One Step At A Time

"One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time." John Wanamaker

Life can be as simple as we want it to be. When we're faced with challenges then taking it all in our stride, one step at a time, is all we need to know to support ourselves on our life purpose.

Whenever I feel stuck I ask myself "what is the right next step for me". Sometimes I am clear in my head and heart and so the question gets answered. Other times I just allow it (the it being my desire to help myself move forward positively) to unfold and then I can once again feel at peace and live fully in the moment.

"You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Be Realistic (not)!

"One of the saddest lines in the world is, 'Oh come now - be realistic.' The best parts of this world were not fashioned by those who were realistic. They were fashioned by those who dared to look hard at their wishes and gave them horses to ride." Richard Nelson Bolles

It's Dream Living month and what better way to celebrate than to focus on your wishes and put breath into them. Stand tall, take a deep breath and give your heart over to your dreams and wishes, allow them to take off, see, feel, hear them speak to you. Soar as you sense all the excitement of joy coming into being.

Happy Dream Living May!

Warmest wishes,
Zoë

Wonderment!

Just had to share the wonderment I experienced today, this being my Wonder Walking day!

As I walked up a steep hill I had this view at the top (see picture below) and loved how my hard work was rewarded. This hill is a great analogy for life: we may feel like we're on a bit of a trek but we always have the possibility of being surprised afterwards with something wonderful!

Here's the low-down on this super juicy morning:

• The wonderment of watching lots of squirrels dancing around a tree as they scampered about the woods.
• Seeing the most amazing variety of Broom, usually just a bright yellow, but I came across a bush with pink/yellow flowers - reminded me of rhubard & custard sweets! Another one had bloom the colour of burnt orange/red and yellow - stunning!
• Waterfalls with lush green vegetation contrasting with the dark dampness of the rocks and moss.
• Then being adventurous and going under an old stone bridge with the shallow stream running through (normally never seen as I walk over this well hidden secret only hearing the noise of the water from above).
• Proud orange poppies with an envious view.
• Beautiful noisy birdsong!
• Blowing the seeds from Clock Flowers and Dream Living as I did so! (see picture below).

And to top it all off, as I turned a corner before finally joining the hubbub of a busy road I was greeted by a mighty spread of wild roses - the scent was gorgeous (see picture below).

This and more was just waiting to be experienced.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

I explored, I dreamed, I discovered - woo hoo!

Warmest wishes,
Zoë

Remember Who You Are

"Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing -- turn out your toes as you walk -- and remember who you are!" the Red Queen - Allice in Wonderland

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

You are a being of light that mirrors all.

You are a being of possibility. This is the space where you truly belong; it is your purpose and where you come from. In moments of insight and enlightenment you are alive and your energy is vibrating at a much higher frequency.

You are the butterfly’s wing, making small movements with the wisdom to change the world for the better, just by being this positive frequency.

It is awesome to be the unique amazing you that you are, to speak, feel and hear your own greatness as well as experience the greatness of others.

Choose your journey and live with ultimate passion – for you are whole, complete and always enough.

You are love, laughter and a magnificent energy. Shine your light; remember who you are! (©Zoë Mansbridge, 2011)

Seasons!

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.” Henry David Thoreau

Have you been soaking up the seasonal changes? Each year there is one particular tree in our garden that I focus on to guide me through the seasons. It helps me upgrade my energy when I notice what subtle changes are taking place in nature. I can then pick up on the seasonal shifts and use these changes to help me change things for the better, for example, in my environment, the food I eat, even how I energise myself through exercise.

Recently I noticed a lilac tree and as I was passing I enjoyed the gorgeous scent, savouring the moment. As I'm often saying I pay attention to the detail of life, in particular moments like this where I'm lost in the now, which in turn gives me peace and joy.

Wishing you a happy energizing seasonal kind of day!

Warmest wishes,
Zoë
