Sergei Polunin Dances to Hozier’s ‘Take Me To Church’

February 12, 2015

This last Sunday, Annie Lennox and Hozier wowed the Grammy audience performing Hozier‘s breakout hit ‘Take Me To Church’ coupled with Annie Lennox singing Screamin Jay Hawkins ‘I Put a Spell On You,’ which is on her latest CD, Nostalgia.

Hozier and Lennox teaming was all the rage on the internet, managing to go viral very quickly on social media websites, Twitter and Facebook. That was where I first saw it, as I don’t have cable. The short finale clip of Annie Lennox was what drew me to find a video of the full performance, and when I did, I discovered Hozier. I was quickly drawn into the lyrics and arrangement of ‘Take To Me To Church,’ and Hozier’s performance.

The latest mashup of Hozier’s brilliant song, ‘Take Me To Church’ is this incredible dance performance by Russian ballet dancer, Sergei Polunin.

Daily Affirmations: Heed the Calling

February 11, 2015

Today, I re-mind myself that there is no right time that a certain calling in life will arise. We may feel as though we missed our connection some time ago, that we passed up our chances. However, when something is meant to be, the calling will arise again, and again until we embark on the path. That calling must be answered. Fears must be cast aside. The path must be followed. This is learning, this is growing, this is expanding the possibility of who we are in the world. We must heed the calling. Only then can we fly…

Daily Affirmations: Letting Go

February 5, 2015

storm sandy pointIt is very difficult sometimes to let go. We hold on to many issues and past transgressions in our lives, that serve only to keep storms brewing in our minds. And then, in our moments of weakness, those things of the past creep into the framework of our mind and the storm clouds blow in.

Today, I re-mind myself that the process of letting going is an ongoing practice, and forgiveness is a major part of that process. Each time I begin to think of the past and lay blame, I recognize that in order to let go, I must forgive all, including myself, for the past that did not go as I had hoped it would. The past is past. We can not change that. We can in the present work daily on letting go and forgiveness. If we don’t, we keep storms brewing in our hearts and minds.

Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: The Ebb and Flow of our Lives

February 4, 2015

sandy point facing southAs the ocean’s tides draw out each it is a splendid reminder of the ebb and flow of our lives. Waiting for the tide to draw back or to come in reminds us daily of both the need to accept the ebb and flow of life, and the importance of practicing patience in our lives.

Today, I re-mind myself that there is a time for everything to come to fruition, and that time is not set by our clock, but the clock of the universe. The goals that I set, the desires that I resolve to bring to life, will all come in time. Patience is required to see these and all things through. Change is constant, I know I must ebb and flow with it.

Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: We Are All Connected

February 3, 2015

3 dories
Today, I re-mind myself that we are all connected. That connection may be strong or tenuous at best, but the connection exists. How we relate to others, how we utilize our connection to each other, is our choice. However, when we choose to connect, to share experience and circumstance, to help each other within our connections, we make our live and the life of others betters. In this we increase our abundance and the abundance of others.

Namaste… Pamela
