Wouldn't you agree?

Oh my goodness! I saw this floating around on Facebook and it totally made me smile. Even on the hardest of days, life IS magical. And on the greatest of days, it's even easier to see the magic.

So last night as I was leaving the wonderful office that I do massage out of, I had a spark
of inspiration to leave a note for the gals who work the front desk. Just a little note, nothing fancy.

I woke up this morning and had forgotten that I had even left a note. I was reminded when I received a text message from one of the ladies, thanking me. Her thank you made my morning wonderful...  And then I got a facebook picture message from the other girl: "Did you leave this?"

When I walked into work, they were both smiling from ear to ear. It even sparked in me the desire to send out some Good Morning Beautiful Soul texts to random friends.

I was amazed at how an extra minute at the end of a day could fire off so much happiness and love the next morning. It made me wonder why we all don't do this more often. It really takes such little time to let someone in your life know that you appreciate them. And what a wonderful feeling it is in return when you see them light up.

So here's to you, YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL. Go out and shine your light to the world today and tell someone out there that you appreciate them. Spread the fire of love.

MUAH!

Morning Inspiration

We all have days full of sadness and yesterday was definitely one of those for me. I think that my week out of Alaska, when I ventured to Seattle and Connecticut, was so wonderful and warm and happy that coming down from that high kinda hit me square in the heart yesterday. I know just a few blogs ago I was saying I have decided to stay in Alaska for the winter and be very present here, but I am feeling a massive pull towards Seattle. Yesterday I spent hours with a friend looking at potential rentals and potential massage jobs and by the end of it I was so completely overwhelmed. Rent in Seattle is over $1000/mo for your super basic itty bitty place and the typical massage job at a spa pays $25-$35/ hour.  I'm used to paying A LOT less and making A LOT more soooooo that's kind of a hard concept to accept. I feel like there's a huge hurdle in front of me and I just can't figure out how to get over it and on to the other side.

I also learned yesterday that Seattle is called The Emerald City.... yes, my life is (and has always been) very similar to the Wizard of Oz. Strange, I know. But true.

So last night, I'm trying to fall asleep and I'm doing my usual inner dialoguing with God, Source, The Universe (whichever word feels best to you), and I'm asking for help. Guidance. A friggin miracle really.

I awoke this morning and did some usual Facebook perusing and a friend of mine posted some words that really got me... and one of their friends made a comment about it that hit me even more. I felt that I must share them with you.

John Blackfoot- "Maybe the Universe conspires in favor of your evolution; not your comfort or happiness"      UM! Woah. Yep. That one hit home.
Melissa (his friend):   Hmmmmmmm..... Uni- Verse..... the One Word...... perhaps the universe is whatever you say?             BOOM!  mind blown!

 So those are my morning musings and I'm excited to see how they permeate the rest of the day. Be very aware of the words you speak in your head, for that is what you are creating.... then sit back and let the show begin!

I'd love to hear your comments below, if you feel like dropping me a line....  

Inner Wisdom

Today I am overflowing with giddy happiness. I'm hoping it pours through these words and lands in your heart and you can't help but feel a flutter of hope in there... and then notice a shimmy of a smile appear on your face.  I have spent the past week out of Alaska and I have to say, "It's about damn time!" :)   I spent a brief moment in Seattle before heading eastward to Connecticut and am now resting in Seattle for another moment before heading back to Alaska.

I spent 5 days in Connecticut for a continuing education class called SomatoEmotional Release. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced and I feel completely different after experiencing what I did over the past 4 days. Like a palpable shift in my reality. As the class was wrapping up yesterday afternoon, a voice inside me said, "Things are going to be different when you walk out of this door. Are you ready?"

"YES!"

That voice wasn't lying....

One of the exercises that was practiced again and again was connecting with a new place within ourselves.  What the heck does that mean?? (I can hear you saying...)

Let me start with a question for you. Do you believe that there is something inside of you, an innate intelligence, that knows how to take care of you? When you get cut, do you run to a doctor and say, "Oh no! I fell and scrapped my knee and I need you to tell me how to heal this wound!" Or does your body just start healing, right there in that very moment? So, I'm no mind reader (contrary to the last paragraph) but I do believe that every one of you has a body that automatically starts to heal itself. Each person can describe this essence of knowledge within them using many different words. Some people use Source, or God, or Soul Light, or Inner Physician, or Inner Wisdom. The words aren't as important as the actual awareness of this aspect of yourself. What an amazing gift we have that we hardly pay any attention to! It was such a revelation to have someone point this out and then show me how to connect with that essence of knowledge in a very tangible way. Let me see if I can describe it another way for you.... Have you ever been sitting in a room, reading a book by the light of the windows solely... The moments pass and you don't even realize that it's gotten darker outside until someone walks in the room and flips on a light and you're like, "Oh! That's much better. Thank you!" That is what this weekend was like. I didn't even know what was missing until I was shown.

And the funny thing is, we all have it... and it's always been there... and it always will be. Healing every wound we ever encounter. So breathe that thought in... and maybe send a little whisper of thanks inward, for all the scraps and cuts and broken hearts that have been healed by the quietest friend (and the strongest power) we all have.

So this is like a PS for a blog or something like that....
I had just finished writing the above content and had published it and moved on about my day... and by moved on I mean, headed immediately to Facebook for a quick browse and BAM! This is the first thing I see show up!  :)

Things like this make me smile from the inside out and they remind me that life is magical. So so very magical......
