“Some would say, “Then the feeling of guilt that I have must mean that I am doing something evil or wrong.” But we want you to understand that your negative emotion simply means that the thought that is vibrating within you does not match the Vibration of your Source.”

Esther Hicks

“In other words, guilt is such a wasted emotion. It’s like regret — you cannot do anything about something that was, so soothe yourself in your now.

Guilt, regret — get rid of them.”

Abraham-Hicks

“Guilt or fear only exists when you do not understand that you have the power to project thought and that the Universe will respond.”

Abraham-Hicks

“I don’t believe in guilt. Live on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person. You should live completely free.”

Angelina Jolie

“Any mother could perform the jobs of several air traffic controllers with ease.”

Lisa Alther

“Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.”

Meryl Streep

Is it me or am I the only supermom who feels “pressure” to order a certain package for school picture day?

 

Lemme explain.

 

Every September, right around now, we get school picture forms to fill out for our five kiddos.  And every year, without fail, I feel a twinge of guilt if I order a “chintzy” package.  You know, the one with the least amount of photos.

 

Even though I know better for two reasons:

 

1. I know that guilt is the dark side and it zaps creative divine energy.

 

And

 

2.  If I order the “deluxe” package, those photos sit in the drawer and gather dust.

 

In fact, truth be told, no matter what package I order, those photos usually gather dust. Only because I take about a gazillion photos and make a photo album every month on shutterfly for my kids, with quotes that they say sprinkled throughout, and those photos are always so much better than “the school photo.”

 

The “school photo package” is so nostalgic, though. Born in a day when there weren’t digital cameras and shutterfly. So you just can’t not order the school photos.

 

But do I really have to order the deluxe package?  ;)

 

Have the best day ever!
Namaste!

Super-Mom Sharon Desmond:

 

Gratitude. How do you learn it? Or better yet, how do you teach it?  That is my quandary these days with my eight-year-old.  He wants the new Wii U, no wait, Xbox, or is it Playstation 3?  We are not quite ready to open our children to the unbelievable world of gaming, so I turn my focus to how truly lucky he is to live in this wonderful part of the world, to have a roof over his head and food on the table.  I explain to him that there are countless people, children, in Boston alone that are homeless and don’t know where their next meal is going to come.  Silence…then he says, “I am going to save up for Wii U”.  Hmmm. Not quite the reaction I was going for, yet very similar to one I probably gave my parents 30 years ago in a similar fashion.
I like to think I live a life of gratitude.  I pray every night to thank God that I have all that I have and ask that I can truly live in that moment because the next moment it can be gone.  The life of many people is altered in one quick moment and we realize with a stark reality that it could happen to us.  I am well aware of that.  No matter what happens in my future, I pray that I can accept it for what it is: a learning experience, one that may be quick to learn or take very long to understand.  I do believe that things don’t happen to us, they happen for us.  When really difficult things affect my life, sometimes it is hard to keep that thought close, but I try and that’s really all we can do.

 

These are some yoga concepts that stick with me and give me peace in my hectic and chaotic life.  My yoga practice opened up the meaning of these concepts.  It’s like looking at a hidden picture for hours and then suddenly AHA, you see what you are meant to see.  I feel free from each yoga moment, on and off the mat, and I have increased confidence in myself.   Each situation I have to face, from the critical to the everyday teaching moment with my sons, teaches me something that I can share with others, or take inside as knowledge for my future as a wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend and woman of today.  For now, I live my life of gratitude, teaching by example and hoping for the best.
