EMbrace, EMbark, EMpower your life

Valentine's Day Embrace of US!

elaineMARK — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 01:40:00 GMT

ARE YOU AN enVisionarytm?
Did you receive the "shake up" Call to align with Life?
Are you liviing life worried about the future of you...or your life?
Are you ready to embrace the wonders that are before you?
Wait, are they wonders or worries?
The mysteries of Life are unfolding before US as we speak. It does not even speak, it happens - LIFE that is and it's coursing on its way to the Magnificence of Who we Are. Are you catching on? Are you hopping on board? Or are you just missing the boat?

Well, Life is destined towards it's Greatness, and the World honors more who are "catching on" with Life. There are many who are mystified by the profoundness of events, people, things that throw us out of our comfort zone and throwing us into what is happening. What IS happening? Our very foundations are being shaken up to call forth the enVisionaries that will change the World, Our World, Your World. The enVisionaries are honored people who have recognized their call to change their world, ones who step forth to embrace the very Person they were meant to be. The Greatness of Us is calling to the Core of us. With courage, strength, belief and trust in the New World evolving into Becoming, we stand strong and evolve into OUR GREATER self that beckons for change - great change. And it starts with US!   The profoundness happening is shaping us right now into this. It means letting go of our OLD Self so we can metamorphosize into Who We are Meant to be. Let go of Old beliefs, stories and everything that hold us down to the worry of the future. Yes, even clothing, items, makeup, any thing and everything that hinders the progress of our very Self. And then open to the Magnificence of you evolving.

I believe in this as my story evolved from one of worry, to one of Wonders. The struggle to create and find the person and remember who we are comes from something Greater than the Sum of All our Parts. It is found in the very inner being of our Selves, the wisdom that resides when we quiet the mind of "too much". Come into the You...NOW.

What is Becoming for me is my Greatness evolving. (a Greatness that is inherent in All of Us, regardless of age, color, race, breed, interests, career choice, size of car, or amount of money we have.) The "I AM" paradigm is the stepping into the Greatness of You. Step into YOUR "I AM".

I AM writing and writing of MORE than what I know, but what is the evolution of who we are meant to become. There is a book on the horizon. I AM reading more, of a life that embodies much more than what I thought. And I read because I have decided that no TV is great TV for me. (believe me, I can still access all news on the 'net). And it all started because I lost much through losing a love that encompassed my life and it revolved in the paradigm evident in our world today that involves the meaning of material wealth as the sure sign of success. The acquiring of these "things" that make up who we are. Don't get me wrong, material wealth is all a part of the abundance that is inherent in All. It just does not come first on the list of the New You, the New World. For coming back to the center of Who we are is the Spirit aspect of Us that needs to be revisited. One that does honor our Divine Self and seeing much more and feeling much more, for in this quest to discern why, with what material success I had, that I still felt "disconnected" from what I had before me. It all came tumbling down, the "shake up" call I received to re-examine the Great Life I thought was already before me.

I've embraced the "break up" as one that was a catalyctic event, transforming me into who I am today. It did not come without a lot of change (in me) that had to let go of "old" and let in the "new". It did not come without the crying for the ME I lost, or of the "things" I needed to change of Me so I can see the New before me. It did not come without the realization of much "baggage" that held me down to not being able to see how controlling I was in planning my life. Controlling of people and their reactions, controlling how events were to transpire, controlling what I really couldn't - the future of my life. It was not without seeing this in my life, that I can be here today and speak of the transpirations and transformations occurring in every moment of my life. The magic and miracles of Embracing the very Core, from the very Heart of Who we are.

Embrace every moment as gifts of the present!  Embrace the very aspect that Life is happening as it Should Be, and how we view it is exactly how we see it. In lack, or abundance.

Embrace the enVisionary that awaits to become the Greater You that you have enVisioned!  It is IN YOU to step into YOUR "I AM" and become.

I AM always
evolving into more
of the I AM
I enVision

Hope you do too!!

Namaste!

Great evening Ladies!!

So good to come together for the first night. I know that we all walked away enlightened by the prospect of not only knowing more women of like mind, but with also some thoughts or words that also enriched our own mind and soul. I know I have! Especially the honor of knowing that each of us are continually evolving along with Mother Earth, no matter where we are on this Path. Honor our Self and Know that in our journey to Self-actualization that we do trip now and again, and we also see the light as well. Be good to your Self on this great adventure!! Because it IS fun!! It is an adventure that beckons each to become our Greater Self that we know resides in each of us! Have fun with your Self, Play well with others!!

Just a recap of tonight and our Play & Creative plans for the following week:

1. titles (5) of either books, CD's, DVD's, or other materials you have, (and totally think it would be inspiring for others) that may be exchanged with the others for a period of 4 weeks. (You can submit your list by next Wednesday and I can circulate the compiled respective lists to everyone.) This way we can have those materials there for each to pick up at our next meeting.

2. A creative talent and/or endeavour you deliciously indulge in that inspires your Soul, something that not everyone in your circle of family & friends really know about.

you get to share with us this great thing to help us further nourish our own Self! And NAMASTE for that!

3. Your precious and sacred "I AM" list of great attributes of You....stepping into who you are.....TODAY!!

4. Cheryl Richardson's Week #5 which you will receive next Monday! (we'll have 10 days to practice our Miracles of our soul transformation)

Format for the next gathering!!
I know that tonight, our first night, we opened up the floor for much expressions and contributions of Who We Are and shared Greatnesses of our Self to the rest. It takes great courage and Truth of Self to come out and express, so thank you!The next time there will be an agenda (to keep purpose in perspective) would be to share the above items as listed. Our personal life transformation from the Week 5 Indulgences, share the creative part of Self and then also do a creative project to inspire! And, with any other time left, we can chat more about our personal metamorphosis that occurred over the past two weeks!! Yay, because I love hearing about testing our Miracle transformation powers and the end result.

FUN, FUN, FUN!!
There will also be opportunities to get out and indulge ourselves in little pamperings, a night of dancing or other things, yoga, connecting with Nature, etc. that I'll post on the website and let you know via a quick link to the fun!! Indulge....or not!! It's OK.

In Closing:
Please be Good to yourself and know that if you don't complete everything on our Play & Create schedule, that we (ourselves) are not hard on our Self. These miraculous transformations are part of the Divine higher Self wanting to express that Greatness you have within!! Besides, we're here on Earth to have fun, and our group to have fun with!!

Quick note:
Thanks for sharing some unique talents. I just wanted to brag about Sophia's wisdom. She does Angelic Healing Cards, Mayan Calendar (numerology to find your Soul purpose), and also another numerology chart. She's shy about expressing more of herself (just for now!!) Watch out World!! So for our group, if anyone is interested, can contact her for these AWESOME readings!! I almost choked with surprise that it matched some intuition I received in the last month!!   But hey, you guys know that we ALL are intuitive, right?   Cool deal, because sharing of knowledge is important as well for each of our growth - reader and recipient!       email: sophia_888@hotmail.com

Every moment seen as a teacher

elaineMARK — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 18:16:00 GMT

I met up with a friend yesterday, the third day into the New Year to chat. He had time, as I in between my writing. I decided to venture over, despite still having work to complete (but I really can write forever), especially after having spent 16 hours in front of the computer. Breaks are sometimes seen as a deterrance to do the work needed, but my fingers needed a break, besides the mind. I usually like to plan things, but I realized spontaneity sometimes is key to finding different answers to the questions on your mind at the time. Like a coincidence. A chance to view from another perpspective. And timing couldn't be better.

I find that this one friend of mine is quite the "teacher". My jarring lessons I grasp come immediately and is sensed in his first "bomb" reaction to a simple answer to his "Are you done work yet?" In my artistic, passionate and workaholic side, "I can work forever", instead is taken as a jab. And he asks again. As if we had already made plans!! I reframe my mind for this person and quickly lay true to my feelings since, the truth is essential. I again repeat my truest answer followed by, "why do you ask?" Again, the shortness. I don't understand his shortness towards me. I have learned to answer with truths. Ask, my friend, of what you would like from me - time? Then ask of it. Since I have not heard from him in awhile and the Holidays were mentally stimulating as it was, I was not prepared to receive this shot. Needless to say, I let this one go over... again. And my body is jarred from his simple yet piercing question. I try not to let it bother me as I saved my work on my laptop, left my glass of wine for me to finish later and proceeded to have a quick gander at my disheveled reflection in the mirror before I head out. No makeup, jeans and my fitted warm fleece zipup. I was not my usual "glammed" look, as my girlfriends would call it. Working all day and then to put makeup on later in the night was not something I wanted to indulge in at the moment. Besides, this was my friend that I've known for some time - but, really? I don't think so. He was my first client and friend when I first moved here to the West from the Prairies. He moved away for 6 years and reappeared just 5 years ago. Did I know him? He is quite the walled up guy as unemotional he can be with exposing his heart. We've all had hearts broken before!

I was comfortable with who I was to look the way I did. All the times I did get dressed up, I wasn't complimented, so I felt that it didn't matter. Besides, I didn't want any "different thoughts" going on. I wanted to know my friend, once again. And hope that it transpires to a deeper conversational aspect than the usual surface stuff of schedule and people. It is in the hearts of people that support who we are in the course of our life. I'll need to remember that we are each part of the people who can influence greatly upon others.

Any emotional aspect of his Self was avoided at all costs and the perennial questions of "what's new?" rang continually through the night. "What else is new?" I really felt like one of his clients he talks to everyday. With the proverbial one or three word responses after my long but inspiring depiction of spending the Holidays with people other than family, and how changing one life through inspiring words can alter the course of their life and journey. Pretty deep if you might say. Although, for some reason I was not satisfied with the response of "Good" after all this. Actually I felt quite uncomfortable. My friendship was something that wasn't taking its right course, becasue this person has been so accustomed to tuning out some of life's daily conversations with others and expressing of Self wasn't coming through with me. What kind of Influence am I to not be able to connect with this one friend of mine? I ran through my head all the conversations I've had with close friends in the last little while and realized that for the most part, each party walked away with great and inspiring thoughts and words that allowed us to realize the Greatness in the expressions of ourselves and to be authentic was a gift. For each moment was an opportunity to teach us something about ourselves and each other as human beings and spiritual beings for that matter.

I looked back at my friend, and didn't say anything. Was this the person that I thought so highly of? That I even have a crush on? I felt so small and not MY Greatness**. Each time that I bring this up, he can be indignant, even judgemental. Projecting these feelings of "lack" to me in the sense as if it was mine. If it was mine, I can at least make the necessary steps to bring myself to awareness of this. But I felt more sorry for him than I was mad. For I could see he wasn't open to hearing anything that would be of a deeper emotional area he could be in. And reality is, that he does not even want to go there...at all. Even asking about his parents great relationship was not something to be broached. What do you do? I think I wrack my brain for the most part as to how I can help this one friend of mine.

I have to say, that in that conversation (where I talked 97.5% of the time) there was an inkling of intrigue, sparkle in his eyes in relation to the story about "opening the eyes of a tradionalist Jewish woman". Changing the course of life in one person by the simplest act of kindness and openness. How the energies from this alone transformed me and this woman's view on being open and authentic, even though our time together was spent hanging holiday ornaments. haha I held on to the belief of an open heart, kind words and joyful thoughts to bring transformation to most any situations, and most they do. I left with satisfaction and warmth as I'm sure she did too along with the fashion tips and store locations to some of the great fashion finds! Lots of great amazing stories appeared after this grand experiment of mine. I think I'll continue this experiment :) Hence, this friend of mine is part of this grand experiment, although he is a Grander one. One that is cherished as much as it is a pain sometimes, for really, he reminds me totally of my little brother in his character!

When I look at the depth of relationships I have with my other friends, I am brought to the great satisfaction of knowing that I contribute positively not only to their lives but to ones around them. As the same great energies of life bring me knowledge through others, I appreciate each and every one of them and they DO know how they have contributed to my life, especially the Great lesson of 2005! I am humbled to know of the path I allowed and surrendered to last year, some of the Great life lessons were presented to me in an altruistic fashion. By allowing the tragicness of the event & feelings to course through me and for me to delve into them with faith. For when that happened along with Intent, I was ready for the great path to lead me to where I needed to go.

Relinquish control over matters that you have no control over, and know that everything is happening as it should be.

I did enjoy the night although the tickle fight was unexpected. Then later as I thought about it, it was probably a way for him to release happy endorphins without having to express through words, but laughter. And I might add that him singing in the shower before we continued the night was the cutest thing. (working all day and quickly preparing dinner without a cleanup of himself was unusual, hence the shower). Again, expression of Self to me was hard, but finding his Lightness in expression made me realize that we all have our expressions and allowed to be expressed when time is right.

I think this one friend of mine is a constant teacher, or just a plain old pain in the side. I try to leave with better feelings than when I left. I try to leave with inspiring thoughts in my head as well as theirs. Go figure. In this life, the love I thought is not, especially when you step back and view your Self and others in these moments. So the path continues.

**Greatness is in All people. The expression of your Highest Self, in the most Authentic manner.

Introducing.....ME

elaineMARK — Sun, 18 Dec 2005 23:11:00 GMT

Here it is..."'tis the Season" once again. It's a time to reflect on the year passed and to set our goals for the coming year. Reflecting on my year passed, it was one that contained many aspects of growth that I CHOSE to receive. When I say that, I could have taken it as one that was full of grief, or one that enlightened me to my path in life. I chose to follow the high road. The following is a short exerpt of my jounal to bring to "light" my path in the last year.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is elaineMARK and it has been 6.5 months since I had profoundly picked up Cheryl Richardson's Book - The Unmistakable Touch of Grace one fateful night as I attempted to calm my anxiety from the stresses of a fresh breakup with a Love. I was out doing necessary grocery shopping with my Aunt who I was visiting in Vancouver on my hiatus from Life. What calms me are words - reading, writing, anything that would fill. The book aisle is where I headed in the storm of shoppers that was sure to crowd the already growing anxiety that welled in me. The many books that called to me were whittled down to the One that resonated well with me, and that was Cheryl's book. My soul welled with feelings I needed to grab hold of and spending the $20 was more than I could handle at that time, but I did it for my heart and my well-being. The journey has been quite tumultuous, but I can now say that I have reclaimed my Power that I gave away in my relationships and have grown to Being more and being everything I had envisioned for myself and continue to Grow into the ideal and foreseen Me that I have dreamed for myself.

The next phase of my Life is to facilitate and guide other women towards the transformation that I had the "privilege" to go through in the last little while. I am not an inspirational speaker, nor an author, nor a guru of any sorts....but I do look forward to the day that I can self-profess to acknowledge all those parts of me that can grow into those areas I'd like to. And in order to do so, sharing and guiding and EMpowering others brings me along the path towards this. I Believe in the Greatness within All of Us and for coming together as EMpowering women, each of our energies and encouragement allows each One of Us to shine and Become All that We had Intended for Each of Us. If you are interested in Being a Part of the Uplifting and Inspiring times that we will spend together as Awesome Human Beings, I look forward to hearing back from you. There is no set schedule as of yet, but am looking forward to hearing suggestions and times as to when getting together would fit in with All of Us.

I am just reflecting briefly on the year just passing and the journey of my Self started many years ago and will be part of my book, slated for ......whenever.:) This blog was short, but shall continue. Look forward to comments.
