Are You Queen In Your Life

Can you treat yourself like a queen for one day?

Can you put yourself first –

Love yourself unconditionally –

Accept your thighs, your every wrinkle, your not having a good hair day,

your pimples –

Can you treat yourself like a queen for one day?

Give yourself permission to love you – no guilt –

Feed your mind, body, and soul with thoughts of acceptance – love – praise –

Have only thoughts that uplift you, encourage you, praise you, fill you with confidence –

Can you step outside your fears, leave them by the wayside for just one day, and see what happens? You can always pick them up and carry them with you if you want to.

Can you treat yourself like a queen for one day?

Look at all you have accomplished with awe, stand tall, be proud – believe in yourself – give yourself a hug –

Can you forgive yourself?

Can you trust your heart?

Can you stand in courage?

Believe in magic?

Value yourself –

Feel your spirit dancing, singing –

Can you wash yourself with the sun?

Walk barefoot on the grass –

Breathe in the air –

Let the energy of the moon envelop you –

Can You…?

Can you be the queen in your life for just one day?

Let me know how this felt for you, are you the queen in your life, did you feel a shift within? Leave a comment below, love to hear from you.

For me, I love November, it’s my birth month, and I’ve made it the month for inner self reflection. But, I also feel that November is the month that invites us all to spend some time to reflect on ourselves. For looking within and getting naked to uncovering the truth of who we are.

November asks us to remove the layers that are blocking our inner growth and allowing the beauty of who we are to shine through.

hello november

Look within yourself – What are you holding onto that is no longer serving you? What old hurt are you still carrying around with you? What stories are you telling yourself that are keeping you small, in pain, blocked? Where do you need to love yourself more? What are you not giving yourself?…

Get naked to your question, don’t embellish it with thoughts that will cover up your true feelings. It’s only if you can see yourself in the naked truth, that you can remove what doesn’t work for you, what is blocking you, what is keeping you from love . Open up that space to allow new energies to fill you – new energies that will support you on your journey, that will uplift you, inspire you, heal you, that will carry you in gentle ways into a higher place of inner wisdom. Of course you can look within yourself anytime of the year, but doing it now in November helps to clear the way for the intentions you want to set for the new year, and for a new vision for yourself.

So give yourself the gift of inner self-reflection, and clear the way for opening up to the magical gifts the universe is holding out for you.

Come and share your thoughts in the comments below, love to hear from you.

Raise Your Vibration With This

If you’re carrying the ‘I’m not good enough’ gremlin with you today, you’re giving away your inner power and lowering your energetic field.

So step into action, harness your power and raise your inner energy with this affirmation.

I AM WONDERFULLY FANTASTIC!

Desert Beauty In My Neighborhood

“Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, Grow! Grow!”~Talmud

This has just been one of those weeks where life happens and the week got away from me and before I knew it here we are and I have written nothing that I can share. So although I don’t have any inspiring uplifting words for you, I hope you do enjoy some photos taken from around my neighborhood.

If you don’t live in the desert here’s a little taste of the beauty that surrounds me.

I love clay pots. This one is actually on the front lawn of one of my neighbors, photograph taken while on a nature walk with my granddaughter.

There are many different varieties of succulent plants. There’s the Silver, there’s the Blue. There’s the Graptopetalum which because of their plump rosettes they give visual weight and are great for the border of large containers. And did you know that succulents are a very low maintenance plant requiring water only once every 7-10 days or when soil is dry? And sorry I forgot the name of these so if you know, please post in the comments below.

I found this bug outside on my plant in my back yard just standing there like this for a while. I’m not sure what kind of bug this is, but if you know share in the comments please.

Bench in front of Cattle Baron Steak & Seafood Restaurant, love their salad bar. Photo taken when out to dinner with my granddaughters.

These are growing on the road right outside my house, I’m thinking Prickly Pear but not sure, if you know please leave the name in the comments.

And I can’t end without mentioning these gorgeous butterflies who come to visit every summer, this one is outside the front of my house.

No matter where you live you have a neighborhood, so go out, take a walk around, give some gratitude for the beauty that surrounds you and charm your soul. I am grateful for the magic I see all around me every day and I’m delighted to share with you a bit of our desert love.

Feel free to share your photos and if you know the names of the cacti and bug, let me know in the comments below.

Are You Keeping Yourself Small

“The song that you’ve been holding back is the cause of your heart-ache. Don’t wait! You’ve got to sing your song as if your whole life depends on It.” ~Michael Beckwith

What are you gaining by playing small.

By hiding yourself away.

By not stepping fully into the circle of life.

Cacti green.jpeg

What are you gaining by playing small.

By not picking up responsibility for your life.

By waiting for someone else to come along and decide for you.

By living inside guilt and shame and fear and blame and judgement and limitations…

Those are heavy dark energies to be carrying around with you.

They stand in the way of the light, they’re blocking the song of your soul.

And the truth is that, only you can remove the fears, only you can remove the guilt, only you can forgive yourself and others, only you can bring yourself out of the disempowering dark and into the higher light. Only you can toss those dark companions you’re walking with to the wayside.

Only you can “sing your song” as Michael Beckwith says.

Staying small does not empower you, staying small keeps you hidden behind the wall of – who do you think you are, stop being a show off, what do you know, you’re not good enough…staying small keeps you in the field of victim, keeping the magic away from you.

Red single.jpeg

Only you can break through

Only you can say YES to your life

Only you can declare you’re ready

Ready

To live the life you are meant to live.

Only you can be in charge of your life, and actually small or grand consciously or not, you already are. Only you can direct, only you can transform, only you can move the walls and only you can step through them and cross the threshold into the light and –

only you can open the door to your salvation.

We each have a special purpose – a magical song inside us. We each have talents and gifts that we were blessed with that are unique to us, that only we have to give. But, when we play small, we’re hiding from our greatness, we’re not living in the enchantment of our days, we’re not honoring ourselves – we’re not living our souls purpose.

Are you feeling like you’re holding yourself back, keeping yourself small? Come share your thoughts in the comments below, love to chat.
