Reach for the sun, the stars, the moon, just REACH!

While in my office today, I couldn't help but notice one of my many plants. This particular plant was so dramatic in leaning almost out of its roots and over the pot toward the sunny window in my office. I sat still staring at this plant and marveling at its need to be in the sun. I thought how significant it was. So many of us in need of warmth, encouragement, life, chances...

Looking at this plant extending itself to get what it needs I realized how limited some of us become when reaching our own goals. Think about it. What are you willing to do to reach a goal, not many goals, a goal, one goal. Are you willing to sleep less, eat less, do more, ask more, say no more? Think about it. What is your goal? How far can you go? Can you reach over your own base like the plant in its soil? Can you think the impossible? Does it seem impossible? Do you gravitate toward negative people or people who shine and warm you like the sun?

Take inventory of your life. Look around at what makes you happy, warm, encouraged, alive. You deserve to have an amazing life. Stop putting boulders in front of opened doors. You can do it, you can have it all and you can have the support and love and warmth to do it.

You are on this earth for a reason. You are a gift. Embrace your gift and share it. Like this beautiful plant, stretch, expand, grow toward the warm sun. Open your arms and be open and willing to have great things happen. Only YOU can make change happen. Only YOU can feel the sun's warmth and know, I deserve this... I want this... I am this...

You are AWESOME! Be Awesome!

I believe in YOU!!!

Blue Skies,

What happens with disappointment?

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
--Martin Luther King Jr.

Isn't love amazing? I love that I love so deeply. I love my kids in a way that words can't describe. They are with me 24 hours a day, in a waking state and a dreaming state. I feel as if I protect them even while I sleep. But what happens when they and other relationships feel what you give is not enough? What emotion comes up? Anger, frustration, disgust, sadness? Can you really give all and expect so much in return?

I think in order to truly love and trust, you begin with love, deep love. There are people in our lives that are not at the level to accept the type of unconditional love we are capable of. We want to give it, we want to share it but it sometimes gets rejected, misused, abused, even torn apart. Then what? Do we punish ourselves and say, "how stupid was I to trust her/him?" or do we breathe in and visualize our true greatness. We are willing to give, to love, to trust, to do, and for someone to reject it, well, it's their loss. Truly, it is THEIR loss.

Anytime we offer ourselves to someone else, we are giving a gift, an amazing gift. The lost and wounded souls of this world may think they want the gift but are unable to truly accept it. I hope they find their way. I hope you stay away from people like this.

Take inventory of those around you. It is so important to surround yourself with people who appreciate, love, admire, respect and ACCEPT you for YOU! Feel it, know it. I know I do and although it is painful to say goodbye to relationships you believed were right at one time, intuition and the present makes sure you are on the right path! The time is now!
