The Ultimate Striptease


How I dream and fantasize of
The freedom to shed each layer
I close my eyes, cloak my cries
Feeling heavy ready to tear

Tears are streaming, dripping, ripping
The process provocatively begin
Each tear, rips to tear, unraveling the disguise
The angered hate from promiscuous lies 

This shedding; now a sharing
Gifts to be realized, recognized in fact
Each item discarded for all to remember
A connection to the resurrection of a brazen act

No stopping, each article sensually cast
This art form, the movement answering truth
Each choice slowly carefully, reveals us stark naked
Tearless waterfalls of love, fully awakened

What lies have been promiscuous?  Which ones will you stop today?
What is your Ego claiming to be you?
If you fully realized it and let it go, would it change how you see yourself?
What experiences are you willing to share/shed today?
What would your life look like if you would give these away?
How will you move today that will answer your truth?
As you shed the heaviness of these experiences, what do you see and feel?








Just for today I stand stark naked, outfitted confidently in love

Listen only to LOVE

Something tapped upon my shoulder
By whispering through the air
Send someone some love today
Do it now I dare

Choose the one that has some doubt
The one we feel in pain
Send it fast without a thought
Do it know its gain

I listened to the nudge from high
I knew not what to give
The perfect gift from what I lack
My self to now forgive

Celebrations rang eternal
Continuing in my chest
It pounded it’s rhythm of respite
At peace now I will rest

The universe urged to tap my heart
By responding felt its surge
My soul remembering the everlasting pulse
Pure love to now emerge

Unlock the Unknown





First let’s stop- from a personal experience tell what you see and feel, as if you have never seen it before. Stare into her eyes.



You are telling someone who has never seen this image... tell them
Who is she?
What is she telling you?
Why is she important?
What is her story?
What what  you now because of her?
This painting is known by most. We can unlock our own secrets, mysteries and the unknown within what we see when we look at her. Spend some time and feel what you see. What story wants to be told? 

The Mona Lisa is shrouded in mystery but what is true is her eyes will follow you no matter which angle you are looking at her from, just like when we look into a mirror. The painting’s  message is deep, as we can see ourselves in everything we see. Seeing into another reveals who we are based on what it is we see. It is what we see, notice and feel that will guide us. This experience is to reveal the divine feminine in each of us. Each time we do this experience we can with deeper understand allow all that is feminine to expand our awareness  and possibility in our life.

Now again we are to stop and look at something as a first experience, remembering  each moment is new always with new eyes, understandings and realizations. Each time we have an experience we deepen our awareness and with each awareness is we invite more possibility into our life.

Pen and Paper



PAPER and PEN


I did not know how little was known
Without pages written a lifetime is gone
Memories lost as empty pages are shown
Nothing to share in this awakening dawn

Empty pages are now but useless fears
So few keep an inheritance of records
Lets us not use this paper to wipe away tears
Know worlds of love are still found in your words

It takes but a moments to reflect with a pen
Then endless moments of joy as you share
I’ll do it today and not one day when
To honor this lifetime with care

What layers of regret and loss are you willing to shed?
What memories and thoughts could you save by keeping journals?
What will you write about today and how will your day unfold, knowing it is being recorded?
How will you unfold?
What aspect of yourself are you ready to share?












Just for today I stop to write my thoughts, dreams and accomplishments
 Just for today my life is a best seller

Hear the wisdom and here understand humanity


Imagine a dialogue from beyond between the universe and you. There is a wisdom from sadness and its understandings are meant to be known by us all. Close you eyes and let yourself be what you hear. Hear the beauty and perfection of sadness and find the tipping point where it turns into joy. Hear also when joy turns to passion. Our life is just like this piece of music where all is connected, every part necessary to each moment we are in. Today connect the parts. Stay out of judging moments or our self good/bad, right/wrong, happy/sad. See each moment as the moment just before what it is you desire. Expand more fully today into the outcome and see each moments as perfectly leading to it. Remember it is our passion that drives dreams. Being passionate about what we do affirms we are the change, just as Beethoven knew he was changing the world one note at a time. We are also; each moment at a time creating our dream, our masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4DDtcKZOo0&feature=related

Create with and watch your Language

Watch your Language*

Words have a vibration. What we say creates our reality. If we watch what we say with more intention our reality will manifest more quickly to match what we say we desire. Negativity is a very slippery slope. We have all had a time we came back all pumped up from a seminar or great experience. We couldn’t wait to share it or find someone that would celebrate along with us in a great forwarding conversation. Pretty soon we would find our self complaining along with the market,or weather and back in he said, she said, or what they did.

The good news is the slope is slippery both ways. As we begin to speak in high vibrating positive words and thoughts it will astonish how quickly we align with clients, and colleagues and begin to have outcomes flow to and from each other with ease and joy. We already know this. Our body responds to this language, we feel it and it energizes us. As we hear “Good for you” “You are amazing” “You did that!” “I am so proud of you” “You are inspiring” This changes how we feel. This changes our actions. This changes our knowing we do deserve what we want. This changes to our self being are we truly are.

We know when ever harsh words have been spoken to us, we have also felt it. We are all probably feeling words from our child hood that still sting and continue to claim their victory over us. No more. Let us restore our being and reclaim a part of our childhood by blessing all that said “Watch your language” to us. See them as the ones that were in possession of great wisdom, had respect for us and wanted the best for us.

Now, begin to practice this on our self first. Remember, we can never be too good to ourself, too abundant, too healthy or too inspired. Scan over the words from the list called low vibrating words as a reference. Focus on the list of words that have a high vibration. Let us begin to insert them in into our language and into our personal affirmations. Choose language around the words that truly reflects our inner being.

Human consciousness calibrates at approximately 204. Dr. Hawkins has categorized words that are linked to over all life-view, emotion and processes within each vibration. Example; life-view-hopeful, emotion-optimism, and process-intention. We will simply list words from lowest to highest for this purpose of this article.

Here are the lowest Vibrating words in order of ascent- think of the language within these words that are present in our life. Simply observe as we are reading these to see how we feel.

Shame, disgrace, embarrassment, despising, miserable, humiliation, demeaning, elimination, guilt, fault, remorse, vindictive, evil, blame, destruction, apathy, boredom, laziness, condemning, hopeless, despair, abdication, grief, sorrow, unhappiness, disdainful, tragic, regret, despondency, fear, panic, dread, punitive, frightening, anxiety, withdrawal, denying, disappointing, craving, enslavement, anger, irritation, annoyance, vengeful , craving, enslavement, pride, indifferent, demanding, scorn, courage, permitting, feasible, affirmation, empowerment brings us to neutral.

Affirming empowerment brings us to neutral.

Here are the highest vibrating words in order of ascent- think of the language within these words that are present in our life. Simply observe as you are reading and see how we feel.

Neutrality, enabling, satisfactory, trust, release, willingness, inspiring, hopeful, optimism, intention, acceptance, merciful, harmonious, forgiveness, transcendent, reason, wise, meaningful, understanding, abstraction, love, loving, benign, gentle, compassionate, reverence, revelation, joy, one, complete, serenity, transfiguration, peace, all-being, perfect, bliss, illumination, enlightenment, self, is, ineffable, and pure consciousness brings us to the highest vibration we are to know.

This is us. This all of us now. The body heals itself within these words.

These words are for us to create a sentence to stay above neutral in our day. Completing this and saying our sentence over and over will have us remember our purpose and who we are. This distinction has us now know what the greatest human beings in history knew. Think about that and embrace it. As we choose your language carefully we become inspired and become inspiring.

Example: “I go through my day in joy, perfect and complete within my intention of being the best illuminating love and understanding peace.” Sandra Furber

Stay with thoughts that inspire us, our family and our life. Observe the other thoughts as evidence we are not on the path of your desire. To stay present, focus on the words above neutral. We are not in the moment when we are within the words and language below neutral. The past is our illusion. Only now is real. When speak our truth it is creation now. Watch your language!

*the calibrations of the words come from Dr. David Hawkin's Power Vs. Force.

New Day Knew Way

Faith and surrender
Exchanges all time and space
With a granting of now
One singular moment
At a time
To do with what we choose
This is offered
With each breath
That is given with its trust
This same opportunity
Is offered to all
With each exact breath
Another chance, another change
Each having the same authority
Equal in power
Equal in what is created
One breath decides to surrender
To exchange and change all to love

Imagine what the Soul sounds like!

Free Will- Freedom


We are all Artists. The medium we use is our life and our canvas in the universe. Remember we are an extraordinary unique expression. We are all here creating with permanence forever changing the masterpiece that is eternity. We are here to choose to live in this awareness.


ART – Awareness Realizing Transformation


As Artists, when we change our awareness a new perception and perspective can inspire an original thought action and outcome. ART accesses who we are being. Who we are being affects everything we are doing.  The freedom of our expression is our fulfillment. Expressing from freedom is our destiny.  As we let our thoughts soar to the vantage point of love every solution reveals itself. Today's solution is Free Will.


Like a bird trapped against its will
All will still stay the same until
It realizes
Its own free will


Free will; the ability to choose
Without to exist, exit, excuse, loose.
Thoughts fuse to rouse revealing choice
Power realized as each moment’s voice.


Sings free will as freedom
Choice and action as its kingdom
Never again against its will
Sill only until desire fulfills goodwill


It now stays in what it says
Sings the way to play on this new day
Freeing freedom willing a knew way
Here may the stillness hear its triumphant ray

ART-just is!

MASTERPIECES HAVE NO EGO. Ohhhhh… Do you ever notice a piece of art, not having an ego, does not pick up any baggage throughout its life to cloud its original intent? It is what it is. This seems to make it effortless to see the multitudes of unlimited aspects its meaning holds and in that, its message and beauty. It is also easy to accept it fully without a need to second guess or change it. Art is considered so sacred that one would never altering or fixing what is sees. What would it be like to simply see ourselves as we are and within in that space of acceptance, see the perfection we have always been? If we can get back to our original state, the clarity of who we are will allow others to also fully realize and remember who they really are. It is in this exact moment that we become the masterpiece and the artist in our own life. Our meaning will have clarity and in its simplicity, love will be realized.  Finally our beauty will be known as we hear the whisper.... be-you-too-full.  Just us, no other, the original.


In our original state we were created from the image of pure love, greater than any physical masterpiece we have ever seen. We are an original, the uiniverse was the artist, and the medium was love, period. We are that which inspired every Master 's word we admire. Please allow these words of truth to begin to remove some of the layers we all must shed. Where do we begin? We begin with simple questions and honest answers, each intending to cast, a layer that prevents our true essence to be known. Isn’t it perfect that cast means to shed and also to radiate? In the casting, as in sculpture, what we will remove will unveil with clarity our ultimate image. If we can boldly strip back to our souls, we know our gifts will be known by all, and that our life will truly have made a difference.


Haven’t we been waiting to hear that this power has been ours all along and that we ourselves can reveal our own truth and beauty? Let your answers and affirmations become you, as you become the master artist in your own life. You are already all you intended to be. This is just a reminder of the joy to reveal you as a masterpiece. You will unveil yourself over and over again, discovering the most irreplaceable, fearless, and beguiling being. Let us instead of being knights in full armor charging our way through life become dazed full of amour charging through the night, living in power, on purpose and in divine beauty. We will not only see the masterpieces we are, but create a life that we will proudly dance across, signing it, as an artist would with boldness and love. We only think we haven’t already been doing this. Let’s begin the conscious creation of our self and our life as a Masterpiece.
IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS THE WORD……




What will you say today! Create with the word and create a new world.

Surrender Dorothy

She was searching and lost. Aren't we all and so tired of “Who am I?”, or the more frustrating “Why am I…the way I am?” The answers would be so simple if the heaviness of fear, anger, judgement, and isolation could be stripped or chipped away. We would absolutely and easily reveal ourselves as rare, beautiful, pieces of art. The experience of stripping away our old beliefs and negative thoughts one by one would expose our sumptuous, spectacular and sacred self. What would it be like to discover our self unveiled; the intoxicating image and the precision of love's creation? We believe it is everyone’s birthright to be able to stare into their own eyes and know their perfection, power, purpose and beauty.


Why do we not already know this? We live continuously accepting what life has added to us, as us, when we should know who we really are lies in the depth of our being. We can even pretend we know this, yet this is how we must now live. From this word forward surrender to the truth… we are a Masterpiece, a priceless and supreme work of art. We are that which  inspires the greatest artist the universe has ever known. This artist to be eternally know as LOVE.


We now realize our lives, experiences, challenges, pain, loss, and betrayals, to name a few, have encased our pure soul in layers and layers of masking. The mask becomes the form we no longer see out from or be seen because of. Who we are becomes measured by the results of these daily misperceptions. This then adds layers to make our form more dense and we become, literally, more dense. Who we are is clouded, veiled, and covered like some sort of human collage. If beauty seems to be found in its simplicity or what isn’t there, we must have the courage to accept the profoundness of living stripped to the soul.


We all know this frustration. We can feel the need to cry out but because of the medium that is packed around us, all that is ever heard, muffling through, resembles a sigh rather than enragement. When asked how we are, we declare fine and what we mean by that is the ambiguity of the line that we have drawn across the sand. Will we take a stand for our greatness, fight for living in joy? We must become disarmed, unveiled, and naked to give ourself the full power we have been battling against. The truth is we will remember our strength as we become uncovered, without the false protection that has actually been causing the deception of our weakness or inabilities. Can you begin to unravel the truth by answering this… was the Wicked Witch of the West really wicked by using fear to have Dorothy surrender to her inherent power?


Either way you look at it, surrendering to our greatness and surrendering the faith in each others greatness is our ultimate freedom and will access our purest extraordinary expression!

Being in Action keeps you in creation and out of reaction.

"To know and not do is to not know"-Socrates


Being in action is how we demonstrate who we are. Being in action is the reflection of what we know, not as an interest or principal, but as a way of life. Being in action is being in the world and the foundation of everything that exists as we know it. How we ACT or our actions demonstrate who we are. Our direction comes not from each role or circumstance we find our self in, but from our self. We must start directing our own actions from the greatest outcome we each desire.


We all have heard how we do anything, is how we do everything. Being careless in one area will finds itself in another. Practicing being present and aware will find its way into every facet of life. Let the way we do something be more important than what we do. Creating from the intention of  the greatest way, will keep us present and in action.


Each action we take is creation. Its form will manifest more quickly if we honor every action in this way. When we are in the action of our being, having thoughts that support what we are doing we create consciously. Creating consciously creates energy that we can feel and others can feel also. When we are ourselves fully creating and not reacting we become present to a power we all  know as inspiration. Here is  when we are now knowing and doing. What we know is, what it is we do as our own unique expression changes everything. What we do no else can do the way we can do it. We are a one of a kind creating original moments all day long.


On the other hand if our actions are based on reaction we are creating from not knowing. This is why days can go by and we won’t be able to tell anyone what we have done. We don’t set out to consciously react to our day. It simply becomes a habit and it keeps us very busy believing we are also accomplishing a lot and therefore creating our own anundance. No one will ever received a check from “Busy INC” for all this kind of work. Today we break this habit. Today we declare we direct our day.


We must value our day and time. We must value how much we are dedicated to the best outcome within every committment and each way we contribute. We must value our need to make a difference in this life changing process and stay in action. We must value and honor the ability to assist someone else and maintain a thoughtful course of action in their life by being the example.What would we do right now if our example would help another?


We can only show up fully by being in action in our work, community and family. We didn’t sign up for the top of a mountain peak. We said we would boldly be the change and to each day be a contribution and commitment to greatness. We said we would be the example in our own way. We said we would help others remember who they are also by demonstrating our own integrity and grace. We said that, we know that, so now let’s do that. Make Socrates proud. Make yourself proud. Be in action. Help someone today find their way by doing what we do our way.

Reaction vs. Creation

When we notice something we have shifted into the observer. Without this shift we are like a car with no streering or brakes. As we observe we remain in a powerful position to create by choosing from our highest self. It is like we pull over for a moment and pull out the map again. Each time we just observe we create the space in which to respond and not react. Reaction is the language and action of the Ego. Reaction is the manufacturer of all that we do not desire. Every time we react in a moment we allow whatever is the pattern, to become more ingrained in ourselves. A reaction of anger gives us more to be angry about. A reaction of lack has more lack show up. A reaction of doubt has us feeling uninspired. Inspiration can show up in the moment we observe. When we create space or a pause as an observation we disconnect thoughts and patterns that exist in ourselves. Energetically it is like pulling a plug and taking away all the charge the situation has. In other words observation is an order to stop what is happening and start creating from what we desire. To respond is creation. You now have a choice in each moment. This choice is reaction or creation.


As we become mindful and choose to be the observer whenever we are experiencing something negative, it weakens the strength and power of an old thought that has brought us this experience. Without connecting it to the automatic reaction it has nothing to exist upon. Without a reaction we begin to stop all attraction to similar situations or circumstances. As we observe we powerfully stop the perpetuation of the thoughts or patterns that have defined us as our experiences. This alone is change and a new creation for our self.


As powerful growth seeking beings let's add to observation yet another tool. Remember our core values again. For example think of grace, love, freedom, service, or empowerment. What if they were pulled from of our awareness and accessed in the moment of observation? What would that moment then bring? Our core values are now the tools we sculpt each moment with. We co create with the universe what we choose in the moment of the observation. We now create and control the observation. We create with our core values everything we want to experience. We control every experience because we know we are responsible as we always have choice. Notice our language invites our true self as we hear the word responsible. As far as I know there is no word in our language coming even close to “reactable”. Ask yourself in the observation what would grace do or say? What would empowerments do or say? Insert your core values into these questions each time you observe and watch everything you create from the observation. We now have an even more powerful choice to make. We can be the observer or activate our core values into our experience each time we choose to be the observer. This is a huge distinction. Now let's play with it.

Everyone is a Coach


This article is inspired by you and what you are doing right now to change the world.

How much awareness do we have of what others discover and become because of us? Every moment our actions offer the example, the challenge, or inspiration to change others for good. Equally our actions as the example can invite apathy, indifference or unresponsiveness keeping others where they are which is for Ego’s good. Sometimes unconsciously there is a choice to stay in actions that keep things as they are. These actions then reflect back to us from others assuring that things do stay as they are. Ego does not know change.

Change offers a new perspective or inspires a new experience which defies fear. Fear wants us to believe in an illusion that all is constant. We know change is the only constant. Do we have the courage to stay in actions that truly inspire creating everyone in our life to be as powerful as they can be? This is change. Others change in the presence of change. Change is the constant. It is truth, growth, and evolution. Action is change. Change is action. Inspired action takes place when we see we are being stopped by fear. We feel fear for an instant only when we don’t for that moment believe in love. Only love is real. Change is love.

We are being watched. We also are doing the watching. How we observe our self is creating even what we are doing. We stay productive and in action when we see and feel the results as being good. What do you say to yourself all day long? How much goes right and how much goes wrong? What is right right now? What is great right now? What are you proud of right now? What is someone learning from you right now? What is your affect on what are doing right now? As you stay here right now you are your higher self. Feel the presence of this moment. If you slip out of this moment, the moment has grabbed onto the past by the Ego. This moment is it us in the actions of our inner being responding to your values, dreams and destiny. Our actions in this moment can only be from love.

We know we are not in the moment for example, when Ego lets us see others as having less wisdom so we seem smart, having less abundance so we seem rich, or being less gifted so we think we are in control. Notice how smart, rich and in control depends precisley on one fixed moment in time. Also, as we believe this we hold others in place just so we stay in a place of illusion that is better than them. Also the more we hold others in place to keep our place, the more we believe all of this will stay as it is. Fear all of sudden stops the actions that have brought us to this moment of success because Ego lets us feel pretty good about our self. Try as we may to keep things as they are and we will bump up against the ones that do not buy into fear.

Like you, they are the super heroes. They teach us that no one defines them or labels them. They actually enjoy taking steps and action towards their own success because they have learned to see where and how Ego shows up. They simply see Ego as a force to love and the reminder they are anything but what Ego is presenting in the moment. Wisdom, abundance and being gifted are timeless occurrences in the moment of their thought. Slipping out of the moment takes us down a slide which leads no where and seems to never stop. Staying in the moment takes us straight to purpose, presence, possibility and fulfilled potential that truly goes on and on and on.

People stay the same until there has been an invitation to choose change. When we are stopped it is fear trying to keep things as they are. To make a difference we simply offer change which is love creating everything in its path. Not everyone knows they have a choice. Our actions can tell of another way, of greatness, of ease, of abundance, of fun and of more joy. Our actions become our own and someone else’s coach. Doing something different, extraordinary, and unexpected will lead us to discovery. Discovery becomes a new possibility for something that was not probable before. Every action allows the universe to respond. We will never know until an action has been taken what the result will be. What will you do now? Let the universe reveal a miracle right now.

Finally, how much awareness do we have of what we can learn and become because of others? Everyone moment of our day those we meet and have contact with are also offering examples, challenges and inspiration for us. Stay aware of all that is in our presence. See all of it as a reflection to be the change and maintain the flow from the source of all possibility, love. Our commitment to fearlessness and action is changing consciousness in ways we need not comprehend. In our actions today feel fearlessness. We offer two choices for today , see the super hero in others and change the world. Let others and their actions allow us to see our self as the super hero ready to change the world.

You are the hero and thank you for allowing change in me. Please forward to all the great coaches in your life.

STRESS- a mess of distress or a choice to master the art of start!

STRESS-Start To Respond Experience Success Silently


Stress can stop us. We feel it and know it. It can slowly creep into our awareness or knock us down in one quick moment. Once it is recognized it has connected to the part of the mind that can do something about it. Most will continue in its experience and react within their pattern of stress, reflecting in their actions and outcomes. What would happen if we started to respond instead? Response is a choice. When we choose how we will respond we are once again in our power. Choice is available to each of us and our greatest resource. Choice is ultimate freedom.


How we choose to respond will be in relationship to our goals and values. We can begin with a quick list of what is important right now to allow accessing a response from the self  that will immediately put us back on track, in our fullness and as our powerful unique expression. When we give our self freedom to find importance within our greatest contributions and when we dare our self to stare at what means the most, we unleash possibility.


We react from the Ego and we respond from our highest self. Practicing this distinction will strengthen us and our power within our self. This strength will have us respond more quickly and more often as our power. Who we will be in relationship to our dreams and each moment will be the response  and experince of our powerful unique expression.


What if our response was to experience success silently? Our perception causes our experience. If we pull back from the situation that has caused the stress and watch it from its grandest out come, we change the perspective. This immediately changes our perception. Let us imagine our grandest perspective; we changed the world, we were here for a reason, we contributed to all of humanity, we create a community that supported each other to access their greatness and we allowed the freedom or our truth to guide us.


Create a list of accomplishments from this perspective. Imagine they are true and spend time when stressed in their thoughts. See, feel and know them as your truth and creation. The vibration of thought from the mind will begin to create their reality. Instead of stress stopping us, and creating more to be stressed about let us stop to start powerfully responding to what is happening. Let us also stop and grant ourselves moments which silently honor the success we are by knowing our goals and values. Let us not be stopped by stress by believing our unique expression that dreams is a gift to all of mankind. Stress is also simply Situations To Reflect Experiences Stopping Success. Reflect and respond. Start NOW! Be in the actions of all your dreams!

Still Life- You are ART

Life is a mysterious adventure and our greatest teacher. We also hear, with this life experience, you will get from it what you put into it. We are requesting nothing be more important than you at this time. So please be generous, enthusiastic and eager for the miracles that are about to unfold. Be eager and excited because the secret and system are about to unfold to you.


Become quiet within yourself. Allow a pure stillness to envelop you. Restore a calm deep from within you. Breathe. Feel awareness and begin and know what you feel, is you. You are the system, you are success and you are the secret to life. The more time you spend in the space of this awareness the more you will know this to be true. The more truth you allow the more present you become. Truth resides now. The truth is your life is to teach, remind and show you your magnificence and purpose. Your life is exactly designed for you to be the one you are now. You are the one that is here to help and make a difference. Your purpose is to do your way. So if what you put into life you get out, put you in your life fully, and watch miracles unfold.



You are creating every moment. Most are creating from what they believe themselves to be based on what has happened in the past. The past is a great resource. If our life is to allow our magnificence, the past must be accepted and seen as experiences that are simply saying to us, in the form of events and circumstances, “You are greater than you know”. So be great, be excited and be you. Be inspired that you are the one you will look up to, and you are the only one you should aspire to be. Set your intention for more clarity on your unique talents. Watch for them to surface as a reminder to you. Begin to integrate these into your work and life. You will begin to stop the need to compare and start fulfilling a need to stay aware.



In 2001 we were working with Deepak Chopra in a very small Mastermind meeting. He asked us to get a partner and to go through these three simple questions. The purpose was to deepen our understanding of ourselves. Each question was to be asked 10 times in a row. We sat facing each other and when he said begin, the one asking the question would lean in and whisper into the partners ear, “Who are you?.” When we answered they would ask it again. Each response became more defining and more specific. It is like the person asking the question is playing the role of the universe. Remember, ask and it is given. The ultimate response is “So be it”... as in so it is done and be that which you say.


This is fun to do. Here are the questions.




Who are you?


What do you want?


What is your gift?







Live not in a Yes or No world.Live Yes or NOW!!

All we have is choice in each moment. The choice to take action, create, listen, share, or feel becomes the communication and our unique expression. These choices take on a certain quality based on the moment we are in. When the quality is felt as a negative expression the moment has linked itself to other moments in the past not yet cleared or understood. Energetically the expression slows down so much it almost stops which prevents all solutions from revealing themselves. This stuck feeling is meant to reflect on the source or root thought causing the feeling. It is not meant to fuel the current situation.


When here we must stop, breathe and realize new energy from the present moment is what is required to resolve and shift the situation to a positive outcome. There is always time to later review what triggered the emotion and why. We are all looking for agreement and to be validated. Hearing no as disagreement or rejection can stop all possibility. Some live in a yes no black and white world. If so what if no could be now heard as know. Let that shift open the door to the next possibility; a yes or now world.


Yes is enthusiasm, excitement and a win-win. Energetically it is quick and full of possibility and miracles. So quite simply to stay in the flow of solutions and a positive expression give yourself only two choices yes or now. 'Yes' to answer “is my expression inspiring actions that are in alignment with my goals and values?" 'Now' to answer “where do solutions and greatness exists?" Now is action. Actions that take place from a conscious choice in the present moment are inspired actions. Now accesses what you already know and to already know the solution.


Stay present to stay in the power of choice. Here make a new choice, from yes or now.


Here,

The Land of Possiblity is found in Art!

Our lives are masterpieces within the masterpiece that is the Universe. Art in the traditional sense takes a moment created from thought, an idea, or the imagination to communicate something. This something finds its way to a place of feeling. It is within this place that resides the space which allows us all to respond to music, sculpture, painting, dance, theatre and film.  Art touches and speaks to us in a Universal language, a form of expression and understanding without limits. We are each living forms of art, a continuous manifestation of art, each sharing this same space within. In each moment we are the creation, the inspiration, or in appreciation of living forms of art. Therefore being alive can be seen as Artistry in motion. Art becomes our life as its form affects the buildings we live with, clothes we choose to wear and all we do.


When we feel a response to art, we are experiencing something greater than our individual self. As it resonates within it finds its source, which is at the heart of all creation. When we feel a melody, see from an image, or allow a movement to touch us, the source we feel is the source of all that is. As we connect to this source we remember we are a medley, a vibrational being of color and sound. In this place we truly are the artists and visionaries of our world. Our movements and the way we touch become a dance, an expression which is pure and unique. This source, the medium from which we all create, is simply and profoundly…Love.


The Artistry is remembering we are Love and the source of everything we know to be is Love. When we remember this, we see life clearly and know that all is well. When we are able to visit life with neutrality, each experience can be seen as an expression of Love. It is in these moments, when we feel and remember Love; we resonate and know its’ truth. When we deny Love’s presence we lose our ability to access or feel what is real. To create our life as a masterpiece, as the artists, we simply surrender to the unknown and unseen. We open to see and understand the purpose of all things. Even in the contrasts of life there is purpose. Artists know of contrast, they utilize and accept this. It is why there is black and white, loud and soft, high and low, fast and slow, up and down, dark and light, more and less, movement and motionlessness, despair and joy, fear and love and also solitude and solidarity. It is all available for us to utilize.


The place where all is available is the l-and of full possibility. It is a world where a word invites the extra-ordinary. Adding the source of love combing with the awareness of and invites more to be known and a new world and playground reveal it self. When we land here we stand in awareness to expand to a grandness. Adding and, has us experince, know and access a greater perspective and greater perception. Add and we add to our awareness. We have access to see what is right now and our as our life is complete, happily ever after, we are the hero, and the one that transformed the world. Know there is access to the full picture as we stay in our true state of love and as we w-ork as our pl-ay as the way.

From the leaders of tommorrow- written by 15-17 year olds

Courage is the discovery that you may not win.
And trying when you know you can lose.


Honor is standing for what you believe-
Not for what you know.


Life isn't about living without problems.
Life is about solving problems.


If you plow the field everyday-
The only thing that grows is resentment.


Compassion is passion with a heart.


The only thing in the whole universe people need to
Control are their attitudes.


How a person wins and loses is much more important
Than how much a person wins and loses.


If you only do what you know you can do-
You never do very much.


There are no failures-
Just experiences and your reactions to them.


Getting what you want is not nearly as important
As giving what you have.


Going on a journey with a map requires following
Directions-Going on a journey without a map requires following
Your heart.


Talent without humility is wasted.


If you don't want it bad enough to risk losing it-
You don't want it bad enough.


When life knocks you down you have two choices-
Stay down or get up.

Let Go

As we let go, we let go of the EGO. As we do that the EGO can also be. In this space of letting go the unknow becomes known.

Listen to the instructions as if your true self was speaking to you. Let go. Without a word, let go. Let go of fear. Let go of judgments. Let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around the head. Let go of the committee of indecision within. Let go of all the "right" reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, just let go to hear our voice, the voice of our divine self clear without the chatter of the EGO.

Don't ask anyone for advice, don't search the scriptures, just let go. Let go of all the memories that hold us back. Let go of the anxiety that keeps us from moving forward. Let go of the planning and all the calculations about how to do it just right. Don't promise to let go. Don't journal about it. Don't write the projected date in a Day-Timer. Make no public announcement and put no ad in the paper. Don't check the weather report or read the daily horoscope. Just let go. Don't analyze whether we should let go. Don't call friends to discuss the matter.

Don't utter one word. Just let go. No one will be around when it happens. There will be no applause or congratulations. No thanks or praise. No one will notice a thing. Like a leaf falling from a tree, just let go. There will be no effort. There will be no struggle. It isn't good. It isn't bad. It is what it is, and it is just that.

In the space of letting go, let it all be. Allow a small smile. Let go to let all be known and felt. The unknown holds the space of creation. The unknown is the space for our authority and voice to declare what is. Here in the unknown we know our self, see our self and here we hear what is true. Within the sacred unknown, we are known and met with love. The sacred unknown is a sanctuary of wisdom and truth. Let go, let it all go. Release what grips and what is in our grips. Open our hands and feel the space of the unknown. Let these same hands be of creation, free to create, open always to the unlimited and possible. Let go of impossible and feel I'm possible. Let go. Now stop. Notice. Feel our selves as miracle.

UNCOVERED- the Masterpiece YOU!

Love uncovers the truth by simply illuminating it. The truth is love is a stream of brilliant thought that will dissolve the veils to reveal the masterpiece we and our life have always been. Love is an unbridled artist that distracts our attention from the everyday to show us we have a purpose. It has been a long journey to discover this. Many rocks were turned over before we remembered what Michelangelo did to create David. He lifted nothing in search of his masterpiece; he simply liberated that which was already there. How much time do we waste actually under the rock justifying our search of self, only to forget what we’re searching for and then just stay there? This is about getting the lessons from the rock and freeing the masterpiece. We are here to remember we are the finest form of art, an original, an absolute divine creation. We are that which inspires the art we have become awestruck by. We need to see ourselves as the source, the light of love, masterfully achieving brilliance, with dimension and clarity, in our own life.

 

Michelangelo worked knowing the image of David was already in the block of stone. Our pure essence is also found within a block of stone called our life. Chipping away the layers of stone, freeing what he knew to be already there, is how we must free ourselves from the darkness created by our mind’s own perception. As we become free, our hearts will begin to radiate so completely that we will finally see our full selves for our self…once and for all. And it will be for all, as just one realization will begin a cosmic cascading of fully aware dominos, illuminating the closest student to become the next teacher… and so on.

 

Michelangelo chose the subject of this work from the Old Testament story of David and Goliath, in which the young David, future king of Israel, flings a stone from his slingshot to kill the giant Goliath. In his success he then saves his nation. The statue represents not only the daring spirit of the young hero but also of Michelangelo himself. He established himself as a master and hero with this work. When art imitates life and lives imitate art, love is at work. Our goal is now to be at work, committed to love. Love will once again transcend itself, to become the dedication of taking one determined step after another away from our Ego to move in the direction of our true self. It is on this path we will heroically stand and face the memory of our divinity and dare our selves to realize the truth of who we are.

When Michelangelo worked he would naturally sweat. The mind’s thinking has also become hard work because of its requirement to arduously gather evidence to support our Ego. In the past our natural state has been sustained by the work of the Ego and we would develop a similar condition to attract. While Michelangelo created, the marble dust would mix to become mire that would splatter all over his face and body. As dust would continue to cover him, he would begin to resemble that which he was creating. Just like Michelangelo, the Ego’s work creates as each thought acts and exists as a vibration. Each thought we have is literally a magnet to then stick to us, creating who we are in each moment. As Ego finds more evidence, we experience the old emotion which attracts more of the same result. Are you a replicated version of an illusion of thoughts from the past, or a unique creation honored by present moment awareness for your immense magnitude and purpose?

We know his method was to chip away to reveal the greatness of David. Imagine each day as he would honor that which was chipped away by seeing it, understanding it and at the same time knowing it was to reveal the greatness of David. It may have been a momentary illusion that the dust of David he was covered in created the greatness of Michelangelo. We believe he could see for himself as he would clean up for the day, pieces of stone covering his own greatness that he also needed to cast away. We are here to realize that exact same process. Our tools will be the mind and our intention. Our creation will be ourselves as awe-inspiring. We will become masters of controlling the only stream of thought that holds the truth. This stream of thought with its own intention is love.

What were the intentions Michelangelo used each day to achieve his masterpiece? Let’s trust, while he was working, his single minded focus was seeing David explicated by thoughts and beliefs of who he was as his highest or pure self. How often do we do this for ourselves and for others? What would David have looked like if he was thought of for all the trite miscommunications, wrong doings, should haves, or didn’ts? We must adopt this same single minded focus to retrain our brain to remember its brilliance as it radiates exacting thoughts of love towards ourselves and others. What would our life look like if you wiped everyone’s slate clean? Who would we become? The slate while in this presence of now, now free of all judgments would become a sparkling frame to mirror the light of love back to us, as us.

The challenge will be to reclaim the parts of our selves that fear and pain have in their grips, by seeing all experiences for what they have truly been. We will do this by revisiting significant memories in the presence of love. By moving fear and pain into the presence of love we will see each experience as it was intended. Each experience will transform itself from an energetic block to a free flowing force that will ultimately have us choose to take a stand or not, for love. We will release the experiences, no longer our destiny but our way of deciding, to allow our true essence to be fully restored. We will not only become dazzlingly lit but will reveal a beauty reserved for our personal and universal elation.




Excited about the 40 day challenge!- join the The Artistry of Living!!

What is ART- Awareness Realizing Transformation

When we feel a response to art, we are experiencing an intelligence which is beyond our individual self, a sense of some unseen source, a field of information that begins a remembering of profound insights. This remembrance becomes a resonance of vibration. When it is realized it finds and connects to its source which is at the heart of all creation. With each feeling is the creation of a bond from the physical to the nonphysical allowing a new awareness into this field we cannot see. It happens in direct relationship to what it is we are seeing, experiencing or hearing.

The Greeks said music and astronomy were two sides of the same coin. They said astronomy was seen as the study of relationships between observable, permanent, external objects, and music was seen as the study of relationships between invisible, internal, and hidden objects. We know this must be true of all art. Art exists to find ways of communicating which in turn has ways of finding the unseen stirring up pieces and places deep inside our hearts and souls. Simultaneously it stirs up understandings of the infinite unseen pieces and places within the universe. Art has us feel a force which connects us to source and all that is. This force that connects us to source does so by way of the inspiration from all of to find ways to communicate profoudly with all that is. Without this agreement we would not be here and nor would we have reason to survive.

This is not esoteric and not meant to appear mysterious. Art plays its part in the survival of the life force of the human spirit. When we tap into this this field of the unseen we make sense of who we are. To interact with it, is the only way we know we are alive and that our life has meaning. As we boldly reclaim the artist, we take a stand for humanity. To feel and know our true value is to express and create in every area of our life from our unique expression, the Artist. How do we begin? We first understand art as we know it. Looking back in history and even presently we have war, loss, devistation, torture and starvation. The darkest of times have still produced poetry, music, and visual art. So much of what we now revere as Art has been given to humanity from situations of terror like concentration camps or prisons. If in the places where the only focus is on survival and the bare necessities that art lives, it must be then essential to all of life. Art in the traditional sense must be embraced as a neccessity, seen an essential vital form of unseen communication and the essence to nurture our exsistance. It is the place we go to difficult times and also what we do as an expression of the way out of the same difficult times. As we somehow instinctively reach deep within we find our self infinitely at the edge of all thought and reason. Here we find a new understanding and with each new understanding we all miraculously understand somehow.

Let us all allow Art to stand in its fullness and as we do we can begin to stand in our own. Let us all release the thought that Art is a lavish luxury, a hobby, amusement or a passed time. Let us declare that Art is a basic need of human survival and a way we make sense of our lives. Let us realise it is one of the ways in which we express feelings when we have no visible words. Let it be known as a way for us to understand things within the depths of our beings when our minds get stuck on what we can only see. Let art becomes a therapist for the human soul. What if we created Art to be a mystical version of a chiropractor, or physical therapist? As art communicates through vibrations of colour, sound and ideas it seems to find the places we need to make sense of inside. It is how we respond by feeling that we get back in balance or aligned again. Once the feeling has been felt we seem to come into harmony within ourselves. As we become harmonious or in tune with ourselves we become restored, healthy, and happy and well. Being harmonious opens us to serve others for humanities highest good and in ways we may not even have thought of yet.

The communication from art aids humanity as it focuss on the unseen, that harmonious truth that is the entire universe. We must each see ourselves within this formation of art and as that a gift to the universe through our unique expression. It also must be understood that what we give will be openend and yet it will be in divine time, cherished by the universe with whom we create, never judged for its value or for its importance. Each choice and action from each, each piece of art we tune into must be seen in perfect balance of all that is and equal in its importance. It is from here can we begin our life as artists. So let us begin to practice the practice of mastering peace. It is the peace within the self that arises from understanding our true value, beauty and purpose. What we see is in reponse to what is being called into balance. This awareness if Artistry.

We call great Artists Masters. We also call those who have astounding comprehension of the Universe Masters. Both work in the awaresness of the unseen and know as they focus on that their work has meaning and is eternal. When we focus on what is seen we will experience work and all its reflections as ephemeral. Short lived is also the happiness from the results so we keep working and working or we give up because we never end up having the awareness which holds the true meaning of life. When we begin tapping into the awareness of the unseen, our work will feel like play and its joy will have it feel urgent, important and gratifying. Awarenesses could be the hope and faith that someone's life is enriched from the service or product we are offering or creating. All of a sudden work matters as we see it through the awareness it is mattering. When work is created through awareness, also when it is loved for all it is, it really matters. As we can watch the outcome of each task take form as thoughts of purpose shape and mold it, we are true visionaries and artists. Love is the awareness that makes life matter; it literally has it take form for us to see. It is when we see from that perspective and inclusion that life makes sense. When we work and love we come to life and live know unity and eternity are one and the same as we. We are also are one and the same, our actions and thoughts are eternal. Everything we do does make a difference and changes all that is.

Now the work and play begins. We do not only expect you of master your piece, we you to expect you to remember its importance. We all know harmony, peace, mutual understanding, and equality of fairness. If we wait for government, religion or a corporation to lead us we will never see the leader within that holds the truth. The future of peace for humankind is within the understanding of how these unseen and seen pieces fit together. Artists know this to be true, that is what we do. We master the unseen and all its awarenesses. We see and know them and have everything else guide us to them. So we are all artists. Remember as we feel a melody, see an image, or allow a movement to touch us we connect to its unseen source. As we connect to this source we remember we are a medley, a vibrational being of color and sound. In this place we truly are the artists and visionaries of our world. Our movements and the way we touch become a dance, an expression which is pure and unique. We remember this source and force is the medium from which we all create. It is simply, easily and profoundly "Love". This is where we realize transformation.

Simply, artistry is remembering we are Love and the source of everything known to be is Love. When we remember this, we see life clearly and know that all is well. When we are able to visit life with neutrality, each experience can be seen as an expression of Love. It is in these moments, when we feel and remember Love; we resonate and know its' truth. When we deny Love's presence we lose our ability to access or feel what is real. To create our life as a masterpiece, as the artists, we simply surrender to the unknown, the unseen, and a source of infinite intelligence that lies within connecting eternity to each of us. We open to seek to understand the purpose of all things. Even in the contrasts of life there is purpose. Artists know of contrast, they utilize and accept this. It is why there is black and white, loud and soft, high and low, fast and slow, up and down, dark and light, more and less, movement and motionlessness, despair and joy, fear and love and also solitude and solidarity. It is all available for us to utilize.

Clear the slate of your mind. Snap shut the clapboard of life and slate. I am (your name). Now imagine being the playwright, the director, the actor and the audience all at the same time. Imagine no longer being cast as background or worse yet, not even getting a part. Imagine your story, your dream and you being the star. Now imagine projecting your story, your dream onto the screen of your life. See each person in your life as a character playing a role that is offered with a gift. See each part as serving and supporting your life, your story in some way. We are all in a continuous story, a story that is all about Love. When we are able to access the Artist within we restore our authority, our understanding and our power as the creator of our life. When we are able to do this… the fun begins!

We are the artists of our life. What we dream is possible. Who we are is magnificent! We are all creative, fabulous, talented Artists here to perform our grandest expression that is everything we are. You are a Master- Peace! As children we knew and remembered this. We knew each moment was all about creation, imagination and play. We can now unite work and play to reveal "way" as the way. The way is for us all to return to the playgrounds of our childhood and imagine our life as a dream. The way is playing, practicing and performing with the unseen. Wake up, and come back to life to live as love. Please come back out to play!!!!
