Keep Calm and Cowgirl Up

Thought since we had the famous Williams Lake Stampede this month - a four day event that features some wonderful entertainment and honouring a way of living that has been set in the Cariboo for a long time. Originally it began as some local cowboys getting together to entertain the visitors on the train and stage coach that passed through town and show off their skills. It is a rich part of the history and the culture.

 I began volunteering with my mother who did it for many years with my dad and she missed having someone to share it with. I do admit that there are events I won't watch and when I am in the infield I send all the animals healing and love. Mostly all the people involved are hard working ranchers so they treat the animals well. Should I see someone who doesn't, I send them messages on other levels and usually it changed the behaviour. I am pretty sure I am the only vegetarian there and I do have to pack my own lunch and food lol.  I do really enjoy all the people I see and meet, as well those boys/men and women are tremendous athletes.

One year when I was in the infield with the bull riders watching the mountain race, one of the bull riders said, "Wow, them guys are crazy!" and Sharon thought, well doesn't that just put it in perspective 'The bull riders, think the mountain racers are crazy and I think'...well you get the picture lol.  Kind of puts it all in perspective.

This guy  thinks these guys are crazy lol....


Anyway...This week's message is about saddling up and preparing for that mountain race of your life. The Mountain Race is On and so Cow Girl up and Get Ready to Ride!

The cowgirls in the old west were a tough lot and tapping into that strength of our goddess energy from that time can help get things done and stay in the saddle during our toughest rides.



Have a great week and cowgirl up, keep calm and of course you can always sparkle on...

Keep Calm and L♥ve the Life Y♥u Live

Keep Calm and L♥ve the Life Y♥u Live with Sharon Taphorn

I remember the first time I really listened to the words I was singing to the song, 'Love the One Your With' by Crosby Stills and Nash... 

"And if you can't be with the one you love, honey Love the one you're with" 

I remember thinking how wise that thought really is. There truly is no point wallowing away in self pity or feeling sad that someone doesn't want to be with you that you love, be them lover or friend. 

We can't always be with the ones we love like our family and friends. Sometimes they move away, move on or just become unavailable to us on some other level and it is okay to feel that sadness for a moment and then it is important to move on. If you have loved someone and lost, and most of us have at some point in our lives, it isn't always easy, but it is part of living a human life governed by free will that is also finite. Some will come and all will eventual go on in one manner or another. Remember to look around and see the others that are there. The possibilities that exist for you are truly endless. 

Whenever I loved and lost along the way I reminded myself  to not live in the past of what might have been, but to live in the now, in essence, to love the one I am with, whomever that may be, and that didn't always mean a someone, as sometimes it was just me, myself and I. So, when I saw this 'Keep Calm' poster it reminded me of a philosophy that I had adopted that has pulled me through some difficult times over the past few years. 

Over the past four and half years of my healing journey I frequently adjusted that little saying to remind myself to keep calm and just love and accept where I was right now as I wasn't anywhere else for whatever reason and the only place to go to here is here anyway. 

Keep Calm and Love the Life You Live! Simple and divine, yet we seem to make it so much more complex in our wanting for so much more. You are where you are and it is what it is and you have what you have and so Love the Life you Live regardless. By adopting this philosophy I am actually enjoying my life more while living on a lot less and yet feeling like I have so much more. I guess that means that how  I view my life has changed and what is most important has changed for me. And, by living this philosophy, I am also beginning to see that I am creating a life I love live right now and I look forward to what the day brings to me, the beauty I see awakening all around me and the opportunities I desire opening up for me, even as some are closing.

There is always something of beauty somewhere in your life to focus your attention on while you learn to love the life you live and as you do that, you find other things that you love and pretty soon life begins to look better and brighter and well, it always does get better with time and really the time we have is now so why not just have things get better right now and be done with agonising process of letting go of what you really don't want anyway. Just pull that bandage off quickly and smoothly and not prolong the pain of enduring a slower process (unless of course you really want to and then well, just enjoy that too since that is where you are). 

I was going to add a you tube video of the song "love the One your With", but then I found this one and it gave me a chuckle as it is definitely a sign to Carry On and Sparkle...

Keep Calm and Put the Kettle On

Keep Calm and Put the Kettle On

Sage advise during times of energy influx when those of us who do coffee table counselling with friends and family or those of us who do sessions for a living as these are often times when things get busy as people are trying to find their footing while the log beneath them keeps spinning and if they stop they will surely sink into the great abyss that lays in the water beneath them. Which pretty much sums it up out there and sounded like a good place to start. 

I do love on Big Bang Theory how Sheldon makes tea when things are rough as it is the right thing to do, even if you don't drink tea. His mother taught him that and it is just good manners. I have to say that I was brought up on offering coffee or tea to those who enter your home as a welcoming and so what feels more inviting that a nice spot of tea and some good company!  (although Sheldon does still sometimes just make it for himself even when he is not the one in distress)

If you find yourself needing a little nurturing, a nice cup of camomile or perhaps even Valerian with lemon balm tea will help to sooth your soul and some music of tranquillity and some good friends, a good book, or a great meditation  to support you and you will be just fine.

Don't Leave Home without your Sparkle

You didn't come to earth without your sparkle, so don't leave home with it! I did share this picture last week on facebook, but when I posted this weeks Sparkle Rant with Sharon I wanted to add it to the blog. It is really good advise.

Don't Leave home without your Sparkle!

When you are standing at the door sprinkle yourself in faerie sparkles and imagine that you are clocked just like this sparkler and you can't help but keep calm and Sparkle On...

Attitude is 80% of the battle so if you have the right attitude, the rest is easy peasy as you have already showed up and that must be another 10%.  And, you are Sparkly, so you are totally ready for ACTION, that is the other 10%. So, you are there my friend. Keep calm and don't leave home without your Sparkle On...

Keep Calm and Don't forget to be Awesome!

Love this one. You are Awesome! Just the fact that you showed up for the mission shows us how awesome you are! 

Before you go out the door and face the world this week, shake your head, release some energy, smile and remember that you are awesome and today is your gift to explore and experience.  

Don't forget to remember that you are awesome, it is that simple. 

You would not have been chosen for the mission if you were not a great hope with the best chances to succeed! You are here now at the forefront and it is because of this awesomeness that is you and all that you have and are that we are here now together in the realm of physicality, enjoying the ride. 

Don't forget to remember that you are Awesome! 

Have an awesome week! 

Love and sparkle on, Sharon xoxox

Keep Calm and Oh Shit! Never-Mind

Enough Said!

Some things beg no deeper meaning or thought provoking conversation lol, and yet they do.

Some days that is just the best approach to life. Surrender and just accept today for what it is. What might seem like a big mountain in front of you right now might look different when you just release it to the Universe and let it go. When you wake up tomorrow, that mountain might just really be a little hill or at the top is or on the other side it might be exactly what you were looking for all along.

Also don't give up. How do you surrender and not give up. Well, that means to release any need to control the outcome or what the outcome looks like right now. There are always alternatives and different paths to lead you where you want to go, it could be that what you are striving for is not quite set up and so there are some distractions to keep you busy until the timing is right and the doors open.

In the meantime there is plenty to do and many wonderful things to focus upon and keep yourself busy with productive projects that feed your heart and soul. This is really what is most important. Taking time to release your thoughts through activities that are fun, energizing and get you outside are most beneficial as it allows you to get out of the way of your own thoughts and focus on something else for a while.

Read a good book, go for a walk, gather together with friends and celebrate life and all that is around you.

This weeks advise has helped me through some..shall we say, interesting times... sometimes you just got to Keep Calm, and Oh Shit Never Mind or that wonderful line from the movie Risky Business... Sometimes you just got to say "What the F#$%! and just surrender and let it go, it is what it is.

Have a fantastic week and most of all just keep yourself grounded and smile (it will make people wonder what your up to! :)

LOve and blessings, Sharon
