Surrender.

“Surrender”, she said
“surrender”, I said in return…to a life
To God
To journeys, to exploration –
That’s all there is…
A creative mark
A thumb print –
To celebrate to share
To reflect…
Remembering birth
Dancing with wind
Glow in the light
Of a simple moon
Floating, Floating
On a wave lit with foam –
Acceptance Forgiveness
and giving love
Unconditional love.

“Surrender” I said again.
Surrender in return.

Paz Nov. 2008

A few weeks ago, while out on the ‘look out’, I found the coolest purple kitty collar. There wasn’t a lot of information on it, but thought I should give it a try. Of course, I found one that’s purple, his favorite color, and put it on him for a test run. Cleo’s first collar was not well received, but within two days, her black and green collar was a comfortable part of her. These collars are awesome! It doesn’t mat their hair because it is made out of a hi-grade hiking rope and its safe.

New Kitty Collar

I was concerned about trying out these collars. The safety of our kind little creatures is number one. After a trial run of five weeks with the new kitty collar, Trip feels safe about telling you about them and selling them on the site. So, watch for more news, photos and information on the new kitty collar called Bikini!

That is all for now.

A friend stopped by the other night for a visit. It had been at least three months since I had that sense of fondness fill my heart; a shared connect that simply can’t be explained or shared with any other. It is what I have, own and share with only that one person and no one else. Its a sweet love of its own.

Traveling, journeying, experiencing is all great – wouldn’t have it any other way. But what is missed, truly missed, is that sweet love of fondness shared with a special someone that has longevity of times. The magical ingredients of trust, curiosity and a dash of courage, makes for magical insights and laughter filled moments. Its what feels naturally uplifting – the sense of giving and receiving of yourself with no agendas, missions or preconceived notions. I call it sweet love that wakes all senses.

Friendship is beauty on the inside; a presence that creates the aura of safety, comfort and openheartedness. Friendship is what keeps our hearts and souls united.
Friendship is an enduring fondness and affection that is built on trust and respect. Friendship is what I call upon during the difficult times. Friendship is walking the same direction with a bit of pinching, laughing, nudging and maybe even a little bit of hand holding.

Love, love and more sweet love.

Space. Creating space within creates expansion through-out.

Feel. No matter the situation, feeling will be my guide and my compass.

Patience. This is a vital ingredient to my serenity.

Truth. Operating in my truth is operating timelessly.

Power. Always work in progress when it comes to being in power. Clarity and Power go hand in hand.

Will. The more willing I am the greater my life experiences will be. It is fearlessness.

Genuine. Comes from the internal to reach and connect to the external.

Intention. Intention is my mission.

Freedom. It is a knowing. Value in I and moving in purpose equal free.

Humor. Holds the key to capturing the listener.

Change. Nothing ever stays the same. Expect the unexpected.

Success. Knowing that I am loved. Knowing that I give love.

Acceptance. There are things I can not change and there are indeed things I can change.

Aware. Being sharply aware creates a vision that is magical versus mundane.

There is a great deal I don’t know. One that comes to mind is where I am going on this journey, and that’s ok, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Enjoy the journey. Though the destination is not the goal, I do want to journey where I am destined to full fill my destiny.

Feel Space.

For someone who has always been use to doing something, doing nothing proves difficult. Why is that? Will I miss something? Will someone think less of me? If I let society rule, it creates the path at which I walk on. What if I were to take a different perspective on do nothing? What might that bring? No matter how people think to my actions or lack there of, what is real and important is the pureness that I move in.

The card of the day is, Impeccability – “It becomes irreproachable and beyond criticism. Live life motivated by flawless interity.” I love this, “impeccability is the potent power of heart and soul over mind and ego.” I love these Universal Truths cards, absolutely love them!

Taking Trip’s advice into account I will take a new perspective on do nothing. My take – do nothing equals calm. Calm connects to breathe. Breathe give space. Space opens possibilities, discoveries, insights. Very interesting. Maybe do nothing is actually something and more.

Feel Space.

Lately, I adventure in a new community. New places and faces, new coordinates and visuals,
setting a cognitive pathway that is all together exciting and refreshing. I noted, if I travel using my head, it simply gets to mental and takes away from what experiences may be had.
Traveling while staying centered in my heart awakens an essence that feels almost foreign, but yet wonderful. It provides me with a wonder that accommodates a silent knowing, no matter what swirl of energies are present.

The other day was my birthday. I decided to do exactly what I wanted to do and that was going swimming in the ocean. Spending the day attempting to surf, releasing in the ocean waters of California taught me to stay in what brings me joy. Staying in the joy may sound cliche but could not be more poignant for our times.

It comes down to a choice I make. Choice number one, hitch a ride on the swirl of energies thrashing this way and that leading me to exhaustion or choice number two, hitch a wave that brings joy, leading me to intuitive clarity. I see and feel a great number of people in pain with all the many changes happening in our world today. Walking in the soles of acceptance, I know, there are things that I can not change, but on the flip side there are things I indeed can change. Being willing to choose a pathway that will be rewarding to me, will ultimately be rewarding to others in my community.

I chose hitching a ride that brings an awesome awareness of joy. This, of course, is easier said then done, but, awareness holds the key. No matter what community I may find myself in, my conclusion is being clear and calm will be a great gift to offer.

Consciousness, being the UT word of the day, says this, “to be conscious is to draw from the Great Universal Well. It is a forceful energy that can remedy any situation.” “Conscious to draw from the Great Universal Well” how deep is that?

I don’t need to seek far to what Trip was attempting to convey to me. In my continued journey my peace will come from being loyal and devoted to being connected with my higher consciousness. My creativity will vibrate on a higher level by staying connected with the color purple. Operating with this awareness will lend me a peaceful power to which is uniquely mine.

If there is a message to convey to you, who may be reading this blog today, the message is simple… I have guides guiding me and you have guides guiding you. We just have to connect and be aware so that we may be present when the message is conveyed. Jane Austen in Mansfield Park wrote, “we have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.”

Feel Peace.

Speaking truthfully, life has its challenges right now. A great deal of them. It’s easy to wrap myself in what appears to be pressures, challenges; the heaviness of it all versus the flip side, the wonders, preciousness and love; the light of it all.

There are many precious things in the world. According to dictionary dot com there are precious metals, precious time, life is precious, precious memories, precious child, and even a precious fool, to name a few. According to adventures of trip dot com what is precious is in the sharing; precious laughs, precious tears, precious support. Preciousness is in the sharing of open-heartedness, open-mindedness and open-handedness of ourselves.

What is precious is Trip’s gift in telling me the word of the day is precious.

Thinking about the power of magic brings a sense of great responsibility.  Can you imagine being able to turn darkness into light?  I say, we all can if the pure intention is present.  

In my adventure today, I will walk with love in my heart, courage in my stride and intention of goodness and will report the magic back to you.
