Blog Crush : Mylifescape: Monday Moment

I loved the post below from one of my Blog Crushes.  A real call to note for those of us who are single and those of us to are struggling with our current relationships.  What vibration are you offering that contradicts what your idea of bliss is?  Ask the Higher Power to shine a light on that shadow to unlock what vibration you offer that blocks from enjoying the joy and wonder of experiencing someone else!

A Loser Like Me

I am still in my Glee hangover of bliss.  When I do get to watch TV, I seem to watch them in one big go and not weekly like most people I know.  So I get the full story in one go.  So I have caught up on my Glee TV episodes and I am so happy everytime I watch it.  Loved the Original Song episode when I got to see New Directions perform at the Regionals.

This song is just the essence of happiness.  You can dance to the truth that a Loser Like You has a powerful gift.  CHOICE!  And using all the  freedom you are blessed with, you make a choice that takes you higher.  You make another, and then it's the next step higher.  And so you go.  That is what this song can potentially envoke in us all.  The power to CHOOSE the steps that take us from Loser to Amazing!

Dance to that truth! xoxo

Blaine Moments

So Glee is all about how the kids are taking on new layers and exploring new sides of themselves.  That is what I see everytime I watch it.  It really makes me soooooo happy and emotional.  We all have our challenges and needing to simply make it to breathe and just be ourselves.  One of the storylines I am really drawn to is the journey of Kurt.  Blaine is like an answer to his healing in so many ways.  Kurt is an answer to Blaine's healing in so many ways.

It may just be a TV show, but the message it calls one to understand is simple.  You are allowed to enjoy the best of someone and it can heal the worst of you.  And the beauty of the whole thing is that it is fair exchange.  That person loves giving you what heals you, and you love giving what heals that person.  It is truly poetic!  Words cannot describe the perfection in such a harmony.  That is what I feel when I see Kurt and Blaine together.  Healing in a fair exchange relationship.  How beautiful!

Bless The Men From Vampire Diaries : Taylor Kinney

I was thinking when last did I do a hunk appreciation post.  No rugby players jumped out at me!  Then came a post by one of my Blog Crushes.  A tribute to Taylor Kinney.  Taylor was an awesome werewolf and a sexy one.  Pity he had to die in the series.  But another hunk killed him. So damn, I am stumped to hate.  hehehehe  Enjoy Taylor!

Below is  a post from one of my Blog Crushes.  He has a sweet, sexy, open and honest way about him.  Love it!

The Game Of Golf = Livin LIfe

So I have started taking Golf Lessons.  I resisted golf as I thought how boring a sport.  No outlet of stress or aggression like my favourite sport tennis.  But I am two lessons in and I see a very profound practice that reminds me how special life can be if one just remembers!

Golf is about technique and applying laws.  When you apply the technique and the law, the golf clubs do their job and the ball goes to the best place it can based on that.  Now add the terrain!  It will never be the same and will change.  The weather conditions will also change.  But the drill is the same.  Apply the technique and the laws and the ball will land in the best place it can.  You will never get the perfect ball 100% of the time.  But wherever the ball lands, you choose the club, you apply the technique and allow the club to do it's job.

So looking at life.  We have the clubs of Gratitude, Forgiveness, Respect, Positive Thinking etc.  And when it happens, the terrain presents itself.  So why not simply apply the techniques and let the clubs do their work?  It's when we forget to apply it that it goes a little off course and we need to play a few more shots to get the "ball" where we want.

Who thought Golf could be such a profound example of how to live life.  LOVE IT!

5 Life Investments Just Because You Can . . . .

So I have been really stuck when it comes to the insights from life.  I guess I am still processing the recent shifts that have happened in my life.  Some part of me wishes it would just settle.  But a process is a process and CB just has to be patient.  So below are the investments I feel are the greatest to have in your life just because you can!

1. A Course In Weight Loss by Marianne Williamson - This is truly a treasure of a book.  I am deepening understanding and loving the journey the lessons so far are taking me on!
2. Friends & Experiencing them for them - This can one the most profound experiences you can undertake where you allow yourself to step out of your own way and embrace the world through their experience.  You give them a space to be who they are and take the healing, lesson or insight that comes from the contrast of you against who they are.  It's something special!
3. Letting Yourself and Others Off The Hook - OMG! You will wonder at the talent and skill you are capable of when you just trust that you will do what is right and for your highest good.  You also realise that no-one is perfect and they are doing the best they can for their lives.  When you let someone off the hook for being that perfect answer to all your challenges, you open space for them to be free to be themselves and for you to step into the driver seat for your bliss
4. A New Craft/Hobby - Taking up a new craft or hobby gives a perspective to what you know and allows a new idea or angle to enter your life.  Giving specifics is not what this point is about.  The principle I find is that when to take on the challenge of learning something new, whether it be a sport or cooking or something creative, you access what you know and find new combinations of what is there already.  You also click a few puzzle pieces into place and the picture looks a whole lot different when that happens.  It's simply awesome!
5. Giving Up Control - As scary as this seems, you can never truly control any situation where free-will is involved.  I cease to wonder how we as humans never get this (me included)!  It takes a faith and trust in something bigger to know that giving up control is for the better of you and those around you.  The art of allowing is truly a gift worth giving yourself!

There Is A Freedom In Your Arms . . . .

This song is so beautiful.  Miss Rimes has one of the most angelic voices around.  Divine!  This song can remind one that freedom can come in the arms of a romantic partner.  Yes needing someone is ok when they allow you a space to heal and step closer to understanding and truth.  Life supports you with clues and pieces of a puzzle of your truth.  We can go it with just us and God as well as with God and us and a romantic partner.  Nothing wrong with either approach.

But for me, there are options, and why not try out the ride with a special man that can teach and heal you along the way.  Here is to embracing the power of healing that comes from romantic relationships.  Thank you for such blessings that comes from loving someone and being loved.  Amen!

There's a Freedom in your arms and it carries me through . . . . . 













I need you like Mercy from Heaven's Gate . . . . 

In Happiness With You

These days I am finding it a challenge to express myself as I feel that I am processing a new layer in my life.  I simply need to let my recent shifts settle!  I am excited that the world will be seen through new eyes and be experienced with an expanded perspective, heart and mind.  Lovely!  This song has being resonating of late.  One can see when you brave to experience and go with what is in front of you, in time you will find yourself in happiness.  For me, it's about going through the experience knowing you and the situation will figure it out!  That is where I am.  Enjoy!

"The things that you can give to me, I can feel them when you holding me close"














"Come see that I am ready for this!  You're so good for me"

You Are Ready To Enjoy The Best Of A Relationship . . .

Romantic Relationships!  They can bring out the best or the worst in us.  They can be exciting or simply scary!  Either way, we each have a position to it and know what it means to us.  I have had one of the biggest shifts in my perception/belief system when it came to how I saw relationships.  I have settled on a truth that says I am ready to experience healing from romantic relationships just as I am!

How many of us single folk have been putting off being a relationship because we need to do "work" to be ready to experience the best in a relationship?  How many of us hooked up folk wonder what is causing your partner to stick around and love you?  How many of us simply question our worthiness to enjoy the best of a relationship?  It's reflective power, healing ability, embracing nature, warm safety, harsh realities and ability to see ourselves more clearly!

Then we get to work!  So we go on making ourselves better and keeping in shape, getting our lives together, work hard on getting our baggage out the way so we can be whole and real for someone else.  For those in a relationship, we are constantly looking at self improvement to ensure we keep that flame burning like when you first met.  There is a constant call to keep up the work as there is simply no room for complacency.  And as you get wrapped up in all this "work" you need to do to be the best you can be to have the great love, you without even knowing it, start securing this wall around you!  This cocoon that allows you to grow and improve and shuts out the person you trying to be your best with!

I have always judged relationships where I detected a neediness between the couple.  Or one where I found the one needed the other to complete them and make them their best.  It truly bothered me that we need someone to make us whole and better.  That dependency made me want to throw up!  I could never make peace with women who gave up their careers, their lives for a man.  I could never understand why some men would do some stupid stuff to show their love for their loved ones.  It seemed all so silly.  I could never see how a couple could fight all the time and work on each other's nerves and still stay together.  I never got it!

But there is another way to see it.  Relationships are the best reflective tool to help you see yourself clearly.  And when you brave enough, you realise that you need that person to just be who they need to be because that in itself is a tool to help you get clear on so much.  On your journey of self improvement, moving closer to understanding you and life and bliss, relationships can heal, bring clarity and bring you closer to your truth!

And so when you embrace that men in a romantic sense can help you in so many ways to find yourself, your bliss and truth, the pressure of him being THE ONE potentially can go away.  Because it no longer is about you being in that perfect body, having that perfect career, living that perfect self awareness that you can handle anything, owning that perfect house and having that perfect man that fairytales are written about for happily ever after!  It is about you right now in this moment being ready to enjoy the best of a romantic relationship with a man.  That's enough for you to heal and move forward . . . .

Whether you are fat, have no life game plan, feel like the worst scum, fear the world, hate yourself or even feel like you are not worth it, there is a GRACE, a LOVE that exists to help you find you, your way and your truth if you simply are willing to ask for it.  And it could come in the form of a healing romantic relationship!  How exciting!

With Love

The Grass Being Greener On The Other Side . . . . .

I was asked this question the other day.  Is the grass really greener on the other side when it comes to relationships?  I surprised myself when I took a moment to think about it and share my view or idea on the concept.

Does it matter what colour the grass is on the other side when it comes to comparing what you have in a relationship and looking at what is out there?  We are attracted to a partner because there is something great they give us.  Whether it is good for us or not is another point.  The point is that we gain some value from having that partner integrate their life with us.

It's when we ask ourselves am I able to give that greatness to myself that an interesting answer unfolds.  Some of us look for life discipline which we admire in our partner and hope that it rubs off.  Some of us want to constantly feel sexy and valued and adoration and hero syndrome from our partner gives us that.  Some us want someone we can just be ourselves with and have that be ok and get that from our partner.  And the list goes on.  The simple question if you replace "partner" with yourself, are you in a position to give that greatness to yourself?

When you get to a point where the question is yes, the colour of the grass on the other side does not matter at all.  It comes down to a knowing!  A knowing that you are enough, that you have the talent and ability and love to give yourself all the greatness you can desire.  So bring on the other side because baby you are ready in any case.

Some thoughts the question triggered.

Baby I Love You!

I found this gem of a song the other day on the Treadmill.  What a gorgeous song just giving into your heart's desire and letting the man know it!  This song can potentially capture that moment you realise that you truly like someone, have something special brewing inside of you or simply ready to take the plunge with that super special man!  It's yum!  Enjoy!

















"Boy when you look my way I realize more and more I adore your pretty eyes"
















"The day I first felt the power of you inside of me, such a strong feeling"

Bless Rugby Players : Michael Sullivan

For One Day, Let Them Off The Hook!

For one day, try this out and see what it does for you.  Look at who are your LOVE DEALERS!  Those people that relieve you from your pain and fear.  Just being in their presence brings a sense of safety and peace into your life.  For one day, give permission to yourself and them that they are off the hook to  make your day, make you happy, make you safe and peaceful.  Do it for yourself! 

Try it for just one day.

Song Crush : I Am!

In life, you will see that no matter what the subject in your life, love comes about for that subject by others when you have pioneered the way to love and adore it first!  This song is all about you.  That no one can love a subject better than you.  You have to love it first and to the best love that you are capable of.  The love from others follows as a natural consequence.  Tune into that frequency and see what that does for your life. Yum!

The Royal Wedding

Some thoughts from my side on The Royal Wedding.

1. William is really cute!  When I saw him chatting away when he got to the church and just how relaxed and full of fun he was, I was like what a prince to marry.  I am still not over him getting bald but he is cute!
2. I was teary eyed throughout most of the live viewing.  I had to PVR it, so only got to watch all of it the next day.  It was truly a fairytale happening for real!  It does not get more romantic and special than that
3. Kate looked elegant and modest.  I will admit that I was expecting a little wow factor somewhere on her dress. But it was all about her and as long as she was happy, that really is all that matters
4. I am constantly amazed at how the power of the British monarchy exists in today's world.  It is a true wonder
5. I wonder how it feels to have that much spotlight and attention?  I get a sense of being overwhelmed but OMG that is a huge amount of attention!  They handled it like pros
6. All the best to William and Kate.  They look like a truly blessed and happy couple.  Love and happiness be theirs

Take a look at William after the second kiss.  He is too adorable!  Yum!

Enjoy what Being Brazen (one of my favourite blogs) had to say, I did! xoxo
