Stairway to Heaven

This week, I spoke at a local high school's
'Career day.'  I talked about my work in Holistic Pyschology and Writing.  During the question/answer time, a young girl, who was in a wheelchair, with some obvious physical disabilities, raised her hand and inquired if she could use a stamp to sign her name? I was a little confused about her question, so, she rephrased it.  She said, "You know, when I am at a 'Meet and Greet,' is it ok for me to use a stamp to sign my signature?
Then, I realized what she was asking me.  This beautiful, young lady with more challenges to face than the average person, much less teenager, was a writer and she wanted to know if she could sign her name with a stamp because it was very difficult for her to write with her disabilities.  After I collected myself from the impact of her statement, I told her that WHEN she has a book-signing, she can do whatever she wants!
You are responsible for everything that happens in your life. What you think creates the actions that you will carry out. This young lady ought to be an inspiration to all of us.  Despite her obvious handicaps, she doesn't allow them to hold her back.  She has a dream of writing and I bet one day, she will need that stamp!  There is no reason, excuse or obligation that is more important than living your dreams.  So, it is time to put aside your fear and take the first step towards the rest of your life. I recommend climbing the stairs and seeing what's up there, instead of standing on the threshhold and only peering through the branches of stagnation. 

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Believe and the impossible becomes possible." tc

Who are you?

Has anyone ever asked you the question, "Who are You?"  Have you ever really thought about who you are?  Many of us associate our identity by the roles that we play in life. I am a mother, a friend, the second child of four, a healer, an explorer, a teacher, a fisherman, a skier, a partner and the list goes on. 
But, what happens to my identity when things change in my life?  Who am I when: the kids leave home, I change jobs, enter or exit relationships, cancel memebership to a group or organization, stop fishing or are no longer in a position to share my knowledge? Am I only the role I play in life or am I more than that?  The truth is, I am so much more than that and so are you! We are born full of potential. We have many guides along our journey but what we do with our life, nurtures our own unique self-discovery. Each role that we participate in teaches us lessons, helps us grow and enables us to explore the dynamic being that we are. Who you are is not limited by the boundaries of your present situation. You are a light of the creator, illuminated in this space, in order to break-free and forge a new frontier in the sphere of endless time.   

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"You are a Divine Light of God, a Spirit on the wind, able to perform in many roles yet, bound by none of them." tc
