Being a woman with a hearing disability, I look for ways to communicate better. I learned about six years ago how to quiet my mind when engaging in conversation.
It’s amazing how much clearer the communication is for both parties!
The discussion becomes clearer because my mind is not agreeing or disagreeing or wanting to be elsewhere. The noise in my head no longer interferes with my physical ability to ‘hear’. I respond with my thoughts when it’s my turn to speak.
Three years ago my significant other suddenly decided to buy apple everything; from juices to desserts to the fruit, and he is NOT an apple lover. He noticed the craving for the fruit, so did research on the fruit’s benefits. He found that apples are great for gum infections as it clears them; he had a minor one, which healed without a visit to the dentist.
His inner guidance led him to consuming apples in different forms; this is not the first time we have received an impulse to consume a nutrient or avoid a choice that later on proves to be timely.
From where do we get this guidance? God/Source or an inner radar that we all have?
There are many mysteries in life that the mind cannot decipher, but to this day I have learned to trust my inner guidance. Life flows better when I pay attention than when I ignore the still little voice within me.
Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day. – Zen Proverb
It has been a while that I have posted in this blog. At first, I thought I purposely simplified my online time so I could focus on creating a website that sells inspirational fridge magnets, mouse pads and in the future, posters. Now that the project that took many months of my dedication is complete, I don’t have an excuse to not write.
I admitted to myself tonight that the real reason I have not written is because I have had shifts with my spiritual beliefs.
Or rather I have let GO of most of my beliefs because I realized they were stories. I still enjoy inspirational writing but cannot in good conscience write about what I used to believe.
At this point, all I am truly sure of is that I exist in this moment of now. I am also comfortable with the idea that there is an Intelligence that none of us has seen moving through Life, that love is the answer to everything under the sun, and that perception creates our reality.
It’s not a bad place to be in, but it has simplified my writing and perspective.
Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday! 🙂

Amazing how thinking out of the box turned a freezing day into one with unexpected beauty and creativity.

It’s been a while I have posted in WordPress, but since the year is coming to an end, I thought I would share my thoughts.
This year has been a much better year than 2012, which was the year I suddenly lost my hearing for 3 days. Sometimes blessings come out of traumatic experiences, and in my case, I was forced to stop and reassess how I was treating myself and how I use my time.
Early this year after signing up for an 8 week CBT therapy session, I finally released my ongoing anxiety. Once I clearly understood the root of my anxiety (faulty thinking) it healed. I was stunned by the quick results.
I closed my Facebook page even if I enjoyed posting and inspiring my followers. By doing this, I found more time to do things that add value to my life. I signed up for a 52-week course on mindfulness. It took me four months to be able to find a course that I could join as almost every course required video or skype, which I can’t do. I corresponded with customer service and owners of schools, and no one could accommodate me. With the advance of technology, it shouldn’t be that hard or expensive. Everyone who wants to learn deserves an opportunity to do this.
My goal is to learn mindfulness well enough to be able to develop an online course, and make it accessible to the hearing impaired community.
I am truly looking forward to new adventures with growth and learning, and in helping to make different spiritual programs available to everyone.
I will still be around, posting from time to time and catching up with your posts. 🙂
Love is The Answer
