Wishing you... by Glenda Gibbs

I’m hoping this is finding you with a full agenda … and if it isn’t, shortly it will be.


I’m hoping that you will get out of the house and find other’s whose circumstances are ‘worse’ off than yours … and perhaps you can smile … adding to their day as it will yours.


I’m hoping you find yourself mixing with people, nodding your head, smiling, offering a helping hand…. Perhaps sharing an act or two of kindness (maybe even anonymous).


I’m hoping you transmute a thank you … saying with your eyes, your smile, “ I appreciate you in my life” to each and every one you come into contact with …


I’m hoping you share with your family how special they are and without them your life wouldn’t be the same …


I’m hoping you take a moment to write a list of appreciation (you have experienced in your life) to God/Source/Universe – and most importantly thanking God for having the opportunity to be an expression of love, making a difference in this world and the experience of what love really feels like.



My friend … I wish you a successful day, because without you reaching out and touching mine, my life wouldn’t be what it is.

Is smiling really that big of a deal? by Glenda Gibbs

Is smiling really that big of a deal? by Glenda Gibbs

Did you know by smiling to the count of 60 - your energy/vibration can raise?

I suppose this notion of mine is purely subjective - perhaps you'll read this and try it for yourself.

Many years ago I learned by having visuals, (i.e., pictures) to trigger my inner happy button, I could raise my energy (also known as change my mood) - it's been a very effective tool.

As time and more tools learned, this application of smiling to the count of 60 became a routine part of my day. I really like how it works.

The two different applications of a smile:

I'm counting ... simultaneously with a smile on my face - my focus is to stay engaged to the count and smile - I accomplish it. While I did what I set out to do, the outcome is mechanical.

The other option: when I smile, count and allow my mind to experience something that brings me joy - not only am I connected to my self I've tuned into God/Source, subsequently my vibration has risen.

Today I had a client do this process. Upon completion she shared how much work it was to smile and count to 60; I shared with my interpretation of Tony Robbin's (motivational guru) spin ... while we're taught to focus on the destinations in life, there's more. He says the destination is very important however it's half of the equation - the journey is the other half - enjoy what you're doing while you're moving towards your goal.

Her realization - her focus was on the destination and she realized that doesn't smile much. Her assignment: smile, count to 60 and experience (within her mind) happiness ten times a day.

She was especially enthusiastic when learning this process increases the serotonin and is a powerful antidepressant.

Now that's a big deal!!

Happy day to you!

Amazing weekend ... by Glenda Gibbs

It's early and quiet. I've been in a non-stop mode for quite some time, especially this past week.

My weekend was quite a paradox of cultures and lifestyles... inclusive of 6am phone counseling session with a client, several wedding rehearsals and weddings, both local and at a distance (120 miles round trip) and a pre-marital counseling session with an inmate (of a maximum setting prison) and his former wife.

Random thoughts here .... the client - mid-thirty female with whom I've worked with for about 2 years has earned herself confidence, interrupting the incessant dysfunction of her past and putting in place healthy thoughts/behaviors and those choices have launched her into getting her life in balance, being a role model to her family ... implementing boundaries and demonstrating happiness is exclusive of the drama from which she came from. My working with her this past year has been more about 'fine-tuning' ... my listening is most astute to the subtleties and addressing those - her awareness is likened to a lit candle ... she shines

The weddings ... located at the following venues: a back yard; a historic mansion's grounds and steps to the mansion; an old park in Walla Walla WA ... with a gazebo having the main floor up a flight of stairs with a view of the park; a golf course club house; lastly, a river boat.

The prison setting ... while I've attended to other prison and jail settings, this was the first of it's kind. I'm continuing to process the experience - partly due to a written report I need to submit. Interesting thing ... I wasn't nervous - I didn't treat the inmate any different than I would one of my clients. We were in a large room with probably 20 tables where other inmates met with family and friends ... the inmates had to face the guards, I purposely sat across from my client and his former wife to my left.

Rather than begin the session with pointed questions, I asked them to tell me what they wanted me to know. Initially he was tight lipped and said that he wasn't going to share about his personal life to a stranger - which I understood, thinking to myself - if you're wanting to marry you'll need to find a way to share.

The former wife started talking... (they knew of the topics we were going to discuss prior to our meeting) ... as I continued to hold that frame of "what do you want me to know" he started engaging. His eyes were of steel - I looked beyond his eyes. While the human part of me knows it was his way of testing me... an attempt of intimidating me - I never released my eye contact instead I allowed my essence to flow. My mind was present to his sharing. Ultimately, it was their choice to share or not.

A couple of other attempts to rattle me were his religious belief of being Satanic and conversation inclusive of sex. My response to his belief of Satan ... it is his choice and regarding sex - dialogue regarding sex and the situation: imperative - should the conversation become inappropriate I'd say so ...

At one point he said, "you sure are relaxed". I acknowledged that I was (I really was as prior to going to the prison I tapped, said a prayer and I encased myself with golden light). I trusted my intuition.

This man is 41 and has been a 'free man' for 8 years of his life ... the remaining time being in prison settings. A variety of convictions, including theft, armed robbery and assault. He spoke of his life inside vs outside and how his former wife adds to his daily living. She agreed ... though she lives in her own prison, i.e., keeping her private life a secret from her bio family and her work. She's really excited that she has a new girl friend with whom she has shared the truth of her situation ... This couple have been together off and on (mostly on) since 1987 - married '88 and divorced '92. Six months past the divorce they resumed their earlier roles as husband and wife (unmarried).

I've given thought to the information they shared ... I asked myself if there was manipulation of their sharing or left out pieces of information ... probably. There is no doubt I received more information than either of them had even thought possible ...

My task was to determine their suitability for marriage.

I know they are concerned with what my recommendation will be to the powers at be in the prison system - I will write the report recommending that another session isn't necessary because of their cooperation and extensive disclosure of information and I recommend they be permitted to be married.

...

I recall being in each of the aforementioned environments .. paying attention to the energy .. I observed the conversations ... and the different levels of energy being drawn to support those conversations.

It also comes to my mind how we are all susceptible to being a prisoner to something. The inmate has walls surrounding him... I contemplate what I'm a prisoner to... and to reevaluate my freedom of choice.

Amazing weekend.

And today, I rest and replenish within my backyard... for it is a mecca of tranquility, a sanctuary where I'm privileged to enjoy the fresh air, sun shining, lush greenery, exquisite fragrances of flowers and trees blooming .. listening to the birds chit-chatting amongst themselves ... the bees as they delight themselves with the nectar of a sugar locust tree ..

A mother's letter to her adult daughter...by Glenda Gibbs

A mother's letter to her adult daughter by Glenda Gibbs

Briefing - I had made an earlier request for help, to which my daughter didn't want to have anything to do with it. After sharing a few thoughts, I scripted the following and sent it. Note: With my daughter's permission and her name removed we agreed this letter might benefit other mothers and their adult daughters.


Dear Adult Daughter,

We have for the most part – one way relationship. It doesn’t seem reciprocating. Reciprocating means sharing /exchanging. Our relationship exchange seems conditional – when it’s good for you, you’re available, when not …

Yesterday on the phone I heard the word “guilt” – that you didn’t want me to “guilt you into doing things for me” – I can’t make you feel guilty unless you choose to feel guilty. If you’re feeling guilty perhaps you aren’t living up to your potential. Just maybe guilt is the key to motivate you, I don’t know.

I feel like your demand is ongoing, very rarely are you satisfied for long, there’s another drama, another fire to put out, more money needed – perhaps being rescued is your way of assuring yourself that you’re loved – and a payback for not being protected as a child.

I further suggest your unwillingness to volunteer to help me or come to my house is because you hold energy/thoughts/feelings all associated with how you were denied/wronged as a child. These behaviors along with your unwillingness to get professional help or delve into your own personal development are met with stubbornness, know it all attitude, anger, and reasons/excuses of why I (along with others/events) are always to blame – consider this: you’re stuck.

Speaking for myself in this moment, generally when there is change or I need something, I’m met with a wall of resistance.

Your usage of marijuana, smoking and weight gain are all self medicating methods to reduce anxiety.

Yes, you’re very smart, never a question. You’ve learned the typical therapeutic knowledge and processes … no different than what I’ve experienced – and life wasn’t working for me either … sort of like memorizing the manual to ride a bicycle and getting on it and putting that intellectual collection of information to use – not – the application / experience is entirely different. You haven’t been willing to do the work – doesn’t make you bad or wrong – it means that your survival mechanisms are doing their job.

At some point I wish for you that you’ll “pony up” … quit playing a “lose-lose” game with your life … that will be a different message to teach your children and your husband. The benefits you’ll experience will be profound.

I can’t change what happened to you – and as I’ve shared, I apologize. I did the best I knew to do.

For you, there is that little girl who resides within you and continues to be upset and crying out for attention, needs proof she’s loved … I can’t do the work for you … only you can … she needs to know you’re there for her

Your response to my needing help with my moving – accepting your offer now - let’s don’t. I’ll take care of this move for myself. There are other ways to get my needs met without dealing with the resistances, drama and adding additional stress.

I don’t love you less – I love you very much, more than you believe.
Mom

SEIZE THE MOMENT By Glenda Gibbs

Many people die with regret... they share of how they 'should have' ... 'wished they could' ... and 'if only' ... harboring unfilled dreams. They tend to blame many, including themselves. The guilt is generally overwhelming and their passing is difficult...

On the other hand, there are folks who have had down times yet they found the inner strength and courage to find the good in life ... they were optimistic and for the most part, they enjoyed their life. They shared they had laughed and appreciated life, relationships were very important and they felt good making a difference in other people's lives. They further added, they wouldn't change anything about their lives ... they experienced fulfillment. Their transitions were easy.


Consider this... you are living the end of your life ... now.


May your day be all that you wish for!

A two year old provides us metaphors to a successful life …

A two year old provides us metaphors to a successful life …
by Glenda Gibbs

Yesterday I shared my time with Benson, who is two. We were out doors where he has a big backyard to play in, a couple of Cocker Spaniels to play with – though he has little time for them as he’s more interested in duplicating his father’s actions.

Benson grabbed my hand and led me to the ‘big boys’ shop where the ‘big’ riding lawnmowers and motorcycles are stored. We went inside and quicker than you can blink an eye, he was over, around and through the maze and all but on a mower. I found myself moving quicker than I have in a year or two, and while swooping him up in my arms he had the realization his adventure was brought to a halt.




Let me rewind for a moment, since this baby has been barely old enough to be propped in front of his father on the riding lawnmower, Benson has been glued, watching every move. His father taught Benson how to “drive” and “shift” – Who would have known this little masterminded curly-red-head has a photographic memory?

I’m guessing he was a little older than a year (not much though) we were out in the backyard, his dad had left the riding lawnmower outdoors with the key in the ignition.

Imagining a little guy at that age knowing how to climb up and attempt to turn the key (the only thing that prevented this from occurring was that he didn’t have the strength). Benson would move the wheel back and forth; he attempted to move the lever on the handle bar – he was ready to make that thing go. Thinking to myself, oh my gosh, changes are in the works. His daddy decided it was time to move the lawnmower into the shop – with a closed door.

Christmas brought him a John Deer riding lawn mower just like his father’s.

Returning to yesterday … after Benson realized that I was interrupting his grand scheme and fussing and flinging about in my arms for a moment, I assured him we’d do something else. We did. He took off headed for his riding lawn mower – I quickly realized that it was operational. It too had a gas pedal (that works), gears including reverse (that work) and the steering wheel that moves when he turns it. He jumped on that thing just like he’s watched his dad a zillion times. Driving it around, he’d get off pick up sticks and add them to the attached bed … and get right back on and continue.

I was amused to watch him while he was driving on an uphill slant, occasionally the tires would lose traction preventing him from going anywhere. He’d jump off of it, saying something about it not getting enough gas (remember he’s two), fiddle with the gas lid saying it would get more gas, jump back onto the seat and put it into gear, foot on the pedal with determination and belief that mower would move forward – and it did, with a helping hand unbeknown to him.

I love being Benson's grandma.

A great experience, and with my recapping to my daughter (Benson’s mom) several metaphors appeared…

May I suggest this little guy watched, learned, listened and he took action; without thinking, he believed …

Where might you apply this little guy’s wisdom in your life?

Wishing you a happy day!

"Where ever you go, there you are"

An anonymous member writes the following post, beyond it I've responded.

Maybe God IS the Universe
As a "born-again" Christian at the age of 9......I made many major mistakes throughout my life. Living too long with an abusive husband, NOT attempting to own the things which were rightfully mine, and often not standing up for my rights because I wanted to be a "peacemaker". Which would have been more fulfilling and productive: Following Christianity (as it is mistakenly taught) OR accepting God's gifts? Gifts, including [Law of Attraction] LOA, laughter, love and adventure. Positive things in your life are gifts from God, whatever YOU see God to be. A spirit,a being,far beyond our most intent imagination. I feel some sadness for those who would belittle what God most likely is, by insinuating that God's gifts can be distorted by some other negative and hopefully nonexistent entity. Using our intelligence and positive thinking is acceptance of the gifts we were given at birth. Most likely they could help us to make the world a better place. Isn't it somewhat rude to be ungrateful for them?

My response:

I'm thinking there are many times in my life where "my not enough stuff" dominated ... when complimented I couldn't accept - because in my mind I wasn't living up to the ascribed teachings of Judeo-Christianity. I wasn’t worthy.

The concept that my creativity was a gift from God was one thing however I thought God was somewhere out there - especially 'up there' sitting on a throne in a white cloaked garment sporting a long white beard. Let’s not forget the staff. :)

Never a clue the gifts (i.e., my creativity, daily behaviors of helping someone or looking nice, or smiling) were an expression of God being manifested.

So what does all of this have to do with the original post? I believe there are those who are where I was and they are potential students for those of us who have evolved.

Evolving doesn't make me better; it makes me more responsible - responding with ability. I choose to be responsible and share me - how ever that looks.

For many of us, our myopic teachings are inclusive of us/them, better/worse, judgment/acceptance and as we evolve these teachings lose their grip individually and collectively. Example, Obama wouldn't have been a president ten years ago - we as a society had more evolving to do.

Life is filled with contrast and with this contrast we're able to discern what works in our lives and what doesn't and this occurs as we mature emotionally and spiritually.

“We are all where we are until we aren't.”
“Where there is a student there is a teacher.”
“We're all teachers and students.”
“Be the change we wish to see in others. “

An invitation ... for us to look at those aspects of others that we don't particularly care for and ask ourselves how "their" behavior is a reflection ...

In you, I see me

The power of an idea ...

The power of an idea whose time has come is really the power of Spirit at work. - Wayne Dyer

This thought brings to mind the times when I have heard someone say that "I" came up with the idea, giving the impression they are the mastermind behind the idea, their ego is really bruised when someone else has an similar idea or one that's better ... and there are those who we all know who have a great idea and downplay it, minimize it and or neglect using it. Both perspectives aren't about acknowledging God/Spirit/Source.

When I speak or facilitate or anything bringing the attention/compliments to me ... used to be I'd downplay it (thinking I'd be boasting), later realizing how sharing my gifts are an inherent expression of God/Spirit/Source. I really feel good getting to share, experiencing others benefiting from my sharing is so gratifying.

I am the tool through which ideas flow forth and this happens when "I" get out of the way and allow.

Random musings about "faith" and Law of Attraction

Have faith. Trust in a Universe that's endless and endlessly creating. Trust that the Creative Source of All knows exactly what It is doing. -Wayne Dyer

Contemplating this .... faith

A friend shared Law of Attraction (LOA) doesn't "work" for him. He says he doesn't have the faith in it and (adding his thinking is more traditional, allopathic and scientific)...

My thoughts continued on to how my faith is paramount be it in God, love, life, LOA and the freedom of choice...

A whimsical thought appeared recalling my 13 year old grandson listening to "You gotta have faith" by George Michael...

This has probably been shared a thousand times - here's one more - how many things do we take for granted? ... the coffee pot delivering fresh hot coffee, the water faucet delivering water when turned on, the flip of a switch turns the dark to light... the newspaper being delivered ... we take these things and a wealth of others for granted. Without thought they happen.

... and yet, like my friend when something that's out of my comfort zone grabs my attention -- doubt or belief?

"You gotta have faith"

In every thought ...

"In every thought there is a belief...YOU get to create what that belief is...The choice is yours...Believe big and bold." – Paul Hoffman, Success Songs

From being on auto-pilot with my thoughts to paying attention to exactly what I am thinking can be an interesting experience - randomly I'll find myself having a out of sync thought - and I'll say (to myself) where did that thought come from or what's that all about? and for the most part it gets dismissed. Amazing. And then I think of how I used to live life without paying attention to what the 'filler' was or to question the validity of my thoughts and for that matter, to realize my thoughts/beliefs and emotions are of my choosing.

Any time we challenge our beliefs we're allowing ourselves to be big and bold.

Life is great!

BEING ONE OF MANY OR MANY OF ONE

At the local duck pond … it’s interesting to watch some of the ducks waddle on over to the edge of the water … getting their feet wet and waiting for someone to throw feed. A flying slice of bread lands, instantly a herd gathers – their jostling all but consumes the person who threw the bread…

Over yonder, there are other ducks turning somersaults and diving for food. It seems they’re familiar with their surroundings and somewhat detached – they’re not waiting or dependent on someone to feed them.

Those ducks looking for a free handout will starve without someone feeding them … some how they didn’t get the feel good feeling of taking care of themselves.

I wonder how this might be a metaphor for those of us who believe we need to ‘fix’ someone’s life? I wonder how we cripple them into smallness rather than supporting them in their greatness.

To you living your best life!

He who buries his head in the sand is apt to get his butt kicked

I recently had a conversation with someone who is experiencing turmoil in his life. Having a curious nature about me I asked what kept him in his uncomfortable situation. His response, “It’s comfortable and at least I know what’s going on, if I change I won’t know won’t what to expect.”

We have this fallacy with “being comfortable”. Is it possible that being comfortable also equates conditioning? Perhaps being comfortable alters our perception of life.

When …
• Life isn’t working the way we want it, we say, “life sucks!”
• Our health is compromised – we blame it on _____ (kids, work, animals, etc.)
• Relationships aren’t what we expected – it’s the other person’s fault
• Our job isn’t great anymore? – just too much stress …
• Opportunities are passed to the other person – we’re mad

Being comfortable with a menu of knowing what to expect robs us of living our best life.

One thing is certain, when we hangout with this thinking, we find our friends with similar viewpoints – that’s a comforting thought, huh.

Scary as situations can be, by taking baby steps we can outgrow our myopic beliefs.

It’s a choice.

To you living your best life!

To you … a ‘special’ person on Valentine’s Day

To you … a ‘special’ person on Valentine’s Day …

I’m all about enjoying life and feeling good - especially on Valentine’s Day.

Used to be I didn’t care for Valentine’s Day, it was sort of depressing … a really long time since I’d had a special someone to share Valentine’s Day with – so, I decided to change my experience.

Knowing how good it feels to be a recipient, I began sharing with others in an email, card, phone call, or a gift; it’s been so much fun!

May your day be filled with expressions of love.

xoxoxo
Happy Valentine’s Day!

I'm here for you ...

A member wrote wanting to connect ... I responded. My response is for the woman to reconnect with herself and her God/Source first. Read along ... and by all means leave your comments. - Happy day!

Hello,
It's been a long time since I've written anyone on Eons. I've relocated and been so busy and yes, disoriented, that I've not been keeping in touch with anyone. Since moving, I've been so off spiritually and need to reconnect. -Anonymous

Hello,
Sounds like a time to sit down, grab something to drink and write yourself a letter - you know like you would to an old friend that you've been out of touch with ... let her know how busy and disoriented you've been and how you've missed her and you're here now for her ... maybe even include ways that you intend to spend time with her ... maybe even a funny story or two. When you're complete - don't forget to say I love you prior to signing it... and put it in an envelope and place it where you can read it often - maybe at your bedside.

Welcome back and do stay in touch.

Happy day to you!
Glenda

If you could have just one wish … what would it be?

If you could have just one wish … what would it be?

A woman replied, “I want to be self confident.”

She continues sharing, “I’m good at conversation, making people feel comfortable and accepted. Excellent mom and I have a quick dry sense of humor and a wonderful energy within me that sometimes shines. I’m not sure where my talent lies; I’m very drawn to the artistic side of things since a small child (left-handed Gemini raised in a house full of right-handed, sensible thinkers who were very not into anything dramatic or artistic really), I’m not excellent at any one thing and not sure that there is a natural born talent there, although I wish there was.”

My response:

So what if you continued to improve/excel with the things that you enjoy and that you're already 'drawn' to - such as the artistic side of things, good conversation, making people feel comfortable/accepted...

We’re on the same page – business isn't my strength either and thank god for online banking and others who have good business savvy and skills.

I too, am very strong with the artistic side, have the ability to make people feel comfortable and relaxed ... after trying for years of being what I thought everybody else wanted – to fit in – I realized when it came to the end of the day - I was exhausted trying to be everything to everyone

The people came and went but what about me?

It took me many years to realize my self care was paramount.

Being different is a good thing!

Once I grasped being different is a good thing I got to work developing the areas that I was already good at. The more I trusted this process, the more I found where I fit in life. More doors of opportunity opened – Abundance!

Interestingly enough … being playful and allowing that 'wonderful energy' to shine felt so good, I can’t imagine life without it.

Wishing you a great day!

Living Life or Waiting to Die?

An anonymous member writes: I am going to give (name deleted) your phone number - it's her turn to take care of herself.

… when we have done everything we know (and God knows we give it everything) … except permission … permission to believe it’s okay to move away from chaos and into taking charge of our lives.

All the while we’re moving through life we get tired… we want better. Our radar is searching for a fix –self-medicating with food, alcohol, drugs, sex, work – you get the idea… anything to reduce the anxiety… should we move in closer to examining our thoughts and behaviors the anxiety increases.

Living Life or Waiting to Die?

Freedom begins with believing there really is a better way

Freedom occurs when we move up the ladder for guidance

Freedom is realizing that a problem can’t be solved with the same thoughts and behaviors causing it

Freedom occurs as we invite a professional who is objective and who shares our blind spots with us

Freedom occurs as we let go of self- recrimination

Freedom occurs when we let go of blaming others

Freedom occurs as we examine and challenge our thinking and our patterns

Freedom occurs when we give ourselves permission to really believe that we have the ability to change

Freedom occurs as we realize most of our thoughts are a composite of the past and we can change those causing us resistance

Freedom occurs when we realize we’re human and making mistakes is okay

Freedom occurs when we realize mistakes allow us the opportunity to improve

Freedom occurs when we learn to say no and set boundaries

Freedom occurs when a person changes their mind – they respond with a choice that works for them rather than in opposition

Freedom occurs when we don’t take ourselves so seriously, we can play and have fun!

Freedom is a choice …

Living life is a choice too…


May you make a choice that you can live with.


-Glenda


Live with passion… Be Healthy, Wealthy and Happy

If you don't have the richly rewarding relationships you desire… the intimate, empowering partnerships you deserve… and the satisfying, successful career that provides the money, freedom, fulfillment and fun you dream of… it's because of your beliefs. Change your beliefs, change your life.

Energy flows where attention goes ...

A member of a group that I manage said: "When we step back and view what is occurring from the bigger picture, we see very positive changes unfolding in many, many areas around the world."

My response - “I agree!!!"

Upon reading this, I’d like to hear your thoughts …

Our ego has us believing we’re separate. This creates discord.

We (people) being spirits being born into a physical/human experience quantifies separation. We are living in a vortex of contradictions trying to discern the best path, the right way of doing things ... and without being connected to others of like mind and our source, the journey is despondent to joy perpetuating further separation.

The ability to step back at times is difficult - we're human. Because we're human it’s simple to believe we’re stuck and or unable to disengage the destructive behaviors.

Separation is an illusion.

At some point, most of us will say there has to be a better way … and we seek ways of improving life.

People are inherently good.

It is the beauty of like-minded people who know and believe this truth share it... looking for the good in all, demonstrating there is a better way and exploring possibilities, connecting with others - known as synergy.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

When we feel connected and even when we’re having a “life-suck” experience, we know - we believe there is a better way. We go within - we pray, meditate, we journal, we seek and listen, learn and share with others, we continue to explore our beliefs. We let go of unhealthy beliefs. We heal. Our awareness develops. We make healthier choices. We appreciate how good 'feeling good' really is and realize we're at choice with how we respond to the events in our life and the lives of others. The more of this incredible way of being we experience the less need of separation - subsequently our come from of having a better world differs of one who says my world is better than yours. We awaken to “we are the world” and “it’s in every one of us”.

May this find you being the change you seek for others…
