renewal

So, I've spent the majority of my weekend painting my living room. Why? Apparently, because i need to get a life. Well, actually, because it's been years since it's been done and about time for a new look. Like most projects it started as just a fresh coat of paint......and is turning into a whole new room. It occurred to me as I was putting things back in place that most of what I have around me in this room, is there out of habit, not out of desire. Things I've had in the same places for the 12 years I've lived in this house, and even after going through a divorce, have remained the same. I have more photos of my former in-laws up in my living room then my Ex does, and their HIS parents! I keep some things around, like photos of my former in-laws, for my son's benefit, but there's a lot more stuff that is still there for no reason other than, i just look past it. It makes me take note of how much in my life is there because I just don't even see it anymore, and what, and sometimes who, is in my life because I truly place value on it/them. I think its a good idea for all of us to paint a new room once in awhile, whether literally or figuratively, so that we gain a fresh perspective on what's in our life out of habit, and what's there because it's actually something we value. I believe we'll find one of two things. 1) a bunch of stuff that's just taking up space and accordingly, energy in our lives that needs to go, or 2) a renewed appreciation for what we have and who we share it with. Both are very healthy options. So, its a fair amount of work, this painting stuff, and the going through, and the evaluating, but ahhhhh, the view is so much clearer on the other side of it. peace and blessings.

New Beginings

This is my very first blog, ever. I'm creating this to give myself a voice that brings together all aspects of myself in one space. You see, I'm a massage therapist, Reiki Master turned Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, teacher, psychic....along with a bunch of other stuff, but really, that's enough to give you an idea of why I'd like to bring it all together.
I love the idea of beginning new projects, the excitement, the possibility, the unlimited potential in each new move. At least that's what my spirit says. My ego mind often tells another tale, "that's stupid", "that'll never work", "nice try but who's gonna buy that". Yeh, that whole "self talk" thing is a continual work in progress. But, as long as there's forward progress, its' all good. Recently, I've been working on freeing myself from some really bad energy. Not my own, someone elses. The squirly part is, that this person is dead. Seriously. Trust me, it adds a whole new dimension to things, literally. So, it becomes an issue of me managing my energy, so that i'm not feeding hers, cause she's pissed. Spirits, or in this case, ghosts, can be funny characters. Sometimes, "ha ha" funny, and sometimes just nuts kind of funny. Dead people are not my strong suit, i typically leave that area to some friends of mine, but I've been somewhat pulled in this time. So, I'm spending lots of time meditating, clearing, intending, meditating, clearing, intending, you get it. Hopefully this fun fest will pass soon and I'll be on to better things. Like, painting my living room......... For now, have peace, consider your blessings, and smile, it's good for you.
