Booster Shots for Living

So, my son Richard came home from school on Thursday and told me his best friend a little girl in class told him “it’s over!” He said, “Mom, she repeated the same words over and over again”. I asked what did you do? He put his hands up in frustration and said “nothing mom and she told me it’s over,” I couldn’t stop laughing……..typical little boy, they never know what they did wrong—I asked him do you have another girl you play with in class? He said yes, I said to myself no wonder she said it’s over oh, my, gosh! Can’t have two girls at once he’s a player—- that’s my girl, "It’s over!” His first break up already and he’s in S.K. too funny, too funny.

 

Dr. Wayne Dyer Author of -10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace–http://www.drwaynedyer.com

WAYNE W. DYER, PH.D., is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development. He’s the author of over 30 books, has created many audio programs and videos, and has appeared on thousands of television and radio shows.

His books Manifest Your Destiny, Wisdom of the Ages, There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem, and the New York Times bestsellers 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace, The Power of Intention, Inspiration, Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life, and now Excuses Begone have all been featured as National Public Television specials.

Dr. Wayne Dyer is affectionately called the “father of motivation” by his fans. Despite his childhood spent in orphanages and foster homes, Dr. Dyer has overcome many obstacles to make his dreams come true. Today he spends much of his time showing others how to do the same.

*************

Today I would like to share a small part of Dr.Dyer’s message from his book called “Changing What’s Inside.” I have had Dr.Dyer’s book now for awhile and if you have a chance to get his book, then I recommend you do.

According to Dr.Dyer in order for us to change what we need to we must first consider the concept of our “inner reality.” Dr.Dyer feels our thoughts create our reality because your thoughts determine how you respond to situations in your daily life.  Those responses are the energy you have inside  of you to give away. If you feel anger, it’s because you have anger energy in your body. Like everything in our universe, your thoughts are a form of energy. Everything that you feel and experience is the result of what he calls “attractor energies.” This means that you get back what you put out into the world. Thus, what you’ve attracted to you is what you have to give away to others.

It is true that anger cannot be avoided in our society today. Whether you are at work, home, with colleagues, friends and just everyday normal interaction with people in general. We are not perfect beings and at some point we will feel anger if we are having a dispute with someone or if someone hurts us in anyway. Simple put, we can’t avoid this negative energy in today’s world, but what we can do is try to minimize it.

What Dr.Dyer thinks is that “low energy attracts low energy”. Some of the low energy thoughts are anger, hate, shame, guilt, and fear. Not only do they weaken you says, Dr.Dyer but they attract more of the same! By changing your inner thoughts to the higher frequencies of love, harmony, kindness, peace and joy, you’ll attract more of the same, and you’ll have those higher energies to give away. These higher and faster frequencies that empower you will automatically nullify and dissipate the lower energies in the same way that presence of light makes darkness disappear.

According to Dr.Dyer, by becoming more loving toward yourself, you will attract more of the higher, faster energies and begin to change what’s inside you. In your thoughts, cultivate an inner voice and a attitude that’s 100 percent of the time for you. Imagine an aspect of yourself that only supports and loves you. You might schedule a certain time of the day when that’s the only thought you allow yourself to pay attention to! Gradually this attitude will extend to other people even if you can only do it for a minute or two. You’ll begin to receive this energy back and ultimately be able to send thoughts of love and joy to everyone and everything in your world. Notice when your thoughts drift into the lower energy of ridicule, or hate or guilt, and change the thought at that very moment if at all possible. If you’re unable to change the thought, then at least love yourself for what you did do—-that is, for noticing.

One last note, personally I believe Dr.Dyer is so right about how our thoughts can attract low energy thoughts or positive energy thoughts based on how we decide to handle our thought patterns.  Be patient with yourself it takes lots of time for us humans to get rid of thoughts or things that does not serve a purpose in our lives. It also takes time to be able to realize that we are in control of our thought patterns not anyone else. We either decide to participate in negativity or we choose not to. You decide what you would like to do, participate or not participate.

I love Dr. Dyer’s life lessons on improving the quality of our lives because he speaks in simple terms and his words are filled with wisdom. To read more about him visit his website below.

Booster Shots For Living

God does not command that we do great things, only little things with great love.—-Mother Theresa

God does not expects us to incorporate prayer daily in our lives from morning until afternoon, neither does he expects us to read and rehearse the bible cover to cover nor does he wants’ us to be holier than thou, so to speak. Based on my experience with God over the years, God simple just wants’ us to be ourselves, but to also not try to be him because we can’t be him—but to just simply follow in his shadow. In other words, try to be kind of heart and kind in spirit. If others around you have less than you and does not live abundantly as you do, it doesn’t mean that they are less worthy and so we as humans need to show respect and kindness to others, and that comes from within, from the heart. Show compassion to others, give from your heart not from your head, do not commit crimes against others such as bodily harm or commit crimes against yourself. Love the way you are, the way that God made you. For example, many of us watch television almost everyday and we see many women now doing plastic surgery when it is not necessary.

When we decide to do dramatic surgery on ourselves it is in my opinion another way of saying to God, “I don’t appreciate the way you made me, you could have done a better job God.” Showing God respect is saying that I love the way you made me God, and I accept who I am. If you are healthy, and you have no major scars  and your life is not threatened due to a physical defect on your body that requires surgery then I believe it’s not necessary. We are spiritual beings on a human plane and so when we learn to appreciate the way God made us then it allows us to move closer to God.

According to Rick Warren author of the Purpose Driven Bible:

“If God is going to do his deepest work in you, it will begin with you handing over: your past regrets, your present problems, your future ambitions, your fears, dreams, weaknesses, habits, hurts, and hang-ups. Put God in the driver’s seat of your life and take your hands off the steering wheel. Don’t be afraid; nothing under his control can ever be out of control.”

Based on my experience God does not put limitations on our lives—We do. Simple put, God already knows that we cannot and will not be able to fully as humans be “Supreme Beings” or “Angels.” We were not put on earth for this purpose. Everything around us is spiritual the air we breathe, the sun that shines, the food we eat, the things we do with our lives is what shapes our spiritual lives. We move closer to God, when we become humble and we acknowledge the lessons that God tries to teach us everyday whether the lessons make us uncomfortable or not.

God does not seek perfection from us, what he really seeks is, “our limitations and our journey through life to get over our limitations.” God already knows that we are imperfect beings, he made us that way, so we can grow into the kind of person we were meant to become on this earth. “How else can we learn the lessons that God wants’ us to learn?”

When we as humans come to realize that what God really wants from us is for us to be happy and for us to have the ability to make others happy, which in my opinion is one of the best gifts we could give ourselves, then we are able to live simpler lives.

My spirituality and faith in God will always remain with me because God has touched my life so many times and in so many ways over the years. Particularly though when I was just a baby and also when I was 10 yrs.old in a very profound way, so my devotion to God will always go on.  I do not try to be quote an quote “holier than thou.” Basically, I just try to keep God as close to me as possible everyday, that’s all and it doesn’t hurt, it feels really good to do this.

I allow God to do his job in my life, especially now that I am on a new path, a new journey and about to start a new chapter in my life, I have already handed my life over to God and ask him to take care of the things that I can’t manage. Currently, I am going through a separation phase and would like things to move a wee bit faster but I am happy that I am way pass the stage where my Separation Agreement has been signed for several months now, and I am now unto the next phase filing for Divorce and this phase will take some time but the sooner I can get this done the better. I recently, spoke to someone who is actually going through a divorce and they said the cost can sometimes add up with lawyers fees, but everyone’s divorce is different, so the cost is always different. My situation is pretty straightforward and will be simple to process.  Apparently, filing for Divorce in Ontario it is better to wait a year then file however, filing early could speed things up before your full year of separation and it’s nearly a year for me.  At some point my address will change, I will need to live somewhere else. I can hear my Grandmother saying to me if she were here “well, you will cross that bridge when you get there.” Everything takes time but I am happy that I am half-way there so to speak. I know the word, divorce doesn’t sound appetizing, but God has been preparing me for a longtime now, this new chapter of my life is blessed by God, no doubt about it, he knows I needed to do this—and I feel at peace.

Wow! nearly a year, time goes by so fast. That is why I always write on my blog and tell others, “Life is way too short to be anything but happy.” Time moves so fast and before you know it, you have no idea where it went. I don’t ever want to spend another day of my life thinking about the past it’s gone, it’s so gone I can’t see it in the rearview mirror. The sooner I get on with my new life the better, that way I have more time to focus on my new life. All I am concentrating on right now is my two wonderful children, my spiritual life, my physical well-being and the next phase, the next chapter of my life.

I know God is working behind the scenes like he always does, trying to help me with this new chapter of my life. In life if you find yourself where one door closes then at some point in time God will open another door for you. Try to remember that God never gives us more than what we can bear. Whatever you might be going through right now know that you can handle it, because he gave you what you could bear. Just ask God to stand by you and he will. “Every problem or major decisions we face in life can be solved we just need to trust ourselves, trust our gut feelings and don’t forget to ask God for guidance and know that God is there every step of the way no matter how difficult a situation gets, God is always present you just need t0 trust him even though you can’t see him.” Always try to find the lessons behind the trial, then it becomes easier and clearer to see.

What I try to create though in my daily life is try to maintain balance. This I do by the things I do to reflect God in the right way, and most of all, “Trusting God completely.” Spirituality comes from within first, and you can only improve and grow your own spiritual faith by been your own authentic version of you not been a version of someone else. Previously I added “Danny Gokey’s Song to my Blog, but here is the song again as a form of inspiration to you if you are going through a difficult time, remember “Your Best Days are ahead of You.”  Visit video link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqus079lUz8

When You Need to Speak Positively

Lord, help me to not bring condemnation into my life by the words I speak. I don’t want to bring judgment upon myself by foolish or careless things I say. Instead, help me to speak words that bring salvation, love, and gladness to others. Teach me to speak positive words about myself and my own life as well. Help me to never speak words that are not glorifying to You or that grieve Your Spirit. Put a guard over my heart and mouth so that my words bring life to me and to others who hear me.

By your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Matthew 12:37

 

This week I am back to Country Music, can’t live without it—Enjoy the songs below.

Miranda Leigh Lambert is 27 yrs. old is an American country music artist. Miranda is Married to Blake Shelton. Miranda Leigh Lambert was born in Longview, Texas and raised in Lindale, Texas. Her father, Richard Lee "Rick" Lambert, is a retired police officer who in later life became a private investigator in partnership with her mother, Beverly June Lambert (née Hughes). Miranda was taught about guns by her father at an early age and later became an avid deer hunter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_Lambert

What this song means to me…

*I love this song by Miranda because I grew on the farm in my Grandparents home in the country part of Jamaica and just like the song, I grew up in the house that built me. This song brings back lots of memories for me. I have so many memories of that house it’s unbelievable. I can picture every room and what I did growing up. I remember Hurricane Gilbert that we all survived http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Gilbert including the house,  thanks to my Grandfather over the years, he had the entire house surrounded by trees so when the hurricane hit, the trees got damaged but not the house, we were fortunate but many people loss their homes including our neighbours. Oh…too many memories to talk about.

I spoke to my Grandfather recently, and that house I grew up in is still there and is rented out, because several years ago he built himself  another home on the main road, but my old home that I grew up in is still there, one day I will take my kids back to see the house. Lots, of love in that house. Beautiful song, and just like me I know many of my blog readers can agree that they too, grew up in a house that built them or shaped their lives as well.

—Enjoy the song ……It brought back many memories for me.

Movie Watched Previously:

After a very busy 2010 I am now playing catch up when it comes to movies. About a month or so ago I watched “Possession” and forgot to put it on my blog. I put my movies here on my blog so I can remember what I watched previously. See Movie details below.

“Possession 2002”

If you don’t enjoy Poetry and the period during the 19th Century, then you probably won’t enjoy the movie because you might get bored really fast.  However, if your a lover of poetry like me, then you will enjoy this movie. The movie took place during the “Victorian Era” The Victorian Era falls somewhere between  1837-1900. I love poetry and any movies made around the 18th-19th century and the costumes that are depicted in the movies, so I enjoyed this movie immensely. The movie starts out approximately for the first 40mins-1 hour of the movie it’s all filled with the letters written by Ash and Cristabel that reads like poetry, in actual fact some were poetry and the mystery that surrounds the depth of passion and romance that develops between the two.

The poetry though is quite beautiful, then the second half of the movie you begin to feel the strong chemistry that develops between the two people that eventually falls deeply in love with each other after a series of letters to each other.  To me this is what real romance is all about, people now in the 21st century don’t write love letters to each other much anymore and if they do, it doesn’t sound as good as the letters written between Ash and Cristabel. It’s an art form really but we can enjoy it in the movie.

Synopsis

A pair of literary sleuths unearth the amorous secret of two Victorian poets who find themselves falling in love after a series of letters between each other.

Possession’ earns points automatically simply by providing us with a unique storyline and a fascinating glimpse into a world we have rarely if ever seen portrayed on screen – the world of literary investigation.

It’s refreshing to see a romantic drama that manages to generate some actual chemistry between its two on-screen lovers. In the case of `Possession,’ our pleasure is thereby doubled, since the film accomplishes this with not merely one couple but two.

The film tells the story of two scholars, Roland Michell (played by Aaron Eckhart) and Maud Bailey (Gwyneth Paltrow), who investigate the affair of fictional Victorian era poet Randolph Henry Ash (Jeremy Northam), described in letters between him and another fictional poet, Christabel LaMotte (Jennifer Ehle).

Booster Shots For Living

I currently have two blogs and over at Living in Durham, new articles have been posted, if you just happen to find Booster Shots for Living you can head over to the website here: http://livingindurham.wordpress.com

I love reading a good book and most often though I will tend to lean to either self-help books or a really good Cookbook. One of the books I really love though and would recommend to women is, Melody Beattie—Meditation Book and Journal for Daily Reflection.  www.melodybeattie.com  Her book goes by months and on the Month of April 19 she talks about “Change” here is an excerpt from her book:

April 19

The winds of change blow through our life, sometimes gently, sometimes like a tropical storm. Yes, we have resting places—time to adjust to another level of living, time to get our balance, time to enjoy the rewards. We have time to catch our breath. But change is inevitable, and desirable.
Sometimes, when the winds of change begin to rustle, we’re not certain the change is for the better. We may call it stress or a temporary condition, certain we’ll be restored to normal. Sometimes, we resist. We tuck our head down and buck the wind, hoping that things will quickly calm down, get back to way things were. Is it possible we’re being prepared for a new “normal”?
Change will sweep through our life, as needed to take us where we’re going. We can trust that our Higher Power has a plan in mind, even when we don’t know where the changes are leading. We can trust that the change taking place is good. The winds will take us where we need to go.

Today, help me, God, to let go of my resistance to change. Help me be open to the process. Help me believe that the place I’ll be dropped off will be better than the place where I was picked up. Help me surrender, trust, and accept, even if I don’t understand.

You Can Do It: The Merit Badge Handbook for Grown Up Girls

This book seen here is a very special book to me and many others. I purchase this book in 2005.  It’s a book I will keep and pass on to my daughter—If you have the opportunity to purchase this book I recommend you do. One of the reasons for purchasing the book was not only was it a well written book but because of the story behind the book and the fact that part of the proceeds goes to victims of those that lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas was 38 yrs.old when she passed away along with her 9 mth. old unborn baby– seen in the far left of the photo started this book idea and  just a year before she passed away on the September 11, 2001—(The World Trade Centre Attack in the U.S.) on flight 93. A former Girl Scout, she saw the book as a way for women to re-create the feelings of accomplishment and community found in the Scouts. Lauren embodied the book’s goal. Personally, professionally, athletically, and creatively dynamic, she is remembered by her friends and family as their personal coach and champion. After her passing both her sisters help completed this great book. The book runs around 481 pages but it is not a book for you to just read through, rather it’s a book for you to see what your dreams, desires or aspirations are and fulfill those dreams for yourself.
There are Badges at the back of the book and everytime you accomplish a goal or creative dream you reward yourself with a badge.

Like I just wrote recently on my blog, it is never too late to start your creative dreams. Lauren started hers even though she didn’t get to complete her dream her sisters and others were there to complete it for her. Start your creative dream today and you will be amazed at what you can achieve.

Stormie Omartian Prayer of the Day

When You Need Greater Faith

Lord, I feel as if my faith is tested every day. Help me to pass those tests so that my faith will be strengthened and shine as pure gold. Help my faith to remain strong, steadfast, and unwavering so that my actions will glorify You in the sight of others. I pray that every trial I go through will make my trust in You and Your Word grow stronger and stronger.

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 1:6-7

Movie I Watched This Weekend: “Eat Pray Love”

This Movie is inspiring, heartfelt, funny and compelling. Julia Roberts one of my all time favourite actors, took this movie and made it so real and authentic. When I decided to watch the movie I said okay, I don’t think she can pull this off, it will be a nice watch but not the kind you can sink your teeth into. Wrong! Julia is fantastic, I don’t know how she does it really, I guess just finding that thing in herself to bring the character of the movie to life.

Eat, Pray, Love is about that time in our lives where we find ourselves at odds, or at crossroads in life. We are in relationships where we are not happy and darn it! we know something–something is missing. We don’t know what it is, but we have to find it. We want to have that zest, that passion for life that makes us feel alive again, we don’t have it and we now find ourselves going on a new journey. In the movie, Julia went on that journey, a spiritual journey after her divorce that eventually ends with her finding love, but that wasn’t her first desire, she did not set out to find love, love just happen upon her unexpectedly, out of the blue and by accident quite literally. What she desired was to find that peace, that balance in life that she so craved for. The Journey took her to three different countries, Italy, India and finally, Bali during a one year journey but she learned so much about herself.

Even if you don’t pray, haven’t prayed, don’t believe in finding balance, that Zen approach to life or you don’t believe in God—Go out today and get this movie and watch it. If this doesn’t help you find something within yourself that you can use to change something, yep! Something about your life, then no one can help you, I’m sorry. Oh, my, gosh! Rent this movie, grab a few of your closest friends or relatives, order some Italian Pizza, have a glass of wine and watch this movie.

Personally, I was so taken by the movie I completely forget about eating, lol! The minute the movie started I was so glue to the screen oh, my gosh! You will laugh and cry but you will definately learn something to take with you in your heart, or to carry with you in life. Crying is good for the soul, it doesn’t mean your weak or not strong enough of a person far from it, crying will heal your soul all the time, all the time, so cry, laugh and enjoy the movie.

Surrender to Life

This movie for me is like “Icing on the cake,” for me. I am going through my own separation/divorce and my journey is not going to three countries but my journey is similar because for me it has always been a spiritual one, always. If love happens to find me, well that’s great. I am the kind of person that believes in “Serendipity” where life just knocks us on the head unexpectedly and we find love, you know what mean, similar to the movie, your not searching and “Boom!” love is there. A balance spiritual life is essential to our growth.  I am spiritual but I can let loose and have fun too. Eat, Pray, and have some fun, that is what creates balance in life. In the movie Julia seeks to find this balance approach to life, and none of us humans are saints, we would like to be though. The movie teaches us to always be open to life, to changes no matter how painful those changes are, we need to accept it and let it go. The movie tells us to not be afraid to embrace this next new chapter in our lives, to trust the universe, to trust God, and most importantly to, “Surrender to the Universe,” and yes to be ready for when love comes knocking at the door,  because it could come suddenly without any notice, and if you have too much fear, fear of getting your heart broken again, or we are so wrapped up in ourselves, we become blind, sometimes too blind to see what’s been offered to us when it comes to love, then you will lose the love that the universe is offering you, and some people eventually lose this love, something that they can never find again.

 

The Universe is Fair

You cannot in life ask the universe to send you love and happiness and you are not willing to accept it. The Universe operates in a logical, fair and realistic way, if we don’t accept what the Universe offers us, the Universe says, “Okay, Mary, Okay, Tom, why don’t I come back in another year, or two or three and maybe you might be ready then, okay, NEXT!!!” The Universe have a long line up of people waiting to be really happy in life. By then the chance you had is gone. “Do you get what I am saying?” You ask the Universe to send you what you need and it comes and you say, “I didn’t ask for that, I ask for something else,” The Universe say, “you want perfection well I can’t help you, you’re going to be picky when I had to do all this work, I had to put in a lot of overtime work and no vacation— now, God is going to dock my pay, maybe next time.” Oh, my, gosh! It’s funny but it’s true. Trust me when I say that, the Universe, Angels and God work overtime just to get us what we ask for. So, like in the movie the guy says to Julia, “If you can just clear all that space in your mind, you will create a doorway, and “BOOM!” The Universe just rush right in and give us exactly what we asked for. It is so true, once your mind is clear of all the clutter so to speak and you ask God for what you need then look out because God will give you what you ask for. Yes, and sometimes we get picky and don’t want what God is giving us, oh, my, gosh! Ahh….life.

For example in the Movie, Julia said something about a man who stood under a statue and prayed to win the lottery, I can’t remember word, for word, but the statue replied, “well, you need to buy a ticket.”  Oh, my, gosh! You get the idea. You can’t keep praying please God send me love, please God send me happiness and your not willing to open up yourself to that which the universe and God wants to give to you, because love and happiness will come but always in unexpected ways and you have to be ready when it comes, remember God is there to help us but he always wants’ us to use what he gave us and that is “Free Will,” remember God is not going to come to you in person, and say “here is your true love, here is the happiness you ask for on a platter.” God is the movie director doing everything behind the scenes so you have to learn to remain open to life at all times. They have a Jamaican Proverb that goes like this, “You can lead the donkey to water but you can’t force it to drink.” Basically, God can lead you to your heart’s desire but he can’t force you to accept what he offers.

At the end of the Movie Trailer posted below it ask the question: “When did your journey begin?” Personally, my journey began last year just shortly before the summer, and yes, I am on that journey until true love comes knocking. My mind is clear as day though, no clouds in sight, oh, my, gosh! Yep! That’s what life is all about going with the flow and accepting the journey and the lessons.

So, be open to life and let life happen to you.

Enjoy the Movie! Don’t forget to eat!

I watched the “Theatrical Version of the Movie,” but you can watch the Directors Cut if you choose.
