The Gift Of Thanksgiving

THE GIFT OF THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is a special time. No matter what else may be happening in life, it’s the one day we come together and share the spirit of gratitude.

It’s a day that reminds us to slow down, be mindful, and give thanks for all of the blessings in our life.

I’d like to share with you a passage that has helped me tremendously when I get caught up in the daily grind of life and neglect to see all that I have to be thankful for. It’s a quick tonic for a reality check.

“Pray. Share a few words with God. But do not pray to God for a solution to your problems or a change in your condition. Say a prayer of gratitude.” ~Neale Donald Walsch

Did you know that gratitude is the antidote to anger — you can’t be grateful and angry at the same time. Just pause for a moment and think about the health benefits of being grateful.

This Thanksgiving I invite you to tell the people you love how thankful you are for them. To smile at a stranger or say a kind word to your neighbor. Give to that charity that’s been on you mind and lend a helping hand.

And most of all, for the miracle of life – for this is truly a gift to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving.

 “Right now, this very moment, I have such a clear vision that I must share it with you,” said Barbara.

“Okay, let’s hear it – you have my full attention,” I replied.

“I feel like I finally get it. I see for the first time what you have been trying to show me all along. Not only do I see it, but I truly feel it.”

“This is going to be good,” I said. “I can’t wait, please continue…”

Barbara excitedly shares her vision. She tells me to envision an egg. Only this egg is a stone egg. This stone egg is really an analogy – because the stone egg, this hard-core shell that has been rock solid for many years, is really her. And like the stone egg, Barbara’s outer core has been very difficult to penetrate. And like the stone egg once again, this outer shell has protected itself like she has protected herself for many, many years. They are both the same, virtually unbreakable.

“But you see, Patricia,” she said, “you know this. You have been watching me, observing me, coaching me. You get me. You see this and so you take heed and carefully select your words and actions with me. But with every word and action, you create a little crack on the egg.

“It’s as if I see you gently tapping the egg ever so slightly, but nevertheless unyielding. You do not give up, you just keep tapping away, little by little. Eventually, one of these taps creates a huge fracture. It’s hard to see now where the very first crack occurred as all the cracks blend into one another. The stone egg is extremely fragile and like myself, can break open in an instant.

“You prepare the stone egg for this critical time. You place the egg in a safe zone so when it’s ready to emerge it does not feel broken. Instead, like myself, it will witness a break through. And a pivotal moment it will be for us as the stone egg morphs into no other but me. But the best part of all of this is that what I see and feel is my higher self finally coming out to play.

“It’s whimsical, it’s delirious and most of all it is freeing. I celebrate, I dance, I sing, I am overjoyed that at last I get to experience the freedom to be no one else, but me.”

It is a glorious day.  I am grateful and I am thankful for this experience with Barbara.  And as always, I like to save the best for last.

Barbara said:

“I know this is only the start. I am onto a new beginning, one with no end in sight and I am finally ready!”

My Holiday Prayer For You

My Holiday Prayer For You

I searched high and low
To find the right prayer for you today
To show you just how much I care
and appreciate all that you do
No matter what I found
It just wouldn’t do
As my heart kept telling me
Something else to do
So I took my pen in hand
and went straight to you
Oh Father I am so grateful
You always show me the way
To speak my words
From this place of today
So Dear Friends
What I am trying to say
Is that I am truly thankful
For people just like you
Who have touched my life
So deeply and shaped me anew
In this season of rebirth
Of all that is pure
Please accept my words as my gift
So you will know them forever more

With Much Love,

Patricia xo

Christmas Prayer Me

Feel It – Bless It

/in , , , /by

How often in life do you stuff down negative emotions or feelings about something going on in your present life or about something that has happened in the past?

It’s a common human pattern to stuff things down. We do it to protect ourselves. You’ve done it, I’ve done it, people do it on a daily basis.

The challenge is…

As we continue to stuff things down in our lives, it accumulates and causes more and more problems for us. 

I received the above in an email from Nick Ortner, The Tapping Solution, and it got me to thinking …

Eventually this accumulation of stuff has no other choice but to come out. When it does come out, it can manifest in many forms. For some people, their outward form manifests as physical clutter.

Clutter as we know represents disorder. Therefore, our physical clutter is an outward manifestation, a demonstration if you will, of what we may be feeling inwardly, i.e., confusion, turmoil, overwhelm. So it makes perfect sense when someone says, “I don’t know where to begin or how to start” when attempting to combat their clutter.

The truth is 99.9% of the time, people can get organized. Organization is a skill set that one can learn. It is the emotional aspect that prevents one from doing so, commonly referred to as an emotional block.

For this very reason, it’s important to take note that in order to deal with your physical clutter it is also necessary to work on your emotional clutter. Otherwise, it has been my experience, that no matter how many times you attempt to get things back in order, if you do not deal with the emotional aspect, the clutter will come back.

It is also important to point out, that the clutter will usually come back with a vengeance.  It’s as if the clutter is saying, “Hey you, I’m not done here…look at me…we have things to settle and I’m not going away until we do.”

This is the time when I suggest you look at your clutter with a fresh perspective. In other words, don’t fear the clutter, Bless it. Approach the clutter with gratitude and thankfulness.

Think of it this way…

Your outward manifestation is like looking through your very own Looking Glass – it’s mirroring back to help you. Look at it as an opportunity to begin the process of healing so you can begin to move forward in your life.

 

How Life Coaching Changed My Life

/in , /by
There was a time in my life when I felt everything was falling apart and no matter what I tried to do to “fix” it – it just appeared to get worse.

I was mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted – because I felt confused about how to make things better.  I didn’t know what to do.

Are you feeling this way now?
The Gift of Life Coaching
present Many years ago when I “stumbled” upon Life Coaching I was very intrigued by the concept of how it works and how it would be applicable to my life.  But what really peeked my curiosity was how I was introduced to Life Coaching and how it appeared to “show up” at the perfect time for me.

Yet, did I engage in Life Coaching right away?  Of course not.  I was a skeptic, possibly just the way you are right now.  I mean, after all, I tried so hard before to make everything “perfect” and “right” and failed.  So how could Life Coaching possibly show me anything other than what I had already experienced…right?

But you see, that’s exactly what my very first “lesson” was – the ability to understand and then accept that things do happen for a reason.  Yes, yes, I know – it’s sounds very new age like and all that, and may even sound so “out of reach” especially when one is suffering so deeply, but honestly, it’s not new age at all, it’s as old as time itself.  Simply meaning, it’s the “truth.”

Once I was able to wrap my head around the concept of “truth” everything began to make sense for me.  It truly was if a “light” switch went off.  Did it happen over night?  No, it is a process.  A process that I have learned how to be so grateful and thankful for.  It has not only changed my life, but I get to “experience” how it changes others as well.

I would like for you to pay attention to the words that I “quoted” and underlined.  They are little clues for you around your own life story.  And you may want to ask yourself right now this question…”What Is My Truth?”

I hope this gives you a little insight into why Life Coaching is such an instrumental tool in the process of life itself.  For more information simply CLICK HERE.
