A Speed Bump

Usually the end of the week is a time when we can relax right? Not this week I am sorry to inform all of you that I will no longer be working out of the Rocky Mountain Healing Center. This is a sad and frustrating time for myself as well as many others. Of course it is not usually a joyous time when you realize all of your hard work  (blood, sweat and tears if you will) is not working towards the greater good that you once so naively were working towards. I will still work towards a greater good however this is a time for reevaluation. I have decided that working for another's greater good will not serve me. Of course you say "well duh" however when working towards a purpose we tend to gather those around us that are working towards the same or common purpose. When doing this we can easily be mislead especially if we are not the people "running the show".
I have decided that I will always try to work for my own purpose. I will not be mislead by people who only claim to be working for the same goal. After all are we not the only people in charge of our own lives? How can I control what is going on when control is just an illusion?
One can never assume control over anything we are only but guides to our own lives.
I am the only person that can change my life! I am changing it at this very second. Taking steps away from trying to fix others poor decision making and just trying make my own way into the world. By doing this I know that my life will be different and I will make a better life for myself and my family. In doing this I will better be able to serve myself, my family and my community. After all my word for the year is freedom, now I am free.
I hope to see you all very soon.

Why a New Years Resolution, Why not a New Years Project?

I have come to realize that every new years resolution I have ever made has never worked out. Why do we insist upon setting ourselves up for failure at the beginning of every year? There has to be a better way. In my search for this better way the universe presented an answer. A wonderful friend said instead of a New Years resolution why not try this, choose a word for the year. Sounds simple enough right? It is one of the most powerful yet difficult exercises I have ever participated in. Not one word came to me until I had answered a few questions. After I answered the  questions listed below I finally came to "Freedom". Even typing this word now I feel empowered, comforted and most importantly free from my past, freedom from all decisions that others have made for me that I wouldn't have made for myself and free to be myself. Free to be as powerful as I can be. Upon saying this word I feel that the universe is here for me and that I can make anything happen.
 I feel that my words are just to small to express what I am feeling so here are the questions to help you with a much more powerful and productive New Years Project.
1. Write down your word.
2. Why is this word perfect for you in this year?
3. If you embraced and lived this word every day what would be different for you?
4. In what ways do you already embody or live this word every day?
5. In what ways are you not living this word every day?
6. How would you live this word, and how would that make your life different?

Please try this empowering exercise. Living a word feels so much better than trying to deny yourself your favorite sweet treat or feeling disappointed in your self for not working out 7 days a week.
This exercise was brought to us from a great friend whose wealth of knowledge is a wonderful gift to the universe. Thank you Tammi.
