Living your truth, continued...

Oprah inspired the article, Living Your Truth, along with Deepak's insight from their latest 21-Day Meditation series, Finding your flow. I listened to the first 3 days and, so far, I am happy to be able to participate. 

I love the analogy of the garden that I use in the article. I plant a garden most every summer and most years I get a lot of vegetables from it. The year my dad died, my heart and soul wasn't really into the work that it takes to get a wealthy abundance from it. It was practically barren that year even though I took the time to plant.

Why, because I didn't work the soil enough or go out there and pull the weeds often or as needed. I mostly depended on Mother Nature to water it and this wasn't enough. At this time, my heart was hurting or as I said in the article, my light was dull. My spirit didn't seem to be present in my life. Living in the moment hurt too much. It took time for me to gather my courage and face this pain but once I was able to do this or weed my garden, so to speak, I started to see growth again.

Life can be daunting when we are not pushing back and focusing on the the good stuff. We all have to remember it comes down to a choice of what we want to pay attention to; when we fuel negativity it gets bigger, when we fuel positivity it grows. 

Which are your fueling? Is it making your light brighter or dowsing it? Leave me a note an let's talk about it.

Examiner article

Over the last few weeks, I've been ill and it has played out in my articles. Last week I felt like I hit rock bottom when I vented about being sick of everything including my illness. Monday I woke up and decided I was taking my control back. I closed my eyes to a silent prayer, took a few minutes to embrace the health I did have (i.e. I wasn't nauseated and I didn't have a fever), and dedicated my day to creativity and the gym. This was the thing I loved most and the thing I loathed most. In case you're wondering, the gym isn't my friend but I realize it is a necessary evil.

Each and every day this week I've worked on a vision board collage project (dedicated to the well being of my boys) and I've went to the gym. And, as each day comes and goes, I'm getting more productive and fitting more in between!

It is amazing to me that our thoughts are so powerful, especially in the AM when we're starting out the day. I'm learning to open my eyes to purpose while opening the door to success (each and every day).

What are your thoughts about purposeful living. Leave me a note.
