Today I am Grateful for my day.
When the alarm goes off this morning I feel tired and I would have been happy to stay in bed a little longer, a lot longer - I stay a little longer. I feel my Athlete Archetype wanting to come on stage. Last night I read about the Athlete Archetype in 'Sacred Contracts' by Caroline Myss - "This Archetype represents the ultimate expression of the strength of the human spirit as represented in the power and magnificence of the human body." I have been Walking rather than Running - and I have enjoyed Walking - and yet I love Running. This morning I felt Inspired to go Running and it felt wonderful to be Running. I only ran for 8 minutes and it was slow - and yet it was just for me. I remember the days when I would be out Training every morning, Running, Racing, Competing, Sprinting - and it was an incredible feeling when I was Racing and it was amazing crossing the finish line and winning Races. And there may come a day when I Race again. And yet for today and for now, I am happy to just Run. I am glad my Athlete Archetype came through for me this morning.
When I reach the Park I am happy to be in Nature. I love being in Nature. In the Park I have a sense of the words "I Am Health, I Am Beauty, I See Beauty". I could stay in Nature all day. I love being in the Park, I love looking out at the ocean, I love watching the seagulls.
On my way to work I am delighted that I see a beautiful Kookaburra - I love Kookaburras. The Kookaburra is sitting in our backyard, peacefully sitting on the wooden outdoor setting. I am running a bit behind time, and yet I love Kookaburras and so I walk up and say hello - not being too close - just close enough for me and enough space for the Kookaburra not to be scared. Seeing Kookaburras brings back wonderful memories for me of when I was a child and would be away with my Family and we would feed the Kookaburras on the balcony. I look up Google Images and yet I cannot find a photo that would capture the picture in my mind's eye. I love having my camera on hand to capture images and yet I very much love just being in the moment to capture the moments in my heart and mind's eye. When I am in the Park, in Nature, spending time with the Kookaburra I feel I am in my Yin Goddess Part of me - my Goddess Part that I have affectionately called Rose.
In 'Sacred Contracts' I read about the Child of Nature Archetype - I find information on this website
- http://www.goddess-guide.com/archetypes.html
"This Goddess Archetype feels most at home in the outside bonding and communicating with the forces of nature. The Child of Nature is often emotionally very sensitive and prefers solace and the company of animals to being with people. They are often independent and physically fit... To have this particular stereotype you need more than a love of nature. Your health and well-being is affected if you are unable to spend time outside working with animals, plants and other nature spirits. Your idea of hell is likely to be working in a busy office in the centre of town."
I love being in Nature. And when I am in Nature, I wish I could stay there all day. When I am at work in the office, I love getting out, at every chance I get - just to be out in the fresh air, enjoy the Trees and Flowers and hear the Birds singing.
I am really enjoying getting to know the Different Parts Of Me and then I love reading about the Archetypes.
Peak Moments In Time for me involved me being in Connection with others. I love being in Connection, enjoying Conversations with others. Today I loved listening with interest to the stories of some of the ladies from work, I really enjoyed sharing a sacred space, just for a few minutes. This weekend at College I have been reminded of the power of listening, attentive silence, reflection - the power of being totally present. I feel that when I am in Connection with others and when I genuinely offer an acknowledgement from my heart, I feel that this is my Gift to Spread The Yellow.
I am happy to receive some beautiful Flowers from my Man - we have been together for 10 months today. My Man is so important to me and I am very important to me - and so I am now Consciously choosing to find the Balance.
I am happy to be in love and there is so much else going on for me. I feel that I am overloaded with so much information and yet there is also so much simplicity - therein lies the paradox. My Mentor and Teacher used this word "paradox" on the weekend and I feel that this word and reality resonates with me. I am joyful and I also have a sense of sadness. There is so much and yet it is so simple.
I feel that there are some big learning opportunities for me. I feel that I carry a lot of heaviness on my shoulders. I feel my Caregiver Archetype is strong and yet the Shadow of the Caregiver is that it wants to take care of everyone. I feel that I sometimes worry about what is not within my control - and yet the opportunity for my growth is to allow others to take responsibility for their own lives and not feel that I have to worry or give advice or even place judgement or step into a Parent shadow.
All of this Self-Reflection can put myself at risk of turning into Overthinking or Analysis - and I really just want to smell the roses and be in Connection. And yet I feel that this work is valuable and helps me be in Connection with me.
Self-Reflection offers me the opportunity to get to know the Different Parts Of Me and how they play out in my life. Through Self-Reflection there is the opportunity for me to Consciously make Choices in my life. I love that I have now made the choice to not put the TV on until after dinner - instead tonight I put on music and enjoyed dancing, I felt my Goddess dancing around the loungeroom and then I enjoyed creating dinner for my Man.
I listen to one of my Shania Twain CDs and I love this song - I feel like I am singing this to my Self "Wanna Get To Know You That Good" - I also love this clip - Shania Twain is a beautiful Goddess -

As I get to know the Different Parts Of Me, I learn to love the Different Parts Of Me. I learn to love that I have all these Strengths and Resources within me.
And I love that I Am A Coach and I love that I can help my Clients discover their Beauty, their Self. This is my greatest desire - to help my Clients Love Self and Love Life...
