The best things in life are free

To love someone,
Enjoying the sunshine,
Watching the starry sky,
Bonding with your pet,
Being happy with who you are,
Doing a random act of kindness,
Helping others when they are down and assisting them to get back on their feet,
Making a smile brighten another being's day,
Sitting quietly and observing nature,
Walking in nature,
Being still and listening to your angels,
Being in communion with the Divine through everything you do.

A true friend

The world has become one large city and we have friends from all over the world.  Social networking sites have taken the concept of friendship to a new level, there are people with thousands of friends on their friend list and there are those who have just a few friends.

The feminine - balance and harmony

It's Sunday morning, I've been up for more than two hours, and just got a chance to sit down now.  I even had my coffee standing up!!  Not wanting to go into detail and boring everyone; the morning chores, sending my husband off for his cricket having made a hot breakfast and a packed lunch, looking after our pets needs, I finally get to sit down for a little while.

Being happy is not a sin

To be happy is in your nature
It is a state of being and not doing.

We get falsely led to believe that we do not deserve to be happy,
Or maybe that it is not for us,
And when we do feel happy we start feeling guilty because of it.

Do away with and banish such thoughts for they are not true,
You are a being meant to be in a state of happiness, joy, contentment.

The temporary situations that lead us to experience the opposite of these emotions
Are only temporary as they should be
Helping us to realise what it is to be in a state of happiness.

Be in a state of happiness in whatever you experience
Even in pain and disruption be happy that you have the chance to understand, appreciate and know what the state of being happy is.

Have a blessed day

Because we are worthy

Who decides who is worthy and who is not?
Are some of us better or worse than another being?

The way out of sadness

Sadness comes to all of us at sometime or the other
Ignoring it, wont make it go away.
Accepting it and making it your own does not help.

The only way to move out of sadness
Is to acknowledge the reason for the sadness
See if you can change the situation to convert it into a joyful one
And if you can't then accept the situation for what it is
And let go of the emotions that you are attaching with the situation
By saying this does not serve me anymore
And willingly walk the path out of sadness

Laugh as much as you can, it's a sure way to make you feel better
And there will always be something to laugh about.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Beauty - its what you feel that matters

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - such a well known phrase.  But what does it really mean?

I think the most common interpretation of this is when we refer to seeing beauty in another person, and sometimes we can't see why someone sees beauty in another and the only way the 3rd person can explain it is by saying this phrase.

Rest awhile and start again

Feeling tired and weary
The pressures and burdens of life weighing heavy on your shoulders
There is too much to do and you are being pulled in different directions.

Sit down with the angels,
Rest while you take comfort and regain your strength with the loving beings,
Unburden your worries and anxieties,
Share your problems and step back from the midst of all that you are facing.

Resting awhile before you get up and carry on
You will see that you are stronger than before
And you will be able to go much further,
The path is easier.

There is always help and a comforting shoulder to lean on,
You are never alone, you can never be,
The first step is to reach out to share and you will find the person you are looking for,
Waiting in the shadows, waiting patiently for you to step forward.

A problem shared is a problem halved,
And you will move on with greater strength.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Defeat - failure or temporary set back

How do you look at defeat?

Do you take it as a failure and give up or a temporary set back where you take time to recuperate and come back fighting?

We cannot succeed in everything we do, there will be times in our lives when we face defeat in something.  It is part of our life, it is how we react and come out of it that matters more than the actual event that defeated us.

If we say that we are giving up, that it is too difficult for us to try again, then we are accepting failure which is an end in itself.  We are accepting that we are not capable of something and this may be even before we have started on something.  It may be that when we hit the first stumbling block, we think that it's too much for us to handle.  The other extreme is that we keep trying again and again and still find that we do not succeed.  In this case are we being too stubborn and are not allowing ourselves to see that this may not be the path for us?

If we can keep ourselves open to looking at things in a different light, from a different perspective, we can then find a way out of the defeat by shifting our thought process to see things differently and we will be able to come back fighting to make a success or change direction so that we can go on the right path to success.

I believe the key is in being open to accepting that what we see as the right path may not necessarily be true.  The destination may be the same, but we may have to change directions to get there.  And by doing this we are not accepting defeat as a failure, but as a temporary set back from where we can keep going till we reach our final destination.

For if we never try, we will never know where we can reach.

Resolve old issues

It is always easier to push things under the carpet, bury it in denial, or just ignore it hoping the problem will go away.  It may do for a while, but it will always come back till it is resolved.

Be still, silent

Our mind is always active, we are always thinking; thoughts going up and down, left and right, buzzing away, never a dull moment for our mind!

Today is my day

It's a new day
It's a new dawn, a new beginning
It's the next step to the rest of my life.

You be the centre of peace

YOU be the centre of peace
Calm in the midst of turmoil
Strong as the winds howl around you
Peaceful as you are surrounded by chaos.

From this centre of peace
You are the force that can bring calmness to any situation
Filling the situation with Love
And changing negative to positive.

Rest assured that you are where you are meant to be
In a situation that is bringing to you what you need to experience
And in that knowledge move forward and change things for the better.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Expectations

We all have expectations in life - whatever it may be, from people, from situations - it is a part of our daily life.  We already have a preconceived notion or expectation when we do something of how it should work out, or how or what a person should do in return.

Keep moving, keep changing

Change is constant
Moving us in directions that we may have never imagined.

Nothing stays still,
There is motion in everything, change in everything.

We can resist change with all our strength,
But that does not mean that we can stop change.
This only means that we endure suffering because we can't accept change.

Change may be good or it may be bad,
But one certainty with change is that if it is bad one time, then it can only get better the next time.

Like riding a roller coaster with its ups and downs
We move up and down, feeling the excitement and thrill if we allow ourselves to.

Enjoying change is the only way to accept it,
And by accepting change we will be able to deal with it as we should,
Embracing it and making the best of it.

Love the only reality

Love, Love, Love
Love is all there is
We can keep hiding from this for as long as we do,
But it will not make it go away or be untrue.

Love is our essence,
Within and without,
In all creation,
It's what makes everything tick.

Love is everything and nothing at the same time,
Love holds everything within nourishing and giving life to all.

How joyful is it to look at Love in the face,
It's a mind blowing experience - literally blowing off the mind to stare straight at Love

Love is for all to experience, enjoy and live with
No one can be excluded from Love because it is part of who we are.

You are Love, I am Love, We are all Love
One and the same thing
All part of of the same.

Love is all there is.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

We are all equally worthy

When we think of Masters or Teachers or Gurus, they always seem to be someone who has already passed on, or in some rare cases they are here today and held in reverence by all those around.

Life is what you make of it

Life is what you make of it
It can be anything you choose it to be

You can have fun in everything you do
Experiencing life as it should be
For life is a joyful experience and will always be whatever the situation

How we decide to react to Life determines how we experience it.

My personal preference is to sing, play, dance, love through life because that feels much better than being unhappy, miserable and complaining about life all the time.

And having a positive outlook on life is much healthier as well!

Enjoy life for that is what it's meant to be.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Each step takes you to the next

One step is all that it takes.

The final goal, the dream, the place you want to get to is there in the distance and you know you have chosen to reach it.

Happiness is in the present

Happiness is a state of being
It's how we feel that puts us in this state of being.

We find so many reasons why we can't be happy in the present
Always telling ourselves that we will be happy when a particular thing happens
And when it does happen we are happy for a while
And then think of the next thing to happen that will make us happy.

Light and Dark

Light and Dark
One cannot exist without the other
One must experience both to know the other
Without one the other does not have any meaning.

When in the Dark, acknowledge it, accept it and know it for what it is
Remember when you are in Darkness that there is the opposite which is Light
And know that what you are experiencing in the present moment is as it should be
That only by experiencing the Darkness can you know the Light
Most of all know that the Darkness is temporary.

When in the Light, embrace it, accept it and soak in all that the Light has to offer
For when you come into the Light from the Darkness you can appreciate it and know it for what it is
A joyful coming home of all that is and everything being as it should be
You can stay in the Light and rejoice for as long as you choose
Filled with Love for that is what Light is
The experience strong because you have already experienced the opposite
For after the Darkness the Light is much brighter and you are able to appreciate if for all it is.

Till you choose to experience Darkness again so that you don't forget
Till the time you choose to come back to experience the Light again.

And so on it goes - Light and Darkness - both existing together.

Have a blessed day
In love and Light

The Power Within

Be aware
Live conciously
Know your power
Know yourself, who you really are.

Others can walk over you, hurt you or drain you of your positive energies
Only if you let them.

By living unconsciously we are allowing others to do all these things to us
And we wonder why we feel unhappy and sad.

Acknowledge yourself first
As a being of Love created from Love
You are a special being and you have as much right as the next person to experience Love
No one can take that away from you.

Stand up for yourself
Step into yourself
You are perfect just the way you are
Let no one say anything contradictory to that

You control how others treat you
You can only be ill treated if you allow it to happen.
You are in charge of your life, take the reigns and accept your power.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Let go, release and allow the new to come in

Let go, release and make space for better and brighter to come to you.

What does this really mean? How easy is it to let go of something that you hold on to dearly with the faith and hope that things will get better, everything is going to get sorted out, I just need to hold on for a little while longer?

Special You

A unique creation
One of a kind
There can be no one else like you

Every being on earth is here for a reason
We may not have awakened to the reason why we are here
Why we are at a certain place at a certain time when something life changing happens or not

Every minute, every day is for us to experience, feel and connect
And each one of us are on our own personal journey through this
And no one is more important than the other

You are special as is everyone else
And the path you walk is your truth as it is for everyone else

Live your truth
Acknowledge and respect other beings for being on their path
For when each being walks in truth and acknowledges the other for walking in truth
Love will flow through all

And Love is all there is within and without

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Laughter is really the best medicine

We have all experienced laughing till our sides hurt that we had to stop or literally laughing till we slipped off the chair.  If you haven't experienced this, then you have missed out on one of the biggest joys in life.

Laughter and crying are opposite sides of the same coin. We need both in our lives, there is a time for crying and there is a time for joy and laughter.  One cannot live without the other.

But laughter is definitely the much better side, the energy and the feeling of it brings you to a natural high on positive energy and love.  There is a funny side to everything in life and if you can see that, life is always going to be a much better experience.

You will find laughter around you all the time, just waiting for you to see it, acknowledge it and share in it.  Even your thoughts can bring you smiles and laughter, there is just a thin line changing a smile into laughter.

And the best part is that laughter is contagious, it can spread joy and love around you very quickly.

Always find time to laugh, do something spontaneous and funny today to make you laugh like you haven't in a long time and feel the difference in yourself.

Laugh today and everyday and you will begin to see the difference in your life.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

It's what you choose

As we go through life we get so many circumstances thrown at us and sometimes we feel so overwhelmed that we are ready to give up and let the situation control us and get the better of us.  This always seems the easier way out, just giving up because it becomes difficult.

Beyond your limitations

You are what you are
You are what you make yourself to be.

If you define yourself in a certain set of parameters and never step out
Then that is what you will experience.

The vibes you give out

Every thought counts,
Thought becomes word
Word becomes action
Action becomes deed.

Everything is a vibration that ripples out from us,
Outwards touching and affecting every other energy that is around us
All beings are touched including beings that we consider inanimate - they too are living at their own vibrational energy.

The vibration sent out by our deed touches everyone else
As do vibrations from those around us that touches us.

And the vibrations that we give out by our thought, word and deed determines what we attract back to us.
If we give out vibes that are negative because that is what we are thinking and doing,
Then that is what we will get in return.

It all comes back to us and our thought
What we think we become
And that is what we attract to us.

Be the change that you want to attract in your life
And that is what you will get.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the today you dreamt about yesterday.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow are all aspects of the time and space concept of the plane that we live in.  In the Divine realm it is all the same, there is no separate time or space.  Everything is always as it is  and the Divine is All That Is.

So God is in our yesterday, today and tomorrow always and in all ways.  Why spend our time regretting what we did, wishing we could change the things from the past or looking at tomorrow and worrying about what is going to happen and how we are going to deal with all the things that need to be done.

There is no point regretting the past, because you can't go back and change it, accept things as they are; learn from the experience and then keep on with your life in confidence that what you experienced was what you had to, to make you the person you are today.  And don't waste your time fretting and worrying about tomorrow; just know that God is already there taking care of everything that needs to be taken care of.

Enjoy today for what it is, a beautiful time to be in the present moment; to be grateful for all that you had and have in your life; to be thankful for being where you are and the experiences that you have; for appreciating everyone and everything around you; to see the beauty all around; to see opportunities where others may not and act on them to make a success; to live life consciously in the present moment.

For if you live well in the present, you will be able to look back at your yesterdays with happiness and look forward to your tomorrows with anticipation and excitement for what is to come.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light
