INTEGRITY

What is your truth? What values are so important to you that you would defend them to the death? If you have never taken the time to figure this out--today might be good!

As th consciousness of Planet Earth evolves into higher levels, we are being pushed to move into our individual places of integrity. This starts with gentle nudges, but if we don't respond, those nudges turn into cosmic two by fours! We get presented with people and situations that push our buttons and challenge our core beliefs, causing us to have to make some really uncomfortable choices. How many of us have been experiencing this (or is it just me)?

Here's a tip to make this time of personal and spiritual growth easier to navigate:

Make a list of your core beliefs and use them to create a Personal Mission Statement. Next make a shield or plaque that proudly displays your Mission Statement. Have fun with this project! Put it in a place where you can be reminded regularly of your mission. This will help you to stay in your integrity, and when you are there, your boundaries are strong and you are protected.

FInding The Joy In The Holiday Season

Holidays can be difficult times for many. This year is no exception. Third dimensional reality displays rampant unemployment, sickness, and governmental upheaval. If we aren't careful, we can easily get pulled into the drama. In fact, many of us on our path to higher consciousness unconsciously allow the thoughts of the masses to influence our emotions. How many times to you find yourself sad or depressed for no obvious reason?

This time of year should be a time of joy and a time of renewal. Almost every spiritual tradition supports this, but where is this joy? Are you having difficulty decorating your house or buying holiday gifts this year? There seems to be a pervasive sense of lethargy hanging in the air.

Let's use our thoughts to become the change! If everyone who reads this blog participates, this could be a truly great experiment. Set aside a moment to go within to that place where love resides inside you. Look in that safe place where you store your treasures, right behind your heart. This is where you find the joy that can light up this holiday season for you, and when you flip that switch, you send your Light out into the world so that others can see it and remember the truth about why we are here. It can become a domino effect.

The real purpose behind this holiday season isn't the giving of gifts or the fancy parties. It is the remembering and rebirthing of your own personal TRUTH. You are both unique and powerful as the creator of your reality, and this season offers you the time to use your personal gifts to do just that - to create JOY. As you remember the feelings of joy, they become contagious, and you are able to share them with other. As you share joy, it grows within you. So take a moment each day to become joy.

And just in case I don't tell you enough, I am deeply grateful to each of you for the joy you ignite within my heart and in my life. Thank you!
