Belonging to yourSelf

-
Who or what do you belong to?
Do you belong to your job, your family, your social status, your church, your kids, spouse, friends? 
Do you belong to the past, the future, a dream not yet lived? Do you belong to an ideal or belief that is no longer valid, valuable or valued? 
Do you belong to a clan or tribe that is soulful, helpful and suportive? Do you belong to a role or outmoded belief in yourself? 
To live your life heart and soul inspired requires certain tasks of yourself.  One of which is to ask yourself these questions and become conscious of who and what you "belong to."

We oftentimes do not realize how our time, energy, values, sense of self, self worth, getting our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs met belongs to someone or something else. We may not realize this until we become drained or ill, or disillusioned. We might not even realize it until that which we belonged to rejects us.
 The journey home to belonging to ourselves is the foundation of a life soul-fully and heartfully lived.
Belonging to yourself is sacred work. It requires you stand on holy ground as the carrier of your own light. 
Belonging to yourself takes holy selfishness. It takes a certain kind of self confidence that is born of your own inner light and self awareness. 
Breath in this sentence "I belong to myself and stand fully in my own light." How does that feel to you? Do you believe it? Does it frighten you? Does it wake up insecurities or does it make you feel strong and capable? 
There are no right or wrong answers here. Simply insight and inspiration. To fully belong to ourselves   is the key to living a life of fulfillment and joy. When we belong to ourselves we make choices that benefit us, heal us, and thus benefit and heal those we love. 
Doesn't it feel good to consider belonging to oneself?
I support you in this most sacred and holy endeavor!!!

Love,
Mary

Full Moon in Sagittarius! The Big Ask

-

  Hello Fellow Travelers, Time to gather round the fires of late spring and chat up what your plans are for this coming summer. And beyond. The full moon in Sagittarius occurs this coming Saturday brings so very much positivity and optimism to everything and everyone. This week leading up to the full moon may be either incredibly inspirational or incredibly annoying. That depends on how well you meet your inner optimist. You would fare well by listening to that optimist and taking action. If you take action on one small goal this week it will benefit you tenfold. If you hesitate or talk yourself out of it, or in anyway buy into your inner critic, that too will multiply tenfold. Whatever you focus on grows. You have heard that adage, well it is especially true this week. Use it to your advantage. Check your inner critic. Take a risk, take a leap. The smallest risk, as long as it has to do with your own inner faith and trust in Self, will bring an abundance of reward. Be very clear t...

Boundaries, Bamboo and Birth

Hello Fellow Travelers,  We have entered into a cycle of retrograde and this is always a good time to recharge and re-group. Giving ourselves time to replenish creates better flow, healing, clarity and awareness. We all know this, yet sometimes we forget.  The energy leading up to the Mercury Retrograde in the cosmos asks us to better understand the archetype of Mercury. Who is this god and why does he get so much air time lately? How can we use this energy to benefit our lives? In retrograde, Mercury is standing still for a short spell, it is our cue to think before we speak, step back, or stand firm like bamboo. Think twice and then three times before acting or choosing. Be discerning. Mercury loves to pick things apart and put them back together again. Rumination? Perhaps, but necessary rumination. Rumination that leads you to a deeper understanding of what is important to you now. What was important last year may not be important to you now, or ever again.  W...

Life is Messy I and II

Last week's message was about the messiness of life, the ups, downs, ins and outs. The minute you think you got it figured out, life will indeed give you something else. There is a lot going on out in the world and we are inundated with it on a moment to moment basis. It seems messier this week than last. What to do? I suggest you delve in and see where it takes you. First of all, what is messy to you?  You all have your own definition and I would encourage you to find yours and work with it. Messy to me is the opposite of harmony and peace. It is feelings as well as experiences of unrest, unease, discord, disharmony, etc. It's when I or someone I love or care about is hurt, upset or in trouble. Messy is witnessing or being on the receiving end of cruelty in words or deeds. I have experienced my share of messy situations, as has everyone alive today. I have been cleaning up messes since childhood. Not only cleaning up messes, but then striving to keep order of ...
