New Year New You- Oh how I hate this....

New Year New You…
Oh I hate this saying, I’ve been seeing it a lot lately and it really bothers me. WHY-you ask? Because it implies that you “need” something you don’t already have to be wonderful. I like “New Year Real You”…even though it doesn’t rhyme. Our society is constantly telling us how we NEED something NEW to BE better. And the truth is, we need the REAL you. The “you” that already fully exists underneath OLD ways of thinking, OLD habits, OLD ways of operating and showing up in the world. It is about uncovering our Brilliance- not obtaining it! What you need is to let the real you OUT… let it shine, dress it the way it deserves, treat it the way it deserves to be treated, honor yourself as you are…and you WILL see the light you already have within become brighter and stronger…more glorious than you ever imagined.

So as this NEW YEAR is upon us…What will you do to unleash, expose, reveal to the world the REAL YOU? How will you show up authentically?

Choose Peace

Choose Peace
So many times in my life I did not remember that I had this choice. I think that makes me human, as I know I’m not alone in this experience. But today I remembered. Today I stayed connected to my divinity and I remembered that peace is a state of Be-ing. It is how one can go about handling a difficult situation that allows one to….for lack of a better way to explain it…not make things worse.
Peace keeps things in perspective, it keeps your emotional state intact, and it requires a connectedness that is rooted in – what I call- the BIG picture.

I had a wonderful opportunity today – on 11-11-11 – at 5:55 this morning to choose peace within a chaotic and pitiful situation. It is now 7:55 and all is well. Best of all…I FEEL the peace, I feel the gratitude, I feel the connection to the BIG picture. I get to have an amazing day, all because I remembered to choose peace.

How often to you remember that peace is a choice? How will your life be different if you remembered that more often? How will you remind yourself that it IS your choice?

Showing up

My father was a high school teacher and used to write sayings in chalk outside his classroom door. My favorite was "where ever you go, there you are." Not an overly complicated man, my dad, but he had his moments. So why does that tidbit of info come to mind? I'm sitting in a hotel room in LA and came here for....well.... I'm not totally sure. No I'm not an actress/waitress coming to LA to make it! I'm here on business, sort of. I have been stretching the limits of my reality. I'm following a gut decision to come to an "event," a symposium, if you will. I came here mainly to see who I will attract - not the sexual type of attraction. I'm talking about the Law of Attraction. Heard of it? So far the ONLY thing that has happened, is this BLOG....and it was a spontaneous move to create it now....but something I've wanted to do for some time.
So here I am.
Still here.
Nothing happening yet.
OH wait... I think someone is....never mind. Just some kids walking down the hotel hallway.
I guess the Law of Attraction doesn't work.
I hope you get my humor...yes...that's what I'm trying to do.
Anyway, back to my original point. I'm here, I've shown up! I'm trusting my gut/intuition. I did it. And that, my friends, IS my point. The "Now What?" will be revealed...in time. Here I AM!
