"This or something better is now manifesting for me in my life, in totally satisfying ways for the highest good of all concerned."
~Shakti Gawain~
This affirmation has served me well throughout the years, and continues to do so. Whenever I am falling into survival mode, it is time to pause and reflect on those times where people that have been there for me. These events haven't always been positive experiences, that is for certain. Most of my personal growth, both emotionally and psychologically have come slowly. Several oppurtunities and lessons that my Higher Power had in store for me, were easily overlooked and missed as a result of my own self-centered behavior. However, things can turn around.
The Spirit Rocks that I sell have been an example of this. Being out of a job and having no foreseeable future, I found myself looking out over the Pacific Ocean from a remote beach. Perhaps I will end up as a drifter, skipping rocks along the shore. Or perhaps an artist living in my own pad like a bohemian. Then it occured to me looking at these smooth shaped rocks. That's it ! I can paint on these small little canvases and maybe generate an income doing this!
Today I have a life I've hoped for, living in a town that is equivalent to Mayberry, and countless friends who have always been there for me. I have everything I need, and need everything I have. Materially, settling for less has served a better purpose, although it hasn't been without a bigger price to pay. I just wanted to grow up to be hip, and to be loved.
Having achieved this dubious and yet illusive goal, it is obvious to me now, that change is the rule and not the exception in life.Whether to go forth willingly or unwillingly is always the question to be addressed. Just for today, I won't hold back.Thy will, not mine, be done.
Below is a sample of what has been called "The Rock of the Week" even if this hasn't always been the case.I have been a bit lazy as I've grown older.
Enjoy!
