Safe, Healthy and Happy

I made it home, safe, healthy and happy. That was my overriding intention for my entire trip. I continually mumbled to myself and shared with anyone who seemed interested, Please keep me safe, healthy and happy. It worked!!! My overriding intention, when I started out was to develop a trust in mySelf and to learn a broader spectrum of my capabilities - and also to connect with some powerful women in the North. That too happened.

I promised myself I would bring back with me all the lessons I had learned in Scandinavia and live differently from the experience. I am sure that will also happen, as I practice daily. However, I already got pulled back into an old habit and didn't even notice it happening. It took my precious daughter-in-law to wake me up when she needed to point out to me I was being manipulative. Thank goodness for the angles who continue to surround me. She was loving and gentle with me as she spoke her truth. Isn't that what we all want to BE?

That prompted me to speak into the public domain of this site to declare who I am committed to being. I invite you all to do the same, somewhere (even if it's locked up in your private safety deposit box,) write out what you are committed to calling into your life. You don't have to share it publicly - although you are more than welcome to do it here if you feel so inclined.

My motive of using this platform is because my dearest people read this and I want all of you to help hold me accountable to who I say I want to be. If you notice me slipping, like my daughter-in-law did, please love me enough to call me out on it. You don't have to be courageous, I welcome it.

It is my sacred intention to shower my friends and family with unconditional love and to keep my nose out of other people's business, unless I am invited. I continue to be safe, healthy and happy as I inspire men and women, around the world, age with adventure and an open heart AND to prepare to die with courageous contemplation and completion, - exiting fulfilled!

There is a bit more to it, that I'll protect personally, but this is the backbone.

Additionally, I want to make sure to take time to integrate all I want to BE in these areas:

1. Devote time to be in nature; stay present to the oneness of all things.

2. Rest

3. Continue letting go

4. Remember everything is beautiful - in its own way

5. Ask for what I want and need

6. Keep moving and growing stronger physically

7. Create and dance and sing and write

8. Heal self and others

9. Be present (especially with family)

10. Play

11. Travel

Love you all, from Iowa and wherever I am!
