Denise's Thoughts

I WAS LISTENING TO A WONDERFUL TEACHER WHO WAS DELIVERING A DISCUSSION ON COMPASSION. IN HIS DISCUSSION IT BROUGHT UP MANY DIFFERENT THOUGHTS ON ACTION AND PEACEFUL CHANGE. ALL AROUND US TODAY THERE ARE LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO INDIVIDUALLY COULD DO NOTHING BUT AS A UNIFIED VOICE CONTINUE TO CHANGE THE WAY WE VIEW THE WORLD. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT NOW IS THE A TURNING POINT FOR HUMANITY. WE HAVE SO MUCH AT STAKE. WE ARE FIGHTING TO BE HEARD AND FIGHTING TO EXERCISE OUR INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITHIN OURSELVES AND ALSO ASK OURSELVES IS THERE CAUSE TO CREATE A NEW WAY OF BEING WITHIN OURSELVES. RECENTLY,I WAS WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS EMOTING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ANGER. I WAS NOT SURE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM BUT I KNEW HIS FEELINGS WERE NONE OF MY BUSINESS. IF HE DID NOT WANT TO ADDRESS HIS ANGER IT WAS NOT UP TO ME TO TAKE IT PERSONALLY. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS UPSET ABOUT AND DO NOT KNOW IF TALKING WOULD HAVE HELPED AT ALL. THIS BROUGHT UP...

So how do we keep it all together. There are ways to work out what it is that you want to accomplish in our life. Journalling. I know it is not a new concept. Writing down things help you look at how you are planning your life. You are putting down the blueprints to your life and your life's journey. It will help with spending habits, eating habits, exercise or the lack there of, etc.. Let's deal with finances first. As stated before you need to see what you are spending money on. For one week write it all down (every last bit of change that goes out of your pocket-tips included). Then add it up. While you are writing down in one column what you are spending gather up all your credit card bills, mortgage or rent payments, cell phone, cable, internet, land line, gasoline, electric, gas, life insurance, car payment, college loans, car insurance, property taxes, home owners insurance, renters insurance, and any other monthly bill that you pay out.Do not forget to inclu...

You cannot put a price tag on life. That is the bottom line. In life we have to make decisions everyday that affect the quality of our lives. Our thoughts are the most important investment we have in life. It is how we view ourselves and not how others view us is the first thing we need to get a hold of in life. If we allow ourselves to be ruled by how others will see us we may become paralyized or at worst never express our true feelings or be who we were meant to be. This does not mean just shouting from the roof tops what ever is on our mind. Rather it means taking the time to reflect on who we are and what do we as an individual mean to us personally. The following are types of questions you may want to ask yourself: What do I mean to those around me? What was I born to do? What do I want to accomplish? What talents do I have? What talents do I hid? What does the voice within wish to tell me? Being a quality person is more important than being a person who is fixed on being a pers...

2010 is almost over and 2011 is upon us. I have heard from so many people who are worried about the Mayan Calendar and what it may or may not mean. My take on this is to live your life to the fullest always. We do not know when the last day on our calendar of life is over. This past year was the passing of a friend or two for many of us. For some of you it was the death of a parent, child or sibling. For some of you it was the change of life in various ways. The change of a career, home, or relationship. Every year brings changes that is for certain. One thing I might suggest to you is take inventory of your life in every fashion. Take stock of yourself. Who are you really? Are you waiting for someone or something to change your life then I say STOP! The only one who has any power over you is you. I have been doing some serious soul searching this year and it always go back to basics. I am in charge of my thoughts and my beliefs. If I choose to incorporate beliefs into my li...

Before I even start I know I am going to get a lot of kidding from people but here goes. I was walking past a mirror and went hmmm. So off to the gym I go. Working out sweating and imaging that what I want to look like is possible in one week. Ok if one week is in real time it would be a couple of months but to look that far into the future takes the fun away from the moment. Well here I am in Hilton Head and I have accomplished only a couple of the things that I have attempted to accomplish. I have enjoyed the beach. Worked out every day. Met some interesting people and have rediscovered what I knew all along. Being social is a very important part of being alive. We can get so caught up in the day to day we forget to live. We forget to just walk and be. I am here by myself and am loving every minute of it. There I was just looking at the blue sky and palm trees. The waves are crashing on the shore and the birds are flying by. I walk from the beach to the beautiful pool that ...

Individuality and emotional support end up being one in the same thing. Over the years my life has taken me through an incredible journey of hope and creative change. Through this journey I have experienced many hardships that have forged me into the person I am today. Recently, I had the opportunity to see that the many ideas that had been shared with me over the years are taking root in main stream society. I remember way back when I lived in California there was a book that was old even by my standards taking about healing with light. This book was written in the 1920's. That is close to one hundred years ago. Imagine. Recently I have picked up a book that has been very inspirational over the years and have been implementing most of what I had reviewed. Simply put we are the creator within. Or should I say the co creator of what it is we want and how we love. We you stand back and look at your life what do you see. Dreams fulfilled or dreams dissolved. I see many of my dreams ...

Listening to music right now and it really makes the mood. I love to enjoy my life. Music is the sound track to my heart and soul. So many of my clients do not take the time to listen to the music in their lives. What do I mean. Go outside and listen to the noise or is it music. Everything in life has a sync and beat. Can you hear the birds. Can you hear the trucks going down the street. What do hear when you listen to your heart. What do you hear when you hear your thoughts. Is it the symphony that you love to listen to. Take the time to make everyday a wonderful musical experience. Ask yourself what are you waiting for? Hey don't you wish your life was a little like the way it used to be. So make it happen. I sit and think that as long as I am alive I have to make every minute count. My favorite music to listen to these days is anything Latin. It is the heartbeat of my parents. You know my mom is Mexican and my Dad though being born in Peru is Spanish and English. I love the musi...
