The ART of Living Life
Sharon's Blog
March 17, 2023
Whenever I look at this image it reminds me of TRANSFORMATION!
At this time on the planet, I believe we are all being asked to look at our lives and shift out of what is not working and to walk forward and find the newness that wants to be revealed.
Just this morning, a new class was shown me and it feels so right for these times. The title of it is:
THRIVING & TRANSFORMING
During times of Transition!
This class brings everything together that I've spoken about in the last 6 months or so and have been living over the last several years.
If this work interests you, more details are under
JUNE CLASS
in the SERVICES page of this website.
TOGETHER WE LEARN...TOGETHER WE GROW!

As I deeply took my own advice from my recent blogs, I've had some major shifts in my consciousness!
As I gave myself permission to move forward only as FAST as the slowest part of my system wanted to move, my body relaxed and much unfolded.
I realized that I had some profound forgiveness work to do.
I realized that I've had an underlying anger about all that
has been and is happening in our world. In an article I read recently, someone called it a poly-crisis. I agree. I believe it is a
poly-crisis state we are living in.
But then I also came to realize that those creating this poly-crisis state do not know any better!
And so with that understanding, I had to reflect and and ask myself:
What am I going to do then?
How am I going to live?
And the golden nugget for me is:
No matter what I do, I will never make an error as devastating as
what "they've" done, so I gave myself permission
to truly LIVE FULLY AND BE ME!

RADICAL FORGINESNESS CLASS!
In case you might be interested, there is an
upcoming forgiveness class

It begins March 25, 2023.

For decades now I often create a list of words to note
what I'm feeling and thinking at a particular moment, as
well as words I want to more deeply embrace.
WORDS that come to mind:
PATIENCE!
COURAGE!
CENTEREDNESS!
SPIRITUAL PRACTICE!
QI GONG!
KEEP ON...KEEPING ON!
PEACEFULNESS!
THOUGHTS /FEELINGS that come to mind:
As I step into Being the CEO of my life,
the following thoughts and words come to mind in this moment.
Be Still and Know that I Am God!
Have patience with yourself and the journey of Life.
Remember to Be Grateful for everything!
Step forward only as fast as the slowest part of myself wants to go.
(The idea above I'm recalling from one of Karen Drucker's songs!)
Be True to Yourself!
Live in the "Fields" of Health, Love, Joy, Freedom, Contentment and Gratitude!
Know that YOU make a difference!
SELF-ENQUIRY:
Are YOU the CEO of your life; or are you Becoming the CEO
of your life?
What shifts are being asked of you at this time?
During this process, what do you want to focus on in order to be in a "right" relationships with your self?

This is the Time to...
See with NEW eyes...
Hear with NEW ears...
Feel with an OPEN heart...
Think with a CLEAR awareness...
Speak with LOVING KINDNESS... and
Act with a NEW understanding...

When I come here to write these Blog posts through the years, it's a very SPECIAL time, when I step into the Emptiness.. the Void.... to see what wants to be written. These times are like a deep meditation for me. With that being said, I want to also add, that the message isn't from my conscious mind... I feel it's what the Divine wants to say through me.
The posting I wrote over the week-end, had a very deep impact on my personally. After finishing the Blog, the questions that I wrote took me on a journey...as I pondered my own answers to them.
This is a time of Great Change for all of us. And just this morning I was reminded it that we are coming into SPRING, a time of re-birth. So, how perfect the timing is for such great transformation.
Although I've spent much of my life, changing, the CHANGE being required NOW, seems almost like it's too much. At times I want the old... the familiar... enough with more change!!
And at the same time, there is something within, pushing me forward into the unknown. I just wrote out the description for my radio show on April 15th. The title of it is:
BECOMING THE CEO OF YOUR LIFE!!
I do believe this is what all of us are being asked to become!
So, I return to the questions in my last Blog post, and the question I posed on March 8th.
What within you is remaining the same?
For me it's
1. My desire to make a difference on the planet!
2. My desire to live a purposeful life!
3. My connection to the Divine!
4. My commitment to always speaking and writing the deepest Truth I have access to in that moment.
As we are being called to transform, I believe it is very important to know and recognize and deeply honor, that which remains the same!
It's nice to know there is a little bit of "sameness" that remains.
I'd love to hear from YOU!
with love, sharon

CHANGING TIMES
My daughter sent this image to me years ago. I use it often in my work. I feel it says SO much! Tami has such an eye for the perfect photograph!
Just as this tree is going through a change, shedding all of it's leaves at this time, we too on planet Earth are going through a
tremendous change at this time.
Change can be a time of feeling unsettled, because so much is changing. And yet like the tree, SO much remains the same.
The tree is still standing.
The tree is still growing.
The tree continues to share it's beauty!
and the tree remains steady and stable, knowing
that this time will come and go. And soon, new leaves will appear.
So, I invite you to ponder these questions
as things continue to shift for all of us.
MARCH 8
What within you is remaining the same ?
MARCH 9
What is wanting to change at this time?
MARCH 10
Can the True Self within your self, hold space for the change that is taking place? What can you do to support the change taking place?
MARCH 11
What are three adjectives that describe the NEW you that is wanting to emerge at this time?
MARCH 12
What GIFTS will this new version of YOU bring to Mother Gaia when you are in full bloom?

The JOY I have in Teaching Piano to All Ages!
Perhaps some of you know I am a piano teacher of many decades! I love teaching today as much as I did when I began just after my first child was born.
Especially when I teach children, it gives me an opportunity to see life through the eyes of a child.
Now I teach mainly online. And I'm amazed at how personal the connection is with today's technology.
I'm in the process of combining all my work on this site, so watch for more to come about my piano teaching. For years my
motto has been:
I LOVE TO TEACH.... YOU'LL LOVE TO LEARN!
March 6, 2023
Years ago I went through a period in my life where I pretended I was a child at various ages. I bought myself stickers and all sorts of fun art supplies which I used in my journey. Although my childhood had many parties and fun times in it, there was just something, I had to renew in myself...a sense of being ME!
It was a fun way to come into a greater JOY!
Do you have a need for some childhood fun?
What would support you in renewing your sense of YOU?
Experiment!
Create!
Return to being a child and
ENJOY!
March 5, 2023
I want to share a poem with you that I wrote in 2002 after I had a very sad experience in a classroom. I observed a teacher talking to a child very disrespectfully and it deeply touched my heart!
The very next morning, I awakened to the sound of music and this poem was written in the next 20 minutes.
I Am Your Child… Deep, deep within,
I Am Your student…Deep, deep within,
For I AM YOU and YOU are ME
Deep, deep within
What a child hears…I hear
What a child feels…I feel
As she laughs… I laugh
As she cries… I cry
A pull on her arm, is a pull on my heart…
A slap on her behind, is a slap at me…
As I allow children to make
choices freely…
A NEW Freedom of CHOICE
resounds within me…
His delight is the delight I never had…
His freedom is the freedom I never
experienced…
As I allow a child to move in peace…
I bring peace to myself
As I allow a child to speak freely…
I give myself freedom to speak
As I allow a child to make mistakes…
I give myself freedom to error in life
YOUR kindness heals…
My kindness heals….
YOUR love nurtures….
My love nurtures…
YOUR JOY encourages…
My JOY encourages…
YOUR understanding brings Peace…
My understanding bring Peace…
For I am YOU and YOU are Me…
Deep, deep within…

CREATING A "RIGHT" RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF
Seeing a child play so freely i great reminder
that we too, even as adlts have the right to play...
and that doing so can renew our spirit,
our body,
our heart!
When is the last time you allowed yourself to really have FUN!
Over the last 20 years, I facilitated Julia Cameron's Artist Way several times. It's a WONDERFUL book, allowing adults to re-discover
their interests, preferences and passions.
Julia, author, invites readers to take them self on an
ARTIST DATE once a week!
And you have to go by YOUR SELF!
It's a wonder-filled adventure to know that you
"have" to do it for the class!
Otherwise, how many people would just go out and do something for FUN?
Some places for such an adventure are:
A walk in nature, a trip to the beach, a local thrift store, a local hardware store or spending time with yourself, listening to your favorite music.
When we spend time with our self, we are able to develop a "right" relationship with our own Being. We can discover NEW things about ourself, our preferences, our likes, our dislikes.
RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS is a topic I'm very drawn to at this time.
I believe it is crucial for a deeper understanding of "right" relationships to be reflected upon, so that we can truly have a "right" relationship with ALL of life.

What are some of the qualities or characteristics of a
"Right" Relationship?
As you look at your life and observe the relationships you have, what are the qualities that you value the most in such relationships?
Here are some that come to mind for me:
Open communication
Mutual Respect
A sincere desire for the best for each other
Truthfulness
Honesty
Appreciation and Gratitude for one another
Being there for each other
Freedom to be one's self with the other
In addition, as I observe relationships, I see what
happens in untrue or mis-guided relationships.
Here are some of those qualities:
"Power Over/Under" the other
Manipulation
Demands of the other
Blaming
Hurting/ Yelling
Use of Fear to get one's own way
Lying
Gossiping about the other
Speaking dis-respectfully about the other
Submissive
Not having the freedom to speak one's truth
Fearful to be one's true self
Each person was born to be FREE and not to be controlled by another.
Many of us grew up during times when
we were surrounded by others living out
Un-true Relationships.
We no longer need to live in such a way.
Anyone at any time can take back their POWER.
Do you need to claim your power in some way?
NOW is the Time!

We have embodied the JOY of living...
We have learned to LOVE our self and all creatures...
We have a deep RESPCT for Mother Earth...

and we have a PURPOSE for living...
and it is from living in these "Fields" that we keep on keeping on and thus...
we have the COURAGE to meet all that arises...
we have the STRENGTH to endure the challenges...
we have the COMPASSION to understand another's pain...
we have and
we have the FAITH and TRUST to keep on keeping on!

THE ART OF LIVING LIFE
Many years ago when
I started this website, I deeply pondered what I should call it.
After much consideration,
The Art Of Living Life
was my decision.
I have come to love the name, because all that I
write about can easily fall under the title.
Right Relationships is the topic I will be exploring
at this time for some of my blogs.
Just like this gorgeous vase of flowers where each flower
is blooming so beautifully...
If you have a "Right" Relationship with LIFE,
you, too, will BLOOM right where you are planted!!
Are you Blooming Brightly?

Angels and Archangels?
Are you in a "right" relationships with your home?
your work?

THE BITTERSWEET BEAUTY OF THE BASICS!
The BASICS I'm speaking about here are the
basics for being healthy!
As I observe many around me who are having health issues, I see them reaching out for "the answer" and at the same time having
a very poor living lifestyle.
So, I want to share here a few of the BASICS which
are the foundation of health.
The Bittersweet Beauty of this is that the solutions for a healthy body may be right before our eyes but it may call for changes to
ones life-style! And for some people, the bittersweet taste of that is so distasteful that it goes into the realm of just being BITTER! And they back way and go out SEARCHING and SEARCHING for the next miracle cure!
1. WATER - Good pure clean water!
(This does not include soda, shakes and carbonated drinks!)
It means WATER!
2. FOOD - Good whole foods and grains!
Fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and limited dairy and meats
if you eat those!
(This does not include processed foods, fast foods, boxed foods, and eating out on a daily basis!)
I'm seeing that even Health Foods Prepared Foods are not that healthy at times. READ THE LABELS! Be informed!
3. SLEEP - Regular sleep - at regular times!
Many health professionals and spiritual teachers promote
sleeping at the same time on a daily basis.
(This does not mean saying up until 2 am and sleeping until 11 am!)
The body functions best when it has a regular cycle.
4. MOVEMENT - Regular exercise and/or movement
Our body is meant to move. Finding a type of movement or exercise that you truly enjoy makes this much more enjoyable!
For myself this has varied through my life. At times it was "power walking, then Feldenkrais and now Qi Gong.
Find a practice you LOVE and enjoy it!
5. RELATIONSHIPS - CONNECTION!
As human beings we are meant to be connected to others. This can be within the family unit or with your extended family or friends in your community. This is essential for ones well-being!
6. PURPOSEFUL LIVING!
Having meaningful work is important. This might be parenting, or going to school. (Learning is a child's work!) Feeling that you are making a contribution of some kind is important.
7. INTERESTS!
Having your own unique interests, hobbies or service projects is also important. Years ago I read a book by William C. Menninger, co-founder of the Menninger Foundation, an internationally known center for the treatment of behavioral disorders. He felt that everyone would greatly benefit by having an interest that was "bigger than themselves". For him it was Boy Scouts.

I'll be talking more about these BASICS on my radio show:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
SAYING YES!
I have to say that the Blog I wrote comparing LIFE to skiing downhill actually made a difference in MY life.
When I first begin a blog I come to this site and choose a picture. For some reason, it inspires me about the topic I've chosen to write about. So, the image of the skier going downhill, truly got me to thinking about living AND life in a New Way.
Many times, when I start a new venture, I look to see what others have written on a topic or have done in the field I'm exploring. And so often, it stops me, because everything I look at is wonderful! Why is my approach needed?
So, this week as I changed over to a new radio company for my programming, I was looking at the programs already being down and once again, I felt they were superb! Why, would mine be needed?
So, after some reflections, I said NO to that line of thinking and
YES !I get to play too!
Right now our Planet needs every LIGHT there is to sine brightly!
Each one of us have something special to offer!
SO, I invite you if you have something to bring into
manifestation, to do it!
And know as you take just one small step, the next step will reveal itself in time. Enjoy the process!
Wishing you a beautiful beginning to 2023 and the openness to the unexpected and the new in 2023!
In Joy,
sharon

THE ART OF LIVING LIFE:
Right Relationships
This past year certainly has been a year not unlike this photograph of a skier descending down this steep mountain!
How so, you might ask?
Well, he knows he's on a ride and had to mentally prepare for anything that might happen! And he truly didn't know exactly what to expect!
Our ride through 2022 has taken us into territory we did not expect! And isn't it really true about life in general, we never do know exactly what to expect.
And yet at the same time, we have come to expect, a "ride" without too many extremes! Perhaps we might compare it to a "cross country" ski rather than one down such a steep incline.
As I reflect on the upcoming year and how we might be well equipped to navigate the terrain, no matter what is brings, might we prepare our self, as a skier prepares to ski downhill?
Might we prepare our self in a way that we
would have the capacity to handle whatever comes our way?
Might we think of it as an adventure into the unknown?
As I write this, I'm
asking myself these same questions?
I LOVE a peaceful and predictable path in life!!
And yet, perhaps it might serve me well to let go of
that and think of tomorrow and each and every day as an
adventure, such as a ski ride down a steep slope.
RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS!
As I consider having a "Right Relationship" with life, I do believe life is calling for us to find the capacity within to live each moment
without an expectation that it should be this way or that way.
The following affirmations are arising for me as I write this.
I ACCEPT LIFE AS IT ARISES!
I HAVE THE CAPACITY TO BE WITH WHATEVER COMES MY WAY AND FACE IT WITH LOVE, COMPASSION AND COURAGE!
As I reflect on this writing, I do believe that approaching life as
if on a run down a steep slope on skies, could truly increase
my capacity to be with whatever arises.
Who knows... the day could be totally joyous...
and easy going!
OR like a Christmas morning, filled with surprise.
Wishing you a peaceful ending to 2022 and
an excitement to the adventure of 2023!
In Joy,
sharon

YOUR OWN PERSONAL DECLARATION STATEMENT
As we come to the completion of this 21 Day Challenge to Radical Self-Love, I posted some suggestions for creating your own
PERSONAL DECLARATION STATEMENT.

21 Day Challenge: RADICAL SELF-LOVE!
This is now just past the half way mark in our journey
into RADICAL SELF-LOVE!
What have you discovered about yourself?
Has anything shifted for you?
Are you doing anything different?
KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN THE MIDST OF BLOOMING ANEW!
I'm in the midst of a 3 Day Qi Gong Retreat,
which I'm doing by just connecting to the retreat in progress. In addition, I'm using it as an opportunity to also do a 3 day Qi Gong fast.
Master Lin, the founder of Spring Forest Qi Gong highly recommends such a fast and has seen the way it allows the body to reset itself. Doing such a Qi Gong fast is far different than a traditional fast. As I connect to the Qi Field I truly am getting much for in touch with my body.
This morning, Day 2 of this fast, I found myself deeply connected to my breath and so grateful for my entire lung system. I stayed with it for some time and just felt each breath in a new and vibrant way.
After that I found that I would connect to other systems in my body....and felt them SO very alive in my body. Our body has a consciousness and responds to our loving acknowledgement of it. Also, as suggested by Master Lin, I told my body about the fast I was doing. And I'm greatly surprised, it is responding well and not feeling undernourished. Even though today, I have felt a little hungry.
In a radio show I did this week I spoke about the challenges that can arise when we go in a new direction. If you are experiencing this is any way, I invite you to return to ...
FAITH in your self and what new guidance that may be arising...
TRUST in the process of change...
HONOR your self and your feelings...
LOVE yourself for your uniqueness...
During these 21 Days I invite you to deeply claim all the
beautiful quality you have.
AND remember to keep a focus on the positive
"Fields" in which you can live, such as
The Field of LOVE!
The Field of JOY!
The Field of CONTENTMENT!
The Field of PEACE!
The Field of HAPPINESS!
The Field of GRADITUDE!
Because there is so much chaos in the world right now, the
mass consciousness is not usually a place of JOY...or PEACE.
That is why we must be mindful that we live within these
Fields as much as possible.
I'd love to hear from you about your experience during these
21 Days to Radical Self-Love!
How are you changing?
In Joy,
Sharon

21 Day Challenge:
RADICAL SELF-LOVE!
When we have radical self-love, we are able to truly and deeply
honor and respect the person that we are!
This photograph illustrates self-love in a very fun,
light-hearted way.
The depth to which we love our self, reaches into every area of our life. Sincere Self-Love....
usually results in good relationships...
right work...
abundance of good things in life...
taking care of one's body...
and a kindness and consideration to
our family, friends and community.
Getting to really KNOW one's self is essential.
What are your values?
What is important to you?
How do you like to spend your leisure time?
What kind of people to you enjoy being with?
Taking time to be alone allows you to get to know yourself
in a real way. Nature is an ideal place to go for alone time.
I invite you to keep a journal about your journey.
Here are some ideas to write about:
List 20 things you are able to do.
List 20 things you love about yourself.
List one way in which you want to shift/ change.
List 5 ways you express yourself in the world, such as
a teacher
friend or
business owner
During these 21 Days I invite you to deeply claim all the
beautiful quality you have.
AND remember to keep a focus on the positive
"Fields" in which you can live, such as
The Field of LOVE!
The Field of JOY!
The Field of CONTENTMENT!
The Field of PEACE!
Because there is so much chaos in the world right now, the
mass consciousness is not usually a place of JOY...or PEACE.
That is why we must be mindful that we live within these
Fields as much as possible.
I'd love to hear from you about your experience during these

UNIVERSAL LAWS &
OUR CREATIVE POWERS
Since childhood I've always sought to understand
this Universe that we live in.
And then several years ago during a Retreat with
Sat Shree, he gave us a handout entitled:
UNIVERSAL LAWS &
GUIDELINES FOR LIVING
I SO appreciated it and have referred to it often.
During this month, I'll share with you more about
these Universal Laws and invite you to call in and
share your perspective of these Laws you see
working in your life and on the planet.
As we come to learn about these laws and the practical application of them in our lives, the more effective we can live.
In addition, I've become more involved with a Qi Gong practice that I was introduced to years ago and yet didn't really engage with until recently. Master Chunyi Lin has practiced Qi Gong for over 30 years and began Spring Forest Qi Gong over 20 years ago. He has taught over 300,000 students and now has over 200 teachers and healers world wide that work under his direction.
As I follow this work, I'm beginning to see practices for health and well-being, that I believe may be another type of Universal Law for the body. I'm excited to continue this exploration in terms of health and our bodies.
OUR POWERS
As we ponder these Truths, we learn that we all have
CREATIVE POWERS within. As we learn to use them wisely, we become ever more powerful.
If this is of interest to you, please join us on Thursday's at
NOON Pacific Time as we come together and
use our Powers for good!
"LIVING INTENTONS" GROUP
If you would like to come together with others, who choose to set the course of their life with INTENTIONS, PRAY AND AFFIRMATIONS
please join me in this weekly gathering.
NEXT MEETING:

CHANGING DAYS!
CHANGING VISIONS!
CHANGING VALUES!
This photograph taken years ago by my daughter, Tamara!
It is always a delight when I can use it for one of my postings!
For me it signifies the time of CHANGE!
Recently, I had the experience of needing to take time in silence
to just BE, because so much was changing and shifting in my life.
It was a marvelous few days.
Although I might have been able to "plow" ahead, I wanted to give my body an opportunity to take in all the newness and be ready to move ahead.
For me, sometimes, my body knows FIRST, was is happening...and my
mind needs to catch up.
Other times, my mind knows first and my body has to catch up.
I'm always amazed at the deep listening necessary in order to deeply understand our system.
Each of us is different.
Each of us is divinely unique.
How do you process change?
Is it different at different times?
What do you do?
Has it changed recently, as to how you process the little
and big things in life?

Today has been magical!
I can't even believe I'm saying this...
but it is true!!
A LITTLE BACKGROUND HERE:
I have spent the last 2 years ago, re-thinking my life from the ground up!
And in this process.... I've spent much time
siting in the MYSTERY of life....
not having a spiritual practice to ground in....
releasing the old...(just about everything)
reflecting on ALL of my spiritual practices...
revisiting old teachings...
experiencing many new teachings....
reclaiming my sovereignty....
and beginning to deeply honor my own unique life's experiences.
AND asking.... one NEW question...
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME TO DO RIGHT NOW?!
WHAT WOULD MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE RIGHT NOW...
TO STAND FOR...TO LIVE...TO SHARE?
So, of course, I had to look at my direct experience...
what have I been shown, that could make a difference.
So, without a lot more details about this process...
and it has been a huge on-going process for sure...
this is what I now KNOW with deep conviction.
1. EACH OF US MUST FIND OUR OWN TRUTH.
2. OUR JOURNEY/ EXPERIENCE, WHEN SHARED MAY INSPIRE ANOTHER'S TRUTH TO EMERGE WITH GREATER CLAIRTY.
3. GOD, MOTHER GAIA, LIFE FORCE (Use whatever name you wish) HEARS US AND IS RESPONSIVE.
4. OUR PRAYERS, INTENTIONS, AFFIRMATIONS
SHIFT THE WAY LIFE HAPPENS!
5. THERE ARE UNSEEN FORCES THAT SUPPORT "THE HIGHEST
AND BEST GOOD FOR ALL" IN HAPPENING"
6. WE (YOU AND ME) ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN
WAITING FOR.
7. ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!
AND WHY WAS TODAY MAGICAL....
All of the above truly came together today. Pieces
had been emerging for some time but finally the
Big Picture emerged. AND then I received an email
from a spiritual friend who had sent a link to a
"newspaper article" that was based in GREAT
fear not FAITH!
And I realized in that moment...
that I needed to begin speaking up in a much greater
way about ALL that I've been shown....
and that together we can truly
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
If you resonate with any of this...and want to
play your role... with
PRAYERS
INTENTIONS AND
AFFIRMATIONS....
to shift your personal life and
the planetary world....
Please join me..
BEGINNING, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24th!
For details please see: "Services" on this site.
Enjoy YOUR journey....

LIVING INTENTIONS
LIVING PRAYERS
LIVING CHANTS
Just as this picture shows a high mountain....and a steep cliff down to the road...and then even further down to the valley, so does our life, present us with highs and lows,
mountains, hills and valleys.
Is there a good way to navigate such terrain?
Is there anything we can do to make the road smoother?
Is there anything we can do to make the best of the journey?
I believe there are...
LIVING INTENTIONS
LIVING PRAYERS
LIVING AFFIRMATIONS AND
LIVING CHANTS
When we speak into the world, that which we want
to happen, we are setting the Laws of the Universe
to wok on our behalf.
These Intentions and Prayers may be about
personal or planetary situations.
They must be for "good" not ill.
They must be given with feeling behind them.
Throughout the last 20 years, I've been in numerous
situations, where the elements around me were
very wild!
Heavy Winds!
Pounding Rains!
Blinding Fog!
Dense Smoke!
The first time I experienced this was around 2000
at Big Sur, when the fog was so blinding I could not
see as I was attempting to make my way down the very windy mountainside. I did not see a place to pull over. I just had to keep going!
My heart was pounding! The fog was becoming more dense every yard I went.
With deep prayer I asked it to lift!
And within a very short time... it did!
It began to lift....and I could see the road ahead.
I've was in AWE!!
I was SO very grateful!
I was SO amazed at the response
from the Universe....
from God...
from Mother Gaia,
when my heart-filled Prayers
were heard almost instantly!
(Please do not be taken off course, if the languaging here
is not your preference. Please, see the Truth behind what I'm
saying.... and re-phrase it into language that makes sense
for YOU!)
Just recently, when the fires had left our
mountain tops covered by smoke from the fires,
I chanted a chant that I've come up with over the
last year for fires and smoke...and then released it.
Literally, the next day I was in AWE ONCE MORE,
when I drove to town in the afternoon, and the
skies were clear and the mountains could
easily be seen!
KNOW that as we move forward,
life can be filled with even more of such miracles!!
Why not begin to create MORE of what you
want in the world...by using
Intention, Pray and Chanting.
Also, over the last few years, I've learned more about
Mother Gaia and how such miracles happen and the involvement of the
Elementals in this miraculous process. More on that another time.
NEW CLASS BEGINNING AUGUST 24!

THE ART OF LIVING LIFE!!
As I reflected on this Blog Post, THE ART OF LIVING LIFE came to me as the title for it!
For me, this says it all!
Right now, I feel that
THE ART OF LIVING LIFE....
is truly that an ART!!!
How do we live in the middle of chaos?
How do we live when everything is changing?
How do we find a place of peace...
within all that is being pushed in our face?
For me, it's going back to the basics:
NATURE!!!
MEDITATION!!!
BEING FREE...TO BE ME!!!
FINDING MOMENTS OF PEACEFULNESS!!!
Walking in NATURE...really is a time of PEACEFULNESS!
MEDITATION gives me the opportunity to go within
and see what inner guidance is there for me.
Knowing that I do have the FREEDOM to say Yay or Nay
is huge! And I do have that choice!!
What is YOUR best way of living in these times
of transition?
I'd love to hear from you!
Enjoy the journey....
In JOY,

As this month of the Grand Restart of you comes to an end,
I invite you to ponder what you learned about yourself during this month as well as your next step?
For me, I feel I've grounded deeper into the importance
of staying centered and not being distracted by the "noise"
in the world as well as within. One needs to be centered and grounded so that the 101 voices do not pull you off base, or off center.
Below I'll share some of the activities I
know support me in this process:
SPENDING TIME IN NATURE
DAILY MEDITATION
EATING NUTRITIOUS FOOD
NEW ADVENTURES IN THE NATURAL WORLD
CONNECTION WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
PURPOSEFUL WORK
LISTENING TO MY INNER GUIDANCE
Today, as I was browsing in a local bookstore, I found
another book on PEACE! I was reminded how much I've enjoyed doing blogs as well as radio programming on the topic of PEACE.
Deepak Chopra, author of PEACE IS THE WAY, states that
"Today, is a good day for war to end!"
I so agree.
As you move forward after this month of introspection, I invite you
to reflect on the ROLE of PEACEFULNESS
into your life?
Do you live in Peace?
Do you feel at Peace?
Do you want to experience more Peace?
If you have any thoughts about this, I'd love
to have you connect with me via the
In Peace and Joy,

JUNE 10th - 18th
THE GRAND RESTART OF YOU (continues)
A week ago I did a radio program about how we want to
show up in the world...especially if we are doing a
GRAND RESTART.
Rather than focusing on the "doing" aspect of life,
let's reconsider the "Bring" aspect of life.
If one's focus is aligned with BEING in an authentic
and powerful way, then the doing will unfold from there.
What is important to YOU about the way you
want to BE in life?
Following are some qualities of Being...
which are most important to you?
AUTHENTIC
HONEST
KIND
AUTHENTIC
POSITIVE
TRUTHFUL
LOVING
EMPOWERED
CENTERED
At this point we are a little over half way through
the month of creating a restart!
What have you noticed about your process?
Has it been easy? difficult?
How have you been when the expected takes place?
If we go into the HEART of our self and face the challenges
of life from there, PATIENCE, KINDESS AND COMPASSION are out companions.
And on the other hand if we face life only from our "head" space, we may be disappointed when expectations are not met, or something unexpected happens.
As we enter into this week, I invite you to observe yourself for 15 minutes a day....step back and just observe how you respond.
Do you come from your heart?
Do you come from your head?
Are you able to have compassion for YOUR SELF, when you see
anything less than perfection?
From Thursday, June 23 - June 29th, I invite you to
RETREAT
as much as you can and consider deeply how you want to BE in this world.
Taking time out from life is always empowered when we are shifting our way of BEING in the world.
Enjoy the Process....
The JOURNEY is the important part of living!
with love, sharon
JUNE 1 - 3, 2022
THE GRAND RESTART OF YOU!
During June, I'll be blogging about
creating a GRAND RESTART OF YOUSELF AND YOUR LIFE!
For decades I often reflect on my life
and take time to ponder the changes and shifts I want to
make.
Last month, this came to my attention, so I decided I would BLOG about my experience as well as doing some radio programming.
Although my personal shift right now is along the lines of my business, I will be blogging and speaking on the bigger picture and the areas in which a GRANT RESTART might begin.
This is the time on the planet where we are all being called to be
true to our self, trusting our inner guidance and shifting anything in the outer world that is not aligned.
Following are some questions you might ask yourself to see how aligned you are with your internal compass.
AM I CONTENT WITH MY LIFE?
DOES MY LIFE BRING ME JOY?
DO I LOVE MYSELF AND HONOR MY ACTIONS?
DO I TRUST MY INNER VOICE?
Are there any areas in my life in which I would like
to have a GRAND RESTART?
If you would like to tune into my radio programs,
please go to

Enjoy the journey....
THERE IS only one you!!
Bring yourself into life fully with a GRAND RESTART!
In JOY,

In this time on the planet, the LIGHT....
(the positive energy) coming to the planet
is increasing greatly...day by day!
Some may not be aware of this, because there is also
much darkness here!
So, how do we live?
How do we act?
In the Bhagavad Gita there is an entire chapter devoted
to DIVINE AND UNDIVINE ATTRIBUTES.
Daily we can choose which attributes we are going to
bring forth!
Is the darkness, going to support you in acting
out "undivine" attributes?
Or, are you going to take the higher road and act
in ways that allow you to bring forth the
DIVINE ATTRIBUTES within yourself?
I invite you to read the list of
attributes below and allow
the energy of that quality to flow
through you. As we focus on
that which we want to embody,
that energy increases!
Enjoy the Journey!
No matter where you are right now...
the journey forward begins by taking just one
new small step.
Let's begin!
STRENGTH
FAITH
GOODNESS
COURAGE
FORGIVENESS
PEACE
HARMONY
GENEROSITY
SINCERITY
You may want to choose one to focus on each day
and truly live in a new way.
A great lady, called The Mother, lived and worked in Pondicherry
with Sri Aurobindo made the following statement:
"If you discover a very black hole, a think shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other."
We are all on a journey to discover more of the LIGHT
within. LOVE yourself... TODAY, right where you are.
AND enjoy the journey forward into more LIGHT!
Know Yourself!
Love Yourself!
Conquer Yourself!
Express Yourself!
Enjoy the journey....

"Every soul has some unique quality that no one else has.
Every soul is hallowed because in each one there is an individual expression of the Infinite found in no one else. "
--Paramahansa Yogananda
Each flowers is unique in color, size, shape and texture
making it one of a kind!!
Each person has unique traits, skills, mannerisms,
abilities, insights and visions.
What do you have to give to the world, showing that YOU
have been here!???
What is the mark you will leave on the world?
PERSONAL STORY:
My Grandmother began a quilt for me, the year after I was
born. It is a large one, about 6' x 7'. On it are about 30
large floral designs, each unique. And each floral design
it made up of numerous different fabrics, one for each pedal of the flower. It certainly is one of a kind.
Now, decades later, it is
still here.... showing it's uniqueness to all!
For me, it all represents the deep love she
had for me, which she demonstrated to me personally
for decades.
What is the legacy YOU are going to leave?
What do you want to be remembered for?
In our world today, we are each being called
to show our individual "colors" and
be OUR SELF!
And in doing so, you have the opportunity to truly
make a difference!
Enjoy the journey....

"Every soul has some unique quality that no one else has.
Every soul is hallowed because in each one there is an individual expression of the Infinite found in no one else. "
--Paramahansa Yogananda
Because everyone is unique, everyone is called to play a different
role in life. When you listen to your guidance you will know what your role is to play at this time.
Becoming still...
Spending time in nature...
Meditating...
Prayer....
Chanting...
are various ways that may support you in having
clarity about your purpose in life...
Perhaps you are being called to speak up for the welfare
of children...
Perhaps you are called to bring together people with
differing points of view...
Or perhaps you are called to run for a public office and
create a climate of hop and possibility in your community...
When you take time in silence...
you will know YOUR next step....
TRUST!
LIVE IN FAITH!
HAVE STRENGTH AND
COURAGE...
to take your next step!

Together We Grow...

If you have followed this blog you will recall that often I've
written about the Ascended Masters.
These are Great men and women who have walked on planet Earth but are no longer here, they have made their transition.
And yet, they are behind the scenes working for the
well-being of Our Earth.
Following is a prayer that can be said out loud
or silently to evoke such Great Masters
into greater action. Because of Universal Laws, they
are not able to enter into our world, without our
consent.
The more asking for their support, the greater power
they have in making a difference. This is one way
in which we can use our power for good.
Therefore, you can call on the Master or Masters that
you are connected to and ask them to support the
ascension here, on your behalf.
Feel free to change this prayer to fit what you feel in your heart.
IN THE NAME OF GOD,
ASCENDED MASTERS: JESUS...
SAINT GERMAIN...
MASTER EL MORYA
AND ALL THE ASCENDED MASTERS and
COSMIC BEINGS
OVERSEEING THE ASCENSION OF PLANET EARTH AND
THE GALAXIES...
TAKE COMMAND OF THE ENTIRE DIRE
SITUATION HERE AND ACT TO BRING ABOUT
FREEDOM...
LIBERATION...
PEACE AND
JUSTICE FOR ALL....
ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL...
LET IT BE DONE!
in loving peace....

THINK PEACE!
SPEAK PEACE!
ACT IN PEACE!
BE PEACE!
Each person is always sending out an energy or vibration! It is just what happens.
Right now, I invite you to stop and reflect on what is the energy or vibration
that is dominant within you at this moment?
Although emotions come and go, the on-going
vibration within is what you AND I send out.
Is it one of Love?
Is it one of Anger?
Is it one of PEACE?
Prayers, meditations or chanting can help to lift
our vibration.
The collective consciousness is a sum total of
all of us together.
Our planet needs for each of us to work on
BEING A PERSON OF PEACE!
A spiritual Teacher, Sri Atmananda, has declared
March 8th, to be
WORLD PEACE DAY!
I feel it is so needed at this time.
Please do what YOU can to support
the vibration of PEACE on the planet...
today, tomorrow....and every day
until we can say
OUR PLANET IS A PLANET OF PEACE!!!
With deep love and gratitude,
sharon

LIVING TRUTHS FOR LIFE TODAY
As I listen to so many spiritual Teachers in the world today
speak about these times, the message I'm hearing is...
BE THE PEACE!
This resonates so deeply with me. For years now, I've shared the
book entitled, PEACE IS THE WAY, by Deepak Chopra.
The opening words in his book are:
"TODAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR WAR TO COME TO AN END."
And the opening page in his book has a quote by Mahatma Gandhi.
It says: There is no way to peace. Peace is the way."
In the last two radio programs I've done, I've spoken about the vibration that each of us sends out into the world. And it is that vibration that creates the current vibration on the Planet.
One of the spiritual Teachers I listened to today was Mooji. And he reminded all the listeners that there are SO many people around the world...are in prayer for the world....
are blessing the world...and ALL of its peoples.
He reminds us not to take sides, to keep calm
and not to engage in the media reports and allow fear to
take us over.
In the book, PEACE IS THE WAY, Chopra offers a way for each day of the week...as to how to become a peacemaker.
I've done numerous programs on this book through the years, which are all in the archives at
www.BlogTalkRadio.com/VoiceOfChange
I hope you enjoy them.
Here is what Chopra suggests:
SUNDAY: BEING FOR PEACE
MONDAY: THINKING FOR PEACE
TUESDAY: FEELING FOR PEACE
WEDNESDAY: SPEAKING FOR PEACE
THURSDAY: ACTING FOR PEACE
FRIDAY: CREATING FOR PEACE
SATURDAY: SHARING FOR PEACE
Join me and SO many others who choose to
BE PEACE today....
and with body, mind and heart....
stand for PEACE!!
Namaste,
Sharon

LIVING TRUTHS FROM THE GITA
The Bhagavad Gita is a study that can be applied to one's daily life today...in 2022!
For decades I've written and spoken about Principles for Parenting. I found it always much more effective to apply "Living Principles" to a parenting situation rather than having to look at each specific issue and attempt to solve that.
In the same way, when we look at the Gita and learn the principles or truths in it, then we can more easily see our individual issues are simply about aligning with a living truth .
As human beings, there is always a battle going on within us between what might be called, "Right" action and what might be easier or what we want to do!
For example:
Do we get angry at a family member or friend because they think differently than we do, or do we allow them to follow their own direction?
Do we choose to exercise or watch TV?
Do we become passive in the midst of a huge challenge
or do we take the actions we can?
When spiritual scriptures are studied and understood, then right action is more easily taken.
Please join me Saturday, March 5th at 1 PM, Pacific Time for another radio program on
Living Truths from the Gita.

DIVINE QUALITIES TO EMBODY
Today, I began a 40 Day Reading of the Bhagavad Gita. And during the next 40 days I will be blogging on a regular basis as well as doing several radio programs on Living Truth from the Gita.
At the close of the program today, I did a meditation on several Divine Attributes. Many are mentioned in the 16th chapter of the Gita. I was surprised and delighted to see that the last bog I wrote also mentioned these qualities. They are beautiful ones to incorporate into our lives on a day to day basis. The only one I changed below was LOVE. I changed it to Loving Kindness.
The more such qualities as these are LIVED on the planet...day to day...and week to week, the sooner we will be able to
see a brighter future for all on this planet and in this galaxy.
STRENGTH
COURAGE
FAITH
TRUST
FORGIVENESS
LOVING KINDNESS
KINDNESS
Wishing each of you the best in your life...
as we continue to navigate these
times of transition.

PRELEASING THE OLD AND
WELCOMING THE NEW!
Some years ago when I was visiting my family, my daughter and I were walking around the area where she was going to college in Santa Barbara. We came upon this amazing Labyrinth. This is one of many gorgeous pictures she took on that day.
A labyrinth is an ancient practice that can be practiced in many ways. With this being the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 this week-end, I'm reflecting on one way I've learned to walk such a labyrinth.
And that is to walk it two times. The first releasing the old...and the second welcoming in the new.
Another way is just to open your heart...and walk in JOY...and see what
emerges.
Tonight as I'm writing this, I'm pondering how this might be done without having such a labyrinth to walk nearby. And for me it's so cold here (it's suppose to be -10 degrees tonight) so I need to create such an exercise for indoors not outdoors.
I think it could be done very easily in one's home. Simply think of a way of walking around in your home. Walk, the first time releasing the old...and the second time welcoming the new. Or as suggested above, just walk in JOY and see what emerges.
A NEW IDEA FOR THESE TIMES OF TRANSITION.
During these challenging times on the planet I also believe that we need to have something to aspire to...something to reach for....something to encourage us to keep on keeping on.
That is probably the reason I'm been sharing special quotes from many Masters on Universal Wisdom over the last couple of months.
So, I'll also leave you with some qualities that I feel may inspire us as we enter into the coming year. The more such qualities as these are LIVED on the planet...day to day...and week to week, the sooner we will be able to
see a brighter future for all on this planet and in this galaxy.
STRENGTH
COURAGE
FAITH
TRUST
FORGIVENESS
LOVE
KINDNESS
Wishing each of you the best in your life...
as we continue to navigate these
times of transition.

POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE MASTER
PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA
Develop that consciousness within yourself wherein a little happiness or a little sorrow cannot disturb the calm lake of your mind, for a ruffled mind cannot mirror the reflection of God in the soul.
The beauty in the world bespeaks the creative motherly instinct of God, and when we look upon all the good in Nature, we experience a feeling of tenderness within us.
In each soul is the unique imprint of the grace of God. Nowhere in the world is there another exactly like you.
If you can learn to understand others, and to free our minds from all prejudices born of environment, we begin to express the perfect image of God within us and to find it in all.
Through the intuition of your soul feel the manifestation of God bursting through the clouds of your restlessness as great peace and joy.
When you use life's experiences as your teacher, and learn from them the true nature of the world and your part in it, those experiences become valuable guides to eternal fulfillment and happiness.
Purity, peace, happiness beyond dreams, are sparkling and dancing within your soul.

JOURNALS
A Journal is a powerful way of documenting our thoughts, feelings and insights. The three I mention below I have found to be extremely helpful on my journey in life.
GRATITUDE JOURNAL
Years ago it was suggested to me to keep a gratitude
journal which I have done off and on ever since.
I'm seeing how powerful it is to acknowledge what goodness is in my life. And this is not surprising, knowing that there is a Universal Law that increases that which we acknowledge or put our attention on.
Just stating three gratitudes a day is a powerful way of saying
THANK YOU to the Universe!
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT JOURNAL
Rhonda Britten in her numerous books on FEARLESS LIVING, suggests we keep an acknowledgement journal. This is a powerful action I've discovered. As we acknowledge our self for actions we've taken, we are empowered to take more positive actions.
I so enjoyed reading that St. Germain states that his ascension took place because he made 2 million right decisions over numerous lifetimes.
MEDITATION JOURNAL
Years ago my guru, Sat Shree, suggested to me that I keep a meditation journal. I found it SO VERY powerful! Often I would actually use colored pencils to draw the visions from my meditations or just the feelings that stayed with me after the meditation. I am not an artist, but just using colors on the page in my journal did help to capture the essence of those meditations.
During a meditation, often we are in a much higher state of consciousness and documenting such meditations can be a powerful experience. I found that even weeks after I had made such entries, I could come back to the page and recapture the vibration from such those meditations in the moment.

EACH CHOICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
Awake! Be the witness of your thoughts.
You are what observes, not what you observe."
"One moment can change a day,
One day can change a life and
One life can change the world."
"Serenity comes when you trade
expectations for acceptance."
" If you light a lamp for someone,
it will also brighten your path."
"True and lasting inner peace can never be found
in external things. It can only be found within.
And then once we find and nurture it within
ourselves, it radiates outward."
"Your worst enemy is your best teacher."
"Speak the truth.
Give whatever you can.
Never be angry.
These three steps will lead you into
the presence of the gods."

THE BLESSING OF NATURE
If you are reflecting on what your next
step might be, getting out into nature
is really important.
I'm in awe at times of the difference
it makes when we leave the house behind...
the television behind...
the phone behind...
the computer behind...
and walk out into
NATURE....
alone!
And when you do this...
listen to you body!
When we are present with the body....
it speaks to us!
Both together (being in nature AND listening to the body)
is a very
quick and efficient way to
rejuvenate and feel
totally refreshed!
Blessings dear one...

THE ART OF THE SPOKEN WORD
Many years ago during my seeking era, I found a
teaching where I needed to repeat a reading 3x a day.
And it was at this time I learned the POWER in
speaking uplifting and empowering words
out loud!
Mark and Elizabeth Prophet wrote the book,
The Science of the Spoken Word. In the book
they go into numerous aspects about the spoken
word. If you are interested in a very powerful
spiritual practice, you may want to invest in this book.
One of the first Violet Flame mantras/ decrees, I learned
is as follows:
I AM the violet flame
In action in me now
I AM the violet flame
To Light alone I bow
I AM the violet flame
In mighty cosmic power
I AM the light of God
Shining every hour
I AM the violet flame
Blazing like a sun
I AM God's sacred power
Freeing every one
After I learned this one...
I learned another even shorter one...
that I feel is SO powerful for
personal transformation and for
decreeing on behalf of OUR
mother earth!
I AM a being of Violet Fire
I AM the purity God desires.
AND
The Earth is a planet of Violet Fire
The Earth is the purity God desires.
If this practice calls to you, I invite you
to experiment and see what calls to your spirit.
Recently, I asked that the Violet Flame
enter my life in 3 different ways and then
went to bed. I awakened in the morning...
with a fresh new way of looking at
what I had asked for and immediately
was guided as to what to do and how
to do it! It was such a gift!!
There is SO much material about the Violet Flame,
so I've decided to share just a few things that
supported me as I began this work.
However, know that
The Summit Lighthouse has numerous Teachings about
St. Germain and the violet flame. And at
you can sign up for 30 days of excellent writing
on the Violet Flame.
It is my deep desire that these blogs support you in this process!
Please be in contact if you need additional support.
Together We Learn...
Together We Grow!!!
with great love,

A WRITING BY ST. GERMAIN
"The Shining of the Flaming Fire by Night"
I will never give up
I will never turn back
I will never submit
I will bear the flame of freedom unto my victory
I will bear the flame in honor
I will sustain they glory of life within my nation
I will sustain the glory of life within my being
I will win my ascension
I will forsake all idols and
I will forsake the idol of my outer self
I will have the glory of my immaculate divinely
conceived Self manifesting within me
I AM freedom and
I AM determined to be freedom
I AM the flame of freedom and
I AM determined to bear it to all
I AM God's freedom and he is indeed free
I AM freed by his power and his power is supreme
I AM fulfilling the purposes of God's kingdom
This has been so inspiring to me!
Often when we work on behalf of the LIGHT...
our work is not acknowledged...or even
appreciated and can even be
put down, ignored and/or shamed.
This reminds me that no matter what....
Working for Freedom for ALL...
is worth it...and
to never give up!
Blessings dear one...

THE OPPORTUNITY OF THIS TIME
ON THE PLANET
As I begin to share with you more about the Ascended Masters and the Teachings they have brought yo us, I'm reliving the state of AWE I was first in when I learned more about these...and especially about
the legacy of St. Germain.
I was introduced to St. Germain over a decade ago and the concept of the "violet flame". And yet at the time, it didn't deeply impact me.
However, recently, the depth of his Teachings and the Power of them for today...has deeply and profoundly touched me.
I'm going to share with you just a few facts that underlie the feeling of AWE I had as I learned about this body of knowledge!
1. Jesus was here to oversee the Piscean Age and St. Germain is here to oversee the bring in the Aquarian Age. Jesus will continue to play an essential role with his radiation of the Christ Consciousness to all of mankind.
2. St. Germain has been working on behalf of freedom and justice for life times. He has incarnated as all of the following people:
SAINT JOSEPH
(father of Jesus and Mary's husband)
ROGER BACON (1220 - 1292)
(philosopher, mon, and forerunner of modern science)
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS (1451 - 1506)
(discoverer of America)
FRANCIS BACON (1561 - 1626)
(father of inductive reasoning and the scientific method)
SAINT GERMAIN (1710 - 1822)
(alchemist, scholar, musician and diplomat)
3. St. Germain is the seventh angel prophesied in the Bible in Revelations 10:7.
4. Freedom and Justice are the foundational qualities that Saint Germain
desires to anchor on the planet at this time.
5. At this time we each need to balance our karma (both personal and collective). St. Germain wants to help us to do that.
6. Thus, he has gained the permission of the Lords of Karma to bring the Violet Flame to the Planet at this time.
7. AND THEN SAINT GERMAIN SPOKE THROUGH THE MESSENGERS AND MADE THE FOLLOWING PROFOUND STATEMENT:
Beloved ones, there is a mounting strife, a sense of injustice and yet prejudice betwixt the races in the United States and throughout the world...
Beloved ones, there is only one activity that can resolve the crisis of division of the races in America and throughout the earth, and it is the violet flame.
I hope that YOU sense the same AWE I did when I learned about all this.
There is a Divine Plan at work.
We just have to look in the right place...for the answers.
The Summit Lighthouse has numerous Teachings about
St. Germain and the violet flame.

AWAKENING TO THE FULL HISTORY OF OUR PLANET & GALAXY
If you have been following my blog and/ or radio programs over the last 6 months or so, then you've seen that I've mentioned that there are 4 different areas to be aware in order to make sense of all that is happening today.
These 4 areas are as follows:
AWAKENING INTO LIVING CONSCIOUSLY
AWAKENING INTO THE TRUH OF WHO YOU ARE
AWAKENING INTO THE REAL HISTORY OF OUR PLANET AND GALAZY
AWAKENING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF YOU
Today, I want to focus on some aspects of the history of our planet.
Unfortunately, throughout history, there has become this
huge divide between those who think of themselves
as
"SPIRITUAL" and those that consider themselves
"NOT SPIRITUAL"!
And with this happening, some things that really are based in truth, aren't looked at by many.
In addition, even those in the 'SPIRITUAL" category....dismiss many ideas that surface because they are aligned with a different Truth..
And another huge factor is that some very important TRUTHS are not easily discovered. They are not mainstream teachings and have been only discussed within the walls of specific Teachings.
However, because of these times, some of the very powerful
Teachings, ones that had been kept inside the walls of the monastery or
within a particular teaching, have been released to the public.
As I read some of these Teachings for the first time I'm in AWE that these Teachings are available to ALL of us...
for THESE times...
and can make a HUGE DIFFERENCE if practiced!!
There are a number of very advanced souls.... who
have walked this path we are on now....
and have "graduated"... meaning that have passed
all of their tests...and
NOW THEY ARE HERE TO SUPPORT US AT THIS
CRUCIAL TIME ON THE PLANET!!
Among these masters are:
GAUTAMA BUDDHA
MAITREYA
JESUS CHRIST
ZARATHUSRA
MOSES
MELCHIZEDEK
MOTHER MAY
SIANT FRANCIS
SAINT GERMAIN
KUAN YIN
We are in the midst of very challenging times...
and if you resonate with any of this...
YOU may be one called to be of
SERVICE TO THE PLANET AT THIS TIME!!
Jesus was the Master here to guide
humanity through the Piscean Age.
And now there is another Master here
to guide us into the Aquarian Age.
He has worked on this planet for eons to
support
JUSTICE AND FREEDOM!
And his teachings are NOW
available for US...
for THIS TIME on the planet!!
The conversation will continue tomorrow....
It is my deep desire that these blogs support you in this process!

LIFE IN OUR WORLD TODAY!
If you have been following my blog and/ or radio programs over the last 6 months or so, then you've seen that I've mentioned that there are 4 different areas to be aware in order to make sense of all that is happening today.
These 4 areas are as follows:
AWAKENING INTO LIVING CONSCIOUSLY
AWAKENING INTO THE TRUH OF WHO YOU ARE
AWAKENING INTO THE REAL HISTORY OF OUR PLANET AND GALAZY
AWAKENING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF YOU
Because we are shifting from the Piscean Age to the Aquarius Age,
SO much is changing!
I feel that understanding just ONE new aspect of this shift, can change everything for us! I went through such a shift about 18 months ago, when I about some "truths" that had been hidden...and it shifted so much.
When we understand, the new playing ground that is emerging, it is
so much easier to live life!
I invite you just to consider one area to begin with. Less is always MORE!
Following are 4 questions for you to consider, if you wish to look more closely at any of the above categories. Perhaps others will come into your mind. If they do, follow YOUR questions. They are the most important for YOU to consider.
LIVING CONSCIOUSLY:
Are you conscious...present... in the "NOW" in your daily
interactions? If you were to become just a little more present... how might that change your life?
THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE:
You, along with everyone on the planet, have a SPARK
of the Life Force within you. What does that mean?
What might be the far-reaching consequences of this?
THE REAL HISTORY OF OUR PLANET/GALAXY
Would it change things for you, if you were to deeply
understand that there is a Divine Plan for this planet and galaxy
and that there are masters who have walked on Earth for ages...are watching over us?
THE POSSIBILITY OF YOU
Do you realize that YOU are playing an essential part in the
unfolding of this Earthly adventure? Know that what we do
or do not do, has an impact.
I do understand that this time on the planet is creating
"growing" pains for all of us.
MOTHER EARTH is shifting... growing...
and so are we! We are being asked to "hold" more than ever before...
It is my deep desire that these blogs support you in this process!

YOUR SUPPORT TEAM!
Years ago when my husband's sister was in the hospital in Oregon,
she shared that she wasn't being heard!
So, I wrote up a
"Bill of Rights" for her....
to empower her to speak up for the care she wanted.
From my recent experience, of becoming ill very suddenly,
and needing others to support me, I'm
re-creating what I wrote up years ago for Patricia.
Bill of Rights for Health Care
1. You have the right to create a team of people to advocate for your health care/ wellness!
2. You have the right to have your team listen to what YOU want and what you do not want.
3. You have the responsibility to listen to what your team of loved one
may suggest, but in the end YOU make your own choice.
4. You have the right to leave a hospital if you choose or change doctors/ health care professionals!
5. YOU have the POWER OF CHOICE!
Exercise it!
NOTE: On my Team one person took the lead, but others were there to support her. It can be a lot for one person to handle, so support is
wonderful! My team of 4 people, offered me some excellent suggestions and because I trusted each of them, I took 90% of their advice!
I'm so grateful I did. And on one particular topic, I did not take the their advice, but together we found other options. I'm so deeply grateful for all they did to support my recovery!
Let us learn how to live in our full power!
No one else.... no entity.... no organization should have power
over our health/ wellness!
Together We Learn...
Together We Grow!!!

THE ART OF LIVING LIFE:
THE ART OF LIVING LOVE
Often as I begin a blog, I search for a picture and the picture often speaks to me about what I should write about.
Today this picture of all these hearts came up!
My children and I have collected HEART shaped rocks
for decades!
I've heard that other languages have many
different words for LOVE.
What are other words in the English language
that are qualities or attributes of
LOVE?
What are YOUR favorite three?
For me.... I'll say:
CARING!
COMMUNICATION!
CONNECTION!
I'd so enjoying heard what your 3 words are!!
with great love,

THE ART OF LIVING LIFE:
ACCEPTING LIFE....
ACCEPTING DEATH...
Although I've wanted to blog regularly, today,
I'm finding it most difficult to write.
We lost a very close friend of our family
today....
We've known her for about 30 years...
and she was only in her early 40's!
Just less than a month ago, she passed on
information to my daughter.... which
was crucial for my recovery from
becoming ill over night!
And now she is gone!!
Gone into God's Larger World...
as I have come to call it!
Today, I want to honor her beautiful spirit!
She was fun to be with....
as well as funny....
caring...
loving...and
GIVING!!!!
We have many delightful pictures of
her through the years....
which will always bring a smile to our
face...
remembering her love of life!!
We are all deeply saddened that this beautiful
spirit is no longer with us on this plane...
but know she is flying high...
into her next journey....
her next adventure...
and we send her off with
LOVE- LOVE - LOVE!!!!
Thank you dear heart for the memories...
sharing your light with us...
and all that you did to make this world a
better place!
YOU made a significant difference in the
lives of others!!!
with great love,
sharon

THE ART OF LIVING LIFE
THE JOY OF NATURE....
The Extra-Ordinary Importance of Nature...
for our Mind, Body and Soul!
Yesterday I wrote this entire BLOG for November 11 and just as I was going to publish it, both days, November 10 and 11 disappeared when I accidently hit a key on my keyboard!!
Need I state that I was very disappointed!
SO, here I am back again, attempting
to re- create the
air of enthusiasm I believe yesterday's blog
held, because it was SO timely!
Yesterday, I went into google in search of a quote for the blog.
Instead I saw a herd of bison walking down the middle of a road.
I clicked on the video and learned that this herd had stopped all the traffic in YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, as they strolled
down the center of the street, in the process of their migration.
As I watched the 4 minute video, my body went into
another state...one of relaxation....
of joy...
of pleasure...
of peacefulness...
of appreciation of life!
and I realized just how important it is to be in anture...
on a regular basis!
We can read articles about the importance
of NATURE....but when we experience
it first hand, our body
KNOWS....the importance of
Mother Nature and what is
does for our MIND...
BODY...
AND SPIRIT!
Being in Nature....
their is a magic.... that happens!
Our attention becomes focused on the MOMENT....
and all else can drop away.
Especially during these times of great turmoil....
our body needs a rest....
from all that is going on....
It needs a "reset"...
a rejuvenation.....
a time to relax....
EXERCISE: THE ART OF LIVING:
Keep a log for just 24 hours of where your time
is spent. At the end of the period, total
the minutes/ hours spent on
various activities, such as
WORK
RELATONSHIPS
ON MEDIA DEVICES
EXERCISE
RECREATION
BEING IN NATURE
SPIRITUAL STUDY
IN FEAR/ WORRY/
Through the years I've done this exercise numerous times, sent first hearing about it in Rhonda Brittan's book:
Fearless Living
I find it very helpful to look at my life
objectively and see what is working
and what I could shift to create a more
balanced day.
I'd love to hear from you regarding
your experience.
with love, sharon

THE ART OF LIVING LIFE
It has been almost 2 months since I wrote a BLOG.
Life has been full in every way. As I reflect on these
last 6 or 7 weeks, I feel that the lessons learned have been
SO extraordinary, I wanted to share.
LIFE'S LESSONS:
1. Know Your Values! (inside and out!)
Your LIFE may depend on them!
2. Be willing to STOP everything and take care
of yourself if needed!
3. Ask for help if you need support!
4. Be willing to accept LOVE.... love
that makes your cup runneth over!
5. Be willing to follow your heart and
the direction the Universe shows you!
Be willing to be BOLD if needed!
6. Illness can come in a second. Have a
support team in place! Make sure they know
what YOU want. Be willing to listen
to others, but in the end follow YOUR values!
7. Have a team of health professionals in place!
Ask for their expertise! But know YOU
have Freedom of Choice!
8. Give gratitude for everyone and everything !
9. Listen "over-time" to the quiet
voice within. Have the courage to follow!
10. Stay centered...
Listen....
Allow...
Pray...
Forgive....
Reflect....
Love....
11. KNOW that there is a Divine Plan
working at all times behind ALL that is
going on!
Trust!
Have Faith!
KNOW that YOU have a role
to play in life...
PLAY YOUR ROLE!
12. Live with Gratitude!
PS: I chose the lotus flower to go with this blog
because It has its roots in the mud! And yet, it grows into such a gorgeous flower.
Isn't it the same with us human beings?
We too, sometimes have much mud to grow
out of...along the journey of life.
And yet when we know the Truth of who
we are...that each of us, is a
center of God conscious Power....
we have the courage and the strength
to keep on keeping on!
TOGETHER WE LEARN...
TOGETHER WE GROW!
with deep blessings on your journey....
