It's been an eventful summer so far...a month long trip to AU, a 10 day trip to LA, revving back up with Keller Williams, meeting a partner there, hosting the Portland girls in LA while I was there, seeing KD Lang & Pema Children...all the while selling real estate and watching the market go through the roof. That's just the last 2 months!

The best part is yet to come...getting my local marketing together, hosting my AU counterpart here for 6 weeks, spending a week with my family and taking a road trip down the LA and spending another couple of weeks there.

For the moment I am enjoying being home. The solitude, the beauty and just delightful. I have one more day then I am in front of another human for another 6 weeks. Wild!

I don't think I have ever had these kinds of experiences back to back. It is the flip side of crisis to crisis..fun to fun...adventure after adventure. It is awakening me.

I feel keener minded, thinking of things I haven't thought clearly about before. I'm ready to take action professionally as never before. I feel a sense of confidence and detachment that has been missing for some time. I'm even clean on my food again after 6 or 7 years! Soon I will be cross fit training and will enjoy my self and my life even further.

I need to get up and go show property....praying all the way

Yours

Its nice to have a blog. Today I am thinking about eating patterns... mine in particular.

With stomach pains being an ongoing issue it is becoming paramount for me to address and correct my eating patterns immediately.

Until now I have eaten what I wanted when I wanted. Lately my sugar consumption has reached a peak that is almost unparralled by any other time in my past, as an adult.

And though I have eliminated fast food for the most part, I still load up on chips and munchies... Particularly when I m laying in bed watching TV. In fact, eating in front on the TV in bed is my most enjoyable way for me to eat.

All of it must stop. I need the breath and chew my food thoroughly. I need to stick to 3 meals and snack only on low carb or no carb food items. I need to avoid eating in bed...but I suspect it will be the last to go.

I am completely responsible for my wellbeing. It is my primary responsibility. I can not meet that responsibility if I keep numbing in the way that is do.

It is time to add some meditation to my daily routine and some excersize. I actually enjoy doing them together. Time management :).

Aahhh.... So simple yet so elusive. Now that I have identified what needs to happen, doing it every day..making the time, remembering to do what's necessary... it feels good to think about a rational sustainable life. Executing it will take a mericle.

The most challenging aspect of the execution is my tendancy toward ADD. Limited attention plan.

Breathing...mindfulness...crucial.  

I'm writing a blog to share wisdom, insights and thoughts that are out of the box.

As a Realtor, I live firmly within the box. I'm a clear, quick communicator, highly responsive, quite proactive and hyper-vigilllant to my clients needs as I move steadily toward meeting their goals.

My blog addresses more personal strengths, with me engaging in reflection generally in response to some stimuli or another.

I consider myself a Seeker, a mystic of sorts. One who meditates and communes with my Creator, in effort to rise above the many topics of the mind to the ultimate Union with my Source.

One will see, as I continue, that I refer to God in this way...Creator or Beloved. Nothing more. Nothing less. Yet all there is.

It is so freeing to have a place of expression such as this. Rather than live alone with my thoughts.

Some may have to stretch their limits, as I muse over ideas that have been brought to me that I would not normally consider as my own. Yet since there is no separation in all that is, I must acknowledge all as being valid and present. Worth at least brief consideration.

I do hope you enjoy what you read here. May it give you pause. Something to consider. Possibly a key to your own freedom.

You are your primary responsibility. Be present. Be vigilent. Be well.

Sprit Animals...

I'm reflecting on my recent realization that my spirit animals are the hawk and the horse.

It is the horse that I have inhabited for most of these years. A service animal for the most part.

Always serving others, with love and egarness. Carrying the heavy loads. Being strong, standing tall, pushing through adversity, carrying whomever needed to ride from weak ones to warriors.

Sometimes running races, competing against myself as I push toward personal or professional goals.

Other times, running free on the beach, snorting and splashing in the surf with the wind in my face engaging in the only sense of freedom I had ever known.

Today, while I see the nobility in the horse, I embrace the hawk.
One serves God, the other lives in conscious union with God.

Flying over all of creation, riding on the wind rather than running against it.

I have never been earthbound, grounded one might say. I have always preferred to soar.

I never realized my options and choices. Now I know.

This is such a new awareness.

Something I truly never considered, something I never knew.

In considering this new information I can see I have a choice in each moment, each interaction, to be one or the other.

While I embrace both the hawk and the horse, in an effort to strive for balance it is definitely time to inhabit the hawk.

I fly in my meditations, high, far and effortlessly. I can see forever.

I love the fierce mind of the hawk and the fierce heart of the horse.

It is something I have always known: true freedom comes from knowing who and what you are. Freedom is behaving in a way true to your nature.

Today I know I am both horse and hawk. There is magnificence in the fullness of each expression.

I suspect, in the past, I believed it was not compassionate to inhabit the hawk.

Hawks are edgy except when they are flying or waiting. Their eyes are sharp and cutting. They hunt. They are fast and successful in the hunt. They are highly focused on meeting their own needs.

They don't have to think about it.

Meeting their own needs comes natural to them. They need no one nor anything to give them purpose. Their life is their purpose.

The horse needs others...as companions, to serve, to guide them to give them purpose. I have been a horse...or appeared to be a horse..for far too long. Leaning too far in one direction.

Its my time now. To fly. To use my mind. To hunt my prey. To make living fully be my purpose, my life. To be fierce, fearless & full of efficient, successful confidence. Confident of my own success in my hunt...in all my movements.

The flight of the hawk is equally as noble as the strength and tenacity of the horse. Both are quite beautiful. Both are completely worthy.
