Remember Your Brilliance

Through various teachers as well as being with the text directly I have been reading, learning, exploring, sharing A Course in Miracles for well over 2 decades. It has supported me through so much in my life.  I am participating in a course with Alan Cohen, as we work through his book A Course in Miracles made Easy. It's another approach to receiving the material, in addition to reading the print book, attending the webinars, taking notes I am also listening to the audiobook, again.  And today have once again decided to begin the workbook again.  It appears March is a time I head back in. Hmmm February is behind me now, thankfully. This last week has been incredibly hard on my heart and I need these words, this teaching to keep my spirit and my heart high. So I will do my mental first aid, and ACIM is on top of the list.  Lessons - I am here!  Last visit through the lessons - I made it through about 2 months...let's see how far I go this time.  I have read ...

This is my view right now as I get back to basics.  Reading nourishing words, writing and studying ♡  The tripod is here as this is spot I have been doing live videos for The Happiness Studio this past week or so. Live video # ~ 85/100 🦄 ♡♡♡ Yesterday during our live webinar with The Happiness Academy ( certificate program -  Happiness Facilitator ) we spoke about getting back to basics.  These are some of my basics: Rich soul nourishing words I read them and I write them  Study/learning  And connection This week, once again, (by someone who lives in a different world view than mine) I was told I was selfish, narcissistic, delusion and hurtful to all those around me - gosh it was a hard Tuesday/Wednesday.   I had to pick myself up and DECIDE to do my work-my work which keeps me in the light, in the truth of love. Love is a powerful force, stronger than fear or anger - however because we are both human and spirit we need to make a cons...

"Each day, our tribe of language holds what we call the world together. Yet uttering of the word reveals how each of us relentlessly creates. Everyone is an artist. Each person brings sound out of silence and coaxes the invisible to become visible." Anam Cara John O'Donohue Prologue xv :::::::: '...coaxes the invisible to become visible." What are you creating with your words? Do you imagine the words you speak as power filled entities of magic, creating the world you inhabit? Do you fill your conversations with filler words, to enhance the conversation? Do you construct your responses or do you allow the words to flow from you? Is this true for you always? OR is it dependent upon company and context? You may or may not have noticed how lazy some can be with their language, with their conversations, as if the editing or filtering or thinking has been switched off; for me - this is very telling of their world, of how they live, and wh...

A gentle bit of unsolicited advice, stop wishing your life away. This thought was triggered today as I saw yet another post on FB wishing for summer to hurry up and get here. Stop wishing for and "being ready for summer" When we are in resistance to what is (winter), struggle arrives for us. Winter is here. In most parts of Canada or at least where I live we will be in winter until March, with the last flakes of snow leaving us in April. What if you sink into what is. The cozy feel of the long deep nights. The silence a fresh snow fall brings The crisp orange and pink sunrises The large blue sky when the sun is shining as the temperatures drop even further What if you created an ease about your day What if you had a stillness in your body which would mimic the earth, be with the nature around you What if you became the next level of quiet What if you expressed your stillness through wonderful words, either through what you r...

Out of my rhythm The white sky has me thrown, when did the sky become winter.  Here in the north the sun shines a lot in the winter, and this is good, while it has little strength - it stills shines - the colour is more white than the fire of the summer. It's white, and seems more quiet in a way. This is alright. I like the seasonal changes, I like to follow rhythms. I am right now in a busy, time, with travel, and my spirit seems to want to settle and to be more white, to be quiet...to still shine, yet in a quiet winter sun sort of way. My travel has me moving between these two energies, the fire of movement, of change and the desire to be in the quiet background, shining. I have been teetering again between what my business is and what I am actually doing. Have you felt this way before? During sessions I deal in the intangible world of energy and intentions, and then I see the results through client success and change. I love what I do, love the interaction with cl...

Seth Godin says, you can always write a blog, because when you write as you speak, it's easy; because, as he claims, we rarely have 'speaker's block'. I am not so sure. Lately, I haven't had much to say, to share. I have had a great launch to my new service of Coaching via Email- I guess that is something to talk about. Our family has welcomed a new baby into the family, a new grandson for my husband and I - that is something to talk about. Our family has also lost one key member, my mother in law. All of this happened in the same month. August. So August was full on with emotions, the fullness of life as it were. The sadness and the gladness. It was bitter sweet to lose our Mother (in law), she had been unwell, and at the end in a bit of distress. So, of course, we didn't want her to linger in the sorrow of pain and distress.  She was happy to say farewell, she knew who was waiting for her on the other side. I also wonder now if she had a ch...

What are actively doing to create the life you want? Are you making conscious decisions to live your best life possible? Are you following through with these decisions (big step 😀 ) When the obstacles arrive (and they always arrive), what are you doing with them? Obstacles can be perceived outside judgments, not 'feeling' like it, perceived lack of time, lack of resources, the list goes on, mostly in my experience of listening to obstacles they sound very similar to excuses. Do you stop or do you keep going?  Do you shake off the obstacle, climb over it, go around it, modify it? So what are you actively doing daily to create the life you want? What ideas and actions do you have lined up to support you when the obstacles show up?  How will you manage them? Become active in your life, and your choices. When you choose, remember why you made the choice in the first place, this may be helpful when the obstacle shows up.  Choices are usually made to either mov...
