Weekly Insights: Cycling Through Change...

The pendulum swings through another cycle in the great story of life. Whether it is a high time or a low time, this humanKIND is in it together. We are all connected on such a deep, subconscious level - whether we acknowledge it or not. We experience cycles of growth and learning, and cycles of death and transformation. At the end of every election cycle, one side of the coin celebrates while the other side mourns. After months of "othering" the party on the flip side, words of separation, judgement, and criticism echo in the mind and heart. This can make it difficult to move forward. Just like there are poor losers, there are poor winners too. The key is in practicing grace. Grace is the vehicle that takes us to the high road in life. We get to drive ourselves toward the path we resonate with the most, and we can also reflect on how we feel when we are on the opposite side of the coin. Moving through this latest political cycle, we have an opportunity to be a bridge builder or burner. We can decide to continue to use separation as a tool to push one another further away, or harness the power of the word and communicate with people in order to open the line of togetherness and unite with others. There is no right or wrong - it is simply a choice that will offer a frequency. When people ask us how we are moving forward in our communities and neighborhoods, our answer is simple... with Love. We keep waking up to our dreams, following our hearts and doing what makes us feel most alive and connected. We seek our passions and take time to forgive past hurts and pains. We do our best to stay present and not allow the past or future to get in the way of the gift of the now. By living our passions and dreams, we are contributing Love to our communities. We have conversations with our neighbors who think differently than we do, and we always find ourselves agreeing on more than what we disagree on. We stand up for our Loved ones who have been marginalized in society, and speak out when injustice tries to take the power away from the good. We are not afraid of being wrong or losing, that is part of this life, and we will all have to experience it at different points along the journey. Finally, we do our best not to meet hate with more hate, but instead to either offer Love or walk away in peace. It is most important to understand that no one can change anyone else. We are also not responsible for how others think, believe, or behave. The only thing we can control is how we choose to live our lives and respond or react to life as it unfolds. The rest is completely out of our hands, and therefore a waste of time to worry about or try to control. Our peace is important enough to fight for. By reacting to the outer world and trying to change someone or something out of our control, we are wasting valuable energy. Use that energy to build the dream life filled with health, happiness, Love, success, and prosperity. When we focus on building the life of our dreams, everything else finds its way back to harmony around us.

We send out our Love and our prayers for peace to all. May we navigate through change with ease and grace, and find ways to meet each other in the middle. Life is too short to be angry, to fight with our Loved ones, or to hold onto disappointment or pride. Let it all go and focus on the dream life and the steps to achieve those dreams. Every day is a chance to merge with our good and let go of the rest. May peace and Love provide us with the Light needed to soar ahead on our sacred life path. We wish everyone the very best during these changing times.
