Rhythm of Life
Seasons and tides remind us of the rhythm of Life. This is the way Life creates. Spirit is forever taking form, then releasing the form it has taken, so it can take a new form. This process is governed by the Infinite Wisdom and Intelligence of the Universe. Relax into the seasons and tides of your life. Your life is your creation and is forever letting go of old forms and taking on new ones. These forms may be patterns of behavior, beliefs, or goals. These forms may be activities at work or at home, or they may be values and what is actively important to you. These forms may be a career, home, relationship, or lifestyle. Whatever is being released or wanting to emerge, remember that the entire Universe is moving through you, as you, in the process. Trust the rhythm. Relax into the flow. The Universe has got your back!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
An intimate relationship is a mirror. To grow yourself into a more healthy relationship turn on your super-power of spiritual double-vision and gaze clear-eyed into the mirror. With one eye see the other person as the spiritual being that they are, on their own path, having their own life. With that eye look with detachment, compassion, and love. With the other eye see the reflection of your own self – the parts you don’t like or your lack of self-worth. With this eye look with a willingness for self-awareness, compassion, and love. Allow the mirror to clearly reveal to you your beauty and your fears without judgment or shame. This will allow you to see the beauty and fears of your beloved. Then the Mirror becomes a window, a portal, into a deeper Love.
Take a break!
American today have less leisure time than our ancestors whether they were hunter-gatherers or working the fields as peasants, serfs or slaves. Americans today have less vacation than most people around the world. Yet study after study shows that long hours and constant connectivity actually decreases productivity, creativity, and the ability to get along with people at work. Americans often don’t even take the little bit of vacation and breaks they are due.
Start today – take a break from “checking in” on email or text. Enjoy the weekend with family and friends. Breathe the air of leisure even if only during a break in the midst of your day. This break is critical to both our psyche and your soul. It also makes room for meditation, introspection, laughter, and moments of peace. Take a break, you deserve it and so do we!
Forgiveness & Compassion
A powerful thought – the criticism you have for others is a reflection of the criticism you have for yourself. The reverse is also true – the criticism you have for yourself is a reflection of how you hold others. The good news is that no matter where you start with compassion and forgiveness, both sides are benefited. Learning to forgive others helps you forgive yourself. Learning to be compassionate with yourself, helps you be compassionate with others. Start wherever you can and know that your whole life, as well as those around you, are lifted because of it.
Should’a – Would’a – Could’a
You have always done the best you could because if you could have done better, you already would have. Mistakes get made, things get forgotten, feelings get hurt. This is true yet it’s certain that you do not do this on purpose. Releasing should’a, would’a, could’a opens a space for you to be compassionate with yourself. Yes, learn, Yes grow. Yes, next time you will remember, do better, or be more thoughtful. Today you’ve done your best. Let it be good enough because you are, in fact, good enough.
Spirituality is Natural Goodness
“God is not a person, God is a Presence personified in us. Spirituality is not a thing; it is the atmosphere of God’s Presence, goodness, truth, and beauty. Religion is a life, a living. If we could forget that philosophy is profound, that religion is spiritual and life serious – all of which may be true – but if we could forget all these things, and approach Reality as normally as we go about our daily affairs, we would be better off.”
Ernest Holmes
Alligators and Swampland
“When you are up to your a** in alligators it’s hard to remember that the initial objective was to drain the swamp.” No matter what you face in your daily life, remember that you are here to express and experience a joy-filled, meaningful life of creativity and contribution. In the process and along the way, everything that isn’t in alignment with this purpose or stands in the way of your beautiful life comes to the surface to be cleared out. Whatever form this clearing takes, remember that it is in service to your great-yet-to-be!
Love your life
Love your life? Love your life! Remember that what you focus on grows. Are you complaining or praising? Are you seeing where your life is good or are you only focusing on what needs to be improved? While holding your vision and intention on your future is important, It is equally as important to notice what is already here. Contentment, satisfaction, and fulfillment come from the praise and gratitude you heap on the now otherwise you are always only living for a future that actually never arrives. So love your life and you will love your life!
Spiritual Sandpaper!
Someone said the other day “My partner and I are like spiritual sandpaper for each other.” What a great way of looking at our differences, our inevitable moments of “huh? you think/feel/want what?” We grow each other wherever we rub together if we are willing to be grown. The joy is not in trying to make the other person over in our own image, but see what is available in every interaction. In these moments we have the opportunity to look within ourselves to see what’s being activated or to be stretched into someplace new or to practice a new way of being, speaking or behaving. Every time some of our edges, projections, false expectations, defenses, and neediness are smoothed over and rubbed off. Spiritual Sandpaper! Are you up for it?
Finding Inspiration
The Infinite Life, Power, and Presence is moving through all of creation. It is the impulse of new ideas, new possibilities, and new growth. This impulse moves through you as intuition. It also moves through the world around you as those words or songs that catch your ear and attention. Open yourself to the inspiration of the Universe and you will attract it out the very ethers of life. This inspiration comes in many serendipitous ways. The very inspiration you are looking for is already looking for you!
TSRW – Celebrating manifestation
You are a co-creator of your life. You have the ability to use your intention, your words, and the Universal Law to manifest success, healing, love, and a meaningful life. Do you notice that the very thing that you planted in the Law of Mind and accepted as your good has come to pass? What do you say, how do you celebrate, when you do notice it! We say TSRW “This S*+T Really Works!” And the more TSRWs you have and notice, the more you create them in your life! So let’s have lots of TSRWs in your life, starting today!
Spiritual Deepening
You are the I AM as you. Shifting your identity from outer labels and descriptions to the inner core of your being takes you to the heart of YOU! There you find a radiant being of love and light, a being that is whole, perfect and complete in its essential nature, regardless of anything on the outside. There are many ways to dive beneath the waves of circumstance and ego into this sacred space – meditation, mindfulness, silence, and spiritual mind treatment, to name a few. Every day that you practice going within, deepens your realization of the Truth of who you are really are. This Truth becomes the ground of your identity, from which a new life grows. Enjoy time every day experiencing who you truly are.
Supportive Self-Talk
Change your self-talk into your biggest cheerleader and drown out all the internal negativity. While your parents did need to teach you something, you don’t need to keep listening to all that internalized criticism o nor do you need to let it keep dragging you down. Pick yourself up with empowering through like, “Yes I can!” and “Watch life flow through me!” and ‘The Universe supports me, and It knows what to do!” These internal habits build new neuropathways and create an entirely different internal environment. While the teaching is “as above, so below” it also reads “as within, so without.” Creating a powerfully positive inner atmosphere can’t help but lift you up and support you each and every day!
Choices and Conditions
Your conditions and circumstances do not define you. No matter where you are in life, at this moment, you can have more, do more, and be more. Look at every condition as an effect. It is not causal in your life unless you let it be. Choose what you focus on. Choose what you talk about. Choose to imagine more than your current condition and focus on the idea that for the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe, all things are possible. Your condition does not define you. Choose to define yourself as an empowered, successful, creator in your own life and watch how the Universe agrees!
