want the love, or the house – I wouldn’t hurt. So we self protect ourselves into not fully living.

I think our perfect lives come from not only having and reaching for our desires, but to fully appreciate and be content with what we have today. To be content with the journey – the ups and the downs. And, that is the peace of wanting nothing – contentment with what you have right now.

Earth Fare – Doing Things in a Certain Way!

Goldilocks — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 19:10:59 +0000

This morning I wrote on my Twitter account; “today is going to be a great day!” I have been feeling like that a lot lately…, that somehow everything is going to be okay – better than okay! I feel joyful, and I have a sense of peace and calm about me. I am happy that I am creating my life, and I love what I am doing!

I realized that my circumstances should not control me. That I control me, and I am happier and healthier because of it. I stated that today is going to be a great day, and, it is. I woke up early and saw my beautiful daughter, went to “walk and talk” with a friend, started writing, and now – I just won a smoothie from Earth Fare! They are all just simple little things, but they all have brought me joy!

Earth Fare is our local Healthy Supermarket here in, Asheville NC, that has expanded into four states, and now has 17 stores and counting. (Yea – more jobs!) When you walk into an Earth Fare you feel the difference compared to other supermarkets, and you see the difference in their products, in their employees, and in their decor. It’s a sense of quality, cleanliness, and comfort. A place where you might want to hang out at, and actually can. I am new to Twitter and Facebook for that matter, but when Earth Fare posted on the their Twitter account that the next person to respond to them would win a free smoothie, I thought for a split second, “that’s silly”, “I will never win”, “I don’t want to look goofy trying for something and failing”, and, it’s just a smoothie. Then I thought – no this is just fun, and I tweeted back, and won! Imagine what we do with our larger decisions… and look at the good it has done! It has brought me joy, Goldilocks Blog was posted on their Twitter Page and Earth Fare gets a blog post inspired by them. Just by giving me a smoothie, and they are getting back at least double their investment, since this post will forever be out here in cyber world:)

So in my very unusually long and round about way…,my thought for today is this – may be the answer to one of life’s questions is, to just do things in a certain way. To claim the way you want your life. Fun, Happy, with Quality, Cleanliness and Comfort.

Why do we do what we do? What is our purpose?

Goldilocks — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:14:19 +0000

Some things are in our control and others are not. In our control are our thoughts; pursuits, desires, opinions, etc. Which include deciding what our purpose is, and/or, what we want it to be. Also, in our control, are our actions. Do you flip flopping back and forth, second guessing yourselves, trying to make sure that you are making the right decision? Or do you know what your purpose is and where you want to go? Knowing makes the decision easier, by constantly reminding yourselves of the life that you want, then basing your actions from there.
