Faith makes it possible....

Be Bold enough to Believe in limitless possibilities! - Be Courageous enough to take the first step and keep moving in the direction of your passion. Having Faith doesn't mean challenges won't appear, but your steadfast belief in achieving the goal will push you to the finish line. Never Give Up.....Keep the Faith...Believe/Achieve!

If you want it bad enough, you will not lose sight of the goal.  If you have passion for the object, you will find a way, make a way and see it through.  Don't think that challenges, discouraging thoughts or negative factors won't arise on the way to your destination, but as long as you Keep the Faith and Believe that it is possible, you will succeed. Believe to Achieve and you will Receive!

This too, shall pass

It shall pass
It will not last
It comes and
It goes
and it passes




All trials
and tribulations
Good times
and bad, they
come and go
and pass

Even the birds
in the rain
know that it doesn't last
for they too,
recognize that it passes.

The heartache,
the pain
The successes
and whatever drains
it comes and
it goes
and it passes.

Do what you're dreaming of,
what you heart aches for
because this life
will pass
Yes....this too shall pass.

Let your voice be heard

 Your voice....Your Vote. During an election, your vote becomes your voice, your choice, your.....Decision. Make it count and encourage someone else to speak out and take a stand for what is important to the future of this country.  Rock the Vote.

If you're a registered voter and you are choosing not to vote in this election, shame on you! It wasn't that long along that many citizens were denied the opportunity to have a voice in an election, women were silenced and many fought and died so that today, voices could be heard and included in the decisions for the direction of this nation.

Set aside whatever differences you may have and voice your opinions at the polls, in the booths.....but whatever your decision, start out by getting out to VOTE.......let your voice be heard.....it does count! VOTE!

Your Unique Life

Your life is unique in the universe. Don't deny others the joy of your true identity. You are successful when you are being your true, beautiful self. Bring truth and all the gifts to the table that you are endowed with. Express the love, laughter, joy and peace that is the make-up of you and allow others to bask in the comfort of who you truly are. Never compare yourself with others, because you send the message that you aren't happy with who you are. By being you, you allow others the freedom to lighten up and be themselves. Give your Best.....Be Your Best, today and Always! YOU are unique and special. Celebrate what you bring to the planet, that no other being can duplicate. Only you can deliver you and your unique qualities......Go ahead....Showcase and Celebrate You!

Trusting Intuition

Your intuition/soul is the home where every answer lies. Even before you seek counsel or advice from the world, YOU already have the answer. You might not be trusting what the deepest part of you is delivering, but if you truly believe your story and you honestly believe in yourself and have 'Faith' the way you claim that you do.....then TRUST YOUR INTUITION...... it is the truest part of anything about you.

 Many people recognize already that this is where the God-source of you lies. This is where the universe guides and supports your journey. Don't hesitate.....don't doubt......Trust and you won't have multiple occasions in hindsight to say "I knew it....I knew it....I felt it....but....." - Don't underestimate the power and truth of your gut / intuition.....Flow in it....be guided by it....Listen and Wait! (keep in mind, I'm not referring to hunches....but intuition.....a place where you've evolved to listening and hearing within) - Peace and Love on the journey!

Rise to the occasion of Gratitude

Rise to the occasion of being content with the things that life affords you.  Learn to accept what simply can't change and be grateful each day for the most basic of needs being met.  There are people all over this world, who live without basic necessities and yet, some people who have more than enough,  have the audacity to still complain about their wants, not necessarily their needs. Empathy can help us appreciate those who are less fortunate, and life has a way of humbling us if we're not careful.

Adopt an attitude of gratitude and learn to be grateful and content in all situations.  It could be worse, but that option isn't always considered, but mostly taken for granted.  To rise to a new day's dawning is an opportunity to give thanks.  To be able to breathe and have food to eat and clothes to wear is an opportunity to be grateful.  Thanksgiving and Gratitude is the ticket to receiving more in abundance.

When you are content with the things that you have, you will be amazed at the sweetest of unexpected blessings and gifts that will arise on the horizon.  Right now is a good time to "Give Thanks."

For some, Columbus Day is celebrated. For others....

 "Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken the people flourished. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our tepees were round like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation's hoop." - Black Elk

The beauty of acceptance

Cultivate the peace that lies within. Begin to accept the things in this life that will not change. Accept people as they are and you will relieve yourself of undue suffering. Live in the presence of each moment and see things as they truly are. There are occasions when you have the absolute power to change things....but when things cannot and should not be changed, Accept them and relieve yourself of undue suffering. Needless suffering is sometimes unconscious....but once you come to the realization, that it can't be changed.....there is no need to suffer, "If" you choose consciously, to Accept! The greatest gift that you can give yourself and others is to love and accept unconditionally! 

Finish what you've started

Welcome to a brand new month....the month of October.  I'm beginning to notice changes in the leaves outside of my window and there's an atmosphere of change in the air. This is the perfect time of the year to uncover those ideas that you tucked away during the busy summer season. It's a time to revamp your plans, be it business, relational, health...whatever needs to be fine-tuned in your life. Now is the perfect time to consider needed changes.

Time is not waiting for anyone.  It's already the last quarter of the year.  Have you crossed off much on your 'To Do' list for the year? Did you keep any of the resolutions for 2012? You still have time to regroup, recharge and push a bit harder, go a little further..... just keep pressing!

Plan how this year will end during this final quarter.  Write it down, make it plain.  Embrace an accountability partner to hold you to your dreams and aspirations; someone who is not likely to let you off the hook, but someone who will encourage and inspire you along the way, because they too, believe in you. Believe that it can be achieved and take the necessary steps to move you in the direction of actionable progress.

Give it your best shot! It's a new season....time for change. Finish what you've started......Begin what you've envisioned.
