Your own, unique song

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.twain31

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain



There is such a deep truth to it and the funny thing is- you cannot blame anybody if you don’t do it!
We need to follow the song of our Soul which sometimes might be very difficult because we feel we are pulled in many different directions. But these usually are detours. Learning how to listen to the unique song of our Soul is an art we can learn through stillness, silence and solitude.
Many blessings your way, Barbara

Forgiveness

- Dr. Christiane Northrup

Forgive yourself for everything you did not know in the past. Don’t waste any of your precious energy beating yourself, or anyone else, up. Your power to change your life is in the present, regardless of your past. -

Meditation

Elder’s Meditation of the Day - July 24,

White Bison

“Life is like a path…and we all have to walk the path… As we walk… we’ll find experiences like little scraps of paper in front of us along the way. We must pick up those pieces of scrap paper and put them in our pocket… Then, one day, we will have enough scraps of papers to put together and see what they say… Read the information and take it to heart.”

–Uncle Frank Davis (quoting his mother), PAWNEE

The Creator designed us to learn by trial and error. The path of life we walk is very wide. Everything on the path is sacred - what we do right is sacred - but our mistakes are also sacred. This is the Creator’s way of teaching spiritual people. To criticize ourselves when we make mistakes is not part of the spiritual path. To criticize mistakes is not the Indian way. To learn from our mistakes is the Indian way. The definition of a spiritual person is someone who makes 30-50 mistakes each day and talks to the Creator after each one to see what to do next time. This is the way of the Warrior.
Today let me see my mistakes as a positive process. Let me learn the aha’s of life… Awaken my awareness so I can see the great learning that You, my Creator, have designed for my life.

Awareness

‎”Listen a hundred times; ponder a thousand times; speak once.”

- Turkish Proverb

Next time when you are in a conversation try to observe yourself and the other parties. We all rather talk than listen and we usually don’t think much before we talk. Everything in  this day of age  is on the” fast lane”.  Barbara

Reflection

Begin to listen to what you say. Don’t say anything that you don’t want to become true for you. -

“Woman” Up

We need to step up and take responsibility. The times, when we used to say: “oh, maybe tomorrow” are over. Barbara

“It is our job to honor and protect our babies. Both our physical children, and all of nature that is around us.”
