Picture
Day 27

The picture today is from a campground I stayed at in Asheville, NC. My favorite one so far. I love water. I am excited to be near the ocean soon! Once again I have no plan as to what I will write, so I'm just beginning. Perhaps the inspiration will come as I fill the page. Yesterday I did get out a bit but only to go for a jog then go to the store. So nothing big to report on the travel front. Just existing in this wonderful life and moving forward.

Ooh, just got a push to grab one of my favorite books... SOOOO here is what I am meant to share today...

The purpose of this existence is to learn, grow, evolve, and remember who we are. A book I've come to love "Quantum Consciousness" by Peter Smith offers 5 ways to moving forward:
  1. "Explore." It is when we seek the lessons that they will be made clear. Realize that pain is the greatest lesson of all. As Tony Robbins said, "The purpose of pain is to move us into action, not to make us suffer." Peter Smith recommends seeking from outer sources but also going within. It is in "find[ing] your hidden authenticity, this is becoming free. [...] This is about finding the deep and personal inspiration that comes from remembering who you already are. The journey toward this may involve healing initially, as you peel away layers of energies that have affected your life without you even being aware." Pain helps us go within. It grounds us, brings us to the now so that we can grow.
  2. "Be courageous." Take steps toward your dreams. Take steps toward who you truly are and live in that truth regardless of what anyone says.
  3. "Understand Your Ripple Effect." As you change your vibration to a higher state, others around you "will see the change and be inspired by you, perhaps enough to undertake their own journey."
  4. "Hold intention for a better world. Engage your creator effect to manifest something amazing and remarkable for humanity. [...] See the beauty around you."
  5. "Say NO in ever- increasing magnitude. [...] You actually have a choice and you can break patterns and conditioning by simply saying one word and carrying that through your actions. You can move past the restrictive prevailing mindsets that ooze materialism, separation and fear. As you hold the higher intention and explore your unlimited potential, you will live a life in alignment with your vision."


Oh that's good stuff. Not sure why I was prompted to share that today. Maybe it was YOU who needed it? Maybe it was me? Either way, there it is. I never know what to expect when I start writing.

The word "expectation" also popped in my head first thing this morning. My dream last night was regarding expectations that had been placed on me. But I know I have placed many on others. I apologize if you were a receiver of my unwarranted or unspoken expectations.

The problem with expectations is we don't always make them clear. We just expect people to do things for us or behave in a certain way. Unless you voice these expectations, you are bound to be disappointed because what you think is "normal" will not be the same as the next person's normal.

Silent expectations destroy relationships.

Expectations destroy self worth.

Expectations destroy joy.

Why? Because in expectation, you are looking toward something that MIGHT happen instead of living in the moment. In expectation, you have this idea of how everything should look and when that doesn't happen we feel down. We often start beating ourselves up if we don't meet expectations - we place the greatest expectations on ourselves. It's time to release and live in gratitude, love and joy instead of in expectation.

All the wonderful things happen in the now... and they're happening for you. EXPECT THAT because the Universe (God, the Divine, whatever you call the power that is all of creation) wants to give you everything you desire. To be sure that you get wonderful things, you must raise your vibration to the highest state... live joyfully and out of love... in the feeling of a dream fulfilled. Then you WILL have that dream fulfilled. It's a law. The law of attraction. Like attracts like. So if you're in the space of negativity, you'll attract negativity. If you're full of gratitude and functioning in a space of abundance, you'll attract abundance.

It works! It's crazy to believe by our human minds, but it works!

Right now I have a vision of these amazing paintings I've created so, it's time to go play. I love you all (even those I don't like. I believe that to love someone doesn't mean you condone things they've done to hurt you, or others. Liking someone does condone the actions. Liking someone means you agree with how they behave in this existence. I definitely have humans that I don't like... but I love their souls because the soul is beautiful... they've just chosen a different existence in this lifetime. So I don't like the human them). A little expansion on love and like was apparently necessary today. Perhaps someone I love but don't like is reading this? Or maybe you needed that clarity? Who knows? 🤷 I just share the message. Have a beautiful day! TTFN!

    I had a dream that I was traveling all over the world. In less than 6 months, I sold almost everything I own...bought a Toy Hauler (the "garage" is my art studio) and am now living wherever, whenever...just me, my art, and my cats.
