Following My Heart

Thank You Life, Mother Earth, and God:  I am bursting with love and good vibes and listening to my heart a fruited in my deeper connection to her.  Because of this deeper connection a bond is being strengthened and is much easier to tune into now a days quite effortlessly.  This gives me immeasurable happiness that gives me tears of happiness.  Oh, I know that may sound cheesy, however, it really does.  Practice makes perfect and I realize now how much things that like knowledge, love, trust, and things of the sort are as much strengthened by exercising them as the body is.  Everything is connected by likeness to make life a bit more simple in its seeming complexities on every plane of existence.

I went to this convention, Conscious Life Expo, on Saturday and attended some amazing Free Lectures that come with the day pass, what a treat to my body, mind, and soul indeed!

I see now this is most likely a big reason for my lighted joy- the lectures were amazing and several of them had enlightening group meditations/healing, which completely activated every inspiration within me.

My Heart always knows the way before I do, that is why I follow Her- especially when it doesn't make sense.

Thanks Be!!!!!!!

NIKOLA TESLA

“When the great truth accidentally revealed and experimentally confirmed is fully recognized, that this planet, with all its appalling immensity, is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball and that by this fact many possibilities, each baffling imagination and of incalculable consequence, are rendered absolutely sure of accomplishment; when the first plant is inaugurated and it is shown that a telegraphic message, almost as secret and non-interfereable as a thought, can be transmitted to any terrestrial distance, the sound of the human voice, with all its intonations and inflections, faithfully and instantly reproduced at any other point of the globe, the energy of a waterfall made available for supplying light, heat or motive power, anywhere — on sea, or land, or high in the air — humanity will be like an ant heap stirred up with a stick: See the excitement coming!”

- Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla, he is the reason the word genius was created.  His work has always intrigued me and this year it is my intention to read some of his works.  It's as if his passion and love transfer whenever I read anything from him- even a quote, that is how profound and electric he is, which is appropriate being that he is the true founder of channeling electricity...among other things.  

Ray LaMontagne is AWESOME!!!

Pandora is playing as I enjoy my breakfast of my cheese omelette, avocado, toast, and bananas on the side that my lovely little sister prepared for me(she is 19)  I'm looking at my room and deciding what needs to go, stay, be moved.  And then something beautiful happens.  I hear  Trouble by Ray LaMontagne for the fist time.  Here is the link and some other ones because I am completely captivated now.

I feel like my life just improved by hearing his voice.  He is such an old soul.  I am really happy that he listened to his heart and started singing from working at a shoe factory.

Happy New Year

New Year Coming

I am going to start thinking of the ways to rework my life and get things in as much order as possible before the new year so I can have a clean slate.

I have very good feelings for 2011

"...Challenge makes you discover the gifts within you..." -Michael Beckwith during a lecture at CSUN

I went to a lecture at CSUN this past year to hear Michael Beckwith speaking and that is one of the transforming things he had said. I had forgotten about it and facebook had this application where they compiled various status updates from over the year and I came across it again. At just the right timing as it always happens that way.

Many challenges have come to me this year and they all have and are continuing to push me forward...or would the correct thing be to say inward.... Well in all reality it could always be worse and yet it could always be better as well. I believe everything is all in life's lessons and plans anyways. I feel like times seem to be harder when obstacles comes because the obstacles change the equilibrium that I was riding on beforehand. It's all in learning. Sometimes circumstances simply push me into certain emotions like tears, sadness, anger, depression, happiness, laughter, joy, smiling, peace. I suppose now as I grow as a human it does get easier to bounce back to the center...or maybe I just give it over to God more quickly now.

I ponder many things...I enjoy pondering. Sometimes it does me good and sometimes I come to the point where I give it to God. The truth is that I really cannot handle anything on my own- NOTHING...that's why I give it to God as I understand Him. My relationship with God today is my saving grace. I have tailored it to me- and I appreciate all religions and all facets of life, knowings, and understandings. All that I've learned thus far has given such a substantial degree of peace of mind, heart, body, and soul. I am truly and ever grateful to be in this place today because I know all the other ways I have felt and been otherwise.

So yes, it is true. Challenge has made me discover the gifts within me.

It's been awhile

I realize today how sacred it is, right where I stand. All of the ancestors that came before me that I could BE today. The amazing lineage which I am proud to be a strand of. The support which helps me stand and breathe when I am weak. The sunrise and sunset- the shining moon and stars. The trees and dirt. Even the concrete, freeways and buildings.

I am grateful for the bittersweet because it gives me contrast for the savory honey. I am grateful for the sorrow because when I come to the joy I know where I came from. And I know that even in the midst of darkness- one persons light can make it melt away. I know this because of my Mother's, Grandma's, and Great-Grandma's hugs and kisses. This is why I have a waterfall of love to share with the world because it is so given to me. I know only this. This is all I need.

Love

I feel love in my veins...like the blood within me...it sustains me...is me...I know of so much beauty, light, grace, mercy, blessings, which are bestowed upon me every moment of every days...thoughts are for paupers of the poor in mind...I am more wise when I have no thoughts...wisdom is knowing...Love is knowing...and I know him so well that I hold fast to this knowing...even though he is not yet here- he is because I love him.
