“Healing Heart and Spirit” takes Mahri’s experiences, from any given day and shows the reader how, by living life in a purposeful way, they could possibly, develop their own connection to their life purpose and in so doing create a powerful way to increase success in all avenues of their life. Mahri likes to call this her recipe for bringing peace, love, joy and prosperity into her life – thus “Healing Heart and Spirit”.
What we have done is have her read all her blog entries. We feel the real power of what Mahri has to say, is most powerfully imparted by hearing her in her own words.

Why is it that I question the me I’ve come to know? Why is it that I doubt myself at all? Why, when I know better, do I question what’s my role? Then I turn my back on all the gifts that permeate my soul.
It’s so easy to erase what’s true by thinking I’m not right; that the scarcity I’m focused on is all I have in sight. I know, deep down inside me, that all I choose to see is right within my reach – should I choose to set it free.
Why should it take an earthquake to cause the world to share? When the truth is all wealth’s for everyone. We are all God’s loving family – sharing the same sun. No-one should be hungry; no-one should feel cold; no-one should ever worry about getting very old.
This world belongs to all of us. This is plain for me to see. We are here to help each other and to live eternally. We are here to share the gifts we have – never questioning the source – always full of clear intention – keeping us on course.
Whatever we intend will happen – when we’re clear on that intent. All we do is hold the dream and know that it is meant.
It is only days before “That Little Feeling Workshop” begins at the Historic Theatre of Milton. On March the 3rd, 2010 at 3pm the doors will open and up to 20 children, ages 7 through 10 will enter and take part in this super, interactive and positively, designed workshop. This is my dream project that I have been working on for these past few years and now it is coming to fruition.
I need your help! We have received a small Grant that will afford the workshop a 5 week run. We have requested assistance in the way of goods from various local businesses and some of them have been gracious in helping us out. However, we are still in need of some special supplies. For instance we need 2 Easels and special pads for working with the children. We need Magic Markers in all colors. We need a recording device to capture the children’s musical creations. Staples has been approached and they have not yet answered our request.
As this program is so special and will make a difference for children and their families and I plan to have this continue, I need someone special to jump up to the plate and make a difference along with me.
To find out more about That Little Feeling Workshop please visit www.thatlittlefeeling.com and contact me. I will be delighted to give you all the information you will need to help this Workshop be the most successful and rewarding experience for everyone involved.
Balancing the “ball” we call “life” can be the most overwhelming procedure that we ever undertake. But without balance in our lives we are merely existing and who wants to merely exist?
When someone asks you, “How is your life?” how often do you say, “I am having a ball!” Well here is the deal – you can be making that a part of your every day conversation. It will take some dedication on your part to create this and who wouldn’t like to have their life be a “ball”?
It is my belief that life is supposed to be fun and we are supposed to have a “ball” even at those times that are stressful. When faced with a challenge we simply need to remember one thing. This is my prescription for bringing a solution to any challenge. Write this on sticky notes and place them all over your home and car and office.
“A CHALLENGE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE PERFECTION.” You heard it here! The upshot of this is by celebrating challenge you will bring about a solution in the form of a miracle.
Bring balance into your life by ridding yourself of the “got to does” and replace them with the “get to does”. This, in itself, will reduce the stress and free up some time for fun!
Understanding balance always brings about solution. Balance the ball and have a “ball”. It’s your life – why not live it to the fullest and have a “ball”? No excuses – Balance the “Ball”!
So often I get swept up in the avenues of life – giving all my passion to the intricacies of where they lead – then suddenly, out of the blue there appears before me a wall. This wall has an abundance of signs on it and depending on which angle I take to read these signs I can either feel defeated or elated. The knowledge, inside my being, says that everything is possible and I have had this proven to me over and over again. However, there are times I feel so overwhelmed by the awesome responsibility, that comes with that knowledge, I feel the need to step away – to hide.
I have been blessed with so many creative gifts and I am so grateful for these gifts. When I keep myself in that place of possibility I know that I have the ability to channel these gifts appropriately that they will fall totally in line with what I believe to be my life purpose*. There are consequences, however, if I read those signs with a defeatist attitude. Then nothing is possible!
What do I do? I stop. I breathe. I close my eyes and breathe again, deeply. I validate my magnificent power and ask myself, “What do you want?” I breathe again, deeply. Then I ask myself, “What is your intention?” Whatever the response to the intention question is – is what I then visualize – with every fiber of my being – so that I will bring about the subject or object of my visualization.
This is the only road I choose to take in order to keep me on the path toward continually, fulfilling my life purpose. *My life purpose is to make a difference in this world through my words and my music.
Recently Harry suggested that I might be interested in having a radio show. You know – I’ve been thinking about this and I realize that is a great idea. Being one who loves to philosophize on life and all of life’s meaning, this would give me the opportunity to present a point of view of any given life topic, and then invite others to call in and give their opinion and create a point of discussion.
The thrust of the conversation would center around spiritual philosophy and the different ’synchronicities’ that are becoming part of our lives. This would require making a bold statement regarding thoughts and beliefs that I have regarding how life works. This would require, perhaps, taking a huge risk in speaking out loud about the true nature of my philosophy. This would require me to be willing to be wrong in others eyes. Am I up for that? Yes! It is time.
So what do I call it? What do I name this radio show?
I am thinking of a pivotal time in my life when I truly discovered what it means to take full responsibility for living my life. If is is to be it is up to me. I actually get to choose the course of my life in the most powerful sense of the word. It is my decision. The scenario that brought this understanding to me will be covered in the opening show. The title is “Decide to Live”. This is what the radio show will be called.
Watch out for the first, in the series of shows, entitled “Decide to Live”.
It took me a long time to truly understand the philosophy behind acceptance. Before I might have argued that if you accept ‘it’ then you are agreeing to ‘it’. Yes! it might mean that but it does not necessarily follow.
Situations present themselves to us every minute of the day and the most marvelous think is that we actually get a choice as to how we respond to the situation. Too often, however, we react in a way that creates more anxiety than is ever necessary.
This amazing thing we call breathing, which is our life force, is too often taken for granted and not used in the appropriate manner. Just one deep breath could save us from so many uncomfortable moments in time.
What if we paid more attention to the power we give to the energy that is all around us in the way of negative input? (“The economy sucks!” “This President is not doing a good job!” “This person is bad!” “This is the wrong way to do that!” and so on………)
When we recognize the amount of power we give to those conversations, We might find ourselves making different decisions regarding our involvement. Choosing to not give our power to those negative conversations can begin with simply accepting what has been said as the opinion of the speaker and nothing more. This way we free ourselves up for other, more important ways to use our energy.
Hey! I am all for conserving energy. I’ll accept what is and move on. Boy! I feel so energized I just might go and exercise! Or not! The sky is the limit. It is all up to me.
Have you ever had a bad day? Have you ever felt you needed to question your feelings of self-worth? Have you ever felt that you could not handle one more negative thing happening to you?
If anyone said no to any of these questions – I want to meet you! It is my point of view that “It happens to all of us………..at some time or another. It is how we handle these situations that can be the difference between giving up or moving on. These powerful times occur when we least expect it and often blind side us with their power over us. It is my suggestion that their is a special way of handling these situations. There are 4 components I have observed that go into creating good out of all the bad. The first of these is acceptance. Whoa! Did I say acceptance? Yes! I did say acceptance, only when you choose to accept that this is the situation right at this moment can you begin to change the situation. The second is focus. Chances are that all that you are focusing on is the negative situation. What do you want? Focus on that! The third component is intent. When you are intent on having what you want you will bring about the object or subject of your intention. And the fourth and last of these words is joy. There is no-one in the world who has no desire to feel joy. Joy in experiencing success in any avenue of your life can bring about amazingly powerful feelings that may include peace, love and the ability to create great success in all you do.
Remember this. You are a human being. And when you are in a place of acceptance, focusing on your intention you are creating joy! It is all about how you are being!
So the next time you are having a bad day – simply check into how you are being and follow the recipe for success as stated above. Try it – you’ll love the results.
Not even our thoughts are new! It is merely the way our thoughts combine that make, what appears to be, new. Even the so called “new inventions” are re-surged thoughts combined in a new way. Often you will hear someone say, as they view a “new invention”, “Oh! my Goodness! I thought about doing something like that years ago and quickly dispelled the thought as “impossible”! Well – did you ever?” This is why it is so important to be in the moment and pay attention to your thoughts – they all have meaning and as you have experienced, nothing is impossible. Remember to keep in mind the old adage “the gift is the present”.
We spend so much time re-living the past moments or worrying about the future moments we don’t get the ‘gift’. So often, when we are in conversation with a friend, we are contemplating our response and not fully paying attention to the information that they are relaying to us. And, if we are doing that to them, chances are that they are doing that to us! Oops! now that does not feel good. you know what they say, “What you are giving – you are getting!” Also the solution to every problem lies within the problem itself. We spend so much time blaming outside sources when sometimes we just need to stop, look at the ‘problem’ and recognize the ‘gift’!
As I write this piece, I am looking out of my window at the snow that has fallen, covering the limbs of the tree outside and it is glistening in the sunlight against the azure sky – what a gift! How picturesque this little scene is at this moment and in only a few hours it will be gone. It is not a new scene – only slightly different from the previous snow fall – but I choose to enjoy it in this moment. I am ever so grateful for this moment.
I find it amazing that we (humans) get so caught up in history! That is, that every moment is new in time and we can create new outcomes. When we listen to the rhetoric of today’s conversation, which drags yesterdays conversation and the day be-fore’s conversation of a broken economy – then we repeat that conversation – we only cement the same result for this day! Shifting our focus to the possibilities of change and what we can do in our own personal lives, to alter this situation, is the difference between remaining stagnant in the broken economy and healing the economy.
So the next time someone tries to engage you in a conversation about the poor economy, say, “But that was then!” Needless to say this may invoke a blank stare. However, you might add a little information about what you are doing in your life to enhance the economy for you. If we each take responsibility for our conversation regarding this economy and make it our purpose – we, together, can effect huge change in the outcomes that we are experiencing.
Just think how this way of thinking and behaving can flow into all areas of ones life! We can get that career that we have always wanted, the home we have always wanted, the relationship we have always wanted, the body we have always wanted – Oh! the sky is the limit. Just remember – “but that was then!” and ” Now I am doing this….!”
Everybody’s saying, “There goes another year!”
They wonder if you’ve made your resolutions
And I think to myself – “Yes…I did last year
And look where that got me…
You see – I am realizing more and more
That the year goes by long before
We’ve taken time to practice our intentions
So perhaps it would be the best idea for me
To make resolutions daily – to go through my life gaily
Giving all the best I can to please me and my fellow man
To be thankful for the gifts I have
And to share without reservation
It seems to me that so many times
When I give my smile, a listening ear
Or even write to someone dear
I find that I feel so much better
Than if I had just received a letter
Don’t get me wrong – I love receiving
But there’s so much fun in leaving
Someone with a smile instead of sadness
So each day in 2010
It is my plan to never wait
For someone else to say, “Hello!”
Or to cheer someone who’s feeling low
To be loving, good and kind
And to keep an open mind –
When I see things that may upset me
To be positive about each day
And know that no matter what
There is a reason I am here
And that is not to wallow in some fear
Of not succeeding
No-one can ever succeed
If negatives like fear and greed
Override the feelings of success
I say it very honestly
That for 2010 to be
A happy year for me
I’ll just live it for each day
So that I can truly say
Each night when I lay down to sleep
That I did my very best
Though it seemed to be a test
And tomorrow I will strive to do it better Here’s wishing us all the best in 2010!
This is my personal ‘code for living’. As I share my life journey through my blog, I feel that the healing that I have experienced in my life has always come about when I have been true to my personal guidelines. I have thought long and hard as to the ingredients that have brought about the significant happenings in my life. When these guidelines are all in place for me, my spirits soar and it feels like the sky is the limit. Sharing these guidelines with you, it is my desire that you may want to create your own list. The following blogs will take each guideline and give it meaning.
