Blessings

Blessings
Life can be complex, challenging, painful, and relentless at times. Life can also be miraculous, joyful, beautiful, forgiving, and hopeful. It can also be both at the same time.  Life is a roller coaster full of twists, turns, high moments and moments where you feel you are plunging to the ground ... but it's life that is our greatest lesson. Everything that appears in our life, both the wonderful and the painful, are all blessings. Everything that is happening to us and around us is put there to stretch and grow us in ways we couldn't even imagine were possible. The key is that we recognize what the lesson is and learn from it, do things differently, and start being grateful for even those tough times; for it's in those times we learn how to lean in to other people to help get us through or even find a strength within us we didn't know existed.

Blessings are all around.  Be open enough to see them, embrace them, and live taking each lesson with you along the way.  

Pain

Pain
In order to grow the most you must walk through the pain.  Walking through the part of your life that is the most difficult and no longer serving your highest self is the toughest work you will ever do but by far the most eye-opening and soul inspiring work that one can & should do.  Pain teaches us what we are made of.  It shows us the depths of our resolve and strength.  It swings open new possibilities once the old has been closed for good.  As the saying goes, pain is inevitable but suffering is not.  You can choose to look at pain as your greatest teacher and know that when the lesson is done, the pain will lift and be replaced by absolute peace.  Use your pain to grow you, not keep you in a state of torture - that's not what it is meant for.  Stop using excuses not to do the work to walk through the pain.  It is your time to become the master of your sea.

It's Time

It's Time
Today we awake to a brand new year.  We are starring at a brand new slate ... or are we?  How many of us awoke and already decided to pick up the past and hurl it onto our shoulders? How many of us already ran out of patience or spoke to someone who made us upset or even ate something we knew would not make us feel great? That's the thing about a brand new year, it is wide open for us to design, to create and to manifest but we have to be willing, no we MUST make a decision to no longer allow ourselves to do the same old thing but expect a miraculous change. It's time to make courageous decisions in order to create the greatest positive impact on our lives. Did you know...

The year 2017 is 2+0+1+7 which = 10. 1 + 0 = 1 thus this is the year of 1. 

The 1 is a doer, a powerful force that produces results and does not allow anything or anyone to limit its potential. The 1 is aggressive, a necessary energy for creating and producing. The 1 is always in the forefront: a spearpoint directing and leading others. The shape of the number 1, just like the shape of all other symbols, reflects its meaning; it walks upright with pride and purpose. Strong, determined, unwavering and with specific goals in mind, the 1 can turn dreams and ideas into reality. It pushes obstacles aside or simply drills right through them.

Let's all make this our year to finally let go, to change, to release, and to not allow anything around us that does not grow us personally or spiritually. It is time!
