THERE WILL BE DAYS

There will be days my friend,
When you feel like you just can’t go on.
Just keep swimming.
Breathe in and breathe out and wait for the light of a new day to dawn.

There will be days, my friend....
When nothing seems to be making sense.
It’s not supposed to.
Clear your mind and open your heart, the answers will come in time.

There will be days, my friend...
When the pain rises up and engulfs you.
Be kind to yourself.
Lay low and let the tears flow like a river, release, open the floodgates, let it out.

There will be days my friend...
When it feels like the whole world is against you. When it feels like you cannot do right for doing wrong.
Just sit it out.
Tomorrow is a new day and these feelings will pass. I promise.

You see, life is all things, from one day to the next.
It is beautiful at times, wondrous, amazing and joyful - then it is awful, miserable and heart-breaking.
And the cycle goes around.
It is as it should be.
Everything is as it should be and you, you will be okay.
Have faith.
Keep hope in your heart.
Tomorrow is a new day.

The Soil of Her Soul Has Been Tilled
She does not need anyone to help her transcend her pain.
Her pain is hers to heal.
She is the only one who can choose when she is ready to travel deep down inside and harness her medicine.
She doesn’t need anyone to tell her that she needs to release her past.
Her past is hers to own.
Her past is a landscape that is only hers. And only she can decide the meaning she gives to all her life’s experiences.
She doesn’t need anyone to transmit wisdom to her.
She is her own guru.
Her own sage.
Her wisdom has been gathered through the ages and her Soul knows what she needs.
She has full access to the fountain of Collective Intelligence where she can quench her thirst of knowledge.
She doesn’t need anyone to tell her who she is.
She just has to remember.
Commune with her ancestors and ask them where she is coming from.
Ask her ancestors about the struggles of her great great grandmothers.
Thank them for paving the way to have the opportunity to shine her light.
She stands on the shoulders of giants and this truth brings her to the values that guide her life.
She doesn’t need anyone to sort her feelings.
She is not mentally ill.
She is not a statistic that needs to be labeled and medicated. Instead, she tells the world that she owns her feelings and emotions.
They are not to be discarded and rejected.
Her feelings are guiding posts that lead her to her truth.
To what needs her attention.
She doesn’t need anyone to tell her that her unhappiness and sadness can be fixed with a pill.
She rejects the status quo.
The mainstream understanding of what it means to be human.
A feeling human. Instead, she follows the threads of her story and goes to the source of unease in her life.
She doesn’t allow herself to be defined by what they call “anxiety”.
She knows that the main source of her feeling restless is perhaps because she allowed life to take her away from living her truth and being true to her values.
She doesn’t need to follow anyone’s vision.
She has been gifted with the ability to dream.
Dream big.
Or not dream at all, if she doesn’t want to.
When she is ready, the Universe will open the gates of desire to share her vision of the world and her Soul will guide her to her mission.
She doesn’t need anyone to plant the seed of creativity.
She is her own teacher that just has to touch the seed that was planted in her at birth.
All she has to do is allow it to wake up, to sprout, and to grow.
She has within the rain and the sunshine the seeds needs to blossom.
She doesn’t need to pray harder. Meditate more.
Speak in tongues. Or deprive herself of nourishment.
What she needs is to believe that she is enough.
She is worthy.
She is ready.
She is loved.
She doesn’t need to give her power away anymore.
What she needs is to stand in her own truth.
Discover her own truth.
Dig deep.
Ask questions and wait for the answers to come from within.
And as she inquires within, she understands that she lives inside her inner world.
Yes, she walks among humankind, but in truth, she lives within the landscape of her own feelings and emotions.
She now knows that there is nothing outside of herself that can add anything to who she is.
Who she really is, is already there.
Who she is becoming is already there.
And she is the only one that has full access to her story, her truth, her values, her mission and vision…
Her Holy Calling is waiting patiently for her to be ready… Ready to step in her own power… ready to reframe her wounds…
Ready to give a new meaning to her story of survival… her story of resilience…
Her story of how adversity forged her… her gifts, her talents, her inner treasures, her medicine she is called to offer the world...
The Soil of Her Soul has been tilled...
She is ready to LIVE HER TRUTH and LIVE IT FULLY...
She is now on a mission to ENNOBLE HUMNITY with all that she is, with her gifts and talents, with her VOICE...
And she is no longer holding back...

Channeling Pain Into Compassionate Service

Channeling your pain into helping others spreads a tide of curative energy throughout the world.

Pain is a fact of being and one that permeates all of our lives to some degree. Since the hurt we feel may be a part of the experiences that have touched us most deeply, we are often loathe to let it go. It is frequently easier to keep our pain at our sides, where it acts as a shield that shelters us from others and gives us an identity -- that of victim -- from which we can draw bitter strength. However, pain’s universality can also empower us to use our hurt to help others heal. Since no pain is any greater or more profound than any other, what you feel can give you the ability to help bring about the recovery of individuals whose hurts are both similar to and vastly different from your own. You can channel your pain into transformative and healing love that aids you in helping individuals on a one-to-one basis and spreading a tide of curative energy throughout the world.

The capacity to heal others evolves naturally within those who are ready to disassociate themselves from their identity as victims. In fact, the simple decision to put aside the pain we have carried is what grants us the strength to redeem that pain through service. There are many ways to use the hurt you feel to help others. Your pain gives you a unique insight into the minds of people who have experienced trauma and heartache. You can draw from the wellspring of strength that allowed you to emerge on the other side of a painful experience and pass that strength to individuals still suffering from their wounds. You may be able to council individuals in need by showing them the coping methods that have helped you survive or simply by offering sympathy. A kinship can develop that allows you to relate more closely with those you are trying to aid and comfort.

Helping others can be a restorative experience that makes your own heart grow stronger. In channeling your pain into compassionate service and watching others successfully recover, you may feel a sense of euphoria that leads to increased feelings of self-worth and optimism. Your courageous decision to reach out to others can be the best way to declare to yourself and the world that your pain didn’t defeat you, and in fact it helped you heal.

Absolutely true. ❤️❤️

What Does Being Spiritual Look Like?

Your spirit is asking you to look deeper in your search for what you want.

The idea that we have to suffer or live in poverty in order to be spiritual is an old one and can be found in the belief systems of many philosophies. Most of us carry this idea around subconsciously, and we may be holding ourselves back from financial or emotional well-being, believing that this is what we must do in order to be virtuous, spiritually awake, or feel less guilty for the suffering of others.

While it’s true that there can be a spiritual purpose to experiencing a lack of material well-being, it is rarely intended to be a permanent or lifelong experience. What we are meant to find when material or emotional resources are in short supply is that there is more to our lives than the physical realm. Intense relationships and material abundance can distract us from the subtler realm of the spirit, so a time of deficiency can be spiritually awakening. However, once we recognize the realm of spirit, and remember to hold it at the center of our lives, there is no reason to dwell in poverty or emotional isolation. In fact, once our connection to spirit is fully intact, we feel so compelled to share our abundance that lack becomes a thing of the past.

If you find that you are experiencing suffering in some area of your physical life, perhaps your spirit is asking you to look deeper in your search for what you want. For example, if you want money so that you can experience the feeling of security but money keeps eluding you, your spirit may be asking you to understand that security is not to be found through money. Security comes from an unshakable connection to your soul. Once you make that connection, money will probably flow more easily into your life. If relationships elude you, your spirit may be calling you to recognize that the love you seek is not to be found in another person. And yet, ironically, once you find the love, your true love may very well appear. If you feel stuck in suffering to live a spiritual life, try to spend some time writing about it. The root of the problem will appear and it may not be what you expected. Remember, the Universe wants you to be happy.

“Before I was six years old, my grandparents and my mother had taught me that if all the green things that grow were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the four-legged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the winged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all our relatives who crawl and swim and live within the earth were taken away, there could be no life. But if all the human beings were taken away, life on earth would flourish. That is how insignificant we are.”
Russell Means, Oglala Lakota Nation (November 10, 1939 – October 22, 2012).

TO THE women WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY...

To the women who has lost their spark.
To the people whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.

This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.

Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.

And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.

It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.

Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.

So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.

It’s really pretty simple.

Donna Ashwoth words.

Making Conscious Decisions

Our lives belong to us, and so do our decisions.

Just because an idea or way of doing things is popular doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. However, part of the way that something becomes popular is that many of us don’t take the time to determine what’s right for us; we simply do what most of the people we know are doing. In this way, our decisions about life are made by default, which means they aren’t what we call conscious decisions. There may be many other options available, but we don’t always take the time to explore them. This may be the result of feeling overwhelmed or pressured by family, peers, and humanity at large, to do things their way, the way things have always been done. Regardless of the cause, it is important that, as often as we can, we decide for ourselves what to do with our lives rather than just drift along on the current of popular opinion.

It is not always easy to make decisions that go against the grain. Many people feel threatened when those close to them make choices divergent from the ones they are making. Parents and grandparents may be confused and defensive when we choose to raise our children differently from the way they raised us. Friends may feel abandoned if we decide to change our habits or behavior. Meanwhile, on our side of the fence, it’s easy to feel frustrated and defensive when we feel unsupported and misunderstood simply because we are thinking for ourselves. It can be exhausting to have to explain and re-explain our points of view and our reasons.

This is where gentleness, openness, and tolerance come into play. It helps if we are calmly persistent, consistent, and clear as we communicate to those around us why we are making the choices we are making. At the same time, we have the right to say that we are tired of talking about it and simply need our choices to be respected. Our lives belong to us and so do our decisions. Those who truly love us will stand by us and support our choices, never mind what’s popular.

Life is short. You don't get a do over in this life time. Kiss who you want to kiss, love who you need to love, tell anyone who disrespects you to move on. Let your heart lead you where it wants to. Don't ever make a decision based on fear. In fact, if it scares you, that's the thing you should run fastest toward, because that's where real life is. In the scary parts,. In the messy parts. In the parts that aren't so pretty. Dive in and take a swim in all the pain and beauty that life has to offer, so that at the end of it, you don't have any regrets. Our obligation for receiving the miraculous gift of life is to truly, fully live it.
