The Wisdom of A Chid ~ What's their secret?
What is it about a child that is so inspiring? They seem to have this special joy that draws you into their magical space. Have you ever wondered where your magical joy flew off to now that you are a responsible adult?
Children are born with a wide-open heart. They carry this inner knowing, and it is wise and joyful. It's so yummy to be around. To be in their presence can feel magical when they are locked on to God and trusting their vibes in all ways.
Have you ever thought about the fact that no one taught these children to act this way? Children are naturally equipped to live their lives from their joy.
Do any of you remember hearing these song lyrics?
"I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down my heart to stay!"
Maybe you learned them in your church growing up as I did. I love this song as it moves me into my happy place every time I sing it!
A Mom So Grateful She Trusted Her Vibes!
"OMG! I am so grateful I trusted my vibes, Tracy!"
"My son almost choked on a stupid internet food challenge, and if I had not trusted my vibes, I would not have been here to help him!"
Sally, a mom whom I have consulted with, had called me this week to thank me for supporting her in learning how to trust her vibes and listen to her gut feelings or intuition. Sally had stood her ground when everything on the surface looked all good.
Our intuition, as I have experienced in my life, is our superpower to navigating our beautiful world. It helps us guide us to amazing shopping bargains as you can read about my experience here. https://www.tracynicholas.com/blog/My#1 Rule for Back to School Shopping
Listening and trusting your intuition in Sally's story definitely supported her in keeping her son safe when he chose to take an action that was not in his best interest.
Sally shared that she, her husband and son were having dinner...
Gifts of Following Your Nose!
Remember hearing the slogan, "Just follow Your Nose, It always knows!" I do and it has been one that I have repeated throughout my life many times. Little did I realized when I was growing up that that popular slogan would be a important part of the foundation of my life and how I have guided my children to navigate our world.
I have always encouraged my kids to listen to their inner guidance system or intuition. We lovingly call it listening to the phone call from God in our home. My children know that they have a direct communication line with God or what some call the all knowing source of our creation.
I was raised in a environment where listening to your intuition or inner guidance was not supported by the structured systems where I was educated. We were encouraged to look outside of ourselves for answers. Thankfully, God was persistent in an effort to get helpful guidance and messages to me in other ways. ...
Cranky Mom to Grateful Mom
Autumn is the time of year that I love to watch the leaves race down the driveway like a group of excited children running to see a new attraction. I feel grateful to live in a part of the world where we get to enjoy four seasons. Each season holds its own unique gifts. Years ago, during the busy fall preparations for the holidays, I found myself becoming frazzled and cranky.
I was not feeling the true holiday spirit, and my acting job did not fool my family one bit. In my heart, I knew it was time for me to make some changes and turn this picture around.
I have so much for which to be grateful; however, I had gotten out of the daily practice. One of the most powerful things I have discovered that I can do for myself is beginning my day listing three things for which I am grateful at the beginning of my day.
The simple yet powerful step of acknowledging what I am grateful can help to shift me from being a cranky mom into a grateful mom who is a much happier...
