Today's Motto: Be Happy!!!

The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now!! Be here, be happy, NOW!!! :)

Even in your darkest hour, the light is still shining on you. Have faith that no matter how bad things seem, and no matter for how long things seem bad, that there is always good present with it if you look hard enough. Peace is every step. Drop by drop the jug is filled. Don't let your problems overwhelm you. Face them one at a time, step by step. Remember that YOU control how happy you are, and if others put you down or lose belief in you, you are a child of God, the Spirit, and you are always loved. Don't worry... be happy :) 

Today is About Growth

Today is about growth. Personal, spiritual, growth. I need to focus on myself, seeing every moment as a moment to grow consciously with love, wisdom, and light. It is okay to be me. It is okay to feel the things I feel, to do the things I do, to be who I am at this very moment. It's okay. I am a human, I am a spirit. I am not perfect, I am not static. I change from moment to moment, and my only hope is that with each change that comes, I grow and learn more about myself, and I learn to love myself and every part of the universe.

We are all more connected than we realize. From the clerk at the grocery store, to the homeless man on the street, from Obama to Osama, from Mother Teresa to Hitler, we are all connected. From horsefly to elephant, from mineral to planet, we are all connected. I'm going to quote Pocahontas today, from the Disney movie, hehe. She makes some good points though. Let's learn to love and grow and connect, with every single moment we can. 

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
 

Carpe Diem!!!

Find peace today everyone :)

Eckhart Tolle and Mispelled Words

Eckhart Tolle

Waiting is a state of mind, the usual state of mind. Presence is when you're no longer waiting for the next moment, believing that the next moment will be more fulfilling than this one.


BRILLIANT man, Eckhart Tolle. He wrote two amazing books, "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth"
I haven't finished reading either of them, but what he has to say so far, is transforming and beautiful. He has opened up so many people's minds over here in the Western World, and it's spiritual teachers like him that are coming out and helping to transform this New Age. 

He reminds us of yin and yang, the tao, duality. You cannot have your beautiful, your gentle, your loving, your happiness, without your ugly, your aggressive, your hatred, your sadness. And you could sum it all up in terms of Light  or Dark, Love or Fear. So, don't live your life waiting all the time for the perfect moment to come along. They are all perfect moments. I saw the best bumper sticker today; it said "Relax, God is handling things."


Remember to relax, let go, and let God!!! :)

On another note, I have been writing in the spiritual forums on the worldwideweb recently. I discovered this site just last week, and I've talked to some really wonderful, light-filled, hearts. I'm glad I found this place, because I don't have many people in my life that take the same view points on life and the spiritual world. The funny thing I have noticed, however, writing on this blog and writing in the forums, has made me remember my grammar. I've always been very great at spelling and sort of a perfectionist when it comes to using the write "two, to, too," you get the idea. But I have noticed when I start to write spiritually, and I let my heart guide the words I type, I don't pay attention to spelling as much. A couple times I wrote hear when I should have wrote here. I think this is because words are just words. They have no real concept of what the heart and love really is. And when we become more in tune with the spirit. Words don't seem to matter as much. Silence can be so alive and sound so beautiful, words would never be able to explain it. The spirit is exactly the same. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday. Sending you all my love and light. May the sunshine be bright when you wake in the morning!! Namaste :)

Smile! Everything is the Way it Should Be :)

I really love cats.... and Buddha :)

I just thought this was something that would make everyone smile! It always makes me smile. 

Today I am pondering a lot about peace in the world, rather, the lack thereof. So many disturbances in the universe lately, has me uneasy. I'm trying my hardest to stay positive and open to the light, but it feels like I've been going on and on forever, and I'm growing impatient!

I really believe that after Ascension, whether I am able to reach the higher dimensions or not, there will be less television sets and more peace :) What a wonderful world that will be to experience! Today I am really trying to focus on taking every step with a breath of peace, focusing my mind on the center core, and letting go of any negative thoughts that continue to perplex my brain. I'm trying not to cling to tightly to my spirituality either, though, because I think when I get too wrapped up in it, it becomes no better than negativity. Clinging is clinging, which will always lead to suffering, no way out of that one! hehe. 

Despite these hard times, I know in my heart that NOTHING is lacking at this moment. In the here and now, this present moment is a wonderful moment :)

Ice Cream Makes Everything Better :)

A Happy Picture from my Happy Friendly Book!!

Notice the repetition of, Love some more. Love is all you need!!

This to-do list is full of things that will light up and warm your soul. 

Make your own "real" to do list, and follow it!

Include those passions of yours that make you feel truly at peace, such as taking a walk or going for a run, eating ice cream, dancing, painting, etc... But make sure you save room on that to-list to laugh, notice kindness (and be kind yourself), and most of all,  LOVE.

Namaste

The Trick is to Surrender to the Flow

My first post to this wonderful blog I am creating will help you get an idea of the inspiration to my name and title, surrender to the flow. The name comes from an amazing song by Phish, called Lizards. This song is also the inspiration for the title of my spiritual book called The Happy Friendly Book, in the song they mention The Helping Friendly Book. I made this book by composing a great number of spiritual and peace filled quotes with and pictures of many of the great spiritual teaches, Jesus, Buddha, Mother Teresa, Gandhi, etc...

Since I don't have the finances right now to print even one copy of this great compilation, I decided to create this blog to share the pieces of this book, and continue adding to it, so it is everlasting and full of not just my favorite spiritual quotes, but full of my spiritual thoughts and crazy randomness that makes me human :)

Please enjoy your stay here, and let the love and light shine through for you in the way that is right in your heart.
Namaste
