Follow Your Heart

While on my interview with Macha about a week ago...she picked out an Oracle card that would fit me perfectly. And this one did, so I decided to share it with all of you! Some may not understand but for the situation I was in at the time - this card hit the nail on the head! XO

St. Francis:
Follow your heart. The answer to your question is in your heart. This card signifies that you can trust your hearts true desires even if you can't clearly see how the outcome will appear or manifest. This is a situation where you're called upon to walk in faith and be true to yourself. The Universe will ensure that your needs are met and will help you with your relationships as your make life changes.

Additional meanings: You already know what to do, trust your intuition and take action accordingly. Your feelings are accurate and valid. You're guided to make important and happy life changes. You're receiving true divine guidance through your feelings and intuition.

Curtain Call..

I am calling this post the curtain call because I finally finished Gabrielle's book! Now you may be wondering why I waited this long to finish the last chapter but I knew it was an important one and I wanted to make sure I was fully committed to this new life style. So after some much needed thinking - I decided to finish it the other night. And boy was I happy I waited.

This final chapter was nothing how I pictured it at all. And I mean this in a very good way. Gabrielle's comparison in the final chapter blew my mind. Who would think she would ever make a comparison to Anne Frank? Everyone may be wondering, what the heck is this girl talking about? Well you won't know unless you read the book. Sometimes its good to look at things in a different way than how they are played out. I guess Gabrielle was trying to show us that even in thr worst of times, there is always something good about it - even if you don't know.

Anne Frank believed in the light inside of her and everything good around her...I guess I can see how that is similar to your ~ing. With your ~ing you not only see good inside of you but in everything around you. When you see the good in you and you finally feel happy, then everything around you is good and happy. Kind of corny but think about it...it actually works! So, I HIGHLY recommend this book - so everyone should go out and buy it!! XO

"I am balanced"

Pilates on the beach :)

Every Tuesday and Thursday at work there is a pilates class in the gym. I started back up again after taking a two week hiatus from it with another co-worker. I love pilates and released that I should not miss out on this kick butt workout. I started feeling wobbly (spelling?) while using one of those workout balls. I started repeating to myself "I am balanced" which is one of Gabby's meditations. Holy cow, I don't think I have ever had a better workout than these two days. I honest to god was so balanced and so focused my abs are STILL killing me!
I started releasing that you can use that saying for soo many different parts of your life. But with pilates - it made the work out sooo intense! I am going to kick boxing today and hoping this can help too! I love feeling balanced. :) ENJOY & have a great weekend!!! :) XO

Cardio Kickboxing!! :)

One door closes - many more open

On Gabrielle's Twitter page, she made a statement that really struck me. She states that "Holding on to past resentment is a defense against the love that is present." This quote goes along with this month's theme of forgiving. It got me thinking about how I have forgave certain people in my past especially those certain ones from high school and I realized it has opened new doors to better people who have come into my life - more importantly my best friends who I have met in college. This is why this post is dedicated to them - for helping me realize that if you forgive people in your past more loving people or situations come into your life. You know, it is true that if you just let go of the past and let you life guide you somehow there are always better things to come.

And these are the beautiful ladies I am blessed to have in my life. I hope you enjoy this! XO

Big Girls Don't Cry

So today is the end of the "feel~ing" chapter and we move on to the "forgiv~ing" chapter on herfuture.com. I swear this book is like following my life perfectly on a day to day basis. The feel~ing chapter made me realize my feelings and really look inside of myself to figure out exactly what I want. This in turn made me realize that I am going to be happy a single 21 year old. But the next chapter in Gabrielle's book is "forgiv~ing" which could not come at a more perfect time. I think this month is really going to help me look even more inside of me and learn to forgive those who have hurt me in the past. "By reliving the past you are only hindering present love to enter your life" - I am pretty sure this is what Gabby said on her twitter this afternoon and this quote hit home for me.

So I have made a list of those who I need to forgive and release in order to allow love to find me again.
Here we go ... Ex-boyfriends, ex best friends from high school, LC, boys who played me, fake friends. This is just a short list but most of the stuff that has hurt me the most is guys and best friends. I mean it's nothing serious but for me it was serious. I lost friends, had my heart broken by plenty of guys, and was ditched by old friends. Nothing too fun - which has made me realize form reading this book that I need to fogive them & RELEASE them. AMEN TO THAT.

BEST DAY EVER

TO ME!!!

Today is a WONDERFUL, AMAZING, GREAT, FANTASTIC day!!! I have finally turned 21!! I know that many people are probably saying "this birthday is overrated" but shush! This is one day I have been looking forward to because I finally get to have all of my favorite people in the same place at once. Although I wish a few others were coming - it's all good!

Totally feeling my feelings today with all of this positive energy!

Karma is a B*TCH right? WRONG!

So this month's topic is on chapter one - focusing on feeling your feelings. This book club could not have come at a better time. More recently I have been really feeling my feelings in every aspect of my life. One day I am beyond happy because things are going great and then who knows a few days later, the smallest thing can totally set my feelings off. It may be something as a friend being upset with me, a boy (this is usually a problem for my feelings), work, my family, basically anything. I love how Gabrielle tells us to really feel our feelings and figure out where they are coming from. I did this yesterday while I was at work and was frantically freaking out for no reason - little did I know i knew exactly why I was freaking out. I have come to realize that it is usually boys and finding love that realllllllly affect my feelings. I hate this because these situations make me upset and this means I am blocking love from actually finding me.



This whole thing came about when one of my best friends and I were talking about our love lives and eveyrthing that had been going on since we haven't seen each other in a while. We both realized we had similar stories - boys who liked us, treated us like girlfriends but wouldn't do anything about it and make up excuses for not wanting to be anything more. I soon realized that this is not what I want to be part of - this boy was blocking love from actually finding me. I thought I had found it because he was pretty close to everything I imagined - sadly it was not the right time to have a legit girlfriend. My friend starting saying how this was going to bite her guy in the butt - basically saying karma is a sweet b*tch. But I stopped her from saying that and realized Karma really isn't a b*tch. Think about it... Gabrielle teaches us that the Universe has something planned for us. By not being in a relationship with this guy; it just means that something better is coming my way. I started telling her about how the Universe always has a plan for us as long as we act upon it and think of the Universe as a best friend.



So this totally got my creative juices flowing and I realized that people who constantly say Karma is a b*tch, trust me I was one of those until a few short weeks ago, that yeah karma exists but it necessarily isn't a b*tch. It honestly just means that something better is coming your way. Just think positively and know that the Universe is helping you - not trying to hurt you like most people think (karma.)



Just remember the Universe has a plan for you. So stop calling Karma a B*TCH - Remember Gabrielle told us it is not good to gossip ;) ENJOY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER!

Today is a GREAT day. For some reason I am really starting to believe that these meditattions are actually working. Surprising huh? I did a few of them in the office yesterday because I was so unfocused and today I couldn't be in a better mood. But I think I know the reason why. This month Gabrielle is focusing on feel~ing which is the first chapter of her book. This is when we truly feel everything we are suppose to feel.

With that .. today I am feeling alive, vibrant, amazing, and happy. I think it is because it is my younger sister's 19th birthday and this only means one thing .... MY 21st BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW! I can't wait to spend time with her tonight and all fo her friends and then with all of my friends tomorrow. It's times like these when people can either be really happy or upset with their birthday. For me - I could care less the amount of people who attend my party or where I go as long as I'm in the company of people who can make me laugh and feel happy.

But regardless this post is all about my sister today! Happy Birthday to my beautiful, amazing, and talented sister/best friend! I love you to the moon and back!

Do you worry whether or not a magnet will attract iron?

I didn't think soo...
This question was posted in Gabrielle's book as part of the chapter on focusing. I decided to revisit this chapter while at work today - my focus has been anywhere and everywhere except for my actual work. I was totally loving life and feeling the Universe on my side yesterday and all of sudden my focus was sooo thrown off.

After re-reading the chapter I realized that I was blocking my ~ing with stupid little worries that I honestly probably should not worry about. Little things like can I actually do this new internship, planning my 21st birthday (which is this friday!!), whether or not someone I like will call me to hang out again. Of course the stuff that I am worrying about does not involve work but it is somehow taking up my whole work day. No fun.

So I was in the need to get myself out of this mood and starting focusing. I downloaded ITune for my computer and listened to Gabrielle's focusing meditation three times to actually make sure I was listening, feeling and focusing on everything. honestly - best idea I have had a work today. I am hoping that by doing this my energy will change as well as my focus to the universe. The universe helps you achieve what you want if you positively focus on exactly what you desire. I have a few desires myself - but that will be saved for a later post.

Chapter 8 Overview

First off, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!! Today is a wonderful day and I hope everyone is out celebrating our independence. On to chapter 8 - as I mentioned before this past week while I was away was pretty much a 180 degree turn to how things were going before. I am starting to believe and know that my ~ing is really trying to show me that the Universe has something in store for me.

Chapter 8: Quantum Shifting - Life's Phone Booth Moments
This chapter is very powerful. It basically explains to you that if you follow your ~ing that you will experience these quantum shifts from within you. These are very powerful and awakening to the soul. This little moments, well maybe major to some, allow you to see how the Universe is working with you and your ~ing. These quantum moments help you to become the person you want to be.

One of my quantum shifts happened while I was on vacation with my family. I found out that after starting this blog and becoming a member of Gabrielle's website that I could apply to an internship for the website. Now my negative thinking got the best of me at first when I applied because I kept thinking that there had to have been hundreds of girls and women applying for this internship. So I sent my resume and the website to this lovely blog. After about a week or so, I heard nothing. Then out of no where I get an email saying that they wanted to contact me for the internship position. I was THRILLED - well correction BEYOND thrilled.

I recieved a call today with them saying that I was one of the few girls picked to be a "virtual intern" for Gabrielle and the book. This basically means that I will be facebooking, tweeting, blogging and creating discussions to get people interested in Gabrielle's book and to help spread the word of ~ing. I do not think I have ever been more excited about an oppurtunity than this. Today is going to be a good day after this call - it is the Universe telling me there is something in store for me - and I can not wait to see what it is!! Enjoy! XO

Chapter 7 Overview

So I apologize for leaving my blog so empty for a little while, I was on vacation with my wonderful family and we are currently on our way home from the lovely new york city. Anywho - this past week on my vacation so many amazing things happened and I can not wait to share them with you!! But I must explain more about what I am reading in Gabrielle's book.

Chapter 7: Stretching - Beyong the Ego's Backlash
So this chapter is very near and dear to my heart because of the past two weeks. Gabrielle explains that in this chapter that if your truly start to find and follow your ~ing that it is going to scare your ego. Your ego is basically the one telling you all the negative thoughts you have been having and by following your ~ing, your ego gets scared and starts to bascially retaliate on you. This is can happen with anything whether it be a simple habit or thought, your ego is there to drag you back to how you were before. And trust me from experience, this has already happened to me a few times. It stinks - plain and simple.

One day you think your doing so good and WHAM - your ego hits you right in the face and you are back to how you were before. I know this is not where I want to be when my ego tries to take over. Gabrielle gives you a few "tips" as to how to keep your ego out of the light and let your ~ing shine.

What Gabrielle tells you to do is: STRETCH. Now, you may think this is simple but it actually works! I do yoga or pilates whenever I feel my ego creeping back into my life. I believe that Gabrielle means this figuratively and physically because you physically need to stretch in order to get your mind away from going back to your ego. (Gabrielle uses a physical activity with almost every chapter in order to help you truly find your ~ing.) And she figuratively means it by saying that we need S-T-R-E-T-C-H beyond the ego; get as far away from it as possible. In a way I think of slinky dog from Toy Story (only because I saw it the other weekend) but he stretches in order to make himself longer - but this is what we need to do in order to not listen to our ego and find our ~ing.

When my ego creeps back up on me: relationships, being made fun of and looking good. These may be simple but they really bug me the most if my ego tries to creep back in any of these areas. Enjoy! XO
