Holly Riley's Blog: Manifesting

What is it like to feel something…. Without judgement… to just experience it. What is it like to be willing to feel, to experience something completely with no reservations? To not be afraid of what might happen. To be totally present in the moment with what is.

Imagine, feeling something without having to categorize it, define it, interpret it, correct it, or criticize it, to simply feel for the sake of feeling. To feel the sensations of being human, human be-ing.

Like a child who gets to touch the mud for the first time… he might rub it on his face… taste it… roll in it… bite it, stick it on things, in things… explore it! He isn’t calling it “bad mud”, “dirty mud”, or “stupid mud”…He is feeling it. Unless of course the child has been taught that mud is bad, stupid, or dirty by someone else, he probably wouldn’t think of it that way. Oops, here comes his big brother screaming, ”You better get out of that stupid mud, mom is going to paddle your butt!”

Definitions handed down about mud:

Maybe there is a tribe somewhere that has decided mud is a sacred thing and the definitions they hand down contain ideas about how mud is filled with spirit, that it should be treated as the giver of life, never slandered. A tribe that rubs it all over their newborn and leaves it on them as a sign of protection and purity.

So, who is right? Who has the right mud beliefs? We could argue about it. We could find many different viewpoints about mud. We could go to war over who has the better viewpoint. We could divorce people who disagree with our viewpoint. We could divide into groups and see who could create the most people to agree, (the biggest group must be right). Then we could get a highly respected representative who could skillfully prove the rightness of our viewpoint to others. Ahhhhh Success!

For what? To be right? Has being right become more important than being kind ?

Perhaps the interpretations we place on mud are passed down much like our ideas about many other things… handed to us from someone that truly thought they knew. Someone who thought they were helping us survive. “Get out of that mud, you are going to get filthy!”

Where did you get your beliefs about mud? About marriage, parenting, teenaging, making money, spending money, what love is, and what kind of people to trust? Who did you get your ideas about being good to yourself from? Did you decide to be the way you are? Or have you become a set of beliefs that were mostly handed to you? Do you try and change certain parts of yourself and then fall back into being that same old way… again? Like an old blueprint is directing your experience of being human instead of you?

What would it be like to create your own blueprint, custom fit for your heart???

How?

Decide what you want. Write it down. Imagine it, feel it, taste it, carve it out, create your new blueprint. It’s time to be who you long to be. Put attention on it… like you would if you were getting ready to build a house only you are going to build your life. What’s first? Dream it! Design it! Gather materials and a good crew to support you!


Wake up each day and imagine this you… living, relating, creating abundance, health, what ever you want… You are the only one in charge of creating your dreams and life as you wish it to be.

Who if not you?

That doesn’t say, accept what is and suffer for the rest of your life like a good human.

Accepting what is doesn’t take a long time. Some do it in a moment. The key is to tell the truth about what is happening, get that you are where you are, feel it, experience it, and be quiet with it for a bit. If you truly experience where you are, accept it like you ordered it for dinner, the next thing you will become aware of is which direction to step in order to create the experience you prefer. You will see a way to move toward changing your life to one you like living.

Or! You can begin resisting where you find yourself. This is the most common response to things not appearing as imagined or expected. In other words, when you find yourself in an abusive relationship, a job you abhor, a body you dislike, a traffic jam, or even eating a meal in a restaurant that didn’t turn out like you ordered … you begin resisting. Resisting would look something like pouting; feeling like a victim of your circumstances, getting angry, revengeful, blaming, etc. Resisting has many faces; depression, alcoholism, over-eating, or over-anything. We are all experts in this field.

Resistance doesn’t open a single door… it closes them. Funny thing about resistance is that it is like glue. It sticks you right smack dab in the thing you are resisting.

This moment, the one right here, is yours. It is your life; the opening to your heart comes from being in it here and now. Accepting where you are without a single drop of blame is such a relief! Huge!! This is an amazing and empowering spiritual practice, which strengthens your intuition and self-confidence like no other. Real wisdom is made of being present with what is without blaming anyone, including self. Imagine a life spent resisting what is, people, places, self, environment, government, etc. What a funny thing to do. It’s weird!! It’s like resisting air. What a waste of your moment.

If there is something you are resisting, stop, take a moment and accept it as it is… just like you ordered it for dinner. Then be still, quiet, present, breath it in and let it be! Imagine and feel what you would like to create. Explore and enjoy the idea. An action necessary to move toward your dream will show up! One step will reveal itself. When you move there, another, and another. If it’s a mountain you need to climb, start climbing. If it’s a river, start swimming. It’s like ordering peas for dinner, getting them, and realizing you don’t want them. You can get mad, not eat, pout, and suffer. Or, you can order what you prefer. You don’t have to blame anyone for anything. It’s so empowering to get where you are in life is where you are in life, own it and move on.

Truly practicing acceptance, and then listening for the solution, is a type of prayer that connects you with your highest self. Your highest self is always there, waiting patiently for you to realize how precious you are. To access this divine wisdom, you must own where you find yourself in this very moment….and realize from some level of awareness, you ordered this experience.

Who cares if you made a mistake and ordered the wrong meal, or forgot to find out all the ingredients? We all do that. Accept what is and move on to what is next. Your moment is waiting. 

So what’s for dinner???

It feels good to do what I say for one day.

It feels amazing to do it for one week.

When I do it for one month, there is no stopping me. I have proven to myself that I can count on my ability to say "yes or no".

All anyone needs to be excellent at anything is the feeling of I can.

It’s a rush. It’s better than getting something for free - it’s better than getting something without putting the effort in. Why? Because you did it and it makes it so you know you can do it again. Nothing is more powerful than that!!

How does it start, where do you begin? How do you get the feeling of I can?

Begin with one thing. Use exercising, meditating, eating more vegetables, anything you would like to do more of. Begin with once a week, then maybe twice a week, then the next week it gets easier. Create a schedule and by the third week you feel energized and happy, the fourth week your feeling like hot stuff, and the fifth watch out world...you can do anything! Commit to five weeks of this new practice and do it no matter what. Apply this to any practice. Eat one food that’s healthy instead of one that isn’t…for a week. Don’t smoke one cigarette that you normally do after food, or when waking up, or whenever...

Do anything for a week, or stop doing something you have wanted to stop - for one week, and notice how you feel about yourself and life after just seven days pass. Something changes. Start noticing how good it feels to exercise your will power over your own desires and watch the magic as you begin to respect yourself in a way you have always wanted others to. It fills your cup so you don’t have to look for someone else to make you feel good. You look in the mirror and smile!

Accomplishment is a great source of satisfaction and joy for people who have a tendency to be depressed. The cool thing is you don’t need anyone else to succeed at this practice. And, it is a practice; you will blow it once in a while. So what, get started again and again and never give up on YOURSELF!

When you succeed it’s a great feeling, it’s all about you; you did it, you created it, you were in charge of the whole deal! It is SOOO fulfilling when you say you are going to do something and you do it without someone threatening you, or controlling you into doing it.

When you can take your success and own it, without giving the credit to anyone outside of you, you become stronger, you believe in yourself, a new you shows up. This is the beginning of a new awareness, a new power that leads to a happy and exciting life. Take on a challenge, just for fun; be amazed as you discover the secret to success. You challenge you, and guess who wins!

If I had to choose one ability to live my life with...it would be self-discipline. That’s all you need to create anything you desire!

Hey you guys… don’t give up on what you want. You deserve to have it… you can have it… and it isn’t as hard to manifest as you may have decided somewhere along the line… All you need to do is wake up your will… exercise that muscle a bit… get your attention out of those life long obstacles, and redirect it back into your dream. Re-decide… Decide that you CAN instead of deciding that you can’t.

Have you gotten tired of repeating a pattern? Have you noticed you are too busy trying to keep things balanced to enjoy your journey? Do you find your fellow humans more trouble than fun? Do you find yourself wondering what your purpose is? Here is the anti venom… Get your focus on what is coming instead of what has been. Feel it, see it, imagine it, taste it… Believe it is on the way. Do this every day for a week and watch the magic!

What has happened to your dreams, what has happened to the dreamer? Do you put more attention on your passion and possibility or more attention on obstacles? Where is your attention? That is the most important question of the day! Who is in charge of where your attention goes?

YOU! YOU!! YOU!!! You are the driver of the bus.

Would you like to find your self committing random acts of kindness to yourself and others? Would you like to smile, genuinely, at others and feel compassion for their creations in life? Would you like to take some time to be appreciative of yourself and the life you have created? Would you like to have more fun?

Simply take the time to brush the dust off of your dreams… look and see what you want, what you have, and what is really important to you.

Be aware… Let Yourself Dream Again!

We have been taught to find what’s wrong, notice what’s wrong, fix what’s wrong, analyze what’s wrong, talk to our friends about what’s wrong, hire people to help us find what’s wrong, employ attorneys to prove what’s wrong so we can win fights about who’s wrong, and God knows we always notice what our friends, children and parents are doing wrong. In general, we pay close attention to what’s wrong all the time. Man… that is a lot of attention on the concept “wrong”.

Quantum physics teaches us that what we give thought to manifests. Einstein said our thought becomes reality. Harry Palmer says it like this: “whoever or whatever you place your attention on becomes more real.” Many great teachers say it many different ways, but it all points to the same thing…we are very much in charge of what we are experiencing.

It makes you wonder - how much of your attention is going to what is wrong with your life and how much is going to what is good with your life? Stop for a moment, right now, and review your day. How much of your attention is just “doing” - getting things done - without much passion in your heart. How much of your life is on automatic with no heart in it?

How much time or attention do you put toward creating and feeling YOUR passions? YOUR excitement, and YOUR magic? Do you let yourself dream of having the treasures you seek? Do you imagine having them, experiencing them? Do you believe it’s possible? Do you believe in yourself? If you are doing this, more than likely your dreams are coming true. If not well… have you been putting attention on how you can’t do it or how impossible it is? Stop it!

Start putting more energy and focus on what life feels like living your dream and the actions that would make it happen, and feel what succeeding would feel like. Imagine what you look like or feel like having it all. See it, feel it, believe in it… and watch the magic. Here is the trick… if you often feel unhappy because something is missing for you – this is putting more attention on what you don’t have - thus creating more not having. This practice is amazingly simple and powerful. What ever you keep putting your attention on will manifest. We are all skilled in creating more of what we resist or are angry about because of this very principal. This is how we put our life patterns on repeat.

Why not begin to create our dreams by using this very same principal? Let’s practice believing in our strength our creative power, and in ourselves. Let’s stop with so much attention on the war against someone or something. Stop being against some country, some nationality, or a past experience that didn’t work out. It just gives the thing we resist all the energy it needs to repeat itself. Let’s put our efforts and attention on noticing and manifesting possibility - in our own unique way. What a difference we can make by putting as much attention on this as we do on what we fear!

Managing our minds becomes the most important task of our lives! It is our opportunity to create something better. Managing our minds is the missing ingredient to success in every area we have not been succeeding.

If you awake in the morning thinking of what is not working, start changing your mind. Wake up tomorrow with all your attention on something working. Imagine what it would be like for it to be perfect. See it, feel it, smell it working… every day for a week and watch what happens. Your attention on this will open a door; an opportunity that you could not see will show up. Your belief in its possibility will begin the process. Don’t give up! You have all the power in the world waiting for you to direct it to something deliberately instead of just responding to the loudest noise. Guess who decides what happens in your life?

Power, love, spirit, awareness, energy, presence, consciousness, call it what ever name works for you but know that it is always there, always patient, always waiting for you to decide what you are worthy of. You are filled with it, surrounded by it, immersed in it and there is so much of it you can never run out. You give instructions to life every moment by how you treat yourself. You set up the patterns you are living with. Your care and compassion with yourself or the lack there of, is your instruction booklet to everyone else on how to treat you. They will treat you the same way you treat you. What ever you experience on the inside has to manifest on the outside. It’s quantum physics. The good news is; we can always change what is inside, that is our gift. We are able to re-design life on the outside by taking responsibility for what is inside.

Peace in, peace out.

Be responsible for what you see. Be responsible for what you feel. Be responsible for what you give to the outside by how you are being on the inside. You matter. You touch lives every single day. Each moment is another opportunity to make a difference. Every thought you have is delivered to the world energy. Every moment of kindness is a gift. This is the practice of compassion and contributing to the condition of our world. Begin on your insides.

Believing is seeing, and not the other way around!

Earth is the most exciting place to be in the universe. You can have drama, pain, joy to the max, and do it all in the presence of the majestic trees, birds, and glass water to fish, wake board, or ski on.

You did it. You arrived. You are amazing. Enjoy your creations and realize you are at the helm of the ship you find yourself on. You are the wave rider... some waves go up and some go down. Get good at hanging ten no matter what situation you find yourself in. Remember you wanted some drama; you wanted some contrast so you could find out who you are. You set it all up to FEEL and discover!!!

One more thing; any situation you find yourself in, isn't you, at least not all of you. You are bigger than what ever you are experiencing. You are connected to everything and everyone in an invisible realm. You’ve got family you’ve never met.

Keep one foot in the realm that knows this, use the other foot to keep moving toward your dream on earth. Decide what you want to feel, what you want to experience in life, taste it, imagine it, roll it around in your mind and heart often. If you keep putting attention on what you long for you will find you move more toward creating it. It’s that simple.

Know you are loved no matter which direction you ship travels, no matter who’s on it with you, and regardless of where you find yourself right now.

Just be sure to remember it's your ship....

Cultivating your garden is not a new concept. We all love the feeling of taking something in it’s rough form and making it beautiful. It is an inspiration for us as we experience what is possible; we begin to believe in ourselves. The real prize is when we do this with our souls.

How?

Notice your rough spots and begin to work on cleaning them up. This gives you the self-esteem and joy you long for. Desiring this and moving in this direction puts a bounce in your step and a smile on your face. Notice I didn’t say accomplishing this is what makes you happy. Pursuing this and practicing this is the joy of life. This is the type of project you never totally complete and continually embrace.

Beginning to cultivate your own spirit and learning to listen to your heart is a magical experience. We are bombarded and distracted by shoulds and the economic dream - only to discover it is not the gold at the end of the rainbow we expected. The gold comes in finding our own truth, our own nature, and trusting our own knowing so completely that we are not fooled by the seduction of ownership and control. This journey requires a great deal of honesty and can have interesting moments of discomfort. Yet, even a small taste of its fruit is unforgettable… heaven on earth. It is the freedom we seek.

When a person begins to experience this higher-self connection they access the peace they have spent a life searching for through material success and even medication. Alcohol, drugs, pharmaceuticals, or any excessive behaviors are a temporary fix that seem to bring joy but actually are a tricky roadblock on this journey. More and more medicating is desired - which often ends up in addiction and a closing off of our connection to the true preciousness of life and higher-self.

How do we awaken from this cycle of sleep?

Begin now, use your will, become still and quiet and get acquainted with feeling your core. You can hear it if you listen, you can feel it if you focus on it. Create a relationship with yourself just as you would with someone you totally adore, someone you are meeting that you have longed to meet. Listen, respect, honor, care, and be kind to this new friend. Take time to do nothing except be with and connect with “YOU”. Get to know the voice of your heart. There are many treasures here waiting for you.

You will awaken to the difference between your ego mind and your soul voice – the ego is the one that tries to control, worry, escape, and be important. Your highest self has no fear and lives in trust, when it speaks and you listen, you feel loved. You will become clear on the sweetness of your soul voice, it will become your best friend. It doesn’t happen over night, be patient. The important thing is to start this new practice. Ask for your higher self to speak to you, to guide you. The more you listen, the louder it talks. The less you listen, the more it becomes quiet.

It is helpful to be in nature. Notice and feel the spirit of the trees, the creeks, the rocks, and clouds. They don’t worry; they don’t wish they were better than their friends, or desire more of something. They are what they are, being where they are, living totally in the present moment, not critical, not needing to be special or important - simply “being!” Beginning to feel this will support you in remembering how precious you are and how magical life is. You only need to practice listening to the soul voice. Now is a great time to begin...

If we keep projecting a world that needs to be fixed guess what we always see? We see what is broken, wrong, or in need of repair. We have no attention, or awareness, going to what is beautiful, lovely, and amazing!

OK, think about it...that means no energy moving toward our dreams and our joy; none, zero, zip! Our life becomes consumed with "fixing' as we get caught up in the idea that correcting others is the path to happiness!

This "fixing" behavior actually adds more negative to the world by always focusing on who and what is wrong. We become a magnet to what is broken! By the way, our ego loves this habit...it gets to feel superior and be right about who is off the mark!

Imagine a world where we appreciate one another as we are. We stop blaming and take time to discover the goodness in one another. Putting more of our awareness on what is wonderful opens doors in everyone's hearts. People become empowered just by being in the presence of this.

A few moments of attention on the goodness in our partners, our leaders, and in ourselves will multiply the goodness in our world. We can wake in the morning and notice joy, in the flowers, trees, clouds, and the song of the bird.

It is in the mirror, waiting for us to acknowledge it. Being present with what is raises the vibration around us and actually offers the opportunity for life to transform. Resisting holds a pattern in place.

Ahhhhhh so easy to love and be loved when we allow.

Be still and embrace your power to create magic.

What matters most is our ability to feel peace inside. As a peaceful calm culminates, it over flows and oozes out to touch our worlds. This creates a tractor beam of peace, serves as a magnet, to our desires. They come toward us!

When we need a boost, or as teacher of this practice, we can notice a tree. I mean, really observe it for a bit. Become aware of its total acceptance of what is; it isn't resisting, it’s not jealous, angry, mean, or prideful. It is being a tree with all its heart. It doesn't wish to be a frog or a rock or anything other than what it is.

Feel the peace it exudes, regardless of what is happening with the weather. It happily flows, bends, and adjusts to whatever brushes against it without a single complaint. No resistance. What a great teacher of peace!

Just a few moments of this will offer you some relief from whatever is going on in your world, and give you the juice you need to create harmony with those around you.

Love yourself up…. Be A Tree!

Be nice to yourself …always and forever... no matter how many mistakes you make. We all make them. It's part of life, part of learning to appreciate and enjoy being human. Mistakes are really a cool gift to the planet when you think about it, because when we make them (and learn from them), we are more allowing for others to make them too.

Have you ever been mean to someone who messed up and then tried to hurt them without giving any chance for them to change from having their mis-take? Who doesn’t make mistakes?

The cool thing is, when we do learn from mis-takes, we can enjoy and understand the gift they are in our awakening. Heck we may even end up more compassionate and helpful to others.

Now I am not talking about making the same exact mistake over and over again and saying “it’s great- I am learning” that would be more along the lines of manipulating someone. I am talking about making a genuine mistake and realizing you did it, copping to it, and owning it.

Mistakes really are part of our becoming aware, more kind, and grateful. Not a bad thing at all - a gift of sorts. Just because you made a boo boo doesn’t mean stop what you are doing and suffer for a while. It actually means, learn from it, try something different, keep going and if possible help others avoid the same mistake. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other until you get where you want to be.

One thing to remember as you travel through this life is you are always safe and always loved – no matter what. If you don't believe that, start believing it. Create it as your life motto for a while. Feel it in your bones when you awake each morning until you can call it yours. Once you create that feeling inside it will attract that reality outside. And - if you don't feel safe or don’t feel loved in some moment, so what?? Don’t let it freak you out. It’s just a moment of feeling. It will pass and you can get back to your intention when you have had enough.

Feeling mad, sad, afraid, or angry or whatever isn’t a bad thing, it’s a signal that you are doing something you don’t feel right about. These feelings are helpful – like a signpost. When they show up it just means you need to stop what you are doing and take a look, be quiet for a moment and let the knowing come forward. Then get your intention back in front of you - shift your attention back to what ever your goal is. Feeling bad does not mean it’s time to make your self-wrong. When you make a mistake and you see it, it’s really a time to be kind to you and wake up a bit more regarding your focus. That's all...NO big deal. This is the practice of creating joy in your life.

One thing for sure...you will succeed - because you are so determined to be happy! All it takes is practice and you are the kind of person that will never, never give up!

No possibility of failure for you sweet one...

Sometimes we feel obligated to make others happy, and in the process we forgo our own joy. We are often taught that love equals sacrificing our individual desires for the good of a group, religion, or global initiative believing this is our most important gift to the world... as though sacrifice is our duty.

What if it’s the other way around? What if the only way you can be in service to another is to Be-You-To-Full…

What if you went to the deepest part of your soul, discovered what truly makes you feel whole and then you did that as your gift to the world? Wouldn’t your wholeness add to the global wholeness? Your true joy could be anything, including sacrifice, if that truly makes your heart sing.

All that's required to do your part is honesty with yourself. Finding our truth is the magic inspiration the world needs right now in order to move toward it’s own heart. No pretending!

Imagine if everyone on earth stopped living a life directed by religion, books, gurus, therapists, parents, or any need for recognition.

Imagine everyone you love having a clear awareness of their soul’s journey. This knowing comes from a connection to higher self with no outside influence. It is purely one’s own truth.

Imagine the flow of encouragement and support humanity would give one another naturally, no agendas, nothing to sell, and nothing to lose.

It is a great form of love to empower another to discover who they are meant to be. The greatest task of a friend, lover, or parent, is to let go of indoctrinated or conditioned ideas of who or what someone “should” be and remind them to feel their own truth and move forward from there.

We all have a very special spot in the universe. When we follow someone else’s path, there is an empty space left in the fabric of the world. We have been mistaken thinking it is a privilege for us to live our dream. It is actually our duty.

Follow the thread from your heart to your soul. Give humanity a precious gift, and do your dream.

BE-YOU-TO-FILL !

Today is a good day to look with love upon all you see. You have the choice every moment to see through eyes that recognize goodness, or eyes that search for negativity. What you see, or are attracted to, is up to you and only you.

Imagine your field of vision to be a movie you are producing and directing, where you focus creates the experience of the viewer (you). Notice what your eyes seek out…become the observer of you automaticity without a drop of judgment. Self-awareness allows change.

You can treat yourself as you would a dear friend, who for the first time, is looking to make a movie that adds joy to the world. As you observe, become fond of your own good intentions to awaken and take responsibility for what you are creating today. It matters, you matter and every moment of effort opens a door of possibility for all living things.

Welcome love into your movie today. See the ever-present beauty of this moment. Every drop of attention on the preciousness of life is fodder for it’s expansion. As you get a glimpse of the good in your surroundings, each person and situation... the global movie transforms and the ending becomes the beginning… and oh my, the popcorn just gets better and better!

Whole Foods ordered only a few of the many items we offer, and our hope is that these sell so fast and so well, that the company decides to include the products we have for adults as well. For those of you in the Reno area, I invite you to stop by and support Be Aware Clothing if it feels right to your heart.

AND, we have just updated our web site. Many hours of passion and love there. …including some very inspiring blogs about perspective. My favorite thing is that orders from the web site are personalized for you by selecting the word/s of your choice. Words that inspire- Abundance, Health, Joy, Peace… The updated site is fabulous and fun!. Check it out at http://BeAwarecClothing.com when you need a lift!


My partner, Masen Yaffee and I started Be Aware Clothing with an intention to inspire peace in the world and in ourselves. Our mission is to raise awareness, create an abundance of love, and contribute to charitable organizations that empower children. We grateful and appreciate the idea of you joining us in our becoming!

A Big THANK YOU for being there BraveHeart Community!. Since my time here,
your support and love has been amazing, and a key to making dreams come true!

Peace In Peace Out

Look back over the last week of your life. What moment was most precious to you? Really, take a look and decide what touched you. I bet it was a time when you were very present – either with yourself or with someone else. Present is a great word. What does it mean to you?

Present - alert, here, breathing this experience, no mind chatter, criticism, no worrying, no agenda, no fear, and no shoulds. It is all a state of “is”. Being fully awake, connected to whomever you are with – allowing, not desiring or resisting anything, with attention moving in such a way you feel like you are one with whomever you are with, wholeness. A feeling of success often follows a feeling of presence. There is no possibility of failure when in this awakened state.

Some people have flashes of presence while others can hang out there for quite a while. This state of “being” is a powerful place to view reality from, particularly when you want to appreciate your family and friends. To become a great mother, father, wife, husband, or friend practice “being” with whomever you are with.

Implement this next time you have a chat with someone in your family. An amazing thing happens with children; they start sharing. They feel no pressure; they feel free to be themselves with no push to portray something someone outside of them deems important. They feel relaxed in the presence of YOU and they open their hearts without fear of being criticized. A most delicious relationship develops. It is in this state of being that we realize what matters most in life. What is important reveals itself every time. This is where love, joy, and alignment toward a goal jolt you out of inertia with the excitement needed to fulfill your dream! Life sizzles and people blossom when near this alive presence!

We spend a great deal of life trying to influence, families, friends, employees, and even strangers to see and act out our beliefs. This doesn’t leave much time to spend simply enjoying the preciousness in front of us. It’s always there waiting and when embraced offers the key to our next moment!

The joy of life is right here right now - we need only be still enough to feel it in ourselves and then it shows up in every connection we share with others! Isn’t that the experience you discovered when you looked back over your week in the first paragraph? Didn’t you find what mattered most was a moment when you had that feeling of awareness, realness, care, and aliveness? This comes from Presence! The most wonderful thing about this experience is that it is yours forever, and infinitively available. You need only remember to allow it.

Peace In Peace Out...
