The root of all human suffering is the belief that “I am not good enough”.

This was one of my most profound lessons as a cancer survivor.

Yet the core of our being, our soul, is LOVE!

We lose ourselves in this thing we call life. We forget who we are and what we came here for. We begin to believe we are all these experiences we are having. Through our experiences, we form beliefs and then we live out these beliefs over and over.

But we are not our thoughts, beliefs, and experiences. They exist outside of us.

We have a choice every moment to love and accept ourselves and create the life we choose. So many of us spend our time hoping, wishing, planning and scheming for our lives to be different than what they already are. We have used so much energy and time trying to create situations other than the one that we have, and end up missing the life in front our noses today.

The pelicans were here when we arrived……fascinating…inspiring…..

I arrived at the lake to prepare for some friends to arrive for a couple days of fun.  It was raining and overcast skies.  Not a perfect setting for a bonfire and time at the lake but was assured that all would be perfect.

As my friends arrived we noticed two beautiful pelicans sitting right in front of the cabin on the lake.  I had never seen that before.  Then they explained that they had seen pelicans as they were driving to the lake.  They were beautiful, peaceful and serene.  What a message for us, for all of us to live our life in peace and serenity.

As time went by we saw a third pelican, then a fourth.  I couldn’t believe it!  Why were they suddenly here?  They had never been here for 11 years.  Even more intriguing….they were all right in front of our cabin.  They had the whole lake.

The simple phrase I wonder……. opens up a piece of you to explore and see and feel your deepest desires.

I wonder what today will bring…

I wonder what this Christmas season will bring….

I wonder what the meaning of this holiday season is for me……

I wonder how I could give and receive love…..

I wonder what the biggest gift I could give…..

I wonder what I am to learn this coming year…..

I wonder what I really want to do right now….

I wonder what my greatest gift to the world is….

I wonder how I feel about…..

I wonder if I should call__________….

My friend Jaques wrote this for us and it is so true…the lies we tell ourselves and then live out every day.  We think they are true and real and we carry them with us and live them.  They are not true.

They are showing up in our life for a purpose.  We wanted them to show up for us.  We actually set it up this way

They show up for us to see what it is we want and don’t want.  They show up to remind us that we are not those thoughts or words or actions.  They show up to remind us who we really are.  It is like a game.  We came here knowing the rules and how life worked and why we are here.  Through life we slowly forgot the rules, how the game was played and why.  Even if we have forgotten, we are still playing the game because we are living.

Ask Yourself Empowering Questions

My good friend Julia Rogers Hamrick wrote a compelling and thought provoking note on the tragedy in Arizona with James Arthur Ray and the sweat lodge.  I know a lot of you have seen the news reports and wonder…..

As we wonder we talk about the facts and then we tend as humans to want to blame someone.  Who is to blame? 

When we blame we are actually pushing our energy out on someone else or out into the world.  Our energy could be a feeling or a thought.  If we have a thought about the event, it is an energy within us.  This is the time we can look within ourselves to find where the thought may also be true in our lives.  Now I am not saying any of us have been in this type of situation, but the thought or feeling is within us for a purpose.  What is the purpose?

From my beautiful friend Samantha Noelle Golt

“We can and ought to love everything around us, our family, our friends and each stranger, indiscriminately, as we love ourselves.

If we cannot love and serve those close to us we have nothing.

 We love not by feeling or thinking but by doing, by being love and in being love we know that we are here to serve the One, the All, because when we serve that is when we are love.

We are able to choose love over the self, over the ego, and that is true freedom, not whether we have the right to vote or to speak up or to get angry or to be naughty or to earn a living or to be happy.

Within each of us is our connection to the most powerful, loving, all intelligent energy in the universe.  That is where the answers lie for each of us.  Here is an amazing story of a young woman who listened to her inner authority and followed it and believed.

No matter what your situation, go within and find out your truth, whatever that is.  Then follow and believe.  That is when miracles happen.  This is how we were created to live.

I am a German national living in the Philippines with my husband and 4 children since 26 Years.  18 month ago I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive and fastest growing of all stage 4 brain tumors.  I had no warning signs like headache, vision problems or any other problems except some tingling and cramping sensations in my leg, which did not really bother me much.

“All the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.”
- Richard Bach

When we get a raise, start a business or take our lives to the next level of successful living it’s relatively easy to believe that our belief system is what has brought those things to us. We know that it’s possible to manifest all the great things we have in our lives and acknowledging that we’ve done it is easy.

What about the not so great things? Are we to believe that all the things we attract are good, right and wonderful and things that are not wonderful are the fault of fate?   What about attracting or creating disease?  Are we responsible for that also?

Responsibility often frightens us into the emotions of guilt, regret, and fear of the unknown.  If we reframe the word RESPONSIBILITY, and say,
