December has started out GREAT. After a weird day yesterday, on the last day of November…. today was a GEM! Yesterday, I was doing prayers, calling in some BIG light out in a field at the edge of a parking lot, when albeit odd for many on a cold snowy day… apparently one person thought it odd enough to call the authorities. So, while I was getting food out the back of my Jeep a little bit later… low and behold… I had company! Two officers racing across the parking lot with a paramedic… “Just making sure you’re OK” they said. "OH boy… Yes. I am GREAT, thanks!" I *was* going to hunker down in this sweet spot to pull off a full day's work online... but… I’ll move on so ya’ll don’t call any MORE authorities on my behalf. Thank you! SO… that was YESTERDAY. And TODAY? December arrived... it was crystal-clear sunny, and I had QUITE a beautifully opposite encounter… with a blessing SO unexpected! In a very different parking lot... I was greeted with THE most beautiful sweet and endearing gift. A generously kind man apparently watched me from afar... and then approached me saying… “I want to give you this box of chocolates, and wish you a Merry Christmas. Are you going inside? Can I buy you a cup of coffee?” OH MY… what? I was stunned. Literally. I could hardly speak, and I started crying… to which HE started crying… and then he said: “YOU have just made my Christmas… Really… I am so grateful to meet you,” he says. We proceeded to talk… and walk inside… He treated me to coffee, PLUS, a future coffee gift card… and WE had THE greatest visit. I got from this man SO MUCH GRACE… and… a beautiful experience of the most beautiful energetic BALANCE he embodied, that I could feel palpably, as we began to visit. He embodied Structure AND Flow… creative AND functionality... that was so beautiful to feel. A GIANT gift, for me. What a treasure! He shared with me that he, his wife, and, his two adult children, ALL are in helping professions: Giving Love. And... I received. Thank you so much, Ron! YOU are a gift to ME… and you kicked off my December, perfectly! Thank you! **And the moral? Energy always balances. Yesterday's scary moment -- in a parking lot -- was completely off-set by... today's gift -- in a parking lot! Life is beautiful that way. And I am grateful. May we all... give the gift of Love this year ~ It's truly, so easy. [From June, 2014... Just in case it was missed along the way, sharing right here!] Life is full of "corridors," yes? What we don't realize... until it is happening!!... is that when walking down a narrow path, there are doorways tucked into small corners that are not visible - and then, suddenly, they SO quickly come upon us! The pathway is SO precise, so specific... that we cannot see those *new* doorways - until we are RIGHT on top of them... yes? When I saw this photo, it made me think of this truth... and how often we do not realize this IS true. So, I share... this simple message of #hope ~ Have courage to *embrace the path* even when it does not seem fruitful... allow the path... even when it does not *appear* there are any doors ahead... allow yourself to move ALONG the path... embrace the creative that IS the path... and, in so doing... *be available*... for the new doorways that await you! They are MANY... just as one can see in this photo... There are MANY hidden doorways that are not visible... until it is time... until you are PRESENT in their view, and then... you see... and --> you. walk. through. #love #allow #embrace #beinpeace Handling change CAN be fun... when we allow life's lessons to arise from the ashes... as we learn to EMBRACE change. Get creative and learn to curve with the unexpected that comes your way... When life throws you curve balls... curve, and swing!
Find a creative way for doing what you were trying to do, and most of all, learn to quickly improvise, or as we say: "punt" to find out "you CAN" create creative solutions -- especially at your most challenging times! Being forced to get creative could be seen as hard -- OR -- it could be seen as FUN and INCREDIBLY empowering! Like... seeing life as a game, and your challenges as the obstacles put before you that you just *know* you CAN get around! It's all about how we *see* it all... and how we *see it all* is OUR choice. Life can throw very hard curve balls... and... we CAN find a new way... IF we think and respond, creatively to meet the challenge that has shown up in our path. AND... how we see it all, makes ALL the difference in the world, for what comes next -- and, for how we EXPERIENCE what comes next, as well! As a choice, we can ALLOW... and in so, embrace a GREAT new experience resulting from something very unexpected. It's all about CHOICE. OUR choice. For how we SEE, and how we RESPOND to things outside of our control. So... when life presents things you did not plan, or that you do not want... find a way to FLIP the situation, to see another side. Find a *positive* side to the situation... and there you will find *the silver lining* ... the unexpected good that came from something... not so good. And THEN... be GRATEFUL for all that has occurred... For, without the "bad" or unexpected thing... you also would not have, the good that came, as well. So... aim to see, embrace and take IN the *lesson in the madness* of your situation. And then... through the very moment of your awakened gratitude, the WHOLE situation actually SHIFTS right there. Change happens -- again! Through *getting* the lesson, WE shift the situation, and next, it ALL changes, again... to relieve you of the situation that created the *lesson* in the first place, and allow an even better *change* to come, because you GOT it! You GOT the lesson, and now, a NEW way is able to arise, all anew! So THIS is just the tip of the iceberg... for handling change with much greater ease. Change IS going to happen... it always does. Sometimes by our choice, and other times not. How we choose to respond, how we RECEIVE the situation makes ALL the difference in the world! We can ALLOW change to move through our experience with greater ease by unraveling *the lessons* in what is occurring, to help "the old" that has arisen, move on, while allowing "the new" to come forth with greater ease! So... when life throws you unexpected curve balls... aim to CURVE and SWING... because you CAN! ~~ Intrigued by this concept? Keep an eye out for more over the next month. Tips on Handling Change plus a new program sharing an old but new Annual Ritual to "Release and Renew" that sets the stage for a new year that's free to grow ~ from inside out! If you haven't done so yet, you might like to follow Embracing Creative on Facebook to catch the news as it comes! Just go here, and see you more soon! It occurred to me today that a simple little decision I made a short while ago has really affected what's happening in my life... and it really stuck! It wasn't a big earth shattering ultimatum kind of decision... it was really just a simple "hm, ok, how about this..." kind of decision. But, I decided... and it worked!
So I wanted to share very simply: do not underestimate the power of your "decide." Too often, we get bounced around by circumstances in life. We feel victim to what's happening to us, when in fact... OUR decisions have a HUGE impact on what we encounter. Our decisions are actually a BIG part of our own creating process... The trick is, often we don't even realize there IS something we CAN decide that would change things up and we just think things are what they are. Well, sometimes that's true... but... most times there IS another layer that WE can impact with OUR very own choices. So... before you decide... take some time to take stock. Look around your experiences and notice if there are any patterns occurring. Is there a thread of similarity in what's happening or not working for you? Try to get conscious about what you actually want and don't want... and then... from that place, think about what you DO want, and decide! Make a clear choice that takes a stand with YOURSELF... and decide. It's not rocket science really, but its also not always easy to see things. BUT, with practice, you can begin to notice... and make choices that are more conscious about what you actually DO want. If you want help... just ask! I'd be happy to work with you one-on-one... Really... it's sort of all a big experiment this thing called life and how it all works... so why not get your feet wet and play with the elements that make life tick... Try it out, and see how it goes! Decide, and watch how things change in your world! I just wrote the most beautiful blog post with insights I've never shared before about how to STAY POSITIVE when things go bad... and... guess what? The whole post just deleted itself?!!! wow. OK then! I get a taste of reality, AND, I get to follow my own advice: Keep Calm and put on a Happy Face... because: What we Focus on Grows!!! SO, Keep Calm and Stay Positive!!! I'll come back another time to re-create the post that just got lost... guess it was testing my ability to follow this advice?! Not happy that GREAT writing just fell away... but... what can I do... but keep positive, and move on... I'll be back! :) I hope your New Year is starting out PERFECT! 2016 is here to stay! We are ALL choosing our way down the little yellow brick road of life... all day, every day!! THAT is how we create what comes next... in everything!! So... learning how to choose the right way becomes pretty darn key, yes? :) Here's a #TIP: Think about the notion of *recognizing* that which ENERGIZES you (makes you feel more alive!!)... versus... that which DRAINS you... (makes you feel like you wanna slump over and sleep!). This is where you start! Saying NO to that which drains you, and saying YES to that which energizes you... THIS is where your answers live!! Just like, if the actual steps on a pathway were to "light up" when they are *right* versus other steps that feel dull and dreary... Maybe... just maybe... there's a reason for that! You won't ever know what's on the other side of a choice, until you make it. And. How you learn to know, is by trial and error. You learn... by doing! So... try it! It can be a little tricky... like you're feeling your way thru the dark... BUT, it really only takes practice... to recognize what is best!! Most important is to pay attention to *how you feel* when you choose! How do you feel when you Choose YES versus NO? How does it feel in your GUT!!!? That is where you start... ~~~ Look for more on this... in a future post! I really had no idea how much FEAR has been part of my world... until I spontaneously agreed -- just yesterday -- to be the inaugural first guest for the "With Intent" Radio Talk Show, today.
Despite some technical challenges, I think we had a GREAT time this morning... as I dug in to share stories from my journey around the globe... while considering the notion of FEAR and how that concept is actually an important part of our lives, everyday. Take a listen to the surprising conversation that ensued, on a subject I suspect no one really wants to talk about: FEAR. Sometimes, it has an important role, while other times, it begs for us to get right and let it go! With BIG THANKS to Michael Brookes, producer of the Ignite Your Life Coaches on Fire Radio Network for making this possible. AND, to my gracious host, Carina Ghionzoli of With Intent Pty, Ltd for sharing a GREAT conversation, and interviewing me today -- I say THANK YOU. Sharing now the recording from today's interview on FEAR. Click here to have a listen... about surpassing fear, allowing (or taming?) the wild child... and embracing the creative, in you! |
