YUM
  1. An expression used to indicate delight in regard to a certain food’s flavor

-♥-

My version: ~ The sound made when releasing through a hum, with the tongue lowered… and expressing delight!

Today I will be in the YUM of release. A day when I take care of chores, the laundry, repositioning all of the supplies from the weekend. Today I will take care of all of this and be in the YUM of the release from the weekend. YUM … -♥- … YUM … -♥- … YUM

And I can smile and be grateful all at the same time…

LOVE -♥- Juicy Heart 

YUM … -♥- … YUM … -♥- … YUM

Adventure.

Adventure is a key ingredient in the Juiciness of a heart full of passion. When I stay in an adventuresome being I am able to be more curious. I might suddenly vear off the path, I might be a little erratic, I might race ahead or dawdle along. The course of the adventure is never really known and there are many surprises along the way. I adore playing in the unknown and being startled and teased by the many surprises. 

Sometimes the adventures might even be in LOVE! I adore being able to LOVE as if it was a big adventure!

Today I will play in the Adventure of LOVE and LIFE

AH HA Sexy Passion – Passion is a playmate.

I seem not to be able to rid myself of passion. Passion follows me and is in me wherever I go. Passion moves through my work, my play and my day to day life, as well as my dreams. Living passionately and full-out is not natural to me. I only came to expressing passion and being passionate after finding permission inside of myself.

When you’re at peace with yourself and you love your self, it’s virtually impossible for you to do things to yourself that are destructive.
When you get enough inner peace and feel really positive about yourself, it’s almost impossible for you to be controlled or manipulated by anyone else.
the more you extend kindness to yourself the more it will become your natural response to others
A secret of abundance is to stop focussing on what you do not have and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all that you do have
No limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them.

No limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them.

Wayne Dyer

The idea of living in passion is relatively new to me as a 55 year old man. A few years ago my passion scared me, I did not know how to live with this part of me that seemed so out of control, so huge, so fierce. Today I watch for the fierceness and enjoy the eruption as passion plays out of me.  Today I thrive on the richness and the fulness of expression that passion allows for me.

Today I will surf in the flood of creativity that my passion brings and I will live without limiting that abundance of fresh, new and recurring old. Today I will let the passion flow, erupt, shoot and drizzle.

Today I will be full and playful and enjoy the freedom I feel without limits, living in joyful, blissful passion.

Pink has an energetic resonance with me.

Funny that which I was so ashamed of many years ago can rise up in me to be  such a powerful symbol of strength and energy. The colour pink is to me what I imagine totem figures are to some. I am constantly drawn to how this colour brings a smile to my face, relaxes me, stimulates me. Yes I know those words that just came out are contradictory… there you go. Some things, some external influences can have mysterious powers.

I adore what the colour pink does for me!

Pink PUMPS ME!
Today I will make sure that something that is PINK will be against my skin, reminding me…
 
 

Choice today is a Powerful Place to be!

I am on my way home after a weekend of service. I had the honour to serve for a workshop called Power Surrender and Intimacy. I had a joy filled time. I was surprised to find that I could change my beliefs, change my outlook and change my experience. It was very simple, all I needed to do was dive into the place in myself where I could make a choice. Sometimes it was very simple and sometimes it was immensely complex. The simplicity of choosing to choose became more and more clear as the weekend went by.

Today I will be in the absolute fluidity of being able and willing to CHOOSE!

Building today.

Preparing and planning and at the same time building all of the excitement about this next workshop. Joyfully staying focused on knowing that there are actually a myriad of goals and as long as I keep moving ahead I will be moving ahead. I know that this sounds redundant; however, I can figure no better way to express this concept.  Moving ahead is moving ahead, not moving sideways or stuck. The motion ahead is all motion and moving ahead.

I once took in a teacher saying that they experienced me going off on tangents. I like to think that I have learned to be more focused and at the same time softer and more radiant in my directional energy.

Blessed BE. Today I will PLAY!

My motto for the day - London 2011

 

Building my resources today in preparation for the next two days.

I am giving myself plenty of time and space to build energy, focus and clarity for the days ahead. I am grateful today for all of the wealth of past experience. 

Today I will revel in the abundance of choice that is created for me from the wealth of material that enriches my past.

Exploration.

Exploring, going on a journey to find new and yet undiscovered territory. I love to explore and seek out new and sample unknown and move to the edge to see some new and until now unvisited place. This exploration could be within myself or on another part of the globe. Exploring with an open heart and mind and body brings me excitement and the pleasure of new discoveries.

Today I will explore, and seek new discoveries within myself

Smiling, again this comes to me to write about smiling.

Smiling helps so much. The simple act of smiling creates a change in my attitude and a shift in my demeanour.  I know when I am smiling that I am taking myself less seriously. I know that I am breathing and allowing for life energy to move. Smiling helps with my attitude, I know that when I am smiling I am going to be more gracious. When I smile I know that I am alive and part of the energy of the earth.

Today I will smile. Besides it is the first day of October… I will even be happy today.

“You must ask for what you really want…”
 
Life is amazing when you begin to ask. Life begins to happen. That life is happening brings trust that we will be heard. Being heard means asking for more. Asking for more brings abundance. Abundance builds and grows in other areas and soon we can have a life that is full of what we have been asking for.
 
Don’t go back to sleep…

Thanks to Harry Faddis for the art and to Rumi for the poem and to all of the seekers who have carried this image with them, that I might have the honour to share.
