Today

Today I wondered why I have not been on here in a while and I realized it was the perfectionist hat I have been wearing. You know the one that makes your mind go in the opposite direction of your goals and dreams. The one that says, "If I can't do it all, or if I can't do it very well then I might as well not do it". Hmmmm.

Perfection, procrastination, distractions, avoidance, limits, excuses, etc... Don't these all come from the same place? Fundamental darkness doesn't always have to come out in big ways to be present. The simple things we do or don't do can and do have an impact in our lives regardless if it comes from fundamental darkness or our innate light.

I tried to convince myself that I would have to write a certain way. Write about certain things and the truth is I don't. The truth is I am free to do what I wish. I am liberated! We are as bound as we feel/believe we are or as liberated.

I asked today: What is your vision? What legacy do you wish to leave here on earth and in the lives of the ones you love? What actions do you take daily to be the change you wish to see in the world? And that brought me here.

I wish to be an active participant in this world. To be a part of the changes I wish to see. I desire to leave a place where people feel changed somehow for the better.

My vision is to inspire, to challenge, to awaken that beauty that lies within each person I meet.
I hope to make you laugh, make you think and inspire you to accept your greatness.

The only way I can live my vision and leave my legacy is by showing up and by participation. The same goes for you. Don't die with your music still in you because somehow you don't have time or energy to do it "right" or "great" or completely... put out as much effort as you can and give it your best. And your best is good enough. The more you love and accept yourself exactly as you are, the more you leave room for yourself to improve and to grow. So... get out there and start to do what you love and have fun!

In love and light.
Have a very glorious night.

Enjoy music that impacts your heart and soul daily.

Appreciation will change your life.

When you appreciate everything, everyone and every moment your life will improve!

I'm working on a post of a specific story to share that will back up what I am saying but I am fully exhausted after a 14 hour day of family, friends, coaching etc... So, I'm afraid if I post something I have written in this state... It might be just jibberish. LOL.

So, I saved it and will work on it tomorrow to share with you. Whoop Whoop!

In the meantime.... :)

Think of everything, every moment and everyone you have to appreciate in your life. Be creative, it's really easy.

Are you breathing? Great! Appreciate that. etc...

Have a very prosperous week.

The beginning of this Blog journey

Hi. I’m Jody Gonzalez.

I’m starting this blog to voice ideas, opinions, and observations and to share knowledge and resources with you and so much more.

This is an exciting adventure and I am really looking forward to hearing from you.

So often we go on through our life with so much to say, or for some, so little to say, yet what we forget or neglect to do is to really connect with others.

I love to tell stories and use analogies to express ideas. I feel stories really help many people have a way to visualize and feel what the experience is like, what the idea means, or to see the bigger picture.  Besides, often it’s just fun or interesting.

Imagine a collage of images that show people that represent the tailor park “white trash”, black ghetto, the Latino barrio, the high class wealthy (all races), people that have represented peace throughout the past 100 years or so, children (all races) adults (all races, ages, classes, etc)… this collage would represent me… or the me I’d like to be. We are all a product of our upbringing, our environment, our DNA, and especially of our thoughts, our decisions and our beliefs. I grew up and have lived my life in many cultural settings. My college career was spent studying cultures of current and of ancient times.

I have learned different languages and lived deeply in many cultures. Culturally I am very multicultural. In my lifetime of study, observation, participation and experiences I have found far more commonalities than differences.

I have also spent much of my life studying and observing and participating in many different religions and spiritual ways of life. My primary experiences have been of Buddhism (many secs), Christianity (many secs), Native American ways (of various tribes ), Wicca and metaphysical studies. As well I have learned small amounts of many others.

The theories of Quantum Physics intrigue me greatly and I study in this area as often as I can. I have learned that so much of what we study is similar to languages, if you don’t have people to practice with/talk with/share with, then so much doesn’t sink in or you may not learn as much. Well, at least that is how I feel about my own studies. There have not been enough people for me to share my thoughts and ideas with on this subject so please share if you are into quantum physics.  

Plus I study on what some may call the “supernatural” or “paranormal”, I just call it all gifts or just life. From the time I was a child I have been gifted with sight (beyond my eyes), I have been gifted as empathy (and at times this has felt very much like a curse. But that was long ago), and I have been gifted with the connection to animals. I am not sure what I think or even believe in all of the research and things shared out there in the media, but I am open to talking about it and learning what I can.

I have been to school & private lessons for massage, Reiki (Usui) and other forms of natural healing. This area of study continues to be a focus for me.  

And to add to the mix, I love studying about business, developing a prosperity mindset, universal laws such as “The Law of Attraction” and many others. I enjoy being an entrepreneur and supporting those that dive into the journey of financial independence.

We each are far more connected than we realize. We each impact the earth, peace, and many other things in life than we could imagine. And we each have far more personal power, value and love than we may comprehend.

I truly look forward to connecting with you. I want to learn more about the world I am connected to! We are mirrors of each other, what reflection will we see in each other? What lessons will we share? What beauty will we reveal? Ah, the journey is so great.

Peace be with you.
