Loyalty is a Choice

The most destructive of weapons is not the spear or the siege cannon, which can wound a body and demolish a wall.
The most terrible of all weapons is the word, which can ruin a life without leaving a trace of blood, and whose wounds never heal.

Let us, then, be the masters of our tongue and not the slaves of our words.
Even if words are used against us, let us not enter a battle that cannot be won.
The moment we place ourselves on the same level as some vile adversary, we will be fighting in the dark, and the only winner will be the Lord of Darkness.

Loyalty is a pearl among grains of sand, and only those who really understand its meaning can see it.

Thus the Sower of Discord can pass the same spot a thousand times and never see the little jewel that keeps together those who need to remain united.

Loyalty can never be imposed by force, fear, insecurity or intimidation.
It is a choice that only strong spirits have the courage to make.

And because it is a choice, it will never tolerate betrayal, but will always be generous with mistakes.
And because it is a choice, it withstands time and passing conflicts.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holy-Days of every kind, Here's one way

If you feel drawn, let it enter your Being, releasing any old ideas of constriction or limitation and returning Your true essence as expansive, radiant Light.

"Divine Beloved, Change Me into someone
who can give with complete ease and abundance,
knowing You are the unlimited Source of All.

Let me be an easy open conduit for Your prosperity.
Let me trust that all of my own needs are
always met in amazing ways
and it is safe to give freely as my heart guides me.

And equally, please Change Me into someone
who can feel wildly open to receiving.
Let me know my own value, beauty and
worthiness without question.
Let me allow others the supreme pleasure of giving to me.
Let me feel worthy to receive in every possible way.

And let me extend kindness to all who need,
feeling compassion and understanding
in even the hardest situations.

Change me into One who can fully love, forgive
and accept myself... so I may carry your Light
without restriction.

Let everything that needs to go, go.
Let everything that needs to come, come.
I am utterly Your own.

You are Me.
I am You.
We are One.

All is well.

Has God Gained Weight Lately?

I had a life-changing experience yesterday.  It is too complex to share right now.  I will at some point :)  For now, the jest of it IS this: when you are WILL-ing to be and act from where you are most vulnerable, and you are WILL-ing to surrender to your experience of this truth, you WILL be heard by the Universe in full.  The right people, forces, influences, energies WILL align for you; along with all that you need, at the exact time, to propel you forth in the RIGHT direction, for your greatest good, that will also serve the Universe at the highest level.

The only condition is that, you must remain attached to your desired experience, that, which feels RIGHT at your core--all while remaining completely DEtached from what the outcome would look like.  Such Magic occurred yesterday.   Instead of the tides, circumstances, I have been seemingly fighting against, that really wore me out, put me out of my element, and only increased my insecurities and fears, I surrendered, and went with a decision, completely unlikely of the former, and I found open doors.  I found kindness, light, and open arms of support in my purpose.  What is more, the first thing this morning, I opened my eyes to an email, in response to all this.  So many details paving me a new path to step on and follow

I let go, I let God.  I opened without, even realizing at the time, to something that was unknown, subtle, gentle, yet powerful and beautiful; and it answered.

As I contemplated this morning, I could not help but burst out laughing, wondering if God had gained weight lately?  You can tell I am a living example of what I teach at the physical realms.  I pictured God with slight love handles.  I.e. when we watch great movies, we are likely snacking on something comforting at the same time.  If we do this too much, too often, without counter balancing the habit, we can, and likely will, gain a little extra weight.  I imagined God watching our human movies, while snacking, and being amused.  The 'independent' busy-bees, wanting to make it all happen on our own, working hard to prove it to the world, and to every one else, that we can, and WIL do it alone...on our own; needing nothing or no one.  I also think it is funny; we all do it.

Take with you this from my above ramble: TRUST that in your heart, in your purest, most sincere connection to what your own definition is of God, it is there with you, it is One with you.  You are One with the greatest Perfection and most lively force of your existence.  Let this be.  Marry this force.  Marry the best in you, so you can and are ONE, with it all.   Let this beautiful force drive you up every day to the best you can be, do, and have, and experience.

YOU CAN create an exceptional LIFE

For countless people, the words of Louise Hay have served as a beacon, leading them out of the darkness of despair and into the light of a better life. Cheryl Richardson is one of the many individuals whom Louise has greatly influenced . . . before going on to become a best-selling author herself. 

So what happens when these two combine their collective wisdom into one book? 
The result is what you're now holding in your hands. As Louise and Cheryl engage in a series of empowering and intimate conversations, you'll feel as if you're simultaneously having lunch with your best friends and also attending a master class put on by two leaders of the self-empowerment movement. 

As they travel throughout North America and Europe together, Louise and Cheryl discuss a wide range of topics, including the importance of loving ourselves and our bodies; aging consciously; bringing true prosperity and abundance to the world; manifesting positive relationships-both with family and friends and in the workplace; and facing death in a dignified and peaceful way. 

These two amazing women are living proof that the spiritual principles they discuss in these pages really work. As you read, you'll discover that you, too, have the ability to create an exceptional life! 

A woman's worth

I had, what I'd call a spark of an eye-opening moment of truth, yesterday.  I was walking in nature, like I often do, contemplating the different physical appearances of people.  I.e. the bodies, what they reflect, what I can read when I look at a person's body (including my own), personal beliefs, self/body image etc.  As it is known, my journey to my diverse activities today, all started due to being 50+ lbs over weight 10+ years ago.  Yes.   Since I can recall, I always battled with the pounds, feeling good, believing I was beautiful, knowing I was in healthy shape, most importantly, that what I looked like was NOT necessarily equal to my actual worth, as a person, and so much more.

Fitness, beauty, wellness, health are not over-night changes, or the matter of switching things ON, or OFF.  These are all life-long refining of what we believe about ourselves, that changes daily, as we go.  Whose cumulative effects only can be seen when one reflects on one's journey.

Having said that, I have not always done the healthiest, most perfect practices, to try to 'measure up' to the expectations of the world I lived in, and hence created.  However, as I knew better, I have always done better.  This has never been more true, than now.  I realized this yesterday, through my own body, and my reflection on my own journey through and with it.  The beauty of it all is, that at this time of my life, I am in better shape, physically, and spiritually, than at any of the times I was competing, on stage, in the spot-light, and so on.  The reason for that is, that I now do all of what I do, for me, the highest within me!!!!  Not for reasons outside of me; i.e. a competition, an appearance, a photo shoot, someone else, who may have been displeased with me, my appearance, etc.  Trust me, of those, there had been many.

At this time in my life, I do it all, and more, for me.  I spend my time being closer, and closer to my bliss, and actually creating that.  It is a slow, and details process of amazing transformation what I am about and who I am being and becoming.  It is the intertwining perfectionist dance of the past, and the present; some hesitance, and a lot of courageous moving forth into the unknown life has to offer.  Hence, as I allow, I meet amazing people, and enclose in my heart, more, and more amazing experiences.

Knowing that no matter what I had to endure at certain points of my life, no matter how hard it seemed at times, all served me to gather and gain a lot of self worth.  All those experiences as I am learning of myself today, have made me stronger, better, have taught me to expect more and more of myself, and not to put up with anything, or anyone less, than what makes me happy.

For the world another's appearance, may only be captured as a pretty face, a sexy body, a beautiful picture.  Unless you can see the whole picture of one's being,  you will never know how remarkable a person truly IS, as a whole.

52 weeks of bodily bliss... week 22: Check in, check on...say "I DO" to YOU!!!!!

I am hungry. Are you hungry?

I coach many clients online and in person changing their lifestyle and small habits that create the overall picture, that at times fall short of what they truly want, and settles them into a life less than they are capable of.  The most gruesome area of all is the diet, the foods to eat, the portions to choose, the cravings to conquer, the plan to stick to, the reason you are watching your diet and I could go on.

When one is on a monitored eating plan, it has to be followed. It is a very simple process.  I assess you, gather any related information you may find important to share with me.  I take a day or two to work on your plan.  All you need to do is stick to the plan follow it from A-Z, and with my coaching, that HAS to be ongoing and accounted to, you get to live the changes you signed up for at the start.

Simple? Very? Easy? Far from it.

One of the challenges that can cause one to fall off the plan, is their hungry nature. It takes time to fall off track it will also take time to get back on the train and ride it to the destination of choice, great overall health, and a beautifully functioning and looking body.

MONKOVACS@GMAIL.COM is my email for all those wishing to put the END on their restless quest for change.  It is possible, it exists, it can be yours--if you are willing to commit to act nothing short of your own interest.

Love,
Monika
