Rite of passage

It's been such a long time since my last blog post. A lot undergone and experienced in the many months that have passed.

I have realised that the path we choose to walk in our lifetime has to be undergone and experienced for what it is - something that we chose to do. We can be unhappy, rave and rant at what we perceive is unfair in our life; live in denial; resist that which we have to learn and accept; resist change; anything and everything to cling on to what we think and feel our life should be. That is a choice we make. And remember, we also have the power to make a different choice.

Make it happen

Life as we know it

It's been a while since I sat down and blogged.  I can think of a lot of different reasons as to why I didn't sit down and pen a few lines, the list goes on.  Looking within, I realise the reason I could not write was because there was so much turmoil within myself that it it was too emotional to actually write coherently.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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
