As we leap into 2023, what do you want to see?  What do you want to experience?  Where do you want to explore?  What do you want to learn?

These are great questions to ask yourself!

We all are unique beings.  Nobody knows your "true north", and you don't know others true north. This is an inside job!

In 2023, can you commit to 5 minutes each day to check in with yourself and ask yourself:

• How am I feeling?
• What do I want to make sure I accomplish today?
• What one thing can I do today that would bring me joy?

As you develop this internal dialog, more meaningful questions will organically enter into the conversation.

Your SOUL knows its journey....tap into it and allow yourself to be taken places you couldn't imagine!

Before you make your New Years resolution, it's worth evaluating your prior year.

• What did you enjoy in 2022?
• What did you experience, that you wish you'd avoided?
• What lessons did you learn in 2022?
• How have you grown from things that happened in prior years?
• Was there something you were afraid to try, and so you didn't?
• What is a deep dream you would like to experience in 2023?  

Evaluate what you'd like to keep, and what you're ready to let go of.

Life is about experiences and exploration.  About trying, tweaking, and trying again if it's important to you.  It's about growing and sharing.  Ultimately, it's about becoming more of who you came here to be.

Evaluating a few simple questions, can make a world of difference in 2023.  There's more to you than you realizes!

Forgiveness is the gateway to a better quality of life!

Take a look at the chart below:

Notice the difference levels LOW, NEUTRAL and HIGH.

If you find the emotion of FORGIVENESS, you will see that it's at the beginning of all the emotional states we want to live within.

FORGIVENESS is what you must go through in order to reach a higher state of consciousness.

If you're unwilling to forgive, or to let go of people and experiences that have hurt you, then you're depriving yourself of a happy fulfilled life.

How do we forgive?  Who do we forgive?  Forgive Everyone....for Everything!

Consciously or unconsciously, most people were taught to label others....how people are different. Then we judge people accordingly.  Maybe that's a good place to start forgiving.  Forgive those who taught us there's a difference between people with different skin color; different religions; different political beliefs; different cultures....and at the same time, we need to forgive...

Have you ever wondered where you are, or even where are you going?  Well then this blog is for you.  I like to think of this chart as a "Directional Chart" to life.

You know when you enter the doors of your local mall, you come across a Directory?  It list every store in the mall, then it has a dot saying "You Are Here".  That's how I like to use this chart.  At different times in our life...or even in our day, we are in different states of emotions.  I will look at this chart, realize what I'm feeling, and if I'm not in a good place....just like at the mall, I notice where I'd like to be.

Once you know where you are, and then where you'd like to be, you can see the clear path to arrive at your preferred destination.

Most people need to traverse, even if only briefly, through each emotion between where you are and where you want to be.  The exception to this would be someone who is manic-depressive, their emotions can skip around, but for most of...

Most people are living life primarily in the first three charkas, Survival, Sexuality, and Power.

These first few charkas are also known as living in a 3rd dimensional life.  Why would any one chooses to live at a 3-D, rather than enjoying a 4th dimension or even 5th dimension life?  I propose to you that it wasn't actually a choice, but rather some subconscious programing done without our awareness.

If someone have been given fear based traumas, and experienced feelings of "Fight or Flight", then repeated; it causes the Energy Centers to regress into the lower 3 chakra centers.  Think of the movies you have seen, the pattern of the script writing usually revolves around a "hero's journey" which is all around triggering those fears, trauma, and anxieties before a last moment reprieve.  Look at the evening news, multiple fear based triggers are being reported when there are actually more good things happening than bad things. However they bang the drum of fear...

                 Perspective

When we Change the way we look at things....

          The things we look at Change!

There is so much to be Thankful for.  There is abundance in every direction we look, if we look.

Life has a way of running us if we let it.  It's a conscience decision to turn that around, so that we are running our life.

Allowing space for daily Gratitude, is a gift that comes back to us 10 fold.

Gratitude changes our vibration and restores our energy.  Living at a higher frequency has a direct impact on our health, our relationships, as well as our finances and career.  Ever heard of the Law of Attraction?

Gratitude is one of the foundations to living a happy life.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU!

Once you discover something is damaged in your life and needs repair, there's an honest assessment that's needed.

To be able to step back and objectively look at your options.

I actually went through my home being severely damaged due to a fire.  My sister came over, looked at the house and said "What a Tragedy!"  Without a delay I replied, "No, it's not a tragedy, it's an inconvenience."

I'm not sure if I said that for her, or for me!!  There was so much work ahead of me, so many belongings destroyed, that when I looked at it as a "Tragedy"....I felt my energy depleted; but if it's an "Inconvenience", then I had the energy to deal with the situation.

When dealing with a big change like a sudden fire, your emotions waver back and forth as you find something dear that's now lost....processing the feelings....then return back to gratitude that no one got hurt.  We need to feel our feelings, but then we also need to regain our balance and notice what is still going...

There are times in our lives where we all have had to restore, repair, or put thing back in order.  It could be from a fire in our home, could be from a severe auto accident, or even a trusted relationship that's been damaged.

These occurrences can be a shock to our lives.  Sometimes they can shake us to the core of our being, causing us to question everything we've ever believed.

While this can be challenging, and usually unwelcome; sometimes it can be the very thing we need to propel our life forward.  It might be an opportunity to try somethings new.  To create a new environment to grow and thrive.

Don't stop dreaming, creating and believing!
