5 Things I Will Take Note Of!

I am stuck at an airport on route back to JHB after spending time with family for Xmas.  Been very reflective as a result of being so close to closing out 2011.  Some things I will take note of going forward that I believe that most of us should give a try:

1. Be curious with any situation!  This seems so simple but it is a great practice.  When you curious, you are open, when you are open, you are ready for deeper understanding.  I have realised how my judgement this year has caused me to miss out on some amazing adventures.  So I am taking the plunge to be more curious as I venture on
2. Surrender it all!  Control has been a strong theme in my life the past year.  And with all this hard work and control, the idea of surrender was never an option.  The truth is that we really do not control anything for very long.  All we have is our choice and access to wisdom to guide us along the way.  So it is realising that we can surrender to a higher power and go along for the ride trusting in our ability to make the right choice and taking inspired action
3. Deepen your understanding of healthy boundaries!  There is something to be said with having healthy boundaries.  I realised that I personally have not quite got the balance right.  I am either too aggressive or too accommodating without much in the middle.  So for me, I get that it has something to do with my internal filters on what is truth and not truth for me and how I allow others to treat me.  Work in progress!
4. What have you done to make you feel proud?  Imagine asking yourself this question every night before going to bed.  If you are really serious about living your best life, this question would allow you to understand how close you are living and expressing your highest joy and passion.  This is something I am going to add to my gratitude practice.  
5. What is neglected will find a way to get your attention!  Life has a way of getting your attention for the important stuff that you neglect.  And the more you ignore it, the more elaborate, aggressive and louder it becomes.  So be willing to be curious and listen to what life is bringing to you in terms of messages of wisdom

Train On A Track

This is such an awesome gem of a song.  This can remind one of how when great things get put into motion, how they grow and grow and the amazingness just happens.  May this week be just that.  The start of putting greatness for your life in motion and have it just grow into something amazing.  Train on a track to bliss!

Blessings!

The First Time : 5 Things

I was catching up on one of my favorite TV Series the other day.  Glee!  Anyhoo, I was watching an episode when some characters where going through their awakening sexuality and wanting to share intimately that side of them with their partner.  I kept on bringing my baggage into the equation with stuff like, you are only 17 people!  What do you know and is it not too early on in life to take that kind of plunge?

It got me thinking that for some of us, our first time was to be forgotten and for some, our first time was all special and amazing when we look back.  Some CrazeeBee thoughts:

1. The one thing I would teach my kids is to make choices that they are comfortable with.  There is probably no way I could ever stop them from experiencing what they need to for their path and as scary as that would be for me, the only thing I could ever do for them is try my best to make them see all sides of the equation.  As long as they are comfortable they can source the information they need to be safe and make an empowered choice then I have done all I could do
2. There is something to be said with knowing someone on a level that makes you feel safe to open up to share that intimate part of you.  That is probably the scariest part of sex for some.  Exposing that deep vulnerable side and having someone experience that
3. It definitely is a reflection of how much you trust yourself and love yourself to just be as you are.  Going into something that is meant to be felt and experienced and staying in your head the whole time judging yourself, the situation and the guy just speaks to where you are with loving yourself
4. There is the reality for some where it is just clumsy and awkward but I can bet when there are strong feelings of love and caring involved, it is looked back with love and fondness 
5. There are some that go there when they are not ready for the consequence of what comes after sharing that with someone, or go there for reasons other than what is right for them and what  makes  them comfortable.  There is no way to turn back time, but there is a place of choice to listen more to what speaks from the inside and go ahead with choices that truly sit within power within one's self.  It is a mistake but one where you can do the work and forgive yourself and move on to open up for someone special.  The first time has its place but sharing deeply and connecting with someone is always available to all on this earth, no matter your background and mistakes!

Afterglow

Something weird is happening lately.  I am noticing background music when I watch TV.  I am enjoying the music more than the actual scene.  This song is simply a sexy one.  Can you see yourself simply cuddling up with your partner and snogging.  When last have you just kept it simple? Just you and your boo?  May this week inspire some cuddling and snogging.  Some old school loving! Yum!

5 Things To Note About Surrendering

I am a typical A-type, outcomes based, instant gratification, control freak.  The art of allowing and surrender is such a stretch for me most of the time.  But one thing that I have been open to of late is that there is a better less stressful way to get what I want and that it is worth testing and trying out this surrender thing.  Some things I  have picked up along my journey with starting to get comfortable with the art of surrender :

1. There is a bigger picture on any subject you have in your life.  You might not understand today or now but there is an opportunity to get deeper understanding and a bigger perspective.  Surrendering to something  bigger opens you to take in a deeper perspective and see it differently
2. Think of a flower and learn from how it is able to just be.  It is most beautiful when it blooms.  And it blooms to take in the sun in all its glory.  That is something like surrendering.  When you open your heart and take in the glory, love and power that is showered from that higher wiser power, you can operate at your most beautiful and powerful
3. You have to be willing to drop your current story on a subject and open up to curiosity to explore and have a story be told to you.  The purpose of experiences is to feel them and assimilate them and move onto to something new to evolve and expand who you are.  Not get stuck on one particular experience or set of experiences.  Be willing to give over your current story and ask to see it a different way that serves you and your happiness
4. The Universe is really on your side if you allow it.  It simply grants your wish!  So check what you wishing for.  And that is linked to your most  powerful and consistent stories
5. Take note when things simply work out without you having to do much other than just be there to receive or go with the ride.  That is the universe at work and you being in tune with the flow of life.  Some great validation what surrender brings you

Joyful Joyful

I grew up christian and I will say when I was younger, I did not appreciate the beauty and depth of love that christianity does speak of.  I do see that now.

This week's song is really about surrendering to the higher power our struggles and pain.  It is surrendering it to a wisdom, intelligence and love that can take what you see and feel and transform that.  So take your pain and surrender it and ask for the wisdom to see it differently with deeper understanding and an empowered view.

Have a week of wisdom and seeing through the eyes of love!

Joyful Joyful, Lord we adore Thee

God of Glory, Lord of Love

Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee

Hail Thee as the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness

Drive the dark of doubt away

Giver of immortal gladness

Fill us with the light of day

Beautiful

There really are not other words to add to this other than simply listen and go with it.  There is a truth that we are beautiful.  It is finding your path to seeing that.  Hopefully this song helps you on your path to living that truth.  Mwah!

Something Inside So Strong

I heard this song watching a documentary about the 1995 World Cup.  It really moved something within me and I felt that I really needed to share this.  This reminds one that when you are faced with challenge, fear, nastiness from people, pressure and stress.  That there is something inside you so strong.  You cannot be broken, you cannot be defeated unless you choose it.  So this week, this one goes out to all of us who need a reminder that no matter what we going through, there is something inside so strong that will carry us through.  Blessed week to you all.  Mwah!

I Enjoy Loving People In My Space

When you are able to just be with yourself in that space of safety and love, you open the door to know what you really about.  You can then recognise how to invite people into your life that love you as you are.  Enjoy all those in your life that simply love you as you are.

I Can Go Beyond The Fears & LImitations Of Others

It started when we were little.  Our parents played the role of something bigger we trusted in, in whatever state they lived their lives.  So it was natural that when they feared something or had limitations that we made it part of our story.

The Good News : It is a story that we can choose to follow or not

Life will drape more circumstance wear someone will have a fear or limitation.  It could be someone you trust that you perceive has the bigger picture.  It could be a boss, a hero, a lover or someone you really admire.  They are human as much as we are.  So remember in that situation that you have the power to choose.  You can choose the story to follow.  You can choose to venture beyond the limitations and fears of others and know for yourself what possibilities lie out there.

There Is No Need To Compete For Your Love

When you loving yourself right and you understand that only you can make yourself happy, there will come a point when you realise that you don't have to compete for someone's attention, love or affection.  That will flow naturally as a result of you stepping into your greatness and radiating your light.  It will draw them in honeys, cause they love a good thang! So step in and revel in your beauty, your warmth and your light.  The rest will come as a result.

What Is Inside Me, Is In My World Physically

I realise more and more that what we carry inside us as dominant stories are really a reality within our worlds.  I made a huge realisation this weekend.  A big theme in my life of late is the concept of COMPETITION.  I now see how powerfully it has manifested in my life and the signs are screaming at me to surrender it.  This is a whole other post.

For now, the blessing is that we have the power to shift what is inside us to manifest.  So you choose what to hold onto to manifest in your world.  Even if it is one thought more positive than what you currently have, it has vibrational power.

So go and choose one thought at a time, something more positive than where you currently are.  That's all you really need.  One step closer to happiness at a time

You Are Safe In The Midst Of Change

Today is a very big day in my head and heart.  The 11/11/11!!!!  Shoo I feel like it is such a powerful manifestation day and a day to put out there one's deepest desire.  Change is the only constant and that is a truth that  many of us hate to admit to.  There is definitely a call  to rely on how we respond to any situation or experience in front of us.  We usually feel unsafe within that moment when realise how the world can change around us.

Today, I put out there that I can get in touch and always find my way to my authentic power.  That no matter the situation, the experience, the change that I figure out a way to get to my power, my connection to Divinity, Universal Intelligence and my Soul's wise voice.  That is the path to happiness, to joy, to dealing with any situation.  Responding with the best of me supported and fuelled by the GRACE of LOVE.

You Have A Vision

There is a vision deep inside you.  It comes out in your dreams, in the way you react to the world and the way you feel from moment to moment in your life.  You will live your life and you will experience.  In the bad experiences you have contrast that lets you know what you want in a clearer manner.  You experience the good and in so you can understand how you got there to keep it going.  So open yourself to your experiences, they help clear up your Vision on what happiness in your life is

Thank You For Brilliance

It is a wonderful moment when people show their brilliance and it rubs off and you can embrace and show your brilliance.  It shows just how much creativity and innovation we possess as humans.  Thanks to the people in my life that show me their brilliance.  When I am brave to partner with it rather than compete or feel threatened by it, I am able to leverage it and tap into my brilliance.  Amen!

I Am At Peace With My Age

Each age has its own special joys and experiences. When you are living with joy and purpose, your age is something you love and embrace.

Thank You For Healing Conversation

I am so grateful for open honest healing sharing that I enjoy with the people in my life.  It is a blessing to have truth in my life that helps me be better.  That helps with clearer choices and that helps me deepen my understanding.  The people in my life are true gems for what they share with me.  Thank you for loving me to be lovingly honest with me.

People Are Mirrors To Help Me Grow

The people in your life are there to reflect a truth for you to take note of.  So from those you adore, to hate or get irritated by or excite you, they are a reflection of something you need to take note of.  You can take great joy in that when you around the people in your life, it is an opportunity to use what is reflected back to you to learn and grow from.  You are surrounded by teachers, take in the learning.

Thank You For My Parents

My parents are not perfect!  They are victims of victims of victims.  But despite all of that and them living with the best they know how.  They have been the perfect teachers for me.  Consciously or unconsciously, they have taught me so much and I am the person I am because of who they are.  I am grateful for who they are, how they have loved me, how they have taught me and how they are perfectly human!  Love them to bits and grateful how they continue to perfectly add harmony to who I am.

My Thoughts Are Creative

You have innate creativity whether you believe it or not.  You have it within you and that means that you are the painter and life is your canvas.  You can change the picture.  It is about planting the seed based on desire and then surrounding it with the soil of faith, belief and positive expectation.  Then life conspires and starts draping circumstance, support, people and opportunities for you to piece together the end result.  It's truly harmonious.  So be creative and plant your seed!
