Notes- Little Inspirations

Hey Wonderful Souls!

I was in Church with my family on Easter and I noticed in the handout they had there was a sheet of paper that said “Notes to My Soul” I love that!

Some of the notes to my Soul would be:

Trust

Shine

Your ready

Breath

Leap

Listen

What would the notes to your soul say?

Like the Ocean- Soul Musings

Hey Inspiring Souls!

I talked about last week how i wanted to do more writing from the Soul, I did this in my first (but was unsure it was going to be a category) Soul Musing. I decided I did want to make it an ongoing part of the way I show up for you and for myself on this blog.

In having a conversation with someone I love the other day, I was telling her how at the retreat Catherine had us look for power objects.  For me my power object was/is the Ocean. The Ocean is a place I feel hopeful, peaceful and in amazement. The more I thought about it the reason this was my power object is it represents how i want to show up in my life.

You see the Ocean is powerful, calm, goes with the flow , sometimes chaotic. It’s doing what it was created to do. When the ocean has a big wave, I am sure it doesn’t say things like “oh my if I show everyone this wave they are going to judge me, they are going to think I am showing off. Nope it just is totally itself all the time. It’s not carrying shame for being a contradiction of peace and chaos it just is, it does what it was created to do. It’s a symbol of the possibilities being endless as well.

Thats what I want to do, I want to show up in all my beautiful crazy contradictions in my life, I want to just be able to flow from what is true for me and to rock what I was created to do.

I want to be a lot more like the Ocean! What about you, what is your symbol of what you want to show up in your life?

Soul Musings-Sharing more

Hey Beautiful Souls

I am not sure if this is a start of a new category, series or what just yet. I already do little inspirations those are just little bits that are on my mind often (always) reflecting whats going on in my life.

However I have had the pull to write and share more from my Soul. Don’t get me wrong I do my best to bring inspiration ,creativity and my heart to all the posts I do. I just have noticed that in several areas of my life I have held back thoughts, images or words I have wanted to share for fear of its to woo woo or that’s not a prompt. I always want  you to come away from this blog, well anything I do really with a sense of being Inspired to be more Creative and Empowered on your Journey.

As I continue to do the work of living my truth (along with some of you in Journey to Authentic You workshop) I have uncovered more layers of me, some that I am wanting to share but resisting. I don’t want to do that any longer (looks like this could be a new category or series!) I want to share who I am fully with you. That means sharing the musings of my Soul, that means sharing things that feel a bit scary sometimes too and even those times where I am really struggling as that is part of the journey too.

Do you have an area of your life that it’s felt too scary or raw to share with others? Maybe today is the day you take one tiny tiny step in admitting it to yourself, that is the first step of this process!

I thank you deeply and sincerely for coming along on the Journey with me.

Open- Journal Prompt

Hey Inspiring Souls!

Since the retreat, the above word has been coming up for me a lot. That is how so much of the experience made me feel.

My question for you is… In what ways do you wish to open (or be open)?

For me recently I feel more Open to…

-Life

-The truth that I am braver than I thought, then I have been giving myself credit for

-To community

-To my truth

-To my soul and my soul’s message(s)

-To just try to not be so attached to the outcome

Little Inspirations- I will…

Hey Inspiring Souls

I have a week, well a few actually ahead of me that are full of opportunity, ideas, deadlines and To Do’s.. So I am giving myself (and of course any of you that need this when you happen upon it!) a reminder that…

-You will figure it out

-By listening deeply I will be purposeful =productive

-I will remember to Breath

-This is all good stuff, even the not so fun stuff has lessons or good benefits along with it!

-To get up and stretch, dance, move my body!

-Have a bit of a plan, but be ready to let it go and embrace a better one (even if it doesn’t give you advanced notice!)

-Lean in

-Let Go

-Know that you are more than capable

Pros and Cons… Journal Prompt

Hey Beautiful Souls!

I have some decisions I need to make coming up soon. I thought why not do a journal prompt on the good ol stand by of making a list of pros and cons for a decision.

If you have a decision you need to make,I encourage you to make a list of the pros and cons of the choices.

Keep the non obvious in mind. Will making the decision make me feel empowered or dis-empowered? Is it a soul supporting decision or a soul draining decision. Things of that nature.

Little Inspirations-Listen

Hey Beautiful Souls!

I know I have posted about listening before. But for me this is a message I need to be reminded of again and again!

Listen to your life, the whispers will show up, the nudges… Listen to them

Listen to the whispers of your soul, even if you don’t always understand what that whisper has to do with “real life”

Listen to your body, it has so much wisdom and will help lead you to what it needs

Really listen, hear what people are saying to you and remember that it’s not about giving away your power but it is about deeply listening to the core of what is being said so you can make decision beyond the surface

Remember that sometimes those messages are asking you to seek the silence, the stillness to really hear them

Listen…

5 ways to nurture your soul..

Hey Creative Souls,

I know this time of year it’s easy to lose yourself in all expectations, activity and chaos ( all though it can be good chaos , chaos still the same) So to help you remember that you must first fill yourself so you are able to give to others I wanted to share 5 ways to nurture your soul.

1-  Indulge in the act of making a cup (or pot)  of  Tea, making it and sipping it in and taking a deep breath of peace.

2-Open a book to a random page and see what message the book and the world have for you at that moment.

3-Ask yourself what it is you need, really need at this  moment? (then give it to yourself, ask for it etc..) if possible.

4-Create, write, collage, get messy with paints, grab your camera, knit.. whatever it is you love engage in it, even if only for a few minutes..

5-Just be still, no worry, expectation, stress allow yourself just to be
