Daily Affirmations: My Life Is Like A Garden

secret gardenToday, I re-mind myself that my life is like a garden. If I want to blossom and thrive in the sun, I must carefully cultivate the aspects of my life that need tending. The garden left untended becomes unwieldy and overgrown with weeds. The life goals left untended so too, will be encompassed by weeds that overcome goals, and soon the goals will be unrecognizable. I tend carefully my goals, for they are the flowers of my life.

Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: Disconnect to Reconnect

It is not uncommon to let our busy lives get in the way of our relationships. Today, I re-mind myself that it is a choice I can make, to be present in the lives of my loved ones. This means not just showing up, but also to be fully there, unattached to outside influences, engaging in conversation, and even quite moments.

Technology has changed the way we communicate. At the very core of relationships, it is the one on one communication, the touch, the hug, the eye contact, that each of us crave and need in our lives. Sometimes we all need to step back and disengage from technology so we can truly feel and relate to others. Today I affirm that when I am with my loved ones I will disconnect so that I may reconnect.

Namaste… Pamela

Food For Thought: Communication

“Communication can heal.”

Henry James Borys-The Sacred FireThink about that… While we’re all so busy online communicating on social media websites, we forget, perhaps the value and the sheer wonder of sitting with a friend, talking, communicating, sharing joy and sorrow in the same physical space, together. I too am guilty of this… (more…)

Food For Thought: Patience

Patience has never been one of my virtues…

grapevineatmaudslayHowever, the older I get the better I am at mastering the fine art of patience. When you “do something else in the meantime,” you invariably fill your time with something else that takes your mind off of whatever you are waiting for. And sometimes, you just need to, “Get out there and make it happen.”

Idle waiting can become a playground for impatience and anxiety. Take a walk, turn on some music, do something meaningful… Soon you’ll find you have mastered patience.

Daily Affirmations: Letting Go

Balancing a life with with too many things can wear down even the strongest person. Sometimes we get caught up in the desire to let go of things that no longer serve us in out lives, but we are afraid to let those things job. Maybe it is a part-time job for extra money, a relationship that is no longer working, or an object that no longer holds sentimental value. Whatever these things are that we hold onto are taking up space in our lives, whether we want them too or not. Still, letting go is difficult and we hold on until perhaps the Universe gives us a sign…

Today, I am grateful for the signs and signals of the Universe, that guide my path. I recognize that there are certain signs that appear in my life that truly are signals that it is time to release and let go. Everything is impermanent. I breathe deeply, I exhale and release… In letting go, I know I am making room for new opportunities.

Namaste… Pamela
