Words to the Wise

"NEVER FALL OUT OF LOVE"

I was watching Gabrielle's F Word Lecture on her website and this statement really stuck out to me.

This statement is so true, the more you fall out of love the more you become distant to your ~inner guidance. The more you have love the more likely you are to find, follow, and stay with your inner guidance. And by love I don't think Gabrielle means falling in love with a guy and getting married and everything along those lines. But I think it means falling in love with yourself, with what makes your happy and who makes you happy. Again, that did not mean finding your prince charming but your best friends, friends, family, or whoever you love being around. It is all about making yourself happy and falling in love with you because the more you fall in love with yourself - the more likely you are to stay true to your inner guidance.

My list of forgiveness

On Gabrielle's site, we are in our second month of the book club which focuses on forgiving. Gabrielle helps to explain that we need to forgive those in our past in order to allow and let more love into our life. This got me thinking of those certain people who I need to forgive and release them. I was very hesistant in putting names on here but I decided I will just name them by the situations in which they have hurt me in the past.

Here we go.
To the...
  • to the boys in middle school who made fun of me and said I'd never be pretty
  • to the girls who talked behind my back and I still knew about it
  • to my two old friends from high school who ditched me
  • to those who followed them and ditched me too
  • to the boy who played with my heart and spit it right back at me
  • to the other boy who did the same exact thing
  • and to the other boy who did pretty much the same thing..twice
  • to the girl I've been jealous of for being better than me at outdoor activities

I FORGIVE YOU AND I RELEASE YOU.
Man, did that feel good!! This is what Gabrielle tells us to do in order to truly and actually let these thing go. And as weird as it sounds - I am actualy starting to feel better about this. I am now on the path to opening my heart to more love. <3

New Format

So I've decided to switch up how I am doing this blog. I was driving home from my best friends house - she just arrived home from Spain - and I had this moment of inspiration to try a new format for this blog. I think it will help me blog more and have it be more of who I am so everyone can get to know who I am.

So to everyone - hello! :) I go by Katie and this is my "new" blog. I am still following Gabrielle's book - no worries. So if you have yet to pick up this book and read it - I HIGHLY recommend it. www.addmoreing.com - check it out! :)

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
