3 Reminders to Inspire Your Day

I read these three quotes in an old journal this morning and felt totally inspired by them. I will allow them to fuel my day...maybe you will to.

"Krishna is the complete giver, why should we beg?" Bhagavad Gita

"The lord is my shepard, I shall not want." Psalm 23

"Find something in each person that makes you feel like the Sun" Dr B

Simple. Potent.
May we all receive the magnificence and radiance that is always, already present.

Bless up!

Post Bhakti Fest: In Supreme Being

My auspicious dream:
I am Arjuna.
I am watching a deer and and a mongoose in a frenetic chase. They chase round and round and round, exhausted, unceasing.

I say to Krishna, "When will they stop?"
He says "Never. They will chase until they die."

I bow, on my knees in prayer.
Krishna says "So, do you want to enter the chase? Or do you want to stay with me?"
"I definitely want to stay with you", I say.
"Then embed yourself in my lining", he says.
And I do.

I awaken feeling both shaken and gifted by this mighty dream. I understand that like an embryo, my thriving soul life depends on embedding in the womb of God, in the heart of Supreme Being. My growth, my dwelling place here is my priority. This is the only posture through which I can enter the marketplace without a chase to the death.

Any other intuitive hits on my dream? I love to hear them.
Have you had any potent, unforgettable dreams lately...that are itching to be witnessed?
Call on me. That is one of my specialties and delights! A Dream Leaping we will go!
YAY!

The Unlived Life is Calling

Is there something yet untapped, unlived, that wants to come through you?

After a really juicy couple of decades, full of love, goodness and success, I committed to up the ante and take my living to a new level. I commited to live for the soul, to make the God of my heart driver rather than adviser/copilot. The last year has blown the roof off the last 40. I am talking about deep soul fulfillment, communion with supreme being. Not everyone wants that. And, if you do, it is always available.

Don’t believe a word I say... You know what is real in your heart. Please don’t settle for less.

Leap. Love. Live.

You name it. Same application.
Embrace and liberate.

Why Tolerate? Surrender. A One Love Nugget

This nugget dropped in on my desert run this morning.

Feel the difference between what you accept and what you tolerate. Where have you surrendered and where have you resigned?

I can accept that which I cannot change and surrender to my Source. I might even say "Dear Universe, I surrender. Please support me in experiencing a shift."
Or
I can tolerate that which I am too scared, or too conditioned (habituated), too rebellious (cynical) or too multidimensionally lazy to change.

In toleration and resignation, my heart tightens. I suffer.
In acceptance and surrender, I soften. My heart melts open, even through pain, even through challenging circumstances.

Feel the difference. What do you choose?

All Love,
G

People before things.

Ready? Go! Love up your peeps.
I will do the same.
Shanti Om, G

Past Event | Debrief
Our Thanks-N-Giving Community Service Events were a heart warming, powerful experience. Offering a hand, positive energy and loving presence at Casa Maria Soup Kitchen was a gift to all those who gave and received! My thanks to everyone who came out, volunteered time and made generous donations of clothing and household items. It was an extremely sobering reality to see how many homeless and impoverished people there are in our pueblo. The devoted employees and volunteers at Casa Maria are there 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year feeding and caring for our city’s people. I love that there is no paperwork or red tape required to volunteer time, or to show up, get fed, and receive support. Casa Maria is simply about feeding and loving humanity, one mouth and one heart at a time. If you are local, please consider volunteering once a week, or once a month. And wherever you live, consider who is in need around you. Love globally, serve locally! May all beings everywhere be fed, nourished and loved!
