Cherish Those Little Moments

Tomorrow, like most mornings, will drive my kids to school and it is usually a great way to start the day. We laugh. We talk. We renew our familial bonds. It has become a tradition, if you will. It is a few minutes for us to talk, argue, laugh, or just sit in silence. No matter how we spend those 10 to 15 minutes, we are connecting.

It is a simple little thing for me to drop off my kids on my way to work. It is one of those many little moments that occur in my life that I am learning to be present in. It is one of those little things that I do with my kids that will count in the long run for them and for my self.

Our lives are full of those little moments that just flitter by and will disappear without notice if we are not present in them.

How often, and think real hard on this, have you had one of those moments with someone and you wish that it could have lasted longer? Gone differently? Or worse yet how many of those little moments have you forgotten?

Those precious little moments in our lives are very easily lost in our memories. They can sneek in at some later point in our lives when we least expect it. Just a brief flash of memory that can bring back a flood of emotions and possibly some "what-ifs".

How often have you thought of taking time to do something special for yourself and just let that moment pass you by? Yes, we do have little moments that could be used to better our relationship with our selves as well.

Each one of those little moments can strengthen relationships with those around us. Whether they are with family, friends, ourselves, coworkers or even strangers. A friendly smile, an "I love you", a warm hug, a shared laugh, or any other form of communication during one of those little moments can change someone's day and maybe even their lives.

Take the time today to be aware of those little moments. Being aware of them can change your perspective on how you interact with other people and yourself.

Make the choice to be present and enjoy those little moments that are blessings in themselves.

Blessings and Love,

Fear, Part of The Darkness-Within

Friend, foe, teacher, adviser, companion. Fear is all these and more.

Trust it or hate it, either way Fear will always be a factor in your every day life. It is a part of your make-up. An integral part of the inner workings of the mind, part the Darkness-Within.

Fears that we face daily are innumerable. Fear of failure. Fear of accomplishment. Fear of change. Fear of stagnation. Fear of letting go. Fear of holding on. Fear of loss. Fear of gain. Etc...

We fear and we fear Fear for a myriad of personal reasons, yet Fear will always be with us. Fear is such a constant in our lives that we should learn to live with it, to stop ignoring or shutting it away, and to truly listen to Fear.

Yes,  we need to learn to be with Fear. Be open, honest and present with Fear.

Develop an understanding, if not a friendship with your inner Fear. Get to really know your Fear.

Who is your Fear? Why does your Fear do or say what It/She/He does?

Let me give you a glimpse of who my Fear is.

My Fear is a petulant teenager full of anger and sometimes hate. She doesn't mean to be that angry but She has had a lot of promises broken and She has felt a lot of hurt. She is really just a scared little girl. A little girl that doesn't want to be hurt. A little girl who has a lot of scars.

She can screech like a banshee. She can whisper tearfully. She can beg and whine. She can be loud, obnoxious, and very rude.

She doesn't mean to stop me. She really just wants to warn me. If I don't acknowledge Her, She can and will get louder than my Intuition. She will get louder in order to get attention, just like a teenager will. She just wants to be heard, just like a teenager. She will say very nasty things to get my attention, just like a teenager.
She can learn to trust me as I can learn to trust her. She can learn if I am gentle with Her and acknowledge what She has to say. I have to treat this part of my Darkness-Within as I treat my own children.

I will not stifle Her nor shut Her away. She is the part of me that helps to me stop and analyze the next step I am about to take in my life and why I am doing, saying what I do. She is the reminder that  I should be very aware. That I need to be present in my life.

Learn who your Fear is. Talk to your Fear. Do not fear your Fear any longer.

I can help you find out who your Fear is and why He/She/It does what it does or says.

Are you ready to look into this part of your Darkness-Within? Are you willing to know your Fear?

Blessings and Love,
Andrea Faye

2014: I Claim My Life Purpose!

That is one heck of a bold statement to make!

How can I make such a bold claim?

When I have gifts that I am not utilizing to their fullest extent. I am an empathic and certified intuitive, but I have a tendency to shy away from attention.

When I have been blessed by some beautiful teachers and yet haven't honored their teachings by sharing their knowledge with enough people.

My Life itself has presented me with some of the hardest lessons and blessed me with some of the sweetest gifts.

As a mother, I have experienced the truth of patience and understanding. As a woman, I have found the healing powers of love and inner strength. As a human, I have learned that compassion and forgiveness can change my world.

I have re-discovered my connection to Source and I know that I can help others find and feel that connection.

I know I can help others to heal, forgive, and find their own connection to Source. That Is My Life Purpose!

This is the year that I step out into the open, be present with who I am, and embrace who I am ment to be.

I Claim My Life Purpose!

Are you ready to claim your's?
