Seven days

Yesterday while doing my morning vigil of waking up a thought occured to me. Or rather several thoughts. So leaving with this simple yet profound thought. God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. Now... what do you think we can do in seven days if we really put our minds, hearts and souls into it?

Celebration

Easter yesterday was a very different Easter for me. Usually on Easter I would cook lamb and celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, but this year that isn't what I celebrated at all. I honestly didn't even reflect on it or the "Easter Bunny" aspect of it at all.

I did have to work though and although I wished everyone a Happy Easter, it was more about celebrating the day and celebrating life.

However I recall thinking to myself earlier in the day that today really isn't any different for me than any other day because I take joy and celebrate every day. Every day is a gift and a day to celebrate life.

So I began to ponder what are we supposed to celebrate on Easter? Well Christian or pagan it really boils down to life, celebrating life. Christ's resurrection is about raising from the dead giving us new life. Most pagan celebrations I think are about the same, celebrating spring, new life, fertility which is to bring new life.

Many things have changed in my life and this just showed me another aspect of the change within me. I celebrate life every day, not just once a year. I'm happy and grateful and thank God, Universal Mind for this wonderful life each and every day. Truthfully I give thanks multiple times a day. Life is worth living and worth celebrating. So I guess every day is Easter.

Feng Shui

I love the whole Feng Shui, chi and all that. It's so interesting. I was looking in the library for more info two summers ago and found a great book. I've read several books since about Feng Shui, but I think this book by Karen Rauch Carter has been my fave. So please check out her website and book if you are interesting in Feng Shui

Taking Time

I was talking with a friend the other day. Her life is a amazingly chaotic I know that we are what we make. I suggested for her to start meditating and recently I started doing Ah meditations in the morning and Om meditations at night. I mentioned it takes only twenty minutes to do a set of these meditations and she told me that she didn't even have 20 minutes a day in her life to do anything.

I recall many years ago it seemed like I didn't have 20 minutes to do a fitness workout at home. I saw an infomercial or something on relationships at the time and not making time was brought up. Anyway something struck my brain at making the time to do something for yourself.

I think we can become so caught up with everyone else that we forget about ourselves and when we reach this point that is especially time to stop and make time, take the time to stop and do something for yourself. I'm often asked how do you find all this time to write? I find the time because I've learned, "If it ain't fun, don't do it." So I do what is fun and writing is fun. Meditation is fun. Yoga is fun. I make life fun, because life is what we make it.
