Journey to Wings

This picture pretty much says it all. Thanks Kelly Rae.  It is so important to love yourself.  

It takes work, WHEW does it ever!  

So far this has been a ride for sure. I am looking forward to what lies ahead for me in this lifetime and beyond.

Who would of thought that through the process of self discovery that things would not be easy and even lonely at times, but the best part about my journey is that I am not alone.  

I am so blessed and grateful for each and every one of my family members and friends who have been there for me and supported me through this journey.  

Thank you for being my light, support and providing me guidance along the way.  

You know who you are!

I have not yet received my wings, but I am well on my way. 

Sooooo until next time I am off to go seek more..............

Trust that Inner Voice

Everyone chooses their own path in life, but in the end there is one thing that we all have in common-for those that choose to- which is to seek to have a better understanding of yourself.  When you begin to become aware and look into who you are as a person its like peeling away the layers of an onion. Stinky I KNOW, but layer after layer  within time you begin to find out who you truly are as a person. All of us have a story to tell and when your story unfolds you begin to look at your negative patterns and why those patterns exist. And this my friends is when the true journey begins.  


I recently had a conversation with an individual who informed me that I have such great intuition, I questioned it at first for a brief second, but after we talked I came to realize that if we just allow and trust ourselves enough to listen to that gut feeling that you get when something does not feel right, or when you need to make a hard decision -act on it and trust that inner voice.  


You are your best teacher and amidst as i would call it all of the growing pains in life, challenges become your best teacher. As Louise Hay would say, "The healing attitude is to think of any external challenge as simply a reflection of your own internal resistance to change." 

Attitude is Everything

Whew what a week! Lots of activity both at home and at work.  Have not had the energy to write down any thoughts, until i ran across a story just surfing the net online.  This is such a powerful story and message so I wanted to share:

"Cherokee is telling his grandson about a fight that

is going on inside himself. 

He said it is between 2 wolves.

One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, fearful thinking, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"

The Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed."

Attitude is everything.    The mind is a powerful thing, but you have control over it.  Negativity is harmless to the soul. And within time it will drain you if you let it, or you can choose to have faith that All Will Be Well, only you can make that choice.

The Things That Are Most Important.......

The past two days I have spent in the hospital because my husband had spinal surgery.  All I have to say is thank goodness for doctors, nurses and aids. My family thought that it was funny when I said, I don't like hospitals, except for the fact that they heal peeps.

As I spent time at the hospital the past couple days, I came to realize that life is so precious.  I had a lot of time to people watch. There was one thing that I noticed immediately and that was unity.  Family and friends coming together to provide love and support for their loved ones when they need it most.

I started to think that sometimes it takes a scare or even something worse to happen in order to recognize what the most important things in life are and to me that is friends and family.  I am so blessed for the amazing friends I have in my life. I have surrounded myself with the best of the best, and have been lucky enough to have them let me into their lives.  I also have such an amazing family and huge support system.

I always have the mantra to surround yourself with people that love you, and as long as you have that nothing else matters.   It is so comforting to know that if you allow yourself to be vulnerable, and open up your heart to others, that your life becomes so much richer and relationships become that much stronger.

Thank you to my friends and family, I am eternally grateful for every single one of you. You know who you are!

Aha Moment!

I just finished a book, a book that I will have unnamed, but one that has solidified where I am at this point in time in my life.  It just took someone else to tell a story to really help me see that I am not alone. Some I could relate to, and some I questioned.  A lot to soak in for sure.  

I have recognized that there is a reason for everything in my life, and within time it will come to me.  Let's just say I am beginning to put the pieces of myself together. I am so blessed to be on this journey.   Fearful, but at the same time ready to open doors, experience and learn as much as I can while I am here on this earth.  ~"Be Yourself, Don't be Afraid, and the Love the World."~ Love this!
