Help All Around

In today's post, I want to share something that just dawned on me.  
It's simple, but powerful. 
What is it?

There are RESOURCES all around you.  
If you are curious about something, don't know how to do something, or feeling overwhelmed about a topic, the information and know-how will come to you, if you are open to it.

Let's take an example from my life.  

For the last few weeks I have been doing research because I want to create more professional looking videos.  I want better sound for when I sing, I want better picture quality, and I want to be able to edit my videos into a cool, funky and fun package. 

So here is what I have been doing: 
researching cameras, researching microphones, researching video editing software, talking to people
researching, researching, researching.  

But this isn't making me feel better or really even being productive.  Because I don't feel super passionate about technology so it feels like a chore to me, and I am just spinning my wheels. 
So I stopped.  
I opened my arms to the Universe 
and I said help me with this, I am releasing this. 

And I did.  I released it from my mind, knowing the answers would show up for me.  

When I woke up this morning, I realized:
I am going home this weekend.
At home, my dad has a beautiful camera
I have two talented and capable brothers
Who love to film and edit videos
And are excited by technology.
There are my answers. 

Why didn't I think of this before?

Because I was too busy DOING DOING DOING, trying to make things happen.
Once I surrendered and said, you know what, I am releasing this, that's when the answers showed up.

So I want to hear from you now.  What are you trying to control or figure out? 
Release it.  And then let me know what comes.

Help is all around.  Just be open to receiving.
Namaste

Broccoli, Spinach & Kale---OH MY!

I originally wrote this post on Saint Patrick's Day, as I was inspired by all of the "green stuff" around me.   Silly me posted it wrong so it did not link to my website! Oh well! So here I go with take #2.   

As promised, I will share my journey of working towards the best version of myself–physically, mentally, and spiritually.

In the spirit of St. Patty’s Day and seeing GREEN STUFF everywhere, here is a LIV’Z LOVE tip:
 
Eat More Green Stuff!

I eat broccoli spinach, and kale regularly. An easy way to do this is to chuck them into a blender with juice and fruit which masks the taste..and voila: good for you & tastes good 

LOTS OF SMALL CHANGES=  A BIG DIFFERENCE
