A Burning Question About Who You’d Be With A Clean State

 

 

As always Danielle Laporte hit the nail so triumphantly that everything else locked into place on it’s own. As if nails in a foundation could be dominoes and setting one off would trickle down to each and every other nail…yeah, this is a strange metaphor, but this is how I feel.

As if I was building the foundation to house my home and this nail was hit perfectly. This was the idea of erasing everything from your past and imagining who you would be…what you would be more of, if you had a clean slate.

For a much more provocative and invigorating expression of this, definitely click on the link for Danielle Laporte’s artistic perusal and inspiration for this post. Maybe you will answer the question yourself…if that is where you are right now.

I am definitely in this space, where this question is so relevant it is like I personally asked for this email to be sent day after day for hmmm, a month? Who knows how long, the point is, I am just now ready to really say it, and more importantly, do it. I am ready to say that I would be more dreamy, if you can imagine… and yet more active and more reliable…all at the same time, if I would erase the things from my past that creep beneath the door when I’m on the verge of something or maybe they knock and I let them in… I would stop second-guessing and changing my mind only to go back to the same ideas and I would be more confident and more committed…

And I know as Miss Laporte has said that I could just let it go…because I have done it before…but I have built up these new stories and maybe I am afraid to knock them down. Maybe I wasn’t done building them yet. I feel ready now to release that trauma…and I know I can and I know what it looks like and feels like afterwards… it feels like liberation. I feel more like me.

Love, Death & Relationships... It isn't personal.

I had a revelatory dream a few months ago. I woke up with the words "God is impersonal". (When I have dreams that are like messages, they usually take the form of written words or simple statements. I don't have these often, but when I do, I remember.) After I woke up, I immediately got it. I understood it completely. But of course!

I Met A Love Entity

This was written on 8/25/12:

I had a dream last night…the kind of dream I haven’t had in a while, but looking back the last few nights I certainly see the build-up.

This dream took place in a post-apocalyptic time…or a post-now time anyway. The fact is that the rules of this time were very well-defined, they were very realistic and they were very transformational times…there was a lot history plugged away and a lot of new discoveries.

In the dream there was a huge building, actually a compound. There were tons of people going from room to room, inside and outside, stairwell to stairwell. There were authorities or enemies.

There was also a shopping mall, but this mall was very different from the normal “dream mall” it was huge, futuristic, interactive and no one really knew how it worked. I went from store to store with my family. Much of the mall seemed to be advertising homes, furniture, a lifestyle, a city, a way to live.

I would go into a store and it would be designed to make me want to purchase the place, to live there. I went to the bathroom in one of them and it was very futuristic. When I entered a gift certificate was ejected from a slot in the wall with my aunt’s name on it.

It was more her style and if I hadn’t needed to use the bathroom she probably would have ended up in that bathroom first.

By the end of the dream a few things happened, one is that I needed to find food. There were food courts in many different places and I could not find something I wanted or that was vegan.

Also, I seemed to have picked a place. At this point I picked a place that I felt a heart-centered attraction to. A need to be involved and protect this place. I believed in the ideals and purpose of this place.

There was an entity of love there. Not quite a leader but a lover, a model of excellence for those of us trying to live this way. This being was being diplomatic and negotiating with the “authorities”. Among many different backgrounds, shifts, movements, meetings, etc. I was there, with a few others, talking to this being, or at least communicating. I was learning, and taking action, implementing and protecting, modeling and watching.

By the end of the dream, the entity was caught, captured, captivated or just taken.  It was a decision, in a way to go away but it was one of those decisions you make because there is no better option.  Many of us stood there as our mentor was taken away.  I gave him a big hug.  A gigantically tall, but lean, soft, blue body, emitting nothing but love and light and warmth and safety.  It was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever felt…pure love.  In that moment it was the most simple and most powerful thing that could be done.  Just an enveloping touch of love…

For a brief moment I felt anxious, that I should be doing something else.  I telepathically questioned my mentor and though there was acknowledgement the only response was a deeper hug and a deeper love.

Upon waking I thought that this being was not male nor female but reminded me of Shiva.

There is another part of this dream.  That which happened after this being was taken.  It was more like incubating the dream to glean what else I needed to learn from it.  I took this and turned it into a story that I will post on my Feather Story blog this Friday.  The other part of this story is the subtle change in my life that this dream activated.  I will keep track of this energy as it churns and transforms and I will be sure to share it with you when the time is right.

I believe the most important thing about dreams is how slowly and completely they can heal and transform us and this is not often seen, because, it is slow and subtle, and we often don’t have the patience to notice and acknowledge it…but this I will do and I hope it inspires a dream revolution.  :)

I Have The Bad Blogger Bug…

This is what happens when you don’t get your daily recommended dose of Vitamin Blog:

 

  • Your weekly meal plan blog hasn’t been posted in weeks and you no longer know what you’re going to eat everyday…so you end up eating things you don’t want to eat, you end up skipping meals, you end up having things in your kitchen you can’t figure out how to utilize, you eat your meals separately from your children and eventually you eat something that gives you the bug…
  • You stop commenting on other blogs and don’t even realize when you have comments to respond to from other bloggers…so you end up feeling like you don’t know what you’re doing, where to get motivation or inspiration or where to look for advice.
  • You stopped creating Wordless Wednesday posts, Spanish Friday posts and Sunday Surf posts…so all of a sudden it’s Thursday and you realize you don’t even remember what happened to the rest of the week.  You also look back on your blog and realized you have lied to your readers about what your next blog was going to be about, because you completely forgot.
  • A hazy feeling of pre-post expectation.  This is when you expect reactions to a post that you haven’t published yet.
  • A lot of snot all over you keyboard. (yuck)  This makes your mouse, browser and all kinds of things screw up in ways you can’t comprehend.  Bad, bad, blogger.

 

The only way to recover from the bad blogger bug is to set up some healthy blog habits.

 

You may need to create a sense of clarity you have not created before.  What do you really want out of your blog, what are you really giving and sharing with your readers, is it appropriate, is it worthwhile, can you continue to deliver as is or is there a need to change your approach, theme, process?

 

You may need to set up some rituals to help you ease out of this transition.  Maybe you need to blog outside, set up a block of time for blogging, blog in a written journal first, or create videos or pictures, and a vision board or creation station to make your blog, more you.

 

It may look something like this:

 

Step 1:  Eat before blogging.  Not during, not after.  And when I say eat, I don’t mean snack.

 

Step 2: Blog before bedtime(not at bedtime).

 

Step 3: Create a Quarterly blog schedule.  This will include when you work on your blog and how often you have things scheduled to publish.  This should also include  your promotion for your posts.

 

Step 4: Create a Quarterly blog calendar/agenda.  This will include your topics, themes and whatever you need to create each particular blog.  You can do this in partial, but in your schedule give yourself a checkpoint to have certain blogs decided on for sure.  Like a month in advance having them all planned, or a week in advance having them all written.

 

Step 5: Solidify blog inspirations and relationships.  Blog rolls, subscriptions, follows, including following comments, guest posts, etc.

 

Step 6: Blog in advance.  Don’t give yourself unrealistic expectations, that on a whim you can create a blog post and publish it right away.

 

Step 7:  Occasionally shake it up.
