"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit." - Dawn Markova

The biggest risk is settling for less than you deserve.

What's your frequency level?

How would you tune your frequency levels if you knew that you were attracting occurences based on how you were sending your signals? Are you noticing levels of mediocrity that are settling in and around you? It's not because you're just wandering into those places, but then again, it could be because you haven't really been intentional about where you want to end up or what you truly want.  You are attracting at the level of your own intentional vibration.  If you're happy, happiness can't help but to find you.  If you're sad, miserable and lonely, these are the conditions which you are summoning and the harvest will correspond with what has been sown.
So, now, let's deconstruct the old levels that we've been operating in and program (intentionally) the roadmap for our level of thinking, which, in turn will produce the outcomes for better health, relationships, career choices, etc. You are either consciously or unconsciously making an agreement with the universe and declaring that I Am what I Wish to Attract.......Be intentional about what you want your life to be surrounded by.  Remember that your 'vibration' carries the authority of your intentions! Move to a Higher Frequency level......become aware of your frequency level and make the needed adjustments.

Are you creating space.........

Remember to always create space for what you want. If you honestly want a quality, loving relationship, hanging on to a non-quality relationship does not create the space for the right person to appear. If it is a new career/job, staying somewhere that makes you miserable does not create the space for a new opportunity. If you keep your heart closed, you can be assured that you are not creating space for love and divine guidance to enter. Open up, create space, and receive with gratitude those things which deserve a place in your life-space. It's time to clean house.....create space for the things that you truly want and deserve.

'Rest in Peace' Amy Winehouse

Many have been quick to spew out negative venom regarding 27 year old musical star, Amy Winehouse, who was recently found dead in her London apartment (undetermined cause of death) simply because she struggled with drug addiction. They've decided that she wasn't talented musically and won't be a figure who is celebrated or deeply remembered in the musical world.  I beg to differ.......Rewind 2008 to the Grammy's.....She was nominated in six categories and snagged five wins! The loss was to Herbie Hancock......so, don't waste your time trying to convince me that she wasn't in great company as a Major force in the music industry. She had a great message...a 'keepin' it real in life' message in her songwriting  and she will most assuredly be missed by a throng of devoted fans.  May you 'rest in peace' and may those who have not come to truly listen and appreciate your gift....may they now find time to rewind and 'catch up'................another gone too soon.....Thank You for your gift!

Change requires 'new thinking'.........

 The battle  starts in your mind, not in your behavior. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. If you want to change the way you act, you start by changing the way you think. In addition, if you want to change the way you feel, you must start with the way you think.


You are not what you think you are, but rather, what you think, you are. The battle for bad thoughts and awful behavior, the battle to deal with those defects in your life that you don't like, starts in your mind. If you want to change anything in your behavior or anything in your emotions, you start with your thoughts and your attitude.


As a Man Thinketh, so is he..........

How about some 'Truth for a Change'

Change requires learning the truth. Nothing will change until you get the truth into your heart. As long as you build your life on a foundation of lies, misconceptions, deceptions or half-truths, you will never change. But when you face the truth and respond to the truth, you will begin to see change in your life.

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of to-morrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. --

 Kahlil Gibran, Excerpt from 'The Prophet'

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.  - Brian Tracy

You truly are important

Learn to ignore the words which may have been spoken over your life at some point that were negative. Your Life is Important.  Your appearance, your words, your hands, your gifts, your ideas, your compassion, your laughter, your care.....YOUR LIFE is important to someone or something.

Continue to challenge yourself mentally.  When you learn new things, or even think new thoughts, your brain restructures itself. The more you exercise your brain, the better it performs. To really super charge your brain, take a class in a new language, or in computer programming, or practice learning a musical instrument.

Health Tip of the Day

 Jogging the mind...........
The increased oxygen supply that comes with exercise promotes mental clarity and brain power.
