Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. — Anaïs Nin
We all live in a time of great change; how we choose to be, choose to relate and choose to take action in response to change around us determines our experience. When we invite CHANGE we believe in consciously creating our relationship to change, inviting the experience we desire deep in our hearts, from the essence of our being.In our time, more and more of us are awakening to a quickening call toward a greater meaning and a satisfaction than we have experienced in our lives so far. We are looking deeper into our personal experiences and expecting more from our professional and community lives than just financial reward and status. We have a sense that fulfillment and joy generate from something more intrinsic. We seek answers in workshops, books and self-help programs… and still we sense there is something more for the process of becoming all that we dream to be.
There may be times when all the information available to you does not help you make a choice one way or the other. This is when it is especially important to make choices based on their alignment with our goals and ideals. When we sit with our questions in meditation, we can connect to the universe, which has the greatest amount of information possible. As we learn to understand our inner guidance, we can check in any time of the day, whether we are in silence or in the middle of a boardroom. We can then use our intuition and the wisdom of our hearts to direct us properly, today and every day.
Happy Cinco de Mayo: My Guacamole Recipe

Living in Texas everyone celebrates Cinco de Mayo with lots of Tex/Mex fixings and even though we live in Florida now we still mark the day with yummy enchiladas and Margaritas….and it's always fun to anticipate the delicious, heart-healthy dip that is guacamole to start the meal off. My favorite recipe comes from a fabulous friend of mine. It's the perfect combination of lime-y tang and smooth avocado, fresh cilantro (my husband loves this herb) and warm chiles. And ooh, that little zing from tiny diced tomatoes. Mmmmm, guac.... I hope you Enjoy!
Guacamole
3 ripe avocados, about 6 oz. each
3/4 c. finely diced white onion
3/4 c. diced red plum tomatoes
2-3 T finely chopped serrano chiles (jalapeno or other chiles may be substituted)
1/2 c. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 T freshly squeezed lime juice
2 t coarse salt, to taste
Directions: 1. Cut each avocado in half and remove the pit. Cut the halves in half and carefully peel off the black skin. 2. Cut the quarters into chunks and place in a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and stir in the onion, tomatoes, chiles, and cilantro. 3. Season the mixture with lime juice and salt. Keep covered with plastic wrap pressed against the surface of the guacamole until ready to serve. 4. Serve with your favorite chips…Happy 5/5, amigos…

Hope


I see Spring as a season of hope...farmers planting seeds...new life in the buds of the trees and all the little ones being born...You see, hope is actually something we create. It's not something that magically appears from an outside source. We each have within us the capacity to generate hope. It's critical that we be absolutely intentional about nurturing hope in our lives and the lives of our children.

My Angel Card for March 31,2009

Today as I finish my meditation time I am listening to the rain here in Florida and I reached for my angel cards by Doreen Virtue...My mind is clear and I call in my guardian angels and ask what is the message for me today...I shuffled and I pulled out Archangel Michael...His message is "I am with you, giving you the courage to make life changes that will help you work on your Divine life purpose." This is such a great card for me today because I have been working this morning on my coaching with Reiki and readings and writing for inspiring others in finding themselves and coming into abundance. I need to maitain my faith in that I am doing the right thing and by following my angels guidance I will do my heart and soul's work...so I am living in an abundant life.

A lesson in life

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks your heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

The Sping Equinox


This is the week of the Spring Equinox, when the Sun moves into the sign of Aries on March 20. It 's the beginning of a new cycle and marks the start of spring. Yeah!!! I love to get out in the garden and plant and start a new adventure. So of course The Sun in Aries is associated with a powerful urge to create. If you think of the energy a seed needs to crack open and germinate, and to become who it is....you will get an idea of the power that is available at this time. Wherever the sign of Aries is in your chart will be a place of rebirth and renewal. You will feel an enthusiastic desire to get moving despite obstacles. To find out how this new cycle will affect you, look at your birthchart and see which house Aries is in your chart...If you do not have one call me to get you astrolical birthchart for all the information you need in this new season!
