Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day. – Zen Proverb

It has been a while that I have posted in this blog. At first, I thought I purposely simplified my online time so I could focus on creating a website that sells inspirational fridge magnets, mouse pads and in the future, posters. Now that the project that took many months of my dedication is complete, I don’t have an excuse to not write.

I admitted to myself tonight that the real reason I have not written is because I have had shifts with my spiritual beliefs.

Or rather I have let GO of most of my beliefs because I realized they were stories. I still enjoy inspirational writing but cannot in good conscience write about what I used to believe.

At this point, all I am truly sure of is that I exist in this moment of now. I am also comfortable with the idea that there is an Intelligence that  none of us has seen moving through Life, that love is the answer to everything under the sun, and that perception creates our reality.

It’s not a bad place to be in, but it has simplified my writing and perspective.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday! 🙂

When I moved from New York to the West Coast of the USA, I was in absolute awe in seeing pink skies for the first time while walking hand in hand with the love of my life. I remember moments like these with a sweet gratitude. The earth is a canvas of beauty and love, so for me, there are no ordinary moments, all are part of the simple and yet sacred experience in the journey of life.

We Are Awareness

Awareness is our true self; it’s what we are. So we don’t have to try to develop awareness; we simply need to notice how we block awareness with our thoughts, our fantasies, our opinions, and our judgments. We’re either in awareness, which is our natural state, or we’re doing something else. – Joko Beck

How simple. For decades,  I tried to acquire Awareness, when all the time I  have been this awareness, but became distracted  by the entertainment and fear of the mind.  My eyes would get misty with longing when I would read of the awakening of Eckhart Tolle,  Byron Katie, Papaji and various other sages, and the permanent freedom they experienced from the limitations of living inside the movie projector of the mind.

Moment by moment, I am learning to be more observant of myself and how I create my own limitations and freedom.  It doesn’t require deep thinking to get into observer mode so I may experience my true self –  words can get in the way, it requires a silent observation which leads one back to the holy foundation of Self.

The Space of Contentment

 I noticed yesterday that I was happy for no reason; my mind was still while I was cooking.  Then when I went into my mind, even if my thoughts were positive, I was pulled out of that space of pure contentment. This confirmed to me that Eckhart Tolle and other sages are right when they teach that we need to stay present.  When we get into our heads, we miss the NOW.

The following quotes and images are from my Facebook page “Love Is The Answer.” It’s awesome to have a community from all over the world that is interested in spirituality and inspirational messages.  It’s even more awesome that it reached 17,628 users in one week even if it was a drop from last week.  I am not complaining.  Wish I had this traffic in WordPress or my business website!  Since I think in terms of ‘energy’ and the power of thoughts,  I am thinking that a worldwide focus on what is inspirational is serving the individual and collective consciousness.  Makes my efforts worthwhile.

Enjoy!

 
 

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. – Eckhart Tolle

Why did anxiety, stress, or negativity arise? Because you turned away from the present moment. And why did you do that? You thought something else was more important. You forgot your main purpose. One small error, one misperception, creates a world of suffering. – Eckhart Tolle

True communication is communion – the realization of oneness, which is love. – Eckhart Tolle

You don’t need to condemn. Just observe, That is sin. That is insanity. That is unconsciousness. Above all, don’t forget to observe your own mind. Seek out the root of the insanity there. – Eckhart Tolle

I am thankful  for another day of physical life and the chance to grow and to be love

for self and  others….

and to celebrate life whether I am alone or in the company of loved ones or friends…

I am thankful for my loved ones, my friends, the strangers who crossed my path…

I am thankful for the sage ones and the homeless man
for they are my teachers in love…

I am thankful for my love of writing and that of others as we enrich one another through our diversity and the gift of the written word…

Happy Thanksgiving! We can always find something to be thankful for no matter what we are experiencing in the moment.

And we do not need a holiday to be thankful, every day is sacred.  Wishing my friends who celebrate Thanksgiving and those who do not, a day filled with love and gratitude.
