This is whole new blog and I call it "My Cafe Blog".  Everyday I go to my favourite cafe and have a green tea and indulge in a tiny vanilla scone. Yummy, I find that when I am in this beautiful cafe/tea/coffee shop I can focus and the energy is awesome.The music 'rawks'...sometimes  the music from the cafe is from the 70's or 80's and sometimes electronic.  WOW , life really is great when small things such as listening to PRINCE and writing this blog just connect like chocolate and peanut butter.  Sometimes I even hide in the sneeky cafe corner and get so focussed on my writings and ideas and creative adventures that I can't wait to implement them and 'just start'. I have learned to just be patient and trust more!! I have ideas and just so much moving through my heart that I need to just relax and know that these creative ideas will come into fruition when they do!! I get a little too punchy sometimes with things and want things to happen "now".  But they are happening "now" in energy form and in my visual mind but the manifestation of them in physical form just hasn't happened quit yet. So my lesson is to: just let go and allow. I often laugh at this because I have written two books about this and have just finished my third book , which is all about "let go and allow."  When you write a book the lessons inside of the book quickly enter into your life so that you can integrate the book itself in a more solid way of living. So I sip my green tea and slowly eat my tiny vanilla scone.  The trick is to not eat the whole thing at once, just two or three bits and enjoy the moment of a creamy light vanilla taste.  I would have missed the vanilla details if I ate it quickly and with no presence of the now moment. ​

I wanted to write a little blog about "New Ideas".  Is anybody else discovering that new ideas or thoughts or a yearning to try something different is starting to  happen for you?  It seems that many people I am speaking with are having new thoughts of trying new things and having a new way of viewing life.  This is truly exciting because it is movement and a shift.  My new favourite book is called "Leap" by Steven Taylor with an intro by Eckhart Tolle.  What Taylor is writing about is exactly this!!  An awakening to life!!   A new way of living and trying new things and bringing in new ideas and actually taking a small step forward.    It is a waking up of "what do you really want to do in this life time?"  Are you feeling a nudge in a certain direction?   He writes beautifully and clearly about what this inner shift is all about and many people are experiencing this feeling and of course globally as well.   I designed a list of about 50 new ideas and creative adventures I would like to try ....some call it a bucket list ....doesn't really matter what you call it.  But maybe just write a bunch of stuff down and have fun with your list.  Another super book  is called "The Courage To Be Creative" by Doreen Virtue.  A wonderful take on how to be exploratory and creative and just having fun!!!

I would love to write about something new I am trying or rather "doing." I started to take private dance lessons last week and have my second lesson shortly.  I just love to dance and decided it was time to take the big leap and learn how to dance with a partner.  My very first lesson I was very nervous.  It is in a real dance studio with a real dance instructor . I had on my running shoes and actually one shoe had a hole in the toe and so the lesson began.   I LOVED it and my instructor is wonderful . Yet I was still nervous... He started me off with the Waltz and wow this is quit difficult to do !! Dancers make it look soooo easy but there is a lot to think about, which was my problem . I was thinking too much!!  My instructor said to just feel the movements and he is the lead, not me.  Apparently I was trying to control the dance.....as the hour went by I began to feel more at ease and my legs started to not shake so much and my shoes were actually working ok.  So my next lesson, which begins shortly as I write this, I actually bought some lovely dancing black shoes and my clothing looks a bit more serious and I feel a bit more confident.   I am ready for another new lesson.  Something new and something different for me to further explore and exercise my loosening of fear and just relaxing and not trying to think too much.  If I think too much I loose the beat.....

This weekend is our Family Day Weekend with Monday being a holiday for some people.  This is a great weekend to contemplate family and enjoy the time with family.  I feel that for some family may not necessarily mean a time with parents or siblings or other family members but a time with a pet or time spent in the forest.  This weekend is filled with sunshine that we haven't seen for a number of weeks.  To me this weekend smells of Spring time just peeping around the corner.  I heard song birds yesterday morning and saw people running around the Bay in shorts and tshirts.....I decided to tie up my own running shoe laces and go for a run.  The sun was my family yesterday as I ran and felt the warmth on my body and the melted snowwater on the pavement as it slipped inside my runners.  I felt glorious. People were happy ......sun, Family Day weekend, melting snow and not to mention the blue skies.  Life is really great!!!

Have you engaged in conversations that only are based on emotions and who the person is rather than what they do? I am finding it interesting in that the more I listen and feel what people are saying they then reveal more of their heart. If I were to ask them "what do you do?" then the conversation changes and they "act or perform" what they do.  But asking them questions that surrounds their heart and how they feel and what they see in life is the most amazing conversation I feel I experience.  This isn't small talk but "big talk"...per se.  Not sure that is even the two words that would match what I am trying to convey here.  But "big talk" in a very beautiful and emotional way.  I most recently have had conversations with people about their feelings on life and their ideas about food and the environment and their hearts.  When I do this I can feel the real person......try it out!!  It is really fun and then just before they leave ask them what they do? 

How are you ?  How are you feeling and how is your body feeling?  Now is a great time to take care of you and ask yourself how are you?  Many people are being nudged and questioning who they are.  This is a great time now to look at our lives and consider maybe it is time for a change.  Yes this may be scary, yes this may feel unsure or uncertain. But it truly is a great time even to think about it for a bit.  I am noticing more and more people changing and shaking things up a bit or a lot.  People are now feeling brave and time to be and live as we really are.  Just a tiny thought can start the process!!  It doesn't mean we have to drop our jobs or even get a job, or loosen a relationship ... it can be tiny changes.  I know a lot of friends of mine are decluttering .  This may mean selling a house, loosening old patterns even or painting a room or leaving a city.  So how are you ?

Hi Everybody.  WE are all being called to choose, feel , and just be LOVE and no longer fear.  Love is our true state of being...love is our truth...love is what  melts old hurtful stories.  These old stories is what creates fear and fuels it until we have conflict and war and pain.  We are now in 2017 and this age is all about Love and Kindness .    No more separation .  No more !!!  As stewards of love and kindness we now need to step up and take shape as love and only love.  Now is the TIME!!  We have been waiting for this time....we are now ready...we have been in training for many life times to now live as love and only love.  Now is the Time !!!

We are here now in 2017...this is a great time to check in to see how you are feeling?  How are you ?  Do you have new ideas or thoughts or feeling nudged in a certain direction?  What is going on inside of your heart and mind?  Pay attention as the download of new ideas and a new life stance may start to arrive for you and all you really need to do is just pay attention... This is a great and exciting time for everybody.  Personally I started a new book and actually have two new books in my vision and actually can't keep up in the writing of both of them.  I feel strongly that I will finish both of them this year and sooner than later.  I can't explain this energy I am feeling.  Let me try: it is directive and very powerful in its direction and following its form of guidance feels good and truly a calling.   I just need to pick up my pen and the energy will do the work.  I hope that explains it well.  WE are living during an era whereby now the energy is taking hold and our only job is to listen, feel and deeply pay attention.  You will then experience some amazing doors opening and experiences coming in from nowhere, people arriving from nowhere...all unexpected, but expected on a very deep soulful and Spiritual level called Destiny.   Have fun!!!
