My blog is normally focused on important women’s health issues, but I realized that for complete balance, it was also important to write about spiritual health. For the next few weeks, I’m going to focus on balancing mind, body and soul. I’m not a religious person, but I do have deep spiritual roots. I have always been inspired by people, as well as the world and its beauty. For the next several weeks I’d like to share my spiritual beliefs with my Cool News audience.
Many people ask me why I am always so positive and upbeat? How have you successfully done all the things that you’ve done in life? I learned this lesson in my early twenties and thirties. During that time I had several bouts with cancer. I was forced to shift my thinking from fear based to love based thinking. This was of course my method of survival…really it was my only option at the time. Living with an open loving heart was indeed a choice. When I made this choice, I firmly decided to try to always be open to opportunities by keeping an open heart. I chose not to be afraid of what the future would bring. In other words, as long as my choices were made with a loving heart, I was not afraid of the consequences. For many years, rather than going directly each morning to the newspaper or news, where I was bombarded with negative energy, I would meditate or read inspirational thought provoking passages. I would pray each morning that the day would only bring positive things into my life. That’s when the miracles started flowing my way. There are some people that say I lead a charmed life. Everything I touch turns to gold, but I look at it as merely living life with a large, open loving heart.
In order to change my life, I slowly had to change my way of thinking. After being taught to think a certain way since childhood, it wasn’t easy, but eventually an open, positive heart became a natural way of being. Every day, I would meditate and ask the universe to release all the negative thoughts in my head and inspire me with with positive thoughts and energy. This change brought radiance and joy into my life. By letting go of any pain and allowing the spirit of God to make me strong. Slowly any darkness was replaced by light and the daily miracles followed. Life isn’t about what happens to you, but rather what you do with it and how you think about it.
