A BIRTHDAY WISH ..

Happy birthday to the child who stole my heart, and who has kept it all these years. 

Don’t worry about returning it; it’s happy where it is.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I clearly remember, the moment, abba and me decided what name we would give YOU - the little baby girl growing in my belly. 

It is as if it were just yesterday ... although a little more than 26 years had gone by since.

I was 7 or 8 months pregnant, plumping up ... :) while you were nestled safely inside me.

We were at a movie theater, watching "Hiding Out" - I don't remember much about the movie, but I can recall exactly when I decided in my heart, that Ryan, will be the name that would suit you best.

Ryan was the name of the lead actress, played by Annabeth Gish.

Abba and I were both impressed with this so called, "boys name", Ryan, for a girl, and decided at once that's going to be your name.

The moment I took a good look at you, I knew we made the right choice.

That day was the happiest day I had ever experienced. 

Today is your blessed 26th birthday, and I am celebrating the best gift I had ever received -YOU!

Thank you for coming into my world and shining your light upon us all ✨✨✨✨✨✨

Ryan Maytal, When I look at you now, I feel honored and blessed to call you MY DAUGHTER. 

How can I not?? You have grown into a remarkable woman; a most loving and dedicated mother to our handsome grandson, Liel, a loyal friend and on top of it all, you also make the difference in so many people's lives, doing your job as an educator.

What more can I ask for???

To you, my baby, my little girl, my daughter, I wish the best of health, happiness and success in all that you wish and dream for. 

I wish you to always love yourself unconditionally, expand this love within you, and share it with everyone else. 

I love you more than words could say, and know, I'm always and forever here for you ...

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please promise to take good care of me when I get old, and can't write anymore ... ;-)

 

LOVE YOU 😍

AWAKEN THE SPARKLE WITHIN

The number one cause of all human suffering is a distorted self perception, at the subconscious level. 

Our discomfort in life does not stem from the beliefs we have about love, success, happiness, etc.

Everything begins and ends within us, in the way we relate to the world around us, and with the beliefs we hold about ourselves. 

That is the true source - that is what dictates the blueprint of our lives.

It really doesn't matter how others see us, It always boils down to how we see ourselves. 

Do truly you love yourself? What is your opinion about yourself? 

When was it last, that you had taken the time to ask what do you think of yourself?

Who are you? What do you want? What is most important to you? 

What do you value above all else?

By taking the time to look internally, deeply within, we gain a world of sacred knowledge. 

Wisdom, which can not be found anywhere other then the depths of the human soul - our inner sparkle, glowing from within. 

TAKING CARE OF BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT

Have you ever thought to yourself why things are not going your way? 

Maybe the culprit is your thought pattern?

In order to change your outer world, you must attend to your inner world first. 

Understand the power of your thoughts, after all, they are what determines the quality of your life and future.

What you are thinking today, not only affects how you feel in the moment, but is also what creates your tomorrow. 

Perhaps you should begin writing your thoughts down... 

1- Begin by planning ahead and organizing your thoughts - see how fast your life can change.

2 - Take control and assume  responsibility for your thoughts it will give you the sense of stability you are seeking. 

Stability will give you a feeling of certainty - it will bring you inner peace and happiness.

Understand your body’s language, and reprogram your thoughts and emotions in a powerful and autonomous way, ultimately creating for yourself a life of harmony.

MEDITATION OASIS - SIMPLY BEING ...

Are you seeking for ways to be more relaxed, or maybe just reduce your stress levels? 

So why not meditate?

You may be saying to yourself: "are you kidding? who has time for meditation... ?"

If your overall well being is important to you, you need to consider the following:

Meditation doesn't necessarily mean that you have to take hours of your day in order to relax.

It just means that you care enough about yourself to give yourself a few moments of peace.

There are countless benefits to meditation: relaxation, peace of mind, inner balance, and harmony. 

Meditation oasis... Simply being - a few minutes of quiet time can go a long way ... 

Meditation cleanses and nourishes you from within - it calms you, whenever you feel overwhelmed, unstable, or emotionally distraught. 

There are many different ways to meditate, and it is not limited to the traditional ways that you may think.

Even taking a walk, dancing, listening to music, or doing crossword puzzles are  forms of meditation.  

All that you are doing is clearing your mind of the constant noise that is going on inside your head, and allowing yourself to open your heart.

When we meditate we are in a state of calmness and serenity - it is a space we create just for ourselves, so that we can evolve and elevate ourselves to higher levels of consciousness. 

When we achieve inner peace we realize that "what is going on inside us", is only up to us. 

THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE ...

Our mission in life is reflected upon the fact that we first must take full charge of our lives.  

We are the ones who are responsible for our life's conditions.

When we come from a place of love and remove feelings of anger and resentment, the Light has more room in our lives.

As long as there is full congruency between our words and our actions, there is nothing we cannot accomplish!  

We need to train ourselves to take the Divine Presence with us to every place and interaction we come across - only then we can fulfill ourselves to our fullest capacity. 

The Light we cannot see, is always there unconditionally, within us and around us, embracing us with everlasting love.

God/universe/nature can only give, he does not take anything away from us...

THE POWER OF REPENTANCE

You can change everything with the power of repentance.

So what is repentance?

It's not about how often we go to our place of worship, how many good deeds we do or how religious we are, but rather it is a spiritual-psychological process.

Repentance is the ability to look back on what was, to look at the pain and say to myself: 'That's not me, it does not belong to me any more ... "

God/universe gives us the power of blessing, so we can insert it into all the painful places within us.

Even if we did terrible things, it does not mean that they cannot be forgiven - no bad deed, no matter how awful it had been, can stand before the power of repentance.  

We are able to forgive ourselves when we realize we had made a mistake from a place of pain, darkness and confusion - because we were not balanced.

When we return to a balanced state, we can recognize but not identify with the bad feeling.

So why repent?

Because as long as I hold on to the pain instead of understanding why I made the mistake, and how can I make sure I will not repeat it, I will continue to suffer.

I make sure not to duplicate that same occurrence and continue forward with my life. 

I consciously choose not to focus on the bad, and instead I focus on what makes me feel good.

Repentance gives us the strength to transcend beyond the pain and move forward without looking back.

FORGIVENESS AND THE FREEDOM OF LETTING GO

How do I bring myself to a place where I can forgive and I'm happy with that?

1) When I am aware that my health depends on my ability to release what is not useful to me.

 

2) When it is important for me to create loving and successful relationships, I allow myself to transcend beyond when necessary.

 

3) When I give myself the opportunity to be vulnerable I am able to grow.

 

4) when I realize that I cannot make anyone  forgive. But I can take responsibility for what depends on me, and be the leader of my life.

 

5) When I realize that there are different possibilities and angles  from which I can view reality. 

I can now create a reality that allows me to live  happy and healthy, with love, satisfaction and personal fulfillment, for myself and everyone around me.

FORGIVENESS IS THE TRUE MEANING OF  LIBERATION. 

HOW TO GAIN CONFIDENCE

Are you someone who sees themselves as a confident person?

If you don't believe in yourself and your abilities, how can anyone else believe in you?

Why do we sometimes lose confidence in ourselves?  

Usually, it's because we have failed or because things didn't go as we planned and expected.

Then, doubt creeps in, and we no longer think that we can "do it"...

At these instances, we become ill... We suffer from a temporary case of amnesia. 

Why? Where's our focus?

We don't remember all those times that we did "win", and we did accomplish what we set out to do.

Next time you find that you are berating yourself, stop for a moment ...

Go back in time, and think of all your triumphs - that should give you the boost that you need!

Show some faith in yourself and others will follow.

Resolve to be the best you, you can be.

YOU CAN DO IT - I Can Help!

KARMA AND FORGIVENESS

WHAT IS KARMA, HOW CAN WE CLEAR IT AND GET UNSTUCK.

Karma - the sum of a person's actions in previous life times as well as in the current one, which determine his fate for the next.  

When we think, act, and speak with that which produces good for all, then we begin to resolve the issue of Karma. 

In some way we need to change our habits, the way in which we think, and create Karma which makes a better existence. 

Everything we do becomes "recorded" - nothing is ever forgotten ...

Forgiveness plays a big part in our individual karma - when we don't forgive and hold on to any kind of negativity it affects us to the core.

We may think we have forgotten about a certain incident, but if it doesn't get resolved it continues to affect us indefinitely. 

Say you have unfinished business from a previous life time. 

The best way to clear karma is through forgiveness - you came here to work it through.

We need to move into our heart - to forgiveness.

See the person for the soul that they really is, not just as the person who wronged me. 

Come to a place where you can heal that relationship - meaning, dissolving the partnership with love and grace - forgive them whether you know what you are forgiving them for or not, and move on. 

That completes the karma.

It's really about forgiveness and unconditional love. 

Forgive and set yourself free.

HOW TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF

Do you ever find yourself feeling sad, empty, or down? 

What do you think about when you're sad?

Where is your focus? 

Don't waste your time making yourself miserable when you can otherwise be happy - 

* You can always find a reason to be happy - even the fact that you are able to read these very lines...

Do not let stress build up and take control over you - 

* If you have any kind of "unfinished business", deal with it, and be done with it. 

Don't let anger rule over your relationships.

* Take the initiative, speak from the heart, be kind and gracious regardless of who's right.

We all have the ability to be mindful, stay focused, and eliminate distractions, the question is WHAT are we focused on ...

Become more aware of your thoughts - they are what determines your state of mind.

Concentrate on what you want to experience and feel - focus on what matters to you most, it will help you become calmer and much happier. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May we fulfill every wish and dream, and have a happy New Year with many  pleasures, 

May every day be a holiday full of happiness and celebration,

May we have a new year

filled with great excitement, hope and many successes. 

May we know to answer the questions:

"What should I do? What can I improve?"

May we have the courage to be who we are, may we concentrate in doing good, follow our heart and do what we love.

May we all have a special year of love and joy, a year of pleasure and success.

May we have a year full of surprises and exciting   experiences, 

May we begin each day  with smiles and joy

May we have a wonderful year, may we keep smiling, and never stop loving !!

With all my love and very best wishes to you always ❤️

PLANT A SEED OF FAITH

Our reality can always be improved, no matter the current condition; we have the ability to make it better. 

We have the ability to move positively forward from whatever our situation may be. 

Set a goal - plant the seed of faith and expectation so it can grow and become your success.

Become enthusiastic and excited about your new prospect.

Believe that you can make it happen.

View your challenges as an opportunity to grow beyond anything that you've previously experienced. 

Once you have accomplished your goal, set another goal bigger than before.

Keep cultivating an appreciation for the great possibilities that life offers. 

Keep in mind that what doesn't grow, eventually withers away and disappears ...

Life can be difficult but it is the continued progression that makes it more meaningful and magical. 

ADVICE FOR LIFE

Connect to your higher self, and ask for healing - connect to your subconscious and energetically change things for yourself.  

Forgive yourself and others for all past pain - be willing, be loving. 

Open the door and let go of all suffering.   

Learn to accept what is unknown to you.  

Be more of yourself and less of your baggage.  

Be willing to be who you truly are - be authentic and true to yourself. 

Be open to move forward and live your life with joy. 

Embrace and rejoice in who you are and who you will become.

Decide what success means to YOU - introspect frequently.

Know that you can always make a different choice if the current one does not serve your highest and best interest and potential. 

Be clear on what you want - live life by YOUR rules.

Be loving, kind and generous, the rest will take care of itself.

Take responsibility, be honest and genuine - people will appreciate you more. 

Ask for help, pray, and you'll be answered.

Smile MORE, life is magical!

CIRCLE OF POSITIVITY

We came to the world to experience happiness and inner fulfillment, and to illuminate the darkness in all areas of our lives. 

We have the right and obligation to work towards balancing ourselves from within.

When we are at peace, we increase the love and compassion among ourselves, among each other, and between nations. 

Every drop of love changes the picture.

Every gesture of kindness helps complete the circle of positivity in the universe.

Become an active participant in seeking peace. 

CREATING A MEANINGFUL LIFE

A meaningful life, is a life having to do with the pursuit of happiness - that is the mere reason as to why we are all here ...

I know there is no real meaning to life unless I create it.

It is living life from a place of clarity of thought; a life of true meaning and fulfillment. 

A purposeful life is when I awaken each morning to a new day, realizing I'm blessed. 

I now know that I have a new opportunity to live my life fully,  because I know what I want.

Once I have a clear goal in mind, then I need to plan how to achieve it.

I have to be honest with myself, so I can clearly see what is in my way, how I get over the barrier and what I need to do to change myself in order to get what I want. 

I must accept what is not under my control, yet bear full responsibility for what is. 

A purposeful life, must be continually fed with new content to preserve the joy - if I had a happy day, a day where I was mostly joyous, where I progressed a bit more, where I had done good for me and others - I won!

Conversely, if I spent my day feeling badly, spewing my anger on others because I am filled with negative feelings - I lose!

This is not what I came here to do!

HAVING A VISION THROUGH LUCID EYES

It's not so much the conditions in our lives that determine our fate - those are only the variables.

It is having a VISION - that is what gives us the fuel to keep moving forward. 

It is having the awareness that we can choose; how we think, what we say and how we behave in our everyday life. 

So you see, it is never about the "semitrailer" that just "happen" to knock you down to the ground ...

It is all subjective - you can see it as a "truck" hitting you or you can view it as a wake up call ...

It all depends upon which kaleidoscope you are looking through. In other words; we each CHOOSE how to relate to what happens to us. 

Everyone goes through difficulties, failures and disappointments in life.

Once we accept that as being an undeniable truth, it becomes much easier to deal with whatever comes our way.

If you have a goal or a vision to look forward to and you have confidence and faith that you can attain it, nothing can stir you away from it. 

It is the important to have a reason to wake up in the morning, otherwise life becomes a never ending battle.

"Do not become a dingy drifting in rough waters" - allow your goal, purpose, vision to be your guiding light, leading you to safety.
