Normal Things

Image
She hasn’t left the house in over four months—healing an active breed dog has been a lesson in patience, of which I have none, never have, but of love for her, my heart is always full.  So, today it was time. We relinquished all responsibilities and put Valkyrie in the car for a much needed return to normalcy—windows down, radio up, and a ride around her favorite spots gave us all a good soul recharge. It literally brought tears to my eyes.  Still the healing journey continues. Her exposed quick is slowly, slowly getting better. She’s still knuckling so any progress she makes is erased almost on a daily basis—again, a lesson in patience. But today, she was joyful and we were all happy, doing normal things which no one, especially I, will never take for granted.  I hope you all are well and being grateful for Life’s seemingly mundane things, they are the things worth living for, after all.  #gratitude #belgianmalinois #healingjourney #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dogstagram...

We Don’t Deserve Dogs

Image
The bird feeders have been empty for months. The lawnmower died, so the grass is overgrown. The mood in the house, heavy and stagnant—reeking of an infected wound that seems to have permeated every porous surface, its odor tattooed into my sinus cavity, forever intertwined with my amygdala, never to be forgotten.  Sweet amber eyes bore deeply into mine this morning as if to will me the strength to make it through another day, as if to say…you’ve got this. This precious soul, who I don’t deserve, whose existence has been an utter hell these last three months, gives me more than I could ever possibly give to her. Her love is perfect and unconditional. Her tail still wags and she still greets the day with lively enthusiasm of what will be—even though she suffers. In this, we can all learn a lesson from our beloved dogs.  So. Time to wag my tail and go greet the day, and it is beautiful.  #writer #blog #blogger #writersofinstagram #dogs #belgianmalinois #healing #injury #best...

The Shift

Image
Don’t let the events of the World distract you and steal your focus. It’s all a stage, smoke and mirrors. Breathe. Center. Remember, where focus goes, energy flows.  The shift is happening—this is our awakening—and if you don’t know what I’m talking about then you need to heed the call of your inner voice and connect with Spirit. This is THE time for amplified soul growth, for quantum leap soul growth. Be fully present in this moment and exclaim your gratitude to the Universe for Life!  We were born for this: to illuminate the darkness with our Light, to bring Hope to the hopeless, to release the curses and traumas of our ancestors stored deep within the walls of our double helix, to step fully into our Christ Consciousness and be consumed by unconditional Love and to experience the Oneness of All—Divine Source Energy. Everything outside of You is an illusion. Truth lies within.  You are loved and you are never alone. Be well. ♥️ #soulgrowth #spiritualawakening #awakening...

Dream

Image
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” - Poe The single best line Edgar Allan Poe ever penned, in my opinion—ominous and beautiful in its truth.  I dreamed dreams so perfect that I wished I’d never wake and lived nightmares so horrific I wished I’d die. Heaven and hell reside within us all, in dreams.  And what of waking from this dream within a dream? El vivir es dormir, el morir es despertar—to live is to sleep, to die is to awaken. We are fledgling spirits put to sleep in our youth who never dared dream that the whole Universe calls upon us to wake the power that lies within.  Make every moment in this beautiful realm your best dream. 

Meditation

Image
The house smells of palo santo, singing bowls at 528 Hz stream softly, the vibe is chill, my inner demons for the moment, silent. Holding Apan Mudra I begin my breath work (inhale), it’s been too long since my last meditation, time to detox and bring back balance (exhale).  I cannot explain the peace I feel while meditating. Unplugging from the Matrix and plugging into Divine Consciousness—feeling Oneness, Love, Joy, Beauty—I am reminded that THIS is the only thing that’s real. We are not of this World. We are merely passing through, learning, growing, evolving and then? Well, no one really knows for sure, but I don’t believe our adventures end with our last breath, perhaps they’re just beginning.  We all return to Source. Separation is a myth. You are never alone. Love is all there is and all we have is Now. Be blessed.    

No Worries

Hey, that thing you’re worried about—stop. Don’t waste another ounce of your precious energy on it. Instead, take this moment and ask yourself: am I loved? am I healthy? is there a roof over my head, food in my fridge, gas in my car, a little money in the bank? If you can say yes to any of these questions, then you have riches beyond measure and that worrisome thing, doesn’t matter, not even a little.  Live in Love friends, not fear. Be happy every moment. Do more of what nourishes your soul. Elevate your thoughts, take some deep breaths and smile—laugh with the purity of your inner child and marvel at the wonder of who you are—you are a tittle of our Divine Source, our Cosmic Consciousness, our Loving Creator and you are as beautiful and infinite as the Universe.  So stop worrying, none of it really matters anyway.   Always, be well. 

Be Kind, Be Well

  ♥️ this ♥️ Just had to re-share… I want you to look at this photo.  I mean -really- look at it.  What do you see? Two women. Two battles. Two hearts. Two souls. Two bodies.  When you look at this photo, try not to judge.  Instead, try to understand that we all face our own battles every day.  Some we might share with others, some we keep to ourselves. They might be obvious. They might not be. Everyone is facing something they struggle with.  EVERYONE.  And no matter what separates your battles from hers, his battles from theirs, we are ALL human. Be kind ❤ ************************* this photo touched my soul this photo moved me deeply  I have had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life—as an adult, I have been a binge eater, growing to nearly 300 pounds and I have starved myself down to 117 on a 5’9” frame. Even though I am finally comfortable in my own skin, I will always struggle with my body image, as most women do, whether or...
