Letting Go

How can we do that?

We can let go.

We do it by focusing on the positive things in our lives. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others. There are times we lose sight of the wonderful person we are.

We look in the mirror and see flaws. We don’t like what we see.

We try to change ourselves into the people we’re comparing ourselves to and try to create that person we see in them.

The negative messages we were told while growing up create hollow spaces in our minds. They carve until they sculpt our emotions. If we look at those negative messages, now, we might not fit into them; yet, still believe them. They’re difficult to erase. They need to be filled in with positive affirmations about ourselves.

Only, we can change those negative messages.

Only, we can start to look at ourselves in order to form the persona we really are.

We can create and develop more of a positive mind.

We can strengthen our positive minds for a better way of being by letting go of those negative thoughts. We need to become real with ourselves by accepting the entire person we are despite what others may think.

We just have to be okay with ourselves.

Nobody Walks Alone

Oft’ times when the highway of life seems rough

And all of your dreams have flown,

Just remember, wherever your road may go,

Nobody Walks Alone

When everyone else has let you down

And under your sins you groan,

Just keep reminding, your burdened heart,

Nobody Walks Alone

Then suddenly you’ll feel His hand in yours,

And His eyes lifting up your own,

And you’ll hear his gentle, forgiving voice:

Nobody Walks Alone … !!!

“Ama” is a silent film.

It tells a story everyone can interpret in their own way,

based on their own experience.

There is no imposition, only suggestions.

I wanted to share my biggest pain in this life with this film.

For this is not too crude, I covered it with grace.

To make it not too heavy, I plunged it into the water.

I dedicate this film to all the women of the world.”

Nurture Yourself – Journey to your Heart

Breathe In – Breathe Out

Breathe in, breathe out

Open your eyes

Do you see beauty?

Breathe in, breathe out

Close your eyes

Were you praying too?

Breathe in, breathe out

Let yourself fall

Did someone catch you?

Breathe in, breathe out

Open your heart

Did you let someone in?

Breathe in, breathe out

Reach out your hand

Did someone reach back?

Breathe in, breathe out

It’s time

Are you ready?

Nurture Yourself – Unplug

Almost everything will work again, if you Unplug for a few minutes, including You!

~~~~~~~~~

This post is about taking time to Unplug from the daily pressure of trying to keep up with social media. We fool ourselves into thinking that we have a grip on how much time we spend on our computers or smart phones but we do not. Our concerns for missing something that we believe is important for us to know prevents us from seeing the addiction. Communication has broken down between people.

For example:

I was having dinner at a restaurant before a play my husband was taking me to see for my birthday in July. It’s a lovely Japanese Restaurant with delicious food, sushi and furnished with traditional japanese paintings and decor.

A family of four came in and were seated at the next table beside ours. Shortly after getting their menu’s and ordering, they all grabbed their phones and focused on the screens before them. Sadly, they did that the entire time they were eating. No conversation occurred during the entire hour they sat at the table. After the father paid for the check, they got up and left.

Are we unable to leave media behind during a short one hour of eating?

Technology has given us many benefits. We can skype family in other states. We can talk and see members of our family during times when traveling isn’t possible. Being able to research subjects or learn on-line is a phenomenal tool; but, somethings been lost. We need to find it soon. Our children are missing many things they could experience from their parents or extended families. They’re lost by a mesmerizing screen that is constantly calling them.

Will this one day be an addiction like drugs and alcohol?

I hope not. Perhaps, finding a middle road for all to be happy can be a topic of conversation: at dinner?

Namaste,

Isadora 🙏🏻

Nurture Yourself – Life is Just a Moment

I read this, “Life is Just a Moment.”

It’s insightful. It’s touching.

The ending has a profound lesson.

Perhaps, because of all the recent events in the news and my personal life,

we need to focus on Living Life in every moment.

~~~~~~

A man died…

When he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.

Dialog between God and Man:

God: “Alright son, it’s time to go.”

Man: “So soon? I had a lot of plans…”

God: “I am sorry but, it’s time to go.”

Man: “What do you have in that suitcase?”

God: “Your belongings.”

Man: “My belongings? You mean my things … clothes… money”

God: “Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth.”

Man: “Is it my memories?”

God: “No, they belong to Time.”

Man: “Is it my talent?”

God: “No, they belong to Circumstance.”

Man: “Is it my friends and family?”

God: “No son, they belong to the Path you Traveled.”

Man: “Is it my wife and children?”

God: “No, they belong to your Heart.”

Man: “Then, it must be my Body.”

God: “No No… it belongs to Dust.”

Man: “Then, surely, it must be my Soul!”

God: “You are sadly mistaken son. Your Soul belongs to me.”

The man with tears in his eyes and full of fear took the suitcase from God’s hand and opened it…

Empty…

Heartbroken and with tears running down his cheeks he asked God… “I never owned anything?”

God: “That’s right. You never owned anything.”

Man: “Then? What was mine?”

God: Your “MOMENTS.”

Every moment you lived was “Yours!!!”

Do Good in every moment

Think Good in every moment

Thank God for every moment

Life is just a MOMENT!

Nurture Yourself – Be Who You Are

On occasion, we all experience something that sets us back in our emotional health. Life hands us challenges we need to meet. We’re not always able to accept challenges that make us feel excluded. But, we can give ourselves permission to be ‘Who We Are’ despite the behavior of those who decide we aren’t acceptable in their world.

Often, we have preconceived notions of who we should be based on our need to fit in. It may start early in our lives because we want to be liked or want to be part of the so-called in crowd. We imagine ourselves to be like others if we dress, talk and act like them. We behave and do things we normally wouldn’t do because we don’t like the feeling of being excluded.

Don’t pretend. Be who you are. You are special …

It isn’t selfish to make yourself a priority. It isn’t selfish to take care of yourself. It isn’t selfish to love yourself. For in doing so, you have much more to give to others. More importantly, you’ve given yourself a far greater gift of love than anyone could ever give you.

Give Yourself Special love Gifts everyday …

Wake in the morning and say – “Today, I love myself more than yesterday”.
Dream more while you’re awake – manifesting positive dreams creates positive energy.
Smile – challenge yourself to make 3 people a day smile.
Place all past issues where they belong; in the past. Don’t ruin today because of them.
Time heals all things, eventually. Give time – time.
Don’t compare yourself to others. Their lives may not be so special.
Spend time with people over 70 – they’ve experienced far more than you and can guide you.
Spend more time with children under 6 – they know how to play and you’ve forgotten.
No matter how you feel – get up, get dressed and be a part of the adventures of life.
Live with Energy – Enthusiasm – Empathy – Faith – Self-Love

Be the ship that travels calm waters to places that nourish you. Cruise away from places that keep you from being who you are. Bring people along with you who let you be you. Discard the others since they will only bring your ship down.

Namaste, Isadora

Nurture Yourself – In the Light of Love

May the light we embrace,

Kindle the flame of our heart

And, burn brightly with love and clarity.

Namaste, Isadora

“Knowledge is like a candle … when one candle lights the other,

This is a repost as I thought …

Preacher Michael Curry spoke a touching sermon about LOVE and its healing powers

to Prince Harry and Meghan at the royal wedding.

I thought it might be inspiring to listen to if you missed it.

Namaste, Isadora

Nurture Yourself – Be Faithful

Life is a journey full of many beautiful scenes;

I, the soul, come to …Don’t pretend. Be who you are. You are special.

We all have a light inside, let it shine.

Namaste

I honor the place in you

in which the entire universe dwells.

I honor the place in you

which is of Love, and of Truth,

of Light and of Peace.

When you are in that place in you

and I am in that place in me.

We are One.Song – I Am Light

I am light, I am light

I am light,

I am not the things my family did

I am not the voices in my head

I am not the pieces of the brokenness inside

I am light, I am light

I am light

I’m not the mistakes that I have made

or any of the things that caused me pain

I am not the pieces of the dream I left behind

I am light, I am light

I am light

I am not the color of my eyes

I am not the skin on the outside

I am not my age, I am not my race,

my soul inside is all light

All light, all light

I am light

I am light, I am light

I am light

I am divinity defined

I am the God on the inside

I am a star, a piece of it all

I am light
