Wow, it is the holidays! Tis the season…and all that stuff, and yet it is not always so easy for everyone to feel jolly and want to participate in the HO HO HO of it all. If you resonate take heart, I have some ideas to help make it more of a merry season for you. I remember quite well the years after my first and second marriages and how challenging the holidays became – a time that I had always loved and cherished, so I do understand if this is not such a joyful time for you. Please know, this too shall pass. Do your best to just show up and be in the best state of love that you can muster right now – make the effort to just be in the energy of love with your best intention. I will admit that the past few Christmases have presented a whole new set of experiences for me. Being married for the third time, and still having strong ties and relationships with the families of my exes, in addition to my own family, and wanting to honor everyone AND include the new family, has been to say the least an exercise in love, priorities, choices and passions. I am ever so grateful that my husband and I communicate at the level we do, and are on the same page when it comes to creating new holiday experiences and honoring what is important to us. I wish the same for all of you – regardless of who is involved in your holiday decisions. Happy Holidays! P.S. A great big Welcome to all of you who have recently joined our community. I hope you will enjoy the stories, tips, offerings all designed to help you live a life of passion, purpose, and of course, LOVE!
This Christmas we are celebrating an engagement. I share this story to illustrate the power of letting go in order to receive. A year ago, my daughter, Erin and her long time boyfriend had ended their relationship. It was a difficult thing for them to do. They loved each other very much, and yet they both knew to move forward together would not serve either of them. I remember clearly the day I helped Erin move back home and the overwhelming sadness she felt with this ending. However, she had a very healthy and positive attitude toward the break up. She was so grateful for their time together and looked at the gifts they both received in that relationship. She also understood that they just were not right for each other. I give them both so much credit. In many ways it would have been easier to continue with the momentum of being together. Yet, the both knew they deserved to be happy and in the long run to stay together would not achieve that. They are now both in relationships that are so much more suited for them and are both happy. They trusted what was right for them. Erin learned so much from her previous relationships, and that last one really helped her to define what was important to her in a relationship. She was able to easily recognize it when she met Scott. We are so excited to welcome him into our family. I will keep you posted on the wedding plans.
Today, as I was eating a roast beef spinach wrap from Joe’s Meat Shoppe on Route 111 in North Hampton, NH, I was suddenly seized with such appreciation for what I was eating. I savored each bite, noticing the tastes that were consuming my mouth. For some reason, the roast beef seemed even tastier than usual. Granted, I was very hungry, yet I don't think that was it. I have been actively setting an intention to be present and focused in all that I do. My body has been releasing long held memories that no longer serve me, and as I surrender and let go at my deepest unconscious level, it is making room for me to be show up more consciously, and I am noticing that I enjoy each moment as if it is a new experience - with wonder, joy, and appreciation. I see beauty in ways I have not noticed before. Another sensory experience yesterday was the warmth of the fire in my office. Recently I switched my office to a room in our house which I had envisioned being my office when we bought the house two years ago. Hold those visions, folks, breathe life into them, put attention on them, and then let go of the tension until it is seamless and right. So as I was enjoying this space, not only was I filled with gratitude for finally seeing this piece of the puzzle come into place, I felt even more appreciation for being able to build a fire in the large fireplace, listen to the crackling sound, smell the sweet smoky scent, and be wrapped up in comfort. I also appreciated that the new set up allowed for my son and I to sit side by side at my desk comfortably as we tackled his homework. I reclined and rocked in a favorite chair as I was guided through a meditation by one of my support team. Sunday I sat on the floor as a mom and her two children enjoyed a session where they learned their top passion and tapped with Tappy Bear as they told Tappy how much they missed their dad who is in Afghanistan. Many pictures were drawn on the chalkboard, pictures were colored, puzzles were assembled, and my heart jumped when the young boy spelled out, "tappee bear is fun" with letters from Bannangram. Why am I sharing all these pleasant experiences with you? Because each moment that I sit in appreciation fills my mind, body and consciousness with joy. It raises my vibration so that what I am sending out to the universe and to my highest power is letting them know to send more my way. I much rather be receiving more joyful experiences in my life, and as I notice, feel, allow, and appreciate - I fill with peace and presence. I remind myself and I invite you to take time to be present in your life, in all that you do whether alone or with others. It is one of the greatest gifts you can share. As you pay more attention to and savor moments, you will notice that you are experiencing peace and love more regularly. Now especially is a time for you to allow yourself to savor the moment of love and joy that the holidays represent. It is easy to let stress, overwhelm, sadness, disappointment to set in – and yet, you can CHOOSE to focus your thoughts and attention on all that exists in your life for which you can feel gratitude. You can CHOOSE to see the love and appreciation in every moment. You can CHOOSE to see the gifts that surround you in every experience. I invite you to CHOOSE to se the love, the appreciation, and the joy that is here this year, this holiday season, in spite of what may be happening. Take a deep breath in..... hold it.........and release it slowly. AAAAH - now doesn't that feel wonderful?
