Mind Chatter
If your going to take the challenge in life to cultivate your own highway then you must be wiling to except the obstacles, (opportunity to grow) that lay within each challenge. There will be big boulders to lift and set aside, relationships lost, and shaky grounds to stabilize. But a solid path can be left behind if each action is done with love. The choice is always yours. To build. Or not to build.. LOVE!

Mind Chatter
I have the ability, the confidence and the power to create the life I want.
I give myself permission to be happy.
I deserve all good things.
I am worthy to achieve my goals.
I am in control of everything I do.
I am limited ONLY by my own thoughts.
I give myself permission to be happy.
I deserve all good things.
I am worthy to achieve my goals.
I am in control of everything I do.
I am limited ONLY by my own thoughts.

I loved this!
This was written by a dear friend and teacher of mine..
"If we look outside of ourselves, searching for Peace, Happiness and Love--the search will never end. Because whatever peace we might find "out there" will be temporary. Whatever we may find will sooner or later fade along with circumstances. When Baba Hari Dass says "the idea is to attain peace", I don't think that he is asking us to find some perfect environment--getting all of our ducks in a row, then wha-la! peace! Lasting Peace, true peace, is not outside of yourself. Peace is not an object "out there". Peace is what you are. What is to be attained is this realization--that Peace is your natural state--you are that. This realization will be beyond any thought or concept--to know it is to BE it. Sri Ramana Maharishi said "Peace is absence of disturbance. The disturbance is due to the arising of thought in the individual, which is only the ego rising up from pure consciousness. To bring about peace means to be free from thoughts and to abide as pure consciousness. If one remains at peace oneself, there is only peace everywhere". To find peace, look within, let the mind be quiet, be still, and there you are--Peace. Love to all, Tom"

I lOVED THIS!
This is something a dear friend shared with me today, a day in which life seems unreal. I am filled with so much joy and gratitude. So much it has left me asking why.. Why me, why now. I can look back and see all the connections, turns, and choices that led to the mass of unfolding beauty in which I am receiving. The beauty is so strong it is hard not to have a wondering mind. I hope you enjoy!
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
