Where you put your attention is where your creativity flows. If you are focusing on, or following the stream of thoughts that don’t serve you, you are sending you power in that direction. By giving your power away to lower thoughts, you become servant to them. You become lost in the train of them. When you become lost, you are not present. When you are not present, you are not consciously aware. And when you are not consciously aware, you are not operating from your highest self.
Here’s how you can flip this. As the thoughts arise, and you are triggered into reaction, stay present- don’t run away with them. Prepare yourself for this by knowing that triggers abound right now. In other words- expect them-and when they show up, do it differently. Be in the moment with it and let it offer you a teaching. What is it wanting to show you about this element of you, this belief system you’ve carried as yours for oh too long now? Truth is wanting to shine the light on it in a way that’s never been done before.
Up till now, it’s been like having a nightmare, where you are rattled by something and left with this uneasy lack of understanding of what you’ve experienced but are haunted by. Up until now, your triggers, or belief systems, and ways of being that are rooted in something other than your truth have surfaced time and again for the same purpose as now-to be excavated. But this time there is this undeniable aspect of light shining in on them, exposing them for that they truly are, and loosening their grip over you, so you can, at very long last, move forward.
This is surely cause for celebration as we embark on this grand movement toward conscious freedom. For as in comparing the dream state to the wake, all things are different in the light of day.
So now is your time to do it another way. In breaking a habitual way of being, it will take some effort and some awareness. You will have to become intentional in your response to life, to your triggers, to you self. You will have to moderate your tendencies. You will have to become responsible for you.
This, my loved ones, is a rite of passage~ an initiation into Truth. And, as with any rite of passage or great transition, you are needing to undergo a purification in preparation for embarking on the next level of sacredness in your life.
So, as you are purifying and allowing your way to become new, you will be reminded of certain life tools that will come in handy. As you come to terms with and are en-lightened by old beliefs, you will find that you might need a little assistance in disposing of all the residual build up and debris that’s accumulated over the years as ‘off’ thoughts took up space in your being. Here, you will come to understand the ‘co’ in conscious co-creating. Know that we weren’t meant to do it alone. Yes, we need to do our part, but there are things that we can’t do, and aren’t meant to. And this is a journey WITH the Divine, so we must allow the Divine to do it’s share.
When we realize that we are ready to put down the heavy burden of the baggage we’ve been carrying, we can simply give it over in whichever direction feels right. You can give it over to Mother Earth, and let your debris become fertilizer as you let her support you, as mothers do, on your forward movement. You can give it to the angels, and watch them take hold of your worries or tribulations and, on wings, carry it all away. You can give it directly to God, consecrating your relationship with the Creator of All that Is through the process of surrender, knowing He wants what’s best for you and He will, in any moment, carry what’s become too heavy for you to bare.
It is us that get in the way of the giving. Like a child, we feel so resistant to asking for help. We’re wanting to do it all ourselves. And you may find that even when you do surrender, you will catch yourself still holding on tight, or grabbing it back a short time later. It’s our nature to be independent and it’s a re-learning to do it in tandem, But that is the point of the journey- to reunite with Divinity. And the point is not just to know the Divine, but to work intimately in your life WITH the Divine, to create your world with the Divine, and to envelop the Divine as your truth. And so, this is the lesson at hand.
Happy Initiation!

Life as a Teacher, Guilt as a Guide
In every moment, from the lessons that are presenting themselves, we have the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to become more. Often we get lost in the translation. We get caught up in the roles the players are playing or the scenery or the stage, forsaking the wisdom, the pearl, as we focus instead on the shell that encompasses it.
I invite you to open to the lessons that are unfolding before you. I ask that you speak to the guilt, or the worry, the anger, the pain, that may arise in your day and ask it to tell you its story.
If guilt is replaying itself in your head, understand that it is simply sorrow over should-haves and it is trying to get your attention in order to show you where you have given away your power or as insight into where you are on your soul scale of growth and how much you’ve matched up to your scale of priorities.
If we step away from, without forsaking, the details and the emotion long enough we can catch the glimpse of wisdom that’s broadcasting into awareness. And from this place of renewed perspective, can we become grateful and cleansed by the knowing that we got it-we caught that fly ball- and we can move forward in the game.
We can have fun in this game if we step back a bit and play decoder of messages with the curiosity and the abandon of a child, rather than the serious contemplation of adulthood that carries us away from our truth, making hearts heavy and minds spinning dizzy.
Play the game. Don’t work it. Exude the spirit of inquisitiveness and creative master. Step away from the grind of what’s speaking to you when it becomes incessant and hear what it has to say. The feelings are just bleep on your radar-here to get your attention, to alert you to the lesson at hand or gone by.
Retract your anger or resentment of another or a situation and focus full-heartedly at the soul-speak of the wisdom being revealed. Focus within, with love, and know that you are being guided. When you become conscious of the power of perspective, you can choose to see what’s happening in your world as one of life’s great lessons propelling you forward, or you can remain unconscious and see it as a calamity.
You can change your game in this moment and decide that you are an active participant, playing on purpose, deciding at will, and determined to win. Your prize is wholeness and peace of mind, and the perspective of those who achieve.
Are you ready for greatness? Get your game on, and delete defeat.
In honor of you,
Rhonda

To Be or Not To Be (part five)
What to do when you still just can’t decide what to do? Here are some tips from the Source…
Take a time out. Take some time with you away from the situation. It’s ok to put it down for a while and come back later. If you do, you’ll come back fresh and ready to see things from a new perspective. Give your self a break and let God do the heavy lifting for a change.
Be Guided. Listen. Be still and you’ll receive the guidance about what’s really going on. It may not be what you think. We’re all on our own soul journey, so keep in mind that lots of aspects are at play, on your path as well as others.
Be Inspired. Refresh yourself with something that comforts your sense of what’s important. This will give you a sense of strength, remind you what really counts, and give you more solid ground to operate on.
Release. Set it free and see if it comes back to you. Honor the other for all they’ve been and done for you and bless them in love. Then let whatever needs to be BE.
Be grounded. Get solid in your Truth and set some boundaries. Know that boundary-setting is an act of love of self, and that those who love you will respect the lines you draw. Let those who don’t fall away, and let the relationship be redefined by who you are now and where you are going, rather than where you have been. If it’s stretchable, it’s sustainable. If not, better broken now than later anyway.
Lighten Up. We don’t realize how much of a weight worry is. When we’re overly concerned with how someone will react to who we are or what we choose, we are placing undue burden on ourselves. When we release the perimeters we’ve placed around our Truth and come from a place of I AM, we can allow our authenticity to dictate who will stay and who will go. If it’s not a match-if someone can’t contend with our Truth-then the barometer has been set and the relationship will either wither or grow.
FLY. Haven’t your wings been clipped long enough? Time to exert wiggle room and shake it out. Making room for you in your life just may mean that the space old relationships used to hold now needs to be used for the larger-version reflection of you.
In expansion there is constant shift. Relationships are no exception. Let it roll and be prepared to welcome a more custom-fit array of playmates and companions, which may show up as new friends or may come through in the inspired-by-you-to-expand old.
In Peace,
Rhonda

The Nature of Conflict (part four)
The nature of conflict is constriction. Constriction is tightening and resistance. It is felt by you on all levels when it arises in your life. What you need to discern is the nature of the conflict, and then you can again begin to move freely.
When there appears to be a situation that is undesirable or uncomfortable, something that doesn’t match up with that ‘feel good’ place of your truth, then something in you forms a knot. The idea of conflict presents the idea of confrontation. It is in our nature to fix, or alleviate, what is causing us pain. And so we feel, when we have been wronged, that we must ‘make right’ by correcting another.
For most of us, the idea of confrontation is uneasy. It represents battle and we would rather lean towards peace. Our outer conflict becomes ever-more internal then, as our minds rally for justice and our hearts long for subtler pacification. We want to stand up for our selves when we’ve been wronged and we feel the need to give voice to our indignation. But the idea of creating more tension within the situation and the possibility of abandon keeps us immobilized and therefore even more split in the context of peace. It is here that many become lost in their heads and tormented by ghosts of past ill-fated relationship conflicts and paralyzed by the oh-so-real-seeming drama of played out possibilities to come.
It can be difficult to discern from which the pain is greater. Is it conflict within the relationship that’s bringing you more pain or is it the division that’s been created within you?
When we find ourselves lost in the ‘solution’, eagerly trying to dampen the unrest, it’s an excellent time to withdraw from the situation, withdraw from our own heads, and find our place of center. No right outcome will transpire from a place of disconnect. When you have lost your center, you have become disconnected from Source. Only from a place of peace can you derive balance and a satisfying outcome.
It’s important to ask yourself if the relationship is reflecting your own polarity. Do your values match up with the way that you allow others to treat you? Are your outer relationships reflecting what’s within? How true are you to you?
Ultimately, it is up to you to show others how to treat you. If you feel like you’ve been wronged, perhaps it’s a mirror of where you’re not in right relationship with yourself. That foundation, that cornerstone of you loving you, you honoring Truth, is where all relationships are based. So ask your self if what you’re seeing in a relationship isn’t lacking because you haven’t laid the ground for it to be so. If you’re not being respected, where have you allowed those boundaries to become slack, and what do you need to do to strengthen? If you're not feeling that a relationship is positive, how are you contributing to it's imbalance? Where does your foundation lie, and how are you initiating it in your world?
There is a time for confrontation and exercising our Truth with voice, but when you wish to operate from solid ground you must reflect on the ground you stand. Is this possibly an opportunity to become stronger in you and allow that strength to ripple out into your world, into your relationships, into your outcomes?
When you become solid in you, you regain clarity and composure and confrontation can be filtered into communication of Truth. When you become realigned with your Self and pay allegiance, how you choose to handle a situation becomes an act of peace, as your intention is to end the conflict within.
In this state of Being, all outcomes become irrelevant other than the ultimate of being true to you. And in the end, you are left with exactly what you need, because the other will either choose to align or will easily fall away, leaving you with matches to your truth, rather than uncomfortable fits.
As you stand in integrity and authenticity becomes your guide, you will find the like that attracts like and you will see that compatibility is much more pleasant when it springs from truth.
Honoring you,
Rhonda

Flowing with Grace (part three on relationships)
If a thing’s purpose has expired- if an experience or a soul has played its part in our lives and it is time for the relationship to end, how do we let go with grace?
A relationship, or the container that held the space for a lesson or experience to unfold, has served its purpose, yet we find ourselves grieving at the thought of letting go. It’s important to remember that we are all still ever-connected, so it’s not necessarily a separation from another soul, but rather an honoring, or an allowing, of what is. The principals of birth and death apply to relationship, and when we can come to terms with the inevitable process of life, and apply it to all things, we can come to a place of reverence that will allow us to see things from the higher perspective of grace.
Grace removes the blocks of flow. Flow is the course to follow when you wish to live your life with ease. There is comfort in ease, and meaning. Ease means you’ve arrived. And arrival is what you’ve been waiting for.
Now is the perfect time to assume the stance of follower of your heart. Grace is the place where miracles unfold. We’ve waited for the time of miracles abound. We’ve undergone slow and tumultuous changes in order to stand in a place where desire is akin to life experience. All that has ever stood in the way is you-or your perception of you based on what you’ve been told.
Be bold. The time to live by anyone else’s rules has expired. Have no fear in making decisions in moving forward, for your heart won’t steer you wrong. It knows good from bad and right from wrong and it’s one-hundred percent aligned with your greatest good. And goodness is what you’re here to achieve- unscathed by the diplomacy of doubt or guilt and unhindered by the encumbrance of greed for the need to be accepted. Accept yourself, first and foremost. It is you that must spread the love to the you that has been seeking. Seek no more.~ It is within. Transcend the inner critic who mirrors the world abroad and embrace the portal of compassion that is ever flowing to you and only waiting for you to receive. Believe in the you that is waiting~in the you that wants to unfold. For you are the greatest potential and your story waits to be told.
Be there with you in the moment. Be true to you each day. Be kind to yourself when you’d rather be cruel. And be the love that you wish to receive. It is from this place, this way of being that you will begin to walk in grace and your life will begin to flow. It is from this relationship with your self that your perspective will become higher grounded.
All relationships offer us gifts and opportunities, lessons and experiences. Not all relationships are meant to last forever. We are humbled into a place of nonattachment when we walk in grace, when we live from our truth, when we allow for the path to unfold and the pieces to crumble so that we can be built anew. Be grateful for those who have blessed your life and be honest with yourself when it is time to move on. In the state of allowing that is grace, nothing is lost, but our need to hold on. As you learn to open your arms to what is and open your hearts to what’s becoming new, you will see that endings are only openings for what’s waiting and a chance to smile at what you’ve been blessed with through the experience now saying goodbye.
You are choosing higher now. Allow your choices to reflect your greatest desires and honor your truth. When it is time to move on, you will know. Know that. And know that the act of honoring you is the greatest thing you can do. There is nothing selfish about loving you, it only might feel a little foreign to put yourself first for a change. In allowing an ending to end, you are aligning with the divine order of all that is moving in the direction of exactly where you need to be.
Listen closely and be still, as your heart shows you the way.
As you find grace, you will find that it is one of the most powerful, and profound, forces in the Universe, and an imaculate tool for living on purpose.
Blessings abound!

Expansion and You~What are You Outgrowing? (part two in relationship series)
There’s a lot to be learned from what our experiences are teaching us.
Conflict in relationships teaches us about boundaries. It’s a wonderful time to redefine what’s important to you; ie values-what really matters to you, what you stand for, and if and where those lines are being crossed. We tend to give away our power and give into situation that may not be serving our greatest when, on some level, our needs are being met. Conflict in a relationship is a reflection of conflict within you when you are paying membership dues to something or someone you have outgrown.
The concept of ‘outgrown’ becomes confusing due to the sense of loyalty to another or a thing. We feel some sense of uneasiness in the notion of growing beyond, or becoming more than what we’ve given ourselves to. But ‘outgrown’ simply means that something no longer fits. When we continually grow and expand, we are bound to outsize what previously may have worked in our lives. And though we may find ourselves attached to what’s no longer fitting, it’s essential to our growth to honor that part of us that’s saying ‘But that’s not me anymore’. That part of you that’s resisting ‘what is’ is reaching for ‘what can be’ when you open more fully to the greatness of who you are.
The nature of expansion is to have room to move freely. Are you moving freely in your experience of life or do you find yourself constricted by what’s playing out for you at this time?
The conflict is simply you needing to honor you-so it’s you creating discomfort so that you will pay attention to what you truly desire and what’s not being honored. With this perspective, reevaluate where in your life you are being asked to be able to move freely, to move authentically, and to take a look at the ways you’re not.
Do you feel that you can exercise your true beliefs and feelings in your relationships? Do you feel that you are completely free to be you? And if not, are you sensing the discomfort arising? Because if you do, that’s your Self’s way of telling you it needs to be true. And at some point in our development, it becomes too painful to remain in what doesn’t fit.
It’s really a simple process of evolution-take the cocoon example- But somehow in our human minds we take on the obligation to what’s been and find it difficult to stretch into the new. It’s important at this point to allow yourself to detach from whatever’s causing you angst. Because as long as you remain, you will be impending your inner desire to grow.
And remember that as you expand into a place of honoring your truth and following your heart that the rules in your head no longer apply. Take back your power. YOU know what’s best for you (and that part of you is reminding you). YOU decide which direction you’ll go. And when you’re confused, you can base it on two things.
1) What your heart’s telling you to pay attention to (that GPS)
2) What’s playing out in your experience
This is the ultimate of going with the flow. Where is the flow directing you? What is it teaching you and telling you? Everything in this process really can become so organic when we simply listen and become aware of what’s teaching us and what it has to tell without all the hupla in our heads, but simply as an observer.
(There’s a definite theme of ‘simply’ in this note. I believe Spirit is really trying to get us to break it down to what’s simple and live from that place.)
So, as an observer, we can notice and we can allow. And when it seems too tough to allow, we can then surrender. When you find yourself in conflict in a relationship, simply ask that those that need to remain in your life and are for your greatest good stay, and those who don’t, be removed. It really takes the guess-work out of it and allows you to remain in a place of continuing to observe and honor who you are in truth by paying heed to what your heart is telling you.
Here's to moving freely and living wisely.
In love of life,

Conflict in relationships teaches us about boundaries. It’s a wonderful time to redefine what’s important to you; ie values-what really matters to you, what you stand for, and if and where those lines are being crossed. We tend to give away our power and give into situation that may not be serving our greatest when, on some level, our needs are being met. Conflict in a relationship is a reflection of conflict within you when you are paying membership dues to something or someone you have outgrown.
The concept of ‘outgrown’ becomes confusing due to the sense of loyalty to another or a thing. We feel some sense of uneasiness in the notion of growing beyond, or becoming more than what we’ve given ourselves to. But ‘outgrown’ simply means that something no longer fits. When we continually grow and expand, we are bound to outsize what previously may have worked in our lives. And though we may find ourselves attached to what’s no longer fitting, it’s essential to our growth to honor that part of us that’s saying ‘But that’s not me anymore’. That part of you that’s resisting ‘what is’ is reaching for ‘what can be’ when you open more fully to the greatness of who you are.
The nature of expansion is to have room to move freely. Are you moving freely in your experience of life or do you find yourself constricted by what’s playing out for you at this time?
The conflict is simply you needing to honor you-so it’s you creating discomfort so that you will pay attention to what you truly desire and what’s not being honored. With this perspective, reevaluate where in your life you are being asked to be able to move freely, to move authentically, and to take a look at the ways you’re not.
Do you feel that you can exercise your true beliefs and feelings in your relationships? Do you feel that you are completely free to be you? And if not, are you sensing the discomfort arising? Because if you do, that’s your Self’s way of telling you it needs to be true. And at some point in our development, it becomes too painful to remain in what doesn’t fit.
It’s really a simple process of evolution-take the cocoon example- But somehow in our human minds we take on the obligation to what’s been and find it difficult to stretch into the new. It’s important at this point to allow yourself to detach from whatever’s causing you angst. Because as long as you remain, you will be impending your inner desire to grow.
And remember that as you expand into a place of honoring your truth and following your heart that the rules in your head no longer apply. Take back your power. YOU know what’s best for you (and that part of you is reminding you). YOU decide which direction you’ll go. And when you’re confused, you can base it on two things.
1) What your heart’s telling you to pay attention to (that GPS)
2) What’s playing out in your experience
This is the ultimate of going with the flow. Where is the flow directing you? What is it teaching you and telling you?

Soothing You~Growing Pain Salves (Part one of a five part peice on relationships)
There is comfort in knowing that there is purpose to a thing. When we choose to believe that people and experiences are in our lives, or are exiting, for a reason, then we can derive meaning from it. Even if we don’t yet know what that meaning is, the sense of knowing can bring us grace for what it is we behold. If your experience is less than optimal, you can gather strength in knowing it has meaning. The same can be true for finding purpose in relationships that may be faltering..
We have a tendency to run from pain. It’s our nature. But if we face the pain and see what it’s teaching us, we become more effective at navigating through our lives and no longer ruled by what is bringing us discomfort. When we step away from the emotion of what’s happening, we become objective. And from here, we can obtain a clearer view of the truth.
We really do want the whole picture anyway. That’s why we get caught in our heads trying to unscramble what’s happening in our lives. The trouble is, from that vantage point, we just can’t get the entire view. We can’t know all of the why’s and what’s and how-come’s of everything. Such is the mystery of life. And would we really want to know anyway~ don’t we have enough information crammed up there in that head of ours already? The why’s and what’s are just details, just aspects of the entire picture being painted. But the meaning we truly seek is far more expansive. It involves a knowing on so many more levels. IT involves a grander scope that doesn’t always unfold in the time frame we try to place on it.
Here is where we can learn to soften to what is attempting to unfold, and what will , in fact unfold, with or without our consent. But when we become aware of what the experience is whispering to us, we let IT tell us the story, rather that allowing our minds to scamper around trying to figure it out.
Here we become one with our experience, rather than lost in our resistance to or confusion about what is. When we become unattached to what the meaning must be or to the need to know the meaning instantly, we allow for the experience to breathe, and for ourselves to be fully in it, even when it may seem to be causing us pain.
Pain is a teacher. And so you must ask, rather than give juristiction to it, what it is your painful experience is teaching you. This is a soul-level question, and soul-level questions can’t be timed. They are questions we ask with our hearts, and their answers find their way to us when we are most ready to receive them.
If, in allowing the process you believe, the unfolding of meaning can be a beautiful thing.
Remember to breathe and to soften as your life unfolds around you. Even when it feels like everything is falling apart or away, or aspects that have mattered deeply to you are now distancing themselves. Know that there is a great plan at hand, and that on a soul level, all is perfectly divine and in order.
All in love,
Rhonda
