My Life Is A Mirror

Learning to accept and respect others is challenging for many but vital for our harmonious survival on this planet!

 In order for us to live peacefully we must learn to be more forgiving, more understanding and more patient!

Life gives back to us what we give to it so try to remember this the next time frustration rings at your door.

After all, our experiences and the people around us are mirrors so that we can learn, grow and change. When they do something or we experience something we don't like or agree with, then it is easier for us to define what it is we do want present in our lives! 

Affirm: My Life Is A Mirror. The people in my Life are really mirrors of me. This affords me the opportunity to grow and change.

Get Off Your High Horse

Strip us all down naked, rip off all our tittles, remove all of our belongings NOW who are we?

Without any of that false makeup is who you truly are!

So what are you? Who are you?

Funny? Kind? Adorable? Sweet? Peaceful? Honest? Loving? Accepting? Forgiving? Strong? 

I LOVE beautiful riches and I wish abundance in all its forms for each of us, but DO NOT believe that because your SUV is bigger than theirs that you are better than them!

Humans feel powerful when they have riches...but those of us who are truly blessed can attract riches AND have priceless things like happiness, laughter, and LOVE within them! 

Those priceless things are NOT available in ANY store! What ever you can buy are extras, but what you carry within you are truly priceless gems!!!

Just ask any person who has all the riches money can buy, they'll tell you!

Stop being distracted by the unnecessary and focus on what counts!

You are no better than me. I am no better than you! We are all the same! 

Do You Feel Safe Being Alone?

Surrounded by beautiful family and friends is a gift in itself. It is beautiful to spend time with them and share parts of our life with them and we must give thanks for this! 

But today I want to ask you how you feel when you are alone? Do you feel scared, worried or nervous? I was up north surrounded by gorgeous Mother Nature selflessly showing off her gorgeous, massive talents of creative beauty and I thought to myself, "if I were here completely alone would I feel safe"? My answer was yes. I have worked many years on myself -and I keep on working, and in my process of healing I have filled myself with great peace within. A peacefulness that allows me to feel safe inside, regardless of where I am. I strongly urge you to work on yourself and do the work needed so that you can feel safe and secure no matter where you are and no matter what your situation in Life is at the moment. 

There is no reason for you NOT to feel safe! Believe me I know what it means to curl yourself up into a ball, cry and feel scared, worried and nervous. I have fallen victim to my inner and outer situations too many times not to understand it as well as I do. So today I encourage you to keep up the self work and help yourself as best as you can, so that you may always feel safe being alone!

The reality of it is we are NEVER alone!

*** writing these posts is a great pleasure for me. I have so much within me and each blog comes through for a reason. I have noticed in my many blogs, there are times I have to repeat things over and over again. I do not question it, if it comes up than it is a clear indication that someone needs those words- sometimes that someone is me! So today's blog was about fear of being alone and for those of you who need further info, here are a few past blogs you might want to visit by going to my blog page: www.luvandlight.blogspot.com and looking through these blogs:

You Are Never Alone!!!

There Are Angels All Around Us!

MONDAY, MARCH 22, 2010

Ask An Angel!!!

What You Think Of Me Is None Of My Business

The easier path is to follow the herd, be like the others, act and think like them. This makes being accepted by others much easier. But make sure it makes you feel truly happy and fulfills you completely.  

I now have an easier time not being afraid to be who I truly am even if it means being different. 

Accepting others for how they choose to be can also be very challenging especially when we expect them to act as we wish them to act! 

But I have understood that Life isn't meant to be this way. We are meant to be different from one another so that we may learn and grow from each other. We can continue to inspire and encourage others, but each one of us has our own experiences to live through, our own personal lessons to learn, and our own unique story to ride through. So please go easy on people! Remember that they are doing their best with the knowledge they have attained so far.

Change is great and I encourage it! Embrace the fact that you can change for the better and know that even if people don't approve of your changes it doesn't necessarily mean you're wrong. 

Do the best you can with what you know and keep learning and growing! And always keep this in mind: "what you think of me is none of my business!"

Build your insides solid and strong like the roots of a 1000 year old tree!
When you work on yourself and focus on strengthening yourself from the inside, you create a solid foundation that can stand through any storm!
Weakness is a choice. Strength is a choice.
How are you inside? Flimsy and weak, or solid and strong?
Weak insides mean you will get swayed back and forth with any slight breeze, making your Life more challenging.
Just like training and working out your body, you will get stronger and stronger and feel better and better so don't ever stop working on yourself!
Build that foundation up strong and remain solid through any storm!
Luv and Light,
Daisy!

Life Is Full Of Messages, So Don't Miss Out!

I believe everything has a purpose, a reason for being there, carrying a much deeper meaning.

Signs are everywhere for us to absorb, help guide us and answer our many questions.

When our minds are too busy we can miss the signs because they are usually small and quiet.

Paying attention to what presents itself around you can hold great meaningful messages for you, so please pay attention!

Each one of us is unique, each one of us have our own questions, desires and hopes so what may be a meaningless sign for one can be a life changing message for another, so it is important to know what speaks to you, so please don't walk around blinded by your own inner chaos!

Quiet down, listen, pay attention to yourself and your surroundings!

Life is full of messages, so don't miss out!

Simple Steps

Some of us enjoy peace and quiet while others are terrified by it!

If you hate to be with your thoughts and dread the silence; if you find yourself always looking to put on some sort of white noise, back round sound or get on the phone to avoid being in complete silence, well my dear friend, that is a clear indication that something is wrong!

Avoiding your own thoughts means you are not at peace inside.

You have thoughts that bring up emotions you much rather avoid than deal with.

Okay so what to do about it?

1) Know that they are only thoughts, and thoughts can be changed.

2) Allow those feelings to come up and clarify why you feel as you do.

3) Do mental exercises to completely release, forgive and let go so that when you do think about those thoughts you feel love, forgiveness and peace -if anyone needs help with this one, email me I'll help you out

4) At night when you go to bed, list at least 5 things you are grateful for and do the same when you wake up.

I know these 4 steps don't seem like much but believe me people, fixing yourself is easier than you think. 

Remember when dealing with life- the steps are always simple and the results are always guaranteed!

Let Go

Here is an affirmation to help those of us who are still clinging to past mistakes:

"I ask that all effects of my past be undone in all directions of time and space. I now release any guilt completely. I love my true self from top to bottom, inside and out!"

Know that the past is over and done with. You are now free from old past hurts!

And as you repeat this affirmation daily all those old cob webs will clear themselves away!

Keep it up I promise you will feel better!

Keep The Lesson And Move On

Such a funny thing with humans, we like to know and feel that we are not alone. 

This is also why misery loves company. 

Most people want you to have problems because they have problems. This is comforting. And if your problems are bigger and more intense, GREAT! This makes them feel even better because now their problems don't seem so bad! So in reality it is simply the fear of feeling alone and wondering where you went wrong, so knowing that there are others makes some feel better.

Problems are situations and experiences that present themselves so that you may learn and grow. 

Remember NOT to get too wrapped up in them! Try to remain outside that circle of chaos, keeping your emotions in check so that you don't get entangled in that web. This will keep you calmer and more observant so that you may learn the lesson and keep moving forward.

If you wish to share your problems then do so, just don't drag people down when you do! Try to be cheerful and share positive energy as much as you can but do reach out to those who truly care and can give you some helpful advice. Just don't be the person who is always complaining about their problems, no one enjoys being around that energy except others who also always complain about their problems and that will keep you both stuck in a web of chaotic discomfort! 

So I say: keep the lesson and move on!

Open up that mind of yours! 

Let go of judgement, criticism and just absorb! People's opinions, expressions, visions are easier to digest when we listen and absorb open mindedly and not take it personally. The beliefs we have can sometimes keep us from growing and learning and as much as we are here to experience Life, a vital part of our experience is to never stop learning and growing so it is important to remain open and receptive.

There are endless options, endless possibilities, endless realities so if we shut some out we can be missing some key ingredients to our own happiness!

Doing something different from others, even just thinking differently can be a scary thing when you feel like you stand alone in those beliefs. However, if you follow the flock it better be because you are happy doing so and not because you are afraid of how you will be looked upon if you head in a different direction. Each one of us is doing our best to lead our lives the best we can, and sometimes your choosing to head in a different direction can be inspiring and helpful, so please don't be afraid! You will be helping those who desire the same but are afraid to be the first to do, say, think or head in that different direction.

Keep yourself open and receptive and carry Courage wherever you go!

Luv and Light,

Daisy!

Your Life is YOUR Life so you must do everything you can to make sure you are on a path that keeps you content! No one else will or can do this for you so it is completely up to you! It is your responsibility and it is VERY IMPORTANT that you get over blaming others! We all have people we can choose to blame, yet we also all reach a certain cross road where we can chose to remain victim, blaming those who hurt us, OR we can giddy up forgive and LET GO! We can remain victims all our Life if we choose  to, OR we can regain control, grab those reigns once again and CHARGE FORWARD toward a happier, freeing Life!

Here are some signs that I believe confirm that you are on a path that is good for you:

You are smiling most of the time!!! (literally or within)

You feel content to be alive!

You feel calm inside.

You enjoy the quiet.

You feel gratitude every single day.

You sleep peacefully.

You are generally happy most of the time!

Check and see what direction you're heading in and make sure it not just satisfies you but excites you!

Luv and Light,

Daisy!

A Little Note Says It All

Tearing Down One Steel Wall At A Time

We each have our soft spots! 

For some of us it's difficult to reach because we have built walls of steel around that beautiful soft spot! 

I know we can sometimes choose to take Life too seriously because bad things happen to us and we become angry or fearful, so we build ourselves stronger to protect ourselves and we can easily get carried away with it and eventually turn ourselves into beings that are hard and unforgiving and forget that we are here to enjoy Life!

When I see someone who has these walls ( I can recognize them because I had once built a steel fortress of my own) I try to reach that soft spot. Sometimes a smile works, sometimes words, gestures or a hug works, other times I speak their language of steel so that they can understand that I can very well relate to them! 

Those of us who have worked or are working on our healing, can see others who are in need, or who are trying to do the same. The point of the matter is, to reach out! I am no better, no different than you! We are ONE! So we need to reach out, because we are all part of each other and when you're smiling it makes me smile and vice versa. 

We have a rippling effect that stems from within us and we need to become aware of that!

We each have our soft spot, remember that as you do your best to help yourself and others!

We all have our pains, but the power of forgiving and letting go is what we can help one another remember to do!

Life is here for you! It is here right now! Don't waste your time and energy feeling angry and bitter! 

Besides anger and bitterness isn't beautiful looking and we all want to look beautiful!

The next time you are speaking to someone, pay attention, most of the time they are reaching out for help and most of the time they don't even realize that!

Do your best to help your fellow humans! 

Help make the planet smile tearing down one steel wall at a time!

You Are Not Allowed To Complain

Some people don't think it is necessary to work on their emotions. 

These people are usually the ones who fall victim to Life's episodes and wonder why them? 

How do I know this? Because I used to be that person! So I know what I'm talking about!

Thinking more positively and re-arranging your thoughts and focus takes work. It also means that Life will seem to present you bigger and brighter things. This does not mean you won't have issues that arise or challenging situations to face, but now that you are looking at it with new vision, thought and focus you will be able to have a better understanding as to why it is happening and how to cope with it!

Changing the direction of your focus is in itself powerful! Everything changes with it! And for the better!

SO if you do not work on yourself, and do not see the importance of doing so then I say, you are not allowed to complain! If you whine, cry and be down about everything then I say you are not allowed to complain! If you do nothing to change, make no attempt to improve yourself then I will say again, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COMPLAIN!

A beautiful body takes effort, work and dedication so does a beautiful mind and spirit! What you put in is what you get! So if you're busting your butt to a Tracey Anderson workout video everyday, or eating your potato chips everyday, the realities here will be very different. The same goes with the mind! 

I have literally redesigned myself mentally! I have repeated so many positive affirmations and read so many books, listened to countless cd's and lectures, gone to several conferences and different therapies!  I have done plenty of work on myself and the peacefulness I feel inside is my long desired reward alive and present in my life today!

Remember these words and make the necessary changes!

YOU CAN DO IT!

Your Daily Routine Crushing Your Dreams

If you want something you've never had, then you've got to do something you've never done!

I read this little quote somewhere in the vast world of the internet and I agree with it 1000%!!!

Your daily routine can be great for keeping you organized but can trash your dreams by making you feel stuck in the daily grind of your Life! 

Make sure you can distinguish the difference by understanding what your emotions are telling you! 

Let me share a little story with you;

Last year, Steve and I decided to get married down south which forced some of our family members out of their comfort zone into a reality they had never known. 

Before this trip, my parents for example, had always  taken trips which consisted of them driving, cooking and cleaning up after themselves so we had to explain to them what an all inclusive resort actually included. Besides them feeling nervous about a place they had never visited, they were confused by the idea that drinks and meals were already paid for, their beds made up for them, and their rooms tidied up by the amazing staff. 

As they arrived on the resort I could see the uncertainty in their eyes. What was this place? How are we going to feel at home here? Well, it didn't take very long before they were happy as can be, already planning their next all inclusive trip! Amazed at how wonderful it felt to really relax and not have to complete any chores! A new reality was brought to them! Even 80 year old grandma found herself loving and enjoying the "pampered" treatment!

This is a simple example of doing something different. For some it may include changing their eating habits or exercise, for others it may include thinking more positively or listening more and speaking less. Some may want to jump out of a plane, and for others it may simply include using their other hand to brush their teeth!

Whether you're picking up dancing or painting for the first time, or learning to ride a bike, the reality is If you want something you've never had, then you've got to do something you've never done!

So check in with your daily routine and make sure its helping you build a better reality and not crushing your dreams!

Protection 101

In my everyday Life I make sure to protect my personal space and I highly recommend it for everyone. I do it daily!


A dear friend asked me for some help. I thought I would share my response with you:


“Take a second and find a quiet spot (if you’re already at the party, a bathroom stall will do), envision a golden circle that goes completely around you (think Leonardo Da Vinci man – arms and legs spread out- no need to actually do it, just envision it) TAKE  3 SOLID INHALES AND EXHALES and say to yourself,

“I NOW ASK MY ANGLES AND GUIDES TO COME THROUGH ME TO HELP ME EMPOWER AND ACTIVATE MY PROTECTIVE CIRCLE, SO THAT ONLY LOVE MAY ENTER AND ALL NEGATIVITY BOUNCES RIGHT OFF! I AM NOW FULLY EMPOWERED AND PROTECTED!! (Here is a great time to smile) THANK YOU MY DEAR ANGELS AND GUIDES!! THANK YOU!!!

Ok, that’s the protection..this could be done every time you step out of your home or are receiving guests..lasts 12 hours..need to do it again after 12 hours..

Now for the sleeping anxiety, Run a movie through your mind of what you would LIKE to experience – remember, NO LIMITATIONS HERE!!! Even if Johnny Depp is in your visualization so be it!! It DOESN’T have to be realistic, it just has to feel good!! So let go of any limitations and ALLOW YOURSELF TO DREAM AS BIG, CRAZY OR EXAGGERATED AS YOU WISH!!! HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!. Then repeat to yourself as many times as needed,

“ I NOW SLIP INTO A PEACEFUL SLEEP KNOWING TOMORROW WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF!

But let me say before you get to that point of anxiety try to make the following your daily mantras!! Repeat ALL DAY;

“I AM ALWAYS SAFE AND PROTECTED. ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD!!!

Choose Wisely

We all have those people in our lives who help us feel UP! One conversation with them zooms us upward inside! We feel re energized and content! Those are the people you want to spend more time with! On the same note, we have those who drain us, sadden us, complain and help us feel down perhaps even depressed!

My advice to you: cut those people out and if this isn't an option then give them solutions. Most people who complain don't want solutions, they just want someone to listen and feel bad for them. They are happy in their misery and want you to share with them in their pain. Please understand that I am not saying not to listen to a friend in need and not help them out NO! I'm referring to those who are constant complainers. Those who are constantly feeling sorry for themselves and will call you just to drain you! You know, people we would consider to be negative. 

Eating a proper diet is important, so is excercise but so is choosing how to spend your time and energy! Choosing happy people to surround yourself with, in my opinion is just as important as any other aspect in your Life!

Always choose what helps you feel good! 

So the next time that person approches you with their depressing stories, tell them you really don't have time to talk or better yet, try and help them to understand what it is they are doing to help create that reality...they will either listen or be quick to want to get far away from you!

Misery really does love company, it's up to you to choose to be that company!

Choose wisely!

This One Goes Out To All The Children!

I watch my gorgeous nephew (soon to be 1 year old) continuing to discover the world with beautiful curiosity and excitement and although that means eyes on him on all times, it amazes me to watch him! Everything is new! A fresh discovery! How beautiful! 

It reminds me how anything and everything IS possible! I see the beautiful love his parents and him exchange and it reminds me of what the word love means!
He is this small human learning simple things with extreme joy! So proud of himself for completing the simplest action! It is truly amazing to watch! What I love most about this little superman is the lessons he continues to teach us as we observe him.

This precious soul came at the same time we lost our business to a fire. What timing?! When we wanted to be sad, angry, even depressed - we couldn't be, because we had this angel with his enormous blue eyes reminding us that Life IS the most important thing! He kept us happy, and fulfilled as the days and months went on of having to deal with many unpleasant details! That in itself is is one of the many gifts this little guy brought with him from his magical place! And continues to share many, many more!

I know how blessed my family is to have such a great teacher come our way! He continuously shares his joy, laughter, and gorgeous energy with us wanting nothing in return! Not too long ago, I had gone through a rough 2 days and when I went to visit him he was extra attentive to me! Extra loving and affectionate! This guy is barely 1 year old and understood from my energy(I did not act sad at all when I saw him! I went in as I always do- a huge smile and massive affection for him- no different from any other visit) But he knew! He filled me with so much joy it evaporated any and all remaining negative emotions! He understood what I needed and he delivered PRONTO!!!

I believe children are much more in tuned with the world we all come from because they haven't been disconnected form it yet. They are still living in both worlds. The tangible one we call earth, and the magical one that most of us need to quiet down to reconnect with! They however, are still very much connected to it! A child's energy is so precious and powerful!
So today I thank all the children of the planet, all their gorgeous gifts of love and beautiful energy! For all the important lessons of Life they continuously teach us!

Thank you precious angels! Thank you Lewis! Zia Loves you!!!

Do people really want solutions? Answers? 

I have learnt that there is always an answer and with this I also have learnt that many prefer not to know the answers because it means learning about themselves which can be very scary at first. But know this: learning about yourself: who you are, what works with you or against you, what your thoughts contain and your emotions create are the curtain to unveiling ALL the answers you will ever ask!

Courage and strength is what you need in order to pull that curtain open but only YOUR willingness to do so can bring you there! There is no magic button!

So stop searching for it! 

Understanding yourself is all you need to do! From there you can transform!

Luv and Light,

Daisy!

I understand "things happen" in Life, but I for one take responsibility when they do. We are no longer misinformed enough to believe that we have nothing to do with it. Something in the way we think, speak, feel, eat, believe or listen that helps creates whatever that it is! Clearly we all want beautiful things in our lives, but there is nothing wrong in understanding that we don't always know what we must do in order to achieve those things. 

For me, it was inner peace! I could not get to that place! 

So I studied myself. 

I read, researched and learnt to discover where my problems lay and what needed to be done in order to get what I wanted and I worked at it!

 My body, mind, spirit, even my food intake were not getting me where I wanted to be, so I did what so many of us find challenging: I chose to change.

People who knew me for many years noticed, and many did not like the new me. Some wished I would go back to who I was! But this isn't their Life it is mine so why would I be the person they want me to be? 

I allowed myself to change and I achieved my Life long goal of inner Peace! Hurray for me!

I am not complete with it; NO! This is a Life long dedication! I know what I need in order to Live a Life I love to look at! And so do you!

If you are unhealthy, sad, angry, frustrated, depressed or just not happy: find out why and make the changes you need to make!

Luv and Light,

Daisy!
