My Blog is About MY Life…My Book is MY OPINION About Life

Today My Life turned another corner – I finished the book I’ve been writing!  Until this very moment, I had no idea when or how the book would end…just as I had no inkling the day I began writing it, just two and one-half short months ago.

I’ve started and never finished three books in my lifetime.  Obviously, as interested I was in beginning each one, I didn’t have enough impetus to finish any of them.  I knew as soon as I began this fourth attempt, that this would be the one that would come to the proper ending….a completed work and a very self-satisfying accomplishment.

Unbridled Commentary….Without Flinch (From a woman of years in “the middle” of her life).  There is no story line….no timeline…no plot …. random thoughts…my opinions about life as I have surmised  through my 80+ years!   There could be more coming…why not?

I initiated Liferays.net July 4, 2015, with full intention of openly excavating my emotions.  I dove to my oysters and searched for the elusive pearls of my essence…my innocence, my purity, unadulterated love for myself and others.  I have not sidestepped or deliberately ignored or hidden anything.  That’s the point of delving into one’s authenticity in the first place, after all!  What I felt, I have shared openly.  I hoped  readers were observing how liberating this experience was proving to be for me.

As I move forward,  I suspect I will be even bolder  as I continue to uncover more emotional artifacts.     The rewards far outweigh the risks as I continue to free my authentic Self.

My book is suspended for now, awaiting my deliberation how to proceed.  The fulfillment and joy that I received writing it has proven to be quite enough for my Soul.  I’ll try to figure out an outlet so others may choose the opportunity to decide whether or not it can be fulfilling to them and provide joy in their lives.

So, for NOW, in my NOW, this is it!   I have all the faith in that which I trust…MYSELF, my goodness of intent, and my Creator.   Blessed Be All.

Everybody has a “GO” button!…and a “Stop-and-Think-About-It” Button Too.

So, I got up this morning, hit my ‘GO’ button, and here I am starting this blog!  That’s what I mean…Life is here for the taking… all of the time.  If we don’t give much thought how we begin, other than to start with a smile and trust the best is yet to come, how wonderful is that anyway?

I’ll never let myself be called a PollyAnna!  No, I see the world all right; I can’t be happy with lots that goes on AT ANY TIME…but, I can always be happy  with what’s going on inside of me.  

Life, in general, is situational.  My Life, on the other hand is personal!  I give myself attitude, latitude, gratitude, magnitude, energy, synergy…I AM the  pulse, the impulse and all else that goes into who I choose to be in all my integrity and truth to myself and what I want to stand for.

I AM the only one who can soften my own blows, set or reset my boundaries, sift out my own facts for my own reality, restructure whatever may be calling for my attention….I AM the only one responsible to stay aligned with my Creator,  fully trusting that alliance will always keep me on course.    I AM ANSWERABLE TO MYSELF!

This said, I love making the choice to live In the Presence, In the Now…It is so freeing to let Life Present to Me….the newness of this experience…no planning, or endless to-do lists or expectations of “shoulds” in any day.  Of course, one does the mundane… grocery lists, keeping track of appointments, maintenance and repairs, etc…… but to drop the obligatory thought process of what I should be doing in this lifetime on a daily basis is absolutely over-the-top optimistically joyful!

No need to dread the all too frequent inquisitions of “When?”, “How?”, “Where?” and “Why?”, ever again!  My confident answer is, “We’ll See!”

I am a leader, not a follower.  I am a starter and I’ll finish when I get to that enigmatic finish [Life] line!  All I have to do is keep pressing my ‘GO’ button every day I awaken to the privilege of living my life that I was created to live.

WHAT’S TO THINK ABOUT?  “GO”!   Blessed Be.

 

I Have a Resume’ of Life….It’s Called My Legacy.

June 5, 2017 / / "Going for It", Faith and Trust, Life and Living, Manifesting our goals and dreams

I’m writing a book these days!  No, it’s not here in my blog….but I do have a chapter in my book that deals with legacy, and it is entitled  “Legacy, everyone has one, everyone leaves one!”

I’ve come to know for myself that the footprints of my life were not left in sand and were not washed away by the winds of time.  My life has never been a private one – I touched  many people, and so many people touched me.   Sadly, most of my earlier life, let’s say between the ages of 0 to 53 my concerns were outside of me, not inside of me, except when I was going through dis-ease with circumstances (“series of events” I’m known to call them)).  Most often I wasn’t getting ‘my way’!

Everyone around me has always had a “piece of me”…and based on how often and intimately we encountered each other, I’m pretty sure they were taking notes.  These notes were about me and the legacy I was leaving at any given time.  These were opinions of others based on the impression I was making at any given time……their opinions….and I would be the last person to say anything about “opinions”, because I’m giving mine out all of the time – they are my truths!

So, back to my resume of life.  IT IS I WHO CREATE THIS.  And, it is I who will live with it, and change it, as I witness my growth and transformation in this lifetime.

I am not setting out to see my name in lights; I am not even desiring to have compliments or accolades from others – again their opinions; I am not setting out to write a best-seller; I am not trying to be anyone other than an authentic person living out that Blessed human life form I have been given.

I am setting out to recognize the spiritbeing of me…the essence of everything I AM…the connection I know I have with all that IS and all that I instinctively KNOW THAT I AM…..and I am fearlessly charging forward, stating this now to my world at large, I AM FEELING MORE AND MORE WHAT I KNOW TO BE THE TRUTH OF ALL

IT IS MY INTENTION TO LEAVE MY RESUME OF LIFE THAT CAN SHOW TO OTHERS NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE SAID, NO MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE WHATEVER CHANGES YOU FEEL MOVED TO MAKE…YOU CAN GO FORWARD IN YOUR LIFE AT YOUR OWN PACE AND YOU WILL COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE TRANSFORMED BY YOURSELF!  

BLESSED BE ALL WHO BEGIN TO ENCOURAGE THEMSELVES TOWARD THEIR GREATNESS AND WHOLENESS AND THE HAPPIEST THEY WOULD EVER WANT TO BE!

RESUMES OF LIFE CAN BE WRITTEN IN AN INSTANT AS WE LIVE AND SPEAK OUR TRUTH!  WE ALREADY ARE THAT WHICH WE ARE CREATING.  WE ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT WHICH IS EXPECTED OF US.  

Caveat:  I AM  the Wind that would never have blown away my footprints.  Blessed Be All.
