Emotions…passions….convictions……

September 22nd, 2010 Christine Posted in Christine's Journey No Comments »

Apparently I am an emotional person….some may say too emotional. Apparently emotions are something one should not have too much of!  I wonder how a person goes about detaching themselves from their emotions so that they may be accepted among the “normal” ? Or the under-emotional?

What,you may ask, is this lady talking about?! LOL Ok…I know it sounds very gloomy and all but really it is not and I am not being pessimistic at all! If anything I am being philosophical. This world is made up of many different types of beings….we have the overly emotional, the average emotional, the under emotional, and then of course the VOID of emotion! These are just naming the emotional character traits, we know there are so many more character traits out there…….Jeesh! It does take a lot of different types to make this world go round! Even though it takes many to make this beautiful world go round….my passions and emotions seem to catch people off guard!

I ask myself “WHY”? why is it that people have a hard time with my passion and emotions? Want an example? Ok…..let us say that God throws a person in my life, complete serendipity as to the way we meet and the way we can help each other! I mean…there is an obvious purpose here, for this meeting. So…we help each other, but her helping me is not so obvious, at this point it is more about me helping her and she is happy to take my encouragement and my passion for helping her, she is happy to use me to the best of her ability at this point because, quite frankly, before I came along she was falling apart fast with no life line in sight! So…I do what I do, I help, I encourage, I talk…..we are friends, fast.  At some point she is done with me and apparently my energy and passion overwhelms her…but I am the same person who she met and was happy to call on…a lot! I have not changed but she cannot take my passion any longer.  Nevertheless, for me, this is a friendship and I am not prepared for the shift in relationship and it always hurts when it happens.

The above example is not a new situation for me, I have been here before. People have no problem using my passion and energy to their benefit and when the problem is solved I become an irritant. Problem here is that this is who I am…I am passionate and I have tons of energy for helping others……..so I have come to the conclusion that having this energy and these passions and emotions really is not a good thing. It is a problem. I have learned and am still learning to control my emotions and passions so that people do not catch on to the depth of them! Eventually I scare people off, unless they can harness my passion and solve their problems. Then, after their problems are solved or they have found other, more controlled people to “take it from here” I get kicked to the curb to await the next catastrophe in their lives when…you guessed it…. I get the call!

So…are deep emotions..passions and convictions a good thing?  I am still left wondering………

What is in a word anyway?

September 7th, 2010 Christine Posted in Christine's Journey No Comments »

Do you receive your encouragement from the words of others? Can you imagine if you lived a life where you either had a good day or bad day based on the words of others? Don’t we need to draw our strength,encouragement…hope…well being…from ourself and God? So it seems if our relationship is good with God then we should not need the encouragement of others to validate who we are or what we can accomplish. Right? Wrong? I look around at others and wonder….do they put much stock into what others think about them? Does it only matter what God thinks? I mean…YES…emphatically YES…that is all that matters BUT is everyone able to pull that off? I know the rational answer is no, of course not! Not everyone can pull that off, there are many people who are just not that well adjusted and confident! So….wonder what kind of therapy we need when we lose our confidence and the words of others are not helping…no, quite the contrary, the words or lack of words from others is tearing you down…stealing your confidence…what then? Motivational tapes? Self-help books? THE BOOK? Does there come a time when you just need to “ASK” for help from an outsider and if so…when has that time arrived? Living a life where you are beaten down, with a lack of confidence….when the only hope in your life is the hope that the day you get to go “home” will arrive soon….how sad. And you cannot blame others because as I said….you cannot find your validation in life through the words or actions of others…this must be hard! It is hard…..! As I think through this I decide that this is the very reason that it IS so important to validate and encourage others, not just friends,business associates or family…but the stranger in line who feels she is being a pain in the butt with all of her coupons and screaming kids…..but all she is doing is trying to stretch a buck to feed her family and maybe she does not have a spouse to help keep the kids calm at the store or at home( and it is so easy for so many to pass judgement and say things like..”well she had the kids and the bad marriage,not me”…really? YOU have no idea what her situation is). SMILE at her..make her feel like it is OK that she is taking the time to save money….don’t sit there and bitch about how long this is taking or how you should not have gotten into that particular line! OR how about the family driving in the clunker and there you are driving along in your nice car yelling that she should get that thing off the road that she is a hazard! Really? So what are you going to do about it? Buy the family a new car? Like it or not it may be the only way she can get around…to the Dr’s or to the store…How sad to think that others find it such an inconvenience for the poor and struggling to share our space. I say *SMILE* at others…..maybe we shouldn’t find validation in the words or actions of other but…..BUT…since we know that not everyone is that well adjusted, then maybe it is really important for us to try and make an effort to help others feel worthy of taking up space in our precious world! huh? Oh…you cannot be bothered to worry about other peoples emotional well being…ok….then don’t smile. Your choice. The intolerance that I see out in this world everyday is very disheartening! And you can call me a person who is trying to live a Utopian life…..a dream chaser…..unrealistic! Whatever! I would rather be me….believing that I can make a difference than you yelling at the poor and underprivileged believing you are better than they are. Sometimes I want to step out of the light and tell you all to go to hell. But then again….my words may make a difference to you, so I will not! Rather I will just say..God bless! Isn’t it amazing that people take your silence and taking the higher road as a sign of weakness!!?? AMAZING! **and because so many LOVE to take my words and twist them…let me say that when I refer to “you all” I am making a general reference to people that I see mistreating others.

Circle of Love

June 9th, 2010 Christine Posted in Christine's Journey, Find YOUR Bliss No Comments »

Would you like to be surrounded by love or hate?  I know that probably seems like a no brainer to you, you may even think I am just reaching here for something to write about…maybe I am! LOL  But I am not. I assure you I am headed somewhere with this question.

You know I go through my days, in search of my bliss, ever in search of my bliss, and I am pretty successful in finding said BLISS but as I have stated in past posts….retaining that BLISS is the hard part. So..it comes and it goes….as I am beginning to see that Bliss has a way of doing! It is the nature of bliss.

But as I go through my days and I interact with other people I cannot help but ask the question….do you really want to be surrounded by love?

Let me explain…..I go through my days and I interact with family and on occasion I meet others as well and whether it be family or strangers I sometimes have conversations with these people about happiness….and judgment and selflessness. These are good conversations where I feel like I am with like minded people. I usually am recharged by these conversations and it is GOOD! But then we part ways and as the days pass I may have occasion to cross paths with these same people, especially if they are family members, and low and behold they do not appear to be the same person that I had that previous conversation with. These people do not recharge me!! quite the contrary they try and bring me down!  They talk about other people, they make harsh judgments and have gossipy attitudes OR they are full of sorrow over some situation OR they want to only talk about how bad their knees hurt or how bad their kids are behaving or how bad their husband is behaving!! LOL  You get the picture!

It is in these times when I meet them that I find myself wondering…do you really want to be surrounded by love? I think we are what we think about and when I see them going on and on about all this drama and bad attitude stuff I find it hard to believe they truly want to be full of love. I cannot even imagine they would recognize love at that moment if it hit them upside the head. As a matter of fact I know this is true! When I hear people saying these things I try and stear them away from the bad feelings, try to lead them somewhere full of joy and love and they DO NOT want to come with me! They fight me and may even get mad at me for having a better attitude.

I am of the school of thought that we all have a choice, we have free will. It is our choice to be happy and full of love and joy or NOT. I know at times we are not going to be able to find it or it may be fleeting, such as my bliss is……at times it is just harder to stay in the light.

BUT there is such a difference in people when they live their lives even 75% of the time in a state of happiness, selflessness and pure JOY, thinking of others and feeling complete.

I think if we all get up in the morning and say thank you to God for the fact that we got up and are breathing it would make a difference in every one’s day. I mean…what could it hurt?  Is it possible that if we practiced this little ritual that in time we would change the world? It may seem a very simplistic thing to do in order to have such a major effect on the world around us,  but I do believe attitude is everything! We are what we think about.  We really are.

What do you think?

National Day of Prayer is really messing with my BLISS!

April 23rd, 2010 Christine Posted in Christine's Journey, Find YOUR Bliss No Comments »

nationaldayofprayerI am not going to say much here….on this subject. But may I say that this is messing with my Bliss? I do not watch the news…hey if I did my bliss would be a lot harder to find or keep once found ! So, I do not watch the news  but I do look at my Yahoo page and if I see something interesting I will investigate. I understand being concerned about the government telling us we cannot pray….but I see no evidence that that has happened.

I am just wondering why people insist on exaggerating facts…does it make them feel better? I highly doubt it.  I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I think…NO…I will use my intuitive gifts today and say I am pretty dang sure that these people are not feeling better and are surely not finding their BLISS by doing this.

I love you! I love you! I love you!

Constant JOY!

April 22nd, 2010 Christine Posted in Christine's Journey, Find YOUR Bliss No Comments »

Bliss!! Ahhhhh! I have been searching for my bliss for a couple of years now and just realized something….
it was there all the time! Right in front of my face for me to have whenever I wanted. I was searching so hard I could not see it.
Lorraine ( a friend of mine on Facebook) said it well today on her status! She said ” No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” ahhhhhhhhhhh…I have known this for a long time but yet, I could not see my BLISS.

I have my bliss, it is right here with me at all times! Do YOU see it? It is MY choice to see it or not. I can have my bliss and feel constant JOY…

It can be hard at times…but then I try and remember…it is my choice!
Constant JOY is so much better than anything else this world has to offer!

Excuse me while I go enjoy some more….constant JOY :-) Blessings!

Powerful Intentions!

April 17th, 2010 Christine Posted in Christine's Journey, Find YOUR Bliss No Comments »

RELAX! I cannot say enough….RELAX!  You need to learn to relax and stop worrying. Pray to God and ask Him to help you to relax.  Ask the angels…..ask Divine….I cannot stress how important it is too relax.  Your intentions really do help to create your reality!

Think about it, if you wake up and upon rising you stub your toe…more than likely you will then have a day that follows with toothpaste on your shirt, coffee spilled and traffic all the way to work!  True? Sound familiar? I know it does for me. ( Do you believe in the Law of Attraction?)

What I have learned is that if I can take a step back after the toe gets stubbed, take a deep breath and get an attitude adjustment, then things will get better! I will not only get my coffee and it stays in my cup but I will have a very easy and stress free drive to my destination that day!

But let’s take it a step further, I say when you wake up…DO NOT wait for the stubbed toe!! When you open your eyes in the morning before that BIG TOE hits the floor :-) say a prayer of thankfullness, hold a thought of gratitude! Pray a prayer of  good intentions for the day, not only for you but first and foremost for others!

So you skeptics…..let me ask you this. “What is the worst that can happen if you follow this philosophy?” ummmmm you “feel” good?!  You start the day with an attitude of gratitude and feel good?  Doesnt sound too bad to me or much of a sacrifice!

I pray YOU go out and have a well intentioned day!

Have YOU XOWiiddddddd today?!

February 16th, 2010 Christine Posted in Christine's Journey No Comments »

Have you had your XOWii today?

What is a XOWii you ask?  Well….what most of you know, from following my blogs, is that I have been in search of a home business that really  works…for me! I have found it!

Yes..it is called XOWii ! and I love it. I love the product yes, but better yet I love the company. I love the opportunity.  We all know energy drinks are pretty popular and a HEALTHY energy drink is even better! and yes this company makes a healthy energy drink….BUT I am in love with XOWii THIN!  Love  it!  It is an all natural appetite suppressant and I love it.

I am only speaking of my own experience here and I am making no medical claims, but I would like to say that I have lost 12.4 pounds!!  YAY!  That is all I am going to say about the product.  What I would like to talk about is the business……or better yet…what I would like to talk about, very briefly…is HOME BASED BUSINESSES!

What do YOU think about home based business? I can tell you what I have thought about home based business in the last 14 years while I chased the dream……..I feel like home based businesses are  like a Unicorn…I had heard about it but had never seen one!  LOL   How about you? Is that what you think about home based businesses?  Do you feel like you hear alot about it but have never really seen anyone that does it…successfully?

I felt that way but I no longer do. Why is that you ask?  Because I have been introduced to a company that actually wants their distributors to run their business like they are trying to achieve a real home based business…ya know work less make more. Spend time with your family.QUALITY TIME.

I think what we are all used to hearing and seeing is that people who work network marketing seem to work many,many hours and may not really get anywhere OR they do have success but never see their family.  That is old school and this company is all about new school stuff! New tools…new tips….new perspective!  Not to mention great products.

If you want to learn more about this and join our team, just hit reply! Send me a comment. I will get you all the info you need. If you just want to chat a bit about it, we can do that too!  One thing about this business that I like better than anything else is that it has given me the opportunity to help others…not just say I want to help others but really do so!

Here is to OUR success!

Blessings!
