Creating Habits that Support Your Life

A dear friend passed this on to me and I tweaked it just a bit to reflect my thoughts and wanted to pass it along.  Enjoy!

Life has enough obstacles and challenges by itself that we don’t have to make it harder by adding a bad attitude or a stupid decision (ok, I know that SOMETIMES we are going to do that just because we’re human!) BUT, I believe we really can make it easier on ourselves. We can prepare ourselves for a successful day, a wonderful life, by setting up patterns and habits that support the life we want! 

A few love poems for all you lovers

Here are a few love poems I have written while pining for love, recovering from a broken heart, or awakened by my muse in the midst of love’s good times – hopefully there will be something you can relate to!  Love and Peace and Happy Valentine’s Day! Sandy

Sharing an “Inescapable Destiny”

Greetings from Saturday Soul.  I have a special poem I want to share with everyone that was written by Scott Mitchell at http://fromscott.wordpress.com/.  This poem really touched my heart and struck a note within me on the sweet passion of love that we all long for.  Enjoy and please check out his other poems on his site.   Love and Peace!  Sandy

Inescapable Destiny

By Scott Mitchell

A nomadic voyage, a heart’s quest
Quiet and alone were an attractive option
But your music makes me dance
Your beauty induced a trance
What do I have to offer, but this heart
I could swim the sea to you
I can drown
or take this love to my last breath

The warmth while holding you, oh….
creates an infinite confirmation
My moist eyes looking into yours are not sad,
no…
I’m jubilant and thankful
You held resilient to your promise
and gave all that you are
I was lost and you restored me

In flight to Chicago

Flying to Chicago

I love the feeling of taking off

Kinda helpless

You just let go of all control

To feel the speed in your muscles

And the roar of the engine in your head

All that force

Gently tacks you to the back of your seat

You simply have to submit

To the gravity upon your body

Not to worry

You don’t do anything – just let go

To another’s control

Trusting

Feeling everything in your body

Knowing there is nothin you can do

But just be

love irrelevancy

Oh dear
you talk about love
but do you even know the meaning?
Do you know what it is to connect so totally to someone else
that you become irrelevant?

a safer shore

This is my journey, I can’t deflect it.  It moves across the waters without a reason, except for love.  It crosses each channel with grace and beauty like fragile dappled’ beats breathing into the water – Life.  Joy.  Ecstasy.  Want.  Passion.  Pursuit.  The need to arrive at a destination is preempted by the flow of happiness guiding me toward a safe shore.

Thank you 2011

How do you say “thank you”?
Thank you to love that has brought me unbelievable pain
Thank you pain for teaching me how to navigate circumstances with my mind
Thank you to my mind for being strong, clear,
resilient, and ever curious about how things work
Thank you for how things work, no matter how disastrous my life may look, things always seem to work out for my good.

Thank you for love that has brought me unspeakable joy
Thank you joy for transforming my life with just a simple change in attitude
Thank you  change of attitude for helping me remap my own feelings so that I experience honesty and awareness in my life today
Thank you today for giving me NOW, the moment I live, the opportunity to love, learn, explore, play and work, and for every imaginable opportunity that life holds
Thank you opportunity, thank you for always being there
Your voice is often soft and quiet, and many times you are not in the light where I can see you, but if I pay attention, you are always there!

Decent into me

Luminarie laid out like a Rosary
Winding like a ribbon
Binding the girl
to his heart
flowing
tasseling along Aphrodite’s heels
reeling like a circus wheel

I use to pretend in front of the mirror

The voice of the chipmunk went to someone else. The lover announced he was marrying another. The alien wasn’t worth fighting for. But the sun is out, and she’s still an actress.

Were you theatrical as a child?

Somewhat. I would put my earphones on and sing along to soundtracks of musicals like Les Misérables. I’d act it out in the mirror and cry.

Carey, Carey, Quite Contray

Just Say NO, but….

 

NO is ok with me, just don’t tell me NO slow!

My Business coach, Michael Tannery of Tannery Wealth Advisors, said this to me recently and I couldn’t let it go!  How often have you been involved in a project, job, or relationship that wasted more time than you really had all because someone didn’t tell you no up front.  Think about it!
