daily dose of inspiration

EXACTLY what I needed at a time like this:

I think you're amazing. I think your approach to life is dead-on. And I can't think of anything you've ever done that I wouldn't have done had I been in your shoes.

Still, beloved, I think we could have a little chat about visualizing more often. Seeing the end result in all its glorious detail, bypassing the cursed-hows, and feeling the emotions you expect to feel.

happy

Sometimes,having more fun and being happier comes from looking for each in crazy, new places; instead of waiting for them to come from where you've found them before or where others are now finding them.

And I do mean crazy. Not just from the old standbys of travel, adventure, and romance, but from stretching, reaching, and growing. Accepting new responsibilities for your happiness, totally accepting others, and grasping even higher ideals. Philosophically taking yourself to places few have ever dared before.

Red hot smokin' love,

There's always a higher level to go when it comes to happiness

i'm kind of tired of waiting

Sometimes, when things take longer than you thought they would, it's just a gentle reminder from your greater self, that you have more time than you thought and that there's a journey to enjoy.

Like all the time in the world.

Besides, just because it's taking longer than you thought it would, doesn't mean stuff isn't happening, even as you read these words.

You might call it spiritual logistics but sometimes you have to move away, to get closer.

Or you might just call it weird.

Either way, it helps to remember it from time to time.

And while we're at it,sometimes you have to let go, to stake your claim. Be still, to move forward. Give, to receive. Cry, to feel the joy. Pretend, to make it real. Fake it, before you make it. And sometimes, oddly enough, you must first decide to feel their love, to find it was there all along.

fearless flower

A super-secret, double-reminder for all fearless flowers:

If you but soak up the sunlight you are given, drink each drop of water I send, and strive only to be yourself, life shall quicken in your roots, spirit shall raise you into the light, and your bloom will inspire the world.

what the year of the TIGER has in store for the PIG

PIG
Anticipate exciting times. Tiger is compatible with one other sign outside Tiger's relationship harmony triad of Tiger, Horse, and Dog -- and that one sign is you! Tiger and Pig are allies so much luck is with you in all endeavors, including romance. Sensuous Pig loves wild Tiger who helps you when stuck with a problem or doubtful of which way to proceed. Under buddy Tiger's influence, Pig has opportunities for advancement, adventure, and travel. Dreams can be fulfilled. It's lucky for Pig to entertain and indulge a bit after Ox year 2009. But overspending and overindulging must be tempered because Tiger can live larger than life. This Tiger year starts a two-year window of very good fortune for Pigs because Hare year 2011 is also lucky for you.

Looking for love in Tiger year? Pig is most compatible with another Pig, Sheep, Hare, and Tiger. Serpent is least compatible.

The Way of the Pig:
Peaceful, optimistic, sensitive.
1911, 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031

Pig is very intelligent, sensual, and self-indulgent. In China and Japan, the white (metal) Pig is associated with the moon and possesses the courageous qualities of a warrior. In the Chinese Buddhist novel JOURNEY TO THE WEST the good-natured Pig character, Zhu Bajie, symbolizes extreme sensual appetite. But Zhu Bajie is well-loved and respected because he openly admits to the indulgences that we all enjoy.

Pig is a strong animal known for its intelligence. A classic Chinese tale tells of a smart Pig who refused to work for the farmer who owned him. All the other animals labored: Ox plowed the field, Cat chased away Rat, Horse pulled a cart, Monkey carried the farmer's son to school on his back, Rooster crowed at dawn and Hens produced eggs, and Dog kept guard. But Pig just ate and slept - and ate and slept. Pig even complained about the quality of his food. Pig realized that he would have food whether or not he worked, so why bother to contribute? When Pig least expected it, the farmer sold him and his life of contentment ended. In this way, smart Pig defeated himself through his own cleverness.

The year of the Pig is a time of self-indulgence and fun. It is also a time of peace, understanding, harmony, and fellowship. Ease and enjoyment of the good life will be valued more than power and status. People can be kinder to each other in everyday interactions and feel little need for competition. Extravagant vacations, sumptuous meals, and lavish spending on luxuries and fine clothing are to be expected. Individuals tend to feel content and satisfied, ignoring the bills that accumulate over a Pig year. The following Rat year will be the time to face realities after Pig year indulgences.

I AM BEAUTIFUL

Think that it's fun that you're guided, and that all is well; that there's time, that life is easy, and that the best has yet to come.

Think that the reasons that elude you will one day catch up, that the lessons that have stumped you will one day bring joy, and that the sorrows that have crippled you will soon give you wings.

Think that you're important, that you cannot fail, and that happiness always returns.

And think that you're beautiful

tallyhoooooo

When people see, for the first time, how everyone else on the planet is just another version of themselves - the same spark of God except for the pressures and desires unique to each life - some laugh, some cry, and some laugh until they cry.

May you live your life so that when this day dawns for you, you're among those who laugh and laugh and laugh.

Tallyho!

Now think about it.Why would they laugh? Yeah, because they discovered that their profuse love for others turned out to be a profuse love for their own supercoolhappyselves.

daily dosage

Ever have that feeling that your life, your true work, has not yet begun?

Ever feel like you're here for something more than you've yet identified? And that a billion eyes are upon you, just waiting for the prophecy to unfold?

Hmmmmmm.......

And, have you also ever wanted something so badly that all your wishing, hoping, and praying kept you from seeing that you had it all along?

Yeah, tera, like times three! Your work has begun. You know exactly what you're doing. And your fans think you're just delish.
