Finding Joy in the Little Things
As I headed off to the market this morning, I realized how much I actually enjoy this simple task. I love walking along browsing all the stalls to see what fruit or vegetables are in season checking the prices and talking with the vendors. People are smiling and talking, the sound of music comes from a gentleman sitting on a chair in the centre of the walkway playing an accordion.

Back to the Future
Ah, home again after a ten day vacation that included a week at a cottage in Prince Edward Island and a few days on the road touring around. It’s always a little tough to get back to routine after being away on a relaxing holiday. But eventually you settle back in and things get back to normal. What is sometimes a little more difficult is to keep that peaceful feeling you so easily felt while away from the hustle and bustle of life and all it’s sometimes chaos.

The Energy of Food
I’m sure I’ve talked before about how other people can feel our energy. It’s not always what we are saying or the volume or tone of our voice that people react to. It’s more often the energy with which the words are spoken.

Beliefs and the Energy They Create
Here I am again, talking about beliefs, but they are such a key ingredient in how we are in the world, that it bears repeating – over and over again! Our belief system is what creates the blueprint for our lives. We watch our parents and those around us as children and we decide what works for others. We then choose which beliefs will work for us and we adopt them as our own. And off we go into the world, armed with everything we think we need to get along. Eventually, we start to realize that things aren’t working out quite the way we expected them to.

Blame
Blame is one of the biggest issues that we come up against in our daily life. We seem to have gotten the idea that the world is there to make us happy. And when that doesn’t happen we lay the blame out in the world as well, through other people, places or events that we think are the cause of our unhappiness. Everything we feel comes from within us. We create it and we live through it.

Change in the World Begins Within
There is always talk about how the world needs to change. There is so much anger and hatred in the world and we all want to see more peace and love spread throughout this earth of ours. We sometimes get stuck in a place of no change because we want to see global change and we don’t believe we can do anything alone to create it. But what if everyone had the same thought? What if we all got stuck in that place and never did anything to shift our own consciousness?

Acceptance
How often do we truly accept what is? We can all probably think of many instances during our day when we do not accept what is. From our hair not going the way we want to getting stuck in traffic and being late for work. Why can we not accept what is? Usually, non-acceptance is accompanied by judgment. Because we are always searching for happiness, love, peace, and contentment in our lives we are always finding ways to control what happens. Because we have certain beliefs, we are always looking for ways to support those beliefs.

Control
Some of us are admitted control freaks, others of us claim that control is just not our thing. But the truth is that we all have ways in which we use control for various reasons. Usually the need to control a person or situation comes from a need or a sense of lack within ourselves.

Identifying With an Image
So what do you think of yourself? We all have certain images of who we are and how we present ourselves to the world. And we all have an image of how the world sees us. When we are small we adopt a set of beliefs that are the driving force behind everything we do in our lives. These beliefs cause us to create certain images of ourselves that we are constantly putting out into the world. “I am a good girl”, “I’m a bad boy”, “I am a victim”, and on and on it goes. Once the image is created, we then act in such a way that validates this image.

What is Beauty?
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But it is also said that beauty comes from within. If these statements are true then it all comes down to our perception and what we, individually, consider beautiful. In order to call something beautiful we often use judgment to disce why one person or thing is beautiful while another is not. Why do we not see everything as beautiful? We are all divine creatures of God and in so being this makes us all beautiful.

The Power of Affirmations
I was always one to not pay much attention to all I’ve read about affirmations seeing them as merely lip service and not of much value in my life. Louise Hay writes a lot about affirmations and is a firm believe in them as are many other teachers and writers. Recently, I attended the I Can Do It Toronto Conference and had the great pleasure to listen to several of the many great teachers that were presenting throughout the weekend.

If at First You Don't Succeed - Accept What Is
Now before you get all upset about the fact that I mean you have to give up, that’s not what this is about. We have great plans for ourselves most of the time and we have a good idea of what we want out of life, where we see our life going and how it will all play out. And most of the time it is with great success, lots of friends, a lovely place to live, a great car and surrounded by family. These are all wonderful aspirations, but what happens if these things do not come to pass?
