A Time for Extreme Self-Love
This is a time for extreme self-love and self-care, and I like all of us, need some extra special love right now. I’m trying to be strong for my kids so they don’t worry about me, but the truth is that I’m a bundle of emotions. I have moments where I’m totally stressed out, on edge, anxious and then I have moments where I’m feeling calm and joyful and I know everything will be all right.
I think that practicing self-love & self-care right now is more important than ever. Loving ourselves and caring for ourself has to be an essential part of our daily routine. It’s not a luxury, it’s an essential part in keeping ourselves healthy, strong, and maintaining a healthy immune system.
One of my self-love practices is, I write myself a ‘love note’ and I like to place it on the end table in my hanging out room so I can see it throughout the day. Every time my eyes land on – hello self I love you – it makes me smile, uplifts me and fills me with joy. I wrote this a couple of months ago, and I’m still looking at it every day, and it’s still nourishing me.
If you need some extra special love right now, try this – write yourself a love note – place it someplace where you’ll see it throughout the day, it can be anything that makes you feel good. Your own words, a phrase from a book, lyrics from a song…anything that will elevate your spirit, make you smile, feel good, feel happy and fill you with joy.
Buddha said “You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
And now more than ever we all need to do whatever we can to empower ourselves and give ourselves self-love & self-care to get us through this time. And let’s remember that this will pass and – Everything will be alright.

A Little Beauty for the Heart
Sunday blessings friends.
During this trying time, I like most all of us, am trying to stay calm, be aware of what’s going on, stay home, which I’m actually quite happy to do, since I’m a homebody at heart, and dealing with the situation the best I can.
They say that looking at beautiful things can improve the quality of your life and create happiness within. I think that we should give ourselves something beautiful to look at every day and especially now, reflect on the beauty around you and nourish your heart.
Yesterday I spent time looking through some of my recent photos I don’t think I’ve shared, and found these that made me feel good, happy and smile. I think that flowers have that affect on most of us. A connection with nature that uplifts our spirit. And strangely enough I feel a connection to the entire universe, a oneness.
And here are the boys 🙂 they say, hi.
I hope these photos brought you a moment of calm, beauty and joy.
Love, prayers and many blessings!

Do We Need External Validation
The greatest gift that we can give to ourself is to know ourself and believe in our own self-worth. I think that’s one of our purposes in this life, to grow within and uncover the layers and layers to get to the core of who we are, believe and know our true authentic selves.
How much do you hold yourself back because you don’t believe in your ability?
Too often we have a great idea but we don’t unfold it because we fear that it’s not good enough. We fear rejection or criticism, and our ideas and dreams never come to light. We disempower ourselves and doubt our own self-wroth, we sit and wait for that validation, for someone to come and tell us how wonderful we are, how brilliant our ideas are. We yearn for that outside confirmation that will give us that go ahead sign, yes you can do it validation, before we dare to go after what we want or share our dreams with the world. And yes, it’s great when others validate us and affirm our self-worth and tell us how wonderful we are, that’s all good and great, take it, thank them but that should not be what validates us. Our validation should be from within ourselves, we need to know it in our own hearts, in our bones, that’s where our power comes from, that’s where the magic lies.
We are sacred beings and we are worthy of all that our heart wants and desires. We’re a star within the cosmos, we each have great value and we each are worthy, just as we are. We need to not only know that, but embody it, believe it, we are the miracle we’re looking for.
When we know our own self worth we are empowered with our own self validation.

How I Set Myself Up for a Successful Outcome
On the 18th I’m scheduled for a knee replacement surgery, I’ll be in the hospital overnight and then I’ll be in a rehab center, I don’t know for how long before I’m able to come home.
I’m not going to lie, yes I am concerned and I am at times flipping out, but at the same time I know that everything will be ok, the surgery will be a success, and I will get through this and will be perfect and happy and grateful that I’m after it all, and everything turned out great.
I’m trying to hold on to my deepest beliefs here, that what we put out into the universe with our thoughts and feelings is what we receive back from the universe. So I’m envisioning me after everything, healthy and well and feeling so happy. Seeing myself walking around my neighborhood, stopping and taking photos. Thanking our Great Mystery our Divine Mother, my angels and all the celestial beings who are with me helping me and blessing me. Giving thanks that the surgery was a success and I’m now able to travel. I’m on a cruise. I’m climbing mountains YEAH!!! (well maybe the mountains thing will stay in my imagination :), and I’m feeling extremely happy and giving thanks that I’m healed and well. I’m blessing and thanking the surgeon and his team, and all the people who helped me. Thank you – Thank you – Thank you.
When I decided to bring my rose quartz crystal with me to have its loving energy, I wanted to take a photo for this blog post and the funny thing is that the crystal kept on falling out of my hand and I couldn’t hold on to it to snap a picture. After about the fifth time I finally got the message, LOL, I was using the wrong background. The minute I realized this, my mothers needlepoint with the Hummingbirds that she made for me years ago came into my mind. There was more to this than just my crystal. The Hummingbird is bringing the message of hope and jubilation. Of joy, renewal, healing and more. And of course my darling mother letting me know she’s with me, watching over me, all will be well. A sign of hope to take with me.
Life is not always sunshine and flowers and magical fluffy stuff. With every new age come new challenges. I’m 72 now and my body is not what it was when I was 20, or 30 or even 60, or last year. And so, I’m moving with the flow, holding on to my vision of wellness, being grateful, having faith in the process and allowing it to unfold in the way that it’s supposed to – divinely.
Blessings
