I’m human, just like all of us, and sometimes I jump into my mistrustful mode and think that I have to take charge and be in control of everything. The Universe waits in smiling repose until I get over it. Gratitude quickly brings me back.– Louise Hay
I often wondered what happens when I am in those moods where I don’t feel in control, I feel like I’m not doing enough to ‘advance’ towards my destiny…
When Doubt Sets In February 24, 2007

As positive as I am in my life and sure of the direction I want it to take, doubt sets in once in a while. It’s like a cycle. The last time doubt crept up I surrounded myself with uplifting music and images. I made myself playlists of great motivating songs (some inspired by my friend Trish — thanks), like Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, Love Will Save The Day by David Usher, World by Five for Fighting, and many more. The right kind of music helps me find my confidence again and makes doubt smaller. I also admire my vision board I did after watching The Secret.
There is something different this time. I am doubting what I represented on my vision board. Well not all of it, just the most life changing part.
Is that REALLY what I want? Now more importantly, am I asking myself this question because I am really not sure or because I am resisting? That’s the first question I need to answer. ‘Cause if it’s resistance, then I will give it the boot right out the door and never think about it ever again. I will meditate on that for a while.
Maybe I am just too hard on myself and I am stressing myself out for something that’s not even happened yet. My Guide keeps telling me to trust. My wish for my future is mostly about what I want to feel and not what I want to do — although I did assume I knew what the path to the feeling would be. Benjamin will help me get to the feeling I am sure, whether or not I was completely off track. I need to get out of my head and just go with the flow. It’s so easy to get carried away once the thoughts come racing in. Just like in this post right now…
On a completely different note, it’s my son’s birthday this Wednesday — he’ll be 6. It’s also the anniversary of my ‘opening up’. The birth of my son triggered the whole thing — I am extremely grateful. Merci mon ange d’amour.
Green Lavender = Santolina Rosmarinifolia February 14, 2007

‘Green Lavender Cotton’, or ‘Santalina rosmarinifolia’, is a high endurance, low water usage ground covering plant. ‘Rosmarinifolia’ means ‘with Rosemary leaves’, its leaves are very aromatic.
It grows best in full sun, only requires water every couple of weeks, although it does require good drainage, and it’s easy maintenance – metaphorically like me.
