[success]The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. ~ Lao Tzu[/success] If you woke up this morning feeling down, blah, glum, blue, dismal, low, dejected, cranky, or gloomy…there’s a silver lining in that cloud. Why do we feel the way we feel?  Because of the vibration we’re in.  We use the word ‘feeling’ to describe our conscious awareness of whatever vibration we’re currently operating from. Knowing how we feel is a necessary step to raising our awareness, because the secret to how we achieve our goals, the way we enjoy greater success, happier relationships or more money, lies in the level of awareness we’re operating from. Without awareness we have no power to choose, to respond, to change. Stop living life the wrong way round We’ve all learned to live life through our senses, sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.  We look at…

Buckminster Fuller”] Have you made commitments recently and not kept them? Do you say what you mean? Do you do what you say you’ll do? Do you have high standards? Do you walk the talk, or just talk the talk? If we’re not opting for integrity, aligning our walk with our talk, we are likely to be pinching off our deepest connection with our authentic selves. For many of us, this disconnection can lead to feeling fearful and anxious about life, create stress and diminish living a successful life. It’s never too soon…

[success]Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.–Joseph Campbell[/success] This journey of life that we’re all on can be brilliant at one moment and drop us into a dark hole the next. It’s the one step forward, two steps back syndrome. And it can happen to every one of us. Fear not, I have a tip or two that might help. Used to be that I thought growth would be a continuous upward progression.  ‘Till I discovered for myself it most definitely wasn’t that.  And if you’ve found yourself slipping backwards in the making and shaping of the life you want…read on…and remember, I mess up, so you don’t have to.  You can thank me later. It can happen to even to the most aware and awake beings, those times when it’s easy to believe that what’s happening now, our current situation, is all we…

[success]Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them.  You will find that they haven’t half the strength you think they have. ~ Norman Vincent Peale.[/success] What if I told you that last week I had an experience that didn’t show me in a very good light? What if I told you that there are days when practicing what I preach can be hard?  And sometimes I miss the mark, sometimes I’m…well…a little off? What if I told you that there are times when growth can turn right round and smack us squarely between the eyes? We want it, we’re moving happily along the road to experiencing a more wonderful and noble us, experimenting with our life on the path to growth, when wham, out of the clear blue sky, lightening strikes. Metaphorically speaking. Has it ever happened to you?  I can’t be in this all by my lonesome,…

[success] Life is creation. Self and circumstances are the raw material. ~ Dorothy M. Richardson [/success] Have you ever thought that you weren’t all that creative?  Or worse, had someone tell you, you’re so not creative? My brother used to tell me I couldn’t sing, my sister said a garden gnome had more rhythm than I did, so I shouldn’t bother to dance and the art teacher mentioned on more than one occasion, that people’s hands and arms weren’t usually twice the size of their bodies.  Funny, she didn’t see me as a budding Picasso.  Maybe I should have made the eyes bigger instead of the hands. I began to suffer from CSCDCP syndrome. Okay, I made that up, but having accepted that I couldn’t sing, couldn’t dance, couldn’t paint worth a lick, and basically couldn’t do anything that I deemed ‘creative’,  I called it CSCDCP  for short, and it was my…
