Happy Father's Day....Love Waits for You to Arrive

Turning inward and connecting to the presence of your heart....Breathe deeply as the doorway opens to your inner sight. See beyond your physical self into a new world that connects you to the truth of who you truly are.

Sit a while in this sacred place and feel the richness of all that you came here to be.

See each person in your world from this love that is unconditional.

Embrace every moment with the joy of your full heart. Share your gift of safe love and arrive here in this moment fully present.

Deepen with your heart as you Breathe deeply.

Visualize your Father and stand before him with an oopen heart. Remember the man he came here to be.

Forgiveness is our most valuable gift of freedom.

Forgiveness sets us FREE.
Look into your Father's eyes and
see the doorway to a world of
peace and union.
Love waits for you to arrive.

ENJOY YOUR FATHER'S DAY CELEBRATION!

Heaven is felt

My first Mother's Day without my Mom. The day took me through the pathway of emotions where I landed...a deeper coonnection with my life and truth.
I wrote this today....

Now that Mom is gone, I realize that heaven for me was in her heart. That is where I always felt uncondional love and a safe place to share my pain and fears.

She never judged or criticized me. Mom always made me feel my worth and she held me when I didn't.

I can be with her when I give to my children the same space and time. This connection of a Mother's heart was handed to me when I was born. 56 years of living it with her strengthened this sacred temple in me...
A MOTHER'S HEART CHANBER OF LOVE, FAITH, UNDERSTANDING AND HOPE.

I am so grateful

Happy Mother's Day

This is the first Mother's Day without my Mom! I am spring cleaning at our parents and family home on the lake this week. As I sort out and re-organize closets, I am being taken down memory lane. Mom kept her treasures and I haave the honor to peek into them. I have spent hours as time unfolds the many gifts left behind. I laugh with sweet joy and I cry with tears of love as I feel her energy around me.

With Mother's day coming, I feel the loss of my Mom. As I reach into the emptiness that grief takes me, I journey to the details in cards she received and notes she wrote. Every compartment of a hutch or drawer holds precious gifts of Mom's life that she treasured.

As I journey with my life without my Mother physically, I feel her so present and I know that she is here with me in my heart. My tears have created more space and this is where she lives.

When I connect to my heart I feel you Mom.
Thank you, I miss you xoxoxo

To all Mothers....May you feel grace and loveliness as you connect to family love as your reflection. I am in gratitude to your loving kindness.
I celebrate each of you.

As a Mother, I give thanks to my children for choosing me to be their Mom.
I love you to the moon and back.
HAVE A LOVING MOTHER'S DAY

Our Connection With Healthy Communication

It is so important to create space with coversations so that we can be present with our feelings as we hear the emotions rising up with the words spoken.

If you are connecting within and with a person you will get clarity into what is really going on....this is mindfulness.

I usually find that during conversations with my loved ones, this space that I give can open a pathway of feelings to be shared once the safe place has embraced the connection and conversation.

Often one of my daughters can get to a place to release any fears, hurts and disappointments once they become safe to open up.

Authenticity and intimacy flows because of this precious time of sharing.

When I am plunged into a drama, I become conscious of what I am feeling and my breath connects me to the present moment. Instead of reacting or moving into fixing mode, my breathing centers me and I can see clearly what is going on.

I remember a time when I did not know how to take care of my emotional body and my awareness was not strong enough. I would be ignited into a past experience with emotional pain and my connection would get clouded by guilt, neediness, fear, disappointment, control, anger, judgment or self-doubt. My heart disconnection would pull me into the drama placing my old pain over the situation.

As I continue to learn to live more present, I can see the drama or person as the gift to allow me the opportunity to respond differently.

It feels so good to stay connected to my open heart when my children, family, husband or friends need a safe heart to see the truth gently reflected.

When I am clear, the drama has a chance to dissolve and my reflection without negative charge opens a doorway for the flow of healing energy of peace and unconditional love.This is our responsibility as we consciously create safe communication and healthy relationships

Look In The Mirror of The Moment

It is not our responsibility to change anyone, to fix them or to make them feel good about themselves. If we carry someone while they are feeling their lack or wrapped in the arms of a drama, they will depend on you for love and acceptance. This is enabling and they will eventually become emotionally disabled. Once you let go they will be left standing exactly where they were before. If you continue to fix or change someone you are not seeing them as perfect just the way they are.

The kindest and most loving thing to do is to be open and create a safe place for them to feel their pain…..and while they share it with you….
Continue to breathe and say to your-self, “I am here and I am safe”.
Connect with any fear, disappointment, resentment, anger or self-doubt by
Acknowledging any negative charge or judgment inside you.
Feel your own connection to your emotions rising up and while you breathe ... move
into compassion.

We cannot heal anyone, but we can inspire another while we become responsible for our own conscious presence. Awareness automatically connects with the higher purpose.

Once we attain our own peace the moment will become a sacred safe place for gratitude and unconditional love.

This reflection of our life reminds us all that any struggle or resistance is just as important to be with as the joy and beauty.

This moment is perfect just as it is.
Breathe deeply and be here consciously.

This person in front of you, in the moment, mirrors a part of you…..
Instead of reacting….BREATHE and take RESPONSIBILITY.
BE THE REFLECTION and RESPOND with your HEART in mind.

Dancing with Joy!

Bruce and I are taking Ballroom Dancing. We have wanted to do this for years. Like all life experiences, dance brings to us inner connection of awareness and a relationship discovery together.

When we are first learning the steps my past dance experience rises up inside me and I feel a familar comfort, yet while moving with Bruce there is some resistance initially. Because this is a new experience for Bruce, he is counting and thinking as his process of learning is moving through him differently.

Initially we are stiff and awkward together...our knees bump and I go one way and Bruce goes another. Our timing is off and frustration interrupts the flow.

Our teacher is accomplished and he is kind as he guides us without judgment.

In time our breathing becomes the center of our movement and the music moves us into the rhythm. There is a moment when it all comes together and the breakthrough has happened!...
WE ARE DANCING!

When the resistance is gone and we have let go, the music and dance steps becomes joy within us.

Dancing in relationship also takes practice and even when life brings us struggles we can move through them with the intention of finding that beautiful moment together.

Have a wonderful day as you connect with the rhythm of your own dance.
Peace and Love,
Colleen

TRUE LOVE SITS PATIENTLY AWAITING OUR ARRIVAL.

The voice of our ego is misleading.
True Love dissolves the false voice of the ego.
The voice of our higher self is of True Love.

True love tames fear and rescues us from the ego’s power.
Acknowledge, breathe, feel and let go of negative emotional barriers that close our heart to the presence of peace.

True Love is personal acceptance and presence in the moment .
True Love is forgiveness… Begin again and allow your authentic self to live freely.

True love inter-connects our mind, body and spirit, inter-grating our attention and intention.
True Love cannot live with illusion.

True Love does not ask for a thing…
doesn’t need….doesn’t control…doesn’t hurt…doesn’t deny us of joy or peace.

Each event or relationship of struggle gifts us the opportunity to be the keeper of the truth.

Once the awareness becomes conscious, the veil of darkness lifts and the light of compassion can heal a pathway to our open heart.

True Love sits patiently awaiting our arrival.
