Good Morning!
How are you today? If you didn't say Great, why? What's up? What's bothering you? Can you let it go? Forget about it! When you dwell on things they eat at you...if you're dwelling on say Ice Cream it might be difficult to see where dwelling on ice cream is a problem! But if you're dwelling on you too big feet that's totally unproductive. Heck, look at Shaquille O'Neill, you think you have big feet? It could be worse! And I have a dear friend who had surgery on both feet as a child and walks in pain every day of his life--he'd be happy to trade feet with you. Does that make you more grateful for your "too big" feet? It does me.

See, my point here is perspective. How are you looking at things? Through what lens, what filter are you peering? Are you restricting yourself, your opportunities with that lens or filter? All we have to do is shift our perspective and voilá, life is different. And "life" didn't change. We did. We changed our perspective so we could better see what is really there!

Okay, okay, I did say "All we have to do…," yes, it's easier said than done. Practice my friend! Practice, Preactice, Practice.

Take a look at my previous blog. What was that all about? Changing my perspective on a day where my heart was on my sleeve. I had to put it back where it belongs and shift my persepctive and focus off of me and onto the world. That took a couple of days to complete but I did it. If I can, you can! Most certainly you can! :)

By writing out my feelings I was able to "zoom in" on what I was dwelling upon. Finding that, I could shift gears and change my perspective. As a bonus, I got a gentle reminder from Spirit about a couple of the life lessons I'm working on in this life time. Like approval. Right now I need at least daily reminders that I already have all the approval I need, that I don't have to go looking for it anywhere at all. Spirit loves me. I am part of the Universal Consciousness which is pure love so how could I possibly not have approval? Because I forget to remember I have it. I forget sometimes to allow it into my heart. I remember the courage it takes to have no walls around my heart and allow the love to flow in freely. Yes, this sets me up to be hurt. But. Can anyone truly hurt me emotionally? (We're not talking physical pain here, that's different).

Only if I allow someone the power over me can they hurt me emotionally. Only if I care more about what that person thinks of me than I care of what I think of me can I be hurt. Think about that and let it soak in a bit. Why would you care more about someone else's opinion of you than your own opinion of you? hummm…

So, today the sun is shining brightly. And for now I'm on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska so this is a rare day--bright sunshine. And I'm not going to waste it so I'll sign off for now and go sit in it basking in the sun (even if I have to wear my parka!) ha!
Perhaps you could take a few minutes and do the same, go bask in something, just to indulge yourself, for no other reason. Five minutes won't kill you and it might do a world of good.

love light & hugs
