Practicing PATIENCE keeps me in the flow of my highest good.



One day I drove to the fashion district of Los Angeles to pick up some specific items. My goal was to get there and then get back to the west side before later in the afternoon when traffic would be heavy. As I got to the main street that goes through the middle of the district, I found myself behind an SUV moving at a ridiculously slow speed. Seriously, he was driving under 10 miles per hour, braking very frequently and irregularly as he spoke loudly on his mobile phone while looking out his windows. Over and over, he kept slowing down and almost pulling over before continuing straight. Aaaaargh!! With all disregard to traffic behind him, he was trying (and repeatedly failing) to find his destination. I became increasingly irritated after driving behind him for a few blocks.

What would you do?

I did what many of us would have done and sped around him with a funky look on my face and drove up to my destination about two blocks ahead. When I arrived there, the gate to the parking lot for the store was closed. It was around 11am and I knew that the gate should be open because the store was open. Cars were parked inside the gate in the lot. Frustrated, I hurriedly pulled back onto the street and drove down another block. I paid to park in a public lot and power-walked the block back to the store. As I arrived at the entrance to the store, I saw the parking attendant opening the gate and overheard him explaining to a customer who had been waiting to retrieve her car from inside the gate that he had been in the restroom.

So, folks, you can already guess the moral of this story, right?

Had I simply been patient behind the man in the vehicle in front of me and made my way to the store a few minutes later than I did, the parking lot gate would have been open. I would have saved myself
1. the money I paid for parking,
2. the walk back to the store,
3. the walk from the store back to my car with my bags after shopping,
4. the stress generated in my body from becoming agitated.

Some might even propose that the man on his phone driving in such an absurd manner could have been specifically placed in my day by The Universe to put me exactly where I needed to be. But, in my "infinite wisdom" and ego-furied rush ["Who the hell does this guy think he is? How inconsiderate!!! Doesn't he know I'm driving behind him?!?"], I decided that I would forego all patience and create my own resolve to the situation.

Patience is a tool that allows me to be fully present in each moment.
When I am present, I am most effective in setting, manifesting and allowing  intentions toward my highest good.

Can I find opportunities to be patient today? Can you find opportunities to be patient today?
Can we use those moments to be fully present and open to our highest good?


Affirming All Possibilities for Your Infinite Joy and Abundance,

Why is “Youth Akro Skills" a great way to learn Life Skills?

Why is “Youth Akro Skills" a great way to learn Life Skills ? The United States of America’s National Education Association (NEA) knows that the best way to get students to learn and retain information is to have them being physically active and engaged while learning . “ Teaching that emphasizes active engagement helps students process and retain information. It leads to self-questioning, deeper thinking, and problem solving. Engagement strategies like repetition, trial and error, and posing questions move the brain into active and constructive learning. And such activities can lead to higher student achievement.” - National Education Association Active learning is particularly effective with material that is more abstract and subjective. Active learning also helps bridge language barriers for learners and teachers who speak different native languages from one another. When teaching Life Skills in a 7th grade classroom in Fiji, I get a lot of blank stares from my stu...

Speaking Your Truth, Healing, and the High Value of YOU

Image
Your value that was lost each time that you were violated and each time you were physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually wounded, was only invested . Each time your truth was silenced , every time that someone in your life failed to hear about how you were feeling , you earned interest on your value that had been invested. And each time trying to tell your truth made you unsafe or got you rejected , your interest rate went up . Whenever your emotions and your truth have gone untold, unheard, dishonored, your interest has been compounded . A l l of the value that you once felt you lost is available to you now , with all of the interest it has accumulated over the years. You can access your invested value by hearing your own truth , by being fully present to yourself and by using your adult foundational tools to heal yourself . You heal by knowing and acknowledging that you are now safe . You find your grounding , your foundation. You begin to r...

Manifestation Mastery #1 - Clearing Negative Emotions Toward Myself

Image
In the last Manifestation Mastery Workshop , I shared the Transmute Method for clearing difficult emotions that block manifestations. Some examples are: fear, anger, blame, judgment, worry, guilt, jealousy and victim mentality. This morning as I did my meditation practice and connected deeply into my Spirit and physical body  I  became aware that I was carrying some guilt and judgement toward myself that have been preventing a fuller manifestation of my well-being. I was emotionally triggered because I ate some food yesterday that caused a congestion reaction in my body. I was carrying guilt for allowing myself to be in circumstances where I was not supporting my own health in the past. Some of you may be aware that at various times in my 40 years of life, I experienced health issues including chronic, frequent migraines, cancer and tumor scares, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, chronic fatigue and more. At those times, I used my Divine Creative Power to create guilt ...
