How to tell a New Prosperous and Loving Story for Your Life

Dearest Sparkle Being,

Today I write from a sunny disposition, smiling like a fool and cultivating curiosity after this past week of freakish stalls delays and uncomfortable mental logjams. Yes I am so happy the universal energy forecast last week was clear about suggesting we chillax– hey you made plans? Fah-gedda-boudit!

But what if your story was all about forging ahead, never allowing yourself a break and seeing yourself as not enough, less than, or entitled to more than is offered in those temporary moments that seem like eternities?

I don’t know about you but I found it all pretty comical mid-week where even meditation left the monkeys in my mind still capable of flinging poopy thoughts around while refusing to allow me sleep. Thank God there was only two days of that!

Here is the trick though when all else fails this mantra always works while breathing deeply- “this too shall pass- this too shall pass!” And without fail it does!

So as I teach and try to walk my talk I always do a regular housecleaning of my head and life each week so I get to see the silver lining in the clouds as well as look for any pesky old stories that used to define me come up and try to hypnotize me into thinking my “life is now as it was then”.

Only our stories tell us where we are and where we’re supposed to be and many of them run silently like apps on your phone eating up all your life energy while whispering things like “You are so fat! No one really loves you! There are no good men! Everyone else is getting what you think you should! Where is all the good stuff you’ve worked so hard at manifesting hiding? Who took it? What am I doing wrong? Why is life so hard? OMG Should I move to Sweden?” Waa waa waa

Or sometimes, if you’re committed to changing your story you can go digging to find what might be running so you can turn it off. But first you have to look for it then disable it.

We got Olli’s ashes back last Sunday and it was a moment where I was glad we had to wait to get Annabelle another week. I had to spend time with my grief and my gratitude and ponder a few things. It occurred to me that I am most comfortable being a rescuer.

In rescuing my dogs I had convinced myself that was the only reason they would love me. I was the fur baby hero bringing them to safety and love like no one else. Plus this makes me a very good person right? (I’m being a bit dramatic but really just to make a point).

Annabelle is not a rescue and I realize I am going to pick her up without the rescue agenda. I’m not saving her from anything. She has been home raised and loved and ready for a forever home. She is healthy and happy and playful and holy crap what if she doesn’t like me.

Will offering her love and companionship be enough without there being something wrong? The other shoe doesn’t always have to drop now does it!

If we’re willing to look at ourselves we can see the flaws in our stories but also the humor in them. Even our fears are sometimes just like giant dust bunnies that seem like they can eat us but actually when we look closer can float away just with a sneeze! Ah CHOO!

The danger is allowing the stories to keep playing. Lies and narratives that don’t serve our new evolving selves then drive our choices and behaviors.

No wonder we get confused.

Anyway if you and I want to tell a new story about our life we need to start telling the story in a new way.

Only way we can do that is allow curiosity to lead us since we are all walking into Uncharted territory (subject of my new book by the way comin soon!) and need to remember that the invisible realms are where we draw down the material world and our experience of it.

So I’m going to invite you to tell me about an old story that doesn’t work and a new story that will replace it. Or tell me an old story that you used to tell that you replaced already. Life can’t be the same when you tell a new story about it.

We were blessed with awareness and choice.

I’m going to step into my Uncharted life this week with some courage and curiosity and lots and lots of love.

Pics of Annabelle coming 😉

Sending you so much love and affection. Ok tag you’re it.
