Spotted Zebras Living Out side your Stripes

Hello Spotted Zebras, individuals who desire to live outside their stripes and comfort zones,


This is it I am truly finding my blog voice!!!!

The day I was to start blogging my temp was well over 102 so I thought best to wait till my brain was not on boil. :)

I have just spent the last week pretty much horizontal due to a nasty viral flu(avoid at all cost!) It is 5 or 6 days of 102 temp and achy body, that is it as far as symptons, but beleive me when I tell you that is enough symptoms.

At first I found myself fully resisting it, being annoyed to no end, I have too much to do, lots on my list, this is the week with no children home, so I can work long hours, eat when I want and eat what I want, total freedom!!!!

God/Universe you have got to be kidding???!!!!

I get the purely horizontal flu for the entire time I am home alone, this is an awful JOKE!!!

Then on the second day I had an epiphany I could spend the week resenting this or relishing the way things are, just embrace laying around, reading, working on my laptop in bed, slowly moving, just really being with out a schedule. So I started a thankful list of what am I thankful right now in my NOW so I could shift my energy even more to the light side of life!!!

No cold sores (don’t know about you all but it stinks when you’ve been sick for a week and then you go back out in the public and you have this growth on your lip screaming to every one you see Hey she was really sick) I hate that.
I could drink and eat with out complications if you get my drift.
No Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer look from blowing my nose for a week.
I could still work just not as intense, I even closed two deals. NICE
I felt at peace and calm, which before years ago if this happened I would have been panicked about the how and the deadlines and bla bla bla…..
Then I listed every person I could think of that I care about in my life and that felt great!!

So Then what did I do I just seriously let go of any expectations, I stayed in the now, did what I felt like, didn’t do anything else, watched TV with out guilt, enjoyed frozen yogurt a caring person dropped off for me, and just practiced being. It was liberating!!!

I can honestly say I am now very thankful for being down with the horizontal flu!!!
Life is truly what you see it as…………………….

Where can you shift your focus to find effortless beingness in your life???

WOW!

Wow lots of ideas...

My life is at a stand still.... What can I do to create a desire to live my dreams and goals passionately...

God Only Really Knows= GORK

My trust is in God (the Universe), I know I must be moving for the miracle to happen...

No one will discover me clothed in a cloak of doubt...

rather a Sequined Gown of self confidence that says I can do this; I will succeed in being me and build this life!

Only in the dance of moving towards a goal do I see God (the Universe) answering me.

Only then in a twirl of faith in Gods caring arms will I see it happen.

So I will not... I refuse to accept the wall flower attitude of waiting instead I will stand up and walk towards my partner of life and announce its time to dance for all I am worth.... during this dance I will yield and learn to correctly execute each step...I will succeed at my dance for life!!!

Because I have the God of Life, Love and Abundance... I trust him with all of me!!!

IT

I am running faster and faster some days I get away,

other days IT gets me and holds me tight,
I scream, yell, I am angry.........

until a hug of reassurance,
IT cant take me away,
I fight IT.

With an understanding touch or word, I stop....

Awake again I begin the day
running faster than before.

For awhile I can rest,
IT seems to rest too.

Then because of one trip, one miss, IT's back closer than before.

Will I ever out pace IT?

I am told no
I will someday tire beyond recuperating.

And then I must face IT

Even go towards IT,
Through a door,
into a room with IT.

Experience IT all over again, CRY, YELL, SCREAM with IT.

Until the pain eases and I am surrounded by a light,
a warm light,
an energized light,
a feeling of no fear,
just trust, hope, peace and most of all unconditional LOVE!

IT is not gone
But IT is powerless to cause me to run anymore.

I walk out the door
the LIGHT follows,
encompasses me,
guides me, enlightens me.

IT stays behind.
I walk,
no longer running, running, running,
but living for TODAY
