You Inspire Me

Tonight's post is a simple post of gratitude, Thank you Universe and all the beautiful human's that make this experience amazing!

I decided to share with you the 5 people who have inspired me in the past week.....here it goes! If you ever get a chance to meet these people, you will be blessed! They are all definitely ahead of their time!

Becky- Tab was totally right when she said "How did they manage to fit so much awesomeness inside someone so tiny". That describes the adventurous, free-spitted, spark of light inside of you very accurately! Your impact is right up there with those beautiful firework shows people watch on the 4th of July. In fact, remember when we driving and caught a glimpse of a fireworks show on the side of the road....I highly doubt that was just a coincidence! Becky, you inspire me and the world- don't stop seeking....you have reminded me that everything already exist within! There is a whole world waiting to be discovered- step lightly!

Sir Brock Stone- The world shines brighter with you in it! You are a genuine representation of the future leaders of America. You came into this world with a special kind of vision, the ability to see through separation. This is a powerful gift and you will open many hearts and minds with it! You amaze me everyday with your courage and dedication to create a different kind of society, the kind of society that loves and accepts EVERYONE just the way they are! You inspire me to let go of fear and dive courageously into the sea of life! Just like water, you are refreshing and their is plenty of your love to go around! Wherever you go in life, continue to love freely and the Universe will give you everything you dream of!


Isabela- I admire your courage to follow your dreams! You are young, though age is just a number, you will do many powerful things in your lifetime. I am inspired by your deep faith and trust in the Universe, it brings me a lot of peace. Listening to you speak fills me with joy and reminds me of my dreams and desires! You are a true visionary and I know you will use this gift along with many others, to spread love and goodness to the world. Keep listening to your inner voice, let it be your guide!

Angelica- Your eagerness to seek the truth in all things is very ambitious! I am inspired by your enthusiasm to learn and create a successful life for yourself. I see the world traveler in you and I think we will definitely have to travel together some time! Your honest and authentic approach to life shines very bright and reminds me to stay honest with myself and the world around me! You are going to be a super successful woman and everyone is blessed to know you.

Roxanne- I felt very grateful to sit across from you at Kirtan the other night, you were illuminating love! I am so glad our paths have crossed again, seeing how much you have expanded and grown in the past few years really reflects how dedicated you are to YOU! I am inspired by your commitment and dedication to yoga. You have always carried a high energy with you and your smile glows like the sun.

Aren't I lucky to meet such GREAT people?

Feeling the love,

Erin

Magical Mantras

Because the One I love lives inside of you, I lean as close to you as I can....

Good Evening Beautiful Friends!

Tonight I am dancing on the clouds and what a fabulous space it is to be in! I always seem to be high on love and oneness after I leave a Kirtan. It is a magical thing, you may go in with a heavy heart and with the power of the matras and surrendering to their message of love, you walk out with a lighter step.

Shantala was leading the Kirtan tonight and my what an incredible experience! Their voices reminded me of angel's singing & I was so grateful to be in their presence!

When I sing Kirtan my heart expands in the ultimate Oneness and I find myself falling in love with the moment! I love looking around and seeing the blissed out smiles of some very amazing humans! I am not sure where everyone goes in that time, but I do know the vibrational level raises and everything is LOVE!

Infecting you with my ever-expanding passionate love....hope it sticks on you and keeps spreading!!!

Tag you're it,

Erin

"Post-It"ing my Love.....

Today I woke up with a strong desire to do something different.

After reading Amy K.R.'s blog, I decided it was time to hit the town and spread some love and kindness ;)

I grabbed a stack of post-its, a red marker, my pug Riley, and we spread some pretty cool notes across the town!

Want to give it a try? Awesome!....it's really easy.....write a simple positive message and stick it somewhere to brighten someone's day! An easy and free way to spread love!

“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.”
-Mother Teresa

A Piece Of The Puzzle

Hi Lovelies!

Today I was privileged to learn some very beautiful things about what exist in the hearts of others! It was cultural presentation day in one of my classes, where everyone shared a little piece of what life looked like for them and I was thrilled to be apart of the experience. No matter how different everyone approached the front of the room, each had a unique and delicate piece of the puzzle to be joined together.

No piece was the same, some were the corner pieces,the edge pieces, and some belonged in the middle. The magic was that no matter what size, color, shape, and form the piece was in- each one fit!!

Want to know a secret? The piece we all carry is rooted in the heart and the puzzle is love.

I hope to help put this puzzle together, the more pieces we have the more love we will infect and connect as a whole!

You hold a magnificent piece to the puzzle, so what are you waiting for?

Love, Love, and more love,

Erin

P.S- When you connect to the puzzle....love is everywhere!

Changing Form....

"What would my life be like if I had as much faith in what's falling apart as what's growing?"

- Lynn Kapitan

Today I am grateful.....

I am grateful for the uncomfortable anxious moments that have so cleverly squeezed their way into my last few days. I am grateful for the penetrating ache that has reached me from head to toe- reminding me that yes pain is real sometimes. I am grateful for the tidal wave of tears that have flowed so effortlessly out of my eyes. I am grateful for the experience of human emotions that remind me so lightly that I am among the living.

Tonight I knew it was imperative that I open my heart and do some writing! I was looking at my sister-n-law's vibrant blog when I discovered the quote at the top of this post......it was perfect!

Over the past few days I have felt very overwhelmed, almost like I was made of ash and if you touched me with even the tip of your finger, I would fall apart!

I sat in front of my alter and got quiet and the message I heard was “Your growing”. When something grows, it expands and it takes on new form. Like a snake shedding old skin, I am growing and expanding into my true Self.

Nothing really ever falls apart; it just changes form…..

My love for you keeps growing every second!

In Love & Service,

Erin

Discovering Self

I grew up very needy for everything outside of me, continuously trying to stick a square peg inside a round whole. Always going around looking for "that" or "this" to guide me towards a sense of Self. It was as if someone was walking around with my missing puzzle piece and I was incomplete until it was recovered.

I close my eyes in this moment and let the sense of Self that is gently tapping at my heart flow to every cell in my body...sending mysteriously familiar goosebumps to my surface. In this moment I recognize that everything that I seek outside of myself can only be discovered within. It is when I am still and guided within that I feel ultimate belonging and infinite bliss.

These moments come to me in Puja, meditation, writing, Kirtan, and spiritual practices. When I do these activities that I am passionate about, I am aligning myself with the love and true infinite self that resides within my heart. What a beautiful feeling and how I would love for it to last, yet the ache of the pureness of this joy and love become overwhelming. As, a teacher once spoke to me "You are spirit and spirit can sustain anything". I guess that one hasn't sunk in yet!

Do you have these moments of pure bliss and love? Ya know where your heart aches oneness, your body tingles with stillness, awareness quiets your mind, and love is all you know. These are the moments that make you want to sing at the top of your lungs, dance like no one is watching, skip with a child like innocence, and smile as if the world depends on it.

NOW is the only time...live your passion...follow your bliss....and fall in love with everything!

With all my Love,

Erin
