Shed More Than Pounds!

It is wise to shed those things in our lives that do not serve us, that illicit pain emanating from our core. First we have to stop long enough to recognize and identify what these things are that steal our joy ... then take the step in strength to execute. To cast off.

By removing these things, step by step, (which is how you climb a mountain or eat an elephant; opps, that would be bite by bite), that cause pain our lives which force us ultimately to live in lies; we will find truth and the peace we seek.

Energy doesn't lie and we don't fool anyone by masking these negative strong holds. More than likely, we take these "things" and use them as weapons against the people we love.

Hold on to the Father's hand as you walk your journey. He says ... "For i know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to give you hope and a future!

Call upon Him and go and pray to Him and He will listen to you ... He says this in his word, in my favorite passage and life verse from the bible ... Jeremiah 23:11-12.

It may be bikini time and you are thinking of the pounds you wish to remove from your body to be beach worthy, but the truth is, the best thing you might want to shed are the not pounds but pressures weighing against your heart that drag you down.

When you run a race, the extra pounds will pull at your body and slow you down, but think of the baggage you carry, when you are not true to self.

Step by step, bite by bite ... one at a time, identity and remove those things clutching your soul and shed the core of what does not serve you and your highest good! Imagine who you will become!

What Happens that We are Not Open To See

When I was a little girl, I believed when I left the room the stuffed animals, I so meticulously lined up on my pillow, after I made the bed would come to life. I imagined them dancing around and having a blast and then when a human walked in the room, they froze. I know, I know. A bit weird and I even forgot about this until I recently went to see the movie, "A Night at the Museum" with a girlfriend of mine.

I can't help but wonder ... what goes on behind the scenes when we are not looking at life? Is there something our eyes are closed off to that we can not see? What are we avoiding or not fully looking at? Are we blind because we are too afraid to notice, look or if we did, it would force us to change? Are we too busy to focus?

Ask yourself what you might be missing today. What life are we not imagining because we just can't believe it. Is life dancing around you but you have not stood up and taken notice?

Open your eyes today. Imagine. Believe. Let go and see what you might be missing.
