The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Living in Harmony

I took a couple of days, with my family, to dive into organizing our new way of life; living in harmony!  I know when you think of living in harmony, the first thing a person thinks of is getting along with the other people you are living with!  Don’t get me wrong, we all get along quite well; what I’m referring to is what we all do in our lives, contributes to living in harmony.  The things that bring us more peace in our lives, brings more harmony!

With the World changing, we decided we needed to change along with it.  We are planning to change our entire lifestyle.  Some changes are going to be a bit on the drastic side, while others not so much.  The main thing, is we are making positive changes.

It would be easy to allow a negative cloud to continue to hang over us, during this time in our World, so we decided when given lemons, we are going to do our best to make the best pitcher of lemonade you could possibly taste!  Tasting Harmony!

When in Harmony, it tends to affect all the senses!  You see, taste, touch, hear, and smell so much better when you live your life in harmony.  When living in harmony, you are living a more balanced life.  When I think of harmony, I also think of rhythm!  So when you sway to music, you are balancing back and forth.

It doesn’t take much to create more harmony in your lives; it just takes a dedication to “not let the negative win”.  We are living in a period of, what I call, “the meantime”, and it is what you do with your time, is what matters.  The more positive the better!  The more creative the better!  The more loving the better!  The more kind the better!  The more happy the better!  The more smiles the better!

In planning our future, we set a goal to change our environment to one of complete calm.  Calm in our indoor and outdoor space, calm by becoming more self sustaining, calm in how we recycle more, calm by building or creating everything we need in our homes by using recycled products, calm in growing everything we need for food, calm by knowing we will have an environment to adopt and bring some loving fur babies into our lives again, and a calm in knowing we are doing all of this to help our World.

Living in Harmony became a very large picture for us, it wasn’t about just getting along with others, it was getting along more with our World, our Earth, and our Nature.  We saw how everything in our World “cleared up” since we have all been kept inside.  The pollution left the sky’s, the waters became clearer, the animals were able to roam freely, and the holes in the ozone were repairing itself.  Quite the concept!

What we are doing now, and what we plan to do in the future, will decide what type of World we will continue to live in.  I pick the continued healing of our World, our Earth and our Nature!  I pick the healing of everyone and everything whom call Earth their home!  I pick the healing of our minds, let us all look at our lives as precious; let us look at our lives as Harmony!

I’d like to continue Living in Harmony this way!  Let the Healing continue in our World!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Shopping Online

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve done some online shopping in my life, but for the most part, I’ve been one to go out and do my shopping, especially for food.  However, times are changing and wouldn’t you know it, the online shopping World is now becoming our new daily normal.

I know you’ve heard me say, “book an appointment with yourself”, well at that time, I was referring to booking an appointment with yourself to do some self-wellness activity.  Who would of thought I would be saying, “book an appointment with yourself to do some daily online shopping” – New World!!

I suppose I took for granted that you were already doing at least some online shopping.

I have been researching products, deliveries, costs, and trying to get into a system where our family does not have to leave our home so much.  I’m happy to announce, after 4 solid days of research and organization, our family is now 100% online (delivery) and online (curbside) for every one of our needs.

Feels good to know by doing so, we have created more space in the grocery stores/essential stores for those who do not have access to online shopping I’ve been thinking of those who suffer with emotional and social anxieties who don’t have a choice; it hasn’t been easy for them. The more we do to help the better it is for everyone it isn’t so much about convenience anymore, although it is a huge convenience.  It is about keeping social distancing in mind, keeping anxiety at a snails pace, and keeping everyone in mind.  We are all doing our part to work as a TEAM!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow -A Few Special Friends

I’ve always done this, but more so now than ever, I’ve been thinking a lot about my friends 💞

Friends from my childhood, friends from my young adult days, friends that I’ve worked with in the past, and friends I have now.  I’m grateful there is somewhat of a crossover with my childhood to now, and from my past to now, and even from my career to now, but it doesn’t matter what part of my life my friends came from, I’ve been thinking of them.

I know I’m not alone in thinking about them or the memories they have brought to me; we are all probably finding ourselves walking down this lane.  I’m grateful for the adventure these memories have taken me on.  Plus I’m grateful for being able to still talk to these individuals.

I suppose you could say, “we are making new memories together!”

This last week, I found myself wanting badly to travel to go visit some of these friends, and of course knowing that I couldn’t was a bit difficult.  Before I became to sad or depressed, I decided to research ways of communicating instead of using Messenger or Texting.  Along with the rest of the World, I came across Zoom.  I’m excited to get started with it; part of me is nervous, but for the most part I’m excited.

I miss my friends quite a bit; there are some I haven’t spoken to in many years, but I also know that the minute we start talking it will be like we never stopped.  Those are my “special friends”, the ones where you have that chemistry, the bond, and the utmost respect for each other, that nothing can stand in the way of picking up where you left off.

The old saying (1970’s) used to be, “pick up the phone and reach out and touch somebody”, but now the way I look at it, it wouldn’t surprise me if the saying became, “reach out and Zoom somebody!”  As a kid, the first saying never made much sense to me either, because I couldn’t figure out how you could touch someone through the phone!  Keep in mind, I was only 8 or 9 at that point!! 😂😂 Times are changing!

My message for you today:

Reach out and communicate with those you are missing!  Pick up your phone, try Zoom, text, Messenger, or even FaceTime!  We have options!  Let your friends know you are thinking of them, talk about the good times, and do some walking down memory lane!  Stay connected!  Remind them they are loved, they are needed in your life, and remind them of how much happiness they brought to your life and continue to do so.  Appreciation for your Special Friends!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Up All Night!

Have you found your sleeping patterns are all messed up?  If you answered, “yes” to that question, then I’m very thankful I’m not alone 😉😉

Yikes!!  Talk about weird sleep patterns and weird dreams!  I have always been used to having “Stephen King” nightmares throughout my life, but these dreams are quite strange.  I don’t even know where to begin, but they all have something to do with change and starting over.

I understand where all this upheaval is coming from, but for the most part, I try to journal my experience.  I feel that is so very important to keep track of our dreams at night and how our sleep patterns have changed.  You will find, the more you talk about it, the more you will see you are not alone.  In fact, you will have more in common with others and will share the same experiences.

We are on a heck of a ride at the moment, so it is normal for it to affect our sleep as well.

I’m happy to report, I’ve still remained a positive “morning person”; I’m grateful for maintaining that approach to my day.  I have adopted the thought process that we are on an adventure, instead of something negative.  I’m trying to take a therapeutic approach to my sleep, dreams, and how I wake up.

Here is how my night starts:

When I go to sleep, around 11:30 pm (which is late for me) I’m hoping to actually fall asleep.

After tossing and turning, watching the TV in my bedroom (it is 12:45 am at this point), I will turn the TV off and turn on some spa (Reiki) music to calm my mind.

I manage to actually fall asleep, but wake up every 2 hours to toss around some more.

I will finally wake up at 5:45 am, put the coffee on, then go back to bed.

I manage to fall back to sleep.

I then wake up at 9:30 am.

As you can see, my sleep is not solid.  I tend to want to just get up and stay awake, but I also know that will make me then sleep during the day, and then I will really be messed up.

The important thing, is that I’m still waking up with a smile on my face!  I know I’m not the only one struggling, and that this too will pass.  Remember, everything is temporary with regards to this upheaval.

I want to wish you all sweet dreams, sound sleep, and a great morning to wake up too!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – A Dream Can Come True

I have come to the conclusion that nothing can stop you – A Dream Can Come True!

We may get started on living our “dream” to find yet another roadblock in life!  We just need to put on our Marvel costume of choice😉😉 , while we are flying over yet another challenge!!  Not to worry; let these roadblocks help build your character while you are becoming more and more accepting.  Stare at these challenges, give them a wink, and move forward!

The bottom line is this:

We cannot let anything, and I mean ANYTHING get in the way of making our dreams come true!  We may have to sacrifice staying at home, staying away from friends and family, and staying away from life as we knew it, but this is temporary!

Take this time to dive into your dream from a different perspective!  A planning perspective!  This is your time to harness absolutely everything needed to continue with your dreams in life.  It is time to perhaps, do more researching, reach out to those in the industry you are interested in (trust me, they have lots of time to answer any questions you may have), plan your steps, join some networks or groups, and create that step-by-step guide to Reaching Your Dreams!

This is your creative time, your visualization time, time for you to look back and see if you need to make any changes so that you can achieve your dreams, and time to actually “enjoy” each step of the way (we tend to forget to enjoy each stage).

This is your time!  Enjoy your dreams!  Wrap yourself up in every day knowing you are that much closer to achieving your dreams.  This time in your life, has been placed before you to gain wisdom, to gain gratitude for each day, to appreciate those in your life just a little bit more than you already do, and to become just a little bit more humble.

Your dreams can come true!  Stay Positive!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – The New World!

A couple of days ago, I read an article of an elderly man who was 107 years of age, who was a young boy during the Spanish Flu.  He was asked many questions, but the one that stood out to me was, “how did everyone get back on their feet?”  His answer was simple, “we all helped each other.”

It wasn’t about, “if I help you, how much are you going to pay me?”, it was about just helping with no expectations of receiving any money.  Greed did not get in the way.

I understand that times are different right now, but really, are they that different?  Could we help each other recover from this old World we lived in, in order to move into the New World?

I’d like to believe we could!!

My vision for our new way of living, is one of Peace.  Where we smile at our neighbor, not because it is the right thing to do, but because we sincerely “feel” it in our heart.  Where we help each other with our time, not because we are expecting money in return, but because we sincerely “feel” it in our heart.  Where we give to each other of items we can spare, not because they will owe you one day, but because we sincerely “feel” it in our heart.

No expectations from anyone; just doing good for everyone!  Acts of Kindness!!

I really believe we can do it!  Going back to the old days!  Community!  Self Sustaining!  Neighborly! Helpful, friendly, and kind!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Don’t Let It Win!

My family and I have been in, what is referred to as, isolation, lock-down, and have been practicing social distancing, along with all the other requirements to get through these times.  I like to refer to it as, we are just staying at home!

I find, if we start giving our time “titles” then the issue that is controlling the World right now, is actually winning even more.  I refuse to let this “invisible pain in the World’s backside” win!

We all know, what we all need to do, to take back our control of our lives!  There is no reason, why we have to constantly remind ourselves of “what” it is called.  I find to maintain a healthy mindset, we need to try and maintain normalcy.

Instead of saying, we are living in isolation, just say, we are still living at home.

Instead of saying, we are social distancing, just say, we are enjoying being in our own bubble (space), we are trying something new!

Instead of saying, we are on lock-down, just say, we are diving into Spring cleaning, and spending quality time with our family, friends, pets, or even spending time planning our dreams; we love our home/space so much, we just don’t want to leave.

To gain some sense of control back, since living this way was out of our control, we can easily say, “we are trying something new.  We are doing a project and making use of our time.  We are gaining more gratitude for each other, by spending more time with each other.”

There are so many ways of looking at our situation we are all living in at the moment, but by throwing a little positive mindset into the mix of things, we are having more fun, we are feeling less anxiety, and we are actually relaxing a bit more.

The best part of it all, is this invisible pain the backside I referred to earlier, is not winning so much, and I quite like that idea.

Keep Spreading The Love & Stay Home!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – We Are Learning!

During this time in our lives, we as a family, are learning!  We are going through, what I like to refer to it as,  a reality check!

How quickly life can change, out of our control.  How quickly you can be working your dream job and then poof, your not!  How quickly you can own a thriving business, the surprise it’s gone!  What we think of as normal, is now so far out of reach (for now!)

However, there is a better way of looking at it!

I want to make sure you understand, we are all doing this together!  This is why I am sharing with you, what I’ve learned and how it has comforted me.  There will be options for you to consider if you are needing them.

Yes, there is no hiding it, there is loss all over the World; that is our new reality.  Loss does not have to remain loss!  Loss is a time to get creative, not just in work, but in your lifestyle.

Start planning for a simple future!  Do we need all those bills?  Do we need a high mortgage?  Do we need to pay an even higher rent to cover someone else’s mortgage and expenses?  Do you feel trapped knowing you will still need to pay these things?  I haven’t even spoke about Gas and Power bills yet…guess what I don’t feel I need too…they are still there!

However, the answer to all of that is NO!

You have options!  The question is, are you willing to live a more simple life in order to not have the pressure of a huge financial load?

My family and I, have taken the past month, to look at our lives, and to find ways of cutting costs.  Minimize life!

We have been researching different “home” options out there and to be honest, they give me more excitement to look forward too one day.  Everything from full-time RV living (mind you, there are currently very minimal choices in that department for people to stay at), shipping container homes (supplies can be recycled to finish the inside of the container), renting land to place trailers or shipping containers on, Yurt’s, tiny homes, and commune living (not religious commune’s but that is your choice) where you rent land or buy farm land “together” with friends or family and place numerous trailers, containers, etc. on the land and have a community garden, laundry, etc.

The lives we live now, have taught us that being humble in our approach is a gift!  We are going to go back to living a simple life.  We have no detailed answers as to all the questions in how we are going to do this, or which option we are going to take, but at least we have decided to live a life where we are at Peace.

This lifestyle is not for everyone, but we have learned, the last thing we want to worry about is astronomical loss.  We are all going through that now, we don’t want to go through it again.  Living having learned valuable lessons is a Gift!  We are going to make sure we share that gift with our experiences to as many people as possible.

Keep Sharing The Love!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Life Changes

Life Changes!  I’ve chosen this picture, for the simple reason, it shows how things can change so quickly.  From snow, to green grass, just like that – without warning!  Believe it or not, these life changes can happen when it is out of our control.  We have no choice but to accept, adjust, and move forward.  The good thing is, is that we can still blossom through it and flourish like we are meant too!

One thing I’ve learned in my life, we don’t have all the answers.  There are times when we like to think we know it all, but we really don’t.  We never will know everything, that is why we learn as we go.  We need to stop putting pressure on ourselves to know everything; we do the best we can with what we know.

Life changes all the time, it gets so confusing at times, but by breathing, taking it moment by moment and day by day, this will allow us to learn what we are supposed to be learning in that moment.

Life changes, can be a blessing, but then they can be very hurtful and scary; we need to embrace both and move forward with faith.  When we have faith, it even makes fear take a backseat.

With the recent life changes, I find it has changed my perspective on quite a few things in my own life.  I’ve vowed to face these changes and move forward with confidence and drive.  Trust me, I have my days where, the shock of everything wears off and reality sinks in, but I then remind myself, these changes will eventually pass – this is happening for the World to learn in this moment.

We are doing this together; we are learning through this life change.
