Well, I am just back from a fantastic week at Lake Ontario. I have to admit that I want to return to work Monday morning like I want to eat gum off the sidewalk. But I will go to the office as usual because I am a routine, comfort zone, oriented kind of gal.
I did learn a few things while I was away.
1. I can stand my own company and 2. My everyday life is actually pretty darn great!
Valuable lessons within themselves. However I will always be a seeker and a dreamer and I realized that the seeking and dreaming are the part I actually enjoy. So if I never do anything more than that, I have still achieved happiness, which is the ultimate goal. I enjoy reading about abundant lifestyles and I even have a dream (or vision if you will) board that I have created.
Today, I added a beautiful picture of the famous Lake Ontario sunset that I took myself. So, see, dreams really do come true if you have vision!
Today I would like to talk about inspiration, and how do you receive it? I am a great reader and philosopher (in my own mind anyway), so a lot of what inspires me comes from reading books and magazines. But today I realized that a lot of my best inspiration comes from my friends.
I am getting ready to go on a vacation to Lake Ontario, and since I am an obsessive planner, that is all I am talking about at work and at home. Probably driving everyone crazy because it is my exciting plan and not theirs. So anyway, back to inspiration. I have been looking for an item that will hold my money, ID and cell phone, so that I do not have to "lug" around a purse full of things that I won't need. And lo and behold, my friend Sue, shows me this "Vera Bradley" thing called a wristlet. I am so impressed by this silly item because it is exactly what I am looking for. So I have one on the way from e-bay right now and I am excited to receive this package in the mail.
Okay, hopefully you are still reading, because I promise I am getting to the point. Point being, this may be a bunch of nonsense to a lot of people, but to me, these moments of inspiration that come from out of nowhere are the most valuable gifts in my life. I believe that people's lives cross paths for a reason, and every person I have ever met has great value to the big picture. Every time I use my wristlet I will think of my friend and how different lives intersect. I have always done my best to try to "inspire" people to look at life in a different way and really enjoy their life to the fullest. If I have helped one person along the way, I feel that I have been of value to someone. And I only wish that all of the great friends, (you know who you are), that I have met so far can only know how much they have inspired me.
So if someone throughout your day makes a comment, or smiles, or makes you think about something in a different way, thank them, because they have added great value to your life. Pay it forward!
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
