" A Strong Woman is one . . .

. . . who feels deeply and loves fiercely.  Her Tears flow just abundantly as her laughter . . . A Strong Woman is both soft and powerful.  She is both practical and spiritual . . . A Strong Woman in her essence is a gift to the world."  Author Unknown - FB Some cultures depict and describe a woman as the one who can open a man's heart and soul to himself through her Love along with her depth of knowledge and understanding.  In turn the male provides her protection through his Love and support and allows for her safe walk in the world.  When we look at the current aggression in the world and how it appears to threaten and prevent the collective peace on our planet, it may well be time for women to remember the ancient art of manifesting a higher love.  Thereby, bringing to and through her heart and soul, Love, which invites and offers Peace through her to the men she loves and restoring balance back to earth and humanity for us all.

"I have told you already . . .

. . . that difficulties are a sign of possibilities.  So they must not upset us.  To remain quiet and confident is the best way to make them pass away quickly."  The Mother - "White Roses" To over-react and respond harshly to things only upsets our system.  When there are problems there are also solutions.  Staying open minded and with an open heart allows the new ideas to come and invites in greater opportunities to creatively solve what needs a resolve.  When we are confident that the best solution will come we stay open to fresh ideas and learn to trust the bigger picture.

"All darkness of the world cannot put out . . .

. . . the light of one small candle."  Author Unknown A new vision is emerging.  One of a world of Love and Peace.  It is through the heart and soul of woman who touches the heart and soul of man that the world will change.  She can take his "raw" emotions, (spelling "war" backwards) and turn them to a higher Love, which transforms his system from a more primal drive into his natural state of Peace.  As he shifts and changes with his Light, so he illuminates others and touches the earth with Love.

"Great successes are built on . . .

. . . taking your negatives and turning them around."  Summer Redstone Negative thinking and feeling are human aspects of our human experience that can stopped, changed and transformed.  They can also run us down and drain our energy.  Negativity is everywhere and when it appears, positive energy can and does shift it for the better.  One can remain optimistic even within the experience of negative situations.  Just like knowing the sun can transform the darkest clouds, positive thoughts and feelings can also change us.  The more conscious we stay of any negatives, the more opportunities we have to shift and change them into a positive situation and experience, thus changing our energy for the better!

"The golden opportunity . . .

. . . you are seeking is in yourself."  Mary Engelbreit With all our human senses, it is easy to look to the outside world for fulfillment, opportunity and satisfaction.  The greater search, the more expanded understanding and the deeper connection to all things lies within.  There is a depth and breath to who we are and when we aspire to know who we are through a more profound understanding, we begin to access our very essence, our being self.

"We can do no great things . . .

. . . only small things with great love."  Mother Teresa Great Love is something we can all cultivate.  Opening our heart to love our self, those around us, those we know, the earth and the world allows Love to flow.  Love is the grandest force in the universe and it is the one verse we can all sing.  A heart filled with gratitude allows us to be more and do more with, in and through Love.

"You find a new awareness . . .

 . . . of "self" when you gently touch the hearts of others."  Regina Touching the hearts of others opens a space for Love to flow where a previous block may have been.  Just like water moving in its true nature, Love needs an opening to flow in and out.  The motion and movement of Love creates more openings to the very force of Love from our human self to others, to earth itself and to the highest expression of Love.  When Love is a resonating energy, connecting hearts to their true ability to open, expand and express, the whole of creation can change through Love.  In that way, peace is possible.

"I can only give my best . . .

. . . to others when I am in touch with the best in myself."  Author Unknown In our heart of Hearts, Love is always giving our best.  Resonating Love to others allows for and invites in more Love.  Opening our hearts and minds to receive and offer back Love creates a flow of energy which goes and grows. Expanding that Love allows it to go in positive directions.  In truth, we are Love and as we accept that, more of who we are becomes the energy of a living Love itself.  To feel Love and know Love also helps us to discern when we are not being Loving.  Surrendering any blockages to greater Love will always keep us balanced.

"Your heart knows things . . .

. . . that your mind can't explain."  Kushandwizoom Levels and layers of the heart know a depth and breath we can't necessarily articulate, describe or define, yet it knows.  It can and does guide us in ways that perhaps we will only understand in hindsight.  Love is a truth we can follow and trust.  Our heart contains many gifts.  One of the greatest gifts is the ability to Love fully and to live in a continual state of gratitude.  In that way, we can always know true joy!

"I would like my life . . .

. . . to be a statement of love and compassion, and where it is not, that is where my work lies."  Ram Dass When we can't feel Love and compassion for a person or situation, that gives us a golden opportunity to work with that area of life until we are filled with Love and compassion for it.  Blocks in our system are often due to pain, confusion or misunderstanding.  Perhaps we couldn't love something before or fought against it.  Looking back now, once it is well in the past, we can find a Loving renewal, gratitude and compassion for our self when we couldn't open to it.  In that way, our Love evolves and so do we.

"I have learned silence . . .

. . . from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind.  I should not be ungrateful to these teachers."  Kahlil Gibran Being alive is a great gift as is learning.  When we are grateful for all teachers and all life lessons we begin to see that everything is a gift, allowing us to grow and go forward.  Just like waves hitting against the rocks, a carving of sorts occurs and both are needed for the re-shaping.  To learn what we need to learn, often we are presented the opposite force.  Gratitude for the new awareness opens our heart and sets us free.

"All truths are easy to understand . . .

. . . once they are discovered, the point is to discover them."  Galileo The inspiration to discover the truth comes from our heart and soul's longing to remember itself.  When we are guided to go within to discover who we are and why we are here, it is an amazing journey.  On the path, we may also experience that that we are not yet to awaken, that is necessary.  Gratitude for the evolving awareness lifts any pain up to greater and greater illumination!

"There is only one time . . .

. . . when it is essential to awaken.  That time is now."  Buddha Awakening to our truth is not easy yet it is an essential task.  To realize who we are is a gift and through that level of consciousness, we open to and understand the higher realm of Love, life and why we are here.  The time is now to open to our highest possibilities and to expand that Light and Love to others.  As we dwell in the now, we awaken to our highest potentialities and vibrate to a higher collective truth.

"We serve life . . .

. . . not because it is broken but because it is holy."  Mother Teresa All living things in the creation contain the essence of life itself.  The essence of life itself is holy and sacred.  Our human system can experience itself as being broken, hurt, crushed and out of balance.  Yet, in our heart, soul and spirit we are whole, Loved and compassionately understood.  Life is a sacred experience and we are all part of all things holy.

"Never does the human soul . . .

. . . appear so strong and noble as when it forgoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury."  E. H. Chapin Living in the present moment of Heart and Soul awareness, we realize how much of the past we can release in a state of Loving gratitude.  It may have impacted our system in hurtful and harmful ways that we are still coping with and yet in that same moment, we can Lovingly surrender it to the Love of the Infinite.  Misery creates more misery and Love creates more Love.  When we Love all things that happened with pure gratitude for the experience, Love's vibration will change our life, our self and the world.  This isn't just a concept, this is physics.

"Each one has to find peace . . .

. . . within.  And peace, to be real, must be unaffected by outside circumstances."  Mohandas Gandhi Inner peace is an inner journey for each individual.  Peace has within it a sense of balance, understanding and stillness.  An acceptance that is not subject to the ebb and flow of life's motion, emotion and movement.  It is a calm inner presence of Love without clouded thoughts and feelings.  It can remain present despite an disturbance around it.

"The further a society drifts . . .

. . . from the truth, the more they will hate those that speak of it."  George Orwell On first thought truth sounds like what we all want and something we would all benefit from receiving.  However, "when God enters a room, so does everything unlike him."  Meaning often the opposite response happens after truth has spoken.  Truth can illicit fear.  When we don't recognize the fear we carry, other feelings like hate can occur, perhaps masking as fear.  When a society or a person aligns with and can speak truth, clarity and Love are there too.

"Some people come in . . .

. . . your life as blessings.  Some come in your life as lessons."  Mother Teresa One of life's greatest gifts is the gift of discernment.  When we can discern our lessons in life were there to reach us and teach us, all things can become blessings.  To go through a painful life lesson and turn it into wisdom and clarity, the rarity of that is a blessing. With an open heart, we can hold much gratitude for all of the blessings in our life.  The lessons come to help us to grow.

"The greatness of a man . . .

  . . . is not how much wealth he acquires but in his integrity and in his ability to affect those around him positively ."  Bob Marley True wealth lies within.  When we align our energy with our pure inner integrity, our energy becomes much more positive.  The positivity resonates with more positive energy and that positivity affects the whole of life.  Our positive integrity aligns us with our truth.  When we can walk through life with our clarity, integrity and truth we are balanced, happy and whole.

"Teach only Love . . .

 . . . for that is what you are ."  Course in Miracles What we are that aligns with our truth, the universe and the cosmos is Love.  What is common to us all is Love.  What heals our life and allows us to renew our self  is Love.  The whole of creation resonates with Love.  To eliminate fear and negativity all we need is Love.  Love is the Light and Truth that shows us the way.

"See the highest good . . .

. . . in everyone and you open the way for them to see it as well."   Dancing with Spirit - FB Holding the space for someone to recognize their greatest good and higher possibilities offers them the opportunity to grow, expand and elevate to a higher understanding about them selves and the world.  Light and energy are vibrations and all of life is energy.  When we focus our energy on positive results, we begin to resonate with greater and greater positive energy.  As we so enlighten our selves, we so enlighten the world.

"If I create from the heart . . .

. . . nearly every thing works, if from the head, almost nothing."  Marc Chagall Our human heart is capable of more understanding, more compassion and more Love than we realize.  When we access the heart's creative powers of vision, energy and perception, so much is made possible.  It is through the heart that we understand the bigger picture and our part in it.  It is through the heart that Pure Love knows no bounds.  We feel it and can express it and through positive intention, Love encompass the world and all of humanity.  Our heart creates Love.

"In the attitude of silence . . .

. . . the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.  Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth."  Gandhi Light brings clarity and in that open field of truth, what has been untrue reveals itself.  Just as the sun shines again after the dense fog lifts.  As we search for the Truth to reveal itself, we encounter various shades of gray.  Learning to discern becomes our best way to see what is real from what is false and to see clearly our true path forward.

"Love is the secret password . . .

. . . to every soul."  Rumi Love is a universal language.  It goes beyond boundaries, blocks, prejudice and fear.  Love is a feeling and a cosmic force in the world.  It has the ability to heal, transform, lift up and expand our human experience in ways that bring us joy and purpose.  Human beings, animals, earth and all of creation resonates with Love.  When we become the Love itself, our whole human system fills with Love for our self, others and the world.  It is an act of true giving.

"The greatest fear in the world . . .

. . . is the opinion of others.  And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion.  A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom."  Osho When we are  no longer held down and back by structures that seek to keep us at the bottom, we can hear a new and clear guidance to move in a new direction.  We have all felt the judgment, disapproval and rejection of others at some point in our life.  Avoiding any further experience of that can change our behaviors and slow us down until we are held tightly by structure yet again.  When we can go beyond it and hear our own heart, freedom can be our next few steps away.

"If there is light in a soul . . .

. . ., there will be beauty in the person.  If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house.  If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation.  If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world."  Chinese Proverb Who we are and what we do have an affect on all of life.  The collective energy of the creation affects us all on both the conscious and unconscious levels.  Balance, happiness, health, well being, kindness and understanding within our self aligns us with our very being self. The positive affect of that energy and vitality goes and grows to our self and to all of those we meet.  It is also the positive force of life and Love itself.
