Don't fret don't pout,
peace in peace out.

Let goodness nestle in your heart,
today is the perfect day to start.

Let it in and watch it flow,
what comes in must also go.

Once you let all that lovin in,
your unique purpose is sure to begin!

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!

"Imagination is everything; it is the preview of life’s coming attractions" Albert Einstein

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!

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!

Hi and hugs to everyone!

Something wonderful has happened! Our company, Be Aware Clothing, has been picked up by Whole Foods in Reno, NV. Yeah! !

Be Aware Clothing’s baby products are the items that have been chosen to showcase by Whole Foods here in Reno. These items are terrific, well made, all organic, and purchased through fair trade organizations. We use only water based ink used for imprinting, (very GREEN). The most fun is the fact that we put high vibration words on products to touch lives, and help people put attention on the grace of life. 10% of all profit goes to feed, clothe, and love children around the world.

If we do well in the Reno Whole Foods, we have a chance to go nationwide. 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!

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...
