FAMILY

WHAT DOES THE IDEA OF FAMILY MEAN TO YOU?  Is it the traditional idea of mother, father, children, uncles and aunts etc?  Or is it more about what people in your life mean to you?  Who's there when you need someone?  Who can you rely on?  What if you don't have good, if any, relationships with your biological family?  I believe that the idea of family must extend beyond the traditional concepts we often hold dear, to include those soulmates we meet along the way in life, - including animals - who turn out to be more relation to us than any of our blood ever has, or could be.  This doesn't mean we have to stop loving those who we're biologically related to, (if we do!), - it just means allowing those who we love differently, to enter, and enrich, our lives.

PASSION

I'M BEING REMINDED A LOT LATELY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION.  If you are in a situation in your life that is making you unhappy, then to the best of your ability, change it.  Start moving in a different direction, in a different way.  Just like the old Pantene hair ads used to say - it won't happen overnight.....

Change is difficult for many of us, but it is not impossible.  Mostly, it requires a decision.  Ask yourself - what do I REALLY want?  And if you don't know, find out.  Tune in to yourself, start listening to the messages you're being sent everyday - through your body, your environment, the people around you.  Allow yourself the time to explore change.  You never know where it may lead.
