Honoring Oursevles during the Heart month

This is the month of the heart…personally I think everyday should be about the heart, but we can come back to that thought process later.  This has been deemed the month of lovers, the month of chocolates, valentines and red roses.  I think that February 14th is a lovely day to celebrate…but on that day and in this month, do you only think of your partner, children, parents…or do you remember and honor yourself.  Honoring yourself, a thought that has only come to light in the last couple of years.  We are so busy taking care of everyone else, who takes care of us??  Do you pamper yourself, with a walk on the beach by yourself without your cell phone,  treat yourself to a massage, a workout, a good cup of coffee with the sun shinning on your face.  Do you think your worthy of spoiling yourself??  Do you love and honor yourself enough to take that time just for you,  to find you, to love you.  (Kunzite and crystal necklace…all about the heart chakra)

Then there is the matter of the heart everyday, do we come from the heart everyday??  Why don’t we do the things for our partners and ourselves everyday??  Has life gotten so hetic that we can’t find 10 minutes in a day to write a note,  make the call and  say I love you or that you are  in my thoughts, to pick a few flowers from the garden or sit outside and watch the moon and the stars and feel the universe for just a few minutes.  Yes these are easy things that you can do for yourself and with your partner…and there doesn’t need to be a special day to make those small but intimate things happen.  There is one more thing, don’t forget to hug yourself, and look at yourself in the mirror everyday and know that you love yourself and that you are loved…and worthy of love!!  In these crazy times, find the time to love those that matter including yourself…many hugs with much love to all…Randi

Transformations in 2012

Well we are in to the year of 2012.  There is an energy in the air of shifts and changes.  It is the buzz and it is everywhere, around every corner, and within most people you meet, whether they realize it or not.  They may seem tired, or more energized, thought processes changing, letting go of the past, releasing limiting beliefs…yes there is a shift among us. 

I must say that in my last several years, I have had many such changes or shifts…looking at my old thought patterns and how I believe life is to be lived. I am living life at a slower pace, most days, learning to love and respect myself and see the amazing person that I have become, that I AM!!!  It has only taken almost 51 years, but hey better now that not ever.  I have gone so far as to go back to school and study Energy Medicine.  I spend time outdoors appreciating nature, and working magick on those that come into my booth.  I now wear bows and hats  in my very red hair, and laugh more than I have in a long time.  I also realize that not everyone will be in our lives forever and always, but we should be grateful for them while they are with us.   That everyone we meet brings us a gift, no matter how challenging that person can be.  I have also learned that I don’t have to please everyone, and if it continues to be difficult with relationships, sometimes you just have to walk away.  I have learned that we have to take care of ourselves, so that our cup is full enough to help others.  I have learned that I would rather live in the moment that is with me, than be in fear and not do what feels right to me.  I now know that regrets can’t be fixed, so don’t have any.  I know that we are either going to grow or get really stale…I am opting for continual growth, even if sometimes it brings tears or unhappiness…because once we get through those tears and that discomfort, guess what it is much happier and brighter on the other side.  BTW for those of you that don’t know…I will be 51 this month…so I am celebrating my new life with color, joy, bliss, happiness, laughter and love!!

I choose this tiger iron and garnet bracelet for this article…because this is about as grounding as a piece of jewelry can be.  If you are experiencing these shifts and changes, you just might want to be grounded.  Many hugs with much love to all…Randi

The Holidays…

Well the holidays are here…and there are so many things that I could be writing about.  I could write about people shopping and trying to put the perfect presents under the tree…btw if you are out there shopping please go to the small business owners and local artists in your area.   If you do, this will keep help to keep your community growing and thriving!!  I could write about the rushing round to get to holiday parties and attending them,  preparing the food, cooking in the kitchen, and shopping for just the right outfit.  I could write about the fact that this time of year either brings out the best in people or the worst in people.  I am not really going to write about any of those. 

I am going to write about taking care of yourself.  All year long we take care of other people, and we neglect ourselves.  I am not talking about becoming selfish, but making sure that you have enough of you so that you can be there for others.  We are always there for our friends, family, our bosses and our jobs.  When are we there for ourselves??   This is the most stressful time of year, this is when we need to make sure that we have balance.  I laugh sometimes when I discuss balance with people.  They look at me like I have lost my mind.  Balance, where do I make the time to have/find balance??  If there is ever a time of year…this is the time of year to find our balance.  If we don’t take care of ourselves then who will??  We can’t be there for our friends and family when we are empty.   If you find yourself in a conversation where you can feel it will go wrong, them honor your feelings and get out of the conversation.  If you are tired excuse yourslf and go get some rest.  Try to eat right and yes, the old drink plenty of water comment is next on the list.  These are things that will help your body to try and stay in balance during this stressful time of year.  Find something to read or do that is just for you, to remind you that you are special and important.  Honor that inner royal person that you so often forget!!  With all of these words, no matter what…be kind to your self and remember to love yourself!! 

One final note…I will not be at Holiday Hoopla in Gulfport this Saturday or at Horan Park on Sunday, due to a special event over in Orlando.  I will however be back next weekend Pass-a-Grille market on Saturday the 17th and Horan Park on Sunday the 18th.  Hope to see you all soon, somewhere…wishing you a wonderful season with many hugs an much love to all…

Writing Our Story…

It is now November, where has this year gone?   There have been so many changes for so many people thru this year.  I have watched friends change their marital status, change their jobs either by choice or circumstance, change their looks, change where they live, and  even their beliefs.   Yes it has truly been a year of transformation and change…and it is not over.  There is a very powerful day coming soon…11/11/11.  Many say there will be an amazing shift for the planet.  I for one believe this.  A few years ago I would have asked shift??  What are you talking about??  So I guess, no I know, I also have gone thru many changes.  Funny I was the person so many years ago who hated change…seems like in the last 5 years I have changed some of the most major things any one person can change (and I might add, more than once). 

Some people believe that their entire life is just one journey…and for them it might be simple, they are born, go to school, work, marry,  have kids, retire and then pass to the other side.  To them it is very simple and well maybe even laid out infront of them.  Then there are those that start asking the questions…Is this all there is to life?  Or how did I get to this stale and complacent place?  If I only have this one life to live…then I want to make a difference.   These are the people who saw a life laid out and said no way I want to rewrite my story.  I want to live, breathe, feel and experience great love.  I myself have been rewriting my story for a while now, and I must say that everyday I find something wonderful about the day, if not many things.  Tomorrow I leave on a journey.  One that has been in the making for a very long time.  I guess you could say that I am rewriting even more of my story.  I do not know what will happen on this journey.   I do know that I am choosing to do things that are important to me, to be true to me, to honor me.  That in itself is huge in my book of this life.  I also know that I will be at Stondhenge on 11/11/11.  I think on this I will say to be continued…

I have chosen a pair of quartz crystal earrings to feature with this article.  Why, because quartz is awesome for helping to clear out the old, clean and energize you…so that if you choose to start rewriting your story, you may have a little help.  Many blessings and much love to all…Randi
