Sometimes breaks in activity take you by surprise. Sometimes the expected gets lost in the background of life. Sometimes we emerge confused about how so much time has passed, so much water has flowed, so many moons have risen.
Then, it’s time to remember … Now is the only moment we can be certain of. And, what is showing up in this very special present moment is worthy of our full attention.
Be amazed … BE amazing!
“From small beginnings come great things.”
Proverb
We may remember our greatest accomplishments as beginning with a leap of faith or a magical synchronicity. But before the leap or the magic, there was surely a moment of inner clarity and passionate caring, an intentionality that placed our foot on the path. And with a dose of inner courage we consciously took the smallest, first step.
So continue to follow your heart, be guided by your inner focus, and make a small beginning toward amazingly great things.
When you’re facing a brick wall, feeling stuck, overwhelmed and ohhhh, just a wee bit frustrated, seems advice can come from just about every direction. And sometimes there’s such an open fire-hose flow of possibility offered that looking at that brick wall feels like a respite, a retreat, a welcome recess. And you know what that means. Nothing. NO thing is happening. And that can be exactly what you need … for a while.
Our responsibility is to make sense of all the potential that sits right within our reach. To focus in on what resonates with who we are deep in our center. To shut out the noisy distraction of others’ helpful perspective and to listen respectfully to our inside voice.
Take time today with whatever you are facing to appreciate who you are, to focus on where you are heading and to reconnect with your personal conviction. You’ll be happy you did.
Always be amazed and amazing.

If you’re feeling just a little bit in a rut (or you find yourself in a rut so deep you can’t even see up over the edge) this posting is for you. I expect your everyday routine, the one that’s worked so well in the past just isn’t moving you forward to what you want to express or manifest NOW.
When you are in so deep how do you shake things up and create a new reality for yourself? Thinking it, setting intention, wishing it simply isn’t enough. I believe we need to embody the willingness for something new to emerge.
I suggest changing one or two or even three things about your morning routine. Yep, I know, this is the hardest part of the day to influence. A lot of what we are doing is impacted by set schedules like work and the people with whom we share our lives. So here’s a simple practice to do:
1. First waking breath, remember today is a new day and you are going to shake up your familiar routine. Tip: I like to think about this the night before particularly if I need to get anything ready ahead of time. As I fall asleep, I mentally go through the steps I will take the next morning so I’m ready.
2. As you are waking, take a few moments to lie quietly in bed. Shift your attention and energy onto your intention for what you want to express today.
3. Now, shake it up!. Softly, gently, and consciously choose to do something new and different (even doing things in a different order can make a big difference).
Try it for a week or two and notice what happens. Your days will surely unfold in surprising ways.
Be amazed and amazing!

This time of year is the Mother of all Distraction. Spring Fever. You know this is true. We don’t say winter fever or summer fever or autumn fever – even if one of these seasons is your favorite.
Nope. Spring Fever has the distinction of calling our hearts and our attention from anything serious, nose to the grindstone, gotta’ get that stuff D-U-N done!
The new green growth, flowers popping, birds a-singing wakes up our hearts … surrounds us with the joy of life … opens arms of warmth and love to call us to remember just why we are here.
So while I’m usually striving to stay on purpose and task (not always very successfully I should add), my advice: Welcome Distraction! I love the Distraction of Springtime.
Distraction has the power to slow me down. It calls me to be fully present. I feel more awake and alive. I breathe in the bright sunshine and feel happy, happy, happy down to my core. I am able to assess if all the stuff I’ve been getting done, all the multi tasking, all the getting-down-on-myself for not doing more has been truly serving me and my greater purpose and vision.
And you know what? Distraction may be just what I needed to get myself back on purpose, back to my best potential. Amazed and Amazing.
What’s been distracting you? What’s the message you’ve been waiting to hear?
Okay … I got a little waylaid with the busy-ness of life. So here, with no further delay is the Sunday Addition for this week. We’ve entered into the Aries gate of awareness, a fire sign, so I’ve included some bright and glowing fire mandalas.
Shine on my friends … radiate right from YOUR center!
So amazing.
