We Are Creating

Beyond Possibilities

As I scrolled through Facebook on Tuesday, June 16, 2022 a friend shared the following image:

Another friend responded “I actually wish them pain now šŸ˜‰” With a link to a the following song:

This hit home. 18 1/2 years ago we moved because we where running from my X-husband. As my family prepares to move once again, there are major differences. First we as a family are not running. Second we are creating new opportunities. Third we are energetically preparing ourselves, our current home and our future home through prayer, meditation, setting intentions, shielding, smudging, and defusing essential oils.

As I continued to reflect I realized that our pain has allowed us growth. We have all had amazing things, hard things, funny things, and painful things happen while in our current house. We have met amazing people along the way, we have shared amazing memories, and learned valuable lessons. I am grateful for the people we are becoming through our experiences. Some of our greatest growth through our time as a family has come from pain.

I choose the pain that may come from moving to allow us expanded growth. So as we are selecting our new home we are creating what type of home we want it to be. We are creating the physical aspect we want in our new home as well was the energetic aspects we want. Just like we created in our current home we want our new space to be one of love, laughter, hope, peace, healing, possibilities and growth spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally. We want a place where all who enter in feel welcome and accepted. We are excited to cook, bake, grill, smoke, learn, play, and grow together. Creating a new chapter completely from possibility, hope, love, and excitement is invigorating. Here’s to living from creation daily!

Mindful Moments

Beyond Possibilities

I declare 2022 will be my best year ever; full of breakthroughs, connections, strength and gratitude!

Yesterday as I set my intentions and meditated on what I wanted to create in 2022 for myself, my family, and my business there was a void. I was frustrated, but I know that answers don’t come in my time but in God’s time. Then like a lightning bolt it came to me as I was working out this morning. “It’s in the mindful moments, not the all or nothing.”

Such powerful truth that I have explored before. I have struggled with being all or nothing. 100% Success or 100% Failure. Over the last 15 years I have done a lot of work both personally and professionally to break that way of being. But if I am not mindful it creeps back in.

This year I am committing to having more mindful moments. Moments of movement, mediation, journaling, grounding, prayer, study, and more.

I am also returning to school to work on a Marriage and Family degree. This both excites and scares me. I know I am going to need to be more mindful and intentional with my time and schedule. I will need to be mindful of scheduling in 5 minutes of mediation or 10 minutes of movement throughout my schedule to help me stay focused.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention to the present. This state is described as observing oneā€™s thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad.

While mindfulness is a basic human ability it’s more readily available to us when we practice it. It is being fully present. It is being aware of where we are, what we are doing and what is going on around us. When we are mindful we are intentional with our actions and reactions to the situation.

There is growing research that shows when you train your brain to be mindful your are rewiring or remodeling the physical structure of your brain.

Who wants to join me?

Take a few minutes to mediate on what you want to create in 2022 then journal it, create a visual reminder of your declaration and post it where you will see it everyday.

Throughout the year I will be posting mindful moment prompts, mediations, Mindful Movement sessions and more on my social media accounts. So join me on Instagram, Facebook and/or Linkedin.
