Taking back your light…

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you can’t stand it? This is an interesting predicament. We long for something or someone that we think will bring us a feeling of fulfillment and joy, yet what are we really longing for?

When we feed another object or person with our attention and energy, a piece of our essence extends to them. As we continue to feed the desire, we give away more of our own light. This causes us to become dim and lose our power of attraction.

Perhaps we can take our light back, by refusing to long for what we don’t have… By being fully in the present moment and nourishing ourselves fully with the energy it provides.

Walking the fine line between human attachment and spiritual enlightenment is an art that few have mastered. I’m certainly not there yet. But what if we were able to be so fully in our bodies and in the present moment that our powerful essence attracted whatever we needed?

This is my goal of the moment. Being in love with right now… and having faith that my presence will light my path and attract my highest life.

Motto from Iraq

My sister received a business email from a citizen of Iraq. He had the following quote at the bottom of his email:

“Any Day Above Ground Is A Good Day”

Later in the week I received an email from a dear friend of mine who is an American soldier/spiritual warrior stationed in Iraq. He shared that he relies on the motto, “This too shall pass.”

Peace Studies

Last weekend The North Dakota Peace Studies program brought me to Bismark to speak about the connection between inner peace and world peace.

The network of people actively seeking peace is growing. I picture it as bands of light connected to one another across the globe. It was such a privilege to be amongst a group of people who put their hearts and souls into cultivating peace in their community and beyond.

What’s your motto?

The other day I wrote that my motto for the next phase of my life is “less is more.” The very next day a friend gave me a copy of a new magazine called Motto, www.whatsyourmotto.com. It’s a great magazine tying together purpose, passion, and profit.

It’s a compelling idea to have a motto. I love “less is more.” As I get older I find myself wearing less makeup, buying less clothes and wearing the same favorites over and over. I’m keeping my car past the three year mark. The main message of my work right now is to shed layers that cover our essence… less truly is more.

What’s your motto?

It’s official!
