What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

2023 might be over, but your life is still relevant into 2024 and beyond!  So what do you want to do, or become in 2024?

We are all creative.  Many times in our lives, there have been people (knowingly or unknowingly) who squashed or diminished our creativity.  Yes, that happens to all of us.  Let's not count how many times we get knocked down....Let's count how many times we get back up!!

That's were our power is, get up, make a change and get back into the game of life!

I don't know about you, but I've learned much more from things not going right, than when they went right the first time.

Life's a journey.  Let's learn and grow from it!

We Are Creators!

Wherever we put our attention, that is what we are calling forth into our lives.

So, in these days we're currently going through, are we worried about going to war?  Or are we loving the fact that people are standing up for peace?

Are you worried you don't have enough money?  Or are you so happy to have a roof over your head?

It's worth taking a look at the quality of thoughts running through your mind.  Once you fully realize that whatever you're thinking about IS creating your tomorrow, then, chances are you would "re-phase" your words and your emotions.

First we have a thought, then we have "feelings" about that thought.  The stronger our emotions are, the faster we are pulling the "good", or the "bad" into our lives.

Take a Leap Of Faith into this new year.  Think good, happy and loving thoughts.  Then feel strong emotions about those thoughts.

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THE RESULTS!

The Soul's Journey is all about moving forward, or ascending.  It's not about being perfect, it's about being better than we use to be.

It's not a comparison with others, it's a comparison with our self.

When we're living in the 3rd dimensional realm, our predominant emotions we'd be attached to is "Guilt" "Shame" "Fear" and "Anger".

When we're living in the 4th dimensional realm, our predominant emotions we'd be attached to is "Hopeful" "Curiosity" and "Neutrality".  This is where we're willing to be open minded and explore situations and ideas.

When we're living in the 5th dimensional realm, our predominant emotions we'd be attached to is "Forgiveness" "Love" "Patience" and "Peace".

Be aware of what emotions you're feeling.  Are you happy there?  If you are, then keep thinking what you've been thinking.  Being happy is what we're aiming for.

If you're not happy, look at the qualities of the next dimension up, from where you currently see yourself to...

We are in the "Harvest Season".  Many people enjoy a nice bottle of wine at their Thanksgiving table.

What makes good wine?  Some might say the particular grape, some may say the blending of grapes. Others might say the region the grape is grown.  There are some that say the temperature, the sun, or the shade.  Still others argue the time the grapes are picked from the vine.  And in truth, all of these answers are correct.

There are so many factors that go into the perfect time to harvest the grape, so that the wine can blend its natural flavor, for a smooth taste that enhances the dining experience.

No two years are exactly the same.  Some years have more rain than others.  Some years experience varying temperatures, and at different times during the season.  The time to harvest, becomes an custom evaluation each year, throughout different regions.

The same thing is true for you.  You bring a special enhancement of your gifts and...

As the warmth of summer becomes a distant memory, and the crisp air of autumn is present, we are aware we're moving into a new season.

The changing seasons offers new colors in our landscape, and the sound of crunching leaves under our feet.  Our seasons are cyclical, each taking turn to offer its gifts to all those wise enough to learn and grow from the experience of the season.

The wisdom autumn offers is a time of transition and reflection.  This is a time to prepare for a quiet look inwards to gain the deep understanding that things do change, and it's OK as we cycle through our life.  Another word for gaining through change is "growth".

Many people are afraid of change, and try their hardest to prevent it from happening.  But you wouldn't prevent your children from changing as they grow from their experiences....would you?  It isn't always easy to watch your child go through some of the physical and emotional changes, but at the same time you know,...

Setbacks are only temporary.  Many times, growth is attainable only through those temporary setbacks.  As it affords us time to pause and ponder what happened; think through a respectful solution; and put together a well thought-out plan to move forward.

Hope is the eternal flame that burns within each of us.

Don't forget the power of the positivity you bring to this world!!  Your talents or gifts might be different or unconventional, but it's precisely the uniqueness that is entrusted to you, to bring forth into this crazy world at this time.

Embrace your purpose.

The world is inviting you to step out of your comfort zone and into a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.  This is about the very essence of who you are; the energy you bring to every moment.

You are part of the community for change!

First of all....What is the meaning of a secret weapon?

"Something or someone that no one knows about, and that will give you an advantage over your competitors or enemies."

You might argue that everyone knows about LOVE, so how can that be a secret weapon.  You're right, AND THAT'S what makes it even more powerful.

Yes, we know about LOVE, but few realize there are actually invisible frequencies that accompanies all emotions.

When someone is feeling an angry emotion, and another person is feeling a loving emotion; whichever person is feeling their emotion stronger, they will actually neutralize the other person's emotion.

So next time you're in a disagreement with someone you care about.....try this!!

Think about the wonderful qualities this person normally exhibits, remember the good times and caring actions.  Hold that thought....Feeling those feelings grow stronger....then push those feelings from your heart to their heart.  Feel how good that feels, stay with...

It has come out that we live in an "Electromagnetic" world, and that we are electromagnetic in structure.  Past hurts and wounds have an attachment or hold on us, because of our electromagnetic frequency.

If we really want to "un-snag" ourselves from past hurts and wounds, we have to be willing to consciously let go of the past.

The trapeze artist has to be willing to let go of the past bar, in order to grab the current bar.  As they do, they pick up momentum so they can grab the future bar.

What happens if you don't let go?

The momentum starts slowing down and eventually stops.  Then you're just left hanging!

Experience the fullness of life; forgive yourself and others when there are mistakes or miss-perceptions.  Forgiveness is a powerful ability that is highly under used.  The other person involved doesn't even need to know forgiveness is being activated.  This really is a gift you give to yourself more than a gift for others...even though others...

Sometimes life hurts!

Lessons are here for us to learn and grow from. We need to find our own way in life.  Sometimes we rely on other people's thoughts, discernment, or beliefs, more than we value our own.

There's nothing wrong with listening to others thoughts and beliefs.  But Discernment, that job is ours!

We all came to this planet for a powerful purpose, and it's different for each person.  If we gather other people's opinions and try to "fuse" them into our life, it may make things "confusing" for what WE came to do!

Most of us discover our life's purpose through our personal experiences.  We need these experiences to teach us, and help us to develop.  That's why it's important to experience, explore, and discern what's real for us.  So we can share our authentic self with the world.

These disappointments not only help expand us and our purpose...they are also contributing to the expansion of the world.

Let's Grow Together!

Have you ever had someone present you with information that was in direct opposition to your belief system?

My earliest memory of this, is when I learned there's no Santa Claus.  Everyone has their own story about this, and it might not be a big deal.  While my experience was traumatic, and left no lasting scars, this neutral story may help in seeing a bigger picture to current life issues.

In my family, I am the youngest of three children.  When my oldest sister found out the truth through her school age friends, that there is no such thing as Santa Claus, she brought that truth home to us.  Since I was so young, this hit me pretty hard.  I couldn't believe such a thing...I wouldn't believe.  Her information was wrong, and I was going to prove it.  I went to a person I knew my whole life, who knew more than my sister, and mom would set things straight.  I came to find out that my mother backed up my sister's story.  To say I was shocked...
