ReSolve to gEt ReAl!

Check out this short blog: http://www.healyourlife.com/blogs/wayne-dyer-blog/resolve-to-get-real

Now this is what I'm talkin about!  Living in the moment is the best way to be.  It is the most authentic way to live as well.  Saying and doing, however, are 2 different things;) This time of change and resolution-making is exciting and refreshing for me, but I need to remember to KISS (keep it simple sweetie). Wayne says "your mind resists the notion of trying to live your life in long stretches, when it is patently impossible to do so".  So that's why my long term goals are never realized:)  It's not my inability to persevere.  Makes sense, right? Right?

Clearly it's not much of a news flash that we should be taking it "one day at a time" (can't help but see Mackenzie Phillips in my head when I say that!). However, when worrying about our children's future we are certainly not living in the moment! Really though, every mom worries, right?  We are supposed to, no?  I love and am often inspired by Wayne, Louise, & the Hay House clan of intuitive writers.  Do you think maybe they could come out with a "Parenting in the Moment" book?  That sure would be helpful.  No doubt.  In this moment (and for the previous thousand moments for that matter) I'm hoping for some guidance on how to do that in my role as a parent.  Maybe if keep it in my thoughts and see it happening, it will.  Via the law of attraction, of course...

So much to learn, but I'm taking it one moment at a time.

Maybe it's not always so much as a "little voice" but a repeating pattern.  After coming across the books "The Master Key" and "A Course in Miracles" several times in my reading, listening (I love audio books), and online travels...I took it as a sign that I should read them.  It's a go...my dh gave me a kindle and while searching the kindle books I came across a book about The Master Key for a whopping 99 cents!  So I pushed buy and amazon's whispernet (don't you just love the sound of that--marketing at it's finest!) delivered it wirelessly in seconds! 

The kindle is addictive for me.  For someone that really never got into reading books, this slim reading machine has changed my tune.  Maybe it is the convenience of having all my books in a lightweight portable device.  Or could it be that I really do have a sensory aversion to paper and turning pages like my oldest son?  Then there is the handy little option of making the text large enough to actually read without magnifiers on my face:)  Last night I could actually offer Reiki with one hand while the other was holding and turning pages on my new favorite toy.  The hardest part of reading for me now is  NOT to read all the time.  There is housework, laundry, and cooking to be done for crying out loud!  Not to mention spending time with the boys...a dear son of mine who is often bored, especially during track out, wants me to play backgammon with him now.  When I enthusiastically suggest going on an adventure via a book he scowls. Though if I would let him play Every Word on the sweet slim machine...he would... for hours. If only I could afford another kindle that I could give him maybe he would find reading as charming as I do now.

Master Secret here I come, open to any new consciousness that blossoms.

Namaste...

LISTEN!

My first post...
I will have few words in text, but many that know me would likely say that is not my true nature "in living color".  I am the one that never stops talking...or at least I was. My words here won't be so much as "organized" and refined like the many extremely eloquent writers out there across the net. But this blog is just an effort to get them down or out, however you want to look at it.

Geese, this is hard! Getting started that is. Ok, I'm going to get through this first post...

I find myself in my early to mid 40's doing some morfing, so to speak.   I don't feel like I have much to say anymore.  Maybe it is that I'm more sensing about everything and I'm "inside" trying to listen to it all!  I started making a "shift", as Wayne Dyer (love the "human"ness of that man!) says, back when I was 39.  My usual sunny disposition (or maybe state of oblivion?) started to dissipate and didn't come back.  This prompted my "go-out-and-get-um" personality to search for something new.  I guess the little voice inside said "you need a change".  So I listened.  We packed up (my willing dh, thank goodness, and 3 little boys. Then 5, 3, and 18 mos) and headed a bit south.   5 years, a couple of Reiki trainings, several evaluations (for my children, but I'm sure for me they could find a label too), and a big huge 24 inch Mac screen later (LOVE it), here I am!

I did it.  My first post.  Yes, looking back at it, it has a ton of commas, parentheses, and quotations (I haven't even started using my favorite, the ":)" typed smiley face!).  But I guess that is the way I think.  And if I spend the time it would take to "grammarfy" my thoughts for text, I wouldn't have or take the time to blog.  So here it is RAW.  Oh, and yes, there will be what my family used to lovingly call "Amyisms".  You know, words like "grammarfy".  Made up, of course.  But when I can't pull an english word from my mental dictionary to suit me, I make one up!  Serves the purpose...usually...maybe?

Namaste.
