“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” ~Mother Teresa
Today’s inspiration was inspired by Alex Blackwell’s reponse to my post What Was Your word for 2010 which was the first daily question for reverb2010 that Gwen Bell established to reflect on 2010 ans manifest for 2011.

be the change
Sometimes………………..
Sometimes, we jump to conclusions and make assumptions of another person
Sometimes, we have pre-conceived ideas and we judge another person – perhaps their past has been different than yours, race, religion, colour, sexual orientation, and upbringing
Sometimes, those assumptions can break hearts – theirs and yours
Sometimes, we say things out of guilt, or a false sense of self protection – not realizing at the time that it is a false protection
Sometimes, we push away the one we Love, because we so fear being hurt
Sometimes, instead of trusting our hearts we settle for something we “know” because we fear the “unknown” , and we convince ourselves that this “right”
Sometimes, we say things out of pain, out of hurt, out of trying to save pride, and we blindly strike out. We hurt the one we Love
Sometimes, we say things that we regret, not knowing how to reach out to that person, not knowing how to reverse a decision. Fearing we will be rejected, not realizing this is a false fear
Sometimes, we must “listen” to another’s heart, another’s mind – the truth (not our assumptions or pre-conceived thought or judgment)
Sometimes, speaking our “pre-conceived truths” is no more than hiding behind assumptions and justifying pre conceived thoughts.
Sometimes, we need – we must, let go of our pre-conceived ideas, and judgments
Sometimes, those pre-conceived ideas and thoughts (even though learned from past history) now no longer stand true – (and quite likely an error in judgment was made in the past, – if based on assumption)
Sometimes, we are not willing to “see” or “hear” the truth before us, we are fearful because of assumptions and pre conceived thoughts,
Sometimes, we must set our hearts free, our souls free, allow ourselves to feel to the very depths of our hearts to give and receive Love fully and completely
Sometimes, one needs to take a chance, and return home to a place of Love, to NOT live in a place of assumption of being rejected. Please do not assume or conclude an issue. Allow your Loved One to speak, to feel, to show their Love for you. Allow yourself to be open to “hear”
Sometimes, Love IS bigger than assumptions, broken hearts and pre- conceived ideas, thoughts and notions.Written in Peace and Light
And with Love

Healing For Your Heart Mind And BodyI met Dorothy via LinkedIn and was inspired by this poem which Dorothy was happy for me to share here. Share you thought in the comments
I posted this last week at Suzie Cheel and yesterday I resubmitted as I saw that the window to be on the show while Oprah is in Australia was still open and I decided to rewrite my application and make it sexier. I also included links to the video and my dream board as well as to the book on Amazon.
I have included the submission below and my plan now is to tweet this out to raise more awareness of this dream. I would love for you to share this with your friends and fans via twitter, facebook, linkedin etc.
I have a Oprahgeous dream: I am committed to empowering the people I call Change Warriors in Hiding. These are people who have a desire to create change in the world, but are held back by fear and self doubt. I know I have been there.
I’m passionately committed to help others in the words of Mahatma Gandhi “Be The Change” I have a Big, Hairy Audacious Goal, (BHAG) to touch & empower 1 million people, my book http://theemergingsbook.com. I have had Oprah on my Dream Board (http://bit.ly/bkG7sV)for many years.When I heard there was to me no more Oprah Show I nearly took her picture off, seems like the universe has others ideas!
From my experience & what I have seen of others, I believe passionately that it is essential to embrace change if we are to develop or rediscover our self-esteem. Because without self-esteem we can’t be of much use to ourselves or others. With strong self-esteem we can all achieve our most outrageous dreams.
My book Emergings: a meditation on the emotions of change incorporates a poem and watercolour paintings I created 25 years ago at a time of major change in my own life. I had a choice to make and I chose the path less traveled & I left a safe secure teaching job to become a full time artist and I created a successful business from that. Now, all these years later and after many requests by others,
I have self-published the book on Amazon:http://bit.ly/a5ApLo & will soon be available for the ipad, Android etc.I am committing 20% of this project to KIVA and projects that empower others to create change within their communities.f
This will create a small but powerful ongoing ripple effect of change which I believe will lead to positive change in the world. I know that getting a Harpo Help Up would allow me to realise a my outrageous dream, to make a real difference in the world, Thank you.
To keep up dated and get new of The launch of The Emergings Experience at a huge discount on cyber monday make sure you you are a meber of my Facebook fan page- you might win a book:)
Do you have an outrageous dream? Please share with me.
Love and Gratitude
Gratitude to Joel Montes for the image Journal Entry
Where you are at now is okay
Be with what is
Not what might be
Acknowledge the courage and the strength
That took you to this point.
When the whirlwind churns in your mind
Take out your pen and write in me
I’ll help you through the fear, the pain and anguish.
Your thoughts, your dreams
Your hopes and desires
Will be safe with me
And when you find
The light that shines from within
When love and joy and happiness emerge
I’ll be a comfort for reflection
You’ll find the courage that enabled you to take that first step
The strength you need to take the next risk.
