Love First and Work

Love First and Work

Anytime we are in the position of asking for something from another person we are
vulnerable. What if they say no? Get mad? What do we do? In Love First and the Artist the audition process is the same as any job interview, by walking in the door filled with love for yourself AND them, you relieve those people of needing to approve of you. If you are a good fit for that job then the answer will be yes, and if you are not, well, why would you want that job anyway?

“Today I will know that my self-esteem is not dependent on anyone but myself and I will ask for what I need with Love.”

Stay Open

Stay Open

This can be hard to do when we have had disappointments in the past. But staying open doesn’t mean being naive or a doormat, if you are practicing Love First, an open heart is a strong heart, grounded in our personal truth and being aware and awake.

“Today I will stay open to opportunities to change and growth, grounded in the Love of Self.”

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Let today be one of appreciation, not sorrow. Let today be one of remembering anyone who has died for the greater good, whether in service to country or humanity.

“Today I will give thanks for those who have paid the ultimate price.”

The Day That Got Away

The Day That Got Away

It happens. Best laid plans, good intentions, commitment. And then Life intervenes and all those plans go out the window. Today was a busy one, more than I had planned. The blog kept getting put off until here it is, 8:40 at night. So this is my blog. We do the best we can and if we can’t always get it done on time, we shouldn’t stop trying.

“Today I know it is never too late to keep my promises, especially to myself.”

The Moment

The Moment

Life is made up of moments. We miss them when we are living in the past or worrying about the future. I have talked about being in the present, so try this, just for one minute.

“Today I will stop wherever I am for one minute and notice the moment, really experience what is happening and know that it will never come again.”

Communication is an art

Communication is an art

I deal with international events around the world and sometimes, even though people say they understand English, clearly, they do not. What is fascinating about this is how even discussions with two native English speakers but from different cultures often misunderstand each other. So keep talking, keep explaining, keep reaching for understanding. The trick is to stay in love and solution, even if it takes several attempts.

“Today I will approach my conversations with patience and love, my goal to connect and understand.”

Me First

Me First

Just to explain the difference between Selfish and self-centered. The love of Self is necessary to have a balanced life. This part of you that is eternal and connected to all energy is pure love so your relationship to YOU is your primary one, from which all other relationships start.

Self-centered is feeling that you are alone, everything happens TO you, that it is you against everyone else and no one understands. This is the isolationism which is the basis of all fear and self-loathing. How can you love yourself if your basic belief is that everyone is out to get you?

“Today I will think about the difference between Self Love and Self-centerdism, and see how I can do better.”

Come Together Right Now

Come Together Right Now

In the face of great adversity we look deep within ourselves to ask, “Are the things I have been worrying or complaining about really important?” This does not mean turning a blind eye to our problems, rather that we put those problems in perspective. Disagreements with others cannot keep us from standing as one when one of us has suffered great loss. We must come together to heal and find solutions, or the challenge we face only wins again.

“Today I will put my problems in perspective and find common ground to heal and Love.”

Hold On

Hold On

Today we woke up to loss and sadness for reasons that are becoming all too frequent. I have said it before and will remind you now, we live in love, we will not hide in fear, we will hold on to hope.

“Today I will see through the veil of tyranny to the Light of Love. We shall hold on to hope and hold on to each other.”

Let Them Go

Let Them Go

When I was a young singer I had the silly idea that everyone should like my voice. If there were 100 people in the room where I was performing and 1 walked out I was completely fixated on why? As I learned to love my creative expression simply because it pleased ME, this changed. I can now let them go and sing for myself and the funny thing is, I now attract more who are in harmony with what I do than ever before.

“Today I will be ME and know that those who are of like mind will find me, the others I will let go with love.”
