Flowing

Allowing the flow of life rather that creating a blockage.

Today I will float on the current of life.

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

YUM ... -♥- ... YUM ... -♥- ... YUM - an expression of delight - Bologna 2010

Surrendering into a State of Gratitude.

Today will be filled with the replacement and replenishment of all of the little detailed elements that came into use and play over the weekend.

My gratitude and joy for how the universe unfolded over the weekend has placed me in a place and state where taking care of all of the little details seems so full of ease. My sense of gratitude allows for the closing and final elements to fall away and apart and dissolve into the planning for what comes next. This continuous rhythm gives me stability and eases whatever small contractions or constraints there might be in the final bits of closing,  while the next opening begins.

Today I will let the Gratitude flow and power me.

Pink Tour – What does this mean?

Today a friend challenged me to illustrate a particular point about leading and the power and passion involved in moving forward. This forward motion can be about my life but often in this moment it is really about my moving my life forward in conjunction with other aspects and elements of my community and those that are around me. I so very often do not see or experience myself as a leader when I very much am leading. Often I have no idea that i am mentoring and modelling a particular group and way of being when it sees to come naturally.

I can no longer wait for someone else to lead the way because I am already on my way. Join me on the BIG PINK TOUR BUS

The illustrative point of this analogy of the BIG PINK TOUR BUS is that the whole thing is kind of like ME driving the bus. I am no longer a passenger, I am the driver. I work for my own tour company so the tours are really my choice. Being a savvy operator I always check with those around me to see what they would like. I am actually the leader and the one moving the whole operation ahead, setting the course and direction, creating the tone.

Funny thing is I very often don’t know exactly where the bus is going but I do know that I want the trip to be fun, uplifting an unpredictable and joyful experience.

The JOURNEY is really important, the DESTINATION not so much. Dancing on the Ecstatic path… rather than forging my way through and having the path be a particular way before setting out.

My BIG PINK bus!

Taking action

Taking action helps. Taking action STOPS the freight train of procrastination. Taking action lets me feel and know that I am doing what I need to do. Taking action keeps me in the track.

Today I will continue to take action and grow the life I so desire.

ECSTASY : a state of being beyond reason and self-control

Being beyond reason is foreign, unknown; however, it is not undesirable. Beyond self-control is even more familiar and almost unfathomable. There is no other place that I would rather be than in a state of ecstasy.

Ecstatic and Sexy at the same time could be a lot of fun. That would look like sexy beyond reason and self- control. That might look a little different from all the controls and reason that I typically have in place.

Today I will allow for beyond reason and self-control. Today I will let myself be ecstatic.

Expanding today.

Each moment I spend contracting and pulling away takes me further away from what I want and how I want to be. Each moment I spend expanding and leaning in I get closer to what and how i want to be.

Being open and engaged helps. Today I will allow and give permission to the inner being, simply letting what is – be at rest and play.

Love – the ever expanding Juicy Heart

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…
 
 

The Moment

The Moment

The moment when, after many years
of hard work and a long voyage
you stand in the centre of your room,
house, half-acre, square mile, island, country,
knowing at last how you got there,
and say, I own this,

is the same moment when the trees unloose
their soft arms from around you,
the birds take back their language,
the cliffs fissure and collapse,
the air moves back from you like a wave
and you can’t breathe.

No, they whisper. You own nothing.
You were a visitor, time after time
climbing the hill, planting the flag, proclaiming.
We never belonged to you.
You never found us.
It was always the other way round.

Margaret Atwood
