Life is About...

The Pink Dress

The Pink Dress There was this little girl sitting by herself in the park. Everyone passed by her and never stopped to see why she looked so sad. Dressed in a worn pink dress, barefoot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many people passed by her, but no one would stop. The next day I decided to go back to the park in curiosity to see if the little girl would still be there. Yes, she was there, right in the very spot where she was yesterday, and still with the same sad look in her eyes Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl. For as we all know, a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone. As I got closer I could see the back of the little girl's dress. It was grotesquely shaped. I figured that was the reason people just passed by and made no effort to speak to her. Deformities are a low blow to our society and, heaven forbid if you make a step toward assisting someone who is different. As I got closer, the little girl lowered her eyes slightly to avoid my intent stare. As I approached her, I could see the shape of her back more clearly. She was grotesquely shaped in a humped over form. I smiled to let her know it was OK; I was there to help, to talk. I sat down beside her and opened with a simple, 'Hello'. The little girl acted shocked, and stammered a 'Hi '; after a long stare into my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me with a sad face said, 'Because, I'm different...' I immediately said, 'That you are!' and smiled. The little girl acted even sadder and said, 'I know.' 'Little girl,' I said, 'you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent.' She looked at me and smiled, then slowly she got to her feet and said, 'Really?' 'Yes, you're like a little Guardian Angel sent to watch over all the people walking by.' She nodded her head yes, and smiled. With that she opened the back of her pink dress and allowed her wings to spread, then she said 'I am.' 'I'm your Guardian Angel,' with a twinkle in her eye. I was speechless -- sure I was seeing things. She said, 'For once you thought of someone other than yourself. My job here is done'. I got to my feet and said, 'Wait, why did no one stop to help an Angel?' She looked at me, smiled, and said, 'You're the only one that could see me,' and then she was gone. And with that, my life was changed dramatically. So, when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is always watching over you. Like the story says, we all need someone... And, every one of your friends is an Angel in their own way. The value of a friend is measured in the heart. I hope your Guardian Angel watches over you always.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for humans to do. The negative emotions of pain, resentment, grief, anger, disillusionment, and betrayal are a few of the feelings that consume us when we are confronted with the person and / or situation that we can not forgive. Unforgiveness consumes every area of our life, eating away at us, making us bitter, cynical, mistrusting and hard. Unforgiveness can also manifest itself as disease in the body. When you hold unforgiveness you give your power away to the other person or situation. What many do not understand is that forgiving is for you not the other person or situation. Forgiveness is not saying what you did is ok, but rather forgiveness is saying, I know longer allow you to control my life. You are free and I am free. I’m going to give you a couple of examples of forgiveness… From age eight to twelve an uncle abused me. The day he left I was so thankful because I believed the horror was over. Little did I realize the impact the situation had on me. The nightmares began, I developed a major case of Dandruff due to stress, I became more and more introverted, withdrawn and I gained weight. For two decades I protected my uncle by keeping the secret, all the while living in a continual loop of drama that was created by not allowing forgiveness. When you ask for help … help comes. I had the privilege of being selected for a group of adult survivors of childhood abuse. On the second session someone in the group asked what was the purpose of the group. The question was poised to everyone. My mouth began to speak before my brain knew what was happening. The analogy was put forth that each of us was like a house. In our early years we build the foundation and as the years pass we built onto the foundation. Under normal circumstances the house would be build strong and sturdy but when your foundation is cracked and misaligned what you end up with is a house that is shaky and unbalanced. So what we are doing here is tearing down our house right to the core and rebuilding a strong and structurally sound foundation. The leaders of the group were so impressed they used my analogy throughout the whole ten weeks. It was in week eight that I decided I was going to confront my uncle. As we stood face to face I asked my uncle why. Why did you do those things to me as a child. His answer was, because that was where I was. Standing there just looking at him I felt a feeling of pity for him. I forgive you was my verbal response. He held out his hand and at first I thought to myself, no way I’m letting you touch me but instinctively I knew that was the ultimate sign of forgiveness. As I took his hand something powerful happened. I flew into his arms and the two of us stood in an embrace, crying. From depths deep within me I felt a stirring. As this feeling rose I intuitively saw a huge, ugly, black mass of goo. Up, up it came and left out the top of my head. The feeling of lightness, the ability to float came over me. The tears subsided and freedom cocooned me. I was free. Free of my uncle, free of the chains that bound us together, free to move forward and live my life, my way. My second story is about my dad. It was Christmas of 2002. As customary everyone gathered at my parents home and as usual dad was his normal self which consisted of an afternoon and evening of put-downs and jabs about how disappointed he was in how we turned out. As I was sitting at the dinner table I tuned it out and found myself wondering what life would be like without him in it. The truth was, after forty nine years of listening to him I was sick and tired of the critical remarks. Just once in my life it would have been heaven to hear him tell me I did good, words I knew I would never hear. It was at the dinner table that I decided I had, had enough! After dinner was cleaned up and everyone was deciding to go their separate ways I said good-bye to everyone, walked out the door and never looked back. Three months before my dad died my sister convinced me to come back to the family. During those years away I came to the knowledge that my dad was who he was. That criticizing him didn’t make me a better person or improve his disposition. That the person who gives you the most grief on this side, is your bestest friend on the other side. In spite of his harsh tones and his biting jabs he actually thought he was bestowing his wisdom upon you. But it was the knowledge, “He did the best he could do with what he knew and understood.” that allowed me to soften towards him and ultimately forgive him. In the end I told dad I forgave him and also that I forgave myself for my part in it all. In my mind, no human is perfect however, when you learn more and implement your new found knowledge you become a better person. We all have had our cross to bear, forgiveness is our saving grace. As already stated, forgiveness is not saying what you did is ok, but rather forgiveness is saying, I know longer allow you to control my life. You are free and I am free. If at all possible I urge you to spread your wings and forgive the people in your life that have hurt you, and forgive yourself if only for the fact you have been hanging on to it for so long. Free yourself and live happy. Have a Fabulous Weekend

We Are All God's

Twenty years ago I was teaching a class on ‘Knowing Who You Really Are’. It was a spiritual course and different from anything out there. I began by stating that each and every person was a God. Before I could explain any further a woman asked me to repeat what I had just said. When I did, her and two others got up and walked out of the class. Today, I was reading Dr. Wayne Dyer’s new book, “Wishes Fulfilled” and he spent the first three chapters explaining, we are all Gods and it is time that we knew who we really are. It was bitter sweet… I had to laugh. This is what I would like to say, ‘I AM’ is one name of God. When you begin with ‘I AM’ it is a sacred calling and very powerful. Be careful what you follow it up with. For example if you say, “I am angry” the universal will continually give you what you ask for, in this case anger. You carry that feeling around until you decide that you don’t want to be angry any longer. Equally, if you state that you are a certain personally type, “I am a get into your face type of person” that is exactly what you are creating for yourself. Everyone myself included, needs to be more conscious of our speech, both to ourselves and others. Be kind. Here are a few suggestions to help you on your way… I am all powerful (all knowing, unlimited, healed, healthy, kind, generous, financially abundant, etc.) you decide what you wish to bring into your life. Always state it as though it is already part of your life. Here is one given to us by Adamus, better known as Saint Germain… “I AM the conquering Presence! I command this I AM Presence to govern perfectly my mind, home, affairs and world.” Positive talk creates positive energy, creating a more positive outlook and life. Have a Blessed Day!

Let the Magic Begin

Unconditional Love vs True Love

This is an excerpt from my book, “When the Sun Comes Up”...

There are as many concepts of Love as there are people.  Third dimensional love is based on give and take.  One person does the majority of the giving while the other does the taking. One is domineering or aggressive while the other is dutiful or passive. This is also the love that breeds abusive relationships by calling it “Unconditional Love.”  You can hurt me, leave bruises on my body, make me bleed and break my bones.  You can send me to the hospital, call me everything but a human being, and threaten to kill me.  You can take away my dignity, my self-respect and my value.  It does not matter what you do to me because I love you, unconditionally.  I will forgive you, I will hide your violence, I will lie for you, and I will make excuses for your behaviour, because I love you, unconditionally. 

There are those that have found a more balanced love.  I call this a lower fourth dimensional love.  This is when two givers are united together.  The premises of these relationships are mutual respect and honour.  They are kind and considerate and flourish on giving to each other.  This type of relationship is rare but does exist. 

With the spiritual growth of humanity we have now reached a place where “True Love” is coming into play.  True Love is a pure heart essence.  It is the Divine you. It is standing in front of the person you Love and saying, “I love ME so much when I’m with you.”  The premise of True Love is to take the love you have for yourself and give it to the person standing before you, giving without expectation or anticipation of return.  In other words, there is no keeping score.

True Love is more than an emotion.  It is a power, an energy, a vibration, a magnetic and creative energetic.  As you sustain True Love you sustain the ability to live in the fifth dimensional consciousness in ease and flow.  At this level of love and connection with the Creator, you have the ability to totally step out of the third dimensional emotional and mental body and blend with the soul.  As you sustain this level of love it generates into higher consciousness expanding to the next level of perpetual motion being set in motion.

This is a place where our hearts together share a continuous flow of gratitude, respect, kindness, consideration, oneness, all that is pure, and all that is the divine self. 

True Love is the love that God has always had for us.  It is the love that each and every one of has searched for from the beginning of our journeys here on earth.  True Love is here now for those who have risen or chose to rise above the denseness of planet earth.

Have a great weekend!  I’m off to Cobourg, it’s my babies (LOL) birthday on Saturday, he’s going to be 34.

The Simplist Things have the Greatest Impact

Have you ever been asked by someone to choose between ‘A’ or ‘B’?   And, being the ‘nice’ person you are, you threw it back at them and told them to choose?  Well, here is something to consider.  When someone is being ‘nice’ and asks you to choose, they are actually saying, “I honor you.”, “I appreciate you.”, “This is my small way of serving you.”  In accepting their ‘you choose’ gesture you are empowering them, simply by accepting and honoring their gesture!  Furthermore, you are telling your soul that you are, decisive, and standing in your own power, which in turn empowers you.   This is a win-win for both parties.  

When you throw it back at them the opposite occurs.  You make them feel bad about themself by saying you don’t accept their gesture of kindness towards you.  And, you tell your soul that you are not worthy.  

Try an experiment for yourself with a friend or whoever.  Pick two objects (movies, books, treats etc.) and ask the other to choose one and notice the feeling each of you get when the choice is made.  Now do the same experiment again only this time throw the choice back, what is the feeling now? 

It is always the simplest things in life that create the BIGGEST impact.  The next time someone gives you a choice... Think... would you rather empower or deflate?
