The Lotus Flower

The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It slowly grows up towards the waters surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower.


I picked this because it thought it was beautiful, i looked up the meaning and i understood why. It's me.

MY FLIP SWITCH

The most precious gift i've ever been given is this kid. Charlotte teaches me everyday to laugh like no one else is near me and to be myself because that's all she really wants from me. Isn't that the truth about everything in life? Isn't that all anyone wants from anybody else? For someone to be their true self? She is the reason i need to flip the switch.

it's been a while my friends.....

Well, it has been a really long week with some huge lessons....
FLIP SWITCH.....i've not even thought about it to be honest - i was down in a place i haven't been in a while.....tired, sick, hurting and lonely!

The good news.....2 amazing people that clarified & brought me back on track.
I do understand that the negative can bring you to a place that you can't get out of, i do understand that one negative thougt brings another and so the story goes. I do understand that i am in control and that i am the one that needs to FLIP THE SWITCH.

And, this is what i learned.....i have to flip, i have to be in the positive and i have to have the crutial time for me to reflect, to bring myself back down from the craziness that i live everyday and i need to ground and protect myself at all times. I can't take on that energy of those who come into my life with that negativity.....i can't do it anymore.

with this week, i learn.

and i move on to the next in a ppositive bright light. i love myself and i love my life!

DAY SIX


well, no doubt today was my hardest day yet.....

Christina (one of my partners in this adventure) pointed out to me that this journey is different for all of us....for me it's about RECOGNIZING that i need to flip the switch....and i did that today - i really knew that something was blocking me from my positive vibration.


Really, once i recognized it things got better - i picked some very specific tasks and got them done....i was focused, and clear and worked hard to get them finished.....finishing them put me in a great mood....and the flip was made.


My next couple flips switches will be fantastically, wonderful, things that i have to look forward to.....stay tuned for DAY SEVEN.....

here's a pic of my fabulous vision board that i created on an awesome day five!

DAY FIVE

What an unbelieveable day.......

Flip Switch - my fantastic Rose Quartz pendant from Sherri Wilson
My intention - Grail Springs, I will get there....soon!
My fantastic day was filled with creation and love and self awareness....i don't think i've ever been as close to myself as i was today. Very in the moment and very aware.

I needed to create, i needed to be positive and happy. I found this in my beautiful vision board that i created yesterday! I never thought i ad it in me to be so positive about myself but what a mood i was in.

I pulled my INTENTION CARD for the day....."I KNOW WHO I REALLY AM"
and i did, i knew exactly what i wanted to create, i knew exactly what was going on my board and it is beautiful!

I am so blessed for this day!

DAY THREE/FOUR

I am certain that switching my thoughts to a positive vibration is the only way to go when it comes to my life.

Yesterday i sat around waiting for a negative thought.....mmmmmmm, mmmmmmm....nothing? I realized that i wasn't really thinking at all! I thought to myself, k how hard will this be i'm sooo positive....ok.....that was yesterday and this....is today!

My flip switch today.....An Awakening Weekend with St. Elmo's Fire.....an absolutely amazing weekend that is coming up in the next couple months. Jenninfer Clark - a local angel practioner told Christina months ago about this absolutely stunning place and that it would play a part in St. Elmo's Fire and it's growth......that's the switch....Carp Ridge Learning Centre!! It is perfect for us!

Faced with an overwhelming situation this morning, i forgot - i forgot to flip - i got consumed and didn't even think twince about flipping. At my art class this mrning after the mornings events Christina pointed out to me that i needed to flip......she said it and listened - Carp Ridge Learning Centre....my face lit up and was beaming with the excitment.....IT WORKED!

now my goal is to focus - even when you say to yourself....."i can't, it won't, how would i?" FLIP!

on with my day.....flipped and focused!

DAY TWO

7:00am
Water streaming down my back....no real thoughts in my head and then.....joy, pure joy and singing - i was so happy standing there singing in complete joy!

My friend Christina and i want to go to Grail Springs, it's an unbelievable, relaxing spa in the middle of nowhere with Quatrz everywhere and Grottos in the middle of nature. In that moment in the shower, in the moment of complete joy i pictured us there. I think i got the point of the break through, i just need to keep doing it. In moments of complete joy to bring the things you want closer you need to visualize them in complete positivity. Was this an AH-HA moment?

The rest of the day was productive and pretty positive. I can always feel myself slip a little but it seems that i am starting to be able to recognize it. Ok, this isn't day 2 of my spiritual journey but this break through seems to be making me aware...more than i've ever been.

DAY ONE

Good Morning my partners in this awakening......

mmmmm, this is really hard for me....as much as think this is EXACTLY what i need, as much as i set my grand intention - it's very difficult for me. last night during my workout i was really trying...trying to workoff the expectation of the day, workoff the stress of the running and much like you Chris, trying to stop the wandering of the mind and focus.....focus on the task at hand, be in the moment 200% and live, to my true potential. once i set that intention, my knees got higher, my legs moved faster, my body didn't hurt as much and i had the greatest workout to date!

this morning i was up at 6am for my chiro appt and my first client was at 8am....i've been buzzing - my need to listen, absorb, and help the pain of my clients was still there but there was this positivity that took over my body.....did i listen? yes. did i help...YES! did i absorb....NO!

i tried to flip the switch too.....mmmm didn't happen the way i thought it would - wasn't as easy as "the flip".....but the idea is there...it's in me......i know it will come!

January 18th, 2010

Inspired by a true friend, i was introduced to a challenge. A challenge to be better, a challenge to change, a challenge to listen & be heard.
This challenge is a spiritual awakening and a chance to grow.

I accept this challenge, this awakening. I am ready to learn & i am ready to grow. I have come so far, but the next 30 days will take me miles further.

This is my story. 30 days of growth, 30 days of struggle, 30 days of positivity and light!
