Empowerment is Everything!

Imagine even better than the best you can already imagine….if not you, then who?

Energy – what would you do to have more of it? May 22, 2009

Spring is finally here in full force.  We’ve got cloudy and rainy days, yes, but everything is green again and the lilacs are out!  A sure sign mother nature’s arms are open and ready to embrace summer too….ah a most promising time of year….

For Canadians, surviving the long, cold, dark winter is a triumph worth celebrating on a patio the first sign of spring.  I know I slowed down this winter.  More indoor activities, long sleeps, early to bed and later to rise type days and lots of creamy hot homemade soups! 

This spring I discovered Cell Food

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, and you should not act on my advice alone, but if it feels right for you to look into and seek your doctor’s advice, then by all means pursue it! 

It’s actually a series of sychronicities that brought me to owning a bottle of Cell Food and testing it out with some water one day in early May, but within 6 hours I noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference in my mood, energy level and mental capacity.  For all of you who work in an office setting, I’m sure you’re very familiar with the 3pm ‘wall’ that one hits and ponders yet another hit of caffeine to make it through the day.  I didn’t hit the ‘wall’ on day 1 and haven’t hit it since!  In fact, even my need for a second morning coffee waned.  So did my emotional appetite – you know the one – ‘I’m bored.  What’s to eat?  I don’t feel like working yet, maybe I’ll go get something.  Boy oh boy someone in the office is eating something that smells good.  Maybe I’ll go get me some!’

In fact, I’ve almost had to re-train myself to learn what my new tired is! 

I had no idea how my energy level was affecting my life, my choices, my thoughts, my actions, my perception and my reality!  It’s amazing what having the energy to take on your dreams will do for boosting those dreams!

I’m not saying that this Cell Food stuff is for everyone.  But it’s worth asking yourself, what is your Cell Food?  What rejuvenates you and helps you make the choices you want to make and take the actions you want to take?  What renews your spirit and energy and inspires you to go forward confidently in the direction of your dreams?  What actions can you take today that will help you sleep better, feel more alert, and be more excited about your life?  What’s holding you back from taking these actions or pursuing these life-giving activities?  Are you sitting in the backseat of the car of life, or are you driving with the wind in your hair and the radio blaring?

Whatever your choices and actions are today, I hope they inspire you to new levels of personal connection to the Divine.

Blessings,

Pamela

 

Leadership… April 9, 2009

Filed under: Aha moments, Something new to try — Pamela @ 8:39 am

 

 

I do not train dogs, nor do I command a large company of thousands, but I have observed life and leadership and these are my thoughts….

The best way to walk a dog on a leash (lead) is to walk with them at your side. That’s how trainers do it. If you’ve seen the dog whisperer then you’ll recognize that he starts with an out-of-control dog that is all over the place and by the end of the show the happiest dogs seem to be the ones that are walking or running right alongside their master who is holding the leash.

Leadership in daily life is a lot like that don’t you think? It’s not about walking in front of people to show them the way. It’s not about telling them which way to go and then sending them out to travel it alone. It’s about walking beside them and experiencing the terrain together. Inspired leaders don’t need to hold on tight to the leash, holding you back in your enthusiasm or energy. Inspired leaders recognize which pace to set, and when things are getting off track and stop, they know when to do a 360 to ‘restart’ and continue down the path again with a fresh view.

May today bring our higher ‘leader’ skills to light, so that we ask of others what we’re willing to do ourselves, so that we walk alongside our peers, our employees, our managers and know that we are all one on this journey. And if a 360 is called for, dance it out, laugh it out, breathe it out and start down the path again….

Most importantly, in my humble opinion, be your own leader – all parts of you, side by side, in synchronicity and harmonious congruence and may whatever crosses your life’s path be an amazing story unfolding before your eyes, and may you feel grounded in all that you do, see, hear and feel.

Light and Love.

Pamela

 

 

 

 

 

The Way I See It #26 March 25, 2009

Filed under: Aha moments — Pamela @ 3:45 pm

I’m drinking a fabulous vanilla roobios tea latte from Starbucks this afternoon and an ‘ah-ha’ moment hits when I read ‘The Way I See It #26′ as it appears on the cup:  Failure’s hard, but success is far more dangerous.  If you’re successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever.

Wow.

Do you ever notice that when you’re good at something, then people ask you to do it again and again?  And you get comfortable at being good at it, so you keep doing it?!  To the point where you may not even enjoy it anymore, but you’re good at it and it’s comfortable now, so what’s the big deal?!  

I know I’ve experienced that both professionally and personally before and I’m sure I’m not alone!  The question is, when your afternoon tea sends you a wake-up call, what do you do with that call?  :)

I’m interested in hearing people’s stories of wake-up calls – send me links to your blogs or your stories here as comments….

Perhaps we receive some degree of wake-up call everyday but aren’t always in the present moment to be aware of it?  

I’m going to take a moment to breathe deep, go within, connect to the divine and envision a few things as already real in my life….ahhhhh….

Blessings,

Pamela

 

Healing with the masters… March 3, 2009

Filed under: Something new to try, This worked for me — Pamela @ 10:07 am

I am so excited and filled with anticipation over this new (to me) tele-seminar series that I had to write a post about it to highlight this amazing opportunity for others as well. 

Healing with the Masters is 24 (free) teleseminars that you can join in on with some well-known masters leading the calls. 

One thing I know for sure is that there is nothing like sharing space and time with a community of high vibrational people to really get my creative juices flowing and after another Canadian winter, which isn’t finished yet, the promise these teleseminars provide truly feels like spring is coming early for my soul!  :)

What gets your juices going and fills you with anticipation and delight?  How are you integrating that into your life today?  Do you know of any high vibrational people in your life?  Are you aware of your own vibrations? 

May the light within guide you on your way in this moment and in all moments.

Blessings,

Pamela

 

Falling down…finishing strong… February 24, 2009

Filed under: Aha moments — Pamela @ 10:01 am

Grab a kleenex….it’s powerful.

Somedays the world can seem like a daunting place and life can feel like a series of small steps forwards and big steps backwards….then you see the struggles and triumphs of spirit of someone like Nick Vujicic and you feel a connection to that burning flame of the light within, and the light within others as well….

May you reconnect with your light and let it shine – fall and fail today – it’s ok – it’s part of the experience you’ve chosen, but don’t forget to finish strong.  That’s your perogative too!  :)

Why… April 19, 2008

Filed under: Aha moments, Something new to try, This worked for me — Pamela @ 9:09 pm

I have to admit that I tried to end my relationship with the question ‘why’ years ago when I realized that they usually came from a victim mentality when I asked them of myself:  “Why haven’t I achieved my goals?”  “Why don’t I write more often?”  “Why is it so hard to lose weight?”  And I also realized that they had a negative almost offensive effect on others when I asked them anything that started with a “Why”.  Immediately I would get defensive responses and the situation would not go in a positive direction at all.  I know I’ve even chatted with friends about the question “why” and advised of my success in conversations when I eliminated it from my vocabulary.

Then the other night a fabulous mentor shed a whole new light on the potential use of the question why and it has opened my eyes and my energy in unbelievable ways!  Want to know what I learned?  Maybe you already know you lucky dog you!  :)

The question why has a response within all of us.  An automatic response that we don’t consciously choose at all.  Think about it for a moment.  Ask yourself a few why questions.  Easy ones.  Why is the sky blue?  Why do drivers slow down when they see a police car?  Why do telemarketers call during dinner hours?

What happened?  Did you have answers?  Did you have a response at least?  Most people do.  Most people feel compelled to answer a why question.  And usually with more than ‘because’.  Think of the occupations based on answering why questions – scientists, engineers, even management consultants.  Our brains are hard-wired to automatically search for an answer to a ‘why’ question.

So how about putting that automatic search function to work for you?!  That’s what a mentor shared with me lately!  Why is it so easy for me to wake up feeling rested and alive?  Why is it so easy for me to double my income now?  Why is wealth flowing from multiple streams in unbelievable abundance in my life now?  Why am I such a loving and giving partner?  Why is it so easy for me to feel the love and respect of my partner?

Breathe deep, smile when you ask them, and really feel as though these are real, in your life, right now.  Wow…..

Then let the automatic search function go to work for you.  The answer is not for you to form.  That is the role the Universe plays.  Just as when you ask yourself why you have such a hard time losing weight, you continue to have a hard time losing weight, for years, decades, and maybe a lifetime.  Since that wasn’t working for you, then there is nothing to lose but asking yourself “Why is it so easy for my body to be the right weight for me now?” a few dozen times a day for a few months now do you?

Let the Universe form the response to your new, heartfelt questions.  Have fun dreaming them up!  “Why is it so easy for me to take vacations on a whim now?”  “Why is it so easy for me to connect with my customers and help them with their projects now?”  “Why am I such a good leader now?”  “Why is life one smile to the next now?”  “Why is it so easy for me to see the Light in others now?”  “Why is it so easy for me to get along with my neighbours now?”

As with everything, the possibilities are endless!  The more you ask, the more the Universe has to answer, and believe me, the Universe is just waiting to answer and loves to over-deliver all the time!

So ‘why’ and I have started a new and beautiful relationship now.  I find it so easy to silently ask myself why questions consistently throughout the day.  And in fact, if I start to feel down about anything, it usually triggers me into some form of ho’oponopono – thanking myself for the awareness that I was immersed in a less than serving thought pattern and then forgiving myself and all that is, and then rhyming off a bunch of really fun and wild ‘why’ questions to get a smile on my face again!

Try it yourself and let me know how it works…

Here is the guy who discovered this method and wrote about it in The Great Little Book of Afformations doing a short video on youtube.  His website is here.

Why is it so easy for me to know that everything I’ve ever dreamed of and more is real in my life right now?!

Blessings of light and love to you all,

Pamela

Resistance… March 2, 2008

Let’s start with the concept that we are the Creator of all things in our lives.  That each feeling, emotion, encounter, and thought is something that we have created with our Divine Purpose in mind.  More and more lately I have struggled with powerful feelings of ‘not enough’.  I know I share this lot with many people, and that inspires me to listen to it and learn from it all that much more!  Resistance to what is creates so much unrest in our lives.  When we don’t ‘like’ feeling down, or not getting what we wanted from a situation.  That resistance is energy, our energy, and it is speaking to us with great power.  The same place where all your power comes from.  Because without judgement, power is energy and energy can feel good or feel bad, but it’s all still our energy.  Ask yourself today, the next time you feel resistance to anything in the moment, what that resistance is trying to tell you.  How can you graduate from that situation with love and joy?  How is this connected to your Divine Purpose?  Stop and listen in the moment to whatever your heart is trying to tell you and if nothing appears, be thankful for that as well.  Being ok, no matter what shows up in your life is truly the key to peace.  Sooner or later when you practice speaking with yourself about your feelings of resistance you will notice how strong your inner voice is and how much it has to tell you.  Always be patient with yourself and ask gentle questions as an observer and be grateful for whatever answer comes.  Always practice gratitude in the moment.  Because this moment is your life!

Another large source of resistance comes from past memories, or future anxieties.  I often ask myself when I’m feeling hurt by any particular situation if I remember feeling that feeling before, and when, and how does that feeling serve me now, and how I can infuse the situation where I feel hurt with love and joy.  It’s not easy, because our patterns are very strong.  Most of our core beliefs come from memories that were created before the age of 7, so if you’ve been unconsciously practicing a pattern for more than 30 years, of course one movie or one book isn’t suddenly going to remove that pattern from your life entirely.  (Or maybe that’s my judgement, and maybe it will!)  The joy truly is in the journey.  Of recognizing those patterns, being grateful for the awareness of them.  Learning from them and then consciously choosing new patterns with fresh intent.  But moving forward with goals and intent and visualization can be severely hampered if we bring the past into it all with us.  I often see people getting very excited about re-claiming their personal power, but I also feel the hurt and anger and disappointment in themselves for ever having let it go.  And they are determined that no one will take that power away from them again.  No one took it in the first place, we gave it away.  And carrying that hurt and anger into our future where we set a new intent that no one will have the ability to do it again, sends a message out to the universe that we want to keep experiencing the hurt and the anger and sure enough we will encounter situations where we feel that someone has taken something away from us again.  I see this time and again as a pattern in my life.  Do you see it in yours?  So how do we free ourselves from such a situation?  Consider for a moment where your personal power comes from?  Who are you really?  Without the job title, the relationships, or any material aspect of your life, who are you?  Really sit and ponder that for a moment.  Perhaps write a few ‘I am’ statements and see what hits the paper first….then gently take a look at them without judgement – are any of those statements of the material world?  Are any of them adjectives?  Keep revising and brainstorming until you are comfortable and confident that the statement of who you are is something that will never change, something that is constant, and something that is not of this material world.  Then meditate on how it feels to be connected to that Divine Spirit that is you.

Connect to that sense of who you truly are on a regular basis.  Touching your heart center, the top of your head, or deep breathing will usually trigger it for a lot of people.  Then when you experience resistance in your life to any situation, talk with that resistance and talk to it from that constant and very powerful source of who you truly are – which never changes and is always available to you and something that no one can alter in any way shape or form.  Perhaps the resistance, or the bad experience, is another opportunity to dialogue with who you truly are.  And to remind you that your Source has not depleted in any way, but that you have reconnected to it as a result of this experience.  Would that bring you peace and joy in a situation?  If so, then you know you are on the right path my friend.

We are all on a path….learning….growing….loving….feeling….observing….creating….but who we truly are is the constant throughout it all, and the joy in discovering that bit by bit, piece by piece, present moment to present moment, is the art of life!  I’m very excited to see that Eckhart Tolle has a new book out and that some people who participated in ‘The Secret’ have expanded upon their understanding and sharing of the Law of Attraction and developed another movie titled ‘The Opus’ coming in March 2008.  We are all expanding upon our awareness of how to navigate and there are many great tools to guide us along the way, but none so powerful as your own inner voice.

More and more I realize the value in the quiet moments of just listening….

May you listen and hear the wisdom of your heart today!

Blessings,

Pamela

Clutter February 17, 2008

Filed under: Aha moments, Clutter, Something new to try, This worked for me — Pamela @ 10:26 am

I’ve always enjoyed watching Clean Sweep on television.  You know that show where the guy with the Australian/British accent gets into homes that people have almost stacked themselves out of with stuff and then they have a yardsale and whatever doesn’t sell goes off to charity and they come home the next day and the reno team has transformed their house into something truly functional?  If I had a dollar for everytime I silently wished a clutter team would sweep in and save me from myself, I would be in a different space right now – that is for certain!  However, life is not always a television show, and the best person to deal with my clutter issues is yours truly!  The comforting thought is that others have clutter issues too, so I thought I would share a few lessons I’ve learned lately…

  • Here’s the Clean Sweep guy on Oprah as he was talking about his new book.
  • Mind over Clutter – a new theory on the ‘in you haven’t used it in X amount of time’ rule
  • Get Organized Now – a truly helpful newsletter you can sign up for that comes once a week with fabulous ideas on how to organize your household.  Especially handy for tips on how to get your children involved.
  • Clear your Clutter with Feng Shui – I got this book years ago for my family and myself and it was the first time I started to clue in to the mind/body connection between clutter in our surroundings and how our bodies/health were reacting.  If you suffer from any energy draining in your life, you may want to take a look at the things you surround yourself with and consider letting go of them, and the emotions attached to them…

More importantly, if you would really like to know the emotional triggers behind what drives us to keep the stuff in the first place, then check out this blog from Paul Bauer.  Because let me tell you, I’ve seen some pretty darn organized pack rats too.  People who still manage to hold on to a lot of things in their life and because it all fits into labelled boxes and you’re not tripping over it, then it seems ok to hold on to it.  I aspired to be like that.  “If I just had the right storage unit.  If I label all my files in the filing cabinet and it looks organized, then it’s ok to hold on to all that paper.  If I just had a bigger home to display all that I love and cherish.”

Life is not about our stuff.  Stuff will come and go.  Even the emotional items are only emotional because we bestow that power on them.  Emotions are not material things.  And if we clear the material thing out of our lives, we have an opportunity to clear that emotion too.  Consider dialogging with your emotions and asking yourself how something is important to you, how else that importance is manifested in your life, whether or not that emotion could be manifested without this item.

I’m a big believer in FLOW.  I believe that things flow in and out of our lives and it’s fun to observe and very risky to attach our sense of who we are to any of it.  Money will come and go.  Jobs will come and go.  Relationships will come and go.  Those are all material items too.  If something isn’t serving your higher self.  If you have it because it represents who you wish you could be, but instead is a constant reminder of who you are not, then let it go and have faith that when you are that person, and if you need that item then, it will be available to you.

May you make peace with your emotions today and free yourself from a corner of clutter!  You’ll be amazed at the ripple effect it has in your life!

Blessings,

Pamela

Tin Man & Princess Bubble December 16, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — Pamela @ 8:30 pm

Have you seen the ads for the new-age Wizard of Oz remake? Apparently it is a mini-series on the Sci-Fi channel called “Tin Man”. A ‘bold re-imagining of a traditional tale’ I think they say. I’m excited to see it whenever it comes to a station I actually get!

Anyways, Princess Bubble is also a bold re-imagining of a traditional tale. Not every princess waits for a prince. Some have a lot of fun all on their own…a new bedtime story to read to your little ones.

What tale would you re-imagine if you could? How would it go for you?

Happy RE-imagining!

Pretending… December 3, 2007

 

Pretending is a beautiful thing – it is the product of an active imagination. I love it when my little nephew gives us all air band instruments to play and we prance around playing our imaginary instruments and performing in our little air band. It’s jolly good fun! I’m so lucky I have a little nephew to dream up such things and remind me that I used to freely dream too. Take a moment for yourself today and really dream – really imagine some wild and outrageous possibilities! Freedom, love, health, wealth and true peace – you can dream it. So what if not so pretty alternatives are still there when you’re done your little dreaming session? In the moment that you’re dreaming, they do not exist – only your dreams do. And that moment is the present moment. And it is yours to explore any time you choose. Take the imagination a step further if you will. Imagine that all realities are imagined. That you are imagining the reality you are in right now. And in a different time/space continuum, but still in this present moment, other realities exist AT THE SAME TIME. Any reality you can imagine. So if the choice is yours to imagine, what picture did your heart create?! Did you save the world with your rockin’ ability to sing? Did you write a novel that inspired others? Did you have free time in your schedule to volunteer with the needy? Did you just sit for a moment of silence in the sun listening to the waves of the ocean in your seaside fortress? Let your imagination take you anywhere and everywhere. It’s God’s gift to you. Available all the time!

And if you’re wondering what led me to this inspiration, below is my daily dose of Notes from the Universe:

Couldn’t you just pretend with the job or occupation you now have, whether or not it even pays or is recognized by others as a job, that you’re receiving a salary of millions each year for doing it? That everyday your peers, partners, or supervisors are left in awe by how you deftly handle each challenge and setback? That there are backroom discussions going on (sh-h-h-h-h….) even as you nonchalantly read this email, about retaining you no matter how high the cost? That shareholders are beginning to whisper among themselves about your legacy, and board members are each hoping to bump into you at the water cooler? That the competition has just hired a management consultancy firm just to keep up with your innovative style?

I think you could, even if you work in your pajamas, and I’d highly recommend it. Especially the “millions each year” part.

See you in the teller line -

Grieving… November 7, 2007

Filed under: This worked for me, little miracles — Pamela @ 8:29 pm

Life has been busy for a while – sometimes work gets in the way!  :)   However, I am grateful to the universe for gently reminding me on a regular basis that there is more to life than my job.  Today I received some sad news that friends of my sister had a little girl who just passed away from leukemia.  She was only 4 years old, and she spent the last 15 months of those precious four years battling cancer.

Sometimes life does not seem fair.  Sometimes we cannot seem to find a rhyme or reason for why the universe works the way it does.   Sometimes we are thrown a curve, or we watch loved ones go through horrific events and it rouses anger, a sense of helplessness, and sadness.  The way we deal with these emotions is through the grieving process.

So what is the grieving process?  I would lean towards saying it is expressing whatever emotion you can to the fullest extent you can.  Crying spontaneously, admitting that the situation is next to unbearable, talking about it and sharing freely with loved ones how you feel.  Journalling your innermost thoughts and the fears it may raise in you about your own situation.  Whatever grieving means to you.  A good friend of mine once suggested that while I could not be present at my grandfather’s funeral since I was overseas at the time, that I create some time for a ritual.  A time of meditation about memories of my grandfather and perhaps lighting a candle and writing him a goodbye letter and then burning it as a symbol of me saying goodbye in my own way.  I did not take her good advice to the extent that I could have and always felt an open loop about the death of my grandfather until I did one day create the symbol and say goodbye.  It relieved me tonnes to be able to truly make peace with it.

Symbols or talismans are a wonderful way in which to give material life to your emotions, pour yourself in to them, and therefore get them out of your system.  I’m not suggesting they don’t belong, I’m merely suggesting that it is entirely therapeutic to give your full attention to them, and let them move through you instead of holding on to them and letting them paralyze you.

Consider it an opportunity to practice ho’oponopono and ground yourself.  Thank you.  I’m sorry.  I forgive you.  I love you.   And so it is.

While it is difficult to imagine, feelings of anger and sadness wished to be given the same attention and care as feelings of jubilation and celebration, because to them, they are all feelings and all feelings are energy and all energy has a primitive need to be in motion.  So let your energy be in motion today – be it that of grief or stress, or gratitude and love.  Express yourself today.  Create your own symbol for Wednesday being over, or kiss your pillow before falling asleep in gratitude that you have a bed to sleep in and a roof over your head.

Wherever you are, and whatever you are expressing, I am sending you a hug through the coconut wireless.

:)

 

Unquestioned Assumptions… September 28, 2007

We all make assumptions. It’s a part of life. I’m not putting assumptions down at all, I think they are very useful to me sometimes. Usually assumptions are coupled with a splash of experience, and a dollop of hope or trust. Like how I assume that if I put my lunch in the fridge at work where 40 other people put their lunch, that it will still be there, untouched and ready for me to eat when I go back to get it at lunch!

But what about the assumptions that are not based on experience, or even coupled with hope and trust? What about the assumptions that are born out of fear, or simple acceptance? “New studies report that more than 20 minutes in the sun is bad for you and anything under SPF8 is useless to you as a sunscreen.” Suddenly we’ve got people out there who literally don’t spend more than 20 minutes in the sun and scramble to find SPF 60 to put on their skin everyday! All because a news report said so?!

Or how about the diet industry? Carbs, no carbs, all protein, no wait balanced diet, lots of water, not too much water, eggs good or bad?, and so on and so on.

Or what about that feeling you get when it’s Friday?! You are tying off your list of maybe not so exciting things you had to do this week and making plans for numero uno! That’s right, 3 whole nights and two whole days to do what you want, go where you want, see whom you want and so on. (For those who work Monday – Friday days – if you have a different schedule, then imagine the feelings that are aroused in you when you’re about to get your break of a couple days…)

I love Fridays! TGIF! There’s a light-heartedness in the air no? Most workplaces allow you to ‘dress down’ – maybe wear jeans and perhaps maybe that helps you to feel a little more like yourself instead of Mr or Mrs Suit. But who says that only Fridays are reserved for this feeling? Who told you that you must suffer 4 work days out of the week, and on the 5th you’ll have a little respite and then for two whole days you are your own!?! I mean, if we are dreaming big, if we are the masters of our own design, if we weave the story of our life into a way that allows us access to that TGIF feeling every single day of our lives, would we make the choices we are making right now? Are we just NOT QUESTIONING the assumption that it doesn’t have to be like this? Are we afraid of having the TGIF smile on all the time? What will it be like to be different? How will I feel if I do X and not Y anymore? Who will I be? How will my friends and family view me? How does that make me feel? How would I feel knowing that the best I could possibly imagine, is real in my life right now? Right now. Real, in your life, right now…

Oh there are lots of things to question…

You know that feeling you get when you’re on vacation and not just the weekend? You’re away, exploring, on an adventure, someone else is cooking your meals and cleaning your room for you, all your worries are left behind, and you have nothing in particular as a goal except to enjoy yourself, rediscover sleep, and re-fuel before going back to the grind?! Who says that feeling cannot be accessed every single day of your life, no matter where you are or what you’re doing?

I know a very special person who worked in a post-conflict country for a year and who faced life-threatening danger often, and he considered it a vacation every single day! Everyday he felt joy for seeing the ceiling when he woke up in the morning and everyday when he heard others complain about the hardships of living and working in this environment, he laughed and reminded them that he was on vacation! :) We can adopt any belief about life we choose my friends…and it will certainly shape the experiences you encounter…

Question some assumptions in your life today – gentle questioning that opens doors to ideas, creativity, and your Heart’s voice….

-It’s ragweed season and so I am going to have allergies. That’s an assumption no?

-Once I’ve been promoted to a certain salary level, then life will be ok for me and my loved ones.

-You’ve got to put in the time to get the dime.

-I can’t swim.

-I can’t anything…

-I should anything…

Or how about the big big big ones, that not only involve your life, but the globe and all it’s inhabitants?  How about the assumption that the ozone is depleting?  Or that there is much suffering and poverty?  Or that no matter what we do it never seems to get any better?  What happens if you lived life assuming the opposite?  What would you see?  How would you approach things?  What if the world were a place of birth and rebirth for you?  How would you feel knowing that the planet is an unlimited resource when you align with it in respect and harmony?  Would you like to connect with others who are questioning their assumptions about the world as they knew it from memory and creating a vision for how they feel about seeing it with new eyes?  Check out the Consciousness Project today then…

Enjoy the journey!

Light and Love,

Pamela

It’s hard… September 12, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — Pamela @ 7:36 pm

It’s hard when the work gets piled up high.

The laundry is creeping out of the basket begging for attention.

The messages on the answering machine have been there for days.

And the to-do list has been abandoned in favour of basic survival.

That’s when you know you’re out of the flow.

That’s when your heart is waiting for you to sit in stillness and listen.

So breathe deep and give yourself that gift.

Right now.

Blessings,

Pamela
