Oh would some power the gift to give us, to see ourselves as others see us. ~ Robert Burns Yes I translated it from the actual Scottish which talks about gifties and gies because even I, a Scottish lassie, have to think about it and I didn’t want to impose the mysteries of the Scots language on you! I’m nice like that. How do I know if I have negative beliefs, when I’m not aware of them? I was asked this recently and thought it such a great question that I needed to write about it. Whilst pondering the question the words of Robert Burns…that old Scottish poet got stuck in my head. Rabbie Burns, as he’s known in the land of his birth, is a great reminder of how your world is exactly the way it is because it mirrors precisely the beliefs you hold. And it’s pretty easy…
Life getting you down a bit? This guest post from Tess Marshall of the Bold Life might help. Tess is our Encourager of the month for April and we couldn’t have chosen a more fearless encourager if we’d tried. Tess is my go-to-gal for tips and here’s a few to help us face our fears and live life to the fullest. I have prisms in my glasses because I see double; my eyes don’t line up correctly. Yesterday, I went to a new doctor for an eye exam because it had been a few years since I had a new prescription. When the doctor finished, he suggested that I get eye muscle surgery. I was taken by complete surprise; I was shocked. I thought he was crazy. I immediately said “no.” I didn’t let him explain. I didn’t ask questions. The thought of someone messing with my eyes terrified me.…
” What do we lose by another’s good fortune? Let us celebrate with them, or strive to emulate them. That should be our desire and determination.” Sai Baba Most of us are aware that we’re part of something much greater than ourselves and we celebrate it. But how many remember to simply ‘celebrate you’! We’re all part of the whole and each thing we do for one another, each step we take in our personal growth, each success we have, each kindness we perform contributes to the well being of the whole. Something that calls each and every one of us to a higher level of consciousness to a greater and grander self evolution. Today I’m celebrating my love of evolution…I’m celebrating you. The person you are now versus the one you used to be. I’m celebrating the evolution of yourself. We’re all constantly in the process of becoming.…
Our Encourager of the month is Julie Barrett from A Clear Sign. [success]One of the virtues of being very young is that you don’t let the facts get in the way of your imagination. ~ Sam Levenson[/success] Julie follows the wisdom of this quote, because this concept led her to live the life of her dreams. Julie left the corporate world with nary a backward glance and began the move into the realm of her passion. After taking a course on professional intuitive development she had her ‘light bulb’ moment and has never looked back. Love that about her. Today she has a thriving business offering intuitive readings and development counseling. And if you ever wanted to move into the realm of your passion, but weren’t certain how to go about it, perhaps Julie’s story will be just the encouragement you need. [success]I would like to recapture that freshness of…
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. ~ John Lennon We’re off travelling again. Nothing as exotic as a trip to the caribbean…off to visit family. But a trip filled with love and laughter and lots of joy is as great as any exotic trip I might have. Having missed everyone over Christmas, we decided we needed our family fix. And just in case you notice over the weekend…the blog will be gone for a couple of days. No, it hasn’t been hijacked by aliens, it’s been acting up lately and you might well ask…what’s in her consciousness? Wish I could tell you. All I can say is that I just know it’s coming back bigger and better than before…so stay tuned for the new, improved reflectingalife. One that will work without all the gremlins that have been showing up of late. Travelling and challenges…
