For my last Zen Daily Words & Zen Heart Creations blog of this year and decade, I wanted to express my gratitude for all the dreams I have realized over the past 10 years! According to my google search there are 5,256,000 minutes or moments in 10 years of living! Seems like so much time to create and live the life of your dreams! I have done my personal best in this decade, trusting my intuition, my internal GPS, and following my dreams where they have led me! I have lived in Oregon and Arizona, enjoyed new adventures and creative expression along the way! My favorite quote by Helen Keller is: “Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.” I am ready for my next adventure and will keep you posted on all the next dreams I will realize! “For as you dream, so shall you become.” James Allen

My wish for you and myself is to ENVISION and CREATE the Life of our Dreams in 2020 and Beyond! Enjoy each moment to the fullest, and live your life filled with Heartfulness! 

I will continue to do my best to always share Loving-Kindness & Compassion with all who cross my path. My favorite quote for each New Year…..

“Go for it NOW the future is promised to no one.”! Wayne Dyer

Yesterday we had our first snowfall in Sedona! Each of the six winters that I have lived here, I continue to feel in awe when I see snow on the red rocks! It looks like sugared frosting was sprinkled on the mountaintops! The picture from 2014 was my first snowfall experience and I remember how delighted I felt standing in front of Cathedral Rock that chilly winter wonderland morning in January!

This year it was my 6th anniversary of living in Sedona on October 25, 2019 and I celebrated with what I call spreading some Sedona Serendipity! I visited all my most favorite spots in town and placed 6 of my Vortex Love Cards as random acts of kindness for whoever was lucky enough to find one. I was thrilled to leave them along my special hiking trails, labyrinth paths, medicine wheels, Quan Yin Statues, and Sedona Schnebly statues, etc. It was a very cathartic exercise for me and brought me full circle with my life in Sedona so far.

To honor another special anniversary which I call “Universe Day” which began in Sedona on November 5th 2013, it being my 7th “U” Day I decided there were many more places I wanted to spread Sedona Serendipity too! I picked 7 more Vortex Love Cards and placed them along the spots in town that “Universe Day” represents for me. I met new friends on that day, was directed to stores and places that ultimately have become very meaningful for my life adventures here in Sedona. I always trust the Universe, and on that day 7 years ago, I know I was divinely directed to go to all the places and meet all the people I did on that one special day! Again, another very cathartic exercise bringing me full circle with all the Sedona Serendipity that I have experienced so far!

I don’t know how many more anniversaries I will be fortunate enough to celebrate, but what I do know for sure: “Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.” and “Go for it now, the future is promised to no one.” These are two of my most favorite quotes by Helen Keller and Wayne Dyer. 

Always keep your eyes wide open for Serendipity along your path.

We MUST Do Something!

Gun Violence & Terrorism on August 3. 2019 ~ America’s Lost Souls.

Their lives should not be lost in vain, we must DO SOMETHING to reverse the horror that takes place in America everyday because of gun violence. There have been 255 mass shootings in America as of August 5, 2019. MORE SHOOTINGS THAN DAYS IN THIS YEAR. This feels like the final wake up call to take a stand and make the change we need in America.

We MUST DEMAND our Congressional Representatives pass laws to stop these horrific mass shootings once and for all.

If they don’t pass the laws, VOTE THEM OUT.

OUR VOTES ARE POWERFUL, AND OUR VOICES MUST BE HEARD.

Weekly 7 ~ Zen Daily Words ~These are my Zen Daily Words for the 30th week of 2019.  I can’t believe we are past the halfway point of 2019 already!  I like to keep track of how many days I have lived, as of today it has been 24,168 days! (Click on this link to find out how many days you have lived so far.) https://www.countcalculate.com/calendar/days-lived

“Meraki” is one of my favorite new words I learned this week!  This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe what happens when you leave a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in your work. When you love doing something, anything, so much that you put something of yourself into it.

Every morning I have a ritual of writing out a daily word and a few interpretations of the word that represent my intentions for the day ahead.

I have been doing this daily word exercise for a few years. It has been fun to sort them by date and read them on a monthly basis. It gives me an overview of my mood and intentions that were carried out for the month. I share this in hopes that you may be inspired to create your own daily rituals that will enhance your mood and mindset for the day. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead, make your dreams come true one day at a time! 

Cheers! Mars
