Hurdles Through The Storm

As I've stated in my other blogs, I am not a fancy writer. I am going to express myself the best way that I know how and I hope that anyone who reads this will bear with me and my somewhat scattered thoughts in this blog.

So why do we have hurdles, hoops and jumps that we have to go through just to accomplish one task? I find that when I am done with one hurdle, another one jumps right in front of me. I don't even have time to rest from the hurdle that I just jumped. Life seemed so much easier when I was a kid. I, often wish that I had a "Back To The Future" car and teleport myself back to a time when life was easy. How do I overcome this feeling that I am having today of hurdles in life? It is so funny that just yesterday that I was trying to focus on "Love" and today I am wrapped up with hurdles.

How do I channel out of these frustrations. Do I just take a break, relax, relate and release. People are nice and they tell me that it will be ok and not to fret. I think that it is all easier said than done. I used to tell people the same thing and now I have to apply my own advice. I must say that channeling my thoughts into words and blogging has helped me to a degree. I am able to release some of these frustration and try to figure out a way to cope.

I'm looking at my Affirmation Calendar from Dr. Wayne Dyer for today, September 29 and it states:

Affirm: I am eternal, and that means that I showed up here from the infiniteness of spiritual intention to fulfill a destiny that I must act on.

I wonder if all of these hurdles are apart of my destiny? People say that you have to go through a lot to achieve success. But is that really true? Is this just some wishful thinking to help you cope with hurdles? Who knows? I wonder what I am missing in this journey? God knows that I've asked time and time again for answers. Has He giving me the answers in this storm?

Nevertheless, I look above at the clouds at times and notice how free they are to go across the sky without any hurdles. The clouds look so peaceful as they move with ease. Am I being taught peace in this storm?

Although I am frustrated, I have to channel this energy into something positive. I have to!! Life is a journey of peaks and valleys!!

Music has always been an outlet for me during good and bad times. Please enjoy this relaxing instrumental music video that I found. Enjoy! Until Next Time!!!

Love Through The Storm

As I've stated in my other blogs, I am not a fancy writer. I am going to express myself the best way that I know how and I hope that anyone who reads this will bear with me and my somewhat scattered thoughts in this blog.

Today, I had a thought that presented itself to me. As I stated in my first post - Passing Through The Storm "Do you ever think what your storm is possibly trying to teach you?" Maybe, I have to tune into my love walk in life. I've always thought that I had enough love to give out to people? But, maybe I am far from being full of love to give the love out? Who knows? But, I think that I will discuss each emotion that I've been feeling during this rough storm in this blog. The good emotions and the bad emotions. Maybe this storm is more for inner work that I have to develop in my life?

Your love is located within you. It is yours to nurture and savor. It is yours to give in any way you choose. p. 51 Staying on the Path by Dr. Wayne Dyer.

So with that being said how do I go about finding the love that is inside of me? I think what I have to do is focus on what I love in life? I love God, my parents, friends, family, my health, colorful flowers, trees, dogs, fresh air, dancing, entertaining, quietness, music, water, California and life.

I'm not sure if this is where I am at with my storm, but I have to try and remain hopeful and positive. I know that there are the days when I am the total opposite of love, because of my circumstances. My life has been shaken. I have to stop looking at the circumstances and grab a hold of something to bring me back to the surface. I don't know what this storm is trying to tell me? I think that it would be easier if I was told why I have this storm, instead of mulling around and guessing through this storm. Who knows? Maybe, I am meant to channel these thoughts into this blog, so that I can eventually find the answer or help me through this storm?

Nevertheless, I am posting a video of what I love and that is dogs. I don't own a dog, but something about dogs makes me happy? Anyway, I found a video of a talking dog that made me smile. I hope that this video makes you smile too. Enjoy! Until next time. :)

Midst of the storm

So, I started this blog awhile back discussing the storms of life.  Well, I am currently in the midst of the storm. I'm going to channel my energy and discuss my feelings and how I am coping. I hope to post information that I find on the internet to help express myself  and also help me find "quiet" in this storm. As I've stated in my other blogs, I am not a fancy writer. I am going to express myself the best way that I know how and I hope that anyone who reads this will bear with me and my somewhat scattered thoughts in these future posts.

At this point, my life feels like the life of JOB(from the Bible). To say that he went through a lot in his trial is an understatement. I often wonder why I am going through this trial/storm that I am going through and often wonder why I feel abandoned? I wonder if  anyone else is going through a storm or trial, because at times, I certainly feel alone. I feel like I was uprooted from my life in California. I was on my way to pursuing my dreams of dancing and acting. I worked so hard to move out to California and in the flip of a switch, my life was flipped upside down. I've tried to help my mother to the best of my abilities.   I'm not a perfect person. But, I try to lead by example with my friends and family. I try to encourage people, I try to do whatever I can to help if my family or friends need my help. So why is God putting me through this storm?  As I said in the previous post, I will have to trust and believe that this storm will pass. Yes, I do feel out of my comfort zone.

I've always been a proactive person and when life has thrown lemons at me, I've tried to make lemonade. The economy is rough and I am out of work. I've started my own online business to help myself remain productive. I've stated this before in my other post. I'm not trying to please anyone but show God that I matter. All of us deserve to have a fair shot in life. All of us deserves some form of comfort. All of us matter.

I am going to find my "quiet" in this storm. I'm going to try and embrace God's "Mercy" and "Grace" and use this blog for therapeutic purposes. Maybe, I'll find new opportunities in this storm that I would never have received if this storm wasn't placed in my path? I don't know? 

Anyway, I like reading blogs and reading the wonderful inspiring words that people post in their blogs. Over the past few days, I've found comfort in some of these blogs. Also,  I'm a huge fan of Dr. Wayne Dyer, I will quote some of his words in my posts and maybe this will reignite my spirit? I'm also writing two others blog, one discussing my business and the other blog deals with finding my confidence over the past eight years .

Lastly, I found this video in regards to JOB that I am going to share with you. Until next time!
