Pebbles or mountains?

You don't trip over mountains. It's the small pebble that causes you to stumble....

So, why give the pebble such power over you? Do what you have to do to simply get past it, allowing the door to the next dream in your heart to open.

Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain!

It really is as simple as you let it be. When you trust that the unknown can guide you, you will feel awe or fear of knowing the happiness you withhold from yourself.

Even in darkness you can find the pebbles that haunt you. Pick them up with your small hands and toss them aside, or transform them into something precious by giving them thanks for providing you with their lessons. You know they are your gifts.

Surrender to your dream that was picked for you.

Doing a cleanse of your facebook account: Setting an intention

Do you ever sit back and really wonder about your Facebook account. What is up with all the "Friends" who you really don't know? What about the ones whose News Feeds you enjoy and cannot imagine leaving—are they really called "Friends" or aren't they really someone you look up to or admire in which case you should be in their fan club? Whatever the feeling you have, remember each of these "Friends" can watch everything you do on Facebook. 

Maybe you think that many of them are not paying attention. Probably true. But what about the ones whose names you would never be able to select in a multiple choice question as your friend, yet they post on your Facebook Wall one day that you "have been stalking their page." What?

Looks like there is crazy randomness to these Facebook profile stalker searcher applications. But, once you get hit by one, especially when you know you never searched that person's profile (or even recognize their name), it's easy to feel a little freaked out.

What is Facebook really about for you?

So here are the latest tidbits...

Kate Wilber inspired me to share ideas on this subject.

First make sure you are sitting down with a cup of coffee, tea or other beverage of choice with your favorite ceramic mug before you begin. I believe that you are most productive and inspired when you are surrounded by your favorite things. 

Linking your Work "Employer" on your Facebook personal profile to your Facebook Business Page. From your personal profile, it's easy to set up your list of work engagements, employers, projects, etc. If you also have a Facebook Business Page, I'm sure that you named this page the name of your business. In this case, you will be adding this business name to your Work section on your personal Facebook profile, right?

Synchronicity in your work and life

 Carl G. Jung defines synchronicity as the conceptual relationship of minds, intricately structured in their own logical way which gives rise to that which is not causal in nature. 

I truly believe that life is an expression of a deeper order, and that a person is embedded in this. 

I believe you can dramatically change your life by being more creative in the things you strive for, thinking outside of the box and making firm decisions about what you want out of life.

I help myself, and others realize their greater wholeness and how this can bring them to their happiest and perfect space internally, but also as a reflection on the outside in their lives and business.

What synchronicities are alive in your life today?

So many updates... How do I balance it out?

You sit down at your computer about to do your social media updates and you wonder a few things:

1. Why do some of the people I follow seem to post every 5 seconds every time I'm logged on? I don't even read their articles because I'm so annoyed.
2. Who will actually see what I write? I want to get out there so that I'm not wasting my time.
3. What times of day are most people in my industry most likely to be on social media sites (e.g., Twitter)?
4. I am so proud of my article I wrote recently and get lots of great feedback from others. I want everyone to see it more than once!
5. I don't know what I'm doing here. Maybe I'll copy one of my followers.
6. I have too much to say and don't know how to say it.

Advice: Do a mixture of all of the above. What you are seeing is what social media is all about.

What words describe your chaotic mind today?

What words describe you in this moment?

Feeling like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and need to restart your morning?

Feeling computer savvy yet you have housework to do and feeling your insides jumping out of their skin begging you to exercise?

Feeling like you would love to jump-start your business on all social media sites that you can think of, but chaos in your mind creeps in to tell you that you don't know where to start?

One of my artist social media clients told me this morning:

Sometimes my social media computer brain wants to walk into the woods and spend all day amongst the air and reality of the temporal world... to realign my molecules to focus on pixels and bytes.

The best morning routine: How it can set the stage for your ideal day

image by simeon schatz photography
If you are like me you have a lot of things to balance in your life:

• your work
• your home
• your family
• your cell phone

Of course that is the abbreviated version...

But you do wonder how you will get it all done, not necessarily on time but at all! And, if possible, you wonder how to remain sane in the process. 

I have some good news.There is a way to maintain a balanced life and be at peace... 

Start out your morning routine right.  

Meditation. Meditate to get centered. If a meditation practice is not a part of your life, simply choose a quiet spot in your house and close your eyes. Try to find stillness in your mind. Breath lightly and look inside yourself as if you have a view of a new world.
