The Remembrance Codes

When you are playing a game and you successfully complete a level, what happens?  You GET to go to a new level with an additional or new challenge.  Lucky you!  Your earned that!  

I recently had a situation where this is how I decided to see it.  I earned this new challenge to see how I can implement the tools that I have and rest in the peace that is quite easily found when things are going favorably.

This episode I share that challenge and encourage you to look at your adversity as a new level that is meant to challenge you to grow and expand.  When you meet the challenge with patience and presence and yes, even gratitude it will be much easier to conquer the new obstacles on your peaceful path.

This week I want to remind you that connecting with loved ones on the other side is not something that is reserved for a select few.  Connecting with loved ones is available to absolutely all of us when we are able to move from missing what was to find that the relationship has changed but is not gone.  

When ice melts you can mourn the missing cube or begin to know it differently - as water.  Okay, Grandma is not an ice cube but just because there was a change in form does not mean you cannot continue knowing her... you just have to accept and embrace that it is different.

Thanks for listening.... even when I have an impromptu ramble on and choke back tears as I record.  I am truly grateful to be on this journey with you.

In this episode, I share with you my journey in understanding what my fears are and how leaning into them instead of avoiding or running away from them has provided me opportunities to know myself better.  Fears don't make us weak.  They, like our triggers, are teachers and can help us bring awareness to areas that we are operating from limiting beliefs, comparison, or even the past.

I hope you enjoy the journey through my fears and challenge yourself to shine a light of your fears.  As DG says, it is not about being fearless, but about fearing less.

Thank you for your reviews and for sharing this with others!

I'll admit it.  It is hard to own our mess.  It is easier to blame your spouse, kids, boss, the lady who cut you off when clearly you had the right of way etc.  But putting the accountability outside of yourself also puts the power there.  And that is NOT where it belongs.

When we drop our belief in victims and accept that our world is an effect of our thinking and beliefs, we take that power back.  'Your thoughts are the precursors for your experience.  Thoughts, raised to the lever of beliefs become your provisional reality."* If you are ready to change your world, you have to first take accountability for what you have created.

Thanks so much for listening.  Let's take our power back and start creating from a place of love for ourselves and each other.
  

This week I am wanted to provide a quick follow up on the previous episode where I detailed my rocky return to everyday life from a 4-week nature vacation.  I share the strategy I use to identify what was needed and to take actionable steps toward finding balance.

I also share a realization from the trip about how you can completely shift your perspective by turning off the noise and choosing to experience people and places as opposed to receiving the fear-based narrative that dominates our culture.  In the days when media would like you to know how awful everything and everyone on the 'other side' is, I found myself truly in love with this land.  And that is what I am bringing forward.  I choose to focus on and amplify the energy of what is right, what is beautiful, what is shared and enjoyed.

And I am asking for your help!

With love - Susan

Oh she's back!  And I cannot wait to tell you about all of the insights and experiences of four weeks of travel but let me tell you first about the rude awakening that my return to normal has been.  I am a powerful manifestor (and so are you) and for days instead of envisioning my easy return, my thoughts focused on how hard it would be to go from chasing sunsets and having no earthly idea what day it is, to routine and schedules and my overbooked schedule to catch up on life.  Well low and behold, 'how hard' is exactly what I have gotten.... 

This episode is just a quick catch up on the return and my call to action to do the things that I know work for me to live a life I love.  Have I been doing them? No.  Have I wanted to crawl into a ball and cry for days? Yes.  So it is time for me to right the ship.....  and once I do, I have so many awesome things to share from my month away!

Summary
Lessons learned on the tennis court can be applied to life. Every situation is a classroom, teaching us valuable lessons. It's important to dial into these situations and ask ourselves what we are meant to learn from them. The more we put thought and resonance into the lessons, the more we understand ourselves. Context is everything, and without it, nothing matters. We should withhold judgment and honor that we don't know everything. It's important to find our own connection and beliefs, based on our own experiences and intuition. Tolerance and respect for everyone's journey is key.
