The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Have You Lost Your Way?

Do you feel as though you have lost your way? It is almost a childlike feeling; when a child is feeling scared and lonely in this great big World we live in. Even though we have all felt at times, lost in our way, I’m not going to say, “I understand, exactly what you are going through and how you feel”, because each experience is different. Each experience should be treated differently.

Each experience should be recognized. Each experience should be acknowledged. Each experience should be comforted.

We tend to blame ourselves when we are in a position where we feel lost, but before you go down that road, just remind yourself, sometimes the World changes and takes over the control for just a bit of time. Sometimes, things happen in the World that put us in a tiny state of shock for a moment; it isn’t anything we have done, it is just circumstances that get out of control.

That’s when we “take our control” back! We slowly find our way again! We find options, we find a new way of thinking, we find comfort, we find answers, and we find a sense of peace within reach.

We cannot let something that is not in our control, control “our way”. No matter what, “our way” is, it will remain that way. “Our Way”, is what we own, it is also, “our why” in life. When you know “why” you are passionate about something in your life, then that becomes your way! You will never lose “your way”; it is always with you.

The next time you feel as though you have lost your way, just take a moment and breathe, sit in silence and remind yourself, your way is always there. Find your grounding, find your center, find your clarity, it is within you as well. In that moment of silence, listen to your breath, listen to your heart telling you, “I’m here”.

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – This Mama Dances! What Music Are You Listening Too?

In our household, we always have music on during the day; to be honest, lately, it has helped to pass the time with being at home full-time. Music has been our distraction, our stress reliever, and our exercise. We DANCE!!

When I wake up every morning, I can’t wait to put the music on! Generally, I start with some soothing Reiki music to start my morning off, while I am catching up on messages and having my first coffee. Breaks me in too the day, in a calming way.

Then it happens! I put on a little Good Vibes or Reggae and let the beat get a hold of my soul! In fact, as I’m typing this post, I am listening to Reggae Classics on Spotify; what a great selection of music.

Every single day, the music will differ; as we can’t forget the good old 80’s hair bands and their rock music. Now, I put on AC/DC, Queen, Poison, Def Leppard, and Aerosmith when I’m writing Fiction!

During all of this, I will dance and enjoy! I let the music help me to escape into a World where I’ve never been; it could be a World I will write about, but it is a World of pure bliss. I take my bliss and I will dance into the kitchen to cook dinner, I will take my bliss and sway back and forth while making my bed, and I will take my bliss and let all my creativity out!

It is like painting on a canvas for me, without the paint or the canvas. I feel the strokes of the paint brush touching the canvas in the beat of the music. I know I sound like a Free Spirit Hippie; I guess my true self comes out through music.

My question to you is this:

What music are you listening too? What music brings you to this blissful place? What song “can’t” you get out of your head? What music makes you dance?

We need to share 😀😀 we may be helping someone find the harmony in music and dance!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – You Look Perfect

Wow…what a different World we live in! We were living a normal life, then in a blink of an eye, we were living in isolation. During this time, boy did most of us change. Some went from wearing make-up to going “oh natural”, from dying our hair to letting the roots come on in, from getting dressed up every morning to wearing pj’s all day long and from getting used to going to the gym to (YIPES!) becoming a couch potato!

Through it all, “you all looked perfect!” The true you came shining through! Our personal canvas, our outer shell, was there in its vulnerable state; it was embraced. At that very moment, we all realized we were “all” in this together and we were all experiencing being raw. Vanity didn’t matter so much anymore.

Isn’t it amazing, when we really understand that we are all the same; how we look at ourselves in a different light.

Now, we are adding masks to our wardrobe. Some are buying all the latest trends in masks – who would have thought? Guess what? You Look Perfect!

Wearing masks are now allowing us to all look at each other through the eyes. The eyes into the soul! Where we should have been looking from the start! It isn’t about vanity; it is about seeing the soul in someone’s eyes. Let the eyes speak to you! You will see who you are meant to see.

Just remember, “You Look Perfect!”

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Creating A Sanctuary

Since we have been cleaning and cleaning our home, for what seems like an endless amount of time, product, and muscle, it is now time to focus on creating a sanctuary. Change it up a bit! Move some furniture around! Create a different look!

When the virus broke out, we packed up all our dust collectors, our pictures, items we were not using, and left a blank canvas for a home. We cleaned and cleaned some more, to make sure we were following the proper steps for fighting the virus. I know it seems a little obsessive, but when dealing with something we have never dealt with before, we didn’t want to risk anything. Proactive at its finest!

The benefit of this project of packing and cleaning, made us see just what we could live without and what we actually needed. It was a gift to look at our home empty, except for the necessities. We created an environment that could breathe better! The energy flow in our home was calmer and flowed more freely.

As time has gone by, and we are getting accustomed to how we are now living in the New World and living in a new realization, it is now time to start to create our sanctuary.

We needed to take this time in our lives, to not put pressure on ourselves in trying to understand our New World. We needed to take this time to not panic, but instead to learn how to accept. We needed to take this time to look at our lives and see where our creativity could take us and how we could make a life where we were more self sustaining, more resourceful, and more reliant on our abilities that we had at one time taken for granted.

It is funny what you learn about yourself, when you just take that moment to sit back, breathe, and tap into “you”. My abilities of writing, cooking, growing vegetables, making homemade products, for example, have now become my full-time career. I found a way to turn what I do on a daily basis, into a career. A career in sharing! Sharing what I have learned on this new journey! The Good Vibes Only Roadshow has now become something larger, but yet something more valuable – it has become life changing.

Our sanctuary is going to reflect all what we have learned in the past couple of months, it is going to reflect our connection with each other and our goals for the future. Our sanctuary is not about material items, it will be more about peace, calm, and reflection.

I hope you take this time to reflect, change or rearrange, and create a space that is all about who you are now; who you have become. Embrace this change; life has handed us out an experience to learn by, in more ways than one. Make the best of your environment you are living in; let some light in, let the air flow, and feel the balance. Calm your mind; calm your space!

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.

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – How Are You Doing?

I won’t lie, the past month has been quite the year!!! How are you all doing?

I feel it is very important to check in with each other, more now than ever. Opening up the lines of communication, opening up your heart, and just saying a great big, “Hello! How are you doing?”

I have been doing a whole lot of thinking these days! I must tell you, I am learning quite a bit about life and how grateful I am for everyone in my life. I’m not just grateful for my family and friends, but I find myself grateful for absolutely everyone on this planet!

I am grateful for the picture of the little kids coloring pictures for our healthcare workers. I am grateful for the news broadcasters who are also risking their lives to protect us with the latest news. I am grateful for all emergency crews, for grocery store clerks, for pharmacists providing medicine to those in need, for our sanitation crews still picking up our garbage, recycling and composting. I am grateful for delivery companies, truck drivers bringing supplies to our stores, and for post office employees still delivering mail. I am grateful for our Governments who are trying desperately to work together with Peace, health, and our futures in mind. It can’t be an easy job; our patience is required while they try to do the best for us.

I am extremely grateful for social media and the internet! Without it we wouldn’t be able to help each other and lift each other up through these different times. I would be lost without all of you! I am so grateful to be able to talk to you all, and will forever be grateful for this platform.

I am grateful to have Facebook! I can see my family who do not live with us. I can still tell them I love them! I can still see my friends and support their hopes for a better tomorrow. I can support my followers and provide them with as much inspiration as I can, knowing that if I help just one person a day, then I’m doing my part in this World!

There are so many more people I am grateful for, the list is endless, but I must say, I am very grateful for the pictures of pets and animals. They have no idea what is going on, but their images bring so much comfort to many.

I wake up each day, hoping and praying that everyone is doing well, they are safe, and they are remaining in their homes to remain healthy.

This is how I am doing in my life; how are you doing?

I want to hear you, I want you to use your voice and express yourself, and I want you to do this knowing you are safe to wear your heart on your sleeve. You will be heard! Share your days, your hopes and your dreams.

I wish you all comfort ❤

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Healing the Soul

There come’s a time in our lives, where we just need to sit back, be quiet and just listen to our soul. Listen to what it is trying to tell you. Does it need healing?

I know throughout my life, I’ve had to take those moments to just listen to what my soul was saying to me, instead of blocking it out! When your soul needs some healing is when you start to feel overwhelmed. For me, that is the first sign, I need to take a break from those around me and from situations that are causing me grief.

For example, when you are trying to just talk to someone and no matter what, the finger is always pointed at you? They do not care to listen? It’s always your fault? Well that is one of the signs that it is time to take a break, reevaluate different approaches to take, and to also give that other person in your life a break. Nothing gets resolved when you don’t acknowledge when it is time to step away and just breathe.

Heal Your Soul!

During this time, you may see that just maybe, you were 50% wrong, but because you acknowledged you needed a break, made you heal enough to see the other persons point of view. Yes! This can be done! Other people can be right in their convictions! Even if we don’t want to accept the fact, you are not always right!

How boring it would be if we had all the answers! There would be nothing to learn!

There is nothing more attractive than a person who can own up to when they were wrong, or they reacted badly, or they caused someone to feel sad. When someone is sorry and owns the fact they could have handled things differently, don’t continue to make them feel bad, but instead accept their apology with compassion and empathy. You will see, that relationship will be renewed and healed.

Both souls will feel refreshed!

The Good Vibes Only Roadshow – Patience

We are sure being put through the test! Do you agree?

Patience is now something we need the most, along with understanding, acceptance, and love. Gratitude is also a component to handling “lack” of patience; remember, if you remind yourself of what you are grateful for, then you will find your patience will not be so hard to deal with.

Finding the little things to be grateful for, will help your mind escape away from fear, will keep you focused on positive things in your life, and will keep you connected to your family, both near and far.

The unknown is there, it is evident, we are all wondering when things will get back to normal; remind yourself, you are not alone. This is the first time, in a long time, everyone on this planet is in the same boat! We are all worried about the same things; health, finances, family, friends, the essential workers, the healthcare workers, the brave men and women who are fighting this battle for us. We are all thinking of the same things from day to day; will this ever end?

Our patience are narrowing on the unknown, but, we are all together as one and knowing that should give you some comfort.

If you find you are running low on patience, put yourself on a “timeout” and remind yourself, everything is temporary in life, we are all in this together, we are all supporting each other, and we are all going to listen to the warnings and do what we can to help those who are fighting for us, by staying at home.

Find the gratitude again! This will ease your patience! Hang in there!

With Good Vibes Only – Patience!
