Morning Star Visions

I was very pleased with my Chihuahua blanket!❤️🐾🐾

Plan to be here more and more as I work with my Coach and plans some great things for this page! Thank you all for checking in!

Morning Star Visions needs to be more active!

Pondering this morning again....I look into the lives of those people I know who are successfully expanding their lives, overcoming challenges, taking healthy risks to love, enjoy living and I see some things in common with many of them. I see them finding themselves, as they are, not as they were scripted by others to be, but scraping away at veneers that were given to them from the perspectives of others. I see them discovering they are good, they are gifted, they are loving and they are loved! Then I see them move into new areas of growth because they are beginning to believe that they are worthy of creating their lives to be full, they desire relationships that reflect to them their worth, as they enjoy giving that same respect to those new friends. I get to see them doing new things, with new energy, no matter age, income, education, approaching life with growing confidence that they can and will do what they have dreamed of doing. Not an easy journey but it appears by what I "see", a journey that pays off, enabling them to live beyond the labels of others, they step out, defying the former description of who they were said to be and they become who they were created to be, and with flying colors! So it would appear that the journey to self is worth every struggle, tear, challenge, every letting go we face, it is worth it. And I am blessed to get to actually see this metamorphisis in so many. Grateful for these gifts from my Creator.

A truly wonderful and peaceful weekend, all three days were comfortable, and productive. Good time with family, learning with friends and practicing more "public" honesty! Shared some real thoughts about "blanket statements" and how I percieve those comments as often not including the whole turth of people or situations. As I shared I was aware of how frustraated I can get with a few sharing what they think is the perspective of many!

Yesterday took some "me" time. loaded up the small dogs and went to the dog park for some beyond the back yard adventures for the girls, then we took off for the hills! Lovely ride, peaceful, Chloe enjoying the ride more than Abby who isn't condidtioned for car rides but she did pretty well.

Drove down the old roads I used to travel when I lived off Bogus Jim road, good memories, sense of growth in my life and the overcoming of so many thing plus the successes in my life, and lives of family. Many good memories of that time, walking on forest lands for miles, picking wild raspberries, driving gravel roads to the old logging trails.

As I drove I had that incredible sense of being at peace with my life, complete acceptance of the journey from childhood to present time, was wonderful to not sense the energy of conflict, regrets, just peace, and solidness of Soul, connected to all of my life, embracing the entire landscape of Me! And being so grateful for each moment, to include the moments that I thought I could never breathe through.

Interesting how we think so often, that this will be the event, the change, the loss that stops us, embitters us, this will be the betrayal that tells us to extend love and forgiveness no more, no more trust, no more forgiving, no more depth of love.....and then, years later we see the unimaginable progress beyond the hurt, disappointment, and shame at having not been able to succeed at so many thngs.

Today, I know I have succeeded many times, I have added to the quality of this planet for these years of my life, I have made some things easier for some people and I have been able to love again, more, and in a mature way. At peace with an entire 70 years, at peace with choices, losses, disappointments, what I thought were betrayals (but were gifts of endings that needed to be), even at peace and filled with grace at how the Creator has blessed my life as I do what I can to be a positive person with intention to see more good each day.

My God is a God of peace, grace, second, thinrd and fourth chances and more! And because of God, I am in acceptance of 70 years of life, living, sharing, stumbling, loving, trying, succeeding, failing, and getting up again to see what the next part of the journey will be. I am loving my life, and so grateful to have been carried to this reality in the Loving Arms of A Power so much greater than myself.

Pondering the reasons why we as people who say we are loving, caring souls would continue to make what I call "blanket statements" . It would appear that many would declare realities for all with their ideas of the how and what of the lives of others. Learning from my own journey that within my mind are many stories, about me, you and many others. As I take responsibility for the direction and attitude of these thoughts I see how untrue, unfounded and toxic my "stories" are. My own practice today is to withhold my "declarations" of imagined realities. So many are misrepresented by "the good opinion of others" , and pain is again perpetrated onto innocent others. We need healing from arrogant , grandiose statements. Asking Creator to show us our flaws, our wounded selves as we recover from being victims of unfair judgements ourselves. We have been unfairly judged by others and we have judged in return which just keeps the karmic wheel spinning. Time for me to release anger, hurt, narcissistic supposition and share love, not judgement. .

A grand good morning after an incredible rain last night! My intention to to be here on regular basis, and to promote the truth I find in the blessings of exchanging fear for love. Many lessons, experiences in the past few years of the changes that have come into my life as a result of turning to my Higher Power with a willingness to change the way I think. It has not been as difficult as I first made it out to be. Too much "thinking" from old stories made is scary, and later I saw how silly it was to hold onto those old, outdated untrue fables in my head. Great reading materials, being as selective as possible in my social life, and learning the benefit of time spent alone, to truly listen to my mind, and practice not allwoing those old negative, fearfilled thoughts to run my life. I am blessed with friends who agree with this practice, which nakes it much easier to celebrate moving into better dimensions of living and thinking. So now knowing that "as a man (woman) thinks, so shall he/she be", I continue to focus on reality, and to give myself permission to grow further in faith, trust in my Creator to guide me into greater peace, and energy to live well.

Good morning to all. A beautiful day in June 2017. thanks to all who have stopped by, this has been a neglected project, my apologies, hoping to update, get back into the swing of this endeavor.

Good morning to all who wander here. Not been attentive to this place, so much happened from the time of beginning this endeavor, until now. Thanks for stopping in, and checking out Morning Star Visions.

Have been looking at the "small self" in me as I read Richard Rohr, and Thomas Keating, two great authors who write wonderful material about the Higher Power and the unconditional love of that Power. Wondering about that part of me, or perhaps those parts of me that beleive that I truly love someone and yet I can become an obstacle to their growth by being fearful of what their growth might impact in my life, perhaps making me deal with some insecurity, fear of change. With all of my words of love, support, encouragement am I really covering insecurity or even jealousy, fear of them "getting ahead" or getting away from me? Are those looking good words and actions more for presentation that truth? Does their growth, new desiring trigger fears, sense of "property"? Did fear dress up as a type of love that might impress the world while the small me was thinking like a grightened, angry child resisting their growth, and an opportunity for me to really look deeper into myself? As I lived the role of the one betyared, destroyed, broken did I feel, deep inside a sweet revenge if my "suffering" was rewarded by those of similiar outlook? Did I know that my sympathizers were really enablers who helped me stay in a very non-effective place? Deep calls to deep, deep anger, deep jealousy, deep resentments will call to themselves like minded souls, as will loving, forgiving souls find one another. The world of suffering, replaying the wrongs done, or the world of forgiving, letting go, celebrating the freedom of myself and the other to be all we can be seem to be some of the choices we have, to create the reality we think will be more effective for us. Claiming ownership of my dreary, well rehearsed dramas gives me the strength and energy to relosve them, take them off the table, and as my Spiritual Director says enables me to ask myself "what is the big deal?" My dishonest, irresponsibel blaming, guilting only hurt me, and kept that person from perhaps being a friend, even when they had to choose another path. What happens is that their lives go on, and my stays in the swamp of resentment, self pity, fear, and childish getting even through gossip, rumors, to try to bolster myself. So...taking the steering wheel of my life back, seeing my part in my own victimization through my small self, enjoying being an obstacle in someone"s life who is only trying to better their journey becomes the trash to clen up. Moving away from making sure they know, daily how they have hurt me, destroyed lives, (not really), caused me pain, shame and isolation is my being that empowered woman I really am when done playing the victim. So many of us want to let that person, or those persons know how they crushed us, our futures, it can become an obsession, and like a disease it spreads to innocent people, who may miss out on knowing a great person because of my anger, and fear and thinking I have lost my integrity, my place in this life. There is a way to let go, many of us have discovered this because we wanted to join the adults in our world, and let go of the mentality that someone must pay. We wanted our own resurrection from the self pity, the false powerlessness, depression and the oppression of our self. The only way I can write this is by taking my own inventory, and knowing that there is more to life that my disappointments, hurts, losses. It is about embracing what is, and loving it as it is. More later.
