What is ever normal?

 So today the sun is bright.....really bright. It looks and potentially feels "normal" again, but I know there is no such thing.  The pandemic has allowed me to reconcile with the fact that there is no "normal"...that Life Just is. Life is how we're choosing and responding.  This is not to minimize the atrocities that families have faced and now certainly have to construct a "new normal" for themselves and communities have to rebuild from other calamities. 

So much has been shaking the core of individuals, communities and organizations as of late and we're all coming to terms with what life really is all about.  What is Normal? Is there truly a normal or is each present moment what presents at that time.  Perhaps we've defined normal as what has been acceptable or historical, but today, you can redefine what your Normal becomes.  You can define how normal looks and feels and allow it to change over time.  

Don't box yourself into a status quo.....Soar like an Eagle....Eagles are not normal......Don't be part of the crowd....Stand Out  - Thrive - Allow "normal" to become subjective and recreate what is good, pleasing and acceptable in your sight! What is really ever normal?  You Decide. 

Spread Love: Stay Safe - Practice social distancing - Wash Your Hands - Wear a Mask - Get vaccinated!

This too shall pass

When you find yourself in the midst of a "new normal" you come to recognize that you've been neglecting a few things and taking too much for granted.

Many people are experiencing fear, anxiety, paranoia, panic and loss of self.  Introverts who've relied upon their extrovert friends for balance are now faced with having to go inside and learn to appreciate the full breadth and appreciation of you they truly are as a whole, unique being. This can be a beautiful time, if you receive it as such.

This will pass....in the meantime, take heed to scientific data and accept that this unprecedented time in our history (at least during my lifetime) will pass and that this virus has no respect of person.  It does not discriminate.  It has touched lives across the globe and if you don't learn anything else from this experience, learn that:  Life is fragile.  Take time to check things off the "to do" list....finish that book, put the final (or beginning) touches on that painting, create the short film, compile the research for the idea that's been brewing in your head for weeks, months...years. Make the call to the person whom you've made excuses of "being too busy" for. Learn how to prepare your own healthy meals.

This is the time to be grateful that you have a "wake-up call" to global perspective.  Take nothing for granted....Be Kind.....Be Compassionate....Be Thoughtful....Be Helpful.  This temporary "new normal" can become a life-changing Now Normal that we've all needed to be reminded just how fragile life is.  It's all about Community....Humanity. Time to take internal inventory.

Stay Safe...Wash your hands....strengthen your immunity.


This Too Shall Pass,

Coming to the end for a new beginning

And so....here we are again -The end of another year. For you, it may be the end of a relationship, job, business venture...whatever the case may be, see it as an end making a way for a new beginning.

This time around, don't fret when you reach a bend in the road.  Adjust what needs to be adjusted and keep it moving.  Don't second-guess what the Universe is introducing you to.....go with the Path of least resistance, breathe and see where it takes you. 

Be grateful for each opportunity that presented itself in this past year. Give Thanks for each encounter, victory, so-called failure, because it was part of the assignment. 

Farewell to what has come to an end.....it needed to happen in order for this beautiful new beginning, new page, new chapter, fresh start to beckon you to what is waiting for your arrival. You're ready for this - Flow in your next assignment.

What are you busy accomplishing?

Boy, how time flies.  We're already halfway into a new year.  Are you on track ....accomplishing the goals you set out for the year?  Are you still on task: starting, stopping, sustaining ideals that you identified were necessary for you to be fulfilled?  Now's a great time to take inventory and audit your progress.

Don't throw in the towel if you're a bit behind schedule.  If you've made any progress at all.....Keep Pushing.  It's all about activity....productive, effective motion.  Stay in the race....keep plugging away at it, whether it's starting, stopping or sustaining momentum in a forecasted project.....You will win if you don't quit. So:  What are you busy accomplishing?

Happy New Year - time to participate

Participate in the manifestation of your own miracles this New Year.  Be an active participant in how this year turns out for you.  Don't sit around waiting for things to happen or simply allowing life to happen to you.  Be intentional about outcomes which you wish to see manifest.

This just might be the Year you've been waiting for.  Jump-start it with a healthy attitude and intentional activity and energy for manifestation.  You're in charge - Don't forget that!

Forever through and from you

Don't return still filled with the gift you were meant to share
We long to be graced by the gift of your assignment
Don't withhold what will heal and bless us all
Don't return still filled with the gift you were meant to share.

Whether be it a song, a dance, a rhythm or rhyme
We await and don't judge what you need to share
Be courageous and confident....bold and unapologetic
Don't return still filled with the gift you were meant to share.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Don't take it back
Leave it here
Let it live forever through and from you!

Let it Flow - don't look back

Your inner-being doesn't look back.  Your future doesn't rely upon what was....it is fueled by what you are intentionally allowing.  Don't fan the flames of your momentum by constantly glancing at or focusing on what has already been....you'll stunt the growth of what's blooming.

You inner-being has no desire for looking back.  What has been, was the experience.  Chalk it up as the normal course of life and keep one foot in front of the other....eyes on the prize and continue progressing!

You inner-being is flowing.....Let it progress in life's Flow....let it run free!
