I just read over what I wrote yesterday and am pleased to see that I am still on the right path. No questionning my decision. I tend to do that. Question my decisions that is. But this time in my heart I know that I have crossed a hurdle. Ahhhhhh, feels good.
Was reading something about forgiveness earlier. It brought to mind a book that I read a while back called Radical Forgiveness. The main premise in that book is that there is actually NOTHING to FORGIVE because all situations that we find ourselves in are those that we have called to ourselves. So, if we called it to us, how can we start to blame another for the place we find ourselves now in. Good point and one that I am working with on a daily basis.
Becoming aware of how we are the creators of our life has some HUGE ramifications for us. Once we take full responsibility for our lives, we start to pay attention to everything that is going on around us, coming to us, leaving us, percolating within us. Everything that is ongoing in my life is the result of what I have created. So today if part of that reality is not feeling in alignment with me anymore, it is my choice to change it or to continue to flog through it.
I think I will opt for the change choice......smile
Have a wonderful day wherever you are. I am planning on doing just that.....having a wonderful day.

speaking our truth
One of the things that I do is teach spiritual development classes and tonight was one of those nights. During the course of the class we were talking about how suppressing our hopes and dreams for fear of upsetting others can lead us into a very shallow way of being. And I made note of something that I said to them.
It was "If we are not speaking our truth; whose life is it that we are leading.
When we stop ourselves from speaking our truth to others, we are also denying ourself to, well, our Self. I think we are all guilty of this from time to time. I know that sometimes instead of saying exactly what is on my mind in the moment I either paraphrase it or say something completely different just so that the other person with whom I am conversing feels that he or she got something from me. Of course they only got a watered down version of what I really felt at the time.
I noticed myself doing that last evening with a friend. He was talking about something down the road that I had originally considered assisting him with. However, now that I am hearing the reality of what it is that he had originally proposed I have changed my mind. Of course in that moment, to have voiced this to this person would have prompted angry words so I chose to utter nothing. Now however having had some time to seriously consider all the ramifications of his proposal, I realize that I will not be going forward with the venture and I will of course have to share this with him. But at that moment last night, I faltered.
And the why is the same as it is with so many of us when we balk at speaking OUR truth. We are afraid of the reprecussions of our decision since our decision is not in alignment with what our potential business/personal/creative partner has in mind. I do know however that I did make a firm decision in my own mind last night and by the time that I have to voice my truth pertaining to this opportunity, I will be so firm in my decision that it will not matter one iota how he reacts.
So there you have it for today. One very tired camper is this little lady. Didn't sleep one wink last night. I guess all of that mind chatter kept me awake and my whole body seemed to be vibrating all night long. Not an easy way to fall into a gentle slumber. More like trying to remain grounded while I am vibrating at a resonance that is even too much for me. It will be interesting to see what transpires over the next two weeks with regards to my decision.
When reading about the current planetary alignments, I am not surprised at all at what is occuring in my life at this time. To put it in a nutshell, there are a whole whack of planets in either air or fire signs with NO planets in earth signs. So what this means is that there is a potential for a HUGE firestorm or flare up or something along those lines, so be very aware of what is going on energetically for you too. And with no earth energy it will be hard to remain grounded at any time. It could prove to be a very very interesting week..
