As I watch the chipmunks rapidly scurrying around my house gathering seeds and supplies for the winter, I am reminded that we all need to prepare for the next season. I ask myself, “What is it I need to do to be prepared for the journey into winter?” The answers come in from past experiences. Do I have enough food, clothing and is my shelter in good condition? I assess all of these physical things and I realize that my wellbeing begins in my heart and mind. Can I maintain personal peace in all circumstances and how do I do that with so many outrageous acts being committed? How do we as a society get back to a common-sense reality?
From my logical mind, I feel there is so much that is out of balance. First, I must balance my diet and exercise. That keeps the physical in alignment. Next, I must find time for my connection to my higher self every day. Friends and family are important. I choose to have time and joy with them. I establish a routine that gives me structure and energizes the priorities I have chosen. Then, I realize I have not created a space for amazing laughter. I put that in my schedule.
I find things to read, like a book about a talking mule, and space aliens. This takes me totally out of my current reality. It is a nice escape. My focus becomes, ”How do I make a difference on this planet? How can I help?”
I think the changes that are coming will require all of us to pitch in and become aware of what we have to give. Now is not the time to be silent. Determine the truth you want to support and do something about the changes you would like to see. Become the changes you desire. Hold the changes as already being done and manifested in your heart. Feel that energy of accomplishment. You do not have to know how the changes will take place. The Universe will take care of the details; just hold the energy you want to see evolve and it will become.
I daily pray for peace, truth, justice and integrity in all things, mostly in myself. I release the focus of all I perceive as being out of balance and I choose to be in balance and let source take care of the details. I prepare myself to be at peace.
Think about that which you want to create and give it some energy. If you complain and do nothing, nothing will change. It is time to step up to the plate and do your part. Prepare yourself for change and you will be at peace. Let us establish an attitude of c.s., not b.s.—common sense, not bullshit.
