"Listen to the gentle voice within! Choose to be present and allow the movement of your day to be designed by your heart. Stop...breathe...listen...and be fully present."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"As the sun rises I claim the beauty and breathe it in! Whatever happens in my day I am going to remember the brilliant sky and the awesome light. I am choosing to stay right here....in my open heart and share it with my family and friends. If there is struggle ahead the light will guide me through the darkness."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Love or Fear is at the root of each experience and every thought. The evolution of fear is to rise up to be released and dissolved into love. The antidote to fear is faith. When in the moment we feel fear....welcome it....acknowledge that the fear is here and be with it for as long as you need to. Allow your awareness to move you into faith as the fear melts away.

The love is waiting to be connected....breathe and say to your self "I am here ". Feel your heart open to the love and peace that is yours! Try not to make choices from fear. If your anxiety rises again throughout the day.....breathe into the uncomfortable emotions and say to your self "I am here". Take the time to check inside and become conscious of every precious moment. This exercise keeps you present, connected and centered. Each day brings to you opportunities to manifest from peace, love, passion, purpose and faith.

You are the creator and life will support your evolution."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Life will definitely stretch us! What restricts us is when we are so full of negative feelings that our heart closes and we become a walking time bomb or a miserable person. Take care of yourself so that no one else has to!

Release the emotional toxicity and find your way back to a more expanded self.... connected to your higher self and the faith that you are taken care of .

Take the time to support yourself and feel your self-worth strengthen. When you are in love and peace you will attract a beautiful day!!!"

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"I will listen to the truth of my own heart. I won't be disappointed when I stop waiting for someone else to make things happen.
I am the creator and God and the Universe support my creativity..... Respond to life with the presence of your own heart."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Trust that everything is in divine order. From out of nowhere life changes in an instant....take the time to receive the message and the intimate time with your own feelings. You don't have to rush into anything except to immediately breathe and sit with yourself for a while. Time will show you the design and the purpose becomes part of your knowledge. Connect to your soul's desire from the wisdom that you have gained and respond instead of react. Trust that you are worthy of love and peace....and go with the flow. Try not to resist or control...become open .....we don't know what is on the other side of this experience. The gift is here for you to see!"

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"We cannot connect with love in our hearts or in our life if we are emotionally tormented. Taking care of everyone else will take up the time needed for our own connection to self.
The busy-ness and exhaustion pushes hard and stops us from feeling joy. Take the time to breathe deeply into this very moment and say to yourself....I am here....I am going to take care of you....I love you!"

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Everyone is craving peace and this is fueling consciousness....even when life is struggling there is an undercurrent of awareness that can keep us awake. The pulse of humanity connects the heartbeat of love and compassion...shifting and opening to a new world."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Can we see the world and the people in our world as healing....in the process of healing! The consciousness of mistrust and disapproval invades society and can create a controlled mind and heart with fear....thus becoming unconscious. Today can be a remarkable day for you! The vibration of faith and peace is lifting our hearts and moving us into balance. Be the witness from the center of your conscious, loving heart."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Find out what makes you happy....get to know yourself in the silence of your heart, mind and spirit....
Be creative, walk in nature, dance to your favourite music, read books that inspire you, write poetry, look in the mirror and see your beauty.
Breathe into all that you are ... connect to the love and peace of your heart and share it.
Find your connection to your life worth living."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Sometimes the sun is shining and darkness falls all at the same time. We then have to take care of our human nature while the beauty of mother nature embraces us with such gentle loveliness. It is hard to see the beauty and love when it is dark. Sometimes we have to stay inside to protect ourselves from the struggle upon us and eventually ...once the emotions have cleared the way...we can step outside again and feel the warmth of the sun. Take the time to be with the darkness and allow the unconditional love of self be the hand to support your journey forward."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Life has a way to wake us up to the pain in our hearts. Someone's words or actions may ruffle our feathers, blindside us, knock the wind out of our sails or pull the rug out from under our feet... when we least expect it. At this time we need to connect with our own hurt in order to find our way to the place of letting go. It is not easy but necessary. Maybe not at the time of emotional ignition, but once the hurt has been released fully we can then witness what is really going on. False power or ego may become the mask of truth yet when we move into our own feelings and awareness we can see the picture more clearly. It's time to stay with our own pain instead of leaving or disconnecting from the relationship that is bringing us to consciousness...show up for yourself."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Fear paralizes us and when we are in this place it is hard to trust. Trust yourself and know that once the fear is released, the love will take over. Trust that you are supported and that you are worthy of love, abundance and purpose."

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Patience can slowly take over once we let go of control. Allowing and acceptance moves us into the presence of the moment and from this precious place change can be effortless. Like the beauty of nature as we drifted down the river, I witnessed the coloured leaves of fall let go, with ease, as the gentle wind lifted them from their branches.

One moment I was emerged in the brilliant colors and the next moment the trees were naked and free. I could feel their outer vulnerability and the warmth of the sun revealed a strength. These ancient trees did not resist....they participated fully....and I felt my emotions as they rose to the occassion. I too experienced a change in me and I connected with the peacefulness of Mother Nature's Thanksgiving Show. I am grateful."

Colleen

"We attract what we need, to experience who we are. As I sit around my Thanksgiving table I will feel my heart open as I listen to stories shared and witness dramas unfolding. I am grateful for the calm that I feel in me and I will share the peace with my family."

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Colleen

Peace gives me all of my answers. Once I move away my expectations, disappointments and fear I can allow the presence of peace to move me into gratefulness. With this connection within I can begin to live present...day to day ....not knowing what the future looks like, but conscious that I am attracting love, abundance, passion and purpose.

Colleen Hoffman Smith

Elections and Debates are getting us thinking and feeling! Stand in the center of your heart and be an authentic listener. Receive the information and witness the truth that embraces each word.... the love and fear....the wisdom and experience....the leader and the nobleman. Once you have cleared your own fears and judgments, make a healthy choice for you and the good of all. Feel the compassion for the one who has revealed his or her self. Acknowledge the power you feel as you visualize your self standing before the chosen one... this reflection of who you are! Now join with the collective mind of peace and freedom for the world.

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Walk in your life knowing that the love is stronger than anything because that is all that is left...The love. The fear and the pain is the lie that keeps us tired, burdened and separated from who we truly are."

In memory of my friend, Mary-Lee (1952 - 2007)

Colleen Hoffman Smith

"Respecting yourself and others will create healthy relationships. Fear can take us to our personal purgatory. Feel the fear and deepen into the inner truth of love."
