When You're Not Sure How

soul_banner.jpg

"If we waited for the mind to know 'how' to do everything before we did it.......there would be no room for miracles.  What if the goal is to follow your heart, take the first step, and let the entire Universe orchestrate the symphony of 'hows' you came here to enjoy? " ~Jennifer Hough 


Hey there friends,


A while ago, I was sitting in a restaurant in Bimini minding my own business.  I had a powerful connection with Natalia, the waitress.  For some reason out of my mouth came "Natalia, what do you think about doing an event for the women of Bimini to empower, uplift and connect?", and she said "that is the best thing I've heard in a long time, can I help you?".  I had no idea how it was going to happen......keep reading though, there is so much grace in this story....it will open your heart wide! 


Your flow:   The next day I was at the 'straw market' and I talked to a woman named Micheline, who I found out is the head of the women's group for the Haitian Church.  Then she told me that she met 3 of my friends that day (go figure, the chances were pretty slim of that!).  She asked me "how can I help you bring women together", and I said how about this Monday, and she said "our women's group has a meeting already on Monday, can you come and speak?".  Yes yes yes!!!!!


Let Go of the Oars: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED - All 6 Women from our Bimini group here, said that this was the most profound experience of their trip.  The night with the Haitian women of Bimini was absolute magic.  There was one woman from Nassau as well.  Haitian women feel mis-understood and on the outside, and the Nassuvian woman explained she felt the same way.  We partnered up, and each woman from Bimini shared with a woman from somewhere else........and we realized we are all the same.  We cried, we laughed, we opened our hearts.........the Pastor's wife was there and explained to the pastor (the next day) what happened.  We saw him the next day  (by Divine intervention), and he told us that it was life changing ....and we told him for us, it was also life changing.  He said that the church had planted the seeds, God had shone the light, and that our message was the beautiful rain that helped the seeds to grow.


Let go of figuring out 'how' in your life.........allow Creation to live through you, and what shows up might be dolphins, it might be rain and it might be friendships that last a lifetime.......you can guarantee it will be worth the 'not knowing'. 


What a blessing that we are so taken care of by all of the Universe, when we simply say YES......(insert sigh of relief here)

Simplicity and Ease

soul_banner.jpg

"When we let go of the search, we see it was always right there.  If we are all Divine children of Creation, it would only make sense that it is just that simple...... " ~Jennifer Hough 


Hey there friends,


Consider that Creation is constantly delivering the path, the clarity and the answers....and the harder we work, the less we see it.  It's humbling to know how little we need to know about life, to actually participate in the expanding miracles. Today I was looking to be of assistance with a project to go to Africa....and the answer showed up simply by writing one word......  The word was yes.


Your flow: What if life is always, and was always bringing to us what is in the highest good for all?  What if our job is simply to be present enough to engage what shows up?   What if judgment is just the ego's way of taking us out of simplicity and keeping itself alive?


Let Go of the Oars: Of course the Universe would have to re-arrange things to give us the illusion that it isn't right there all the time.....and when we are tired of needing to justify our existence with effort, we'll simply enjoy the dance.  Do you give?  Uncle?


I love connecting with you.....it's definitely a heart's call.

Feeling Out of Sync and Getting Back in

soul_banner.jpg

"Life always has your back, miracles always abound, and you are always loved.  It's just whether you want to keep doing it your way or not.  The Universe works in simple cosmic Divine flow, your head works in 'same old, same old' flow.....I'm just saying." ~Jennifer Hough 

Hey there friends,

What if it's all coming to you?  What if your job is simply to get out of the way, and enjoy the journey.  Sometimes we spend time trying to strategize, do it our way, do it the way the books, community, culture or courses say....and that involves the head.  Your heart is speaking to you in every moment, and transcends anyone else's philosophy, because it speaks the language of the present.  It is sooooo simple to live this way.

Your flow:   In every moment, consciousness is calling you to something. The mind has lots of rationales why you can't do that.....for me it's often time.....and that I make things seem more complicated than they are.  The more I simply let go of the judgment of what life keeps bringing me, the more easy it all gets.  Oh sure, there's stuff to do, and I find people I love to do that with....more importantly, we find each other.

Let Go of the Oars: All I know is what is in front of me right now today....and I have some ideas about the future.  Recently decided to entirely let life facilitate me, and simply hold my ideas about the future losely, so that 'what's in the highest good for all' can show up.  It's usually a lot more filled with wonder, turns out better, and is drastically simplified when I live that way. 

What a blessing that we are so taken care of by all of the Universe, when we simply say YES......(insert sigh of relief here)

Shift Happens...



"The beauty of life is that you can simply experience the shift, instead of struggling to have one.  You might have to embrace the idea that you are being supported by an omnipotent Universe and give up that you are on your own."  ~ Jennifer Hough


To sign up for SOUL Mail 4-free.....simply go here


Hey there friends,


Have you ever noticed that children seem to catch onto things really quickly because they don't complicate life by trying to figure it out first?  What if we followed our instincts.....our connection to Life/Creation/The Universe and disengaged our learned reactions and unproductive thoughts just like children?


SOUL Whispers - On some level, we all know exactly who we are.... we all know we can do anything...and we all have compassion for our fellow man.  In other words, we were all 3-years old once. 


Let Go of the Oars - As my friend Lois says, "Shift happens!".   Transcend the mind's judgement of "how", "why" or "when"..... and it happens more enjoyably and seemingly more quickly!


The wide awakening says you don't have to go through steps to wake up..... you can simply experience it effortlessly....cool hunh?   That's what we're doing together here at SOUL!

Looking for Signs

soul_banner.jpg


"If you spend your life looking for signs, you will miss out on dancing with the miracles that surround you.  There is no more time to wait for signs...you're alive, just dance." ~Jennifer Hough 


Hey there friends,


I had quite the aha in the ocean. I was alone and feeling sad.  I picked myself up and went to the ocean, to swim and play with some fish and water.  I got in at a place that I knew doesn't usually have a tonne of coral or fish, and it's still pretty and there is still lots of life there.  At first I just wanted validation that everything was going to be okay with me, and all of a sudden a beautiful school of "arrow" fish (that's what I call 'em, because the lines on them point forward) came by.....and these fish seemed to be quite friendly and stayed close.  Suddenly I didn't feel so alone.


Your flow:   I realized very quickly that if I spent my time looking for signs and validation, that I would miss out on the beautiful blossoming miracle.  I don't know if the fish came up with the idea, or I did.....but all of a sudden I felt that they were gonna show me that we were in 'communication'.  So I asked them to bring me to something amazing, that I could not deny because it was soooooo extra-ordinary...and they 'pointed' at something alright, as we took a sharp left as soon as I asked.........


They pointed directly to a school of thousands of batefish right in front of my face, who swam all around me in a donut as my "pointer" friends swam away.  Thanks friends......


Let Go of the Oars: We are alive....do we really need to keep getting proof of our blessed nature?  We are part of life and nature....seeing if we can trust life, is really seeing if we can trust ourselves.  We didn't come here to look for a sign, we came here dance with all that life is offering us.  One person's sign is another's experience in the adventure in wonderland.


You're alive, I think it's a sign!

The Wide Ewakenings Message #1 Not Knowing - Awakening to the 'not knowing' .


In a walk through the enchanted forest, I remember once "getting lost" because my mind didn't know where I was. It was a true awakening to discover that on a level beyond my mind, I did indeed know. What if our lives could be lived in that Miracle Zone, beyond what the mind knows?

Ego Shmego




"Complexity only happens when we hesitate and contemplate the grace of what is already presenting clearly before us.  It's when our ego tries to find the 'right way' that we slow our flow.  We are being facilitated by life at a pace like never before, it's time to let go of doing it 'our way'." ~Jennifer Hough
 


Hey there friends,


This might have happened to you where your technology pooches when you've got a lot of energy moving.  It seems that in our office, our computers are perfect reflections of how our energy is flowing.  Today, we had a lot of internet challenges.  On, off, on, off all day long.  Now in my past, I would have complicated it.  I would have worked hard to fix it, find a place in the Universe that had a connection (going so far as to drive there), and wrestled it to the ground, to get the end result that my 'personality' wanted.  I don't do that anymore........


Your flow - Oh, it happens with our kids, in relationships, with our weight and more.....  That is how we complicate life....we start thinking we know the answers.  Ha!  Today, what I did, is went for a walk, made lots of phone calls to people I love, had fun walking in the woods with the dog......everything but be online.  I did talk to the techs at 'Bell-Canada' without resolution.....until this latest one I called, who was awesome - and provided me with answers about things I've been looking for for a year!  I just assumed that what was going on was perfect, took action, did other stuff, and let Creation work out the details and delivered the usual "or better" response!


Let Go of the Oars – These days, the majority of what happens to us, is a result of the Universe's response to our 'greater knowing', which is beyond intentions.  So judging what comes into our experience is kinda pointless.  It's not time to judge, it's time to simply dance with all of it.  It really is so simple...it's just we don't always like what shows up.  Oh well........
  
My way is over-rated.  I love the simplicity that comes when I remember that Creation is responding always to the greater me...not my mind.  How about you?
