Greetings Creators!

Hey, why don’t you make yourself a nice cup of tea and take a moment with me?

I don’t know about you but November was WILD and Intense for me. It seemed this way for many people.

I experienced the sudden loss of a dear friend, my cat had one of her legs amputated, my dog got sick and my mother-in-law had heart surgery at age 81.

All these things have encouraged me to give myself plenty of time and space in stillness to integrate everything that has been happening.

I’ve been allowing stillness on a whole new level. Even though my mind wants to distract me. I’m holding steady and integrating at my own pace with my breath.

The opportunity to practice presence with grief has been a blessing that continues to unravel.

One of many gifts the practice of Presence brought this month was a visitation from a friend who had crossed to spirit in August and came to let me know his physical form was gone but he is dancing and joyful. I didn’t know he had died until this visitation. He was a Master of Presence in Life and he taught me a lot about the Power of Now.

I have also had many signs from my friend Marina and I know she has her new journey now. It’s still difficult to understand why a young mother of 4 had to go so suddenly but I accept there are things I may never know or understand. I just focus on what she taught me.

I know 100% my conscious breath and awareness enables me to make these connections. It is the door to my own divine essence and this unites me with Everything.

Bringing conscious awareness to my every day has been life changing.

I have been able to bring this practice to a wide range of emotions and experiences.

With conscious awareness I experience love, happiness, success, anger, guilt, resentment, pain, fear, death and so much more completely differently.

The ability to observe my own mind and not attach to it on a regular basis has enabled me to suffer much less.

You don’t wake up, become enlightened and stay that way! NOPE! Awakening is a Moment to Moment, life long practice.

The good news is that it can be applied at any moment!

To Be right here, right now is not something we do naturally. We are so habitual in being mentally in the past or future. Constantly feeding the mind chatter by engaging with the internal dialogue.

I’m telling you that we miss out on so much stuff when we don’t embrace what is Now. If we are not Present we totally miss the boat on so many possibilities and potentials.

So, I’m taking my lesson ‘‘Be Right Here, Right Now’’ into December with me and hope it inspires you.
