Reflections: Maine or Bust… Looking Back on My Grand Mid-life Crisis Adventure

023

In the fall of 2008, I embarked on a cross-country, life changing move from Los Angeles to Eastport, Maine with my daughter, her cat, and all our belongings jam-packed into a 6′ x 12′ U-Haul Trailer. The journey cross-country was as jam-packed as the trailer, with my friend Mario behind the wheel, we set out to make it cross-country in breakneck speed, traveling from Los Angeles to Rock’s Village, Massachusetts in 4 1/2 days. Mario had volunteered to get us safely from point A to just north of Boston, from there I would be on my own driving to Maine. As luck would have it, once arrived in Massachusetts, another dear friend, who recently passed away, stepped up and attached my U-Haul trailer to his 8-cylinder SUV to haul it up to Eastport for me. A bit of what prompted me to make the move and what happened once we located follows…

In the summer of 2008, I realized that it was time to leave Los Angeles. (more…)

Daily Affirmations: Happiness

When life is weighty and full of troubles it is so important to remember that happiness is a choice that I can make freely. Choosing happiness does not mean my problems dissolve or magically disappear, it means I am determined to not let my problems get the best of me. I affirm that in order to be happy, I must choose to be happy, today and everyday. Yes, there will always be days when it is easier than others, but I acknowledge that happiness is not a gift, and I must work at achieving my happiness. No one else can make me happy; I alone can make myself happy. Intent makes manifest.

Quote of the Day: Deepak Chopra

“Ecstasy carries you completely outside your ego boundaries. In ecstasy you know yourself as cosmic ego, unbounded in time and space. The end of love’s journey returns to the source of all awareness, power, and being. Moksha is not an ending but a beginning – we begin to live in fullness only after liberation. A liberated soul is a citizen of the universe.” – Deepak Chopra: The Path To Love

Daily Affirmations: Releasing Unfilled Desire

Deep in the heart we carry longings for certain things that have never been fulfilled. Those things might include the simplest of dreams to travel somewhere or find a new job, or the most complex of relationships that have never manifested in the way we desire. Regardless of the source of the longing, sometimes it stays with us far too long and we become a slave to the unfilled desire. Today, I re-mind myself that in releasing that desire which is unfilled I make room for new and better things to come my way. I open up my heart space and I allow that which is blocking me to fly free. In this release, I affirm that I am open for new and better things in my life. And so it…

Today, I re-mind myself that I am thankful for all of the love, the joy and the abundance in my life.

Today, I strive to spend each moment of this glorious day in the now, for it is in the now that I am gifted with moments of clarity that fill my soul with gratitude for all that I have in my life. And so it is…
