Expectations…are they good or bad?
It’s healthy to have dreams, goals and desires in life.The real trick is to accept the outcome realizing that there is good in everything.It’s truly a balancing act!
How many of us live life without any expectations? I know that I don’t. As a human being I have a perspective of how things SHOULD be or how people SHOULD behave. So with all these great expectations what usually follows is disappointment. Then our story within ourselves starts to take a life of its own and our disappointment starts to fester like a sore filling up with pus of anger, hurt and resentment. “You did this to me after I been so good to you.” Then you become a victim and start defending yourself against the world. The inner turmoil and conflict grows. Sound familiar?
If you really want to develop and grow spiritually this lesson could be number one on your bucket list. A daily practice of letting go of any expectations of how your day or life needs to be or look like could be tremendously freeing and transformative. Stop making your life WRONG. Be patient with yourself as you cultivate this new way of thinking and feeling. It’s like a new muscle that needs time, practice and patience to become really strong. But like a strong, fit physique brings good health, working on your inner mind will bring peace, tranquility and harmony.
Set yourself free! Oops…is that another expectation?

Walking on Sunshine
Rainy week here in New England and you can see on people’s faces that the lack of sunshine is bringing them down. I use to feel the same way, until I realized that I always have a choice to feel differently. Why would I allow the weather to affect my inner sunshine? This past week I put on my bright yellow rubber boots humming my favorite song by Katrina and the Waves…”Walking on Sunshine.” Wow, I immediately felt brighter.All of a sudden, additional positive thoughts rushed over me:
- How lucky we all are in New England just to have some rainy days versus what some people had to experience in Japan.
- Ah……rain is good. It moisturizes my skin.
- I don’t have to water my flowers.
- I can write more because I won’t be distracted by the siren call of sunshine.
Life is like a large menu with lots of options, but the choice you make on how to react is yours. If you choice to be gloomy acknowledge that it’s your choice. The moment we all become self responsible, we can then realize that no person, place or thing can make us feel any which way. It is our mind judging and categorizing. Remember the old expression that the only difference between a flower and a weed is a judgment. I love dandelions…they are bright and sunny! What is your choice?

Face your fears head on….
As we walk through our life journey, most of us are filled with anxiety and stress; ourthoughts are loaded with fear.We mask our pain by pretending to be positive when underneath the facade is intense emotional pain. Inside of most of us is a small child who developed misperceptions and distortions about life based on fear.
You must face your fears head on and with an open heart, if you want to be truly empowered. It is an easier process if you face fears consciously, rather than have your unconscious mind create a difficult situation for you to experience suppressed emotions. Here are some suggestions.
- Take total responsibility for your healing transformation.
- Sit in a meditative state and then bring in something you fear the most. Create a negative fantasy of this fear and then resolve it.
- Be an observer of yourself….when you find yourself experiencing emotional pain, find the truth inside of you that you have been resisting. Dig it out to the open.
- Take a look at your own dark side honestly without judgment. We are all both darkness and light and pretending that darkness is outside of you will only bring in unwanted problems because of these suppressed feelings.
- Teach yourself how to live life without fear.
Release your fears today!Confront them and you will start to experience a freedom, peace and joy that you never thought was possible. Make your healing process the number one priority in your life. As you heal, this passes on to family and friends and ultimately the whole planet.
“ the only thing to fear is fear itself”Franklin Roosevelt

Let my Love open the Door
Peter Townsend’s song” Let my love open the Door” is on my top 10 of favorite songs.It’s a reminder to all of us how shining love opens up our heart.Love is a state of BEING.It is not something that we can ever lose nor can anyone take it away.The more we feel this inner love, the less we become dependent on others, circumstances and situations to fill us up.
We can start to choose to cultivate love through grace, beauty, wisdom, non -judgment and acceptance. The ego always craves more, but the heart gives more. All that love that you’re looking for, will open the door to yourself by just BEING you and knowing that is enough. The sun doesn’t choose to illuminate upon one person …… it shines on all of us.
The past is over and look back with gratitude for all that you’ve experienced in 2010. If there are things you are resolving to change as we approach 2011, go beyond the mind and the ego and allow your life to flow. Create an opportunity for new doorways of higher consciousness to open up inside of you. These doorways can bring you to new places and experiences. Walk through the door with shoes of love.
Happy New Year!

Healthy is wealthy!
Do you know that over forty million Americans are on anti-depressants and another 80 million are unable to sleep at night? America the beautiful has become a place of sad and depressed people, who feel that the only solution is a pill. Medication certainly does have its place, but when something doesn’t go our way in our daily life we resort, far too often, to a pill, food or alcohol to numb the negative feelings.
Einstein stated that “we can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” If something is troubling us whether it’s a health, mental or emotional issue, we have to be willing to make a change within ourselves. If you don’t make an inner change it will never materialize in your daily reality. If we want radiant health, we must choose to make that a priority and change the attitude that taking a pill, eating or drinking to excess or going to the doctor is the answer.
Here are some steps to begin the process of achieving optimum health:
- Improve your diet, nutrition and learn how to detoxify the body.
- Learn to forgive others and be more tolerant when they don’t live up to your expectations.
- Overcome lingering health issues by breaking the habitual pattern. Feelings such as blame, bitterness, hate, anger, fear, self-pity, resentment and depression decrease the vital life force flowing through our bodies. All illnesses are based on unresolved emotional issues.
- Cleanse yourself of all negative emotions and detrimental patterns. Love and embrace those aspects of yourself….that is how we let them go by ‘Loving them away.’
- Stop waiting for everything in your life to be perfect – happiness will always elude you. Life is never perfect, but perfect for our soul growth if we pay attention with awareness and take the time to search within ourselves to make a positive shift.
- Be responsible for all things that happen to you (that’s a tough one to accept, but true)…..remember, there is something positive in everything that happens to us!
- Be happy…it’s all how we deal with things and not the event or circumstance that has happiness or unhappiness attached to it.
As the Nike logo states……….JUST DO IT!

It’s time to heal!
Laurence Duvall said: “Human beings are the expressions of their landscape.” All of us could start making different choices to heal ourselves, as well as the earth.
I participated in a ceremony on October 27th with over sixty Mexican people at Teotihuacán, honoring the earth, sun, moon, planets and all of the cosmos. This is one of the most impressive sacred sites in Mexico and it is 40 kilometers from Mexico City. The first part of the ceremony took place in caves located below the pyramid of the Sun. Shamans call these caves entrances to the underworld. As we all gathered in the darkness of the caves, many were costumed in ancient Aztec and Mayan garb as they drummed, rattled and chanted. It was a moving sight to witness the Mexicans reclaiming their ancient ways. We emerged from the dark cave to the middle world of light where we stepped into a medicine wheel to connect to the upper world. I felt blessed as an American woman to conduct this healing ceremony.
After an experience like this, you begin to view the world differently and truly see yourself as part of creation. As our bodies have an anatomy and physiology, the planet does also. Our bodies can become sick and the earth does the same. As a contemporary pilgrim, I have visited many mystical sites and these places act as an activator to wake us up on all levels of consciousness. All these sites are connected to each other like points on a grid system. Simple, small steps will make a major contribution for the good of all. Stop littering. Recycle. Connect to nature. Honor all creatures. Honor your body. Respect all people no matter what your differences.
It’s a time to heal, a time to love & a time to remember who we really are!
