Could it be This is True?



"The big picture is this: you are loved, it's all working out, there are hundreds of reasons why everything happens....it simply gives the mind peace to know why.  If it helps, consider that what you think you know is one kaj-illionth of the big picture.  Relax." ~Jennifer Hough 

Hey there friends,

Currently we are engaged in what I thought was a project  to build 2 new websites.  I thought the project was all about the usual "business evolutionary expansive sharing the message" kinda stuff.  Ha!  The journey of this project has been nothing less than astoundingly eye opening......I almost forgot it was about a website!

Your flow:  This is just some of what we've learned during the project: the knowing that you can trust another human being to actually work through even the hardest to talk about issues in life, that harmony is always possible when you are wiling to be vulnerable, that being indirect does not do anyone any favours, that love is all there is.....and separation & judgment is just the ego's way of preserving itself, that leadership sometimes means being willing to let go of everything you think and love to stay congruent.........and when you do, the 'or better' inevitably comes back to you!

Let Go of the Oars: Dive into whatever you do with abandon.  Love, work, friends, play....oh and it's all play when you dive in.  You have a huge opportunity to participate in a passionate expansive journey, and surrender to the not knowing.  Does it require faith?  Nahhh, just a little courage, until you find out life was never out to get you.......it was there to serve you all along.  Do your best........ and just enjoy the unfolding wonder of your personal juicy Big Picture.   


Are you open to the idea that what you are going through is about something much bigger than what you see?  Combine that with the fact that the Universe loves you.......and I think it all adds up to a little more peace maybe......ya think?

Love is Love is Love

"Love is love is love...it is not circumstantial or dependent on any aspect of the other. It is its own entity with it's own life. Let it live you!" ~Jennifer Hough



Hey there friends,

We are only human after all, and what a magnificent thing that is.  When love is present, there is no refuting it.  Oh, sure, the mind can argue with it, and the heart always knows.

Your flow:  What can slow the experience of love in your life?  Well, contemplating the other person... Looking for rational reasons for their 'incompatiability'...  Thinking you 'know' what is right for you. 

Let Go of the Oars:  Let life bring you the answers, morph the situations, and deliver you the conversations.  Love not only moves mountains, it moves blocks, moves Universe's and most certainly will move life in the direction of fluidity.  No need for patience.  Let it percolate and expect the inevitable.

Life loves you unconditionally........catch up!!

The Purpose of Life is a Cab Ride with an Angel




 "Nothing is as it seems.  The mind wants to have it all make sense and come to conclusions so we can feel supposed safety.  When we stay open, we constantly are reminded that only love surrounds us, the rest is illusion.  Miracles really are 'normals'." ~Jennifer Hough


Hey there friends,


England is a magical place.  Every day, I am reminded of the degree to which the Universe has my back in ways that just humble me deeply and bring a smile to my face.  One such event, was an astounding 10 minute cab ride with Mick whose daughter died in March this year......though I suspect she is not the only angel.  (his full name was Michael of course, what else would it be?)


Your flow - I jumped in a cab with a driver who seemed to be fairly jolly and straight forward in nature....Mick.  We didn't say much at first, then I asked him who was in the heart framed picture in his rear view mirror.  He said it was of Rose and Millie, his two daughters.  Rosie passed on in March, he explained, and yet you could tell from his words that she had inspired him tremendously.  In fact, he explained that she was not supposed to live and through a series of miracles that he and his girlfriend had been blessed entirely by her life, and the miracles abounded even in her passing years later.  He said a few things that I will never forget:


1. That you can be happy and sad at the same time.......it's okay


2. You can't really keep up with God/the Universe, unless you give the wisdom away


3. If you can bless a stranger, do.........(and he did)


Let Go of the Oars – We can get caught up in the minutia of every day, and forget that angels are all around us.  They bless us all the time, if we are present enough to let the blessing in.  Thank you Mick, Rosie and Millie for blessing me in a magical cab ride from Heaven.


Are you willing to see some angels around you today?  Even the ones you think aren't?

Just in Case You were Worried




"Whether you involve yourself or not, life is still offering you its grace.  What is in the highest good for all is inevitable, it just may take a little longer to see if you attempt to stay in control.  Enjoy the unfoldment, instead of trying so hard to orchestrate it." ~Jennifer Hough
 

Hey there friends,



Grace abounds.  Someone asked me recently what my definition of grace was.....and I could only think of examples: sunset colours, 98% of my body operating without me, breathing, the unconditional love of a pet, that trees breathe out what we breathe in and vice versa........


Your flow - What if all we have ever wanted or needed is and always has been in front of us (even if it comes in perceptively funny packages)?......that is grace.  For the most part, what gets in the way is our ego's judgment of what life presents us.  Do we ask: Why would we get in the way of grace?  or perhaps better: How can we find our effortless flow more?


Let Go of the Oars – The cool thing is, even if we do judge, the love of the Universe trumps the ego.....so don't worry, you will always be guided back on track.....it's just when we go kicking and screaming,  the journey might not seem so pretty.  Let go of the oars, the river is already taking you.......enjoy.....dance with it....engage your love affair with life.
 
When 30-60 trillion cells can talk to each other without your involvement, maybe that kind of flow might be available in all areas of life? Maybe it's happening right now?  Maybe life loves you so much it doesn't matter that sometimes you don't notice?  Maybe it's all much simpler than we make it?  I'm just saying!......

Ahhhhh.....Judgment




"Looking for those around you (and yourself) to be 'perfect',  so that you can feel safe, can easily lead to judgment.   If you want to find freedom, make your life about being fundamentally happy, instead of safe.  Second,  if you are willing to look for evidence of your & their willingness to find deeper understanding, then compassion will replace judgment."
~Jennifer Hough



Hey there friends,


To expect those around you to be perfect, is generally a symptom that you likely do that to yourself as well.  Let me ask you..... according to whose definition of perfect is your safety or happiness truly dependent on everything being a certain way?  Can you make your life about something other than getting it perfect, or having someone else get it right?


Your flow -  When someone else judges you, remember, it's not yours.....it started over there.  All that matters is congruence with your own heart.  You may or may not need to take responsibility for a mess......learn, grow, accept and move on........they may not.  Big deal.  Be the change.


Let Go of the Oars – I wonder what would happen in the world if we took all the energy we used to avoid judgment, judge, get it right, validate ourselves or feel safe and used it to look for evidence of beauty, find compassion for things that are sub-optimal, search for signs of love, and laugh at our wonderful humanness?  World peace?  I'm just saying.....................


Thanks for not judging me, as I took a 2 week break.....did you miss me?......
