what STopped me from Blogging ...

I enjoy writing. I enjoy expressing myself many different ways. Artistically with color, form, design, and textures, as well as with food and words, decorating, nurturing plants and people, etc.

So, why do I NOT WRITE often. God knows I have a million thoughts going on inside my head all the time. Too much sometimes. That is why it is a darn good thing I take time out to be quiet and meditate in my own various ways. Calms me down, allows me to ground and hear my heart and higher self; the self truly connected to the Universe. It's a good thing. A very very GOOD thing for me, for you, for ALL of us to do.

I believe, today at least, that I do not write more often because I have so much I want to say, so much I wish to share, to teach about, to alert people to, or make them at least aware of, that it all clumps up into a huge BLOCKAGE, and therefore NOTHING gets through. This is not good and I intend to break up this blockage and allow my thoughts and pondering to begin to come out in "bite size pieces" to whomever is reading this.

If it is meant for you, then it will resonate, make sense to you and you will feel in alignment with it. If not, it was not meant for you. You do not resonate with it and that is just fine. We are all in different stages and places in our personal growth , conscious evolution, spiritual maturity. It's all just the way it needs to be "at this time". Also, we all express what we are learning in different ways, so some people will understand our way of explaining things, and others will not. That's just the way it is.

What "hot topic" is really "screaming to break out of MY PERSONAL BLOCKAGE BARRICADE today? Let the think. Right today, "IN THE NOW", the first thing that comes up on top of my list is the topic of TIME, and just how SUPER VALUABLE time is, for us ALL. (Especially those of us who ARE older and understand that on a much more visceral level!  I was just 40, omg, no, that was 50 just a bit ago, then 60 crept around the corner.  BUT OMG, really? Really..... is this my 70th coming up?!!!)

The TOPIC of TIME and it's profound value is what I find myself blogging about today.
IT IS ALL ABOUT TIME. A commodity that we will all run out of at some point. The older I get the more I realize my TIME is less than it used to be and I am very concerned about how I use it, who I spend it with, and why. I am becoming more conscious of my time on this planet, with the family I love so dearly, the friends and people I wish to laugh more with, explore more with, learn more with, teach things I feel valuable  to.

I am very aware of the ENERGY that people and places carry. This may be because I am innately a very sensitive person, an artist, a listener, a life coach, one who has had decades of excellent training in the Art of Communication both verbal and non-verbal. But, I know we ALL can learn to become more acutely aware of the energy out in the world that surrounds us; the people and the places. It is important that we learn to do this. It can become a fabulous "tool" we can/will use to STOP WASTING TIME with people who are only going to drain us, only with us for what they can GET from us "energetically". And it can help us to AVOID PLACES where the energy is negative or dangerous, even life threatening. You know, like, avoiding walking down that dark alley that "feels" creepy, or getting out of the store that you just "sense" has some sort of vague heaviness, or subtle negative vibe.

The vibes that surround people are created by the thoughts they think repeatedly, the people they hang around with, their past programming and past influences, family and other environmental factors.  If I am FEELING DRAINED after being with a person, or in a particular location, place, building, etc.....and realize this is happening all the time, I NOW REALIZE I MUST cut out my exposure to that  person, place or situation........ as I have now identified them as an energy drain, or psychic vampire of sorts. That sounds harsh, but that is exactly what they are, and what is happening on the "invisible" or "etheric" level. Vital life force is being taken from the stronger person to the needy one. We all need energy to live and to maintain a healthy life.  We need to maintain a strong well balanced energy level. 

Take for example the "friend" , or "acquaintance" who is ALWAYS staying stuck in their 
VICTIMHOOD , some limiting, negative, unpleasant "Archetype Drama".  No matter what I can share with them about moving on, moving out, growing in positive ways, freeing themselves and unleashing the power they truly DO have within but are not using......they keep saying, chanting to themselves  the same old dis-empowering things, over and over. Negative,  lies,s illusions, limiting, poor me, I can't, but Nobody ever, it's not my fault, my parents did this to me 30 years ago, etc.....

And, I am quietly thinking........"and you have lived on your own for 20 years now? Oh, they died way back then???? And you have had all this time to work on yourself, to change the way you look at your life and the world? You have had opportunity after opportunity to reach out and seek a better way, so much time spent in suffering, unnecessary suffering because you did not, apparently, know that there were options, other, better ways to live life, to create happiness, fulfillment, great supportive relationships, more financial abundance."  

Well!  That type of person is an energy drain and on some level still believes, either consciously or unconsciously, and feels  that the only way to get attention, (therefore "energy") is to get it out (suck it out)! of another stronger "energy" or person, by using their VALUABLE time to complain to them about their miserable situation.  That is the person I have to let go of in my life, unless they are going to WAKE UP, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for themselves, and STOP BLAMING THE WORLD, THE ECONOMY,  The Educational System, THEIR PARENTS, THEIR EX-Spouses, or , lol, TRUMP!  (Excuse my sense of humor here but.....Everyone blames Trump..... for everything, no matter what party they may be sort of affiliated with.)  Look within. Look within. We are creating our very own versions of reality based upon our perceptions, false or true or somewhere in between.  It is an astounding realization when one comes to really GET THIS awareness. It's a real LIGHT BULB ON moment. 

Bottom line is; it's to our benefit on every level; physically, mentally , emotionally and spiritually to protect and respect our TIME. To create HEALTHY BOUNDARIES so that we can maintain a balance in our lives. To stay out of the STRESS arenas, especially the CHRONIC STRESS arena, and to LIVE LIFE in Peaceful, Creative, Joyful, Positively Productive Arenas that are good for us, and everyone around us. We CAN learn how to do this. 

So, for me, right now, it's about valuing my time , my energy, and eliminating the
​ people , places or activities that deplete me of my precious life force and energy. I have many things I feel I have left to do with my life on Earth at this time, and will continue to work towards keeping my focus on what is important to me, and not squander my time, energy, effort and abilities on anything, or anyone that knowingly or unknowingly tries to pull me off track.

I am SURE many of my readers feel the same way, be it because of our physical age or the life path we have chosen. I know many of you do understand and value YOUR TIME the same way I do. You have learned to protect it. You are focusing upon people and things of interest to you, for your personal pleasure and growth,

If NOT...... Consider doing a complimentary coaching session with me to see if you are in the right place in your life to begin to make astounding positive changes. It takes COMMITMENT, and work, but is worth all the time, energy and cost to know that you are beginning to CREATE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS with whatever TIME you may have left. Late Bloomers welcome. I was one, for sure. Still Bloomin' though.... and many more blossoms yet to bloom.
