We are always getting ready to live, but never living. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Years ago, I consciously made the decision to stop existing and to start living my life fully without regret. Doing so transformed my life in a multitude of ways. My perception of life and all of my life experiences shifted. I recognized that from the moment we breathe the breath of life, we are beginning to die. There is no guarantee that we will live for any length of time. Therefore, it is essential to live each day as though it may be our last.
I encourage you to begin living your life fully right now if you are not doing so already. Do not wait until it is too late to do or say something that you want to do. As the adage goes, “Take time to stop and smell the roses.” Choosing change and then identifying the change you desire within your life is the first step. It is equally necessary to begin taking time for you on a regular basis. Cultivating the relationship you have with yourself will nourish your soul resulting in a ripple effect in the relationships you have with others.
This is YOUR life to live…allow yourself to live it! Live your life for YOU!

Recent experiences over the past year has allowed me the ability to really see everyone and everything as well as every experience through the eyes of love. Each one of us are at different places on our life journey, and we should never compare our intended life experiences to another person’s journey. Whether I am interacting with another individual or offering guidance to others, I love each person individually and “see” them where they are at that moment while recognizing that the choices they make are “right” for them. Who am I to say otherwise? By honoring who I am and the journey that we are each on, I have freed myself from the self-imposed restraints of those energetic shackles.
There are two ways to view everything – through the eyes of love or through the eyes of fear. Love comes from the heart-space and is a higher vibration. Fear is a lower vibrational energy and comprises every emotion that isn’t love, including anger, frustration, worry, fear, doubt, regret and so on.
Our journey into consciousness involves a lot of trust. Trust that we are having the experiences we are intended to have for this incarnation. Trust that everything is happening how and when (and if) it is supposed to.
