Today I am excited to say that I have finally begun writing my book...
And now I feel at a loss for words to describe my hopes, desires, concerns and fears about it all. I have put this off for sooooo long and now I am here doing it. It feels daunting and exciting all at the same time. I hope I never lose this feeling as I progress further down my journey.
As scary as it seems there is an excitement in actually doing it. Procrastination is a terrible companion to visited by and I have seen more of it than I care to. I think it may still pay me a visit but I hope I can stay focused on how excited I feel rather than worrying over what others think about what I am doing.
So I bravely go to begin writing as openly as I can without censoring those things I feel inspired to write because of the concern of what others think about me. It seems daunting but only if I put more value in what other people think above what my heart is compelled to share.
This has been a long held dream of mine and I am grateful for the opportunity to do it. I know it has only taken me so long because I cared too much of my perception of the thoughts of others, which may not even have been accurate. Who am I to say how anyone would think? The fact is, I don't know what people will think; I can only presume which is based off of way too many what if's and not enough what is.
I hope for you that you to may let go of worrying over what others think, grasp your dream and go for it. Good luck.
Maybe I'm not at a loss for words after all. Stay tuned, I'm sure I'll share snippets of what I am writing. You know, kill two birds with one stone. Wish me luck.

Attitude of Gratitude
Today I am grateful for my seventeen year old not doing her chores. I would definitely prefer that she do her chores. And even though she hasn't done them, it is a sign that she is still at home. The years have gone by much too quickly and I fear if I blink to long she will be all grown up and moved out.
There isn't much more time that I have the privilege of having her young and at home. I want to make the most of the time I have left with my little girl before she is all grown up and moving onto a life of her own. It will be a new aspect to our relationship but I want to enjoy what I have now before it passes.

Sleepy Head
Lately I have had great difficulty getting myself to bed at a reasonable time so I can rest. I know that I am tired and I want to sleep but for one reason or another I find myself going to bed late night after night. Tonight is no exception. Although by the time I finish this and publish it, it will probably be morning.
Why do I do this to myself? More often than not I would say I have no idea but that's just blowing smoke. I know good and well I do it. I don't want to go to bed. It's not that I want to make myself tired on purpose, it's just that I want time to myself to do the things I want to do and it seems that late at night is a time I can do it.
Another thing is it seems the more I try to convince myself to get to bed, the more rebellious I become and the later I stay up. Needless to say this method isn't working for me. And this isn't the only situation in which one part of me is trying to accomplish something while the other part is being a full on brat about things.
And guess what, this is perfectly normal. As normal as it may be, it stinks and can really put a kink in the system of whatever it is you are trying to do.
The clock just changed to midnight, so it's official. I am up later than I wanted to be again. So as you can see, trying to accomplish some things we want by forcing ourselves to do things is not always the best plan of action. Giving ourselves a choice by asking the right questions may be the better plan. Not to mention a reward system.
So instead of planning to try and make myself go to bed I am going to try a new approach. I am going to start asking myself a question, "What do I want more, to stay up or to wake up with energy for my day?" Perhaps presenting it to myself as a choice where I can choose the desired outcome will provide the motivation to choose the change I have been avoiding and in turn reaping the fatigue and sheer exhaustion of that choice. I am also going to give myself a reward for going to bed at an earlier time.
No one wants to feel like a caged animal, especially human beings. And that's exactly how we feel when we feel we do not have a choice. Often our biological response is fight or flight. Having a choice is true freedom. It is in being free that we are willing to stay and see a thing through to the end.
Whatever you're struggling with that you haven't been able to move past or change, maybe it's time to find a new approach. Find a way to enlarge the parameters, expand the perspective or create a larger content to view the issue from. Maybe as you do this, you will find the solution starring you in the face. Good luck.
I'll keep you posted on my adventures in sleeping.

Today I am grateful for being up even when I am tired. I may feel tired but if I am awake it means that I have been given another day to live and make of it what I will.

The fear of being told "No"
There have been many times in my life when I didn't ask for what I wanted because I was worried someone was going to tell me "No". I can look back over my life and see the many missed opportunities and disappointments because of worrying over this. This summer I had a big aha moment regarding this irrational fear.
I say irrational because it is. It's irrational because we are so worried over someone telling us "No" that we do not bother asking for what we want. But in the very act of not asking, you are giving yourself an automatic and resounding "No".
You can't be living more in the land of "No" than when you don't ask for what you want. Not asking for what you want is a 100% guaranteed "No, Nada, Zilch, Zero, and quite frankly it ain't happening." It's a no with a capital N O followed by several exclamation points: NO!!! When we don't ask for what we want; it isn't another person telling us No, we are telling ourselves No.
When we don't ask for what we want we are not even giving the other person the choice to tell us yes or no. We are making the decision for them. And we are then conveniently laying the blame at their feet saying, "They were going to say no anyway." When we do this we are not accepting responsibility for ourselves and we are blaming someone else who isn't being given a choice in the matter.
We say we didn't ask because we are scared someone will say "No". I think the opposite is true. Since not asking is a guaranteed no, then asking means there is a possibility someone will say yes. One of my favorite phrases is, "You never know unless you ask." The truth is you do know. You may not know of a guaranteed yes but there are things we know for certain. Not asking is a sure NO. Asking opens the door to a possible Yes.
You see, most of us build our lives on shaky half truths or bold face lies. We tell ourselves all the time what we can't do and who we are not, all the while we hide from who we really are. Marianne Williamson says, "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." Not asking for what we want and not getting what we want reinforces the carefully built story we tell ourselves. The story about not being beautiful or talented. Not being strong, smart or brave. But it especially it reinforces the stories about no one loving or caring about us, not being special, or important.
If you were to start asking for what you want and begin being told yes so you get what you want; it would begin to unravel these carefully constructed stories. You would be faced with the truth of the magnificent amazing being that you are. In the face of the success that arrives from putting yourself out there and asking for what you want, you would see the love and concern on your behalf, the importance you have in the world and how much you matter to your sphere of influence.
Again as Marianne Williamson says, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." The truth is, none of us are afraid of being told no. We do this to ourselves on a regular basis every time we don't ask for what we want. We've become quite adept at telling ourselves no. Our real fear is of being told yes and having to face the fact that as Marianne Williamson says, "We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone."
If the glory of God resides within you, then in all honesty, there are no limits to the possibilities for you.

Attitude of Gratitude
Today I am grateful for my business. Whatever failures or successes I think I am having doesn't matter because either way I am working and doing what I love.
If you are not doing what you love, maybe it's time to re-evaluate what you are doing.

At mistyroses healing, I offer holistic healing and coaching services customized to each client. This is done to help them to overcome obstacles and walls that are many times subconsciously placed in their path by themselves. I do this by performing several techniques such as intuitive readings, chakra clearings, visualizations, and energy healing to name a few.
Just as each client is unique, each session is customized to the client to maximize the benefit to them in the time allotted. Coaching can help provide clarity of perspective in your life experiences. It can also help to bring healing and peace to your heart, mind and soul.
Mistyroses healing was created out of my desire to provide sacred experiences that help people to bring their spiritual and physical selves together in balance. I want to help people live a more complete and fulfilled life. My mission is to help people remember who they are and their relationship with God so they can heal and feel the love they deserve. It is my hope that they will be able to move forward and do the things that allow them to be a gift to the world. It is in being the gift we are and letting our lights shine that we can create our dreams and obtain the goals we desire for ourselves.

Today I am grateful for my children. Growing up, I always wanted to be a mother. Because of my children I have been given what I wanted for so long.
