Present and Connected

When your soul chakra is aligned with the stars and the moon, you will be directed to your life's purpose. Salt water will brace you through this journey. - CCN  Last year around this time I dove into a journey that opened me up in so many levels, which showed me again, how amazing this life is. Teachers appeared I didn't even know I was looking for and I just went with it, made a commitment to myself to grow and learn from what life may bring at me. Choosing to see things as a gift rather than an obstacle to overcome, I embraced life in its fullest. This shift in consciousness ended the resentment I felt towards my father for years and allowed me to have a relationship based on loving kindness with him. I'm so grateful that through this shift I spent the last months of his life with him in love and acceptance. Which made our relationship after his passing in April this year , not into a future regret, but rather one that has been healed and lead to having closur...

At the end of last month I got a text from my oldest sister "Dad asked me to tell you, he wants to see all his children as soon as possible, because his health is getting worse. He has some things he wanted to discuss." I haven't  seen my dad in a good three, almost four years.

If he wanted to see me, he had to make the effort as I wasn't going to visit him anymore. My dad's health has been getting worse from this year on, his heart condition had gotten worse. One of his heart valves is not working properly anymore and with the bypass he had, the medicine he is taking for it, well let's say, it's not getting any easier for him. The doctors sa...

"Don't judge your insides by other people's outsides." Something Carrie-Anne Moss said in her interview with Lewis Howes in The School of Greatness podcast (another high recommendation!) last year about Living Mindfully. How often do we feel our self-worth diminishing by believing the grass is greener on the bigger lawn? I am trying to be mindful of the fact whenever I feel emotions that diminish my self-worth by comparing myself to others and this powerful quote is a good mantra for that. Also the only person you need to compare yourself to, is the one you were yesterday. Keep on, keeping up💖🙏💕 #livingmindfully #annapurnaliving #fiercegrace #presentandconnected #handwritten #handwriting #thehandwrittenword #rockyourhandwriting #mindfulmusings A post shared by Cheetarah (@present_and_connected) on Aug 5, 2017 at 12:42pm PDT We all know Carrie-Ann Moss from her stunning performance of Trinity in the Matrix trilogy .
