Inner Journey: RESPONSIBILITY BRINGS POWER

“To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist.”
— Gail Sheehy

What holds you back from being all that you are?

In your journal, list at least 5 things that hold you back.

Now review your answers. Have you blamed people or factors outside of yourself?

It’s important to understand that ALL obstructions are rooted in our internal blocks. Even the problems that appear to be outside of us are only reflecting back to us problems we have inside. Once we address our inner issues, the outer problems disappear.

Be personally accountable for everything in your life and watch your perspectives shift. We claim our power when we accept responsibility for our lives.

“Conscious evolution begins as we take responsibility for clearing our own obstructions.”
— Dan Millman

Very often, when tides start turning, great gears start shifting, and gusting winds start blowing at the onset of a really wonderful dream’s alignment with your present life, there is commotion, unpredictability, even turmoil.

So, hey, let’s always assume that’s the case whenever you experience commotion, unpredictability, even turmoil. K?

Daily Wisdom
March 8, 2021

Women and Men
“I object to anything that divides the two sexes. My main point is this: human development has now reached a point at which sexual difference has become a thing of altogether minor importance. We make too much of it; we are men and women in the second place, human beings in the first.”

-Olive Shreiner (1884)


The “battle of the sexes” was an issue back in the 1800’s and we’re still talking about it today. Clearly, there is a difference between men and women. But maybe we’ve come to the point where we can understand that our similarities far outweigh our differences. Rather than look at what divides us, let’s look at what binds us. We aren’t Martians and Venusians, we’re here together on the same planet.

MBG: Clove: 4 Reasons To Add A Dash Of This Powerful Spice To Everything

Often associated with gingerbread cookies and winter cocktails, clove is what puts the spice in pumpkin spice. Similar to cinnamon or ginger, clove is a spicy, yet warm, aromatic that adds depth to any dish, from garam masala curries to chai tea lattes. But it’s more than just a sprinkling spice; small but mighty, clove packs a surprisingly healthy punch.

Daily Good: The Animal Rescuer of Assam

Manoj Gogoi is a 44-year old father of two and self-taught naturalist dedicating his life to assisting the people and animals of India live in harmony. Through his tireless efforts thousands of animals have been rescued and returned to the wild. More than that, he has inspired others to volunteer with him and begun to alter the attitude and actions of people to consider the place of wildlife in their world. What pulled Gogoi to dedicate his life to wildlife conservation? “I was born in the Kaziranga area of Assam. I grew up in the lap of nature teeming with rhinoceros, leopards, beautiful Himalayas birds and snakes, even venomous ones. It is a familiar environment for me since childhood. Naturally, I developed a genuine fondness for the wild,” smiles Gogoi. Find out more in this article from “The Better India”. { read more } http://www.dailygood.org/story/2375/the-animal-rescuer-of-assam-unknown-yet/

Elephant Journal: Releasing Toxic Relationship Patterns: why Saturn is currently your BFF.

The karma police have been sitting on our coattails since April this year when Saturn turned retrograde.
Many have said they felt stuck this summer, like being in some weird, cosmic Groundhog Day. Forward trajectory has felt almost impossible, with a collective emotional soup brewing with frustration, anger, and—with Saturn involved—depression.

MNN: These wildlife photos are all about the belly laugh
But when you’ve stopped giggling, consider these conservation steps you can take.

When it comes to making us laugh, animals are naturals.
Maybe because they don’t try to make us laugh — but often find themselves in situations that remind us of our own foibles.

EarthSky News: Hazy light pyramid in east? False dawn

For the Northern Hemisphere, these next months are your best time all year to catch the zodiacal light, or “false dawn.” And the next few days are great, because the moon will be in a waning crescent. There might be some great photo opportunities with a waning crescent moon and the zodiacal light, since both will be located in the east before dawn breaks.

Patheos-Pagan: Easy Bath Magic To Release, Heal, And Recharge

Bath magic is a source of healing and inspiration for me. By simply slipping into the warm waters, I’ve felt recharged, healed, and refreshed. If you have a bathtub, you can easily have a magical aquatic experience in the privacy of your own home. Baths don’t cost much, and the benefits are enormous.

Inner Journey:

DO YOU GIVE TO GET?

“I have sensed a growing discontent amongst many who are on their spiritual path. A common theme appears to be — ‘I have been serving God for so long and have given up so much and it has been such a struggle — when am I going to get my reward?’”
— Wendy Munroe

It’s interesting to become aware of how we participate in the dynamic exchange of giving and receiving. When we give, do we do so whole-heartedly? Or do we do so with the ulterior motive of wanting something in return?

It’s not wise to be always looking for a deal. The universe never short-changes us. We can afford to be generous. When something of value is given, something of value must be returned.

“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”
— Mother Teresa

A Note from the Universe

Please help spread the word. Here are the top 10 ways people give away their power:

Choosing to be unhappy.
Fear of anything, especially falling in love.
Believing that karma or spiritual contracts are absolute.
Waiting for their ducks to line up before acting.
Believing in soul mates.
Attaching to unimportant details and outcomes.
Thinking they have dues to pay.
Worrying about HOW their dream will come true.
Thinking God decides who gets what.
Asking others what they should do.

Understand the truth, little bird, and you will soar.

Caw-caw,

Today’s Recipe: Rustic Apple Galette

This is my mother’s recipe for delicious apple galette that really suits the welcoming of the Autumn season. I love the flaky crust on the outside, with an inside that becomes almost custardy from the juices of the baked apples. It’s so easy to make, it’s a beginner’s recipe, but the taste will have people thinking otherwise. Give it a try!

Conscience

“The needle of our conscience is as good a compass as any.”

-Ruth Wolff, 1963

Our conscience tells us which way to go, it points us in the right direction, just as the needle of a compass does. Why would we purposely go astray with something so reliable helping us? This is something we can count on.

-Lissa Coffey
