Get back to nature

The weather sure can have an impact on how we are feeling.

The nice weather generally makes us feel like we want to get out and about and do things.

Whether it be around our home or out and about visiting people and places.

Nature can offer one of the best stress releases.  To be able to STOP and look around, smell the aromas where we are, hear those noises that nature gives us. The smell of flower, the beauty of the nature around us, the sounds that nature gives us, the buzzing bee, the crashing of the waves on the beach.

Another wonderful stress release is called grounding, that is taking off your shoes and walking barefoot on the earth. This can be a wonderful sensation and can provide stress release.  Grounding or earthling has been around for centuries. We tend to put shoes on if the ground is wet, but to walk barefoot on the morning dew, or the grass that has been rained on, can help connect us back to the earth.

Most of us tend to think things in our life are stressful, and there are many fly by night potions and pills that can be sold to us to help us feel at peace.  Getting back to nature, and enjoying nature, stopping and slowing down, to notice how wonderful the world is and how while we are so busy, the grass is still growing, the clouds are still moving, the tide is going in and out.  Nature does this all effortlessly while sometimes we just get too busy to notice.

Manifest. Abundance. Connection

 Manifesting. Abundance. Connections. One thing all of us need is connections. We need connections to feel safe, to grow, to love  and to feel connected to someone or something else. One of my beliefs is that if we can always give someone 5 minutes of your time. In that 5 minutes of genuinely giving someone your time and attention, connections can be made.  The secret to this strategy is to have good boundaries so that you don't become the person who has to listen to everyone's story over and over and it become draining on yourself.  Most people wouldn't be able to tell you the last time someone took a straight 5 minutes to listen and communicate without other distraction. Yet this form of communication is the most important. In that 5 minutes you could have unknowingly been someone's light house, someone could have been having the worst day ever, and your kindness of just listening, talking and being there 100% just for 5 minutes can change the protectory of their d...

Special Needs Children - Angels that walk the Earth

Over the years I have had a fair bit to do with children with special needs and their parents. The sheer love and determination from parents of special needs children, shines though, and parents learn ways to manage different problems they have to overcome. Years ago as a teenager I used to visit a friends brother in a residential care home for children. My first visit left me feeling sad and overwhelmed. Being a teenager and really thinking mostly about myself, I felt I had enough issues in my own life to deal with, growing up seemed hard enough at the time. So I choose not to go back and visit again.  Something inside me keep bugging me and months later I returned to the home and my visits become weekly Friday night visits.  My love for these children grew and grew to the point I gave up Happy Hour at work. Remember I was a teenager, happy hour in the middle of town on a Friday night was a ton of fun.  Something inside me gave my night away in order to visit ...

Welcome to 2015, Let us make it the best year yet.

Happy New Year to you all.  It is hard to believe how quickly the days, months and years roll by.  How was 2014 for you? Hopefully it was a good year for you.  What would you like 2015 to hold?   We all have goals and dreams, some we achieve and some we just don't. Sometimes we can get caught up in the thought the dreams are for others. I truly believe that if someone out there is doing what I want to do, then why can't I.  Often what stops us are our self limiting beliefs.  Sometimes we can hold a fear of failure, so it is easier not to try because we might fail, and who wants to fail.  Let us change our meaning of failure, failure is merely feedback.  Every time something doesn't work out the way we think, we learn not to do it that way, so we try another way.  Failure can be very useful and maybe try changing the wording to feedback. I believe Success is a Birth Right. Every one has a right to be successful. Success is a...
