the trying...faith and the knowing
good morning Universal beings!
another day of being grateful -- for listening -- for seeing -- for living.
it's amazing how logically, we know all of these things. we open ourselves up to it on a daily basis with our prayers and meditation practices. but are we truly living these words? are we truly living without doubt, worry and fear?
are we trusting God -- with a knowing that all our needs will be met?
it's really important to practice the work that we may read about and chant to. we have to live our truth and accept all that we end up seeing, hearing and reading that may be a direct reflection of ourselves. that is the work. acceptance.
we can't have fear when pulled in a certain direction. we must go and trust that it is for us, perfectly.
when i reflect on my life and how much i thought i needed -- and prided myself -- on controlling the outcome for everything, i become sad when i realize how i stood in the way of the Universe providing me with all that i needed that i took ownership of providing myself.
i didn't have faith and even though i was speaking such, i wasn't living that truth.
now, i am willing to accept all the goodness in my life, because i know that the Universe will always provide!
i believe that and i am open to what the Universe provides. So far, I've had a pretty amazing 2014. It's been incredible and I KNOW that more is to come!
i am choosing to have faith
i am choosing to be open to all the good that is to come in my life
magic.

and so it begins...
with, me.
and in this breath, i am here. alive. healthy. happy. and living in LA.
the last time i wrote in a blog, was back when my music journalism days were my life. music was my life --the order was, music, friends, lovers, me.
ha.
and that "me" being at the end, was pretty accurate during that time in my life.
and so it begins.
where I realize or have come to realize, that my priorities in life were all mixed up and the order in which i choose to live my life now, starts with me.
me.
so, who am i? i have discovered that i am a self-proclaimed "bad girl" -- a play on words of course! i'm not really a bad girl -- i don't even know what that would look like, since bad is good and good can be bad. *shrug*
i just know that everything i yearn for or want to do or am impressed by are things that could very well be the opposite of how i was raised in thinking a "good" girl should do, think, act, talk etc.
fuck that.
everything at this point in my life has meaning and purpose and i love that. i love what isn't typical or perfect or neat. in fact, i am in love with what seems to be messy or thoughtless or even random. i've come to know that those moments do share a commonality -- and that's that they are real, tangible, felt, beneficial.
too many times i run into people, whom i love, that are obsessed with controlling outcome, or planning or creating purpose by drafting lists and circling dates in their calendar. i don't doubt that it brings comfort -- it has to me too. but, i've learned that we can't control universal law and the best way to ease that pressure - is to simply live life and live it gratefully and abundantly.
some may read this as fluff. but it's true. let go, and see what happens.
it's magic.
