More Adventurous Than a Hollywood Story!

"Romantic Love is simply an extension of

Your Love Affair with Yourself"

    Blissful Harmony

Love is a continuous journey of extensive self discovery.  We are always living, loving and learning who we are, where we are and evolving into who we are becoming in the present moment (this evolution never ceases).  Love shows us that we can give far more of ourselves than we ever thought, expose much more of our true selves than is comfortable and can receive priceless lessons and experiences than you ever expected. 

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

                                           T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

“Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.”

Joss Whedon

Love is not the music pounding picture painted for us in Hollywood Movies, nor is it a Fairytale.  Love is however, very rich in Vitamins A, C and D (Adventure, Compromise and Discovery).  Love is not all flowers, cuddle time, candlelite and massages.  Love is actually more like a personal trainer, designed specifically with you in mind, sent to bend you and stretch you far beyond the limitations that you were NOT EVEN AWARE EXISTED! 

Love Is by far so much deeper, more valuable and More Adventurous Than any Hollywood Story!!!

Evolve (It'sTime 2 Go 2 the Next Level)

It's been a bit since I put fingers to keys, so I thought with this topic bouncing around in my head why not share.  This past weekend I enjoyed a Sunday out with some great young people and during our Sunday adventure a message was shared which deposited this in my spirit: When it is Your Time 2 go to the Next Level, you should be different than you were before.  Zipping in and out of daily life, setting goals, dreaming new dreams, and striving forever striving to go to greater heights we can easily get off track of where in the world we truly need to be heading in order to feel the most joy and peace.  We may begin to believe that our joy and peace will be found once we get this or achieve that and in deed this and/or that may contribute to them but they more often than not will not be the epitome of walking in our Divine Purpose (which it isn't normally where we will experience the most joy and peace).  We tend to have many obligations, people who depend on us, things we feel we MUST DO or the world will absolutely cease to go round (LOL..I am not the only one who has felt this way..be honest).  We somehow function this way for years, not realizing that the solution is many times challenging yet simple; Evolve, evolve, evolve!!! Give yourself not only permission but a charge to Evolve to the Next Level of your journey.  Stop holding yourself back by playing the same old film about your life up to this point in your head, over and over again.  You can either be your BIGGEST FAN or your most intense foe, it is up to you.  You can be your own cheering section, by being teachable and being willing to learn things that up to now you may have been hesitant or downright scared to learn.  As for me, I am learning my way around the kitchen (for those who know me..no smart comments or loud laughter and thanks in advance) and learning to ask for help when I need it which has been hard for me.  In this part of my journey it is amazing how God brings help from some of the most unexpected places and how the blessings flow abundantly on us when we step outside of our comfort zone and trust evolving will most DEFINATELY take us outside of our comfort zone so get ready.  That being said, we are not really living an abundant life if we are always comfy (sorry but it's true).  As we move out of our zones and start to blaze new paths, we will find we are evolving and becoming what we were destined to be.  The Awesomeness of this is that since no man is an island and in reality we really do all impact one another in some small way.  We all need each other to be fully who we are supposed to be, full of love, full of forgiveness, walking in our Divine Purpose, being teachable and being cheerful givers.  When we begin to truly live this way, we will look different, talk different, many times dress different, worship and praise different!!!

 So again let us rise up and  Evolve (It is indeed Time 2 Go 2 the Next Level)!!                      

Love is....

LOVE is an amazing force!  It heals, restores, gives hope, gives life, does not judge, forgives and comforts....but yet is simple and pure! Love wants the absolute best for each of us and is willing to Bomb our mental house if it is dysfunctional, dormant or unproductive. 

Love is an action word that INSPIRES us to Dream and to reconstruct our way of thinking, so that how we have been conditioned to believe and think (which unfortunately many times is not conducive to the ability to transform our dreams into reality) can evolve.  Love is that force that encourages and supports us to do the necessary mental work when we finally realize it is indeed time to regenerate our minds (the damaging and hindering way of thinking can be wiped out and rebuilt to be a LIMITLESS way of thinking).  Only then can we embark on and fully welcome the LIFE we were actually Born to Live, which is an EXCEPTIONAL and ABUNDANTLY ADVENTUROUS life!!! 

The Power of Encouragement!

Sometimes, every now and again, we all will come to a place where we will either be in need of an encouraging word, hug, smile or will be a deliverer of one or more of the above.  Life is said to be an adventure and we are pushed to Ride the Wave!!!  In all well written adventure tales, there should be excitement, anticipation, disappointments, moments of waiting, captivity, escape and VICTORIOUS Endings!!! What makes the adventure worth while is a person's attitude, determination, love, faith, hope and joy for the journey.  I look around and see all kinds of things occurring in my life and the lives of friends and loved ones.  Births, graduations, illness, bankruptcy, divorce, marriage, love found, love lost, self discovery, losing homes, buying new homes and even death.  It is said, in this life we are sure to have trials and tribulations and it is important to learn to be grateful for it all, remembering that all things work together to create a Divine Design that could not be birthed if everything at all times was all good.  There is a timing that may not seem like perfect timing to you, but is indeed the Divine Right time for the precious and challenging moments that make up the tapestry of our lives.  As we experience this life, overcoming the seemingly dream threatening ups and downs, remember to take some time to engage in the Power of Encouragement!!  It will revive you, renew you and center you.  It truly will inspire you to continue to Ride the Waves of life, to keep on keeping on.  Encourage somebody today and start with lovingly encouraging yourself...Muah!
