Are You Right?

Posted on May 27, 2015May 27, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand, they listen with the intent to reply.

Steven R. Covey

Are you right or are you loving right?

In the grand scheme of things would you argue and debate to be right or be a lover of listening and hearing and sharing your light?

Can you share your light and let it be only your right and let go from there so love doesn’t tear?

Is to be right what is really important to you, or is to be heard right sound intriguing too?

To continue a point you are passionate about until someone says, “yes you’re right”, is that the actual outcome you’re looking for by the end of the night?

What if we let go of the need for others to see we are right, what would you lose or possibly gain in trust to only one that remains?

What if being right wasn’t the ultimate goal and seeing the smile on someone’s face meant so much more?

Listening to the process of others learning, thinking and experiencing and being a part of doing is the beauty of offering and accepting what has created the right in you.

We weren’t born with all the knowledge we have today, we learned it, listened to it, experienced it, processed it, shared it, felt it, let it challenge us and shape us.

Each person is deserving of sharing their passion and knowledge, to give to receive to know we matter.

As we exchange ideas letting go of who’s right a place is created where,” Ultimate Love” is the only right.

Receiving love in listening is a deep love given, it’s a gift no one forgets and a gift to be thankful when it’s given, left without regrets this love gives continued learning and living.

Is being right really hearing?

Is being right a place you grow?

Is being right really getting down to the core of what matters?

Is being right costing you more than you can afford?

What is your cost to being right?

Are you fighting to be loved and no one is listening and in turn not letting love in, to even begin, or is being right really where love ends and or begins?

So many questions and answers, there is only one that is right, could it be or you?

A valuable lesson from a heart to a heart, the question was asked in a time and a place, “What could I do to be a better mom”, I asked my son.

He answered me quite honestly without even a moment to spare, “Mom the only thing I would change, is that you would listen more the first time and not need to be right, just hear and sometimes let me feel I’m right.”

This hit hard, he was right, at what cost had I fought for my right to be his?

This was a teachable moment for me he wanted me to listen and to lovingly debate so he could find his place and his right, I finally heard it and got it that night.

No matter how right I thought I always was, what mattered most in this time was that his right was that being heard was being loved and I got it this time.

To be heard and to hear is a learning curve
; it’s our own voice and spirit that move inside processing all that has come through in time.

Does anyone know better than you exactly what you feel to be true?

Does anyone know better than you the experiences and perception inside of you?

What if all it took to be right was to listen and be heard so we could take flight?

What if what you processed from all of this was the journey to accept the conversation right?

Taking the time to understand and learn where someone else is concerned, gives more than standing so firm that you miss what may be your biggest lesson learned.

A little “raise” of sunshine to think about, let me know your right, the challenge to change and grow, to learn and to show, to have the empowerment to love and let go, I invite it, lets go!

The Intimate Details

Posted on May 25, 2015May 25, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

When we see ourselves as a whole, the whole can be healed without a hole.

Kerri Elizabeth

The intimate details are authentically yours, your choices, your thoughts, your movement, your feelings, your honor, your path and even resilience.

Authentically yours, ownership of all of you, your value, your commitment, your voice, your belief, your acceptance, your touch, your smile, your intuitive way you think.

There are events that happen in our life, we experience them, we live in them, we feel them, and we often get stuck in them, for a moment or for a while.

The possibilities to move forward show up in our life, we can take them and accept the gift they give or we can resist and be full of what we choose to relive.

There is no question as to the authenticity of this experience; the question is our perception and the size we created it.

The capacity at which we grow is left to the room we allow ourselves to organize, let go, give away and allow the ebb and flow of the path least resisted instead of over control.

Life won’t stop with a simple thought, overwhelm and fear won’t make time disappear.

Anger and hurt will grow inside the same as love and compassion will if you decide.

What will you choose your capacity to be, will you wait and wonder if you are as deep as the sea and drown in thoughts you have the right to set free?

Our bodies regenerate all the time, they do it whether you decide to accept or decline.

You have the chance to grow and regenerate every day; you have a choice to regenerate the thoughts and make them new or continue to brand the old to the new.

The regeneration is happening for you, you don’t have to buy it, or find it or give it a name, it is, it’s a gift , it’s for you and me, It’s free don’t take for granted what you can’t see.

The intimate details of our life’s experience are owned and changed and loved and accepted, left for later, protected and deflected.

Often an event or something that doesn’t feel good is seen as something that doesn’t serve us, wanting it to go away, for it to go back to what it was before it came.

It’s the perfect sign that brings us to be aware of what isn’t serving us to take time and be aware, it is a beautiful reminder that healing is taking place that YOU are already where you need to be, accepting the place where you’re at is the only place you can move forward out of that.

Authentically present with our intimate feelings and thoughts, our mind and body are all one, sharing one without the other is giving you only part of yourself.

A connection of our mind and body as one remind our soul that we have just begun, this new starting place is invigorating and free, now ultimate healing is accepted in place of the doubt that creation of you as a whole needed to be found and made, it’s already done, it was given to you and by not accepting it, you let go of all of YOU.

Authentically and intimately love all of you, picking and choosing one part of the ocean earth and sky doesn’t separate the divine infinity of the connection given for each of YOU, one small change brings change to it all.

Healing and happiness, love and joy, sadness and pain, fear and rejoice, the connection is made as the ebb and flow, the least resisted path we can all choose to go.

“Raise” of Sunshine

Kissed By A Frog

Posted on May 21, 2015May 21, 2015 by Kerri Elizabeth

On the path there will be obstacles of life that will shift your attention, what a blessing when you take the time to shine a light.

Kerri Elizabeth

In the mountains growing up near skiing, nature, hikes, mountain trail horses, cabins, two rivers, an outhouse,a woodstove, clean air and more.

Searching for the biggest frogs and the most tadpoles, walking miles into the woods and learning every flower, mushroom, tree, plant and animal, the adventure never ceased, nature was a teacher of peace.

One of the rivers roared with continual intensity, “White River” was its name and it was always murky and full of mystery, the caps were fierce and the speed always surprised anyone that decided to brave its power, often lost in the attempted challenge of nature vs. manpower.

The other one was called, “Green River” amazingly beautiful, green, clear and calm, you could see every detail in the white caps as they tossed the moss from side to side and all around.

Seemingly effortless and in a certainly relaxed state, trusting it’s direction there was no debate.

An imagination was shaped, deep creativity was born and a never changing mad love for nature, adventure and appreciation in every storm.

The frog, oh the frog, the sound, the stillness, the captivating thoughts of the next move they will make and the power in the next jump it will take.

The music they play, the conversations they have, the late nights they share, the ponds they declare.

The echo’s through the night, the stars they sit under add light.

They seem to have no fear, enjoying life the way they were intended a lesson to draw near.

The sounds when there are thousands, the symphony played, leave a feeling you could stand among them and understand what they say.

Are they vulnerable when they jump away, do you see it this way?

Landing on a trail by themselves, it’s dark they aren’t expecting anyone else, they trust the place they take ownership of their space.

So small to my eye and in turn so large, to an insect they wait to capture and recharge.

They live with clear intent, singing along the way, they can be independent and share conversation without getting in each other’s way.

Take a moment to see that a kiss can be, a place a moment a lesson to receive.

Even a frog can teach you, that taking a moment to shine a light can change someone else’s insight.

Singing and being open to what is near, a journey to concise and clear.

Laughter and letting go being ready to embark.

Jumping with confidence you will land clear even when it’s dark.

There is strength in the ability to adapt and take turns.

To hold a hand and dance with someone to confirm, we exchange the lead to teach and affirm, we are always exactly where we need live and learn.

Continue to land and look around, to feel the vibrations and the sounds.

Thankfulness and gratitude bring confidence and attitude to the altitude and dimension of our experience in magnitude.

Live out loud and listen,” Raise”, of Sunshine on this page, touching you with gravity and intense prayer, I love you here or there.

Even a frog can make a difference, so can you in this instance.

Between the depth of the sea and the height of the sky, between the moon and the sun and the stars all combined is a connection so truly divine.

Diamonds in the Sun

We shine every one of us, like diamonds in the sun.

Every ripple of water holds the most amazing energy and carries thoughts like the water carries a wave.

Every wave a moment in life, it can flow by you, it can flow around you, on to you or to you.

The strength of each wave varies in speed and in force leaving acceptance for the course.

The impact of the shine is in the intensity of how you see it in your time, the amount of water, the amount of space on the surface, all together for a purpose.

The diamonds move around the surface, they bump into each other; they pass with beauty and untamed courage to shine with no fear.

They stay on the top showing the darkness, it’s a beautiful place out here.

What is beneath that shine when the diamonds on the water seem to disappear when the sun goes down and darkness appears?

The shine on the surface never worries about the darkness below, it allows the darkness to find its way, it invites the dance, it’s ready to go, it’s there to show, it’s there to glow.

When the sun goes down the moon takes hold, the light seems to always show, the diamonds are revealed again and again, they dance in the sun, they dance under the moon, they never give up or get discouraged or assume.

There is one Bright star that shines so far, it shows up first no matter where you are.

The bright star and the moon, the sunshine, the diamonds, the waves, the surface, the sky, the darkness, the stillness, the calm, the depth, the surface, it’s all one.

Separating the surface from the depth would leave space in our minds to expect, in reality there is no space between the surface and the depth, letting go of the space is letting them connect.

Into the depth of healing is a connection and feeling, allowing the diamonds to be part of the shine and not separating them to define one from the other instead of allowing them to be connected all the time.

The water and the waves, the moon and the sun, the diamonds that dance, the connection is so enhanced.

There is no space between the gravity of this place, it all works together from the depth of our place, from the sky to the land, from the air to the water, from the stars to the sunshine, and we need it all to matter.

It’s clear and concise, we were made whole, and any doubt of that leaves our ego to take hold.

The diamonds dance on the surface showing darkness the balance and purpose.

The waves move to the moon without questioning and arguing that was too soon, too late or maybe I’ll try again later I assume.

The brightest star shines every night; it never says tomorrow I might.

There is no stopping the waves, the sun, the moon, the stars, the air, the movement, the gravity of this place.

Let your light shine like diamonds and your movement be the waves, let your darkness be connected so it can roll into the light and continue to change.

Let your love be the air it is always there, breathe it in and breathe it out and take the time to shout that it is all connected perfectly for you to live without any doubt.

I LOVE YOU WITH EVERY “RAISE” OF SUNSHINE!

You Are A Diamond
