Casting Away Shadows

My book of poetry and inspirations.
Some samples from Casting Away Shadows
As Timeless As Creation
Bring joy
To this table
My worn out heart
Tired from
Disappointments
Bad choices
Wrong turns
Accepts
This face
As its own
Bring love
To this room
Mending
What was broken by time
Reconciling false beliefs
With the magic
Of its touch
The softness of its reach
Bring laughter
To this home
Uplifting views
Of serious disdain
Releasing illusions
Inviting life in though
Doors that were closed
By harsher lessons of life
Bring light
In its purest form
The dance of the soul
The flight of the heart
An embrace
As timeless as creation

Casting Away Shadows
The light has come
To cast away the shadows
In time’s remaining hands
All that was left undone
Becomes a finished chore
Dancing into the light
Of remembrance
Of who I am
My sacredness
A key I have turned
Unlocking
My worthiness
With timid hands
That forgot
How to shine
The shadows barely there
Anymore
As they come
Into the light
To merge
Into wholeness

Dream Into Being...

This is a poem from my poetry book:

Jewels of Awe.

With a stout heart, a mouse can lift an elephant. Tibetan proverb.

A World Treasury of Folk Wisdom

Your life will reflect the beliefs and thoughts you nurture within you. Plant seeds of a future you will love. If unconscious parts of you are blocking the future you imagine as the seeds of tommorrow, the issues will come up to be healed.

I have done much inner work to arrive at the happiness of my present life.

Do not be afraid of inner work, it can be quite cathartic and freeing.You may find you need to find forgiveness in your heart, release fears or a myriad of different issues that are unique to you.

When you envision the future you want, life guides you in the process of how to get there.

What seeds are you planting for a life you love?

What you sow, so shall you reap…

Plant yourself a beautiful garden…….

Food for the soul

We all need food for our soul, something that speaks to us, sustains us, pulls us through, inspires us, comforts us. There are many things that can be. It is different for everyone. What feeds your soul? Make a list and let it inspire you to do things that feed your soul everyday.

Here is a delicious homemade whole wheat bread recipe my husband and I make. Cooking or baking can feed your soul. Put love into your food when you are preparing and cooking your food and it can actually feed your sensuality. Sensuality is not just sexual.

ENJOY SOME HOMEMADE FOOD FOR THE SOUL

100% Whole Grain Wheat Bread

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 36 minutes

Ready In: 3 hours

Yields: 2 Loaves
If you like fluffy brown bread this it. No white flour here. You can use any 100% whole grain wheat flour. I mill my own. This bread is not heavy like most 100% whole wheat breads. If it is you used too much flour and your dough was too stiff. If it flattens out and won’t stand up you need more flour. The total amount of flour is usually about 6 1/2 cups. This recipe has been in my family for years and we all make it. We make a lot more now that we have powerful mixers and the hand kneeding is bye bye.

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 Cups of hot water1/4 Cup of Oil, Olive is fine1/4 Cup of honey2 Tbs Molasses1 Tbs Salt, Sea Salt is good6 1/2 cups of 100% Whole Grain Wheat Flour2 1/2 Tbs of Dry Active

YeastDIRECTIONS:

1. Place the first five ingredients in the bowl and mix.
2. Add: 2 Cups 100% Whole Grain Wheat Flour. Mix then add 2 Tbs of Dry Active Yeast. If your not sure about your yeast proof it in a little warm water first.
3. Add: 4 Cups of 100% Whole Grain Wheat Flour.
4. Mix until the consistency is some what even. Then continue to slowly add flour 1/4 Cup at a time until the dough quits sticking to the sides of the bowl. It should be tacky to the touch. The trick is to have enough consistency to stand up with the least amount of flour so the bread will be fluffy. In any case do not exceed 7 1/2 cups of wheat flour. You can trade one cup of wheat flour for one cup of all purpose white if you wish. Don’t over mix or the bread will be tough.
5. When your dough is finished, Cover the bowl and let it rise for about 30-45 minutes. The dough will be larger but it doesn’t need to double when using a heavy mixer.
6. Grease two bread pans with Crisco. You can also flour the pans to reduce sticking.
7. Mix again just enough to knock it down at least close to the original size.
8. Drop the dough on a floured surface so you can work the dough and shape it. Roll it in theflour and shape it in your hands to make a nice ball getting enough flour on it so it isn’t sticky. Divide the ball in half and do it again. Shape the loaves by turning the dough under it’s self over and over. When the dough is shaped right the sides and ends will be sealed and all you will see is a nice oblong shaped loaf with smooth sides and top. Drop the loaves in your bread pans and let them rise until almost doubled. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 36 minutes. If you forgot to preheat 41 minutes. (gas oven)
9. When done turn the bread out of the pan to a rack to cool. You can eat it right away (a great time for real butter) don’t wrap it until completely cooled. (Condensation will make it soggy) Put in tinfoil to store on the counter. If you put it in the refrigerator it will turn into a brick. Enjoy.

Create You

Start creating yourself today…

There are endless possibilites on creating you. Let the world be your canvas and your inspiration. When you put the intention out there of what you would like to be, life follows this thought and the universe hears you.Don’t play it small…I love this quote from Marianne Williamson, it has inspired me.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

by Marianne Williamson

Do you love what you do?

Do you love what you do?

When your day is through, do you want to talk about your day or put it out of your mind?
My thoughts on this are that it would ideal to do what we love, to be excited to talk about what we did that day.

Are you passionate about what you do in your life?

When I see my husband at the end of the day I can’t wait to share what happened during the day. I feel excited and passionate about what I do. It is such a good feeling to have. I have been in a place where I was not excited about my life. Being excited and passionate about it, is such a better place to be.

There are so many things to do, books to read that can help you to create the life you want to live rather than live a life you just exist in.

Be a star in your own life!

Create you!

You are the author of your own life.
What would your script sound like?
What would you write as your life?
