Some of us are more funky than others.
There are those that are comfortable in their funk, and why not? They know what to expect and it seems just plain easier to stay put.
Being in a funk might last years or only a few minutes. What makes it change?
We have all heard that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile.
What if...what if it took more energy to be negative than positive?
Sure you could argue that gravity helps you to frown and perhaps the downward spiral we find ourselves in when we are consistently negative works the same way with our thoughts.
Now, remember a time when you were down and suddenly something positive happened (actually remember at this point...right here). It might have been a phone call a smile from a cashier, or it could have just been a happy thought...and it made you smile.
All of a sudden you had a little more energy than before. All of a sudden your dusty gray day started to come alive and colors popped out that you forgot were there. Remember the beauty and the transforming magic of a "just a thought."
I dare you to save some energy and smile.
Love it!

Choosing Love in the Twinkling of an Eye
Hold on...HOLD ON.....oh! It's gone!
Bliss, oneness, even peace seem to be fleeting feelings that slip though our fingers. We just got our soul wrapped around this tantalizing sensation and it disappears. We miss it.
Our disappointment deepens our loss and spirals us into a desire to capture it once again.
You just got out of a moving church service, a great inspirational talk or seminar, a weekend retreat or even visiting with an enlightened friend. The stars feel aligned and your body is in tune. This oneness might last a day, maybe two or three. Then, without warning, your balanced self becomes imbalanced.
Why is it that we can't hold onto that positivity? Why do we land smack dab where we were? Out of sheer desire or even frustration we become addicted to the cycle. We are compelled to seek the the next seminar or the next great book.
Those that maintain a positive attitude and an elevated consciousness have something many of us don't: a healthy perspective on life.
Shift your perspective, shift your consciousness. We can all do it. One thought at a time.
In the ancient practice of spirituality, the word alchemy was often used to describe the transformation of one state to another.
We are our own alchemists. We are the ONLY ones that can truly make lasting transformation within ourselves.
All of our thoughts and actions are rooted in either love or fear. When we feel down, tired, depressed, exhausted, most likely we are coming from a place of fear and it sucks the life energy right out of us. Something as simple as shifting your perspective can create a whole new energy, new feelings of hope, joy and success. This happens when we genuinely come from a place of love. We actually feel lighter, we become lighter in our mood and our expressions. Our hearts open and our eyes twinkle. We become light.
Remember the joy of being youthful and carefree? Remember not knowing to be afraid? Remember when the world was full of adventure and magic? Bust open the dam of limiting beliefs built up by years of projected fears. Let loose the flood of love you have reserved for the day everything is perfect.
That day is every day. That day is today. Choose a healthy perspective. Choose love.
What would a world look like if people chose to come from love? What if there was a simple tool to make a minor adjustment and transmute stifling fear based thinking into empowered love? Would you choose to to create thoughts from love that radiate forth to be carried on a powerful wave of creation?
Trace back your thoughts to the source of their conception. How can you tweak the thought and unleash the power of love? Let's explore the power of the mind and the immensity of the heart. Bring back your power. Bring back the twinkle. Awaken.
This blog is dedicated for those of us that are challenging the dreary status quo of ho-hum thinking and jumping into the light of thoughts from love. Join the discussion, share your stories, and explore the depth of reawakening our true selves of love and light.
