Well 2013 has left and a new year is upon us. Of course as I reflect on 2013, to sum it up in one word would be transformation, not just for me, but as a family too. We did a 100-day challenge to eat only whole foods (we wanted to limit the amount of processed foods we were eating). We not only accomplished the 100-day challenge, but we simply continued on...the kids didn't seem to notice and we just stuck with preparing real foods, eating more fresh fruit and veggies. We weren't doing this to lose weight, but as you read about the chemicals that are put into our foods and the problems associated, we wanted to become more aware of what we were putting into our bodies. My little man has eczema and since switching our diet, not only has the eczema calmed down, but his flare ups only occur once in a while, which is definitely an improvement from where it was. My skin has cleared up and I've dropped six pant sizes (I don't know how much weight as we don't have a scale). The hubbers has also dropped four pants sizes. The other transformation, which I have blogged about, was the act of letting go and enjoying the moment.
Sometimes we try so hard to make different relationships work because you think you should and it ends up causing more headaches and heartaches trying to force yourself to fit into a world you don't really belong. So, while on vacation in the beautiful Cayman Brac an "ah-ha" moment hit me and I gave myself permission to let go. Too often, we feel we must carry this weight of past hurt, past anger, resentment and we carry it, letting it shape us and our attitude and I let it go. Let go of the grudges, regrets, and left the hurts and disappointments behind. I came back refreshed and full of positive feelings and things have been for the better ever since. I'm almost a bit sad that 2013 is over because it was one of my best years, but I look to 2014 with excitement because I know that I am the one in control of my future and ultimately my happiness. And at the end of the day, I will always choose happiness and I hope happiness fills 2014 for you as well! Happy New Year!
I saw the below quote and had to share! Enjoy.....
"When
you feel connected to and in harmony with the universal mind of
intention, you’ll sense a major difference in how other people react to
you. These reactions are important because they bear directly on your
ability to fulfill your own individual intentions, your goals and
dreams. The more closely you resonate with the frequencies of
the universal all-creating Source, the more others will be impacted.
They’ll gravitate toward you, bringing peace, joy, love, beauty, and
abundance into your life. Here, in my opinion, are some of the ways in
which you’ll impact others when you’re resonating with intention:
Your presence instills calmness.
When you coincide with intention, your impact on others has a calming
influence. People tend to feel more at peace, less threatened, and more
at ease. The power of intention is the power of love and receptivity. It
asks nothing of anyone, it judges no one, and it encourages others to
be free to be themselves. As people feel calmer in your presence,
they’re inclined to feel safe, by virtue of the energy frequencies that
you radiate. Their feelings are encouraged by your energy of love and
receptivity, causing them to want to reach out and be with you.
Your presence leaves others feeling energized.
When you bring the frequencies of intention into the presence of
others, they’ll feel energized just by being in your immediate circle.
You don’t have to say a word. You don’t have to act in any prescribed
fashion. Your energy of intention alone will make others in your field
feel as if they’ve mysteriously been empowered. They’ll want to assist
you in fulfilling your own dreams.
Your presence allows others to feel better about themselves.
Have you ever noticed when you’re in the presence of certain people
that you feel better about yourself? Their compassionate energy has the
noticeably pleasant impact of simply making you feel really good about
yourself. You’ll impact others with this energy of compassion as you
develop your connection to intention. People will sense that you care
about them, understand them, and are interested in them as unique
individuals.
Your presence allows others to feel unified.
The effect of being in the presence of people expressing high
frequencies is to feel unified and connected to all of nature, all of
humankind, and to intention. As you raise your frequencies, your impact
on others invites them to be on the same team. You are unified and want
to assist each other in the fulfillment of a common objective.
Your presence instills a sense of purpose.
When you’re in the higher spiritual energies, your presence and
behavior from a space of love, acceptance, nonjudgment, and kindness
becomes a catalyst for others to feel on purpose in their lives. By
staying at the higher energies of optimism, forgiveness, understanding,
reverence for Spirit, creativity, serenity, and bliss, you radiate this
energy. The people around you begin to feel your quiet reverence and
serenity. Your own purpose, which revolves around serving others and
therefore serving God, becomes fulfilled, and as a bonus, you create
allies.
Your presence allows others to trust in authentic personal connections.
By bringing the traits of intention to others, you allow trust to be
present. You’ll notice both an inclination and a willingness on the part
of others to open up and confide in you. This is related to the quality
of trust. In the atmosphere of higher energy, people trust and want to
share their personal stories with you.
Your presence inspires others to greatness.
When you’re connected to Spirit and quietly reflect this consciousness,
you become a source of inspiration to others. In a sense, this is one
of the most powerful effects that connecting to intention transmits to
others. The word inspiration means “in-spirit.” The fact that you’re
primarily in-spirit means that you inspire rather than inform with your
presence.
Your presence aligns others with beauty.
When you’re connected to intention, you see beauty everywhere and in
everything because you’re radiating the quality of beauty. Your
perceptual world changes dramatically. At the higher energy of intent,
you see beauty in everyone, young or old, rich or poor, dark or light,
with no distinctions. Everything is perceived from a perspective of
appreciation rather than judgment. As you bring this feeling of
beauty appreciation to the presence of others, people are inclined to
see themselves as you see them. They feel attractive and better about
themselves. When people feel beautiful, they act in beautiful ways.
Your presence instills health rather than sickness.
Your connection to your Source keeps you focused on what you intend to
manifest into your life, with no energy given to what you don’t want.
This internal focus doesn’t permit you to complain about what ails you
or to think about disease, pain, or any physical difficulties. Your
energy is always on creating love, and expanding the perfection from
which you originated." Wayne Dyer
