Happiness is Being Called FRIEND!

Ohhh, to Be Called FRIEND! Being called Friend is the Greatest of all experiences for Me. The truest Riches of this Life known in Connection: Human to Human. Heart to Heart. Soul to Soul. The Nurturing Love of Friends is essential feeding us through connection. This mutual Exchange of Good juju that is a Constant, wanting Only GOOD for each other. The mere Existence of Friends creates a Sense of Safety as we Go about our Days living our Lives. Grounding Us When we feel lost in this World. Breathing us Back Home. Holding us together when we Feel shattered by Events and Circumstances. Helping us find our Way loving us as we walk Into new depths of our Self and Life. Friends sincerely celebrate who we Are and who we Are becoming. Friends See us mirroring our Beauty and singing Us back home to Our Self when we forget we Matter. Friends make space for our Crazy allowing Us to Be fully Human and being Human includes Feeling F*cking CRAZY. Letting go of the Known and Reaching for the More calling us to New Shores. They meet Us wherever we Are. Looking Us in the Eye pouring their Heart into US allowing the Honesty between us to liberate the Truth. Healing moments. The Power of LOVE beyond Our Human Scope. No Trying to Fix us reminding Us we are Not Broken. Reminding us we are ALIVE and living includes cycles that feel as if we are dying. It is Possible to walk through personal Hells held by LOVE. This NO judgment zone in the Energy of True Friendship lifts the Shame and Guilt that can swallow Us whole. Love is the Miracle. Loving Us back on Home with words, hugs, tenderness and the Fierceness of a mama Bear fighting for our Life when our Own fight has Vanished. Feeling this sense of Magic in the uncensored conversations growing us Wildly in the Freedom to simply Be. To be who we Are. To say the things we must. To do what we have never Dared. Badass Brave friends make is BRAVE! And are cause for HappyAss Dancin come what May. Thank YOU for being my Friend and smiling into my Heart. And feel me smiling back into You. Always here. Always there. Ever-connected. Woo woo woofrickinhoo :)!

Songs Make Us FEEL!

Songs bring through the Intangible echoing Beauty and Truth. Songs make us FEEL! Songs sing us Home. Songs Heal as the lyrics delivered with All that Heart and Soul wash through us stirring emotions Up and Out. Songs make us FEEL what we buried long ago when it wasn't safe to express. Tears and Pain are Not honored in our Culture. We learn to repress out of Shame. Apologizing when Tears come feeling "silly" and embarrassed and ridiculous as if we are weak and unstable. Pretending. Sucking IT Up. Cut Off from our Own Nature. Then a Song comes to Liberate us as we are driving down the Road or preparing Dinner or sitting in a moment. Grabbing Us. Opening Us. Breathing Life into Us. Releasing tears that are ALIVE. Freeing energy held by the unexpressed pain. Always there. Waiting on Us to claim it. And USE IT instead of IT using us, holding our precious life Force. The Songs Ride us into parts of us we have locked away. Silenced. Buried While breath still pulses through our bodies. Deadened. Surviving Life instead of being Alive in the Direct experiences connected to Our Spirit, Our Truest Self as We journey this Human Adventure. Held by the Hurt in ways we are not conscious of until we Let them Come. We actually Believe the Pain will Kill Us if we Feel it. When we never Grieve, we get stuck in the Muck of the Story. Held by our History so there's no juice to Fuel this Moment, All our Dreams and Hopes that Call Us. We are here in this moment physically but our Spirit is Held in the Past. The lights appear On but we're Not Home. When we allow Grief to do what it does, we flow with Life breath by breath. Feeling IT! Daring to SEE the Truth that if we don't Feel it, It will Kill Us. Moving the Energy through the Tears that are waiting for Us to Let Go. The Pain has to Go somewhere and the alchemy is only possible in the Heart Not Intellect. Feeling is Healing. Be grateful for your Tears and your runny nose weeping emotions. What a Sweet release! A depth of Joy awakened springing from The Vitality. The Passion. Knowing All experiences are singing the Truest Song: This force of Love. Living it All. It is All You. Dance. Dance. Dance. Come Alive! Returning to You. The Beauty of You discovered in the Ugly Truth. Woo woo woofrickinhoo :))!

Life is Ever in Motion WITH YOU!

Life is ever in Motion In the Stillness. In the Hurry. In the Hush. It is all Alive With You. With Me. With All. You are You. Distinct. Uniquely Expressing. Riding this Life into where You Never knew You would Go. You are Ever-dancing with the Universe within You and around You all of Your Days. Connecting to the Whole of You: Mind. Body. Heart. And Soul breath by breath. Listening. Honoring Your Self. Holding Your Self Sacred. Grounding in this Moment entering this Day with a Sense of Possibilities inviting the Adventure that is your Life. Feeling your feet on the Earth and knowing You are supported as You walk through this Life. Always. Wanting to Be who You Are. Materializing Your Spirit. Setting intentions for the Day consciously directing your Energy and Letting it Go. Trusting Your Higher Self which is the Creative Force of the Cosmos within You to guide You into your Greatest Joy. Following your Joy in being You and noticing when this resonance wanes as your Energy doesn't lie. Energy cannot be locked into an Idea or agree to the limitations of the mental constructs. Energy informs You and reveals when you have outgrown experiences and people. Inviting You to make Different choices to return to this Flow. Unplugging from the Old that's simply Not Enjoyable anymore, giving Thanks for all experiences and People. Stepping into the New Now. Freeing the Passion feeling this Force of Love springing from All that Heart and Soul as You Live Your Life aligned and Stoked. You are Ever-Growing the Wild, the Unknown of You. Welcoming the Surprises as More of You comes Out to Play through opportunities that knock and people you Meet along the way. This Natural pace of Life in Motion ever at Play, Blossoming in All Seasons. Experiencing YOU through Your inner Rhythm in Harmony with the Universe. Believing. Walking by Faith remembering the Force You are. Feeling the Fear and Taking it by the hand as you step into what's next. Daring to Dream your Ass off. Receiving your Self appreciating your gifts and Daring the gods to SHOW OFF through You. No time for playing Small or hiding Out when You take your Life Partner which is the Universe by the Hand. Dance. Dance. Dance. You are Untamable. Uncontainable. Truly Limitless. Grow the Fun in Being YOU. Woo woo woofrickinhoo:))!

Life RETURNS You Home!

Life is a Returning to your Own Nature remembering what lies within You. The Power of the Universe. The Wisdom of the Universe guiding You into Your Greatest Joy. Asking these Assisting Forces within You to guide You into your Truest Self and Truest Life. Asking to See what is concealed as You meet the Days. Dancing with Amazing Grace trusting this Creative Field and Asking what's not for your Highest Good to Gently Go away. Ohhh, The Letting Go. The constant Letting Go and Flowing with the life You came here to Experience. Your Spirit Materializing expressing who You are in All you Think, Do and Say. This energy of Alignment is distinct as You move through the World Being You. Not trying to Think, Do or Say the "Right" thing. Trusting your Self. Standing on your own two Feet with a Sense of who you Truly are being the Mountain feeling the Inner Strength so Limitless. This is the Truest Freedom that Grows day by day enlivening You as Vitality Springs from the Well within. There's an Ease to Life no matter how Challenging the Day as you accept where you are in the moment and Let it Be facing what comes. Knowing This is LIFE. Each moment is Alive with You. You are Participating. You are a Player in this Dream ever-awakening. You Must Be present to Your Self in the Direct Experiences. Extracting the Wisdom being in the Inquiry: "What's this here to Show Me?" And exercising your Power of Choice: "What are You going to Do about It?" Remembering that You have NO POWER over others but Always have the Power to Respond to life's events and circumstances. ALWAYS! No matter what BS you get caught in Remember: YOU are the Answer! The Power lies within You. Untangling from the Fear that will Hook you and Reel You in. Holding your Own hand as You breathe and acknowledge the Fear. Coming back to your Center and knowing your Response to Life's Happenings CHANGES the Everything. It is up to You. Never outside of You. If you look for the solution Outside of You, You will bring the Fated Intervention (the Shitstorms:)) back around in Different circumstances. Avoiding is Delaying what You (WE ALL) must inevitably Face in order to Liberate our Self. You consciously Choosing to Face Life knowing All experiences are Showing You what You Believe at your Core. And reveal where You give Power away to Others Believing You have No Choice in Matters. Being Fully Human, We all go to Sleep and we All wake Up. We All forget the Force of our Own Nature and Return to it. This Sense of Self is negotiated in the moments of your life Choice by Choice, Day by Day. It surely ain't easy but it's necessary. No way around It. You must walk THROUGH life to Find Your Way Home to YOU. You. You. Always More of You coming out to Play. Play ON and On and On. The Force is with You and WITHIN You. It IS! Woo woo woofrickinhoo :)).

ALIVE Conversations Awaken Us!

ALIVE Conversations CHANGE us! Opening us where we didn't even Know we were Closed. The Words. The shared Ideas. The Being Heard and freely Speaking all that Heart and Soul. The Energy exchanged. The depth of honesty being Spirited and Spontaneous and Saying what comes without censoring. A Conversation with John about "Awakening" and the use of Yoga and Meditation grew these words as it took me into a Conversation within My Self to simply share my Experience. What I know in this Moment is the Living of Every moment has Awakened me. And there is More to Awaken until the Final Letting Go. Always MORE Life Force, More consciousness to untether from the Past: The Story of You wrapped in limited Beliefs inherited from your Family of Origin; from Cultural spells deeply embedded in Paradigms and Constructed models; from the Collective Unconscious where these invisible Agreements have an energetic drag holding You back until you See what you simply could Not before, becoming Aware, bringing into consciousness and reclaiming Your Power choosing Not to Participate. Becoming Aware is Everything! Observing where you give Others authority over your Life, where Fear dictates your choices instead of coming from the Empowered Self. Understanding this Primal Fear of Survival is a part of the human make up so We agree to Things believing we will Die if we don't. This sounds absurd but it is Life-transforming to See the Part of us we want to deny that is sewn in the fabric of Humanity. Daring to be present to your Self in the Direct Experiences of being Fully human while connected to your divine Essence. Yes, I did practice yoga for a few years and it helped me tune into the wisdom of my body. And listen at a depth. But I also used spiritual tools to attempt to bypass LIFE. The hurt Self is always trying to protect us from more Pain which is simply a part of Life. It will use spiritual practices to Avoid and keep life from touching us. Ultimately, practices that connect Us to our Sacred Self take us into a new Depth of Experience as humans allowing us to be with Our Self and Others in the Light and the Darkness. Being fully human is badass BRAVE! Life is what we seek and this is here and now. Nirvana experienced - YOU alive at play with Life on this human journey as John and Kathy (being YOU). Dare to Listen to All that heart and soul! Meet the moments with A sense of Wonder and Awe. Let Go of trying to Control Life and Be Perfect. Above All else: Trust your Self. Stay tuned into your higher Self as you explore various practices that connect you to your Spirit. Ok? Okay:). Your Joy in being YOU is what makes Life Rich. Awakening is Seeing the Beauty of You and daring to Express it Wildly and let it GROW You. Letting go! Again and again. Liberating the Surprise of You. Love love love being YOU! Let that be your Prayer every day. Woo woo woofrickinhoo:). Grow the Fun in Being YOU!

LISTEN and SPEAK All that Heart & Soul

LISTEN with All that Heart and Soul. SPEAK All that Heart and Soul. Being You. Expressing Your Self. I Promise: It's Not about being Good. It's about being Passionate. Being Good is a Matter of Opinion. Being Passionate is a Matter of Spirit. Connected to the Source within You, You become the Sorcerer Freeing the Magic of You. Ohhh, the Joy of this Liberation is the Truest Riches. Connected to your Sacred Self, You Live as a Sacred Vessel channeling the Amazing Grace of the Universe; Seeing Your Life as Poetry, as a Prayer Growing You, Blossoming into Your Dream. The Life You came here to Live isn't about Arriving on the Mountain Top having some Peak experience; it is Truly a Dance with All that Fire You carry. Ever-exploring the Greatest Adventure of You. Flowing with Life open to What's Next anticipating More of You coming Out to Play. Daring to Be Young all Your Days and Foolish in the Eyes of Others who Do Not Hear the Music of Your Heart and Soul. The Art of You ain't over 'til it's Over. What a way to Live! Tuning Out the Conventional way and Tuning In to You living Your Way. What Feels Good to You! My mission in this Life is to Grow the Fun in being Me until I am No More. I've Unbuckled My Self. Ain't no Time for Playing it Safe and Silencing the Song within. Take my Hand. Let's go to the Edge and Jump! Let's Fly and remind others they too have Wings. One Day this Brave Heart of Mine, of Yours, will Sing No More. But All the Songs we Dared to Sing will Sweetly Live On. Don't Stop the Music of You! Play On and On and On. Woo woo woofrickinhoo:))!!

The Growing Conversation within Your Self!

This Growing Conversation within Your Self. Your Spirit ever-calling You Into new depths of You. Daring you to Listen with All that Heart and Soul instead of following the herd surviving the Days cut Off from the Passion within, the Vitality ever-Springing. Touching the heavens as You stand here on Earth fully Human making Your way. This walk Home returning to Your Self Comes in the Letting Go. Letting Go of the constructed Self built by External Identifiers. Buying into what The Good Life looks Like. Letting Go and Learning to Trust your Own Nature. Knowing what matters most to You. Living your way into what you want and need consciously tuned into Your Self. Becoming comfortable in Your Own skin that is Uniquely Yours. Materializing Your Spirit. Knowing This is the Life You came here to Live. Expressing the Essence of You. Mining for the Gold within and giving it Away. Remembering the truest Pain in Life is Not showing Up for the Sacred Dance that is Yours. Distinctly moving in this World as You. As only You can! Amazing Grace in the Flesh riding you into More of You and Life for Your Joy. Finding our Way to Our Self includes Getting Lost. It's Okay. No shame. No wrong. It is Purposeful! Missing from our Own Lives as we plug into Dreams that belong to Others is necessary to bring Clarity around who we Truly Are and what we Truly want. Resentment and Bitterness are energies that spring from the Dissatisfaction trying to Fit into a Life that's Not ours. Energy NEVER lies! Energy is No BS as we go into a deficit experiencing no Juice. Feeling like a shell walking through Life disconnected from Our Spirit. The Lights appear on because we are physically still here but No One is Home. Our Truest Self is kicking and Screaming and won't let us Rest until we Listen. Waking us Up in the Night with Haunting feelings that grip Us. The Forces within will Not let us Settle for a Life that isn't aligned with Us no matter how Extraordinary it appears. Life must Make sense at our Core. Otherwise, we Try to Live an Idea that Makes sense to the Culture or Family. The invitation this Day is to Let Go! Let Go! Let Go! Talk to your Higher Self. Knowing you House the Wisdom of the Universe that's not attached to Old paradigms and beliefs. This Creative Force within You only wants to Lead You into YOU for your Greatest Joy; for the Love of Living this Life. In this Flow, you Meet all that Comes your way with an Abiding THANK YOU, smiling and nodding: Yes!!! This is My Life. Grounding in a Sense of your Sacredness in All moments. The ones you wanna Wish away and the ones that make You Dance Ecstatically. Seeing YOU! Knowing if you wished Away even One Moment, You would be Wishing Who You have Become from meeting that Moment. All moments are ALIVE with You. Feeling the Truth and Beauty of You ever-Blossoming as each moment waters You and Nourishes your Soul in Fulfilling your Destiny. Happyass Dance to your Homecoming breath by breath, day by day. You are the Greatest Adventure of this Life! Your Dream is Awaiting Your Arrival. Woo woo woofrickinhoo:)). Ohhh, the Magic of You. BELIEVE! BELIEVE! BELIEVE! I surely Do.
