DUE TO MY SHOW BEING SUDDENLY TAKEN OFF OF THE STATION I WORKED AT...I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO BRING AUTHOR TOM CATTON TO YOU ON AIR...WELL NOT YET ANYWAY... ;)

I JUST FINISHED HIS AMAZING BOOK AND AM BLESSED TO HAVE A PLATFORM OF MY OWN TO SHARE WITH YOU, MY FELLOW 'HUMAN ROCKSTAR BAD ASS WARRIORS' I FIND ALONG THE JOURNEY...


at times we want to be a victim, are down, feel alone & believe the universe is NOT working in our favor. we MUST trust that an amazing & beautiful synchronicity will ALWAYS show up to remind us that life is beautiful, we are never alone & that EVERYTHING is the way it is supposed to be.

we may not understand 'Life' in the moment. that is ok. maybe we are not supposed to. it is not about always understanding, for that is what the limits of the mind want us to do... it is being with in it...when we are truly within life there is no need to understand for the understanding is provided for us.

if we open our hearts to a greater awareness & the moment itself, we will know and feel we are always being loved , protected & cared for by something that is not easily able to describe. it is when we surrender and open our hearts to all hat is and what ever is... alas the miracles happen.

Thank you author and Hawaiian dweller, Tom Catton for being in my "flo" today. i am blessed by you!

i am blessed and so grateful for the synchronicity that lead me to you...Randy Rogers, and the beauty that life brings. we may not always have a plan but when we live within the flow of the action...life happens and provides!

although never an addict of drugs, alcohol, etc....aren't we all an addict of something???? i know i am and i am willing to bet you are too!

THIS BOOK ROCKS AND I SUGGEST EVERYONE READING IT...WHAT AN GREAT JOURNEY WE ARE ALL ON...and we are never alone!

LOVED LOVED IT AND I FEEL MUCH MORE AT PEACE, WITH ALL THAT IS, IN THIS MOMENT OF NOW!

inspired while sitting in the sun, with my most beloved MAUI BABE, in the motor city on a beautiful STILL summer day

Oh Hawaii ...are you calling my name? you keep showing up!

An email sent to YOU saying THANK YOU for ALLLL your support! It has been OVERWHELMING, in a great way!! xo



Hello,

As you may already know, or not, my show at CBS has ended as of Friday August 19. Due to reasons outside of my control, CBS has decided to go another way with their programming from 3-PM ET. This was a complete shock to me but understand business is business and everything is the way it needs to be. It had nothing to do with me or my show. For now, they are still playing encores.

Although no one is more sad than me to not be able to connect with you everyday, I know that the universe has bigger plans for me...for us. Now I can work on my TV plans and my book as well as a new venue for the show!

In the meantime, I am looking for a new home for Lisa J. NOW! that is bigger and will be easier for more people to access around the world. I believe that there is something bigger and better out there so that together we can reach more people and bring awareness to a crazy place we call Earth. :)

I wanted to send you a personal email THANKING YOU so much for all of your support over the days, months and years that you have listened and been apart of my work. Getting to know you has been a pleasure, honor and a highlight in my life.

As I was taught by my beautiful "Peeps", "Without YOU there would be no me and without me there would be no you". YOU have brought more to my life than you will ever know and TOGETHER we have grown, learned, laughed, cried and loved!

This is a note that some of you may have seen on my Facebook that I posted to the many responses I received in support of Lisa J. NOW!:

"You have touched my heart over the years in ways you will never possibly imagine, each one of you. The people I have connected with on the show and the ones I never talked too... but I KNOW are there everyday listening and growing with all of us! You are MY ROCKSTARS and TOGETHER we will move onward and upward on the magic carpet ride. Continue to follow me on Facebook and I will find a home for all of us soon...I PROMISE. Remember I am still doing readings and sessions in my office in Detroit or by phone anywhere in the world. NOW I have a lot of time to get to EVERYONE so don't hesitate to call or SPREAD THE WORD about MY PRIVATE READINGS. www.lisajnow.com

I love you all and APPRECIATE YOU and ALL your support thru the years...you have been there for me in ways you will NEVER KNOW...we are a TEAM...I wanted team "Lisa J."...and you ARE all on it! Time to kick it into high gear! XOXOXOX WE ARE "HUMAN SPIRITUAL ROCKSTAR BAD ASS WARRIORS"...time to persevere"!!


I know you can not call in anymore for 'Messages from Spirit' or for the Wisdom Deck presently, but I am available for private sessions at www.lisajnow.com.

I just included a 30 minute phone session at a lower price if you can not do the 45 minutes.

I am available usually within the week, am now VERY flexible with my times and can spend more time with you one on one. I suppose all clouds have a silver lining.

i just saw another raccoon on the way home tonight (this time happy to be in my bed and not a tent surrounded by them lol )...

i asked it what it wanted to tell me on the beautiful full moon....it told me that everything will be OK...and even though my back is tattooed with 3 lil birds....its ok...because now it is time for a racoon to 'have my back'. i said ok...whatever YOU say mr. racoon...and i thanked it for bringing me messages.

you see...what i fear the most was and is myself and my power. the raccoons...although they were in my camp to eat my food last week ( and there were a lot of them), were telling me that 'everything lil thing is going to be ok and to not be afraid of who i am...they tell me that the raccoon mask is not a way to hide what they dont want us to see...their mask are a way for them to adapt to any given situation. they tell me that they are smart, funny, witty, loving, kind, and adaptable! adaptable....now there is a concept...go with the flow...see what happens...let go...no worries...by wearing a mask we are able to adapt and change to situations that need adapting too....

funny how the thought of our own power can be so scary...but looking at others in there power is so empowering....we are so interesting us humans.

sooooo.....on this full moon...use the brilliant light from the magnificent light in the sky to shine upon your inner most fears and release them to the wild. be afraid...feel it...understand and respect it then let it go! the light from the dark sky will be the instrument to release, the light will release you and the darkness will transmute and keep you safe...you are always safe!

it is time to take an honest look at who you are, where you are going and remove any rode blocks that stand in the way of you and your dreams....we only have so many chances to blow out the birthday candles and make a wish....when i blow out my final candle my greatest wish is not for what i WISH (LACK) i had but a reflection back on all that i created, loved and learned. please use the energies around you to heal, transform and uplift you to the next place in your evolution.

life is short. we have much to do in the less than a 100 years (give or take) we have to be all that we can be. we are given each other, the planets, the animals and many energetic helpers to guide us and help us to become all that we can be....

enjoy your journey rockstars....

one thing is for sure....there will not be another one like this one....( ok some of you can stop cheering now lol lol ...if it's not this journey....it will be sure to be another so enjoy the one you have)!

SO I WENT TO A FUNERAL TODAY....



it is very interesting. i wish i could say that i was more sad...but the fact is that i am so happy for the person that has left their physical body it is hard to be sad for them. now of course i am so sad for my best friends and their families. i am sad because the world needs more women like aunt Bea! i am sad because we don't understand the death is birth and renewal. i am sad that we feel so sad. i am sad because it makes me miss the people in my life who are not here in the physical...but in that moment...i feel such peace for the person who once lived as we are and is now living in another way!



so, i sat there and closed my eyes and i just felt. i felt what was going on around me. i felt the sadness. i felt the joy. i felt the love. i felt the void. i felt the unhappiness of those living who wished they had done more with their lives. i felt the sorrow of the families. i felt the celebration of life on the other side. i felt the song that raised our spirits and brought us to tears. i felt the memories of all those packed into the chapel. i felt the truth of spirit and the lies of humanity. i felt the unity and the separation. i felt the separation that ignorance, religion and racism bring..needless to say i felt a lot in 45 minutes.



i started thinking on my way home...how do you sum up a lifetime in only 45 minutes? aunt bea had been through so much in her 88 years that it is hard to even know where to start. she buried her 2 husbands and 2 children...where do you start with that? she lived though...she lived and shined brighter than most that i have met.



where do you start with all the little things that happened throughout her lifetime that may or may not have brought her to her knees begging for grace and brought her to the heavens where she found new and stronger faith.



i was thinking of all the situations and people in my life that have hurt me. i thought of all the people and places that bring me joy. i thought of all the people in my life who i can trust who REALLY have my back and i can call a friend. i thought of all the people were not friends and that hurt me and the people who blow smoke up my skirt and pretend to care. i thought of the people, who in some way or another, have brought such immense pain into my life but were my teachers and played significant roles (nonetheless) and how much i loved the ones that have hurt me the most. i thought about how amazing each and every person and place are and is in making up my story as i go through this lifetime. i thought about how much i have learned in only a few months...let alone the past almost 43 years. the day to day at times can feel so overwhelming and at times just to hard to get through at times...so we stay in our moment waiting for the next moment...and we breathe! we think of the big picture. we think of ourselves. we think of how we affect other people. we think of the whole. we think of our place in the world...we become 'our own' place in the world.



i wondered when i die will people say i lived with class, grace and i triumphed over pain? that i taught people something and that i left the world a better place than when i came in. i wondered, as so many of you wonder, about the things in my life i wish i would have done different...or the choices that i have made. i sat as i honored aunt bea...wondering about life. my life...your life...aunt beas life. i concluded that all i really want to do i live! the ironic thing about me saying that is all i ever really wanted to do is be the one who got to go home. life is hard. it is painful and my whole life all i wanted to do was go home..i felt so separate from something i just did not know what. i am not going to kill myself. i am not unhappy. i am not miserable and sad. i just missed this part of me that i could never put my finger on. but then a funny thing happened when i began to feel again. i realized sometime ago that i was already where i wanted to be. my heart and my soul was not separate from but is a part of all that is. i did not need to feel home sick. i did not need to long for what was. i only needed to tap into what i already was and where i was at that moment. when i was able to do that i realized that that part of home was within me all a long.



today as i sat smiling, hearing aunt bea say to me, " be happy i am finally where i am supposed to be...and it feels good to be home". i knew she meant home with her family. she did her time here on earth (i was a little jealous i must add lol). as my beautiful friend mike said in her eulogy, "she came here to feel the joy"...88 years of joy may i add and that is a lot of joy.



aunt bea lived....boy did she ever! she triumphed over life. she came to win and she won. now she is out of this body and onto other things. as my lifelong best friends are at the cemetery, right now, placing her no more needed body into the ground....i sit here where i am guided to be, at home, with my "stuff", all alone psychically...but spiritually home with aunt bea and all of our loved ones around me reminding me to live; to take in the pain, the beauty, the sights and the smells and most of all...the feelings of being human...of what we call being 'alive'. we are truly blessed.



you see, aunt bea is everywhere all the time in everything and so are we!



so how do you sum up 88 years in 45 minutes? you just say she lived. she loved and let us love her. she brought beauty into the world and sang as beautifully as a lark bird. i know my life is forever different because of aunt bea and her being in this world at the same time as me....if only for a moment...her being here taught us it was all "ok" and "God brings us that in which we need".



i wonder, as so many people do, what they will say about me when i die! what will be my legacy and what my children and maybe grandchildren will say? i strive for people to remember that i lived authentic and real...that although FAR from perfect, i loved with all my heart...maybe too much if that is possible. that my heart broke easy and that i at times trusted people to much, but again that is because i saw their soul and not their humanity. that i to trumped over heart break and remembered who i was. that i taught one person something that they did not know before and i paved the way for others to live their best life that they could . that i forgave and rose above and that i too had class and grace. that i was one ' rockstar spiritual bad ass warrior' and that i crossed over finding my voice, standing up for myself and always being able to stand within my own truth. that i was not afraid to live anymore and i found my wings to fly!



now you see why aunt bea was so amazing...she continues to inspire and to set your heart free from wherever she may be!



it has been asked before:

what do you want your legacy to be?

what do you want your 45 minutes to say about the person you were and how you lived your life?

EGO...love it!!!




Lisa,

How do I work with my EGO? I have found over the past several days I have a very HEALTHY, HAPPY one. And I keep hearing "Arrogance"???? But I can't get anything more than that? Ugh, the psychic shrapnel is a pain in the arse.


My answer:
i love devils advocate...that is how we learn...that is why we have black and white, good and bad, up and down, right from left, and ying and yang, blue and red, etc... they are always there playing devils advocate right?



Ego: you can not resist what is because it is your teacher and a part of you…like it or not! use ego to apply the right leverage and it to advance you rather than limit you. Ego is perception....your ego’s only purpose is to kick your ASS and keep you in check.

Say, “thank you so much...i understand that you are here teaching me ___________now that i know this, i will work with it”.

A perfect example of ego…your ego telling you you are ‘arrogant’ for knowing what you know. your ego is telling you you are ‘arrogant’ because, “Who are you to be ______________” ???

That limited thinking is what your tapes are playing from a lifetime of being told, “who are you to be ____________________??? Don’t be _____________! Be like _______________. If you are like _____________ you are _______________”.

Acknowledge the obvious elephant in the room....ask listen and learn... say to yourself, “I am me to be me”....”I am ok to be ___________ and as a matter of fact I was born to be ______________. Thank you for reminding me because I was forgetting who I WAS”.

Now ego did its job by nudging you and kicking you in the butt to get YOU to the point of accepting who you are. It will continue to kiss your butt until you get it….don’t wonder why its not working…it is…are you learning?

ego is not the enemy...it plays its role…end of story! it is learning to check with yourself...working with yourself in all the moments to find the balance and discover things about yourself that have been hidden...it is there teaching you and getting you to learn to listen to WHO you are...not what the tapes what you to be.

that is egos job...

now say, “THANK YOU ego for making me the spiritual BAD ASS that i am...and reminding me of who i am and who i was born to be”!

my peeps:

me:

my peeps:

me:

life is good...and we are always going to be ok!



EVERYONE......

does not matter if you don't take of the center first

Yes! You are Creative!




Yes!

You are Creative!




Why do we create? We create because it allows the inner part of ourselves be heard.



So many times we feel that they are not able to be ourselves. We feel that we are not being heard and we are not able to be what we want to be on the outside… but on the inside we are crying out to be heard. As sad as this is, it is true for many of us walking around the planet right now.



When we enter into a state of creation, any state of creating, it us being authentic and real to who we are. We are bringing the inside of ourselves to the outside. We are letting that inner child and that inner quite voice express who we are and what we are on the inside.



We hold it all in because very often we feel that being the way we are is either not good enough or that we are being judged. This comes from years of being told in many different ways…by our families, schools, communities and so on that what we are is not conforming enough to the outside world. Example, if you want to be liked, if you want to fit in, if you want a good job or if you want to be happy…you must be THIS WAY_______. How is that working out so for you? If you are anything like the rest of us, I am sure the answer is “not so good!”



When we create we go within ourselves and allow the beauty of all that is within us to come out. We allow that part of us to be authentic and real to our truths.



Being who we are is as important to life as breathing. We just have learned through thousands of years to evolve out of being who we are…. the breathing we have not figured out yet! But I am sure if we could we would! We are that good at tricking and masking ourselves.



Why do you think we are here? Because it is fun?????

For many millions and millions of people who are homeless, live in war torn regions and have extreme abuse in their life…it is not always fun! It is painful and raw to be here, living on this planet we call Earth. With that said, we are all here to remember who we are. Creation allows us to remember those parts of us that we have stored away for many, many, many years…sometimes lifetimes.



I often tell people. “You’re so creative!” They always look at me like, “Who me?” I say “YES YOU!” and they are shocked. Why always so shocked? Why would you not be? You made it this far on the planet…health, finances, and relationships, etc…YOU ARE CREATIVE…YOU ARE CREATING YOUR LIFE!



Creative does not mean that you are going to be the next Monet, Renoir, or Bach. It means that you have your OWN amazing gifts and talents inside of you that allow you to think outside of the box and be all that you want to be. You have always been doing this but it is so natural you don’t see it. It is part of that toolbox of life that we are all born with! How do you think we got this far? Because you are CREATIVE!



That toolbox contains many tools that we can use to adjust ourselves, tweak ourselves and fix (I use that term loosely because I don’t believe anything is ever broken to be fixed) what is not working properly in that moment.



Creation is the basis for all that is. You are the basis for all that is. If you are a part of All That Is…Creation…than how can you not be creative?



We need to stop and start using our common sense. We have to stop being so hard on ourselves. If others are creative in their own way, then you are creative in your own way. No two people can create the same. No two people look the same. No two people are here to fill in the same piece of the puzzle. Your piece is uniquely yours and you are designing it in every moment you are here…. when you are no longer here….your piece will be completed for this puzzle….what do you want it to look like?



Your creativeness lies within your being. It is there; it has always been there.



Allow yourself to create. Maybe it is a garden, maybe it is a song, maybe it is a new way to move your furniture or office space around, maybe it is with your finances, create with your clothing, create with your voice, CREATE! CREATE! CREATE! and allow your inner creative beauty to be shared with me, with us.

We need you!

Be the creative masterpiece you were born to be.

Something to think about today! Not for the weary, for Spiritual BAD ASSES only

something to think about today:



if you are proud of the person you are....then stop to think about ALL the people who have helped you realize your worth....there have been so many people i want to thank for helping me along this journey...i think i will just thank them from my heart...no need to get up close and personal! lol ;)

another words... forgiveness is for yourself not others!



homework:



* get a large poster board and crayons, colored pencils or markers!
* use the poster board horizontal so you have more room



1. in one column, write the names of ALL the people in your life who have helped shape you into the person you are today. remember many of those people are the ones you argue with, fight with, disagree with, the ones who have taken your power, have left you weak, that have hurt you the most...and many are the ones are the ones that have lifted you UP!



2. in the next column write how each person has helped you become who you are in this moment....this may take a few lines up so be sure to leave room. I.E. how did they hurt you and how did you become better from that experience?



3. in the third column, write a sentence or two of gratitude and forgiveness to each person...write them a note thanking them for loving you enough, on some level, to have hurt you, disappointed you, etc...so that you could be the person you are today! you are strong, beautiful, free, brave, courageous, loving, kind, compassionate, soulful, spiritual, etc...you are these things because we have people in our lives "planted" to remind us of what we always have been. thank them and let them go...



4. in the fourth column...write a prayer, affirmation or loving statement to yourself. you are the one who got you to this point...

I.e. say, "thank you Lisa...thank you so much for always being with me...thank you so much for ALWAYS having my back....and no matter where we go or what happens we always have each other. i so love you".



5. use your markers, pencils and your crayons to decorate, color and design your beautiful board of love! set your creativity free...for within this creativity you will find your healing, your love and your self!



6. when you are done....some would say burn it to release it and let it go, some would say use it as a vision board, some would say tuck it away and keep it safe. it is your board maybe you have another idea! DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR BOARD....no one will tell you what you "should' and "should not" do!



trust YOUR gut! trust YOUR intuition!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________



The Full moon is upon us and as i write this i realized why i am being guided to post this today!



it is time to release and let go of what is no longer serving you and your needs. this is an exercise in letting go, releasing, and loving yourself! it is spring time...it is easter. it is passover. it is a time of re birth and renewal of YOU and of ME! i have chills all over as i write!



A M A Z I N G



awww.....the beauty of all that is! how amazing it is!



remember this includes all the people who have taught you anything about YOU.



FYI, most of the greatest lessons do not come from those that do not come me with boxing gloves! ;)



remember: YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL BAD ASS....this is not for the weak!



much love to you today and everyday! i have my own work to do!

Let a fish be a fish



by Lisa J Smith on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 11:11am

this came to me last night while i was falling asleep. for our friends, family, our children, co workers, employees...for all of us!



if you want a fish to swim do not take him out of the water. you are setting him up to fail.



a fish is a fish and can not be anything but.



by taking him out of the water and setting him on the ground...he will suffocate...not because he does not want to breathe and succeed and do the best he can, but because that is not the way he was built to survive. he was meant to be in the water.



if you purposely take a fish out of the water and set it on the ground then don't blame the fish for not being able to be a fish. you are the one that took him from where he thrives to where he will die. that is no fault of the fish.



the next time you think you are doing someone a favor...stop and think if they are a fish and where they would best fit... if they are a fish leave them in the water so they can thrive there and be the biggest fish in the pond...unless you are afraid that they will become a bigger fish than you! :)



awww....sometimes i think the fish are smarter than we are. we always think that we are untouchable, nothing will ever happened to us and that karma only happens to other people. We try to make our children, family, friends co workers into something they are not and then wonder why it isn't working.



when we live in a place where we support and up lift those who are around us and create the BEST SCENARIO FOR THEM TO BE IN, we are creating a better place for ALL of us to live in. duhh....



too many people are working from fear and ego that they are not enough so they attack or project onto others....when we can lift each other up we will thrive, breathe and create!



i sometimes think that people are the ones getting all tied up in the lines...and the fish are the smart ones...leave them alone and let them be fish!

what i don't have lead me to what i do have
by Lisa J Smith on Monday, March 14, 2011 at 9:23pm

i have my truth.

i have my authenticity.

i have my heart to lead me where i, we, need to go.

i have my passion.

i have my history.

i have my stories.

i have my experiences.

i have my class.

i have humility.

i have an understanding

i have all that i have ever been.

i have faith, belief and trust to meet those who i need to meet when i need to meet them.

i have more of my 'peeps' guiding me than i know what to do with most of the time.

i have love....and i have me....and as long as i have ME....i have all i need!



the rest of what i 'don't' YET have is easy...that will come...the hard work was finding what was lost and now has been found.

lessons from a snowblower


Spirit used another great analogy today to teach another life lesson:



My dad was over the other day....he needed to use my heavy duty snow blower to make a path to get something in my driveway.



I told him that i was having problems with it the other day when i had to try to plow through some pretty big drifts. i told him the wheels kept spinning and i could not get it to move forward without it getting stuck in a pile. this is a heavy duty industrial snow plow so it really should have been a breeze! it was anything but.



after he was finished, took him 3 minutes by the way, he asked what speed i had it in ( speeds 1-6)? i told him 5.

i'm no fool. i hate the snow and cold. my goal is to to get out there and get 'er done and get back in the house. the faster the better.



he said "well there is your problem. i had it in 1 or 2 and it worked great. i plowed right through". as i stood there feeling stupid, lol, he explained that if i have the speed too fast, all i would do is spin the tires because it had no torque behind it to make it move...DUH!!! it needs to be in 1 -2 to get through the big stuff! makes sense to me...the slower the speed the more "ENERGY" it would have behind it. it would be able to grip and move at a steady yet slower pace...therefore allowing me to use less of my energy and more of the snow blowers...THUS allowing me to finish FASTER AND EASIER!!!!



so tonight in a message to a client, spirit used that to explain to my client that she was going to fast and spinning her wheels. if she wanted to move through the tough stuff in her life, she has to slow down and allow it to move with more torque...more behind you to make it move through even the biggest of piles. the faster the speed the slower you go! the slower you go the more distance you will cover more efficiently and with less energy.



i thought about all the times in my life that i tried too hard to push through the big stuff. i wanted to go fast to get it done and move on...and ended up getting nowhere fast! awwww.....now i get it! :)



what a great analogy! i love the way spirit works....so many simple yet great messages to help us in any way they can!



if it will only snow one more time... ill try my snow blower out in speeds1 or 2.



now i know how to plow a nice little path through even the heaviest of storms! thanks dad!



happy snowplowing! :)

Cleanse and renewal...the souls journey thru the car wash!


Today a message came through from a listener’s dad on the other side and i wanted to share!

He compared his crossing over to being in a car wash...by the way i love how they explain things to us!

He said that when he crossed over it was like when you first enter the car wash...you align with the tracks and put your car in neutral. The car wash itself does all the work. It pulls you thru while you just sit back and enjoy the 'ride'.

While in the car wash it will spray you down, will soap you up (so it may be hard to see for a minute but that is ok be you know what is going on and you know you are on the 'right track').... and then waxes and rinses off the suds...when you are all clean you go thru the dryer...and then they dry off what ever is left on the car. You come out the other end shiny and sparkling just like new...I loved that!

I suppose it is about rebirth. I see it like this:

It, we, life is a cycle:
We have over and over and over entered the car wash. We have been stripped down, cleaned and polished up!!
Through driving our car (psychical selves) through storms, snow, slush and even sunshine on the dry days...our "cars' get dirty. When we are finished driving this car...our physical body...we pull into the car wash and let it do its thing...when we come out we are like new again and there are no traces of the dirt and grime of before.

This is a great explanation of what i tell my listeners and clients about 'death' there is no personality ...there is no anger...there is no ego...there is no hate...there is no un love...there is only beautiful shiny and sparkly cars...all of that is part of the journey. But when we leave our 'physical bodies' that goes with it. I have given thousands and thousands of messages and have NEVER been with on person on the other side who holds on to this. If they come thru that way it is a way for you to VALIDATE them...so you recognize their 'car'...but they do not carry that grime with them...

Guess what...when we pull out of the car wash...we get right back on our journey...we don’t think "oh no i cant drive bc i don’t want to get dirty again"...we get back on the rode drive and we know that next time we need a car wash and the time is right...we will find one and cleanse and renew.... and so the journey and cycle of life continues.

Don’t forget that this is the macro...this applies to the micro situations in your life as well.... while you are still in your dirty car! ;)

Relationships that hurt you, work, spouses, money, and health...we can always pull in the car wash for a quick cleanse and wash. Listen to your guidance and pull over...you will be taken care of and back on the rode in no time...ALLOW your self to let go of the wheel...know you are ALWAYS on the right track...and allow it to be.

It is like a circle within a circle within a circle...so amazing and so wonderful and so pure!

LIFE...now have fun and don’t forget to tip the peeps at the car wash!
