We are the Light...

About Me

This affirmation is who I am striving to be... "Today, I find room in my heart to open with compassion to all people, including myself...room in my mind to understand more about them and myself... room in my life to allow them to be as they are... room in my life to allow myself to just be.Today, I accept myself completely, just as I am. I love all that I am, just as I am. I am love and tolerance. I am acceptance and peace. I am open, flowing and connected. I am. ~Carrie Hart, with a little touch from me : )
"Forgiveness is something freely granted, whether earned or deserved; something lovingly offered without thought of acknowledgement or return. It is our way of mirroring the goodness in the heart of a person rather than raising up the harshness of their actions...It allows us to live in the sunlight of the present, not the darkness of the past. Forgiveness alone, of all our human actions, opens up the world to the miracle of infinite possibility."~Kent Nerburn........
There Is Nothing Wrong With You
"Mirror of my future~reflection of my past." ~ Mara Berendt Friedman I am a Water Rat... I think this sums me up amazingly well... awe the power of the universe... Sagittarius: The sign of the "Gypsy". No other sign takes life more spiritually then the Sag. A constant philosopher, and natural born wonderer, Sag's are always looking for answers to life's big questions. Ruled by Jupiter and associated with the ninth house, Sagittarius represents mutable fire energy. The evolutionary goal of Sagittarius is to develop faith and a sense of life's purpose so that she is sustained by optimism and hope. Sagittarius takes leaps of faith into exploring unknown cultures and philosophies; she goes on an educational and spiritual journey and develops an intuitive resonance with what generates faith for her. The Sagittarian quest is to sample a wide variety of perspectives, to grasp the wholeness of life, and to find her philosophical and spiritual place within it. Sagittarius learns and teaches, bestowing generosity and benevolence on others, and can become an inspirational force of faith for others. Optimism, good humor, adventurousness, and enthusiasm are hallmarks of Sagittarius.A pitfall of Sagittarius can lie in being overly optimistic when caution is genuinely needed. Too much confidence, self-importance, or laziness from expecting things to come easily can be applications of misdirected faith. Sagittarius can overindulge, and find that creditors come calling. Another pitfall can rest in getting overly attached to dogma and being stuck in her own opinions. Therefore, breaking up routines of thought and action are important to Sagittarius. Sagittarius likes and needs a certain physical freedom in order to do her necessary work of exploration; likewise, she must allow a freedom of thought to emerge as well, in order that her ultimate perspective, philosophy, and faith can emerge.The highest expression of Sagittarius is attained when she takes intuitive leaps of faith into exploring unknown territory, and expands her awareness and philosophical framework. She attains an unshakable faith that has emerged from the wisdom she has gleaned from her exploration. Then, she can be a great teacher who uses generosity, benevolence and gregariousness in inspiring others on a philosophical and spiritual quest. Mercury Conjunct Neptune You have a very rich imagination, but you must learn to control it enough to understand what is real and what is not. You have a very rich fantasy world, which seems very real to you, and in a way it is real, but not in a way that most others can accept. You are also very sensitive to what is going on in other people's minds, even when they don't say a word. This may be confusing at first, because you don't know how you know something, and that makes others disbelieve you, even when you are right. Your intuition is very highly developed. I could not have said it better myself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The constellation Sagittarius... simply beautiful...
Right now, this is my theme song... for all of those I know who want to heal some part of them... for me, this is God speaking to us... thank you Coldplay : ) When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you cannot replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide your home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream, down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face And I.. Tears stream, down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face And I.. Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you.Wherever I go there I am... learning to be the change I want to see in the world... some days are easier than others : ) I challenge myself to "just be"... which is often quite the challenge, for sure : ) I am grateful for everything that God has graciously given me in my life-my wonderful husband John, my beautiful daughter Serenity, my amazing son Zen...my entire family... and of course my friends- for without them I would not know how to begin remembering who I really am- who we all are- why everything happens for a reason~ and how out of chaos all good things come."I am not interested at all to convert anybody to my ideology - I don't have any. Secondly, I believe that the very effort to convert anybody is violence, it is interfering in his individuality, in his uniqueness, into his freedom. " ~Osho"Awakening the Chakras to Life "Awaken to the energy centers of the body/mind. Embrace the colours used to reflect the abundance and vibrancy of life and living. You are alive. Embrace yourself. Embrace your life energy. Awaken to Life. Awaken to your Self.
