I Learned...

I spent much of the past weekend reflecting. Quietly waiting for confirmation of my next steps, remembering that I don’t have to KNOW my steps- I just have to have faith to TAKE them.

I created sacred space at my home in the form of a fire pit, we harvested pecans from our beautiful pecan tree, we rested and we soaked in the cool sunlight with friends.

I had an extra day with my kiddos this weekend, which meant we played speed rounds of a new board game and laughed until we held our ribs.

I had intended to write a blog on "Being Gentle"... and to ask who actually CLEANED their underwear drawer...But I will be gentle and NOT ask...*laugh* If you want to tell me your empowering story, I am OPEN though.

However, due to the fact that I was covered in kisses, wood smoke and chocolate for much of the day...*grin* this weeks blog will be something I wrote at the first of the year, as part of a mantra for myself.

I learned:

I learned that we can create our own chaos.

I will create my own peace.

I learned that sometimes, it takes something big to shake people. And sometimes the smallest things can challenge that same person to the core.

I will work on listening when the message is quiet so Spirit doesn't have to yell so loud at me.

I learned that I am surrounded by miracles. I learned that I am a miracle.

I will allow space for unlimited miracles to flow into my life.

I learned that good friends don’t have to live in the same city to come to your side.

I will be a better friend. I will take less and give more.

I learned that sometimes, there is growth and compassion, and sometimes nothing changes.

I will remove judgment and labeling of "good and bad" from my thought process.

I learned that I have the inherent right to dream big. Astoundingly BIG.

I will share my dream and stand in a place of beauty to change the world through strengthening women to believe that there is literally royalty in them.

I learned that we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience, but that we are Spiritual Beings having a physical experience.

I will treasure all of the things about this experience, and let my soul breathe.

I learned that "sexy" is psychological and that "smart" is sexy. That when love stares you in the face, you will know. And that I am just as pretty bare faced and hair in a pony tail as I am when I am dressed to the nines ready to go out to a restaurant.

I will be perfectly content in my own skin, alone or with a partner, and I will allow Spirit to direct my evolution.

All while I wear pretty panties and have a clutter free home. *big cheesy grin*
