August 2020 Blog: From Overcoming to Becoming

Here we are in August and another month of following safe habits to ensure that we are whole, well, and healthy not only for ourselves but for all those around us that we love. It has become a responsibility as a citizen of my community and my country as a whole to follow what will keep me and my loved ones safe and healthy.

This brings me to the divine guidance I received today to write this blog.  (I always ask for guidance on what message to share!)

I believe in intention and I believe that we create our reality. As my friend says, “If you name it, you claim it.” You can add to that, “What we think about comes about.”

Your words matter. Your feelings about the words matter. How you express those words matter.

As an example:

  • ·        Are you in state of trying or doing? Trying does not imply the force of will of conviction that the word doing does.
  • ·        Are you in a state of healing or wellness? Healing means working toward wellness where the word wellness is a state of being knowing that you are whole and healthy.

And now to BECOMING rather than OVERCOMING.

According to definition:

Overcoming: succeed in dealing with a problem or difficulty

Becoming: the process of coming to be something or of passing into a state of being

Overcoming is working on the problem where Becoming is moving into something better.

Overcoming is continuing to stay in the problem without resolution.

Becoming is to move away from the problem into something better.

With intention, I’m choosing to see my life becoming something better.

  • ·        Life is becoming more mindful of the people that I love.
  • ·        Life is becoming more connected to those I care about.
  • ·        Life is becoming more purposeful each day.
  • ·        Life is becoming full of doing those things I always wished I had time for.
  • ·        Life is becoming truer to authenticity.

How are YOU becoming?

What does becoming mean to YOU?

Please share your wisdom as we are all becoming even more than we ever imagined!

 

Love,

Donna

 

 

 

July Blog: Turn Down the Noise

It’s July and our month to celebrate Independence Day. It may not be feeling like that free and independent at the moment. We all long for the day of freedom to be out and about as we please as we did a few months ago. In order to arrive at that time while waiting for a vaccine that will seem like a miracle, we’re back to living like the raccoon with masks, hand washing and social distancing.

And it’s just fine with me! What I’ve learned to do is turn down the noise, listen to the bumper sticker version of what I need to know for my best interests and that of those around me, and to walk out of the fear to see myself and the world as whole, healthy and well!

You may be thinking…. There she goes again! I understand. Let me share my AHA moment from this past weekend.

Last Sunday was Father’s Day. I was not home but visiting family. I had set up to do my Facebook Live, begun the reading when a phone rang near me and a loud conversation about Father’s Day began (while using the speaker function) in the next room.

When doing a reading, my first purpose is to connect with Source to share the message that is given to me with the Tarot cards as a tool/catalyst. I’m really just the conduit for the message, the message is not mine. Maintaining that connection is paramount to the reading and now I was feeling shaky in that connection.

My first impulse was to get up from the Facebook Live and ask the person to be quiet. That’s not what I teach! No one is responsible for my well being except me!

My next impulse was to work very, very hard on maintaining the connection and continuing with the message I was to give in the Father’s Day reading. That was in alignment with my purpose.

So I focused. I mean I focused!!! It wasn’t easy and I continued.  The Live lasted 30 minutes and 15 minutes, half the time, was the possible distraction. Whew!

This week I asked my friend how it went and what she thought about the reading.

This was my AHA moment.

She told me that it was a distraction at first, but when she saw me continuing as if the noise wasn’t there, completing the reading with a focused message and sharing love for the occasion, it was a lesson in not allowing what’s not important to be a distraction.

What a lesson!!

What if you choose to view life now in that way. I don’t mean that you’re not paying attention to what’s going on or learning what you need to do to remain healthy.

I’m referring to stopping the continuous chatter that creates stress, fear and anger.

Turn down the noise!

Only you can make that choice. You can switch, pivot, change, whatever word you want to use, your thoughts at that moment to something of joy. I see my grandson’s smiling face and I haven’t seen him in four months!

Protect yourself to be healthy both physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Turn down the noise!

Give it a try. We’re moving back into a place of more caution while out and about.

You can do this for YOU!

Turn down the noise!

Wishing you a happy, healthy and free July!

All are a choice you can make!

Love,

Donna

June: Finding Joy in the Simplest of Things!

We have now entered the month of June! How could that be? For over two months we’ve been listening and watching the scary news of THE virus. We’ve been sheltering at home, communicating through zoom so we can still see and hear those that are important to us, and been out and about with masks and/or gloves.

It’s time to take a look at this from a different perspective.

While on my walk this morning, I asked Source for a theme for this month’s blog. The message I received was to just look around me!

So I did. I employed all my senses to do this fun assignment divinely given.

I saw and heard the birds. How different and exciting. The birds are so happy. Nothing seems to bother them or get in their way as they keep focused on their mission in life. I have a wren’s next on my porch and the babies have hatched. Mom and Dad are flying furiously back and forth to the next to feed their brood of five. They’re totally focused and committed to raising their babies.

I saw the squirrels dashing here and there. I stopped and was entertained by one that was doing his best to get into the neighbor’s bird feeder. What a show!

I could smell the newly mowed grass of a neighborhood home.

As I walked up the hill, the breeze began to blow on this humid morning. It cooled by skin and I was so appreciative of the change.

Neighbors were out walking this morning. Each person or couple had a pleasant hello, good morning or how are you? All done with a smile and I felt happy and blessed.

As the fog lifted, the sun shone through the trees in intermittent patterns on me and the road. It was almost a game of hopscotch and it was fun!

I returned home to journal while sitting on my porch. A mockingbird serenaded me with its multiple tunes of mimicking the songs of other birds.

I talked to my son to be sure he picked up the Amazon items for my grandson to continue and reinforce his home schooling.  He’s in Miami where the restrictions are a bit more stringent that here in Tallahassee. Oh, how I miss them!

I am blessed! I am whole, healthy, and well! I am loved!

I appreciate that I am here to share a message of appreciation for all that I have and experience.

What is your message for today?

Love,

Donna

 

 

May 2020 Blog

THE NEW NORMAL

Here we are in our new normal. We’ve been isolated and quarantined, except for essential personnel; tested and not working or in close contact with family and friends. In some places we haven’t been able to go to the grocery store and have had to rely on delivery of food and medicines.

This just isn’t normal.

The question has been asked of me; Would I have changed anything if I knew that the quarantine was coming? I really gave this a lot of thought and came out with the answer of No.

Why?

This has been a whole new learning of an unknown experience. For some, it’s life threatening. I’m in the over 65 category, yet very healthy.

My attitude has been one of faith that all will be well. I realize I said this last month and I’m now even more steadfast in the belief that it will. It HAS to be! I’ve chosen not to invite the virus or lack into my life!

What have I learned?

  • ·        I’ve learned that I can be my own best friend.
  • ·        I’ve learned more about my technology in order to stay in touch with those I care about.
  • ·        I’ve learned that there are always things to do around my home.
  • ·        I’ve learned to appreciate my home and know that I love living here.
  • ·        I’ve learned that even if I don’t have Zumba and dance lessons to attend, I can do them at home including adding in yoga classes that I didn’t know existed prior to the virus. The new ones that have been added by my friend, a yoga teacher and lifestyle coach, have been great.
  • ·        I’ve learned to enjoy reading from a book again. I love the feel of a book in my hand…and my iPad, but a book is so earthy and substantial.
  • ·        I’ve learned to connect with my family, especially my 4 year old grandson on video as he moves around the room to show me his toys.
  • ·        I’ve learned to connect with my clients in a different and deeper way and it feels good!
  • ·        I’ve learned to love me in this independence and freedom of solitude.

My heart goes out to all those that have been suffering from this disease and new way of living.

My heart is filled with thankfulness for all the essential workers that are keeping us healthy.

My heart breaks for those that have lost income and the ability to pay for their home or food.

My heart embraces the children that are learning from home (and the parents and family that are homeschooling) to work on making life a bit “normal”.

Yet, my heart is full and continues to overflow with love that sees this world whole, healthy and well in the NEW normal.

We are whole, healthy and well. 

How do you see this new normal and your new life in the future?

Please respond and let me know. I really, really do want to hear from you.

Amen!

Love,

Donna

 

 

 

April 2020: FAITH over FEAR!


Last night I awoke at 4:00am. Nature called as usual. However, things were not as usual. On returning to bed, I was overcome with fear and panic. I’ve worked really hard to overcome allowing fear and panic into my life. Yet, it wasn’t feeling good! I wasn’t feeling good!

What was the cause? Was it the pandemic? Money? Family? Food? My home? Friends? Health?

Turned out it was all the above and the free floating fear and anxiety was beginning to spiral out of control and have me curled up in a fetal position in my bed as I started with the “What ifs….”.

Until I realized what had happened. I watched the news! Yes, the regular network news with 8 reporters telling about what horrible and unimaginable things happening all over the country and the world.

What was I thinking??

FEAR SELLS! We all tend to listen to media and the stories can be horrific giving the feeling that everything will jump right out of the TV into your living room.

I decided that I have a choice! YOU have a choice!!

My dear friend gave me the pictured shirt that says FAITH over FEAR!

I chose FAITH!

Will YOU choose FAITH?

The FAITH that all is well!

The FAITH that we are resilient and strong!

The FAITH that we will have money for now and the future!

The FAITH that your family will remain healthy, whole and well!

Will you choose FAITH over FEAR!

If you have any doubts, fears or concerns, please reach out. I’m here for you!

Remember, JOY (not FEAR) has your name on it!

 

Love,

Donna

 

You Have a Choice March Blog and Horoscopes

You ALWAYS Have a Choice!

It’s March and it’s time to be ready with horoscopes for the month along with my message or blog. I have been waiting for inspiration; that little nudge from Spirit that says, “This is what you should share”. It wasn’t coming even in meditation.

During my call this morning with my VA (Virtual Assistant), Arsalan, and a genius who is teaching me the ins and outs of Google searching with his unlimited patience, we discovered that the 7 of Cups was top in the searches this month. I was thinking, “Why the 7 of Cups?”

The 7 of Cups represents choices, options, possibilities, and a course of action. What a beautiful thing! How many times have you said to yourself that you didn’t have any other choice? The interesting thing about the 7 of Cups is that the card shows seven images with some of them less than delightful choices.

It is a reminder that we ALWAYS have a choice…we just may not always like the choices!

  • ·        Some of your options may be illusions; the story you made up in your head about a scenario that would have a negative outcome.
  • ·        Some of the options are real and could be hazardous to your health, emotions and spirit.
  • ·        Some of the options are about letting go and releasing what has proven to not be in your best interest.
  • ·        Some of the options will be helpful and bring you to your highest good.

It’s amazing what your imagination can create.

Now, here’s the real test: which option serves you best?

Look around you. How many choices do you have to make in a day or a moment?

  • ·        What to eat?
  • ·        What bills to pay?
  • ·        What clothes to wear today for my big event?
  • ·        What discipline to use with my children?
  • ·        Is this the right person in my life?
  • ·        Should I move? Or change jobs?
  • ·        What candidate to vote for in the upcoming election?
  • ·        And many, many more!

The most sound and workable advice that I can give you (and use myself) is to follow what feels good and to follow your heart?

  • ·        Does this feel right to you?
  • ·        Do you feel annoyed, aggravated, or resentful or do you feel appreciation, caring and love?
  • ·        Can I follow how I feel and be true to me or do I have to follow what’s trending on social media?
  • ·        Can I be an example of living authentically or must I abide by the opinions of my co-workers or family?

In this day and age, this time and place of so much coming at you through media on all levels, it becomes confusing on what is the best choice for you to make on any subject of importance.

Make the choice easy, follow your heart and what feels good!

Trust me! It does work!
