This was given to me from Linda at The Healing Place and I thought I had to share it with everyone.
It should only be talked about if the talking will make you feel better. It is of no value, ever, to activate and talk about something that doesn't feel good because it reactivates it in your vibration; it makes it another point of your point of attraction so you're less clear.
In other words, when you focus upon the problems of others, you diminish your ability to help them. People believe that you've got to focus upon the problem in order to find a solution. And we say, no solution ever comes forth- it's never inspired; you never recognize it, and you are never able to facilitate or achieve it - from your place of focusing n the problem. They are two entirely different vibrations. If you have someone who has many things going wrong and one things going right, beat the drum of what's going right, and let that be your point of attraction. If you focus upon their problems, you achieve vibrational harmony with something other that the Source that gives you solution.
Linda actually had this printed for someone else but I had asked her if I could have it. It hit me because... I love to help people and maybe get myself too wrapped up in their issues. Of course because I care about the person, I am affected. I never saw a way to avoid that until I read this. Trying to focus on the good in my life, why didn't I ever think to focus, and try to get other people, to focus on the good in their lives? Well, now that I know....
When I was at my appointment it was the very first time that all my chakra's were open. Linda and I looked at each other in amazement. I no longer need to see her as often as I was. I now have absolutely no feelings of physical stress. How many of you can say that? If you are ever interested in getting rid of those belly aches, tightness in your chest, headaches, backaches, or whatever you feel under stress....please see Linda. She is amazing. I have passed her card out to many in hopes to help others find their happy place and relieve themselves of physical pain. We all deserve a good life...one without pain caused by every day stress. A huge thank you to Linda for changing my life!

Just Keep Swimming
I am back! It has been two weeks since I have blogged and I apologise to those who are faithful readers and who were looking for inspiration, for taking so long. I want to take the time to thank all of those who have been commenting on how much of an inspiration I am to them. This blog about my life, has helped me heal not only myself but others as well. Some may not agree with my conclusions, my beliefs, or anything that I write....and that is ok. It is your choice whether or not you read it. And, your choice to take things whatever way you choose.
In a well needed therapy session this past week I mentioned to my therapist something that Shawn had brought to my attention. He said, "What would you do if someone threw you into a body of water?" I of course said, "Swim." When he asked why, I said, "So that I don't drown." Basically what he was getting at is that when the world seems to come down hard on us, we keep going and do what it takes to stay alive. A cute image of Dory from the Movie Finding Nemo suddenly popped into my head. It was the part of the movie where she sings, "just keep swimming, swimming swimming." I start to laugh every time I think of it. I know it what I need to do however, this anchor keeps trying to pull me down. My therapist loves my analogies since they are usually humorous. However, she said to me, "Amy, why don't you take the time to just float? Stop and take a break so that you do not get tired of swimming in this pool of life." I was like, "Float? Why didn't I think of that?" It is probably because I am too busy swimming to stay alive that taking a break was never even an option. After a lot of praying and talking to my angels for guidance and support, I feel like I have accomplished the floating. LOL!
When you are feeling the weight of the world, just float. That is my new advice. Think about those positive people who ARE by your side. Chances are they outweigh those who are not. Think about the things you have to be grateful for. Think about and picture in your mind the things that make YOU happy. Look for advice in those who believe in you and do not judge you. In time it is as if everything else will just disappear. What you are left with is peace.
The quote I received today was: Champions get up, even when they can't. Being knocked down in the past to the point of being in a depression, I was far from a champion. This time I am not allowing ANYTHING to bring me down to the point of staying there. The song, "Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty was on when I left my store yesterday. I turned off the radio and smiled. I know I am strong and no one will make me believe me otherwise.
What I am thankful for today:
My truest of friends:
Jamie
Rachel (thanks for coming over today!)
Melinda
Marty
Diane
Rudy
Heather
Jen R
Shawn

What I Believe In
Rudy once said to me, "No matter what anyone thinks, no matter what anyone says, you absolutely must stand up to whatever it is that YOU believe in." With this running through my head, I think to myself...what do I believe in? I know that giving is something that I completely believe in doing since it is so much more fulfilling than receiving. (At least it is to me.) I also believe in loyalty. Being in a position many times where I have felt the wrath of being stabbed in the back from someone who you may think is a true friend. I have had people say that no matter what they would always be there for me. Then I around and they are no where to be found. I am sure I have had my turn of not being as loyal as I should have been. Life experiences have taught me that loyalty is very important. Friendship is something that I completely believe in. Life would get pretty darn lonely without friends. And, it seems as though when you are at your lowest point, your true friends are the ones who are still by your side. They are the ones who are completely loyal and very giving. Freedom is of course another huge thing. There are so many things that I know I would fight for to the end. These mentioned are only a few of them.
One of the biggest things I believe in is love. The love I have for my children is like no other love I could have ever experienced. I always have said that with the love of my kids, I feel like I could take on the world. Being a mom does turn us women into a different being. Someone recently told me how much they respect mothers. They respect mothers because we gain these super powers that men will never gain. One is the power to multi task the other is the power to stand up to anyone. I have mastered the multi tasking LOL! Standing up to anyone....well, I am working on it. If they get in the way of my children, you better believe that I will open my mouth. However, when my feelings are hurt I find it difficult to tell the person how I feel. I am working on this in therapy. Feeling judged and criticised, it is not easy for me to express how sad I am to the people who are being so judgemental. I know in time things will be fine. So I guess all I need is time? I keep reminding myself that it is just words...just words...... And, once again that those being judgemental are only bringing on more judgement onto themselves.
The next thing I believe in completely is happiness. Everyone deserves to be happy and no one in this world can know what will fulfill another person. And, it is no one's business on why something makes someone happy. Like Jen reminded me today, "You always tell me that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks." These are words I always say to her. Funny how sometimes we need to re-hear our own advice. She is right...well, I am right...LOL! It may hurt when you find out someone doesn't agree with your choices, or that they are discussing your personal life behind your back. The important thing to remember is that IT DOESN'T MATTER! So, my advice today: don't worry, be happy. And, do not allow other people's opinions to alter your decisions. They do not live your life....you do. And remember to stand up for what you believe in...no matter what. How is that for being strong? LOL!
What I am thankful for today:
my children
my friends
love
laughter
Feels Like Heaven (love that movie!)

Compliments and Simple Things
Let me start by saying Thank You to whoever posted the very nice comment under my last blog. It isn't often one hears compliments like that, even more so from a complete stranger. Again, I thank you. It is greatly appreciated.
Never have I taken compliments well. I am thinking it is because I had a hard time believing them. It also has to do with those people who are very self-centered and so confident in their appearance, their material items, their money and so on that they come off as being very snooty. Never did I want to emit those feelings to anyone. I feel very confident in myself in every aspect where once I did not. However, people tell me all the time that I send out positive vibes and not conceited ones. WHEW! I am thankful that I am surrounded by people who are just like me. I take a huge look at my friends and none of them expect compliments or praise. All of them find joy in the simple things in life and know that it is the small things that end up being the most meaningful and important in the long run.
I am thankful for these simple things in my life:
time with my children
time alone
time with my friends
laughter
love
nature; rainbows, sunsets, the ocean, the sand, flowers, etc.
creativity
imagination
inspiration
sleep
coffee
music
bare feet
smiles
hugs
motivation
my health
the health of my children
confidence
strength
painted toes
sea shells
the sunshine
the rain
Boston cream donuts
my pets
candles (PartyLite of course!)
the smell of Christmas
contentment
my free spirit
each new day
every new lesson learned
clean laundry right out of the dryer
"I love you's" (thanks Jamie for telling me every single day.)
a clean house and the productive feeling you get once you are done
gardening
scrapbooking
long walks
long talks
a working computer
pictures
funny movies
breeze on a hot summer day
kindness
thoughtfulness
selflessness
signs from above
dreams
goals
and the power to accomplish both
