Keeping Your "Candle Lit" During the Holidays

Are you letting others blow out your flame? How can you keep it lit. Here are some tips. Last month I poured my heart out to anyone who would listen, saying how important it is that I don’t let my candle burn out (last month's article below). The candle I’m referring to is my life force – the energy that sustains me, that IS me. No matter how much I care, no one and nothing is worth getting upset over. The many responses I received showed that the message was well received, and that my readers learned from the example.

Horror films abound. Homes and businesses decorate to haunt us. Add this to the daunting economic conditions and it seems the perfect time to talk about fear and how to handle it. What is fear?

You're Just Not Worth It

Sorry, you’re just not worth it. It’s nothing personal. I’d say this to anyone. I do love you and don't blame you at all. Still, no matter what you do or say, you’re not worth me getting upset or hurt over. You see, like you I have a light that burns within me. It is fueled by my essence. When I’m happy and at peace my light burns brightly. I am strong. My light also radiates to others and it spreads. The strength of my flame is dependent upon my level of joy. It grows stronger the more I love and the more I enjoy. I work hard to grow this flame.

Here are some tips to keep yourself on target without beating yourself up while still finding time to enjoy, sleep, eat . . . In my blog (www.theawarenessinitiative.com/blog) on 7/30/09 I discuss the expression: “Don’t push the river.” Below is a recap of that blog with some time management suggestions to help you to “swim” more effectively.

What Love Isn't

We’ve been misled. Seriously misinformed where love is conce ed. Most of us have been taught that in order to love we need to share our hearts – give our heart to someone else. In other words, someone comes along and we “fall” for that person. Our heart opens, we yearn, we court and then, if everything works out, we share. At this point we have to let the person into our heart and we go into their heart. Now we each have a part of our heart sort of disconnected, and we’re housing a piece of another’s. This is how we often view love. Does this sound right?

Finding Joy

Lately I’ve noticed a behavioral trend occurring among clients, my friends and myself. We are recognizing the importance that joy plays life. The problem for many of us is that after being workaholics and Super moms for years, we don’t know what real joy is – or how to find it. I have always ...

The Beauty of Imperfection

Being a lifetime perfectionist, it’s taken a lot of bumps and turns in the road to accept the perceived imperfections within myself and in life. I’ve learned that it’s the imperfect qualities that often set us apart from the pack, define who we are and teach us. Laughing at my mistakes is a ...

"Down Time" is Remarkably Uplifting

I recently returned from an 11-day vacation in Costa Rica with my husband. This was a real vacation. No computers. No cell phones. No plans for spiritual or work retreats. There was no one to meet and nothing to do but play for 11 days. I was so looking forward to it that I wasn’t expecting what ...

Your Life is What You Focus On

Yesterday I was working in my office when a truck pulled up behind my home. It parked in front of my garage and directly in front of the “no parking” sign, blocking my exit. This happens frequently at my place, when workers and delivery people in the neighborhood use my drive as a parking and ...

One Block at a Time

Today, playing Sudoku, I was again reminded that life’s problems often look worse than they really are, and all that needs to be done is take one step at a time. If you’re not familiar with Sudoku, it’s a number game played on a grid similar to a crossword puzzle. I play, because I’m told that ...

You’d think that after skiing for over 46 years I’d stop being afraid when I hit a rough spot. But no, skiing in Utah I noticed the old feeling loomed over me like a dense cloud when I hit some difficult terrain. Why I’d put up with this feeling for so long I can’t ...

Saying Goodbye to the Jones'

I didn’t realize that it would be so difficult saying “good-bye”. For years I’ve been “Keeping up with the Jones” without realizing it. I thought my old “hippy”, back-to-nature values were still in tact. I didn’t realize that I depended upon the Jones’ as mileposts – people to look up to and ...

Using Fear

You’d think that after skiing for over 46 years I’d stop being afraid when I hit a rough spot. But no, skiing in Utah I noticed the old feeling loomed over me like a dense cloud when I hit some difficult terrain. Why I’d put up with this feeling for so long I can’t explain. My pattern was to try to ignore it and ski anyway, knowing it would go away once I got down the mountain. I guess I felt that getting down though in fear was an accomplishment &#821
