Hi Everyone,

More musing from me….

I was walking Lucky the other day when we walked by a guy who had a book hanging out of his pocket. It jumped out at me. The cover was big bird yellow with bold black letters that read “Resisting Happiness.” I quickly looked up and was surprised to see the guy was probably in his 70s. I thought what a drag it must be to resist happiness after being on the planet for so long. Holy crap….

A few days later I was running errands when not one, but two cars let me into their lane in traffic (unheard of in SoCal). Then as I was approaching Starbucks, the person in front of me held the door open way before I’ve reached it. That triggered the thought of a guy who practically raced me to the door so he could be first in line just days earlier.

On my day off I treated myself to a movie and lunch at one of my favorite resturants. The bartender, a sweet girl in her 20s, overheard me talking to a woman waiting for her take-out biscuits. This gal was going off about these biscuits. I must have started drooling. The bartender bought half a dozen biscuits for me to take to go with my trout dip. I was flabbergasted.

I finally put it all together, a week later. I was at a resturant and I had a “2 for 1” coupon. When I went to pay, she handed the coupon back to me with the 2 for 1 unused. I looked at her like Huh, I just ordered 2 meals? Then she said… “Just let it happen.” Sometimes you hear something and it hits you like a ton of bricks.

BAM… Resisting Happiness is focusing on what isn’t, what hasn’t been and assuming it will probably never be…

BAM… BAM… Just Let It Happen, whatever “it” is. No need for running shoes to chase it down. Focus on how it feels once “it” is here and know there is so much more to be written. Imagine the receiving, the allowing, and trusting that everything I want and need is here or on its way.

BAM… BAM… BAM…  I’m being taken care of and it has been showing up in all sorts of ways. Time to take notice!

I am letting it happen.

I am receiving it as it happens.

I am allowing for more.

Just let it happen!!

In light and with love,

Kindness

#kindness, #magic, #payitforward, #peoplearekind, #theworldiskind

I woke up this morning with the sense that good things are popping up all over the place. I have been making a point of thinking the universe is actually magical and its got surprises lined up for me. There are no outward signs of magic, nothing has overtly changed to bring on this feeling. I’ve just been making a concentrated effort when I open my eyes to think what a great day it’s going to be.

The glint in Morgan Freeman’s eye perfectly captures how I have been feeling.

So today I go to the local healthbar, Jan’s Healthbar @janshealthbar, as I do every day since they opened to get my juice. Well, I dropped $40 bucks on the counter without realizing it and you know what happened… KINDNESS

I was waiting outside with Lucky completely clueless when one of the girls comes out to ask me if I paid with cash. The KIND woman in line saw the money, told the girls, they know I pay with cash most of the time and they gave me my $40 bucks back.

That collective act of kindness inspired me beyond true expression. Today, $40 bucks reminded me that the world is a kind place, people are kind, good things are happening.

In light and with love (and $40 bucks in her pocket)

Matching outfits? Not as cheesy as you think!

#kindness, #matchingoutfits, #truelove, Love

It’s interesting to me how people can make an impression that they have NO clue they made. A few weeks ago Lucky and I were coming back from our morning walk when we ran into our friend Gale. She was sitting on a bench over looking the magnificent Laguna Beach shore line (yes I brag a bit). We decided to sit and chat for awhile.

Soon a couple, I’m assuming was in their 70s, were walking towards us wearing exactly the same outfit. They looked great!!!! Not a cheesy, matchy match ensemble, but rather nice khakis, coordinating plaid shirts and complementing Patagonia fleece vests. I could hear ZZ Top strike a chord…

Being the shy gal I am I stopped them “Excuse me… do you always dress alike?” They said yes. I asked them how it happened and they explained it had started about 13 years ago, a few years after they got together. She had picked out a shirt for him that she liked herself and decided to get one too. It snowballed from there. He said she picks out most of their outfits. She has impeccable taste; his eyes twinkled.

I hadn’t noticed they were holding hands until we said our goodbyes and they walked away. They had such a peaceful stride. I felt a tinge of envy watching the connection between them.

Since then I’ve been thinking about what it takes to create a bond between two people that declares in every moment I am one half of a whole. I know the buzz words – be vulnerable, be open, be willing. Yet I think it takes more. What I saw between that couple was a deep kindness and reverence for each other. I saw two people who cherished one another.

How did they get there? What permissions did they give themselves to be that willing to experience the potential pitfalls – loss, rejection, and a host of others?

Here’s what I came up:

I think age has something to do with it. The idea that time is finite and the more time we have under our matching belts the less time we have ahead.

I think it has to do with being kind. Literally just being a kind person. And if someone isn’t kind to me, I get to be kind to myself regardless.

I think it has to do with being your authentic self – all the nooks and crannies. I’m not talking “this is me, take it or leave it.” I’m talking this is me as a single person and I’m willing to see who I am as I compromise into couplehood.

I think its about being aware of how I show up when my partner isn’t at his/her best. Am I willing to let my partner be fabulously flawed? I guess this part is about forgiveness. Forgiveness, for me, puts the past in the past and doesn’t rehash every flaw. In that respect it’s also about self-love; treating my partner the way I want to be treated when I’m not at my best.

While I couldn’t find a picture of a “matching”
couple that would do this couple justice. I am without a doubt inspired by them, not so much by their outfits, but the story their outfits told me.

Love is all about choice. Every day I get to make that choice.

Have a great week.

In light and with love,
