Is It Me? Is It You? or Is It Memorex?

Last week I had the opportunity to experience an extreme energy in my body for one full day and half the next. My mind wanted to label it anxiety attack, not knowing what else to call it. Looking at all that was going on in my world and the lives of many close to me, I could gather evidence to support this theory. I thought "maybe I'm being gifted with anxiety so I can have empathy with them."

Later, I thought "or, maybe I've been gifted empathy, which is causing me to experience the anxiety of those around me", thinking empathy was something I may have been lacking.

I did not like this feeling. I did not make it right or wrong, good or bad, I just stayed with it, flowed with it, was fascinated by it. In the safe place that is my Women's Empowerment Group, I powerfully spoke what was on my mind via email. Around the house, I kept my mouth shut, afraid of what might come out of it.

The next day I checked in with Daniele Devoe, reader/healer at the Higher Self. I asked her which interpretation was correct? She said - neither one! Daniele said I was experiencing a shift, an energetic/vibrational shift.

So, when have you made your feelings all about you, or all about them, when actually it was just - what it was? This time, it wasn't me, and it wasn't them, it just was what it was.

February - Where have all the resolutions gone?

Typically, many resolutions have bit the dust, poofed into thin air, as if they never existed. But this is not true for us, is it? We know they are alive and just waiting for a little attention. Pick them up, dust them off and do a little review. Where are you in this intention? Maybe you made a little progress and forgot, or gave up - too hard.

Don't make it so hard! Baby-steps! Lay out a plan to help ensure that you can stick to it. If your dream, your intention, is big enough it is worth the journey. Don't let it go just because you became distracted or disapointed.

This is an excellent time to reflect: How many times have I attempted this and failed? Do I really want it? These questions will lead to more questions and give you the opportunity to dig a little deeper, uncover some old issues that need a good look, a touch, a thank you, and a toss out the door.

We often don't truly recognize the progress we've made in the shadow of what we didn't do. Congratulate yourself for these! Celebrate them!

For those of you who simply forgot what you wanted, may I suggest - Post Its!
