Family Day is EVERYDAY!

I used to think that family meant those who  a) you were born to b) had the same parents as you c) were your parent's parents d) were your parents siblings, and their children e) your children....  you get the picture.  In my close to half a decade of life I've learned that that absolutely isn't so.  Sometimes those who are 'blood relatives' have very little to do with you and your life (and you possibly prefer it that way.....?).
But then there are those who come into your life, either as friends, strangers, or even through marriage, who can make such a huge impact on your life.  In my case, my aunt and uncle are my 'immediate' family.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  They've been there through thick and thin and have made it to see my life take a wonderful turn around; maybe not perfect, but wonderful just the same.I'll stop there, even though I could write a book on what they've done and been for me.
Then I met my now husband.  Along with his 'amazingness' came his family.  With all that I went through and the backing that I got from them, is to say the least, amazing. I felt like I belonged from the moment I met each and every one of them, and it has stayed that way.  My kids consider them family and I would never try to convince them otherwise.
As we celebrated family day together with my husbands family, I got an overwhelming feeling of love and oneness that I don't believe I've ever experienced.  I'm so very thankful to be a part of that family and will cherish every moment we have together, whether in person, online, on the phone, or otherwise.
Cherish those you love.  Don't wait for Christmas or Family Day to spend time with your family.  Make it a point to be with your family, whoever they may be.  You do NOT have to do anything special.  Just get together for a lovely brunch, go for breakfast on a Sunday morning, or any morning, go camping together.  Just do, and be.  Enjoy being in each others' presence, and make plans for the next get together before you leave.  It does the soul good.

May blessings of abundance in all that comes from truth, goodness, and light, find their way to you! 

What does conscious awareness mean?

Today my 12 year old daughter asked me "What does level of consciousness mean?" I had to stop and think for a bit to figure out how to describe it to her in terms that she could understand. I told her that it means paying attention to pretty much everything you say, and do; to be always aware of your own 'space' - what comes in as well as what you send out. To me, a simple beginners way of defining level of consciousness would be to say its the percentage of truthfulness you live/give. Are you at 10%, 20% 30, 40, 50+ ? She knew what i meant because we are always 'testing' level of consciousness, or truthfulness. When I call her name, she comes up to me and puts her arm out to the side and gives me a big smile. Shes ready, willing, and at my service.

I bet when you think of it in those terms tho, you would automatically know that you are a very honest and truthful person. So of course you are going to rate quite high.... hmmm, think again. According to David R. Hawkins, author of Power Vs Force, the level of consciousness for North America is just barely over 200, or as I have rated it above, 20%. Sad isn't it. And true 'love' doesn't even appear until level 500, or 50% (the level of love). Pretty sad state of affairs when we know we can turn to each other and know we should be able to get a good 20% of truthfulness out of them; but then again, what are they getting out of you?

Of course, there is far, far more to it than that, but that's a start.

I subscribe to Bob Proctors "Insight of the Day" and this came into my email this morning. I was so pleased because I wanted to start my blog with a definition of what Conscious Awareness really is.

"Living consciously involves being genuine; it involves listening and responding to others honestly and openly; it involves being in the moment."

Sidney Poitier
Actor and Author of The Measure of a Man

Lets start on a journey of love. Lets learn together what love really is and what it really means.

I am truly grateful for the gifts in my life, the abundance of love and support that has helped guide me to this point.

May blessings of abundance in all that comes from truth, goodness, and light, find their way to you.
