Food For Thought: Moving On

I had had my heart set for a few months now to move to a new apartment. I had two criteria that mattered most, after living in a downtown apartment with no yard or view. I was looking for “a place with a yard’ and “a room with a view.” Quietly, I set my intent out into the Universe and the Universe answered at exactly the right time. I’m moving on… The view and the yard are awesome. It is time for a change and I am so ready for it.

Moving is a wonderful thing because it opens the channels to new energy. The moment I stepped out of my car at my new place I felt like I was home. And I walked across the threshold of the back door, into the old mud room, I knew I was home. And then I say the view from the living room, and walked up the stairs to take in the view from the front bedroom. Ah… There’s no place like home. I had found my new home.  (more…)

Quote Of The Day: Pema Chodron

We can not avoid painful things in the pursuit of happiness. To push painful things down, away from the surface of our lives, leaves us to experience those painful things over and over again, until we take the time to work through those painful things…

“The innocent mistake that keeps us caught in our own particular style of ignorance, unkindness, and shut-downness is that we are never encouraged to see clearly what is, with gentleness. Instead, there’s a kind of basic misunderstanding that we should try to be better than we already are, that we should try to improve ourselves, that we should try to get away from painful things, and that if we could just learn how to get away from the painful things, then we would be happy.” ~ Pema Chodron

The longer we avoid dealing with our grief, our pain, our sadness, a misunderstanding, whatever the issue, the great the storm that brews in our lives. To choose happiness in our lives does not mean we can ignore that which makes us unhappy. Find closure, make peace, practice forgiveness…

The path to happiness is not always lined with flowers. The simple truth is that although happiness is a choice we can make, we must also work at happiness each day. I re-mind myself today and every day: I choose to be happy. I make happy happen. I see the path to happiness require my attention. I do the work to make certain that happiness flourishes in my heart and mind. I release striving, holding on and I practice forgiveness. I live a loving life. And so it is. ~ Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: My Life Is Rich

The universe lines up opportunities in our lives and are the vessel that carries them to fruition. I take things as they come, and strive each day to make the best of all things in my life. I practice gratitude daily. I find joy in the simple things. I accept what is, but I keep my dreams and goals alive in my heart and mind. I work towards my success daily, fully cognizant that my success is already apparent, for my life is rich. I affirm these things daily, gratitude, joy, success. I re-mind myself: I am abundant, I have love. I am abundant, I have money.
