Cleansing

Hey All,

I've missed you guys!

Today while meditating I thought on how much thought we put in to making sure we are clean every day : ) of course, right? It's how and what we were taught. How to wash our hands before eating, making sure we are clean before leaving our homes, if our food is clean before eating - but how many of us take the time to clean our insides...our own thoughts, our actions and how we effect others each day.

You hear every day about positive thinking, having a good positive perspective or outlook on things, quotes every day people share or leave on the internet, etc. It is all such a physical thing, a physical act...results, I promise won't last. You would need to re-up each day on a new quote to keep yourself going.

True cleansing, good thoughts, real inspiration comes from within. The work is inside...its an inside job. Hey, I can understand...maybe some do or say to be positive and thats okay, but thats half the job or yet the last half of it. You're not fixing anything.

True cleaning should come every day in all things that were said and done. How you truly think. How can we have a positive perspective or outlook on things when inside is uncleaned? Taking thought to think on how you impact someone or if you made someone feel good or bad, is everything. Trying to prove something to yourself and others is never good and should take careful thought and consideration...each and every day.

If we all do that everyday, I promise to you! We will all have a POSITIVE effect on one another, one in which that would last.

It is the "word" that helps do this, it cleanses us...when you get into the word and do your own self cleaning, it will always leave a positive effect on you and others...that is when you can aspire to be an inspiration to others.

Nothing can beat that!!

Love Always!!!

Taking A Moment To Ponder

Have you ever sat alone for at least an hour every day? No television, no radio, no Facebook, no laptop or computer. Not even talking to your friends on the telephone. Just taking a moment out to ponder, looking out at the trees, at the sky, watching how life moves, how nature is and how you would find out that life is about things happening naturally.

There's so much meaning to life, more than books, television, your friends, who is doing what, who is saying what, who just went where. It is so very important to take time out to listen to your own thoughts. Listening to yourself and what yourself is saying to you. There is so much you will miss if you don't listen to yourself every day. It's where things come back to you, it's where you will know where you went wrong, where you went right, who is for you, who is not for you - if there were more that could have been done or said in a situation. Ultimately, it's where God meets you.

We have so many remedies out there, yoga, pilates, etc. but I believe truth and real peace comes from you and that meeting place where you will find him. Listening out, waiting and being patient is key to life, you become beautiful in that time. Asking and putting your requests out there, then waiting for a response is what gives you hope.

Today, every day take a moment out to listen to yourself, you will feel grounded and at peace in your life no matter what you're going through. Your life should have balance, it should have meaning and purpose...and it's okay if it doesn't right now, because it is never too late to find you. Never! Those people who don't want to hear silence are afraid of what they may find out about themselves, but until they stop and listen out for themselves, to their own indiscretions, hurts, mistakes, pains it is in the silence where real happiness will begin.

Today start, then come back to me, leave your comments and we can challenge this with each other...I guarantee you, you will be happy.

Love
Natalie

Becoming Your Own Star!

Hello My Fellow Stars,

This is a re-introduction of "ME" and my blog. Every Friday look out for a new topic to Inspire : )

A star knows and understands that she needs time to rest and recharge her spirit before coming out again and sharing herself with the world. It's been a few years since my wedding day and my life has literally been turned upside down and back again and everyone knows that I am a woman of structure and understanding. When God brings something new into your life, something he purposed, he literally picks you up and takes you out of your comfort zone. In order to take you to that next level in life, he makes you feel a little uncomfortable before you level yourself out again. But trust me it is all for the best. Think about it this way, what do you think it feels like to be stretched and extended...it would feel a little uncomfortable, correct? Well that's growth. I have always loved to extend myself, not only to others, but within myself as well. I literally force myself to be uncomfortable, to see something new, something different...whether I want to see it or not. Uncomfortable is good, it is solid and it is real! It means your growing, it means you're being taken from one place to the other. Yaay!! Isn't that great. I would never want to be comfortable in my life...at least not for a long time. I need to know that I'm always being encouraged to grow.

A star also speaks truth to others, truth that only came from them...themselves, from within...not cliches from others or others statements of inspiration, even if it is to inspire, is not fair and question why. If it's a personal sharing one to one okay good, but is not yours and shouldn't want to get the attention and credit from. In order to put your name on something try to make it come from U.

When I speak to you guys it will always come from "me" only me a place of depth and understanding...pure and honest. Good or bad.

You guys find you, find that wonderful person you are inside - know yourself completely and don't be afraid to be made uncomfortable. You are doing nothing wrong! : )

So I ask you today, how are you being a star in your life...?

So happy to be back! Thank you Husband for your patience...
Natalie
