Sunrise in Different Dimensions 

Life is a precious moment, sometimes we can forget this. When you meet with your awareness, it is a mechanism of life flowing, and as your awareness and life interacts, life is being shaped by you! 
What potential futures are you offering to Life? 

As life is observed, whether it’s your own or another’s experience; it becomes important to be able to connect with a feeling of safety, security, and a feeling of a unlimited potential. 

Observing life is a good exercise for discovering potentials with the positive energies that you are wanting to create. It’s good for breaking through challenge and taking the opportunity that challenge presents. 

This is not the first time most of you have understood that this yearning is the essence of your soul calling to you, guiding you back into alignment with your truth. 

Time and time again, you’ve  followed your intuition, risked it all in devotion to your soul, and trusted that this call within you was greater than your fear. And time and time again, this trust and devotion has repaid 10 fold… but in between it has tested you. When you observe life, you are a witness and it is important to develop your strength that creates a level of neutrality with the physical experience so that you may connect with the potential improvement and neutrality that helps find self-compassion with the present moment. As you are able to shift your resonance within, you are able to connect with a potential that resides in the subtle realm that resolves challenge into a new potential. This is the core of creating a new experience, anchoring a new creation, rather than just repeating a pattern with a different façade. 

Sitting back, allowing, and surrender. Draw the desire to you to make the soul call manifest.

Super-Simple, Kid-Friendly Smoothies

Smoothies are popular in our house, even with kids who claim to not like many fruits, or yogurt. 

When you are introducing your kids to smoothies, make sure the ingredients are to their liking. If they love chocolate, make a chocolate flavored smoothie with a dash of fruit. Make the idea of smoothies exciting, children love to be involved in the process. Let them make smoothies with fruits of their choice, on the condition that they will drink it. Guide them to make sure that the smoothie they make is edible. Lol. 

You are lucky if your child likes eating vegetables. Otherwise, you can disguise the tastes of vegetables with fruits or yogurt. For example, if you want to add broccoli or spinach to the smoothie, you can add a strawberry, banana, or grapefruit to give it a sweet and tangy flavor. To make smoothies fun during summer, you can make Popsicles and add them into the smoothie.  

The good news is that smoothies are extremely flexible. If your house doesn’t drink cow’s milk, you can always substitute with almond, coconut, rice or soy milk. You can use the yogurt of your choice and honey or agave are both great natural sweeteners. 

The kids can choose the flavor of the juice – orange, apple, cranberry or even coconut water. 

Here are a couple of our favorite super simple kid-friendly smoothies 
Strawberry Banana Smoothie

1/2 banana

1/2 cup plain yogurt

Blueberry Bliss Smoothie

1/2 cup coconut milk

1 cup frozen blueberries

2 teaspoons honey

Smoothies for kids are healthy and easy to make and can be had any time of the day. You can serve them during breakfast or as evening snacks. The popularity of smoothies has encouraged businesses to come up with ready-to-go smoothies in different flavors. Dr. Smoothie, Suja, Happy Planet, Happy Monkey, and Innocent Smoothie For Kids are among the most popular smoothie brands in the market today. While it is fine to pick one of these packs, homemade smoothies from fresh fruits and vegetables turn out to be the best in the long run. 

Fruity smoothies are a fun and healthy way to start your child’s day! It’s a power breakfast. The best part? They’re super-easy to create.

Stand Up For Yourself Gracefully 

Intuition is knowing when to say no, and when you can move your limits.

Learn to feel it in your body – are there any situations where your body tells you to stand up for yourself more? Doing it all with grace will make it feel so much better. You probably do this already, but getting aware of the process can make it all feel more meaningful.

Intuition. The Art of I Just Know It. 

Intuition is so much more than premonitions and the future. Intuition is knowing what is right and what is wrong. Intuition is living in harmony with our spirits and the larger force of life. Intuition is listening. Deep.

Living intuitively is the answer to the invisible questions, What is my purpose? Why am I here?  Learning to trust your intuition can transform your life. Suddenly you’re living with the stream, not against it. Your able to connect more closely to others because you are connecting with yourself. 

Being connected to yourself is the solution. It will be beneficial living in harmony with nature. What is good for you is good for the earth, the animals, the plants and everyone around you. There’s no doubt about it.  Your deep connection with yourself will have a ripple effect that will change the world.
