Captured Moments

Our parents do us a great service, whether they meet all our needs or not.  They have the responsibility to teach us how best to survive in the world, based on what they know, understand and have experienced themselves.  If they are limited to just basic information, knowledge, experience or education, whether it is due to gender limitations, financial restrictions or based on their parents and their limitations, they cannot offer more than what they know.  Gratitude and forgiveness for what they provided is essential for our growth and, in many cases, our current health and happiness and certainly for our healing. As adults, one of the greatest gifts we can receive is the developed ability to discern what was 'fed' to us by others, beginning in early childhood when we were not able to discern for ourselves.  As we grow and develop, we play out all the expectations, assumptions, self-images, imposed needs, old hurts, old anger, old resentments from those around us, whether su

This golden center of the emerging flower contains within it the perfect vibration of Health and Happiness for you.  Know that it can and will discern what is best for you and your system to gain and maintain your perfected balance of mind, body, heart and soul. 

Our human heart connects us to our bigger, expanded Heart, which links us directly to the HEART of the COSMIC SOUL.  When we can hear it, acknowledge it, understand it, listen to it fully and let it guide us, we align more fully with who we really are! Our ego mind takes us on a journey, too, with it's drive, it's need for self-fulfillment, self-acknowledgement and self-identification.  Yet, it is up to us and our lifetime and life cycle to realize what aspect of us we are aware of, listening to, following and what desires we are hoping to fulfill.  Not to mention, what others around us want and need or expect from us, too.  There are also life forces that can play on us and distract us away from listening to, understanding and following our hearts. When our Heart speaks, we are wise to listen and begin an honest dialogue with it, respecting it's direction and LOVE for us.  Our HEART of Hearts will always guide us to the right and perfect situation for us, when we give
