Breath is life! Oxygen is essential for cellular growth. When I completely empty my lungs, the air pours in and I am dizzy from the sudden burst of fresh air.

The quickes way for me to escape a stressful situation is simply to breathe. A few quick inhales of the life sustaining oxygen and I can tackle any situation with peace and serenity.

"There is no place like home"- Dorothy, the Wizard of OZ.

I have lived in many places. I have gone back to the places that I grew up at and called that "home".

I can travel anywhere and always be "home". Home is a feeling, more than a place. It is a feeling of belonging and being free to express my authentic self without judgement or fear.

"Home" is  the friendships I have forged and those closest to my that I may call "family".

No matter how far I travel or all of the experiences I incur, it is online communities such as this that I call "home", knowing again that I am safe and loved just for being.

No matter where I go, I am always "home" because my "home" ultimately exists from within.

When I am happy, I am home!

How many times have I given up my life already? When I'm not living my truest potential or expressing my truest self am I not sacrificing my life? Even more noble than sacrificing my life may be the ability to actually live it in the most glorious and spectacular way that I can be the beacon of light and inspiration that could guide others!

Far more exciting and challenging than giving up my life is truly living it. In the moments that I am genuine, I am facing all opportunities with enthusiasm and excitement. There are no promises that this choice comes without change. As a matter of fact, change is certain!

What miracles unfold before me when I am living as I am truly meant to Live!

There have been a myriad of saviors throughout my life, each one rescuing me in very different and spectacular ways.

Most recently, my education has been my salvation. I have transformed into the person I have become mostly because of the support and liberty that my school allowed for me to grow. Through that safe network of encouragement and inspiration, I have been liberated to live my authentic self and sparkle with the brilliance that is who I am meant to be.

Previously, I was rescued by a man who offered me a sanctuary to heal from the wounds of my past. Without expecting anything in return, he allowed me to search within and recover from past pains so that I could be free to find out who I am meant to be.

Yet even before that, I was most literally saved by my oldest daughter. Before she entered my life, I was spiralling onto a path of self destruction and self loathing that was certain to lead me to my demise. Knowing that there was a pure light that chose me gave me a reason to cling to this game so that I could some day find my way to who I am meant to be.

Throughout my life, there have always been the unseen gaurdians and angels protecting and guiding me along the way. There can be no doubt that their subtle influential whispers encouraged me in directions that also saved me many times over so today I can be all that I am meant to be!

For each one I can only express eternal grattitude. Thank you to all who help me to Live!

Stimulating conversation, differing points of view. Connecting with others in mind, body, and spirit. Realizing how much we really are all out there searching for the same general things in life...happiness, abundance, acceptance, love.  However different the packaging, we are all beautiful vessels of light waiting to shine or lighting the way for others! Knowing each path is just a variation of the one that I follow. By refusing to live life inside of a box!

Really, this is an open ended question, hmmm.

Happiness is a feeling manifested within. Joy, rapture, ecstasy. It is the rainbow that lands on the wall after a rainy day or the song in the heart that longs to be sung. Happiness is the greatest expression of love, to oneself and others. Happiness is the release of good feeling chemicals from our body that we crave more and more of each time those chemicals are released. The brilliant thing is that our body is smart enough to make it all on it's own. It is the state of being that I strive to be in most of the time... simply because I like to feel good! But then again... don't we all?

Apparently Not! If what we think, we become, my reality is about to become quite interesting! More dangerous yet is the fool who tries to enter my mind. Sure, chasing butterflies and fairies is quite a bit of whimsical fun, but fairies do bite...so watch out:)

Just today, I was told I need to tone down my thoughts(darn it, I've been thinking too loud again...I hate it when that happens) and feelings. Fortunately, that individual has been kind enough to do that for me (oh. the pressure:)

Does this all seem like random nonesense or does it actually make a grain of sense? Welcome to my mind! What do you think..is it a safe place to be?

Brightest Blessings of Light and Love,

Heidi

Change is Good! Whether it be pocket change or transitions in life, change is an opportunity! What's not to love about opportunity?

GRATITUDE!!!  

How often do we really know that we are being listened to? Sure, I may say a great many things with authenticity and from my heart, but only when someone tells me that I have made an impact on them do I really know that my words have been heard.
