LIVING BEYOND CHAOS
DAY 1:
Recently, I was reflecting on my life and realized
that I had been
experiencing much chaos...
especially during the last month.
I feel that this is true for many I speak too...
and wondering if YOU are seeing
any chaos in YOUR life?
According to www.Dictionary.com
the definition of chaos is as follows:
"A state of utter confusion or disorder;
a total lack of organization or order."
It was really a GREAT experiment to observe
this for about 30 days....and truly live IN the
chaos.
And yet, I LOVE order....
so I'm pondering what are the
guidelines for going beyond chaos?
What are the principles for creating life
even when chaos arises both
within one's life...
and/or around us?
Let's explore this!
I invite your responses?
In JOY...

DAY 2:
On my Home Page, I pose 4 questions and my reply.
They are as follows:
Are we strong enough to withstand the mysteries of the dark side of life?
Are we wise enough to balance them with the delight of living?
Are we tender enough to allow "magical moments" of awe to touch us...
And then move forward with faith, achieving our greatest potential?
What is the key to Living Beyond Chaos?
For me, I find it important to stay strong in MIND, BODY and SPIRIT. And to do this, I must focus on the following 4 areas.
PHYSICAL:
GOOD FOOD, ORGANIC, NON-GMO, NON-JUNK FOOD AND DISCERNMENT WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING FROM THE "BIG NAME BRANDS"
EMOTIONALLY:
BEING IN TOUCH WITH MY EMOTIONS THAT ARISE.
I'VE LEARNED THAT THE OLD SAYING "FEEL TO HEAL" IS VERY TRUE.
MENTALLY:
BEING MINDFUL OF WHAT I ALLOW MY MIND TO FOCUS ON, KNOWING THAT WHAT I FOCUS ON EXPANDS.
SPIRITUALLY:
TO KEEP UP MY SPIRITUAL PRACTICES SUCH AS: MEDITATION, PRAYER AND BLESSINGS. I FIND THEM SUCH A JOY DURING THESE TIMES OF TRANSITION.
I do believe that when we go back to the basics and mindfully care for our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs, we are able to be more present...in the now....and able to face whatever is arising.
Feel free to contact me on the site...via the contact page.

DAY 3:
Expecting the Un-expected!
Have you ever wanted to go in a new and different direction, only to be brought face to face with whatever is MOST challenging for you?
Old Habits!
Addictions!
Default Attitudes!
All of these can return in a moment's time, to detract us from the new direction we so deeply desire to go.
Although they may seem like a curse at the time, they truly are a blessing. Because it is just such things that are between you and your desire to live at a new level of consciousness.
MEET the issue!
(See the pattern within you.)
FEEL the consequences!
(How has this affected you previously?
How is it affecting you NOW?)
BEAT the issue!
(KNOW that YOU have POWER over
your issue! YOU can choose the direction you want to go. )
Reach out for support!
In future Blogs I'll be sharing various ways you can have support to change the direction of you life!
Know, it's a process!
The Journey is the path!
with love, sharon
DAY 4:
The ART of Listening to Your Self!
In today's world there are so many voice speaking so loudly!
Some say do this!
Others say do that!
Listening to Your Self is the key to Freedom!
Your Higher Self can give you priceless guidance!
Learn to TRUST!
Learn to have FAITH!
Enjoy the Journey...
into Your SELF!
with love, Sharon

THE JOURNEY INTO THIS NOW!
THIS MOMENT OF NOW...
CAN AWAKEN YOU AND ME...
INTO THE DEPTH OF LIFE
AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE!
BE STILL....AND KNOW THE AWE
IN THIS MOMENT!
Is it speaking to you about your True Nature?
Is it a nudge into becoming more conscious?
Is it revealing something that is totally NEW to you?
Are you seeing a NEW possibility for yourself?
During these times of transition, stronger energies
of LIGHT are coming to the planet.
They are increasing our capability for new insights...
however, we must be STILL enough to feel them!
When we are AWAKE in THIS NOW....
the POSSIBILITIES are endless.
The NOW can present
Life Changing Moments to us...
which can be a source of
JOY!
Have you had a Life Changing Moment?
I'd love to hear from you!
In JOY,
sharon

THE JOURNEY INTO THIS 21st CENTURY
Dearest Readers....
Recently, as I was reflecting on ALL that is happening
in our world right now, it registered with me that
the AWAKENING that needs to take place on the planet
so we truly understanding what is needed at this time, could be must easier if we were to awaken in just 4 areas.
This truly excited me, because it seemed to make
the task ahead for us as a species MUCH EASIER!
We are ONE PLANET and we must come together as
ONE PEOPLE if we are to move forward!
Every person entered into this life...
in a family...
within a city...
within a state....
within a country....
and thus KNOWS a piece of the puzzle
of living at this time.
However, very few of us have the total picture
and thus we can't be really effective in making
a difference.
As I have often said on my radio shows and in this
blog...
IF ONE LITTLE THING SHIFTS,
EVERYTHING SHIFTS!
One little "ah -ha" moment can change the
direction of our life forever!
The four areas I'm suggesting we need a greater
clarity in are as follows:
AWAKENING TO OUR TRUE NATURE
AWAKENING TO CONSCIOUS LIVING & CO-CREATION
AWAKENING TO THE REAL HISTORY OF OUR
PLANET & GALAXY
AWAKENING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF YOU
I'm continue this conversation in future
blogs and radio programs.
Presently, I'm doing a series of programs

THE JOY OF LISTENING IN THE SILENCE
OF NATURE
Have you spent much time recently in nature...
just listening?
Listening to the birds....
the wind in the trees...
the leaves rustling....
So you hear the trees responding?
Have you ever introduced yourself to
a tree?
I learned about this practice form Amos Clifford in Santa Rosa, California some years ago.
Trees have an amazing system of connection
through their roots! When you connect
with just one tree....
it will pass on what it knows to
the other neighboring trees.
Nature is calling to us to come back...
to return to being in nature...
and listening...
and hearing...
and enjoying the gift of
the trees...the river...the skies...
the flowers.
In addition, taking time away from our phones, the television, the radio, the computer
is so important during this time when there is
so much uncertainty going on all around.
Nature helps to keep our system balanced,
to quiet our nervous system which can become
very stimulated by all the input from the outside
world.
Take a break from all the media...
and walk into nature and truly
sense the difference it makes!
As we come to the end of these 21 Days of Listening, I invite you to carry on your practice and step into
the midst of nature....
and just sit....
or walk....
and listen with new ears....
to the sounds around!
Thank you for joining me on this journey!
Happy Listening...

The 10 Minute Miracle: Listening to Children
Children thrive when listened to and
communicated with on a regular basis.
If a child is acting out, withdrawn or creating
a disturbance on a regular basis, this may be their way
of saying to you...
I'm hurting!
Can't you see me!?
Can't you hear me!?
Don't you care?
The 10 Minute Miracle is a basically a deep way of listening to a child, so they feel heard!
Listening to a child sends a message to them:
You matter!
I care about you!
What you say is important!
I love you!
If you are having a challenge with a child,
I invite you to listen to this program on
BlogTalkRadio.com/VoiceOfChange
and see if it is supportive in your situation.
Feel free to contact me if you'd like support in your particular situation.
I offer a complimentary 15 minutes session to see
if the way I work with families if right for you.

21 Day Challenge of Expansion
On my radio program, I invited listeners
to embark on a
21 DAY CHALLENGE of EXPANSION!
As I came to post here regarding this "Challenge & Expansion" and was
reviewing a variety of images to accompany
this blog, I came across this one of a
house under construction.
I feel it is the perfect image for this blog!
EXPANSION with STABILITY
Even though we may want to expand and actually
at times, this is VERY important to do, especially these days...
Can we do this and still remain stable?
Just as a house is built...a huge expansion is created...
and let it is built on a firm foundation, allowing it to
be so stable.
What is the stable foundation we can provide for our self
during times of great expansion?
In addition, just like this house has many room,
what are the "rooms" you'd like to expand?
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Although I originally thought
my 21 Day Challenge/Expansion would be in one area,
it turned out expanding into a couple of other areas also.
Although, this feels right, it does involve MUCH change...
and I feel I do need to be very aware of remaining
stable in the process.
SELF ENQUIRY QUESTIONS:
Are you up for a 21 Day Challenge of Expansion?
What areas do you want to consider for such an expansion?
If this appeals to you, feel free to sign up on this website..
and join us.
This is an on-going conversation on my radio program.
