I'm on a journey of self discovery. Some times I do not realize I'm on this journey and other times it's quite apparent. I like to visit Enchanted Games on myLifetime.com to read the positive affirmations. I have noticed that recently when I actually do sit and focus before I click on a card, I'm receiving virtually the same ones, often. The one that stands out the most I'm receiving is “I take time to meditate daily”
I brought up mediating several times and it is seriously becoming a wonderful part of my life. I'm actually enjoying the feeling of quieting my thoughts. I have also discovered that meditating is different each time I do so. Some times it's just a calming experience, while other times it's a calming euphoric experience.
Some simple steps I am using to meditate. First I make sure there is no distractions around me. TV off and even music. I sit or lay on my bed. I relax my body take a few deep breaths. Then I simply focus on clearing my mind. Now it sounds funny, but that is exactly what I do, concentrate on clearing my mind. I say things in my mind, “Clearing my thoughts.” Which I repeat a few times until I feel my concentration is literally on these words and nothing else. Then I take another step, “I'm one with the Universe.” or “I'm one with the Holy Spirit.” Which I repeat over and over, but it's a very relaxed voice I use in my head and I visualize nothing but a blank, white slate and there is a soft drifting or swaying back and forth in my mind of floating in this cosmic stream of unity.
Once I am this relaxed state I do positive affirmations, or I begin to use gratitude statements, thanking the Universe for my life. Sometimes I just allow my mind to drift and I watch and see where my thoughts lead me.
One thing for sure, this is a positive step forward in my journey of self discovery.

We're all connected
Right now I've been reading several different books and something I notice I'm being led back to is that we're all connected. So my concentration the last few weeks seem to be on being connected.
It is amazing when you think about it, because we are all connected and those of us who are disconnected are still connected they just don't know it. So it's good to remind people that they are not alone and that we are all connected. Even connected those people we don't want to be connected with.
I think once we understand we are connected and we don't want to be connected to another for whatever reason(s) we need to realize we are still connected and that's where forgiveness plays in.

Meditation
I'm really learning to love meditation. It never ceases to amaze me the differences in my days from the day I do meditate compared to when I don't meditate.
I'm really an advocate on quieting the mind and slowing down all the numerous thoughts that spread throughout our minds.
The days I meditate, I am more calm, at ease and far more focused than on the days I don't. So I challenge everyone to try to meditate frequently and see what changes you notice.

Mothers Day
Mothers Day came and went with me working and not thinking too much about it. I worked 12 hours that day and watched all the children picking up their mothers and was just happy they were with family.
I have three beautiful children. Rachael, Jeremiah and Sarah. Rachael and Jeremiah are adults now with Rachael being married and a mother of a precious daughter, Veronica. I have been blessed to have such beautiful children. They still bless me when I think of them and when I am with them.
Rachael and Jeremiah live in another state than Sarah and I do, about 1300 miles away from us. The internet is such a wonderful tool and it has given us a chance to reach out and see each other on webcam, which is absolutely amazing.
I was excited to see my granddaughter being an adorable 18 months old, laughing and playing and I could see Rachael in her and to me this brought back so many memories of when Rachael was little. I was filled with joy and the thing that hit me most watching my daughter and granddaughter was that my daughter is an amazing mother. I could see the love between them and their interactions. I could see the attentiveness of Rachael to her daughter as she played in the background. Always checking on her, making sure she was ok as she spoke to me on the webcam. It was so ingrained in her that I doubt my daughter even noticed what she did.
I think often we go through life as mothers worried if we are doing the right thing. I know that we have doubts about how we are raising our children. I know I have had many doubts in how I raised my older two children more so than with Sarah. I am much more confident in what I do or say with Sarah and I think because of my maturity and experience it has helped me a lot.
I often worried about Rachael because her teen years with me were troubled years. She went through a lot and all I ever wanted was for her to be happy. Rachael when she was little was the most beautiful child with big blue eyes and the sweetest smile and although she had one hell of a temper she was wonderful to hold, hug and nuzzle. There came a point as a teen, she no longer wanted to hug, nuzzle or be cute. But as I watched her with her daughter, there was my baby Rachy cuddling, kissing and loving all over her little one and I am proud to say she's a great mom and still a great daughter.
I'm not sure I'd told her enough what a great daughter she is because of the miles that have kept us apart for more years than I'd like to say. But I do know we are all connected in this vast universe and whether she realizes it or not but for nine months she shared my heart and it beat for both of us. Stuff like that just doesn't go away.
So to all those mothers and daughters out there just remember that even though our physical bodies are no longer connected our spiritual ones are. So lets make mothers day every day and keep the love connection going. I know I'm making this conscience effort to send all my love to my children through this unending stream of life.

Friends & Hugs
I believe we attract people to us and us to them. There are several people I work with that I feel such a kindred spirit with. I feel very blessed to see them and speak with them. I get excited just seeing them walk in the door.
Of course I'm always wanting to share something with them and they are always willing to listen. It's also great when they are excited to see me and actually want to listen to the little story I have or some insight that I've read or has popped into my head.
When I told one of my friends about this blog she was all about reading it and encouraged me to share it!
I think these are people who help us grow and in turn I think we are helping them grow in some way. The thought of this alone is absolutely exciting to me. I'm easily excitable and my friends can testify to this.
I have an abundance of energy and those around me know it. I also smile, laugh and giggle a lot too. One woman from work calls me giggle box when she see's me and she always has a hug for me and I for her.
I have a hug for anyone who needs it.
A few months back my daughter and I went to breakfast with a friend, the one who encourages me in this blog. She's a friend who is of a kindred soul to me. I can be a bit loud with my excitement and it's true that I do sometimes attract attention. A long time ago I read this is a Gemini trait... heh.
Anyway we were having breakfast laughing and having a great time when I heard my name. I turned and a few tables away I saw this woman I used to work with. I quickly went over and hugged her. She was having breakfast with her husband. There was a couple sitting at the table next to them and as I got ready to head back to my table he laughed and said to me. "Could I get one of those hugs?" He had this big genuine smile and I was just going to laugh him off but something struck me and I said "Sure!" and I leaned over and gave him a big hug and he returned it. Both him and his wife were smiling so big. I told them both to have a great day and went back to my table.
There was nothing improper in the way he acted or by me. Nothing sexual or anything that would come close. No idea his name or anything. they could have been traveling through. I do live in a touristy town. It was a friendly hug and I have to wonder if he was there because he honestly needed a hug and maybe I was there because I was receptive enough to give it.
I believe in the law of attraction. So everyday i look around at what's going on in my life and I ask myself. Why am I attracting this? If it's negative and if it's positive I say. Thank you.
