Sing, Sing a Song...


What a great day. Sold lots of sponsorships for the golf tournament and had a great practice with the gals from COUGAR this evening. In fact, I just got back from Leslie's house. Joanne and I almost always travel together to practices because we live so close together.

Because we travel together, it's given me a wonderful opportunity to get to know her. She's an amazing person. Her soul just beams with light and love and a bitingly good sense of sarcasm and humour. Basically, I think she's awesome.

Leslie is a visionary - a leader - and such a kind soul. She (well, both of them have) has been so welcoming to me, I feel like I've finally found my musical home. Leslie is super talented in everything she does. Her artwork is amazing and she has decorated her home in such a wonderfully whimsical way that you feel like you're walking into a creative energy field. You are inspired just being in that space.

Both of these lovely ladies are beautiful in every single way, have voices of angels and I feel so blessed by being a part of this crazy trio.

Inspired

What does that really mean? Inspired. To be inspired is to be "in spirit" .. immersed in the light and love of the source energy. These ladies inspire me. They lift me up. I was telling them today that I've never really had "girl friends" before. I mean, I have had girl friends, but not BFF's if you know what I'm talking about.

Happiness. That's what today has been.

Flowing vs. Paddling Upstream

Hey, I made it back here in one piece! Yay for me! I've also managed to keep my plants I bought last week from dying too. Big coup for me. My mum was the one with the green thumb - me, not so much unfortunately.

So... I had a bit of a rough day today. It tested just about every ounce of my patience and then some. There are a lot of changes coming at work and I'm not sure where I'm going to fall in any of them. I've been told that I still have a job, which is good.. don't get me wrong... but the job I absolutely fell in love with isn't going to look anything like that once the Powers that Be (PTB) get through with it.

That brings me to the "Soul" question.

Why am I calling all of this in?

It's coming because I've asked it to come. I know this... but what lesson am I needing to learn? Is it about change? Is it about something to do with relationships and how I get along with people? Is it pushing me into another situation (job) because I'm "done" in this position? I'm not sure.

Letting Go...

Am I supposed to suck it up and just let the river flow? Maybe that's it... maybe this is my opportunity to trust and surrender to the way that will lead me to where I'm supposed to be... letting go of my oars and pointing my canoe downstream, floating effortlessly to where I'll be happy.

Who knows, all these changes might make the job I love even better and I won't have to leave.

Hey, angels - if you're listening (and I know you are...) please help me to let go of my oars. Help me to see the path that my soul will be most happy on. Help me keep my eyes and my heart focused on what I'm supposed to be on this enormous ball of dirt for.

~Amen

One Step In Front of the Other

I recently came across an amazing book and DVD by James Arthur Ray called Harmonic Wealth. Not only is James a fantastic speaker, he's an incredible visionary. He puts this "Law of Attraction" stuff into real, tangible, do-able perspective. He explains HOW it works.

I've been on this journey to find the things on this earth that will make my soul sing for a while now. It's been about 5 years that I've really started to do the real work on my journey here and I'm always open to hearing different ways of the timeless truths to be explained. Hopefully, there will be an epiphany and I'll finally "get it". I think the first job to tackle is finding out what exactly "it" is.

I know that my relationships with friends and family are wonderful. There's been a LOT of hard work that's gone into that. I want all that life has to give me. I know that sounds extremely selfish, but I think that's the first key in all of this. To nourish myself and protect and heal myself first - the true definition of being "selfish". This is not unlike being on an airplane with a young child and being told to put your own oxygen mask on BEFORE you do anything else. You'd be useless if you passed out from lack of oxygen before you could help your child or loved one.

For me, this will be a huge release of a cleansing breath from my lungs - things that I've been holding back for fear of upsetting people. I have a burning desire to be whole, happy and wealthy in every aspect of my life.

If you're reading this, it may mean that you and I are on the same path. As I find things out, I'll blog about them here. Sharing insight is a very valuable tool.

Much affection,
Alison
