30 Days was enough! :)

OK...this was a test run to see if I had it in me to blog daily...and frankly, I do NOT! I like going with the flow and there have been days in this Deliberate Ingestion Fest when I felt more like cuddling with my son or going for a swim than I felt like blogging...I think once a week is plenty for me...so check out my other blog from here on called Blissful Regardless and keep on choosing consciously!

Much love,
Marcelle

Day 30: Forgive Yourself

I did NOT eat deliberately yesterday...yup, I had an emotional eating day where I consumed every last bit of chocolate I could get my hands on! So then I had a choice....feel guilty about it or forgive myself and choose again, knowing now how much better I feel when I wait to eat when I am in alignment on all levels :)

If you make a choice that does not feel good, you get to choose new thoughts and choose new actions...that is the beauty of the Universe we live in!

As an eternal soul that just changes forms, you can never get it done and never get it wrong because there is no final exam or verdict...EVER!

It is a relief to know that I came here to experience contrast and to make choices that do not feel good sometimes so that I can know what DOES feel good and choose again :)

And today I had a gorgeous breakfast of poached, local organic eggs on top of a pile of locally grown organic tomatoes and some fragrant basil I picked from my patio garden with a sprinkle of sea salt....absolutely Divine! I also had some organic raspberries and blackberries that my son and I picked at a local farm a few days ago and now am off to take a siesta in the sun and sip some live lemonade...ahhhh back in sync with what I believe is best for me and it feels sooooo good!

Days 27-28-29: Appreciating Abundance

This weekend, I let go of preconceived ideas about what we should do or where we should go and expanded my mind to imagine all kinds of abundant possibilities...and we had such a fun time! Things flowed easily from one activity to another...a delicious date night dinner, hysterically funny movie, seriously pleasurable pleasuring session, sleeping long and late, finding treasures at a eco-elephant flea market, savoring juicy berries as we picked them in the sun, munching on delicious treats at a local farmer's market, having a BBQ with good friends, sweating in a fun BellyFusion class, then drinking live lemonade and eating vegan donuts and spinach pie at the farmer's market...then just chilling at home...such rich abundant fullness~! Life is ripe with abundant opportunities for joy and pleasure....what can you appreciate in this moment?

Day 26: Mind Your Own Pie

I was listening to an Abraham-Hicks CD this morning and was reminded to "mind my own pie".

They eloquently explained that when we are in the kitchen of Life, if we focus on the ingredients we do not like that are in the cupboard or on what another has put in their pie, we are through Law of Attraction drawing that into our own pie. If we were to just focus on all the delicious, juicy things we are putting into our own pie and ignore the rest, our experience will be nothing but fabulous!

Today, I will not get into the pie of world politics or negative news....I will not get into my husband's pie by trying to figure out why he is grumpy or how I can help...I will not get involved in conversations that criticize or make fun of another....instead I will connect with my gorgeous back yard full of trees, my sweet cuddly son, and all of the unconditionally loving & joyous animal friends I have....I will focus on all the peace, love, happiness, friends, family and abundance I am blessed with!

Yes, when I mind my own business, my pie is absolutely delicious!

In what ways can you "mind your own pie"? What ingredients are you putting in yours?

Day 25: Being Spontaneous

Today, I went to power up my Blackberry and look at what I had to do today and it did not turn on. I seem to have manifested exactly what my Inner Being was desiring...a break from the business of getting things done and time to just follow my heart and be spontaneous!

So I threw a load of laundry in , cleaned the guinea pig and hamster cages, unloaded the dishwasher, made my son and I breakfast, took a really long hot shower, washed my hair, and laid on my bed in my underwear just breathing and chilling for awhile...then I walked the dog and felt I had accomplished enough....so I mosied down to the computer and looked at and commented on the pics of friends on FaceBook...something I usually do not feel I have the time for. Now I am going to just read and look at a few emails, whatever calls me, and maybe do a bit of random websurfing to find some delicious clothes to wear hooping or some fun items for our home.

I have a hot date tonight with my husband starting at 3:30, so for the rest of the day til then I am going to go with the flow and be completely spontaneous, remembering that there is nothing that I HAVE TO do, only what I WANT to do :)

Day 24: Accepting Messiness

Today I decided to accept the daily messes I find myself cleaning up, sometimes with resentment and often with resistance, and decided to consciously make peace with any "messiness" that popped up in my field of awareness...to just bless it and give thanks for my ability to see it, to imagine it getting cleaned up by someone else or to clean it up only if I was feeling at peace.

Just deciding this made me feel so relaxed and light.

Even when my 8y.o. son spilled a whole bowl of Tings all over our living room floor and I just laughed...it really felt like "no biggie"....and he and his buddy cleaned them all up without my help!

And rather than try to wipe my son's face or comb his hair, I just celebrated his natural messiness and he actually decided to style his own hair with gel and wash up without any prompting!


Yes, miracles happen when we relax and go with the flow!

Day 23: Pleasure Treasure Hunt

Today, I invite you to join my son and I in going on Pleasure Treasure Hunt...as you move through your day, look for any ways you can indulge in pleasure and fun....savor the warm water when you wash the dishes or blow bubbles with a wand in between scrubbing pots...make a game of cleaning the floors or just take lots of little breaks for dancing, singing, or playing in some way.

Look around for beauty wherever you can find it. ...and I guarantee you it will feel sooo good!
