A Sun Shiny Day in the "Oasis"

Sitting in the back yard after a long day, decompressing from activities and events, I began to smile.

Having a space that is soothing, relaxing and easy on the eyes is important to rejuvenate and recharge. My backyard is just that place for me. Flower beds to the right and left with trees on the back fence.
A bird feeder being constantly visited by cardinals and a bird bath for their enjoyment. The seating area is setup for great conversations and enjoying the flowering of the plants in the yard as well as all around the seating area. The sound of flowing water from the fountain is both visually appealing and mentally relaxing. Listening to the water flowing is soothing and invites anyone in the area to just take a deep breath and enjoy!

Today I sat in a different seat and saw things from a different perspective. The blue sky with just the right amount of clouds floating by and the American Flag swaying in the gentle breeze. Perfect timing as tomorrow the US celebrates the 4th of July!

All the days activities and stress released got to thinking just how profound changing one small routine got my mental wheels in motion.

Creatures of habit most of us are, routine and staying in comfort zone is what most of us all do best.

Something as simple as changing a seat on the back patio can shift both experience and comfort.

What small gesture can you do to mix up a routine?

When a small change has been made what did you observe?

Taking small steps of change would you be open to doing this once a week, once a day ?

(ex: go left instead of right; use the right burner instead of left; let someone else drive and be in control; make the call instead of waiting )

All great accomplishments start with simple adjustments and taking one step at a time, it's a process.

The celebration of the 4th of July is a reminder to all that we are free to choose the life we wish to live.
Allow your inner strength, your inner beauty along with all the experience in life to allow for reaching for the sky - reaching for those dreams!

Find a place that is your "Oasis" and enjoy the simplistic rejuvenation of all that is important:

 "You"

Time for Me Now Inspiration ~ Confusion

Is it the upcoming transition from summer to fall?   Perhaps it is the Full Moon?

 What is with all the swirling confusion going on lately?  Do you feel it or have friends that are in a state of confusion?  Do you have questions on transition, recent events or what should I do next?

Enough already, right?  My recent experiences have demonstrated that there is a lot of energy swirling out there that is having an impact on so many people.  The impact of our indecision and confusion can lead to the emotions of feeling anxiety and stress.  Who enjoys those feelings? I certainly don’t, how about you?

The symbolism that came to mind was of the dragonfly. The confusion state or concern over making a decision or determining next steps tends to invoke a sense of distrust within ourselves.  A sense that we don’t have the answers when we actually do! Sometimes the answer is buried so far deep because of the confusion of outside influences or the need to please others. STOP!!! TAKE A DEEP BREATH!! LET IT GO….

First, you do have the answer, that’s right! Trust yourself, take the situation, problem or question, and write it down on paper. Walk away, do something fun or just do something to get your body moving and vibration higher. Then when you are ready walk back and take a look at what you have written.

What is the first answer to the question that comes up?  There it is, it is that simple……. Ahhh, but no you say it can’t be because blah blah blah…. I get it!! I really do, I use to be a huge processor from way back.  If I do this, then here are all the scenarios of outcome, if I don’t then blah blah blah, you get it. 

Yes, it is always good to invoke due diligence however once all facts are in play, it is what your “gut”, your heart, your intuition speaks to you- the answer is right in the center of your soul – trust you!

Back to the dragonfly! The message of the dragonfly is that there is a deeper message coming to the surface, to pay attention to what outcome we want to have. The dragonfly symbolism is: Strength, Peace and Harmony….. 

Time for me now to wish you Strength, Peace and Harmony!
