Going With the Flow

Open Your Heart
By Mastin Kipp

Open your heart
To LoveTo life
To living in the moment
By allowing what is to be
And what you know to be true
To come forth
Hold the space of Trust
In the best and
The worst circumstances
The circumstances and happenings of your life
Are a great Divine recipe for your Soul's perfection
Do not judge any of it
Accept it, go with it
And change what you want
By changing your thoughts about
How you interpret the comings and goings
See it all as being for you
Even what you think is the worst
A time will come, when you will finally see
The contents of this moment as the biggest Gift
The greatest act of Grace
Open your heart
Trust each moment, see it's perfection
And dive into the intoxicating bliss
Of trusting Love through ALL OF IT

Check Up

I had my annual checkup at the cardiologist today. Even though I am feeling great, why do I still feel so very fragile when I go there? It's like all those emotions of my near death experience come rushing back. I'm hoping I can use this as a reminder of how thankful I am that I'm still here, healthy & happy and, come to think of it, actually my life is better than before.

Transparency

Don't you wish people were this transparent....not literally, but I wish we could all be this real about what we feel on the inside. So often the misunderstandings come from not realizing how someone feels. When you do come across someone who is truly transparent, it is so refreshing!

Yes I Changed My Templete...

I just felt the need for something different. I am one of those people who really likes change. It helps me have a fresh perspective on things. I decided on this templete because of all the green. After visiting west Texas this weekend, it reminded me of how much I love living in the midst of this wonderful greenery! I overheard a conversation on the plane of a lady saying she had grown up in a very dry, dusty location but always felt her soul was crying out for something different. When she was grown she moved to Florida and then she knew that what she needed all the time was to be surrounded by green! I can relate to that!

It's the Little Things That Make Me Happy!

Have you ever noticed how it only takes one little thing to change your perspective on the day for good or bad? I have found that if I surround myself with things that make me happy and appeal to my senses it will brighten my day. It can be something as simple as the scent of my hand soap, which, by the way, is the wonderful Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day in lavendar. To cover all my bases, I think through my normal daily routine and place things within my day that will affect me through sight, sound, touch, taste or smell. It's a little effort to make a big difference in my day!

Removing the Debris

How often do we let the baggage & clutter in our lives weigh us down? We need to release all those thoughts & ideas that hold us back and keep us from being who we really want to be.
"When we let go a little, we will be happy a little.
When we let go a lot, we will be happy a lot.
When we let go completely, we will be free."

Wild West Pictures

We had a great day taking pictures with my sister on Labor Day. She is working on a coffee table book for my parents that is all sepia toned pictures but she didn't have anything of Victoria that looked "western" (she is so NOT the cowgirl). They did pictures in the pasture and at the barn in Minden. Victoria even had a funny experience while sitting on the fence feeding one of the horses grass. The other two horses wanted to see what was up and ended up getting into a biting/kicking match over it. Needless to say, she came flying off the fence!
