As we grow further along on our paths and the still small voice within becomes larger and louder, there will be times when we follow that inner wisdom and honor our truth. And, as we are still finding our way, there will be times when we override that inner voice, superced the imposed images of the mind, and look the other way.
There is a saying- “Don’t put a question mark where God put a period’. Converting God into our higher selves or internal wisdom, we can see where we choose to question that solid ‘yes’ or ‘no’ that’s coming from within and opt instead for the quota of the mind that tends (at this point anyway) to see things a different way. In those times, we are led away from our hearts and further into our heads, where rational and reason appear to save the day. The mind can be so convincing and with determination and conviction, often has us ‘talked into’ doing something that makes us feel like we’re entirely off track.
We may ask ourselves why we chose the wrong road in those times, why we made bad choices, or why we ignored the wisdom of our hearts yet again. And as we’ve grown and expanded into so much more than we were, we may feel especially frustrated with our perceived failure to comply with what seemingly serves our highest good.
It is in those moments that we can choose to exercise even more compassion for ourselves as we grow and learn and evolve. And it is in these moments that we can choose to see our errors as examples of our Truth turned around and as our teachers. For if we continually choose another road than the one we desire, then there’s a nugget of importance at the heart of the choice that need not be overlooked.
We may ask ourselves ‘What is it that’s still serving me in making a choice that goes against my highest good? What incentive is causing me to override my instinct in those moments of doubt? What part of me needs resolve in order to match up with my truth?’
So often this underlying agenda is hidden from view. And as a seed embedded deeply in our unconscious will continue to affect our choices until it is brought to the light for review and made clear. We will continue to replay out the same scenario, the same unconsciousness, until at last we fish for the lesson and separate our selves from the cause. We must ask that the root be brought to our attention in order that we may be set free. And then we must determine the cost of serving our lower agendas and the detriment to our further evolution into our selves.
If you want to be in your integrity and choose higher and honor yourself, but you have a had time saying ‘no’, more than likely you’re invested in protecting yourself form the rejection or wrath of others and the need to belong and be loved is outweighing the pull for self love and supporting your truth. Remember that you no longer need to live in a state of survival, that you are now ready and desiring to shine and thrive. This takes moving beyond the acceptance and approval of others and paying into what brings you most into alignment with your truth.
Be gentle with yourself as you move forward and become more mindful of the aspects at play. As you evolve, the divide will grow between the old way and the new, between the higher and the lower, between consciousness and the mind. And at times when you sense conflict, there will be war within as one aspect becomes stronger and the other vies for strength. The more clear you become on the dynamics of your inner forces, on what drives you on an unconscious level, and begin to dismantle limiting and outdated beliefs, the more into alignment you will become with your higher self.
So ‘going down the wrong road’, ‘being off track’, or ‘making bad choices’ aren’t necessarily what they seem. These supposed ‘off’ times are a great window into what’s driving our choices and an opportunity to see more clearly what still stands in your way. By opening to the lessons of these moments when we seem to be out of the flow, we can find ourselves further along on our paths rather than swimming in remorse or regret or longing to be on track.
We set ourselves free when we allow ourselves to see what’s being presented to us as a gift and a signpost pointing us the right way. Because even the sign that says ‘Dead End’ gives us direction. And as we grow and become more aware of every sign along the way and less afraid that we are getting it wrong, the more sure we become that each step takes us where we mean to go one way of another. Some steps may take us through a roundabout or a loophole, but each step is movement and each step brings awareness when we choose to open to the lessons and divine wisdom it has to offer by looking below the surface of what seems to be so.
There are no mistakes, only misperceptions. See it a different way and watch your world become wide open. As we begin to see the Divine in everything, trust that everything has a purpose, and know that we are fully capable of finding our way- the way becomes known and so much less time is lost on retracing steps and deciphering the way to go.
If you would like help in decoding your inner beliefs and removing the blocks that are in your way, I would be happy to guide you further along on your path. Click here to set up an appointment now.
Wishing you beauty and grace on your journey and the love that lights the way.
In blessing,

The Golden Ticket
What’s your Golden Ticket? What ‘hope for’ are you holding onto or out for? What big ‘want’ that will make it All right are you deeply invested in? A new job? A better relationship? Fortune? Fame? Inspiration? What one thing, or two, or three, are you banking on to bring you the dream? What reigns supreme on your ‘ I believe if I had this I would be happy’ list?
And what if that one thing was completely illusory? What if all the holding out and holding onto of what may never be is what is, in fact, poisoning the waters of your well of contentment? Whatever ‘thing’ we desire is only a state of anticipation and agrandisation of what is, because it is always a wishing, a wanting for it to be a different way than it already is. And as long as we are desiring what is not, we’re neglecting what is. We’re turning our backs on the fullness of the now in all of its completeness and spitting out rather than drinking in the juices of thankfulness for the moments that have birthed themselves into being- right in the here and now -for no other reason than our pleasure.
Every want is pointing us in the direction of ourselves. It says ‘Yes, look at me- I am completely attainable, if you truly believe on every level that you are worthy and that you are One with me, your longing, your need made manifest’. – “ But I am NOT All that you are. I am simply an aspect’, says the ‘thing’- “I am simply a reflection.” And we cannot spend all of our time looking in mirrors. For through them we only see an aspect of what Is, only part of the story.
“It is not through me”, says the want(ed) “that you will access what Is. It is through You.” And the coveted status, potential, companion, pleasure, momentum that you desire is only a stand-in for the original working wisdom that you may excavate within.
Your Golden Ticket is not a person, place, or thing. No thing will bring you to resolution with Self. Your Golden Ticket is gratitude and the sweet embrace of abundance of what Is, of what is current, what is present, what is perfectly placed before you, within you, at this very exact moment in time.
When you take a moment to fill your cup with the blessings that have already been bestowed upon you and the blessings that are abounding to be released from the bounty of gifts you bestow, you will know with full heart and content mind that anything else is just an extra- one more thing to be grateful for, to allow in, to be blessed with. Believe it to be not a need or a want to attain any other or thing in order to be full; in order to meet the mark or bridge the joy. Believe it to be in perfect order, as it Is. As it only can be.
Create the space for completeness in this now, and let it be so. In this, you will know the abundance of not-wanting and of Being in it’s fullest potential. Create the space of love through embracing the All that is present within your life, including your desires, but taking the pressure, the focus, and the expectation off of them to be what brings you peace.
Those elements, those things (all of them) are a piece of the puzzle of what makes you complete, but in them lies not the peace that you seek. Create your now bubble and allow those versions of yourself in your mind that require status, or recognition, or monetary gain, to be nurtured by the presence of you in your Truth. And let that be enough, for Now. Let that be your fullness and your flow. In this ease of being, so much more is born than could ever be attained by grasping or longing. In this ease of being, your Golden Ticket is each Now as it’s unfolding. In gratitude, we are abundant and blessed, and what we disire is never out of reach, because all separation ceases to exist and All simply Is.
In gratitude for each of you,
Sweet love and blessings,

Blessed Be
When we are too hard on ourselves, or our thoughts seem incessant as we are streaming and screening what needs to go, how do we find our way to peace more efficiently? How do we end that cycle before it takes us away from our Selves? How do we extract the essence of the lesson without being submerged in the mud?
Bless it.
That relationship that didn’t work or isn’t working that you can’t take your mind off of or that is revisiting (again and again) from the past -Bless it. That thing you can’t figure out that just wont seem to leave you alone- Bless it. That annoying co-worker or neighbor that’s really go your goat- Bless it. That dilemma that seemingly has no solution- Bless it. Sweet and simple, and leave it at that. Surround it, whatever ‘it’ currently is, with the best and highest intentions. Surround it with light. Remove yourself from any bitterness, resentment, doubt, or confusion, and leave it alone. Step away, my friend, nothing to see here. Just let it be, and let it be blessed. Works wonders, every time, and puts you back in that place of power, of knowing, of peace. It’s a heart-based way of being. And at the same time, it allows you to come from a place of will, instead of being tossed around by the helplessness of not knowing how or what to fix. You are allowing it to be what it is; allowing for the lesson to be hindsight; allowing yourself to break free of the banter in your head. You are honoring you, and honoring it, and honoring everyone else involved. It truly is a liberating and incredible way to be.
We are being submerged in order to purge and we are soon discovering where we’ve had resistance to resolve. We are learning how to shift relentlessness into mindfulness. We are flushing out what needs to heal. We are turning to our integrity as an opportunity to be in authority of our lives. And we are letting go of ways of being that have always been.
So hold on to the glimmer of light in the moments of darkness. Know that they are but moments indeed. See that they are showing us just how deeply our pain has run and how very much of it is self-imposed. When you’re wanting to run, when you’re wanting to scream, you are reaching a breaking point, you are realizing that you just can’t go on with that anymore (and you can’t). That’s not just your head talking, that’s your soul. That’s the point. It needs to go. We can no longer get away with, or get by on, self-sabotage, self-defeat, self-degradation, or negative internal mechanisms that have been our bread and butter for so long. The more we stretch into authenticity, the less compatible all of those old ways of being are and we’re finding that alas those parts of us are dying, in order that we may be free. In order that we may reign sovereign over our own dominion, in order that we may Be.
Loving ourselves whole is what it has all come down to. Loving wide-open and unconditional. Releasing all regret and refrain. Releasing our selves from the expectation of anything. And, for once and for all, just letting ourselves be exactly as we are. Letting all of our experiences be. And coming from a place of wonder, rather than worry. Coming from a place of steady rather than stop-and -go. We are on the main line to living fully. And we are examining anything and everything that’s in the way of that. We are figuring out how to decipher lessons and grow, and how to become more and know on a deeper level. We are taking beck our power and standing in our Truth. And we are finding that even baby steps are rewarded with boundless grace, as we’re being ushered with great assistance into the full awakening of our being.
Are we speaking our truth? Are we standing in our power? Are we in integrity with ourselves? Are we following our dreams? We can’t not be that- any of that- as a force beyond us, and within us, seeks to purge and perfect what ever is out of place. Everything is being put in order for our divine arrival into the now moment of our being. And everything that doesn’t fit is being ushered out the door, soon forgotten, and bid ado. Now is your Now Moment. Take it by the hand and ride the wave, high to low and back around again. It is all only an aspect of what Is. You are it and it is you, and we are All every ounce of it. So learn to Let it Be. And while you’re at it, bless it on by.
In grace,
~Rhonda

The Trusted Companion
Self-trust tosses a whole other demension into the reality of what w’re operating under. For me, this is the skeleton key, the one that unlocks everything, the one that makes it all incredible obvious and suddenly completely opaque.
I read an article about this this morning and it hit me at a profound level, and I thought it might hit you there too. It was a Eureka moment. How could I have missed it?! All this talk of self-love and building a better relationship with self, and there it is-Trust-the key component to any relationship!
So the question I must pose, of course, is ‘Do you trust yourself?’ Are you flexible enough in your I Am relationship with you right now to move beyond all the past mistakes, and their repercussion? All the fear of getting it right and doing it wrong? All the limitations placed because of your self-perceived errors?
Are you ready to put that down and go forward anyway, opening to trust in you, just one more time, or for the first time ever?
Here’s how to gauge your self-trust level and determine your current status. Do you trust you to make decisions or are you second-guessing all the time? Do you trust in you to live out your dreams and really make ‘it’ happen, or do you doubt it will ever come true? Do you question yourself more than you confirm? Do you cancel out more than you complete? Do you spend lots of time lost in regret or wondering how to do it better, do it over, get it right? DO you know how to distinguish between the voice in your heart and the one in your head? Are you I constant judgment of yourself just to try to ensure that you don’t flub something up?
Do the math. Where do you stand? Do you dare take the leap and offer up a handshake of trust. And by doing so agree to believe in you, and agree to believe that everything’s going to be ok. And you know that you are one hundred percent capable, when you are. And when you’re not, that’s ok too. Because trust is like faith. It has something of an inherent guarantee, a component of security in the unknown, and a lack of need to know, really. Because in the end, it’s All Good (God).
So evaluate your trust-ability in you, in God, in the Higher Plan- it’s all the same. Break it down for yourself a bit though, as you’re factoring your equation. Where exactly does your lack of trust lie? Can you name it? Is it across the board? Is it serving you? What would it hurt (in comparison) if you did it differently? Feel, for a moment, how it feel to trust yourself right now, to open to the possibilities within that? Notice any change in you in that trusted place? Notice any difference in your life within that scenerio?
Realize that this leap of faith is going to take some forgiveness, some willingness to let go of any pain caused by the leftover letdowns of the past. But harboring when is impairing you and your ability to move freely and fully within the horizon of Who You Are.
So take a chance on you. Trust that you can handle it,. And know that no matter what-it all comes down to one Truth, and that Truth is Love. What better way to love yourself into reunion with you than to begin trusting in you now? How much better does any relationship operate when trust is explicit? Are you ready for that shift in your inner dynamic? Dive in. Your Self is waiting.
All toward making it easier on ourselves as we move forward into all of our expansiveness and glory!
Be Light!
Love to you,
~Rhonda

House of Mirrors and Diagnostics.
Although everything in life is a reflection, we are, at a much more conscious level, interpreting what is being mirrored as something we either want to maintain and continue, or more likely, something that’s our-dated and past due for inspection and repair. We are being forced to look at all of our parts. And by that, I mean our extensions into our world- our relationships, our living situations, our jobs, our ways of being towards ourselves as well as towards others. And through this integration of the soul, we are learning how to discern what of it is a lesson, and what need be well enough left alone.
We have operated on monkey mind for a millennium, but going forth on monkey mind mentality is proving unattainable. The volume has been turned up in order to experience on a much deeper level and an in-your-face fashion the order of the day. We are abruptly feeling the effects of our relationships with ourselves as suddenly, more than ever, it becomes apparent that all things point back to that one center.
And as we grapple for old ways of solving, dated ways of combating the mind, and just plain start running scared, it is the running that’s coming into ever clearer focus. The running of mental tapes topped high with impurities and poor resolution. Then somehow we begin to take stock and realize that we need to stop running, that it is the running that needs to end. Physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally- on on levels- we are exausted. And we are realizing how much of our precious time, energy and resources are being poured into the self-maintenance and continual feeding of a way of being that has gotten us nowhere for a very long time.
By the grace of God, or moments of good fortune, we are grabbing onto conscious bubbles of awareness like ner before, and are catching ourselves mid mental-tantrum and choosing dirrerently. We are remembering more in the moments of dobt or self-reproach that we are the Light, that we have tools, that we are not our thoughts, and that we can step off that track that has built up so much momentum. And as we do, the easier it becomes every time.
Our thoughts and emotions are vigorously reflecting what doesn’t match up with our truth. And it feels like we’re falling into rabbit holes at times as the strength and intensity of the process ensues. It’s important to remember that it all really is a dream, and that in your dream, nothing can hurt you, unless you let it.
We give such authority to those voices in our heads that judge and condemn and we feed right into the banter, believing what is said and internalizing the repetitive, sometimes venomous critique forty times over. Until we find that we simply can’t stomach it and we start pounding on the doors, walls, and windows in search of a way beyond the madness that we have created for ourselves to escape.
It’s a whole other world in our heads. It seems our mind is of it’s own dominion and that we are powerless in overcoming it’s forceful agenda. It seems off kilter to do the dual on such a fearsome level, knowing we have stepped higher and higher into our spiritual domain. But the powerful force we feel and the spell we’ve gone under is that of the wounded child within who’s screaming for justice. We have held that child captive with our high-standard impossibilities and have drowned her in the despair of never being good enough or worthy of our love. We have withheld our loving embrace as we’eve antagonized her further into becoming our version of what is enough, without ever opening to her, or listening to her, or accepting her totally, simply for who she is.
And so when our thoughts start reaming and to the forefront comes regret, revisions, reproach, also comes the rage an the so-long-stuffed sadness of the child who can no longer hold it in.
And we don’t want it in there anyway. It’s contaminant, it’s toxic, it’s in every way out of alignment with the truth of who we are and what we’re reaching for. But to deny that it’s there is becoming impossible, as everything’s rising to the surface for review. And if we stop long enough to center, we will begin to sense and see that this wounded child is in many ways our lighthouse, showing us the error of our ways so that we can usurp what’s been unattended and find a better way.
Allow your soul to light the way as you travel onward into the night and ever further into the glory of who you are.
Be Love!
Great blessings,
Rhonda

The volume has been turned up in order to experience on a much deeper level and an in-your-face fashion the order of the day. We are abruptly feeling the effects of our relationships with ourselves as suddenly, more than ever, it becomes apparent that all things point back to that one center.
And as we grapple for old ways of solving, dated ways of combating the mind, and just plain start running scared, it is the running that’s coming into ever clearer focus. The running of mental tapes topped high with impurities and poor resolution. Then somehow we begin to take stock and realize that we need to stop running, that it is the running that needs to end. Physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally- on on levels- we are exausted. And we are realizing how much of our precious time, energy and resources are being poured into the self-maintenance and continual feeding of a way of being that has gotten us nowhere for a very long time.
By the grace of God, or moments of good fortune, we are grabbing onto conscious bubbles of awareness like ner before, and are catching ourselves mid mental-tantrum and choosing dirrerently. We are remembering more in the moments of dobt or self-reproach that we are the Light, that we have tools, that we are not our thoughts, and that we can step off that track that has built up so much momentum. And as we do, the easier it becomes every time.
Our thoughts and emotions are vigorously reflecting what doesn’t match up with our truth. And it feels like we’re falling into rabbit holes at times as the strength and intensity of the process ensues. It’s important to remember that it all really is a dream, and that in your dream, nothing can hurt you, unless you let it.
We give such authority to those voices in our heads that judge and condemn and we feed right into the banter, believing what is said and internalizing the repetitive, sometimes venomous critique forty times over. Until we find that we simply can’t stomach it and we start pounding on the doors, walls, and windows in search of a way beyond the madness that we have created for ourselves to escape.
It’s a whole other world in our heads. It seems our mind is of it’s own dominion and that we are powerless in overcoming it’s forceful agenda. It seems off kilter to do the dual on such a fearsome level, knowing we have stepped higher and higher into our spiritual domain. But the powerful force we feel and the spell we’ve gone under is that of the wounded child within who’s screaming for justice. We have held that child captive with our high-standard impossibilities and have drowned her in the despair of never being good enough or worthy of our love. We have withheld our loving embrace as we’eve antagonized her further into becoming our version of what is enough, without ever opening to her, or listening to her, or accepting her totally, simply for who she is.
And so when our thoughts start reaming and to the forefront comes regret, revisions, reproach, also comes the rage an the so-long-stuffed sadness of the child who can no longer hold it in.
And we don’t want it in there anyway. It’s contaminant, it’s toxic, it’s in every way out of alignment with the truth of who we are and what we’re reaching for. But to deny that it’s there is becoming impossible, as everything’s rising to the surface for review. And if we stop long enough to center, we will begin to sense and see that this wounded child is in many ways our lighthouse, showing us the error of our ways so that we can usurp what’s been unattended and find a better way.
Allow your soul to light the way as you travel onward into the night and ever further into the glory of who you are.
Be Love!
Great blessings,
Rhonda

The Flip Side of Self-Protection
As we move further into consciousness, we are being asked to no longer blindly, or unconsciously, protect based on fears, old pain, and in support of walls long-ago erected. As we grow, we are being nudged into protecting as a responsibility, from an unwounded place, a place of clarity and strength. Grab on to your Truth and pull from there. You aren’t your pain, but when it’s really insisting on your attention it’s time to listen, to face the beast and look it strait in the eyes. When it’s this close and personal there’s no going around it. You have to go through. But don’t get caught in the vortex that can take you down into a tailspin. Look it in the eye, realize you are enough (brave enough, strong enough, smart enough, worthy) to overcome what stands in your way.
And if it’s blocking your path and making it clear that you’re going to have to reckon with it, understand this is your work right now. The flow has been interrupted because the energy in the way needs to be removed. In order to remove the energy, to overcome what stands in your way, you have to get to the heart of it. You have to comprehend its nature. You have to decipher the code before you can pass into the next chamber of your evolution. This can’t be done by allowing it to throw you off balance. It can only be done by retrieving your strength, standing in your truth, and loving yourself forward-loving yourself whole. You are being taken to such a deep level with it so that you can see how much the unconscious stuff is still effecting you. You have to go to the heart of it, deeper than the thoughts, and realized that the theme is something that you need to excavate in order to be unlimited and true and fully in joy. You have to embrace the message in order for it to go. But first you have to take the question into your heart.
So there’s an element of tough love involved here as you disengage from the power struggle within and demand that a) the parts of you that are seeking dominion cease and desist, and b) the part of you that is consciousness, that is sovereign, that is truth, steps up to the plate and confronts that which is reeking havoc. Here’s where the updated armor comes in. This armor is about protecting your self, in many ways, from yourself. Up till now, we have projected the ‘enemy’ as being somewhere ‘out there’. But along the way of this journey, we will come to see that the biggest enemy, the most treacherous and deceitful by far, has been the one within. And as it all comes full circle, we are being redirected to the relationship we have with our own selves. For in order to move forward in our endeavors, to becomes open in communion with others, to be truly joyful and fulfilled, we have to release ourselves from our self-imposed prisons and break free of the ways of being that have kept us stuck. It is about setting boundaries with the part of you that is acting out and placing limits on what you will allow and wont. It’s about not allowing yourself to be pulled under by the guilt, doubt, resentment, but instead becoming in tune to what it’s telling you. This is the process of becoming conscious and learning to quiet the unconscious by facing it rather than running, leaning forward rather than holding back, and mastering your emotions, rather than being ruled by them.
In essence, we are protecting our selves from the harsh elements of the unconscious. We truly have no idea of the scope of deception we are facing, until we enter the castle where no souls have been imposed. So much of what we say and do to ourselves is completely unconscious. The unconscious governs this aspect of us, the one that deceives, demeans, dichotomizes, and distracts the self through worry, doubt, feelings of resentment and regret, and negative head spins. None of this is loving. Yet there is this theme, or undercurrent to the self-reproach, telling us that it is for our highest good, that by climbing into the loop and retracing the groove in our heads, we will learn something, we will understand how ‘not’ to be whatever we are reprimanding ourselves for. This, sweet ones, is the deception. For there is no way through that door, in fact there is no door there to begin with. You can’t solve something by operating in the energy that it was created.
It is though clear though that this ‘aspect’ of ourselves wants us to learn something. It’s speaking too loudly for us not to hear. And if we can extract ourselves from the loop log enough to ask with our hearts (very important not to continue the dialogue in our heads)- but bring it into the heart and then ask ‘what is it I need to know?’ “What is the gift in this?’ There is a valuable gift, a treasure, a jewel, to be had when we determine the rules of the game. When we are suffering or under duress; when we are at war with ourselves and playing out the vicious cycles in our heads; when we feel we have gone to our depths, we are being given the opportunity to rise higher.
We are being groomed in ways to do it different, to be heart-based, integrity-centered, and power-filled creators in our worlds. This means that we must learn to navigate the perceived dangers within and without and establish what in fact is a threat and what is only serving as an illusion. There are thoughts and feelings and life experiences that you can slice through and disable by realizing the truth, by rearranging you perspective to allow for the possibility that these are not serving you. But there are also those that won’t so easily move aside, or are just down-right gripping, that are here to teach us. They are here to point the way. Just remember not to get swallowed by the signpost. You will begin to learn how to discern when to stay and when to go. And in this, you will better be able to honor and appreciate your progress. You will begin to see that you must stop along the river of your path and polish the stones that have hindered your flow.
So, in the face of regret, ask what is it I have lost? What experience has escaped me? What am I missing out on? What am I sacrificing over and again that my ‘regret’ is bringing to my attention? Are you not participating fully in life and missing out on making new memories? In the face of doubt, Are you cowering and not standing in our power too often and have been for too long? Have you missed the chance to be solid in who you truly are? In the face of guilt, are you ignoring or overriding the inner voice that guides you and missing out on the connection to your higher self, while inadvertently making the path harder than it needs to be? Trace it to the heart of what’s speaking to you. What’s the big message? What really needs your attention and correction? Zoom in and step over the barrage so that you can see clearly and consciously make a difference rather than continuing to get caught in the trap. The message will only get louder as the need to extend consciousness throughout your being increases and the drive to become whole ensues.
Aloneness, separateness, and isolation are all core issues that we are releasing. We are feeling them so that we can be aware of their presence in our consciousness/unconsciousness, and so that we can embrace (love the part that needs healing) and release them. Some things can be released. Some things, the really old, deep stuff, seems to need to be held, acknowledged, and loved before it will go. We need to look it in the eye and see it for what it is, on a deep soul level, from a heart place, before it will transcend, before we can transcend, and be released from it.
We're learning how to find our way through and love our selves whole again. And we're doing it by standing in our power and living from our truth. We are finding our way to wholeness and creating the space for the flow. We are becoming stronger every day, even in and especially in the face of adversity. And as we stand in our integrity and face our fears and demons, they become a source of love and power, and we become more. Your sword is your truth, your armor is love, your way forward is integration. Be encouraged, be proud of how far you have come, and be solid in the strength and wisdom of who you truly are.
Upward and onward!
Love to you on your path!

Heart-Based Vision
Compassion is a heart-based virtue. It means to come from our hearts and to live from that place. The compassion we hold for ourselves and for the world around us allows us to see things from a different lens, from a more complete perspective. And as our view is broadened, to include a wider scope of what Is, we allow ourselves to love in a greater way. We allow for our grander version of our love-filled selves to shine through, knowing that it is not about protection, as we’ve held for so long, but rather it is everything to do with perseption.
It is our view. And in releasing the particles of our critical nature, our eyes open to a truth we previously didn’t perceive. We are expanded in a new way, and the light of day shines upon us as it never has before. Our inhibitions go unspoken as they melt away, and everything that really meant something before, that we held so fast to, no longer means anything at all. We see differently here, in this heart-based vortex, and suddenly we are different too.
In compassion, we remove the blinders, the barriers, the n-truths, and we slip into the great wide-open. We step in purpose, as we see our power in affecting another, in bringing love to their world, their moment, their day. And we see how that is the essence of our grandest purpose. The light-shining, love-filled beings that we are, emanating our truth through our capacity to see on a whole new level, on a divine level, and create change and wholeness and new life in ways we had never dreamed of.
We become unstoppable, unmovable, and filled with grace as our heart-based actions replace our fear-filled minds. And the substitution for what Is is wholly based on a constitution of what is Love, as it becomes clear that there is no other thing.
Through this, we begin to make higher choices, conscious choices, that sustain and support our goodness, our vibrancy, and our wealth of being. Through this, we transcend that which has held us separate and that which has held us down.
In this revelation of our Oneness, of our All facing and feeling the joy and the pain, we encompass a wholeness we had not yet known. And it is a staple to the environment of our new way of being. We see others experiencing their journeys in this human form and we see that we are that soul too. We are no different, we are them, we are All. And through their eyes we see, when we open to the greater vision of truth and expand beyond the restraint of the tapestry that has been woven as a protective measure and means of constriction from the flow.
Flowing through you is the light, and flowing from you it shall be, as you beckon the call of everlasting wisdom of compassion. It softens and warms and illuminates and opens the gateway of grace. And in compassion, there is an outpouring of gratitude for All of Life, an appreciation for this experience exactly as it is, and for the wonder of nature and all that it brings forth.
Compassion seeks not to change, but rather to embrace. It wraps its loving arms around all that it encounters and washes it with tenderness and complete acceptance. It is grateful for the window of wisdom that comes from the broad-range view of the heart-based perspective. And it has the power to make all things new.
All trepidation is lost in the eyes of this window, as through this lens all things are seen as new, in their fullest potential, in their essence of pure perfection. And in this state of grace, there is an outpouring of peace as one becomes One with everything and comes to understand at a deep core level that it never has been and never will be another way.
Flow from your heart of compassion and walk in grace as you come into the light of your being and radiate the truth of who you are.
Of love,
~Rhonda
