The universe continues to unfold in each moment
Let it
You don’t have to control or hold on to anything
Just take time to pause and listen to your inner wisdom
Trust it’s soft voice
Mistakes and challenges have helped you grow into who you are today
Embrace whatever happens, knowing that you will continue to learn and grow
Nothing has gone wrong
Life continues in its highs and lows
Don’t take it personally
We are all in this together
” In the process of letting go you will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself.
It will be a permanent Self, rooted in awareness and creativity.
Once you have captured this you have captured the world.”
~ Deepak Chopra

Life is a journey of letting go in order to discover what really matters. Yet we find ourselves clinging to the past and the very things that bring suffering and hold us back.
Letting go is a part of the natural rhythm of life.
Letting go:
Of every exhalation
Of the day as we fall asleep
Of our children as they grow up and leave home
Of things that no longer serve us
Of a past that weighs us down
Of relationships that no longer nurture us
Of roles that we have outgrown
Of over thinking
Of our habits and conditioning
Of “me” “I” and “mine” as we experience our connection to something more than our little self.
Trust in your ability to let go and embrace it fully with an open mind and heart.
In taking these courageous steps every day we come to know our true permanent Self and move towards real freedom.

This time of year can bring many questions and refections. Here is question to ponder. Enjoy this Middle Ground pause.
oooOooo
At this time of year it’s natural to reflect back and then look forward to what the New Year might bring. Some of us set game plans and goals to accomplish… Others have intentions around our own evolution and inner journey… And some of us like to stay in the present moment.
You know how I enjoy shifting perspectives and seeing things in a new way. Seeing things differently can bring clarity and break us free from conditioning and “stuckedness”.
I came across this question and knew I had to share with you. Go beyond your analytical, practical mind, and open up your intuition. Let your inner guide answer this one.
Imagine your future self gives you a box and says the object symbolises your destiny.
What do you see when you open the box?
Your box is as big as your imagination. It can be as large as a landscape or a small symbol that represents something more. Be open to whatever shows up.
This is what lies ahead for me.
I pictured a rose quartz heart in a simple little box. It represents an open heart; self acceptance; bringing peace and compassion for self and others.
What’s in your destiny box?

There are so many diverse people and approaches to blogging in the WordPress community.
It makes me reflect on what my motivation for blogging has been, and to be curious about how others have experienced blogging. (Please add a comment below if you would like to share here)
I started blogging as a way to express myself and to share my message to more than one coaching client at a time. Back in 2014 and 2015, the posts I wrote were to provide new insights to specific clients and others wanting to see things more clearly or to bring about change in their lives.
It was also a way for me to become known and a platform for sharing what mindfulness, yoga and Finding Your Middle Ground was about.
Here, my passion grew and blossomed as I found community with like minded people around the world. It became an opportunity to educate and inspire others to find contentment and peace in stressful times, and to explore our spiritual journey and awakening.
I never thought of myself as a writer, poet or photographer, but I have discovered these aspects of myself along the way.
Blogging is an evolution … if you stay with it.
If you come to blogging with the intention of promoting yourself, or manipulating others, getting the most “likes; and “follows” then you are giving yourself short shrift. There really is so much more here.
Blogging is about connection, being inspired and nourishing each other, building community and finding like-minded souls.
Some times the connections fade or disappear. Other times a new voice and talent emerges and brings new perspectives, inspiration and joy.
Thank you for being here and making it all possible. You are the inspiration.

Life is Like Paper
It is made by human beings
It is blank to begin with
Over time people leave their marks on it
It captures our stories and beliefs, as well as our creativity and expression
It can be strong, yet pliable
It has many uses and can be moulded
It can transform
It can be recycled
It can disintegrate slowly over time or go up in flames in a moment
When its gone, the stories and memories stay with us.
This morning I woke up and decided I will have a day where I am curious.

People who are curious tend to:
To be curious we must pause in the moment.
No longer skipping and skimming our lives into the future or letting ourselves be stuck in the mud of the past.
To be curious brings us to our Middle Ground and we flourish here. It awakens creativity, gratitude and our inner Presence. It is the gateway to transforming all parts of our lives and awakening our spirit.
Why not join me in seeing how curious you can be today? We might surprise ourselves and each other!
Enjoy this re-post and Middle Ground pause.

“There’s nothing to prove, nothing to figure out, nothing to get, nothing to understand.
When we finally stop explaining to ourselves, we may discover that in silence, complete understanding is already there.”
Steve Hagen
Within nothing is everything
Beyond everything is nothing
When the unknown becomes known there is nothing to know
Let it be found in stillness
