ROLLING AND COASTING!

Yep, Life is a Roller-Coaster, very up and down at the moment. Yesterday was full of frustration, today is full of magic, mystery, and inspiration!


Yesterday I wasn't so up, I was letting my frustrations get the better of me and I felt very stuck and lower than usual (see this video for proof of that!)

Today I found that my energy was better, no doubt due to eating more simply. Mark Manning had put on a CCOR video challenging us to ask ourselves questions about self-honesty. I answered all of them and when I go to the eating question, I realized that I have NOT been eating according to what I know works for me. I used to do "food combining," and I always felt great when I did. (Google about it if you are interested, it's hard to explain in a wee blogspot... )

Anyway I had found a book called "Fit for Life" about 10-12 years ago, which is when I discovered the idea that we should eat to ensure that our bodies don't struggle to digest our food. Over the years I somehow "forgot" what I had learned about it and instead looked for new ways to get healthy. Check out this interview with the author, although the sound is wonky it is worth listening to!! Well, after realizing that I've been ignoring what I've known all along I have committed to following it again (and just ordered the book again, too).

The journey of life seems to be about "knowing" ourselves, learning what works for us as an individual, and what doesn't. For me, my life's lesson is to uncover who I am, work through my issues, and let my light shine as brightly as possible in order to show others ways to discover more about themselves. I now have committed to thriving on the food that works for me, taking my health seriously, and not worrying about what the latest diet guru says. Listening to my gut (literally!).

Today I also set about manifesting some small things. I haven't had very specific manifestation goals, so I haven't had much show up lately!! I decided to focus on some small things, to get my "manifestation muscles" working. This morning I had listened to a recording of Oprah talking to Esther Hicks about the Law of Attraction, and Esther reminded us that we should intend to create small manifestations in order to grow our belief in the LOA. So, I chose to manifest three small things today: A Blue Butterfly, an Orange Flower, and a Fluffy Feather. Easy things, sort of, but at least not something too crazy for me to believe, like a 3 karat diamond ring falling from the sky.

About an hour after "asking" the Universe for those things I was watching some videos and decided to check out a My Space site (of one of the 100 Day Challengers) and Look what Manifested: The Blue Butterfly!!

A couple of hours later I went to pick up my son from preschool, and he handed me a bit of art he had made today: An Orange Flower!! (sorry no picture, but I am looking at it right now, trust me here).

Okay, I've not had the feather, but maybe the others came easier because I specified a colour and could really see them. I will try again tomorrow, maybe I'll get three things!
