This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 02, 2009:

Harts
Stars of Hearts... Hearts of Stars

I went firstly to my Pictures folder entitled 'Beauty' when I sat down to finally reflect on this question and answer it. I knew I was going to this morning, eventually. Although it's been quite some time coming :) [hours-wise]

And how I knew in my gut that I would reflect this time is because of the fact that the question struck me positively and, indeed [at last], the things that are striking me positively are finding more resonance and comfort in my day to day life now... Some old habits are dying, peacefully, hard...

A few impacts surrounding this are:

  1. I get to look, guilt-free at things of beauty
  2. I 'schedule' in conversations with those persons that bring me inspiration, encouragement, hope, solace, amusement, precious entertainment, support and harmonious life
  3. I feel a great deal less pressure with the clock ticking
  4. I feel like it is ok to be practical, efficient, effective, loving, joyful, hopeful, beautiful...

We are pretty darn strong people here in this life-serving, life-loving community! I sure know I AM! And I am feeling that strength now, increasingly, day after day after day... I'm finally feeling 'normal'...

Goodness, what is the change to Aquarius going to bring?

I gotta admit; I'm more than excited to find it out!

My wonderful true friends, brothers, sisters in this GAIA and Global community are quite beautifully fitting the profile I've posted there...

Stars of Hearts... Hearts of Stars...


across our Universe.

That's what I love most about my life right now...

Love to you,

Always,

What do you have the hardest time asking for?

Posted on Jan 4th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 04, 2009:

Time.

I always feel concerned about taking up other people's time excessively. It is an unreasonable concern of mine about abusing what is one of the most valuable things people 'own'.

It is such that when I am unwell or exhausted, I don't ask until often really late, often to my detriment, for some kind of assistance. Indeed I have ended up almost collapsing because I did not want to inconvenience anybody, while out on a hike!

I think it's from years of people behaving as if asking for help was indicative of a weakness or that such people are useless or a bother of some kind... I think this is unfortunate but the case.

I'm trying to cleanse my mind about subjects like this as well... and re-build a wholesome relationship with want, need, God's subjects and functionaries, fulfilment, gratification and plain and simple good health and relationships!

The story continues...




Peace and love to you dears,

Sherrilene

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 06, 2009:



The End of Worry

Acceptance of what is, is a challenge. It has special dimensions to it.

Logic and being rational long showed themselves inadequate to manage day to day life, in joy and peace. But the mind still has its way of persisting in getting involved in my life management.

I admire those that I hear about who can empty their minds for extensive periods and [apparently] not be concerned about what happens next or what's coming...

Mind you, I 'know' what is [going to be] required to do this, again intentionally letting go - my constant challenge - but there's always a rather bumpy process that accompanies getting to that decisive place.

When I can best tune in to the build-up and perhaps manage my actions and reactions en route, maybe I will finally address the worry habit.

I am smilingly hopeful.

Peace and love to each and all out there.

Your friend

Where do you find the sacred in your life?

Posted on Jan 7th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 07, 2009:

By going deep...

The superficial nature of the world which we live in isn't precious, isn't sacred. But yet it dominates our senses; takes up much of our time and mental space.

As a consequence, in order to be myself, authentic and loving, I have to consciously tune in; go deeper to the true Source and recognise that this is where Truth is really going on.

By accepting that what we see, hear and sometimes feel is nothing more than triggers for our deeper choices, we open our door for real connection with the divine, with all that is sacred in our existence.

Peace and love to all,

Sherrilene

Look deeply...

Which are You? by Ella Wheeler-Wilcox

Posted on Jan 7th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
Inspired by clear evidence of imbalances, please consider this poem and feel free to share...

There are two kinds of people on earth to-day;
Just two kinds of people, no more, I say.

Not the sinner and saint, for it's well understood,
The good are half bad, and the bad are half good.

Not the rich and the poor, for to rate a man's wealth,
You must first know the state of his conscience and health.

Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span,
Who puts on vain airs, is not counted a man.

Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears.

No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean,
Are the people who lift, and the people who lean.

Wherever you go, you will find the earth's masses,
Are always divided in just these two classes.

And oddly enough, you will find too, I ween,
There's only one lifter to twenty who lean.

In which class are you? Are you easing the load,
Of overtaxed lifters, who toil down the road?

Or are you a leaner, who lets others share
Your portion of labor, and worry and care?

Ella Wheeler-Wilcox
1850-1919

Peace and love to you.

What is going right in your life right now?

Posted on Jan 8th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 08, 2009:

Ok, where do I begin?

Maybe I could reflect on the blog about feeling normal somewhat...

Finding a succession of positive topics to blog about is not too badll!

Well I found love in my family; in fact most of my family 'issues' just seem to be evaporating at last. Thank goodness for this! God's still on the case it seems.

And my personal life is beautifully streamlining with my work, finally. The combination is making sense at last.

My friends are happy and excited about life; this is good!

Fun has re-entered my world as a major option for day to day life.

Certainly all of my work is on course; I have no more doubts on direction. It's just coming.

I'm finally 'getting' men and how the male mind works. [This might be temporary lol]

And finding Olivia Newton-John on Youtube has to be on the top of my list of things going right :D

All in all, I don't have much to not feel great about. And I am so grateful!!!

I guess life is sunny!

Peace and love to all at GAIA and GAIA Administration!

What has given you the most strength?

Posted on Jan 10th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 10, 2009:

Belief in the notion that if it comes to my mind, then it means it is possible...  I will find the inner fortitude to see it, whatever it is, manifested and come into being...

That, and, if it has been done by any living person before, that means that I can do it too...


The condition or state of my mind has been far more significant in the pursuit of my various achievements over time, than anything else. The clarity of vision, mixed with my conviction for living, are far and beyond anything, the major resources for cutting through 'this reality' and getting to where one wants to be.

Faith and passion most definitely have their place.

This requires, however, a belief in a higher, strengthening and supportive power; call it God, call it what you will.

But the acceptance that the substance of the entire Universe is available and at your disposal if you decide to let go and to lean on it, is far more significant in difficult times than ever attempting to summon strength to do it all by yourself...

Strength, therefore, hasn't been given to me; it is just there! I need little strength myself when I accept what is given, without condition, there.

Meeting and getting to know some tremendous, equally connected and passionate persons along the way, has reinforced me, however, and if anything has strengthened my resolve to keep that connection with All, clean and uncluttered.

Thanks to my peaceful, positive, powerful friends, brothers and sisters, simply for being yourselves.

Loving you with a purity and clarity only God could have manifested.

10 Ways to Honor Thyself


10 Ways to Honor Thyself
document.write(curPage.Body);By Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway


"To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness." - Robert Morely

Love is one of the most powerful energies on the planet. We are born with love in our hearts, and it lives within us all. But some of us put so much focus on finding love and approval "out there" that we never get a chance to truly develop it within ourselves. We look for it in the external world--from parents, partners, friends, bosses, new people we meet, people we admire. If any one of them disappoints, devastation follows.

How many times have you been hurt because of someone else's opinion of you? When we experience self-esteem only through the eyes of others, one unkind word or a bad mood in another can shatter our sense of self.

Are you feeling the love? If not, it is time to take our self-love challenge--10 tips and techniques to help you enhance your life by cultivating love from within.

Learn to give yourself the love you deserve.

Do you believe there is value in suffering?

Posted on Jan 11th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 11, 2009:

I take suffering to mean, the chosen endurance of significant discomfort or even pain for extended periods, as a leadup to some ultimate reward or benefit in the long run...

So my response to this question is: NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!

I haven't bought into this paradigm of suffering in the least! I draw on plenty evidence available in nature which shows that when pain or discomfort is taking place, it is usually fast and deadly, and to continue the circle of life, as it is. It isn't about 'sacrifice' and struggle and all of those things that have become the standard in human life expectancy.

Most of the lessons I've been exposed to which involved an element of pain or hard times, were clearly a matter of refining myself, getting a glimpse at my potential inner strength, my fortitude... At no time, when I have chosen to 'suffer' an uncomfortable or distasteful situation, have I been satisfied with my 'performance', in knowing that the alternative, called being happy, was being technically rejected.

Self imposed or tolerated long-suffering is an unfortunate [chosen] direction of energy, which could be used towards creating all-round happier outcomes, useful outputs and better living circumstances for all that are involved.

If we all moved to the place where we would not accept suffering in our space, I have no doubt the energies towards happiness in the world at large, would increase multi-fold!

Don't you?

Peace and love and happiness!!!

If you had to pick another religion to practice, what would it be

Posted on Jan 12th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 12, 2009:

Ba hai looks quite interesting.

Visit Eli's blog for some more information on it.

The 'human' element is always the biggest difficulty with religion; as in, who's writing the rules, who's interpreting and probably most importantly, who's instructing on them.

Any religion which comprises of particular practices that enhance the connection to truth and encourage or enhance communion and fellowship, but still allows for individual rights and choices to move in and out of the grouping would be ideal.

But like Mila said in her blog, much of this can be accomplished in everyday life...

Then there is the even more substantial religion which I am practically already signed up for; that would be Chocolicism. Shirl is such a visionary!



Happy peace practice to you all!

What has your recent relationship to money been like?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 13, 2009:

48e35fca63db7healing_touch_energy
I've felt guilt about having any money while other people are cringing without having enough. But faith is teaching me that it is as it should be and further, that I've 'earned' my inflow of currency through meaningful, useful work.

I have definitely decided not to hoard it! Each time I have decided to spend some on something dear to my heart, another inflow came in ...

Come to think on it... it's always been that way!

The grim state of life is: although I am not attached to money in itself, I recognise that for some time to come, certain things will continue to be paid for with cash.

As long as I am certain I am creating value in my work and life, I believe I will have a healthy relationship with money.

Peace. Sherrilene

What question would you most like answered?

Posted on Jan 14th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 14, 2009:

Questions
Why bother?

There is a propulsion in me to do my 'bit' to help bring alignment and peacefulness to this world. But it isn't as if I've got a clear picture of what it will be worth or if it is going to take place for me to witness it or participate in it. It's just my calling!

The 'human' in me, which still likes to 'get' what I'm getting into looks around sometimes and asks myself, 'Well, does it really matter?'

It's purely faith that keeps me thinking that this type of 'path' is important, is relevant to the big picture. And truthfully, I accept I may not be here when it all gets 'worked out', given the nature of time, eternity etc.

And of course I might opt out and chill on the beach and let people take care of me...

But what satisfaction can come out of it? Surely nothing compared to the pleasure of seeing what I dreamed emerge!

So the 'human' in me kicks in there as well to keep me going...

I love the very natural balance of things!

A 'sneak peek' into the future would be a great response to my question. But it isn't a need, whatsoever.

I continue on my way.

Thanks for the question!

Peace to you!

What is it about Olivia Newton-John? Celebrating this lady!!

Posted on Jan 14th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
Apart from Abba, no other artiste from the years of my youth has stayed with me like ONJ. I hold such great admiration for her!

A bit of her story from Wiki:

Olivia Newton-John AO, OBE (born 26 September 1948) is an English-born, Australian pop singer, songwriter and actress of Welsh and German origin. She is an avid activist for both environmental issues and breast cancer awareness.

Her very natural giftedness, openness, sincere expression, just seem to draw me in every single time. I never get tired of sharing a moment with this lady.

She is a full woman, in my humble opinion! An inspiration for me.

Here are some clips of my favourite Olivia Newton-John videos that I have been immersing myself in, in recent weeks. Hope you enjoy them also.

Don't hesitate to send me your favourites as well and I will quick link them in the blog body!

Have a great time, please!

Yes, even here, we are pretty darn hyped about the official start of a new era in U.S. political leadership!

My University is making arrangements for the ceremony and its pre-activity to be televised 'live', although during work hours! 

My Facilitator colleagues are planning a 'camp out' all morning of the day, to make sure we won't miss a moment, and to share harmoniously in the coming new time! Lots of mention of food, drinks, laughter!

One of my favourite singers Michael Franti has a new song that just sounds like the celebration theme we can kick up our feet to, on that day and after!

Here is the link:

The following day is a National Holiday here, Errol Barrow Day, which is also significant, as EB is our Father of Independence. January 21st is his birthday which we celebrate annually. EB is also one of my primary role models in leadership anywhere!

Are you doing anything to prepare for the inauguration [and all the possibility it stands for]?

What fun!

Best to you,

I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we�re grey and old
�cos I�ve been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I�m lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I�m loving angels instead

and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I�m right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I�m loving angels instead

when I�m feeling weak
and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
and I know ill always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I�m loving angels instead

and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I�m right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I�m loving angels instead

Thank you God for our angels right here on earth.
I love and honour you this day and always...

How could your life be more balanced?

Posted on Jan 16th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 16, 2009:

Hmmm... Probably a bit more encouraging self talk.

I put the work in to help others feel like they are fine and very acceptable.

But I critique myself quite a bit, and I'm not proud of it to be honest. My reflections have morphed into self judgment over the years; not even sure when that happened!

It is a habit I'd like to spend some time with, since it impacts my personal time, and not in a joyful way, maybe too much.

I am attempting to release self judgment, to accept I am where I'm to be at and to move to a joyful space when by myself...

The walk... it continues...

St. Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love..

Thanking Mila for sharing this prayer with us. It is so generous. Isn't this one of the best gifts one could be given? I think so...

The Human in Me

Posted on Jan 17th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
I'm going through a challenge; I was just going to say 'Probably the biggest ever...', but how many times have I said that? lol

Just that this time I feel that outstanding and excellent outcome as highly likely rather than the usual sensation of steep, rocky mountain climbing without my glasses on being the dominant thought! That's a positive change :)

The challenge is about people [of course!] It's both my strength and my weakness to be able to tune into people's energies without much difficulty. The good: I feel the intention when I tune in. The bad: I absorb the good and the bad intention into my system.

So, technically, I feed and grow from wonderful, warm energies... and I decline and deteriorate from excessive negative energies as well.

In recent months I have been 'living' in the latter space, both professionally and personally. The word 'toxic' has been used to describe the situations repeatedly. It is a stunner to think how many have spontaneously thrown that word out... It's like the consciousness raising we're experiencing is getting us to notice what is truly killing us... underlying decay...

In short, I have been undermined, sabotaged, harassed, threatened, de-friended [this one broke my heart, almost], stepped on and taken advantage of from so many different directions that I don't care to list them here; too much space taken!

First time for any of this? No. First time for so much in succession and simultaneously? Yeh, most likely!

Yeh, my system has taken a beating!

And my undeveloped ability to discharge and recharge has shown its limits. My physical form is responding negatively to the backup. I'm actually ill! Imagine that lol

So, choices...

To the place I want to be...

I'll need to project to that.

This will be my emphasis for this weekend.

Thank goodness I am aware of all the options which I have available to me, even if unarticulated right now. Thank goodness God has fixed me up with what I need to make things better as well, avenues that are willing and open to help me de-stress, refresh and cleanse and gradually heal, and ultimately learn the current lesson about 'managing' my life.

Thank God for the ocean; thank God for my stong sister-friend, the massage therapist, thank God for powerful friends here who are holding their heads up through major hardships and making us laugh somehow [yes, you Mary!]... and injecting me with hope and inspiration each time.

The situations remain; they are still rigid somewhat, but even in my depressed state [depressed meaning I am not flying as I ought to be], I sense how this rigidity will be to the other people's own major difficulty. Indeed, in every case, my 'work' has been to attempt to make life easy for all of us, but it has not been accepted as such. Such collaboration didn't fit the familiar 'rule by fear' modelling... thus it was the new enemy...

Right now it is the healing I'm onto; also guided; still unconscious mostly. But I am really looking forward to the day when people don't feel the need to fight themselves, to resist growth, to be their better selves; where the dominant energies be those of caring for self and others. Fortunately I get those signals from the Universe as well, that this is coming. I do have some absolutely INCREDIBLE people in my space as well that I'm taking the next steps to merge with completely, spiritually.

In the meantime, I look forward to the peaceful transition out of the present situations very soon. I know I will be stronger at the end of it and I am going to do my best not to bring 'why me?' into my thinking, because I miss a lot of 'lucky, lucky me!' moments while doing that. :D

I'm guided to ask my friends for your loving support and energies for my healing, for my transitions on the work front and into a different living environment to be peaceful, joyful and full of excitement for the future that is now.

And again, I wish you peace... firstly... and joy absolutely!

Thank you for being good friends. I'm blessed for certain.

Onto that theme song which will stay on my intermittent playlist for some time, I think...

What do you have the hardest time accepting?

Posted on Jan 17th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 17, 2009:

That people might be at different places along their development paths... and further, that we are completely all right being right where we are!

I look at people and I immediately see the potential resident in them. I begin at that place. I speak to them at that higher level and quite often, they respond. But to make any assumption that a person will live and act at this high level consistently is my biggest mistake, and one which I keep doing repeatedly.

Because a person can 'go there', it doesn't mean that they 'live' there, which is the significant difference I'm learning to build discernment around.

I've learned it doesn't matter how well placed, how holy, how 'esteemed' an individual might be in society, etc., that this doesn't affect their decision making on the spot when under a certain amount and type of pressure. No, this is very much decided by the degree of refinement of this individual and isn't detected generally from day to day simple 'things', but from occasions of soul challenge, you might say...

Inspired by increasingly drastic and dramatic, clearly ego-driven responses from some of the most 'put together' I have ever met, I have had cause to reflect on this for my peace of mind.

The conclusions: These are all God's Children; all of us. All serving a purpose in this time. And doing the best we can at this time as well.

As am I...

This probably is my final hurdle in 'getting' people [for now :) ]... I can choose my method of interactions with anyone now, much better, with this understanding and acceptance... and hopefully, substantially relieve my stress!

Acceptance brings liberty.

Peace and love to all.

BE-ing the vibrational match to the essence of your desires...

Posted on Jan 17th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
My beautiful friend Victoria kindly brought this incredible article by Abraham-Hicks to my attention. It reminded me of the powerful ability at our disposal when living with knowledge of the Law of Attraction! I thought I would share!


"If you can now fixate on the essence of the life you want and become a better and better vibrational match to that, the Universe will orchestrate circumstances and events and often you don’t even have to say anything. In other words, you don’t have to say: “I’m done.” Its just that everything evolves so that you all move on living happily ever after toward what you are wanting, you just move forward not together.

It never feels good to be the one being left behind. So when you say: “give me kind words to say I’m done with you.” We say there are no such words. But when you say give me resonate words that say: “I’m in love with life and I’m moving toward life and I want you to too.” That’s a whole different thing you see.

Most people and this is the interesting thing – we can feel it with you, we feel it with almost everybody – most people don’t start moving toward what they want without pushing very hard against what they don’t want. It’s almost that they think, as in the leverage in the physical world, if I push against this thing that I do not want – that it will thrust me towards what I do want. So I’ll push against this and then I will move in the direction of what I am wanting.

But Law of Attraction doesn’t work that way, when you push that way you vibrate that way and when you vibrate that way you go that way. In other words, you cannot push against what you do not want without keeping yourself from moving in the direction of what you do want. So our encouragement to you is to talk about where you’re going, not what you are leaving. And here’s the interesting part, a little tricky but you can do it. Can you find a way to talk about where you are going without justifying you going there by pushing against that?

Most people don’t. Most people feel such a need to explain to everybody why they are going this way that they have to condemn that. And then they get their energy split and the Universe doesn’t cooperate and then everybody gets their feelings hurt and then you don’t end up where you wanted to be anyway. You just end up without that miserable thing and standing in the middle of something that is equally or more great in its misery. So the kind words that we are offering are not to your mate, they are to you and they go like this: “Don’t go yet.

Don’t take the action yet. Say in your own mind – I may very well be going and I’m certainly going towards greater joy but I’m going to line up with the greater joy first and then the Universe is going to carve out the path for me. And it will be a path that is what I’m asking for here. It will be a kind path. It will be a path of kindness and love and everybody will benefit from it.

(applause)

There is a tendency to say: I’m good for them. And if I am not there they will suffer my loss. And yet I don’t want to be there but I am committed to be there and I feel trapped in my commitment and therefore I don’t like them, because they need me and they’ve trapped me.

And we say feel the difference when we say: everyone has access to Source Energy and everyone has their own vibrational escrow and I cannot stand on my head in enough ways to keep them happy but I can close my own vibrational gap. And then ask yourself: “Can I take action right now, which I am tempted to do, and close my vibrational gap or does it widen it?"

And we can tell by the way you feel and the very words you ask for here that that action widens your gap. It doesn’t close it. Even though ultimately it may very well be what you are going to do. Doing it now, before you have lined up energy gets you going that way instead of that way. Sometimes people worry and say: “No, I’ve made my decision Abraham. I’m moving on. Don’t try to talk me into staying.” And we say we’re not trying to talk you into combining with that relationship. We’re trying to talk you into combining with you and You.

And when you take the time to line up with You, every action that you offer will be beneficial to anyone with whom you are interacting.


For me, the timeliness regarding the approach to relationships was impeccable! Universe speaks!

This particular phrase is quite impacting: 'everyone has access to Source Energy and everyone has their own vibrational escrow'... Again, how liberating...


Peace, Sherrilene

It's in moments like this when I slow down that I feel overwhelminginly joyful about living and I recognise that being happy is natural. Look at the little laughing babies for goodness sakes!

Don't even TRY to hold it back now. Go on! SMILE!! Or better yet... LAUGH!!

Smiley!

Love to ya,

How do you deal with fear?

Posted on Jan 20th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 19, 2009:

I let it have its way. That usually makes me stay put for a time, processing the thoughts and sentiments attached to it... expectant that it shall pass...

And eventually these do move away... and generally to breakthrough of some kind.

Like everything, I attempt to not fight fear. I am aware enough now, to wait until it, like everything, changes...

Flow with whatever...


Peace and blessings,

Love, Sherrilene

I'm looking forward... period!

Posted on Jan 20th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
I started this blog by thinking 'I'm looking forward to this brighter future etc. etc.', in one part being inspired by the pleasure of being alive and conscious at a time to see Martin Luther King's dream manifesting bit by bit, and take a big leap with Pres. Obama's inauguration... but also nudged by the feeling that this stagnation in my space has got to get moving!

That fantastic song from the dancing days of my youth filters in my brain: 'Back to Life, Back to Reality'

But it isn't really a future built around anybody else that's propelling me on this day. It's just the feeling that I need to focus on my happiness! And where is that? Certainly, not backward!

Thus my sentiment of looking forward, head up, heart high, mind clean and pure.

All that has happened is for a reason and a really good one. I won't know just yet; I am just clear that the learnings as they relate to my body deteriorating then regenerating are significant to me and a strong reminder about the trade-off I feel we make when we get the chance to walk on this planet.

I think that the body is given as the tool to enjoy this physical life with; to manifest our truth, our faith, our belief. And so, how we treat that portal of ours is so indicative of the amount of respect we hold for our Maker, our Creator, who thought of all those details for us, so we do not have to think about what's working or not, in there.

I am blessed to be very very healthy generally, but I am remembering right now that I used to be a really sickly child and that I dearly wanted to live a healthy, unhindered life. I concentrated on building strength of my form and my mind as I grew and as an adult, I could go for sometimes years with hardly an ailment. I even consciously 'beat' asthma!

The recognition that a part of my self-love 'ritual' and my faith rests seriously in considering  what I take into and keep in my body, is tremendous to me on this day.

The sense of obligation I have felt about helping people from their miseries is lifting, rapidly! To each his own, to each his own.

I disagree with self-torturing; I am opposed to disrespect of this life, of its hope and opportunities to live and serve; I am displeased with people with ingratitude, with apathy and contempt for blessings and gifts which we definitely didn't have to get. It just offends my faith! And keeping that truth in; practically attempting to hide from it, has led to my gut, the home of my expression, 'closing in' on me... toxifying, causing a risk to my longevity, seriously...

Imagine that...!

For the sake of my spirit no more immersion, no more negativity, no more cynicism, no more justifying, no more under-lying, no more disrespect of the divine... No more!

I'm onto love, or nothing at all!

I truly hope I have learned my lessons, once and for all; that my awareness is fully set this time for taking things forward. There's simply no living in dying... which is all the negative thought process can do. Kill all those beautiful possibilities in this lifetime.

So forward! On we go!!

See you there with me, hopefully.

Love to you, and all around you as well!

Friend, Sherri

P.S. A dance?

When were you last completely dependent on someone?

Posted on Jan 21st, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 21, 2009:

It's been a while; indeed it might be never!

I've been known to be self-sufficient from so small that my mother didn't feel she had to attend too closely to me after toddler age. I even chose my secondary school, all my subjects for school etc...

Into my teens my esteemed grandmother would take care of my physical matters like cooking and laundry, etc. But by 16 I had decided to relieve her of so much of this work, so I traded places with her on much of these tasks because I felt she had done enough already, frankly. She was probably the only person I felt strongly dependent on in my lifetime, and in fact, I didn't feel this was necessarily a healthy thing, so I took conscious actions to release that attachment over time.

It is interesting that on that decision we developed such a free flowing and openly generous and sharing relationship, that went on for many, many years and even now that she has passed, I still feel her 'with' me. We got 'connected' rather than 'attached', which feels somehow different :)

I would have to say that if I am dependent on anything it isn't a someone... No, more on the belief that I can find the strength I would need if ever I am faced with a challenging situation; any situation. And that strength is resident in me.

Peace and blessings to all friends everywhere.

Those birds out there singing, the wind blowing through the trees, the ocean moving and alive in its calmness, there in the distance... just the knowledge that this is real; this is THE reality, gives me this peace...

Peace to you this beautiful day!

Where do you feel most free?

Posted on Jan 23rd, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 23, 2009:

When expressing, be it through writing, sketching, dancing, smiling, sharing affection, giggling, laughing...

It is something about permission to show feelings that gives me a true sense of freedom. There's some kind of an unwritten rule somewhere, that we are supposed to be stoical and not be consumed with emotions; something like that...!

But in fact I feel inhibited when I feel as if showing my true self, what's going on in me, how I'm affected, right at the same time it's occurring, is a problem for people.

I find that I feel more free flow when I'm in the presence of people who can laugh and feel pain and emotions like sadness and anger and humour and irony, and the like. I NEVER want to be emotionally stifled - which often I call constipated - in my lifetime. I feel it is the true death!

Loving the life that I'm in.

Peace always,

Sherrilene

Peace

Chinese New Year & Solar Eclipse... The Possibilities!

Posted on Jan 24th, 2009 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene

You guys ready for Chinese New Year?

I know precious little about astrology; I’m just a very good reader. But I’m finding that it’s taking more precedence for making sense of things than anything else that I’m seeing on the news.

Apart from there being a Solar Eclipse next week, it’s also going to be the beginning of the Chinese New Year, in particular the year of the Ox. If you’ve never done your Chinese Horoscope, it might be a fun thing to try it out and see if the year ahead looks like one you’ll look forward to… or at least to chuckle at its total off-ness in a year to come! J

Take at look at this link and find your year to come: http://shine.yahoo.com/page/2009-chinese-horoscope/

Annular Eclipse

 

Now, about the Solar Eclipse that’s coming, Jonathan Cainer, my Sun Sign ‘expert’ [apart from Christopher Witecki www.soulgarden.tv] is predicting this:

Your Week Ahead

A glorious solar eclipse takes place this week. It's not visible from here... but we'll still feel the influence. Here comes a chance to wipe the slate clean and begin again. If there's a resolution that you're keen to keep up or a promise you've been finding it hard to keep, here's a chance to renew that vow and be successful with it. And, whilst I make no absolute promises, it may just be the case this week that, rather than find the solution to a problem, some of us find that the problems themselves have gone away of their own accord!

Cainer is based in the UK.

Chris in the U.S. at Soulgarden is pretty positive about it as well.

Let us see, then!

Happy New Year!

Sherrilene
