For My Friends Worried About 2012.

This takes time to watch, can be a bit slow, but he will help eliminate your fears.

Moving Day!

I'm sure most of have moved at least once in our lifetime. I confess to far too many moves. My last move was about three years ago. I tell everyone my next move is across the street (to beautiful little cemetery) or about one mile from here to a nursing home.

I have also helped others. Just last week I assisted a dear friend in her transition to a new space. Of course this was during the largest snow storms we have had in years! Something I am sure her son will never let her forget. While it was a lot of work, it also had many moments of fun and lightheartedness. It also was a nice diversion from shoveling.

But moving has taught me a few things also.

What seems like a great idea in the first place, becomes less appealing with every additional box you carry.While you are looking forward to the newness and changes it might bring, you can't help but wonder if you are making a mistake and will miss the old place. Things feel like they will never be organized again, or ready for the movers. You experience a sense of joy for your new space, while morning the loss of the old. You definitely under estimate things a lot: like the amount of work it will take and the time and energy required; before, during and after the move. Plus finding enough energy to deal with the issue of unforeseen problems, which have a way of always popping up.

Which on moving day leaves one to appear......like a dear in caught in headlights!

But over the years I learned this little secret.

You carry your home with you, like a turtle and it's shell. It doesn't matter where or how often you move. It doesn't even matter if you have a permanent home.

Because home really is where the heart is.

What we long for is a sense of security, a sense of love, a place where we feel nurtured. 

The secret is......We carry that inside us...it is your spirit and can provide all you seek. It goes where you go and requires only that you ask for assistance. When you do....you are welcomed home! 

No matter where you go or what you have in life you can always go home. 

Just connect with your spiritual haven.

Fear Of Failure?

Always entertaining as a chef, Julia Child also shared some amazing insights while she cooked. Although she speaks to cooking, her wisdom is easily applied to life. So, when she says the word "cook", substitute the word "live".

Nothing I could say would address our fear of trying something different that she does in this short clip.

Often when I meet with clients the idea of change comes up; usually met with resistance.

Resistance is a cover for fear of change, failure of attempt, or lack of intent in the first place.

The usual comeback is, they will "try" to change.

When someone tells me "they will try"....I hear:
Ya, that sounds good, I just want to get the heck out of here, it always worked saying it before, and ....I don't believe in myself.

My response....forget the trying...to me that means....you would like to change, if it was easy; but most life changes require self discipline and taking a risk.

Fortunately, life is always presenting opportunity for change,the universe constantly providing new life choices. Sometimes these occur gently in life, sometimes they are forced upon us.

Spiritually we are designed for change, as a human.... not so much.

Do not allow age, financial situation, perceived family obligations, or the position you see yourself holding in life, stop you from being your authentic self.

Intent....the most powerful force in the Universe. Use your power wisely!
