Wordle . . .

                                           

 During my random blog hopping today, I stumbled upon "Thrifty Tickle" as I am totally addicted to anything related to the word thrifty I of course had to investigate further. Then I saw the post regarding creating your own beautiful word cloud. And I knew instantly, this is what I have been looking for.

Sometime ago, it was going around where everyone was posting what the definition of their name was. Being the UNIQUE  individual that I am, of course my name is quite UNIQUE as well, my dear friend Ginni feeling for me created a definition for the name Denita since there was not one. This is how it reads...

Wild, crazy, carefree and fun on the outside but caring, sensitive and cautious on the inside. Loves animals almost more than she loves people. The wild side will find her tattooed and on a motorcycle with her face in the breeze. The animal lover will find her weeping over a hurt animal.

Yep, this pretty much sums me up in a nut shell ... don't you agree? 

So, after finding Thrifty Tickle and their posting about the site "Wordle" my idea was born. Now I just need to decide on which is my favorite and then have it printed on canvas for my scrap room!!! Thanks Ginni and thanks TT ; }

Here is some examples I created .....

                             

                              

                             

                             

Have fun and be sure to share your creations with me......
 
  
 

 

Man-Infestation......

 In your temporary home on Earth, this process is a learned behavior for man. The word "infestation" is defined as a "presence of a large number of pest organisms in or on a host." As a word play, we can look at the word as "man-infestation" as applied to all the large number of pesky thoughts that flow into your conscious and unconscious mind every moment of every day.

And so, let us begin. How do you create all that you want? You look around and notice that some people pray, pray, pray and still live a dread filled life. For others, everything comes easily when even their dark days leave them with a smile on their face. What is the secret behind this serenity that you see in the Dalai Lama and others?

The first ingredient is love. Unconditional love. Love that allows all others to be who they are, without judgment or criticism. It is not easy to acquire when your world is filled with limiting beliefs. However, it is possible to change your thoughts and attitudes, with attention and intention.

"How can I do that?" you may ask. It is simple, yet it requires much diligence in the beginning; you are simply changing a bad habit. The thought of monitoring your thoughts can seem overwhelming at first. However, like any skill, with practice you gain skill.

How to control your thoughts? The first step is simple observation. Pay attention to your thoughts. How do you feel when you have this or that thought? Which thoughts do you respond to, which do you ignore? The next step is to look closer at your thoughts. Are some persistent? Which ones give you joy? Which ones give you fear? Which ones would you like to act upon? Which ones would you like to go away?

This is where intention comes in. We have spoken about setting intentions on other days, so we will not dwell on it here. The main emphasis of intention is to know and declare what you wish to experience. Once you have this clear vision, it is your responsibility to take your e-motions and put that energy (e) into motion.

The first step is to pay attention to your thoughts. Choose only those which lead you to your desired outcome. When you have thoughts of fear, emotions that you don't like, persistent negative thoughts, then literally, think again. This is where practice makes perfect. When you are aware of thoughts that lead you away from your intention or anything less than love, choose something else to think about. It is rather simple, but, like any bad habit, it takes practice to change the behavior.

You have everything within you to create the life of your dreams. No matter what happens to you, it is possible to maintain balance, poise and grace. No matter how anyone treats you, it is possible for you to love yourself and your perceived enemies. No matter what ailment afflicts you, you have the ability to heal. No matter what behavior you have, you have the power to change and be all that you wish to be.

It is simply a matter of monitoring your thoughts. And, it's free! Be sure not to feel shame or guilt when you fall back into old patterns. As the old song says, "Pick yourself up, brush yourself off and start all over again!"

I receive Mayan messages like this one on a regular basis through email and they are all very powerful, however I felt as though this one certainly needed to be shared with you!

 

Throughout the year, the Mayan Messages offer solutions to life's problems.
They address various aspects of how each person is responsible for creating much of their life as a result of their thoughts, words, actions, emotions and where they focus their attention.

As one learns to release negative thoughts, fears and belief codes,
the ability to create a life filled with joy, peace, happiness and abundance is manifested.

What the Day Keepers have shared with me is that each of the 260 days of the Tzolkin calendar has a vibration, each focusing on a unique aspect of the human psyche.

Each message is designed to encourage the reader to go within and look at various aspects of their "shadow" side, those things that we would label as "negative" such as anger, greed and fear. The purpose is to find the root cause of each and discover ways to release them.
