#F It

I am developing a greater appreciationFor making trailheads toward my dreams.How many fields have fallen fallow from failure to followA path that seemed to farFor fear of finding my selfForgetting I'm found?But the thousand mile journeyStars with a first footstep.F ItStart giving those F's.Plant them Fastidiously.Farm them for forage.Flourish and flower.Flail and fail.Finish and flee.Fill…

Neglect Kills Dreams Faster Than Failure

Reclaim What’s Been Waiting for You There’s a silent thief among us—and her name is procrastination mixed with neglect. Not the dramatic failures, but the quiet forgetting. The dreams once vivid, now dimmed by years of neglect. The “someday” promises you made yourself, buried under responsibilities, people’s needs, and always chasing what feels urgent while letting what feels essential fade…

Ruling From Your Higher Self in the World

Ruling From Your Higher Self in the World

When in reaction to situations in life – consciously or unconsciously – we are often not reacting to what is actually going on, but to our own inner perception and interpretation of what is going on. This perception and interpretation is coloured by our conditioned beliefs and thought patterns as well as whatever emotional state we are in and any emotional charge the situation may trigger in the…

Do The Right Thing

Do The Right Thing

How often do people take actions without really thinking about the consequences? In my daily life, I am sure that I am called on to take action, to speak, or make some other behavioral choice thousands of times.  It would be difficult to impossible to be fully conscious of all of these choices, from what to wear to how you get to work, many of our decisions are handled by our subconscious.  But…

The Power of Inner Stillness

When we acknowledge that life is a series of "going" "doing" or "rushing" we lose ourselves in time. Life is memories of the past or distant dreams or illusions of the future. In this way our minds are always constantly trying to be over "there", we're cooking dinner but thinking about the task we have to do after dinner, we're reading a book and thinking about the dinner we have to cook. You get the point. When we do this type of thinking we are losing ourselves in time. You are depressed or sad when you think about the past, you are anxious, fearful or worried when you think of the future.

Today, just find your inner stillness. Be conscious of your actions. Instead of thinking about being "over there", appreciate being here, right now, in this very second, appreciate the moment of being.

We live in the information Age where we have instanteous communication, endless information and endless distractions that move you out of focus with your own frequency.

Try appreciating what is happening in this second, right now. Enjoy being Conscious of your reality, right now. Breathe deeply, Surrender to it.

sometimes that teacher is you

it's a funny thing. to be someone who is very affected by energy, by emotional energy; sensitive to the nuances of gesture and mood to such a degree that you feel far too receptive. too much input, too much stimuli. my nerves are as sensitive as my tastebuds are insensitive (i like confrontational food! give me the jalapeño, and never buy the "medium" sauce.)

you learn to be careful with your own energy. you learn to stay far away from too much drama, or those who would engage it casually. you do not get caught up in thread war, you chow no virtual beef. you learn to keep yourself to yourself a lot. feels better. 

wait, we're not at the funny part. this part is just tough. and it's painful. especially at first. but it's a necessary work. it's learning who you are, and how to interact energetically and emotionally, with the world, and with others. responsibly, kindly, wisely. 

the funny part (and i don't mean literally, but nearly baffling and perverse, it seems) is how you can end up being the one who helps others who have not done this work, navigate their own energy. you want to just get away from reckless or grating energetic fields, but you almost end up playing nursemaid to these sorts because they don't know how to properly wield their own energy (and i am speaking of people in my-non internet life, here, in the last two days).

like...instead of just going off in kind, you end up shepherding them through processes. they can be spilling on you, carelessly, and in all of it, somehow, you come across as cool and calm and mature--and this is definitely a funny funny part--when really, you are not! not really at all (but really, are we any one thing?) and you do even fear one day you may just flip out at the next person who doesn't take care with you. you don't see it as being calm or patient, you are just a seasoned soldier of the psychic killing fields, and you came through with methods of control and technique due to your own need to survive them. and here are these other people (usually men) who are totally undeveloped in being aware of their own energy, how to wield it, what they are radiating, what they are really saying in their hyped up state and by their hyped up state, and in how they are treating others. and they cause you psychic damage with this wayward spillage, and all the while you are having to manage yourself as well as them.

one reason is because you know once certain lines are crossed, you can't go back. and it's best to push that line as far down the road as possible. but other times, it simply...feels right. feels like being true. to you. 

in the beginning you just wanted to learn how to better yourself to save yourself, and to minimize harm done to others. and you end up being given even more responsibility by life. as if it is part and parcel of growing...that you need to apply that growth to others who need it. a juvenile part of myself wants to whine and abdicate any responsibility there. and i sometimes do. and it's not always 'juvenile' to do so. i definitely endorse anyone walking away from people who cannot act consciously. you don't owe anyone self-damage. and truly, i just wanna be doing my own thing and not deal with the flailing of other humans most of the time.

but the truth is, we all flail at one time or another, and if we were willing to learn even while we were flailing, life always supplies a teacher. sometimes that teacher is a bird flying overhead. sometimes it is a poem you find by accident. sometimes the teacher is someone unexpected. sometimes that teacher is you. 

but man...

somebody better bring me a pinche apple one of these days!

Worth Practicing!

There should be only one consideration when making any decision--Is this a true statement of Who I Am? Is this an announcement of Who I Choose to Be? All of life should be such an announcement. In fact all of life is. You can allow that announcement to be made chance or by choice. 

A life lived by choice is a life of conscious action.  A life lived by chance is a life of unconscious reaction.
