Forgiving ( Forgiveness) of Self / October 12th, 2022

 I have to forgive myself today, I am not a "super-human"anymore, the way I was ten years ago & running the shop business and having what I thought was a big life.

And even that wasn't enough for me, I felt that I had more in me, I had to do more & show more. I took all kinds of work-shops directed toward helping the business succeed and then went to work & tried to apply it. At the Apple stores, both Old Pasadena & Glendale, I signed up for 2-3 workshops a week. iPhoto, Pages, and the old favorite, iWeb.

I went to classes almost anywhere & everywhere, attending workshops on Wilshire Blvd at the "Small Business Association", while attending Trade Technical College.  In the end, I was exhausted & I am still tired, yet refusing to admit it. Like a fighter going down in the 5th round, I keep getting back up  despite the fact that I'm so done. 

And after the combination of my fathers suicide & onset of menopause, ( and leaving a business of 25 years)  and I told myself..."I'm just going to get a little part-time job & work a few hours a day". 

I don't need to run so hard anymore...and why am I'm running so hard ?

And this has worked for a little while, yet the beast of busyness has reared it's head again. 

And I have to forgive myself over & over, not letting the self-defeat thoughts fold into my being and layer with the trauma of being human on this planet & not doing enough. 

I forgive myself for not attending that free Zoom workshop on "Marketing oneself with Social Media". And I let it go now. Please help me God, Thank you.

Create / What is a God Box & how do you use it?

The main idea and concept of a “God Box”, is a place where you can store your written prayers, intentions, & even the future dreams you wish to manifest. You can also ask for help or guidance around a certain situation. If you have a need / desire you want to surrender, and you believe in something bigger than yourself, Higher Power, God, or Spirit, then getting a God Box is a good idea. You will need an actual container with a lid. It can be a box, a can, or even a jar. It can be plain or decorated, big or small, as long as it has a lid. Once you have your “container”, you can write out your wishes, intentions, prayers, and desires on a piece of paper as they come up. If you wish, write them out as a letter to God, asking for what you need. This is a powerful act of surrendering, and letting go . It is a ritual of sorts, and you can choose how & when you do it. I use my God box at least 1X or 2X a week. I put almost everything that I need help with, from big things ...

Create / Feeding your Creativity

Creativity - The use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work. Feeding our creativity is like eating a healthy diet with the right combinations of tools and techniques. Getting grounded, spending quality alone time, healthy treats, and music are all good things to feed our spirit & soul with, which can promote our creativity. 1) Getting grounded- Breathe, get connected with nature. Prioritize your physical wellness by getting good rest, eating right, & exercising. Good rest & sleep restores our physical bodies, and that can feel good. Eating a healthy well balanced diet feeds our cells & body parts with what they need, good food is like good gas in our tank. Exercise raises our serotonin levels, and flushes out stale energy from our bodies. This helps us to feel better and stay grounded & more connected with our physical bodies. 2) Spend some alone time & schedule an “Artist Date” with yourself. Accordi...

Love / Prosperity

What is Prosperity? The definition from “Oxford Languages” tell us that Prosperity is “The State of being Prosperous”, and one of the true meanings of Prosperity can mean: “The condition of being successful or thriving” For myself, Prosperity is about having happiness & health, along with wealth, as these 3 conditions support each other beautifully. No matter what’s going on in our lives, we can have that, and many of us already do without realizing it. We are born pure, a clean slate that becomes imprinted from the moment we take our first breath. We become disconnected, and our “clean slate” can and often does get imprinted with negative beliefs and thoughts that can keep us from our true source. The capacity of prosperity, deep joy, and health is within us, but how can we take hold of it and keep it on a day-to-day basis? 1). Awareness: This means taking a real & true look at one’s-self, life, and conditions. Writing it all down can really show us what we are dea...
