EVERYDAY JOY NEWSLETTER

Hi Everyone!

I love April so much, the air is still cool and more birds are singing here in South Florida. In fact, several times in the past few weeks I saw a pair of royal blue macaws flying overhead, and today I saw four male peacocks crossing the bike path!! Blue is the color of the fifth chakra and is all about communication; I love it when Spirit winks at me this way!!

It's already the 23^rd  of the month as I write this and so much has happened already. That's a good indication of how time and energy are speeding up and how important it is to be grounded and in harmony so that you don't get toppled over by these powerful waves of new strong energy washing over you. This is a good time to continue or begin a yoga or tai chi practice, meditate, take regular walks outdoors in the spring air, write in your journal to keep clearing energies that may accumulate and tend to create blocks. And it's a really good time to find JOY and lightness wherever you can; watch funny movies, remember the last time you laughed out loud and laugh out loud again, ride your bike like a kid (this is what I do every morning-when I'm not walking, and sometimes I even bike after a walk, just for the sheer JOY of it!), listen to music that gets your spirits up, dance, throw off the heavy mantle of winter and really COME ALIVE!! I challenge to find at least one inspired way to be more alive this month…and I'd love if you let me know what that is.

This is the perfect time of year to talk about renewing your commitment to walking the path of spiritual expansion and higher consciousness that leads to joy, success and prosperity in life. This month's article, WHEN SPIRIT WHISPERS, is the first of a two-part offering:, I hope you find it enlightening and motivating! Part two: WHEN SPIRIT SHOUTS will be coming to you soon.

CH… CH… CH… CHANGES!!

I am in the midst of some wonderful changes myself. My husband/partner and I are moving from the offices we've shared for fifteen years to a beautiful new space. I found a lovely office for us in a beautiful, four year-old building that is only minutes from our home. We're eager to move in next week, and in fact as I write this, the new carpet is being installed.

My new office address and phone number are:

EVERYDAY JOY TIPS!

JOY is one of the very highest vibrations you can experience. It automatically aligns you with what you really, really want in your life. So the more you access your natural JOY, the more easily you will manifest your desires into your life.

Here are a few things you can do to invite your natural JOY to come forward into your awareness:

• Celebrate every little thing that makes you feel good. Smile, talk about it, write about it, and act as if 'wonderfulness' is the norm for your life!
• Do a JOY meditation every morning along with your Gratitude meditation. All you need to do is INTEND to experience many moments of JOY in the day that has just begun.
• Determine that you will see the perfection in every moment of your life, even, and especially those that don't seem to be 'perfect'. As the young man who rang up my items at the wholesale club remarked to me yesterday, "We don't always know why things happen the way they do, but we can be sure that we will know in the future why they happened…and it's always for our good." I thought those were wise words for someone so young (he was around 19 or so), but he had JOY pouring out of every inch of him!! Guess his philosophy works well for him. (These are the kinds of conversations I have wherever I go….Law of Attraction in action!)
• Use Quantum Questions like this one to elevate your thinking to a more JOYful level: WHAT IF doubt is only asking you to listen more deeply to your own inner wisdom? Wouldn't THAT be something! Just a thought….

PART ONE: WHEN SPIRIT WHISPERS TO YOU

You know those moments when Spirit is whispering to you. Maybe you have begun to feel some discontent in a relationship. Or perhaps, you're starting to feel mild resentment about something. Getting a tension headache a couple of times a week? Using food or drink to numb out more than usual? Not getting as much pleasure out of your normally favorite pastimes? Kids irritating you more than usual? Wish you could run off to Tahiti?

You get the picture. You see, Spirit really does whisper in your ear endlessly through your Inner Guidance System-your emotions, and your body-to get you to awaken to higher spiritual consciousness. When things are going great and you are on your true path, you feel JOY and that's what Spirit's whispers sound like in your heart.

When you are beginning to stray from your true path, Spirit's whispers can sound like this:

• Why don't you tell him the truth about how you feel?
• When are you going to slow down and relax?
• Think it's time you took some time for yourself?
• You seem pretty uptight; what's going on?
• You used to like your job, what's changed?
• Are you happy?
• Gosh, you're awfully irritable these days; what gives?
• You're spending a lot of time daydreaming; gonna do something about it?
• When did you start getting these headaches/stomachaches/backaches?
• Where did all the fun go?

Yes, that's what Spirit's whispers usually sound like-at least at first. They are questions that invite you to investigate what the heck is going on. They invite you to take responsibility for the way you feel about the people and things in your life, and do something about it to find your happiness and peace again.

Often you don't heed those whispers because you feel confused or powerless about what to do. You might even believe that there's nothing you CAN do. That's where you get off track. It's not about the DO. It's about the listening. It's about opening to what happens inside of you when you listen quietly and take in the question. It's about what answers begin to arise in you out of your awareness of…that's right…the question. Nothing to force or insist upon, only opening to your truth.

If you are in a place where you think Spirit it whispering to you and you are not sure what to do, let me guide you through this process. It's about waking up to the joyful, authentic person you are and all the possibilities that life holds for you.  You have nothing to lose and your whole, beautiful Self to gain!

Spiritual awakening is what you came here for and my purpose is to support you on that journey. My clients enjoy lasting and profound changes when they stop resisting and begin embracing their spiritual awakening. How about you?

I've created the package options, am setting up other behind-the-scenes components, getting some expert opinions on the launch, and believe me, this feels kind of like when I waited those extra four weeks for my daughter to be born. It seemed like an eternity… AND it was SO worth the wait. This will be too! Promise!! J

Until next time,

Twitter Trivia: I learned that spiritual author Paolo Coelho who wrote The Alchemist and other books, uses a pedometer and walked 16,000 steps the other day. Radiant spirit in a strong, healthy body. Nice!
