The New Year is here and here we are!  LUCKY US!  How exciting to be alive, to be here on this journey privileged to DREAM our asses off for the joy of it, for the love of our Self and all.  To cut our Self off from the dreams, our sacred longings, our heart’s desires is to deaden our Self while breath is still pulsing through our body, dragging our Self around this world bored stiff, a walking corpse.  Our spirit, ever-free gives us wake up calls if we tune in and listen to the whispers, the tugs, the urges.  The gift of experiencing the death of many loved ones is I truly know there is no promise of tomorrow and live life one day at a time, claiming the love, the joy, the beauty, the fun – living the celebration that life truly is and tuning in to What’s next?  instead of being devoured by obligations and caging my Self by believing I don’t have choices.  I exercise my power of choice moment by moment, day by day entering the newness, living open, flowing with life and daring to DREAM my ass off.  And this feels damn good!  This is freedom in the truest sense where I am enlivened by this dance with the infinity of life, knowing my Self, knowing I am the offering and it is my joy to share the gifts bestowed upon me and knowing anything is possible – ANYTHING!

The invitation this day is to sit with your Self.  Grab a pen and notebook and write out your dreams.  Create a vision for your life, for 2014.  Paint a picture of life that reflects you, that honors your sacred longings, your heart’s desires.  What do you want?  What do you crave to experience?  What’s next?  Let go of how?!  Focus on what you want, tell the truth to your Self and don’t limit or censor all that comes forward.  Trust your higher Self to guide you into choices, events that will bring your dreams to life and will lead you into a life you absolutely love which is the greatest act of service to all.  Live open and let go of any attachments of how it will unfold.  Step into your life, into your dreams choice by choice, day by day.  Plan and expect it to unfold through your effort and the graces of the universe assisting you, partnering with you, longing to take you beyond your wildest dreams, freeing your joy, following your BLISS.   Hold the vision and stay the course come what may, knowing it is all perfect – the dream is realized and you are letting go of all that blocks you from living it.  Be excited!  This is YOUR life, your magic carpet ride, your wondrous adventure.  Give it ALL you got!  Let more of YOU come out to PLAY.  Shock your Self!  Surprise!  Surprise!  Surprise!

Years ago, a friend returning from Thailand where she studied massage for several weeks shared that her favorite thing about her time there immersed in the culture was that people asked her: How is YOUR Heart? which invited her to drop into her heart and tune in to where she was at various points in the day.  This helped her become conscious when she was feeling heavy, over-burdened, overwhelmed holding her breath anxious and fraught with worry, doubt and fear.  And she became aware of how it felt when her heart was wide open and light, believing in the beauty of life soaking up the goodness and the joy ever-present, always there within us.  This practice stayed with her long after she arrived back home understanding how essential it is to listen to our heart as it is beyond sentimental; it is wise, fierce and speaks the Truth if we dare to let it guide us, free us, unlock more love longing to express right here, right now.

I can remember asking my mom as she laid there with her body broken unable to do all that she used to enjoy, all that longed to do:  How is YOUR Heart today?  She immediately smiled just from the asking and lit up giggling quietly.  Her grin crooked, her face slanted from the neurological disorder with every line in her face carved deeply from years of pain, she was magnificent!  Her heart revealed the beauty even in the midst of unbearable struggle where she wished her life to end.  I sat with her basking in her light – always there even in her brokenness.  This tender moment lives within me still; the power of love, the heart’s greatest gift revealed pouring from her to me to the whole of the world.

The invitation this day is to check in with your Self all day long asking:  How is my heart?  When it is heavy with worry, doubt and fear, let it go! Trust that the answers come living open centered within our Self, tuned in.  Make space by breathing into your heart, smiling within your Self freeing the joy that is ever-present springing from you, reminding you to believe in the beauty of your life, the miracle you are, the magic that you live breath by breath.  Choose to cultivate your heart – a divine instrument, pure LOVE embodied with immeasurable power to heal us, to lead us home to the Truth of us and to free our spirit to sing and clap and dance no matter the circumstances we are facing.  Tend to your Self compassionately, kindly and gently letting go of judgment, criticism, perfectionism that strips your love of Self, your love of life.  Find your way again and again and again all day long, all life-long to the well of love within your very heart and drink from this cup that nourishes us like nothing else.  Living a heart-based life, we shower the world with our sacred heart lighting the way for all to return home.
