<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes, even though I am sitting in my home, surrounded
by my loved ones, I get this deep melancholy feeling of wanting, needing to go
home; a profound sense of homesickness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
feeling has come to me time and time again ever since I can remember.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes it lasts for days or weeks, other
times only for a day or even a few hours.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This used to really perplex me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can one be so homesick while sitting at
home?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I have grown spiritually, I
believe I now know what this is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
this homesickness that I am currently feeling is…what is at its roots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I choose to believe that it is my divine
inner being, my true self, longing for the connectivity to the great oneness
that I had before I choose to experience it through this human experience,
through this body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a spiritual seeker, I know that I am divine, complete and
whole in my divinity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that YOU
are, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
we chose to have this human experience we each chose to experience it in its
own way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all are the light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We connect to others, in a real and
meaningful way, when we allow others to see our light in its full glory and it
is reciprocated by the other person also allowing us to see their light in all
its magnificence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As humans, though, we tend to dim our lights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let me use this analogy:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our true selves are here in physical form,
choosing to use this body to go through life, much like getting in a car to
drive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The car is our body and divine
selves the drivers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As we take on roles and we step into others expectations of
what we should be, sometimes we put up a layer of tint on our windshields,
dimming our light to others to fit into their expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have put up tint when conforming to the
expectations that I perceive others to have of me when I step into the role of
employee, another when stepping into the role of wife, another for being a
mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a coach… layers and layers of tint that
I have put up, shielding others from my true light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But it doesn’t stop there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Those were the ways that I put up barriers to you seeing my light from
the inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the outside, others
have thrown things that I have let stick to my windshield like bugs that met
their untimely demise by splattering all over my windshield.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those words that others have spoken that I
have allowed to stay in my vision – “You’d be so pretty if you lost a little
weight.” or “I’m sorry, we don’t feel like you are a good fit for this
position.” or any of the things that people might say (or my perception of what
was meant by some off-handed comment) that I allowed to stay with me and block
both your view of my light and my vision of yours.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, my feeling of melancholy, of being homesick, is because
I have not only blocked your view of my inner light, it makes it harder for me
to see yours and to have that divine connection that we are truly one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My guess is that your windshield may have
layers of tint and bug guts, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
makes it just that much harder to connect, as we are both looking out of ever
increasing dark tint and layers of bugs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am getting ready to go on a getaway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a call asking us to set our intentions
for the trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been in this state
of homesickness for a few days and what instantly came up for me was that I
wanted to make a connection, a deep and meaningful connection with
someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So this retreat, for me, will of course be pulling my car
into the station and filling up my soul, but it will also be taking the time to
remove layers and layers of tint from my windshield and using that little
squeegee with the netted foam to clean off the bugs and walk away letting my
little light shine. <br />
<br />
I hope that you have the opportunity to do the same and we can all “Let it
shine, let it shine, let it shine!”</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
I
get this from time to time. Someone insists that I can't be "that
happy" all the time. It is rarely said to me directly, but I hear about
it.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
Well,
for the doubters, you are correct. I am not perfectly happy and joyful
all the time. Things happen that aren't in my perfect plan, things
happen that may seem bad on the surface. Here is the secret, though, to
my joyous demeanor: when those things happen, I don't dwell on them.
If I do think about them, I search for what is right with the
situation. This leads me to be happy and joyous most of the time. I
try to refrain from complaining because what I complain about, I am
giving my attention to. What I give my attention to, I bring into my
life. If I want to continue to be happy, I give my attention to happy
thoughts.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
Now,
I understand that many think this is just a bunch of woo woo new agey
hoo haw. I get that. I used to think that, too. But there is science
behind it. You can change the story that you tell yourself and in doing
so, you change the way your brain's synapses fire. Changing the way
your synapses fire change your brain. Changing your brain changes your being.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
Our
bodies are amazing creations, and the brain is quite possibly the
single most interesting thing that I have ever endeavored to study.<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
Don't
take my word for it, check out the video of Dr. Joe Dispenza's talk at
TedxTacoma. It is amazing and gives you a scientific explanation of the
reason that I can be happy and joyous most of the time. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">
It
IS a practice, though. You learn the information, you put it into
practice by acting on the information that you have learned, and
eventually it is just part of your being. It is who you are. You have
changed your brain!</div>

I bet you have heard that before. It stands with the conventional wisdom of goalsetting. Set your goal, don't let anything stand in your way, keep your eyes on the prize and in the end, you will accomplish great things.<br />
<br />
I know that seems like a tried and true method of getting to be where you want to be, but I would like to suggest something different. Instead of focusing on that goal, lets think about what it would feel like to be there already. What does it feel like? Does it feel good? Do you feel accomplished? Proud? Satisfied? In all reality, that is actually your goal, to have those feelings. The goal isn't the thing or accomplishment, it is the feeling that you get from it.<br />
<br />
What if, then, what if you let go of the outcome and focused on feeling the way you want to feel, right now? If you already feel proud and satisfied and accomplished, then whatever the outcomes of your endeavors is just the icing on the cake. You are then able to let go of the outcomes, of the limitations that you have set for yourself and anything is possible because you are able to allow the most magnificent things to happen. Perhaps it may be the original accomplishment that you had in mind or it may be something even beyond your wildest imagination. <br />
<br />

I believe this is so true. Because I believe this, I surround myself with all kinds of books, CDs, DVDs and other learning tools. These are all important, but the most important learning tool is experience. So, I also try to get in some great experiences. <br />
<br />
My theme for this year is ADVENTURE. I began this year of adventure kind of slow, working my way into adventure. It can be scary. It is stepping past your comfort zone. This weekend I stepped way past my comfort zone. I attended a two day immersion seminar in Denver, Colorado. <br />
<br />
Day one of the seminar concluded with board breaking. I was expecting some little 1/4 inch thick board and wasn't too worried about it. Then they pulled out the boards. These suckers were THICK! But, by golly, I nailed it! I hit that board and it busted in two! Empowering and suprisingly emotional for me. I did have to step out of my comfort zone to do this, not because of the physical aspect of it (although it isn't something that I had ever really thought of doing). I stepped out of my comfort zone because the set up for the physical act took looking at a fear, owning it, getting angry with it and releasing it. Those of you who know me, know that the path that resonates for me is that life is easy and joyful, and this was the exact opposite of that. It is taking something unpleasant out of the box and really examining it. Getting angry with it. Nothing fun or joyful about that! Right. Right? Hmmm...<br />
<br />
Day two of the seminar concluded with firewalking. Okay, so we didn't actually walk through flames, but really hot coals. Really HOT. I was pumped for this. This is why I signed up for this intensive immersion seminar. If I can walk across coals, I can do anything. A N Y T H I N G! And guess what, I did walk across those coals. Blisters? Not a single one! Again, though, the stepping out of my comfort zone, although the physical act absolutely qualified, was the set up to prep for it. Again it had to do with picking up that ugliness out of the box and examining it. YUCK! But the up side, other than the absolute high and wonderful feeling of empowerment, was the incredible focus not on that ugliness that had been tucked away in the box... that was tossed aside, into the fire, but the total focus on what fills that void. What we are replacing that horrible ugly thing with. Hooray. A new intention. A new focus. A new me. A TRANSFORMATION. <br />
<br />
So, does it sound hokey? Yeah. Even as I'm reading what I have typed. Does it feel hokey? No. Not even a little. I feel like a new person. I learned so much. I have new skills, new tools. I have a new appreciation for me. For what I am capable of. <br />
<br />
Life is experiences. One of the speakers said, "If you aren't learning, you are dying." I had heard it before, I had known its truth. I am more clear on the truth in that statement now. If you aren't learning, if you aren't experiencing, you are dying. And it is your choice. Take a chance. Step out of your comfort zone. Have an experience. Do it. Are you living or are you dying?Practice Living Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09386404619011641199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924526293862214495.post-80610404466750085302012-01-20T10:35:00.000-06:002012-01-20T10:35:01.999-06:00Little Things Matter<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I know it is just a crazy little random thing, but sometimes little things make a perfectly bright and wonderful day just a little more perfect and a little more bright and wonderful!<br />
<br />
So, at least twice a week, sometimes more often, I stop by Spangles (a burger chain based in Kansas) before going to work and I almost always get the same thing, a plain bagel, a side of hashbrown nuggets (tater-tots -- yum!) and a large iced tea with extra ice.<br />
<br />
This morning I did that very same thing, just kind of a routine thing. The young lady that was working the drive-thru window greeted me with a huge smile and said, "Are you always so nice?" I was kind of thrown for a loop, but I stammered, "Well, I hope so!", and she said, "Well, it just always makes me smile! Thanks!"<br />
<br />
She turned to get my order and a co-worker looked at her and said, "Did you just ask her if she's always nice?" and she said, "She is, she always is, and it makes me happy." (I don't think I was suppose to hear that part, but I did.)<br />
<br />
ANYWAY, I was thinking, wow, I didn't do anything extraordinary or anything extra kind really, but I WAS courteous and cheerful, which I always try to be. I always try to say please and thank you and be cheerful to everyone including those that are "serving" me (as through the drive-thru). I know you all do that, too, but wow, her saying she appreciated it just MADE MY DAY!! I am sure that not everyone that she interacts with in any given day use those common niceties. So, ladies and gents, just being your BEAUTIFUL, KIND, WONDERFUL selves, YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE to someone! SMILE! The world needs your love!</span>Practice Living Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09386404619011641199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924526293862214495.post-9266793176475735422012-01-19T07:02:00.000-06:002012-01-19T07:02:49.437-06:00Beautiful Seeds of ChangeGood morning and Brightest Blessings!!<br />

Exciting news this morning!! I have been keeping it kind of quiet, but my publisher has given the okay to publicly announce that my book "Beautiful Seeds of Change" is almost ready for release. This is a fabulous multi-author book in which each author tells about something in his or her life that brought about a wonderful change.<br />

<br />
Just wanted to give each of you a virtual hug and send my warmest blessing for the most perfect day. It is said that today has a wonderfully high vibration for creating. That may be so, but I believe EVERY day can have a wonderfully high vibration for creating...but why waste a day when so many people are putting their positive vibrations out in time and space as well! <br />
<br />
So today, I have set my intention to be the best me that I can, to live with love and compassion in all I do and to be open to all of the wonderful things that the universe has in store for me!<br />
<br />
My iPod is playing my positive playlist all day long and I am feeling the groove and the love!<br />
<br />
Love to each and every one of you! May you be blessed beyond belief today!<span class="HOEnZb"><span style="color: #888888;"><br />

They put nuts in narrow necked, heavy bottomed jars. The monkeys, loving the smell of the nuts, and knowing they are in for a yummy treat, will grab the nuts at the bottom of the jar. Due to the narrow neck of the jar, the hand that went in easily won't come out when holding the nuts in their fist. <br />
<br />
The monkeys, not</span><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;"> wanting to lose the tasty treat, will not let go of the nut. They stay there at that jar that is too heavy to lift with their fist clenched around a nut that they will never get to eat. The hunters come around and simply pick up the monkeys that have been sitting there.<br />
<br />
The monkeys could have easily escaped capture if only they had let go of that nut.<br />

It is often easier to let go of judgement of others than to let go of judging yourself, but with practice, you can stop judging yourself as well. There are no "good" feelings or "bad" feelings, only feelings. Allow yourself to feel whatever you feel, acknowledge it and then release it. You are on your way to practicing joy in your daily life.</span></span></h6>Practice Living Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09386404619011641199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924526293862214495.post-20442825698546261412011-06-24T17:04:00.001-05:002011-06-26T07:43:20.552-05:00What a Bright New Beginning!Good day, all!!<br />
<br />
I am so happy to be able to finally realize a dream of mine...sharing how I have been able to find joy and happiness in the present moment, without waiting for that ever elusive event or goal to be met before I can be happy. I'm sure you have done that. "I'll be happy when (I lose that weight) (I have that raise) (I get that house) (insert whatever it is that you are waiting to happen before you are happy)."<br />
<br />
I will be conducting my classes "Practice Living Joy - Life in the Present Moment" at Healing Artz Studio (9 W Ave B, Hutchinson, KS) on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at 6:00pm beginning on July 28th. Topics that will be covered in the classes include (but are not limited to):<br />
<br />
Changing your thoughts<br />
Attitude<br />
Gratitude<br />
Acceptance (lack of resistance)<br />
How words can change your life<br />
Intention<br />
Action<br />
<br />
The classes will be $5/class and I am offering a punch card for ten classes for $45. <br />
<br />
I am also happy to be offering individualized coaching in person locally or by email, phone or skype. Coaching prices will vary depending on the method chosen. Please contact me for more information.Practice Living Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09386404619011641199noreply@blogger.com1
