WPSPLH&H – DoWoo #33/365

Leave a reply

Today seemed to be a long and arduous journey.  Numerous aspects flying fast and furious and I admit to having been totally overwhelmed.  The good news is we shut it all down and spent the evening with family-by-choice friends.  I realigned my day and observed.  In reflection, that which caused any perceived challenges today were just “stuff”.  Does the stuff really matter? NO. What matters is who I am being. Everything else is filler and a reflection of what is going on inside.  I choose to be all that I am and more.  

I AM whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy! All delivered aloud with en-THU-siasm!

Their Dreams – DoWoo #32/365

Leave a reply

Universe_in_handI observed.  We are honoured to work on helping others with their dreams. How blessed we are to be entrusted; when someone is willing to share their ambitions, their hopes, their desires.  I imagine that our source must feel exuberance beyond anything WE can conceive. Our source holds all our dreams in their vision. 

The juggling and multi-tasking that must go on at that higher level to listen, truly listen to all of us.  To what we desire, what we hope for, where we aspire to be.  And as long as our source deems it does not take away anyone’s good, we are granted the path to our dream. 

We need to be clear, concise and heartfelt.  Then we must be patient and open to the path given to us.  The path may not always be clear, and most likely nothing like we imagine it, but our source has computed all the possible permutations and showed us the path most beneficial to all for our dream to come to fruition.  Are you listening? Are you watching?  The path is right there in front of you. Get in your vehicle (actual & metaphorically) and hit the road.

An allowable opinion? – DoWoo #31/365

4 Replies

userHad an interesting experience this evening. Was on a call with some lovely ladies going over a technical presentation.  I am honoured to be part of this group, lending my lack of expertise to help ensure the presentation is as “layman” user friendly as possible.

Was providing my nickles worth when I caught myself.  I’m not supposed to be giving opinions – I must DoWoo!  The team reminded me my opinion was being asked for, so I was perfectly OK to share.  Whew!

yeah_1However, what I realized from this exercise was that I RECOGNIZED I was giving an opinion. How HUGE is that?  When I started this process I struggled with being aware of what I was doing.  Now I’m beginning to catch myself more often.  This is a fantastic shift in awareness.  YEAH! 

This after only 30 days – IMAGINE how it will be after 335 more?! I DoWoo; Do U?

Find your Happy Space – DoWoo #30/365

Leave a reply

One of the teachings of our mentor Mark J is to identify a “happy space” – a visual or other form of reminder to put yourself into a good space so you can readjust whatever is going on at the moment to bring you down.

Our family has such a “happy space” – and it ALWAYS brightens any moment.  We even went so far as to include it in our wedding renewal ceremony which took place earlier this year in Kauai. How can one not smile when doing the limbo?

So….What’s your happy space?

Humbled – DoWoo #29/365

While we create our daily existence to be full of a multitude of requirements, schedules, to-dos, must haves, want to dos, get to dos, interactions, rest and recovery, the list goes on and on. Ultimately though…does any of it really truly matter? 

103-004-cosmos-when-knowledge-conquered-fear-large-photo-960x540I am only one of so many people on this planet.  The time of my life is only a small blip in this entire existence as we understand it. Is there a point? 

I am in awe of how vast the possibilities are.  I am humbled to know I am here for a purpose. I look forward to embracing what I was meant to do and be.  Maybe I am here to be here for you?  Thank you for allowing me to share my words – my thoughts – my dreams.

I am born today – DoWoo #28/365

1 Reply

begin-again-buddah1Today was the anniversary of my birth – but in truth I believe I am born today.  

I felt a shift start yesterday; At some point during my full day of DoWoos I paused to consider what I was doing and why was I doing it and whether I was doing it fully.  

I started thinking further: Whom must I become in order to be who I want to be?  First I must decide what attributes the person I want to be has.  Then I must break down how I am to hone those attributes to be, at minimum, consciously competence with each. 

It’s amazing what results from pausing to take stock with whom you are “being” and whether it is in line with the person you intend to be. 

Blue-Print-Thumbs-Up-300x300Today was also the first day of the 2014/2014 Master Key Mastermind Alliance for which Walter and I are Certified Guides. The newest group of students who have embarked on this experience were provided with the Blue Print Builder to include within their daily repertoire of reading material.  

I repeat: I am born today! 

my version (altered slightly for tense and perspective):

I know I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Major Purpose in live, therefore I demand of myself persistent, continuous action towards its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action. 

I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind DO reproduce themselves in outward physical action and transform themselves into physical reality; therefore I concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I have become, thereby creating a clear mental picture of myself as that person. 

I know through the principle of auto suggestion ANY desire that I consistently hold in my mind seeks expression through a practical means of obtaining the object back of it, therefore I devote ten minutes daily to demand of myself the continued development of SELF CONFIDENCE. 

I clearly wrote down a description of my Definite Major Purpose in life and continue to persevere till I develop sufficient self confidence for its attainment. 

I fully realize that wealth and position can only endure when built upon truth and justice, therefore I only engage in transactions which benefit all parties affected.  I succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use and the cooperation of other people. I induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others.  I eliminated hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness and cynicism and developed love for all humanity because I know only a positive attitude towards others can bring me success.  I cause others to believe in me, because I believe in them AND in myself.

2014-09-28 07.43.05I sign my name to this formula and have committed it to memory so I am able to repeat it out loud with FULL FAITH that it has and continues to influence my thoughts and actions, so that I am a self reliant, self confident and successful person.

Thank you!  Carolynn Sokil

A Full Day of DoWoo – DoWoo #27/365

Leave a reply

Greg has read of number of my DoWoos and has even been featured in a few.  Today we went on an adventure to another part of town to have a professional photographer do a photo shoot of our family.  On our drive home he kept saying that everything was a great DoWoo – and we were having a fantastic DoWoo day. He asked whether this was a good DoWoo or whether that was a good DoWoo.  What would “we” write about.  

il_170x135.344153328
I love that he has embraced my journey as a family affair.  

I write this at the end of our full day of DoWoos.  We picked up his friend on the way home and they are ensconced in the tent in the back yard – with mattresses and sleeping bags – 2 flashlights and their favourite books – the fire is crackling slowly burning to coals suitable for s’mores.  What a way to round off this day of enjoying every moment without opinion.  We are blessed beyond what I could have imagined.  

 

24 Hour Non-Drowsey – DoWoo #26/365

1 Reply

531629Had a number of ear, eye, nose and throat symptoms this week …which after a few days we decided to try Claritin. This is not something I’ve used more than once.  So maybe it would help.  Walter came home with a package of non-drowsy 12 hour Claritin. However, he explained – there were choices: what he brought home and a double dose with the package reading “non-drowsy 24 hour Claritin”.

I ask you….Why would someone with allergies wish to stay in a non-drowsy state for a full 24 hours?

Feel free to elaborate on your position – I’m asking your opinion (since I’m attempting to remain without opinions). Cheers!

3s & 8s – DoWoo #25/365

2 Replies

Did a lot of number crunching today – both for the Master Key class which starts on Sunday and my consulting work. Looking at all those numbers, I tend to recognize whenever I see patterns. It’s not often but occasionally I do see a pattern with 3 of one number and 2 of another.

guided-meditation-300x246I have a philosophy which has served me well.  I allow everything with a grain of salt. Because of this, when a friend of mine shared a book about numbers and angels, whenever I see a combination with a minimum of 2 of one number and 3 of another, I always look up Doreen Virtue’s Number Sequence From The Angels. It’s almost like getting a coded message whenever the universe wants to show you…and you are paying attention.

So…the point.  I saw a combination of 3s and 8s.  3’s and 8’s, such as 338 or 383 – “Keep going,” the masters say to you. Boost the energy and focus of your thoughts and feelings. Realign your outlook with the knowledge of your oneness with God, everyone, and all life.

Here I am concentrating on being a better more aligned version of myself – allowing my pure potential to shine and in the process of recording my journey…possibly help others.  I am blessed to be learning all that I am learning at this time.  May I continue to be blessed to continuously understand it and be able to share it with others to enrich all our lives.

Parenthood – DoWoo #24/365

4 Replies

I LOVE I have been given the opportunity to be a parent!  I LOVE that my little man is exactly who he is.  Sometimes he just cracks me up!  He embraces all the teachings we have shared. 

P9204044Today he came home from school with an information package about taking a 16 week Karate Kid class during one lunch period per week.  I was reading through it when he asked me “Does it interest you?”  Included were a list of benefits your child would learn from taking the class.  The last one being “fun!”  He said: “I already know how to do that…I’m a Yellow!” He already talks in his Colour Code.

Later he and I were talking and I used the word “Don’t” in a sentence. He immediately said “Or?”  We have taught him the universe does not understand the word “don’t” and that we should always use the positive phrase. As an example – rather than say “Don’t fall down” we would say “Stay up-right”. I gave him the ability to correct me which he has done faithfully – but because he was giving me the alternate positive phrase – I asked him to prompt me by saying “Or?” which he now does frequently.  

It’s truly amazing how quickly kids pick up on new philosophies – whatever those may be.  

My observation today is that I LOVE being a parent! 

 

James T Cricket – DoWoo #23/365

Walter found a cricket in our basement the other day.  He brought it upstairs to show me – excited that we could show our son this fantastic little creature when he arrived home from school. Then Walter decided we would put the cricket in a glass jar home to allow him to acclimate and see if we could keep him.

James TJames Tiberius Cricket as himself:

We looked up how to set up their space – ensuring there was a place to hide, a q-tip dipped in water to allow him to quench his thirst and something to nibble on.  He did not chrip that evening and we agreed we would give it a few days.  If he had not sang within 3 days we would release him back outside.

James T sang the evening of the 21st – the evening before the 3 days was up. Hurrah! He chirped all night long. The following evening James T began about 10 pm and was chirping till about 6 am the next morning  Greg was impressed at how loud he was.

We have decided to allow James to stay with us for as long as he desires.  We have not put a lid on the jar we have given him.  It’s totally up to him if he stays to sing to us each night. For now this is our experience.

Are crickets good luck? It depends on whether you believe in luck.  Are crickets a sign that good things are around the corner? Who knows.  I like the idea that James T has come to visit us for a while. It certainly makes for an interesting evening of song.

Identify; Don’t Compare – DoWoo #22/365

2 Replies

Was speaking with someone today about our network marketing business when she made reference to how she felt when someone else got up at an event who had reached a certain goal – and she had not; or someone had got all the initial starting perks – and she may not have. I immediately was reminded of the advice given to me by a recovering alcoholic – “It’s OK to identify with others; just don’t compare.”  I shared the advice I had been given. 

Yolo-Award-CeremonyVectorToons.comThere will be a time when someone stands up to be acknowledged for having successfully reached their goals. Be supportive and cheer for them. There will be a time when someone is not able to stand up to be acknowledged as they have not reached their goal as yet.  Be supportive and cheer for them.  

Every person who stands up to be acknowledged was once seated. Every person who remains seated will at some point stand up – either to be acknowledged or walk away – their choice.  We are in fact both of these people at all times. 

However, neither of these other people standing or sitting has any bearing on our journey. Recognizing where we are, identifying with those who have reached their goals, identifying with those who have not – allows us to clearly see where we are, and what we wish to do to be where we want to be. That is all.

red carpetNo comparison required. No beating oneself up for having not “got there yet”. It does not have any bearing on any positive aspect of our existence or how we relate to the other person. Relish in where you are. Aspire to be all that you wish to be. Identify with others and embrace their journey as their own. Now embrace yours as it is meant to be at this singular moment in time. 

Thank you for stopping by – if you like what you read – please share! If you want to share in my journey, please choose to follow me. I wish you and abundance of blessings! 

Mother Nature’s Stairs – DoWoo #21/365

kelsoWe went to Kelso Park yesterday for a hike – the family and the dog.  It’s an area of Ontario known as the Niagara Escarpment.

Upon our arrival the dog chose to share her mid day apple with Gregory’s lap – luckily he handled it well and we had a pair of pajama bottoms in the trunk he could swap out for his jeans which were no longer wearable. He commented his pjs were more comfortable! 

P9204055aWe hiked in about an hour and a half, stopping a few times to appreciate the scenery including a view of the Toronto skyline from over 60 km (or almost 40 miles) away.  We paused for a picnic under the tree canopy to which Gregory commented it was “great family time”.

We had stayed to our right the whole way in – picking up different trails in order to get to the edge of the escarpment. On the way back, I chose not to stay left at one point as I had observed on the way in an alternate path which was less steep.  Greg asked why we were not going the way we had come in. I pointed out the route in front of us would join up with the other at the top of the next rise, but that this path was easier to navigate than the rocky version we had climbed down earlier.

We started up the hill when Gregory noticed all the roots of the trees had created a stepping path which was indeed more easy to navigate. He exclaimed with enthusiasm “Look! Mother Nature’s Stairs”.

To top it off, when driving back home he commented that today was going down in his book as one of his best days.  I truly cherish our son’s ability to accept, adjust and move on.   The dog barf in his lap was forgotten in the joy of spending the day hiking in the woods with his family.

I dedicate this DoWoo to my two men who consistently provide numerous opportunity for inspiration and aspiration.

Family – DoWoo #20/365

The message abounds within my life right now – FAMILY! 

I am seeing what I am meant to observe – truly observe.  Witnessing family members adjusting in order to care for a parent.  Seeing the enormous strength which my husband is within.  My son asking what is better: a loving life or a rich life?  Request for us to spend even more “family time” together.  I observe that all of this is to remind me that as hard as we work, as hard as we strive and dream and persist towards our dreams – nothing matters if we don’t have our family.

I sent a picture to a friend of ours today (below) with the intent to share in the vast differences our countries offer (she lives on an island).  I’ve been here: stunning representation of that spot!

1085 (1)Her reply made me take pause.  “That’s Gorgeous. I would trade you if my family was there.”

What phenomenal sentiment. To appreciate and yet know you would remain, or move, as long as your family was there.  

In answer to Gregory’s question – “A rich life is a life filled with love.”  What do you think?

Texas Chili – DoWoo #19/365

web_chili_2One of the things I just love about our son Greg is his ability to put a positive spin on just about anything.  Walter gave him left over chili to take to school – heated up in a thermos with sour cream on the side to add at lunch time. He loves this especially when he can add cheese. 

When we unpacked his lunch box there was still chili remaining in the container….strange. When asked about why he did not finish, Greg replied: 

“I loved the chili so much I ate it slowly, but then I didn’t have enough time to finish it.”

I love how the universe works!

Grand_Universe

Now…is that an observation….or an opinion?  I’m going to go with it being an observation of my feelings – and allow it to flow from there! 

Today’s Inspirational Quote:  “If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.”   — Dalai Lama 

Yesterday’s DoWoo was about not worrying and remembering to be HAPPY!  The universe knows I am in the middle of assisting with the Worldwide Launch of the 2014/2015 Master Key Experience Course which goes live in 10 days. The universe has observed I have a consulting business which requires my attention. The universe is aware I spent time with my mom this week. And finally the universe knows I  made a commitment to blog my DoWoos for 365 days. 

So….the universe provides my daily inspirational quote in a way which inspires observation without opinion.  How very blessed I feel.  I have no worry – as there is no benefit.  I have no opinion – as there is no benefit!   

Be happy knowing the universe loves you right back! 

Be Happy! – DoWoo #17/365

Today’s Inspirational Quote – George F. Burns:

“If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.”

I observe that happiness truly is a choice.  We get up in the morning and we have complete control over how we perceive ourselves and our place in the world; how we look at the day and it’s place in the whole scheme of our life.  I cannot imagine meeting my maker and saying “I wish I worried more.” or “I wish I’d had more stress in my life.”  Can you? 

Today I had to realign my thoughts (again).  The good news is….I realigned my thoughts!

Gregory’s DoWoo – DoWoo #16/365

Last night Walter went in to tuck Greg in and said to “You are the best kid in the world”.   Now – just so you know – this is our regular routine.  Our philosophy is if we tell him, he will believe and then he will know and he will be.  

Gregory responded “And you are the best daddy in the world.  Mommy is the best mommy in the world.  Mya (his dog) is the best….” there was a significant pause here “…Mya in the world.”

MyaWhile Mya is sometimes a rather intense almost 2 year old Belgian Shepherd, she is doing the best she can with what she knows. Gregory recognized that she IS the best Mya!  

Are you being the best YOU?

Desire: Allow: Observe: Receive – DoWoo #15/365

Many teach that whatever you desire will materialize. How is this possible?  AND how does one go about doing what appears to most to be an impossible undertaking. 

impossible

If you believe that it is possible but just don’t know where to start, allow me to recommend you consider the Master Key Experience. I learned about the science behind what we see and feel and think about and then most importantly about the ‘how’ to go about manifesting whatever possibility you can imagine. What you think about does materialize. 

  1. Greg left one of his crocks at Wild Water Kingdom.  I know….how does only 1 crock get left? Turns out he kicked the crocks into the foot well of his back seat AS he was getting into the car to go home. 1 crock did not end up IN the car – but we did not realize it till we were at home in the driveway. We checked the parking lot the next day but no luck. Greg loves his crocks! Walter went to Walmart the following day to see if he could find another pair.  He even had one of the sales associates help look. No crocks left!
  2. I’ve recently released 15 lbs.  My favourite pair of grey leggings fall down now. It’s a great feeling….(sort of).  Unfortunately I’ve not seen these particular, and extremely comfortable, leggings again since I purchased the first pair.

R2A2 – DoWoo #14/365

neriumintternational1During a regional training for my business yesterday I found myself stopping to remind myself to observe without opinion.  Each reminder was a shift in real-time.  I was able to be at peace and truly listen – hearing numerous points which resonated. Met some fantastic people and I thoroughly look forward to seeing how these connections evolve in the years ahead. 

Afterwards I was completing a few errands when I found myself getting frustrated with others (in hindsight – recognizing frustration with myself). This resulted in my being snappy and rude (not an opinion – truly an observation) with my husband and son when I returned home.

b55a6cc90fcad4d053c22be5b8f020889b14c5c447fb841889f50534ee271ebaIt took me till the end of the day to R2A2 (Recognize & Relate; Assimilate & Apply) my actions and realize I needed to halt the negative pattern and get back on track. The point of recognition came when our son and I were having our just-before-bed “family time” cuddle/conversation. We were almost done when he reminded me to “keep my body away from the computer” as daddy had suggested. He then went on to comment that I work too much and maybe I needed to schedule “family time” during the day.  I wholeheartedly agreed and thanked him for the idea. 

We’ve been teaching Greg about enjoying different activities during the day so he does not get too much of any one thing – living with a healthy balance.   Right back at me!   Well done him!

mario-kart-sd-21630396During this morning’s “family time” cuddle/chat I apologized to Greg for not being my best the previous day when I snapped and was grumpy with him. He said “That’s ok”, smiled and then hugged me tight. I explained that I would be better going forward. I would not ‘try’ but I would do it. I thanked him for helping me to become a better person.  I then suggested he teach me how to play Mario Cart so I could do my “family time” in the middle of today.  The rest of our cuddle was spent listening to all the things I needed to know before I picked up the Wii remote.
