how do you let your light shine?

1. are you living a limited life? are you comfortable with the status quo and generally setting up blinders to the expansion of yourself?

2. are you seeking answers, growing and empowering yourself additionally manifesting your offering(s) to the planet and your community?

In which way are you doing these things? (either the first or latter)

♥ let's talk about it :) leave your comments below, let the love flow.

For reference, here's how I feel i am more connected to the second question. Genuinely I am a thorough being, I research the fine details of my life and my being on a regular basis. I believe in the regular reincarnation of myself and others. I devise long and short term goals for my present and future and model for others in my speech and behaviour the ways in which I appreciate honour and commitment. I teach. I speak up. I say truths out loud, even the hard ones and make attempts to salvage the wreckage of relationships and recycle them into new fashioned ones filled with glory and hope, even ones that aren't mine.

Perhaps that last one is the kink in my strategy that keeps toppling my balance, but I believe in eternal solutions that are not limited to JUST me and my children. I feel deeply towards humanity and it's struggles and seek more for society, the planet, my community. Virtually everyone I come in contact with I can feel a conection to just by observing. These beliefs were never built by single-mindedness they were meant for larger audiences and formed by a younger, smaller and most definitely powerful little me, 4 yrs old to be exact.

I knew then what I still know now to be true: without the fervor of motivation, dreams and positive thinking nothing could change, grow or become anything but itself in a cold limitless state.

This kind of thought when spoken out loud put me in a very vulnerable position amongst many who were living the boxed lives they were accustomed to, and quite happily so. I found myself inspiring others to move beyond their limitless thinking quite frequently and felt the power of growth and change flow through me, flow through them and it was addicting. I was very young when I realized I had the power to teach, motivate and inspire. I also knew that I held a thoughtful invigorating approach to life that not many subscribed to. It was a struggle in many close relationships but I was certain and firmly rooted to my beliefs about this alternative to living. I was frequently pressured by many to succumb to the "norm" and just go with the masses. At times I tried this strategy with everything in my being to assimilate amongst them. Uhg, I felt stuffy, claustrophobic, fenced and boxed in a corner, it was madness. Eventually every moment I tried to not be like myself I'd explode with passion and regain consciousness into my widened awareness, so thankful to be back in my own skin and operating from a much more raw honest place. This created a very lonely existence for a while, my mask was not visible and quiet times were filled with longing to find others like me, a community of equal thinking spirits.

With maturity and thousands of experiences later I became attune to my gifts and at peace with my offerings. I became a comfortable me with deep relevant understanding of my beliefs and now I live happily amongst the masses. I also did find that community of equal thinkers, I've made choices (some very tough) in order to surround myself with the kinds of people that have the wisdom and sense to see the truth and deep love in my gifts. I make it a habit to freely pass forward these lessons and gifts, knowing generations behind me will benefit from these. Peace has filled me and flowed too through my children and close friends.

I know there are options and ranges of growth available for everyone, do you?

What's your story? let me know in the comments below. I look forward to your thoughts.

joy & love to you on this first summery long weekend! xo

The Significant Works of Women & Mothers - Momma's Day 2010 -

A warm sticky hug WISH to all the exhausted, endless working, on-call, tender gracious momma's out there! No company paycheck could ever replace or afford your infinite labours for the abundance you provide to your children’s well being, all those in your community and at large that you come in contact with spiritually, emotionally, physically. Your delicious ways of building everyone up with grace, confidence, skill, morals, manners, heart and vision are always honoured in the highest degree. Society is consistently lurking around doorways, watching your inspiring works at play, soaking up your inherent wisdom and marveling at your magnificent purposeful masterpieces with jealousy and awe!

Women, Mothers, Your place in world is the fundamental principal of importance and significance more so than government, billionaire corporations or the police task force without you there would be no governing bodies, no human life, no “babies” grown up to have confidence, assurance and motivation to be the leaders of our earth and the visionaries of our tomorrows. Your work in the home with your children from conception to birth and beyond is so unrecognized and yet is the leading support beam in the formation of life and society as we know it. Our children grow up with our teachings and memories to become who they are and either flourish or fail but always learning from experiences and hearing your voice in the backround. Those vital first 6 years of life build the road to those grown up lives ahead or now living for eternity and you are the key force in that development!

May you always be aware of your irrefutable dominant influence and may you forever use your abilities with the unquestionable vigor and passion we all share in the colossally underestimated project of our lives! Raising children is no small feat, from the kindness of your hearts and not the wallets of a corporation. Your engrained wisdom, your “mom-ness” born from nature and the earth fueled with beneficial vitamins of optimism, intensity and devotion to the creation of extraordinary massive beings appearing in tiny soft packages is undeniably admired and sought after by those who cannot posses it. Rare as saffron and yet as common as air, women, mothers, you are the source that breathes life into everything we are as humans and a community of the earth. Know now, you are significant, your essential roles are vital and crucial to our existence, be assured that you are esteemed for eternity, without you life would not exist as we know it.

Love to all the devoted, cherished, ground breaking women & moms out there, encouraging us all to be the best of our kind.

Warm scrunchy nosey-nosey kisses to you all!
