What was the high point of your week? Did your actions this week create a ripple in the world? Was it positive?
I had to sit and think about that a bit. It felt like a rough week. Actually, it has been a rough few weeks. I have personally struggled to keep my mood high, and life has the unique ability to pound us harder when we are already vibrating at a lower frequency. I know from many of you that you have been feeling the same thing.
I recognize the need to stay in a place of peace.
Staying balanced and choosing to not allow outside influences to disrupt your balance takes effort and focus in every single moment.
The collective energy of our world is low right now. This is easily seen with a brief walk around my neighborhood. I will often hear couples arguing. Loud disruptive music coming from homes. Distracted people walk their dogs while mesmerized by the screen of their cell phones. In no way are they present in the moment. Always focused downward --- instead of upward.
Watching this everyday makes it easy to view our world as a sad, and very dreary place.
But --- is it --- really
?
If we choose to focus on all the above, it is definitely dark, dreary, and drab with little hope for improvement. The ripple we are creating with this vibration is one that will generate more of the same.
Or --- if we choose to look up!!!!!!!!
These cool brisk mornings and evenings, the sky is beautiful. Even when the sun (
that is that thing that lights up the sky every once in a while…LOL
) is not shining,
if you choose to see it
, the clouds appear almost 3-D and truly beautiful. The trees against the outline of the sky are sharp and 3-D-like. The moon and stars on the darker evenings are stunning and bright. If I choose to look down (
not at the screen of my phone
) Karla is enjoying sniffing something on the ground that she finds totally mesmerizing. Then, a moment later, she will hear a noise (
one that I clearly missed
) and jump to attention to see what is going on. Then back to sniffing those glorious smells again. While I am looking up, my neighbor's sweet dog is looking out the window at me and I can see her body moving with excitement.
How amazing is the world I'm choosing to see?
If I choose to see it and tune out the unwanted noise --- allowing my senses to take over --- that seemingly mundane walk turns into an enjoyable and vibrationally high experience.
What ripple is my positive feeling and gratitude in the moment putting out into this world?
In order for us to live lives of service and goodness it is imperative that we choose to keep our vibrations high. Our vibration is infectious. Both the positive and the negative.
We can choose to raise the collective vibration of our world or choose to lower it with our choices every single moment. The ripple we create --- moment by moment --- is our choice.
Did you ever meet someone who considers themselves to be a philanthropist? Do you think they are highly vibrational people creating amazing ripples in the world?
It is possible they are.
The intention behind the gesture is what causes the positive ripple. Our actions should not be determined by the accolades or attention we will receive.
Our heart needs to be in the right place. The size of the ripple does not depend on the size of the action --- but rather the size of the heart behind it.
Feed your soul --- not your ego.
Our destiny in life should be to feed our soul. To grow as spiritual beings. To return to our source better for the experience we have lived here on earth, and to have left the earth a better place. Not for the rewards we received or the trophies hanging on our wall. Our growth comes at the times we have managed through difficult moments to remain in light and love and still continue to reach out and help others. It is the insignificant moments where you choose to step out of yourself, raise your vibration, and continue to offer love.
This week we lost a dear member of our community.
One many of you know, and many of you love.
Even if you disagreed with his policies,
his heart was in serving.
He served unselfishly.
When he returned to his source, his maker, I am sure the little moments,
of which there are so many
, his devotion and love for his family, and his service to the community will be what is remembered. I am positive it was a glorious reunion for him of a
life well led. A life of high vibration, true service to others --- and phenomenal music. Those ripples spread far and wide and will not easily dissipate.
Well done!
RIP my friend! Your devotion and love for your beautiful wife touched my heart deeply. Your legacy will be your devotion to others, your true service to others, your unselfishness, and the love you shared with many!
Oh…and that music!
Godspeed!
In honor of a truly inspirational man raise your vibration this week. Live in love. Look up. Smile. Spend time in nature.
Create a ripple --- and serve!
