“What feels most affirming is not just to feel loved but to feel loved as we are. As we are means in our very being. Absolute love is the love of being. Deeper than all our personality traits, pain, or confusion our being is the dynamic open presence that we essentially are. It is what we experience when we feel settled, grounded and connected with ourselves. When rooted in this basic ground of presence, love flows freely through us, and we can more readily open up to others. When two people meet in this quality of open presence, they share a perfect moment of absolute love." ~ John Welwood from Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships
Ahhhhh! Big smiles! I’ll enjoy some of this yumminess! :)

I woke up today feeling yummy and I had a great meditation and then went to the track and totally rocked my fitness Goddess! I have been an athlete for most of my life…and intense fitness workouts feed my soul. I mean really feed my soul. There is something magical that happens when I push my physical body…I actually feel connected to God, to my Higher Self, and pure joy flows through my body! :) So, yes it felt super good to have an intense workout today!

Finals word or reminders for tomorrow ~ I feel happy and eat more vegetables! :)
I love my life. I am so grateful for all the magic that unfolds daily. And, it is also a work in progress…to find my balance, to live my essence, to be enthusiastic and happy, and to be love. Most days I wake up excited to rock the day. But, this isn’t always the case! Sometimes I can be crabby, moody, sad, frustrated and poopy! I am way more open and loving to these parts of myself than I used to be! And, I also have learned that love, happiness, health, and enthusiasm come from being present, aware, and having an unwavering commitment to being loving, happy, healthy and enthusiastic.
I feel best when I am expanding my limits in this temple called my body. I feel best when I am aware of how I am nourishing my body and how I am moving my body. I feel best when I consciously allow the love to pour through my delicious body.
I feel as though I have gotten a bit off track with my commitment to love, health, happiness and enthusiasm! So, I am turning it up!
I am committed to rockin’ my Goddess Bride! I am getting married in 6 ½ weeks and I want to be the most radiant and loving Goddess I can be…body, mind & spirit! I am going to be blogging and sharing what I am doing to prepare for our wedding! :)
My intention for the next 6 ½ weeks is to expand in love, vitality, intimacy, energy, beauty, and goddessness…to be the most radiant, glowing, and loving Goddess I can be. And, open to an even deeper love and connection with myself and with Brian.
Wanna join me!?! :)
To expanding in love, health, happiness & enthusiasm ~
I have been going through lots of transformation in the last month. I am really tapping into who I am. And, allowing myself to fully be me…unapologetic in my values, sharing my essence and expressing my creativity.
I have been acutely aware of how much I want people to like me! And, I have gotten clear that being in integrity and being whole is more important than people liking me. It is amazing to me how much I stop myself from sharing, or I compromise because I want people to like me.
I feel the energetic drain every time I compromise my values, or don’t say something for fear of what people will think or say about me. My essence calls me to be who I am no matter what! And, to live the wisdom from Terry Cole Whittaker: “What you think of me is none of my business!”
Ahhhhh, what would this be like to live our lives like this every moment? To be so aligned with who we are and what we stand for…committed to expressing ourselves fully. To walk our own path not caring about what people thought of us. This is the life I desire for myself!
I feel this is a courageous act…getting in touch with our values and fully living them out loud in our daily life! Being our most authentic self no matter what!! I don’t think it is always an easy journey...but it's necessary to be empowered and whole on our Goddess journey.
And, as Carl Jung says: I would rather be whole than good! I am not interested in being good or liked. I am interested in being me! :) And, I need to be OK with people not liking me. There are plenty of people who don’t like me. And, as much as I want to think everyone I have ever encountered loves me. :) The reality is there are people right now who are talking about how much they don’t like me, or like what I am doing and/or criticizing me.
Is this going to stop me from expressing myself? No!
I feel like this is a huge step for me to let go of this desire to have people accept and validate me. This is a new burning desire to be who I am in all areas of my life!! To be integrated, to give myself permission to rock me. And, to ask the questions: "Do I like me?" "Am I in integrity with my essence?" That is what is most important to me!
Yahooo! I feel more freedom and spaciousness already!! :)
