What are you passionate about?
Today I awoke with the thoughts of passion. What are we all passionate about? What makes us happy…so happy, that we would jump up first thing in the morning to embrace it? What fills our hearts with such joy that we are giggly, we are in a consistent state of happiness, we are floating on air because life is so sweet, and we are feeling our Heaven on Earth?
The answer for me is my Passion. I love getting up in the morning to write. I love interacting and sharing inspirational thoughts with others. I love spending time with like-minded, like-hearted people…because they keep me on a positive tip. When I go to sleep at night, I am filled with great joy because I know that the following day it will all begin again for me.
I thank God for the ability to write and communicate. I thank God for inspiring me to begin to write and to keep me cracking. Yes, communication is my passion and yes, this will be a passion of mine forever…I just feel that somehow…
So what is your passion? What is it that you have always wanted to do, but said you couldn’t afford to do it or it won’t pay the bills? What is it that you once dreamed of doing, but now feel you are too old, too settled in your life, and even thinking what else is there, but what you are doing? Please think again because doing what you passionately love is what life is all about. Please take a moment to think on this if you can.
Sending blessings and love to you all as you rediscover your passions and frolic in the fountain of life…

Today I felt inspired to write about Unconditional Love and living a Balanced Life. What does this mean? What does it not mean?
What does this mean exactly? To live a balanced life is to live a life where one is in touch with their inner self, their higher spirit, directly in tune with God.
Within each one of us is elements of the masculine and feminine aspects of both intellect and emotion. When we separate the two, we are floundering with misunderstandings because we are looking at the world and each other under the light of disillusion and with the lens of duality. Merge together the masculine and feminine within and one will achieve balance.
How do we do this? First, be more in touch with who you are, your Authentic Self. Your Authentic Self is who your soul is, your identity, your Spiritual DNA.
In order to get in touch with who you are, spend time learning and loving you. What makes you happy? What brings bliss and joy into your world? What are you passionate about? What do you desire and want? Meditate and pray, spend time alone and listen, truly listen for God and your spirit guides will assist you with learning and understanding what self-love is. With self-love, we are able to rediscover our Authentic Self.
One of the biggest drivers and motivators of our intellect is our ego. With that, our emotions are tied into the conditions and expectations driven by the ego. The ego has its place in our world because God created our ego with an understanding that our ego assists us with our life lessons. Most of our life lessons were and are driven by our egos. Our ego oftentimes sets us up for failure. It is with faith, belief, and knowing that God is the true driver of our life that assists us with the ability to release our ego and embrace the love.
When we are able to release the ego and moderate its intensity, we are able to relax and just go with the flow of being who we really are, our Authentic Selves.
When we can look into the mirror and really see ourselves as God sees us for God loves us unconditionally, we are then able to release self-judgments, self-hate, shame, guilt, and all those negative emotions that we have had stored up our entire lives. We are to learn to not be so hard on ourselves, to embrace that we are Children of God, and as such, we are powerful creator beings. We create the very world we live in with God’s loving hand. The portrait that is the masterpiece of our life was painted by God with a hand by you. You are empowered with the unconditional love of God. There is absolutely nothing that you can’t do. You are truly a powerful creator being of love and light.
What does this not mean? To be balanced is to know that there is no hierarchy, there is no domination and submission for there is no desire to control or dominate others. There is no desire to submit our will and power over to another. There is no need to “submit your will to God” for God resides within you. All that you do is for and about God even if you aren’t aware of it. God knows your heart and intent for God lives within your heart and sees all.
We are a Child of God and God doesn’t demand, expect, or require anything from us for he loves us unconditionally. There are no conditions and there are no rules. If we stop depending upon things external to us to create balance, we will become more and more aware of the Truth that always resided within. With unconditional love of self and the release of the ego, we become a balanced being within and are able to create balanced relationships with others.
Live by this and you shall know true freedom. God knows your heart and intent no matter what you say and do for God loves you unconditionally. This alone brings about empowerment and balance to our lives.
There is so much more to this Universe than many of us are even aware, but we will become more and more connected as our awareness increases and the veil is lifted.
Until then, there are many of us who are relegated to belief systems that hierarchies are necessary and that there cannot be a relationship without a leader and a follower. Did you know that by believing that there must be a leader and a follower, that there must be domination and submission, we are taking away the empowerment that God has instilled in each one of us?
The focus isn’t on hierarchies or whether one is a leader or follower, but rather are we balanced and are we effectively utilizing our skill sets to help each other and the world? Some people serve as natural born leaders, but always with a fairness and compassion of the heart to fully utilize their skill sets without the use of the ego-driven passions of domination, control, and expectation of submission from one’s followers. To be balanced is to understand and embrace your leadership skill sets with a knowing that you are bringing organization to chaos, not domination over one’s followers. Remember, release the ego and embrace love.
There are those who may say that we cannot have a world without leaders and followers. That is true for natural born leaders bring about organization out of chaos; however, that leader has an understanding that he/she is here to serve those that follow and again always with compassion and unconditional love. True leaders are not dominating and controlling. True leaders do not need to dominate and control. Those that lead also follow and those that follow also lead. This is the balance we have within us for we serve in both functions throughout our lives.
God gave us the freedom to choose. I choose to be balanced within me and in all my relationships. I’m a spirit living in the human condition and as such, this is an ongoing process to learn to release the ego and embrace the love.
Be balanced in all things for with that you too shall know freedom. Much blessings and love to you as you continue down your life path with a knowing that you are unconditionally loved. Embrace the empowerment of the soul…always with unconditional love and compassion as you live a balanced life…

I am the Lotus,
I am the Beauty of the flower,
I am the Wisdom created within the seed,
I am the Eternal love and light from the center,
I am Peace as I come up from the murkiness of life’s ignorance,
I am Joy as I am lifted up into the ecstasy of enlightenment and happiness,
I am Healthy as I climb the tallest mountains and swim in the deepest darkest seas,
I am the Spiritual symbol of creation and rebirth, the purity of the heart and mind into ONE.
I am the Lotus…

March 14th, 2009
Today, I awoke with such joyousness that I thought only existed in the movies and “make-believe” for even those who have “found God” and feel “saved” have truly found a joyousness that is beyond what you ever dreamed of before. I believe that we are all “saved” and that God resides in each and every one of us for we are ALL God’s children and as such he wants you to have a life filled with passion, abundance, and JOY!!! What is this joy you ask? This joy is living life!
I say that you should not live each day as if it is your last, but live each day with the anticipation of more and more for life is filled with so many opportunities, adventures, and love that if you begin to look within, you will discover that it all begins with YOU and only YOU.
This day I ask you to do me a favor and go into a quiet place where there is no noise or outside distractions and begin starting your day with asking yourself what is in store for you and listen to the first response. You are the creator of your destiny and it begins each morning that you awaken. You are your own boss and you are here to serve you and the Universe in all things. When I say Universe I am speaking of God, your higher power, the source energy, the Sun.
Even if there is no sunshine when you awaken, close your eyes and envision the Sun for the Sun IS your source energy and as such begin to manifest your own love and light within each day that you awaken. They say that each day is not a guarantee, I tell you that each day is guaranteed for each day is given as a blessing to fulfill all your passions in life. Each day that you awaken anticipating your passion, anticipating the wonderful surprises that the Universe has in store for you, you will see that God guaranteed that day to you and it is a gift for “Living Life”…
With blessings and love in this day filled with abundance and JOY…
