Living Big



Living big is knowing the value
of what is sitting before you and what
resides within you.

-Jennifer-



I have always dreamed big.  My entire life I would day dream for hours about what could be.  The one element that was missing, was always the take action part of the equation.  I never would take action.  I would think, talk, plan but then not do anything to fully make it happen. But almost nine years ago I opened my skin care spa.  That was big.  I thought it and then I made it happen.  Then five years ago I wanted to go back to school to be a nurse.  That was big.  I thought it, I applied to the program two times before I was selected but, I made it happen.  Most recently, I thought of the idea of this site.  I thought it and then I took action.  This was one of the very elements that was pulling at my heart strings this week concerning the yoga course.  Am I reverting back to old habits by heading towards the take off and then backing down?  And then I realized I wasn't.  After all that I have accomplished in the past few years and knowing that my business, nursing and website have all had their delays and challenges, I've learned that timing is everything.

The idea of spirit launcher came to me in a flash.  This was an idea that without a doubt needed to come to life.  This was my most recent dream put into motion.  I thought it, saw it and then made it happen. I never hesitated or even really got scared.  I've learned especially over the last few years that dreams are there for a reason. And in taking action, we begin to live out our purpose in life. We begin to essentially live big. Through this experience I have grown not only as a writer but I have also met so many wonderful people all over the world that would have never touched my life had I not taken this dream into action.  I didn't just settle for the dream I started to live in the dream of living big.

The concept of living big starts with just that, a concept.  It's a thought, an idea, a masterpiece of the mind.  But how and when do we start living it? We start living big when we take our ideas and put them into motion. 

Look around the room you are in at this very moment.  Where do you think we would be if everyone just thought about their ideas and never put them into motion?  Well one thing is for sure, we wouldn't be communicating through cyber space and there would be no such thing as a computer for me to write with or one for you to read on.  What kind of a world would we live in if we were to just be at a standstill with every thought and idea?

How somber of an idea is it to just allow everyone else to share their dreams and ideas to the world, but you just keep yours at bay in your own mind?  Look at how many things we are reaping benefits from because someone or some group of people decided to live big and share their ideas by creating them first and foremost and then spreading it to the world. These creations have made the world more productive, helped us communitcate near or far and all across the globe and have given us a better way of life.  How spectacular is that?  And the fact is, all of this has spawned from the spark of just an idea.

Where has holding back ever gotten anyone?  It is a delay in our integration, of our learning and of our growing not just as individuals but as a worldly community.  If we all are chipping in and contributing ourselves to the betterment of everything, think of the power behind that.  Think of what could get better and all that could be accomplished. I chose to not take the yoga course right now, but I did go ahead and purchase the class textbooks, manuals and videos used for the course in order to start on my own right now.  This way I can continue to grow in my practice but not have to worry about all of the other elements not allowing me to go out of state to the course at this very moment.

Living big is one of our number one assignments in life.  Think if our creator one day just stopped creating. Where would that leave us?  Each of us is sent here with an assignment.  An assignment of both inner growth and of worldly growth.  So think about what it is that you think about. And then think about how much better the world would be if you chose to not settle that thought just in your mind.  But instead how much more beautiful the world would be for you to live big and believe in what you are dreaming. Dream about it a little and then put it into action a lot.  Living big shouldn't be just an idea, it should be the spark of the flame that then grows and brings the light of life to the world. Think about it, do you want to live as the spark of the flame or do you want to live from the spark and grow into the flame itself?

What is it that you can do to live big today?  Share with us, we would love to hear from you!

As always with love,

Jennifer

The Plan


Plans are meant to be broken.
Never lock into any one thing.
Stay open and you shall receive.

-Jennifer-



As I shared yesterday, I have decided against doing my yoga teacher training right now.  I must say I slept like a baby last night.  Coming to peace with a decision no matter how difficult is an opening, it is a release within your soul.  That is what is funny about plans.  You make them and then they always change.

The lesson is to go with the flow and to be open to what is to come.  I have so many times pushed for what I thought should be the end result in a situation and I have pushed myself right into unnecessary pain, struggle, hardship and heart ache.  Learning to not only listen to my inner guide but to be guided by my inner guide, is one of the greatest gifts learned through my pain and heart ache.

What was interesting was I sent my instructor a heart felt explanation of why I was making my decision to postpone taking the course.  Even after explaining to her, she continued to try to push me to take the course now which was going in a direction my inner guide was telling me not to go in.  It's not that I am not meant to take the course, it is very simply that now is not the time.

This is what is so important and I want to stress this because it has taken my whole life of not listening to my inner guide and feeling and getting really lost in life in order to actually start listening.  We can flood ourselves with other people's opinions so easily and although they may be trying to lead us in one direction, we are the only ones who know what is right for us.  No one else has our answer.  I love Gabby Bernstein's reference to our inner guidance system.  Using our inner GPS to help guide us through life.  There really is no other way to travel through this life.  We have to be so careful with who we take advice from. 

My instructor for instance, was told the details of my work and its demands and my own every day responsibilities. I explained how this course would have been overwhelming and not enjoyable which essentially would have spoiled the entire experience.  What is the point in that? Even after explaining this my instructor continued to say, "Now is the time!" The fact is, the course will be offered again.  I'm not missing an opportunity by not taking this course now.  But in taking the course right now, I would be missing the opportunity to enjoy the life I have created for myself.  I haven't had a lot of time to just live and relish in this new life I have created.  So now is not the time for the course, now is the time to enjoy the details of my beautiful life as it is right now.

Interestingly enough, I got a phone call yesterday from Cancer Services which is an organization that offers support to cancer patients and survivors.  A dear client of mine who is a cancer survivor, who you all will be meeting very soon, gave this woman my phone number and I was asked if I would be interested in helping to fill in to teach yoga classes and potentially offer my esthetic services to their clients.  This is what I mean when I say make plans, but expect them to be broken.  This is life.  This is living.  Doors will open to new possibilities at any given moment while other doors may be closing.  You just have to be open and willing to receive.  The opportunities will come.  Remember yesterday how I mentioned the Universe knows when you are willing and offers you the perfect surprises when it knows you are able to acheive and receive?  This is what makes life spectacular.  The unexpected grace that surrounds you the very moment you surrender to being led, is the moment you surrender to living fully. 

Life goes by so fast.  Don't waste time trying to "stick to" a plan.  Just listen to that big little voice inside of you.  It has all of the answers and is willing to share them with you.  We just have to be still enough to receive the message and to be brave enough to know that we are safely held and guided by this beautiful Universe that is both inside and all around us. 

What plans can you surrender to in your life?  Now is the time!  Share with us, we would love to hear from you!

As always with love,
Jennifer

A Bump In The Road



Life happens in perfect timing.
Don't be concerned about what doesn't happen
and why.  Focus on what is happening now. Knowing
that if what is to be will happen in the future,
it will happen in the best of timing.

-Jennifer-



So I have hit a bump in the road.  As you all may know, I was preparing for yoga teacher training to begin this weekend.  Planning for this course has not been easy.  I found out about the course shortly after I started my new nursing position.  I knew it would be a challenge working my two jobs and then adding a third component to my schedule that was equivalent to another part time job.  But I knew I wanted to learn about this love of mine more deeply so I researched and started to plan.

Once I had the actual schedule and details I asked my supervisor if it would be possible to work around the class schedule once a month.  She replied, "As much as I don't want to say this, I have to say no because I just don't think this is the right time to make any changes to your schedule."  I was disappointed yet, I understood.  And in a sense I was relieved because it was going to be a very heavy load on top of everything else I was doing.  So I emailed the instructor of the class and told her what my supervisor had said and followed with this statement, "The Universe clearly has something else in mind for me at this time."  My instructor's reply kind of shocked me.  She said how shocked she was at my supervisor's response and told me, "You are meant to be in this class.  Don't give up. I will pray for you and you keep praying for this.  I know this is your time."  Although I appreciated her determination and understanding of my passion for this practice, I was thrown off by her response because I felt my intuition was telling me something different.  But at the same time I really wanted to take this class. 

I've learned the hard way about what I call Universal Code.  If you go against what the Universe has planned for you, you're asking for a lot of heart ache and disappointment.  If you listen and work with the Universe, it's not that you won't have challenges, you will just know how to better gauge your situations and make more purposeful decisions in life.

So I examined what my instructor said. I marked the weekends off my calendar for the course and I started talking as if I was going to take the class even though I had been told no.  I continued to pray.  And it seemed a little over a week ago that things were actually changing.  My supervisor came to me to talk and said we will soon need to make some adjustments to my schedule due to extra hours I would be working on certain days.  So I asked if it would be okay to make the adjustments now so I wouldn't miss out on the opportunity of the yoga course.  To my surprise she said yes to my request.  I was elated!  However, this meant I had less then one week to plan for the yoga course.  But I was willing and able to try to make it happen.

Then last night happened.  I talked with my instructor because it was brought up that there would be housing available for out of town students to stay.  Well because I was registering so late all of the housing was taken.  This meant the added expense of a hotel.  After crunching numbers for an hour I realized this just wasn't going to work. This was my bump in the road. Then a woman so graciously opened her home to me.  The problem was I was already driving a significant way to the course and  because she did not live near to the venue, this meant even more driving for which I had not anticipated.  Something just didn't feel right at this point.

I felt that overwhelming feeling of really wanting something so badly and coming to realize now really just isn't the time.  I'm not going to lie, I cried.  I cried a lot actually.  I can't remember the last time I have cried out of disappointment to be quite honest.  Which brought me to discover this.

My life is at peace.  A peace I have just newly really been able to enjoy.  My life is full of exciting new mini adventures every day.  But I am so happy and at peace with who and where I am.  I was able to thank Dr. Wayne Dyer personally awhile back for the inner peace his work has brought into my life.  Words could never be big enough to express what his work has done for me.  But living this life that I have now is thank you enough to the Universe.

Could I exhaust myself physically, mentally and financially in order to make this happen right now? Of course I could.  I wrote the article, The Rush for this very reason.  There is no reason to rush.  What is happening right now is all that we need.  What we plan for the future either will or will not be. All we can do is be willing because the Universe knows when we are able.  I am willing to walk into my fear and tackle the challenges that is this yoga course. The Universe knows I am able to do it as well.  Now, is just not the time.  I want to be able to enjoy every second of this course. I don't want to be bogged down with worrying about how tired I will be from over working myself and if I will have enough money for a very large unexpected expense.  So I will wait until the time is right.  There will be another class.  I do not know when exactly that will be.  I don't have to be concerned about that right now. What I do know is I am in love with this life I have in this very moment.  And I will live it to the fullest.  With each new day another door opens.  Even though the door to this yoga class has been cracked open, I will know in perfect time when this door will open fully. 

What bump in the road have you had to face?  How did you handle it?  Share with us we would love to hear from you!

As always with love,

Jennifer

Living Through Joy Meditation



Hello Spirit Launcher's and welcome back to meditation Wednesday!  This is where we all gather in our own space and focus as a community on the same loving intention at the same time of the day.  Tonight at 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific time we will join together to create a loving moment with ourselves and our community.  This will shed love and light to our world because after all, we are all light workers at heart. I always find it easiest to read through the meditation a few times before we begin.

So find a comfortable cross legged position, close your eyes and let's gather together to fill our heart's with the very spirit that carries us through life.



Living Through Joy Meditation
by Jennifer Fremion

We will begin with taking a long deep breath in and then slowly release.
Repeat this two more times.  Now breathe effortlessly.
Imagine the one thing in your life that makes your heart sing.
The one thing that you think or talk about that lights up your life from the inside out.
Feel what it feels like to be doing that very thing right now.
Let that sensation fill your heart and then your entire being.
Now imagine a white light filling your heart.
That white light is the energy of love that you carry for your joy in life.
Breathe in that energy and hold it for as long as you can.
Then release the breath slowly.  As you release, imagine the energy being shared
with the world around you. 
Take another deep breath in.  As you breathe in, imagine an overwhelming return
of love and joy revisiting your heart.
Hold that love there and then release again.
Sit in stillness and feel the change in your being.

This is the exchange of love we experience in life when we share our joy
with the world. Nothing is held back and everything is there to receive.

Namaste


How does this meditation work in your own life?  Share with us, we would love to hear from you!


As always with love,

Jennifer

Find Your Joy: The Article



Joy is not a mystery.
Joy is not a puzzle.
Joy is the essence of life that
is eagerly awaiting the ride.

-Jennifer-


Yesterday I introduced to you a wonderful woman by the name of Ruth Macris.  She defines herself as a wife, mom, and photographer.  One of her last statements in the interview was, "I'm just a mom who loves photos and who has been told she has some talent and is using it to make myself and other people happy."  So simply put.

So very simply, what is in your life that brings you joy?  What gets you excited and up in the morning like every day is a holiday?  What do you celebrate in your every day?  I know in my life part of my joy has become to live within the moment.  I always have so much going on that it can be so easy to focus on what is to be instead of what is.  Although planning is great and has to happen or not much would happen, it is not the end all.  There is so much going on in the now that if you don't take time out to see it, you miss its wonder.  The wonder of where did all of this come from and how is this all happening all at once.

I start my yoga teacher training this weekend.  This has been my joy for the last four years.  The thought of being able to do what I love for a full weekend once a month makes me absolutely giddy.  I am so excited to learn more about this love of mine, to learn more about myself and living life through this process and as well to meet all of the new people who will be in my life for the next eight months.

I thought about this today for the first time since I've been planning on taking this course.  Life in the past has brought me so many opportunities.  Opportunities to grow and expand beyond my comfort zone.  I was offered the chance to move out west to pursue my esthetics career and I got scared, so I didn't.  I wanted to move out to Arizona, just to move out to Arizona and I got scared, so I didn't.  I wanted to move to New York or L.A. to become a celebrity make up artist and I got scared, so I didn't.  This is the first time that I have actually planned to do something and yes I am scared as I've mentioned before of being away from home but this time, I am doing it.  Just typing these very words has brought me to tears because for the first time, I am actually following through for me.  I'm not stopping because of me or anybody else.  I keep going and growing and expanding.  I have astonished myself in this last year with all that I have accomplished.  All that I have learned from my own life and now all that I am sharing of my own life.

This last year has been such an incredible transformation for me because I have found my joy and I am basking in it.  This isn't a phase, this isn't a last minute change of heart, this is me...living.  Living the most honest life I have ever led. This is me being me and not afraid to shine my light on to the world.  I am joining in the game not shying away from it.  I can fully tell you it is much more fun actually being all in as opposed to half in or too afraid to be in at all.

Through joy I have learned that life is an everyday and every moment miracle.  The growing of my heart and myself has taught me the vastness that lies within me.  I have had all of the tools and characteristics I have ever needed.  I just needed to know how it is that I can use them to my greatest of abilities and then share them with the world.

I cannot wait to see myself through this yoga course get scared, get embarrassed at trying something new, get uncomfortable as I stretch far far away from my comfort zone, and to fall many times.  Only to brush myself off and to get back up again, because just as in life it is the joy that is guiding me and supplying me with the love that I need to shine through anything that is thrown my way.  Life will always be a challenge. Yet the challenge in life is to always be able to find its beauty and to find the joy.

I am not hiding anymore.  Life is brighter, more colorful, more lovely, and more joyous than I could have ever dreamed it to be.  Joy does this.  Because joy is love and love is joy.  So get entangled in the richness that is living.  It has been here waiting for you all along.

Where can you find your joy today?  Within that joy what does it teach you about yourself?  Share with us, we would love to hear from you!

As always with love,

Jennifer

Find Your Joy: The Interview



Ruth Macris is a native of New Orleans.  Her marketing career has taken her to Washington, D.C. and now Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is a wife and mother of three teenager's first and foremost.  But photography has been a lifetime love for Ruth. As a child she would consume much of her time just looking at photos.  She could get lost for hours in the detail of the very moment that lay in a permanent frame for her to see. She got her first camera at the age of twelve.  She said it was a polaroid instant camera from her parent's one Christmas in which she immediately fell in love with.

Her love continued throughout her childhood.  She then took her first photography class in college and the entire process was mesmerizing for Ruth.  From finding the most perfect picture to then developing the film and watching it come to life was pure excitement for her. 

She graduated college with a degree in marketing, public relations and advertising. When asked why Ruth chose to go into marketing as opposed to photography she answered, "I was extremely shy. I had always been a shy child.  I enjoyed the graphics in marketing. It never even occured to me to major in photography.  I was trying to be practical in what I could find job wise in the work field after I graduated.  So I went into marketing and being a shy child this was perfect for me because I was forced to go out and talk to people.  It helped to bring me out of my own shell."  Through this outlet she was able to see the power and influence photography had in many different markets.  

After college, Ruth moved to Washington D.C. to pursue her marketing profession, yet she continued to take classes in photography just for the sheer joy of it. It was during the photo shoots for advertisements that Ruth began to revisit her passion in photography. "I would watch the photographer during the shoots and would want to be in their place and would just watch them and think wow, I would love to do that.  But the problem was, deep down I thought I couldn't do it.  Even though my mother told me this is what I was supposed to be doing, I didn't think I could do it.  It was when I had my own children and would send pictures to family and do my friend's family Christmas photos that my mom kept saying to me why aren't you doing this?  That was when I realized I didn't just love what I was doing, I was good at what I was doing."

After hurricane Katrina many of Ruth's family photos from her childhood were destroyed. "This was devastating for me because pictures are so precious and we lost most of my childhood pictures in the storm." Ruth stated. "We have boxes and boxes of pictures in my own home because after losing so many of my own childhood pictures I am terrified of that happening to us. So I keep them all."  Ruth has found her joy in taking pictures of families and individuals for keep sakes and memories because she understands the preciousness that each photo brings to a family's album of memories.

"I love taking pictures of people.  It is not only capturing the moment and seeing their joy, it is seeing their reaction when they see the pictures.  It is not only the taking of it, it is also the giving of the photos because it brings me joy." says Ruth.  "I love talking to the individuals, editing and capturing their personalities in the pictures."

Through the years Ruth's mom continued to ask her why she wasn't doing photography for a business.  Then life happened in a string of events that Ruth could have never seen coming.  "My mom got cancer and had complications through her cancer treatment and was in the hospital for ten weeks and then hurricane Katrina hit and destroyed my parent's house.  Both of my parent's came and moved with me and then my dad died suddenly.  My mom lived with us for the next year.  During that time my mom's cancer came back and she then died.  My parent's were very young, they were only 65 when they passed. They were always my biggest cheerleaders.  My parent's were just the kindest most gentle souls."

Through her personal tragedies, Ruth found a light.  One of her close friend's had a baby and Ruth asked if she could take baby pictures for her.  Her friend agreed and after that photo session word of mouth of her photography started to spread.  Ruth was being asked by friends and family to take family photos.  "This was great but I wanted to do the pictures for free and no one would let me do that.  So they would pay me with gift cards and other things.  I just felt funny asking for money because I love taking pictures and that's just what I want to be doing.  It is my joy not my job. That is why my prices are much lower than other photographers because I just want to be able to take people's pictures and see the joy the pictures bring to them."

Over the last year Ruth's photography has gained in popularity.  She created her own website in order to have her work on display to share with everyone. "As I was submitting my website, I could feel my mom and dad cheering me on.  It was a really special moment for me.  I am so happy I get to share my joy through photography.  I feel very blessed to be able to do what I do."

Since your joy isn't your job, what advice do you have for someone who is not looking for a career change but feels as though there could be more to their life?
"You have to find your joy.  What is it that makes you excited in life?  What makes you happy? Find what that is and do it.  You don't have to be the best at it and you don't have to do it as a day job.  All you have to do is find what brings joy to your life and find some way to do it.  Don't spend time just thinking about doing it.  I did that.  I used to think yeah, I probably should be doing photography. I probably should be doing more with this and it wasn't until I finally did, that it all made sense to me.  I find my joy within photography."

How as a mother do you communicate the importance to your children to find their own joy in life?
"They are teenagers so at this point I'm not sure if they hear anything I say (laughter).  But I hope I have been an example to them of the importance of giving back to the world and being of service to others.  I made sure they saw me volunteering at their schools, they have helped me get meals ready for the Hope House at Lutheran Hospital and things like that.  I hope now in the last year of really doing my photography and them seeing how much joy that has brought me, they will see that is exactly what they need to do.  Do I make a lot of money doing this, no.  But I want them to see it is more important to be happy with what you are doing than how much money you are making. I'm not an extra special person.  I'm just a mom who loves photos and who has been told she has some talent and is using it to make myself and other people happy."


Thank you so much Ruth for sharing your story with us. You are a true Spirit Launcher at heart.  Thank you for following through with your love and sharing your joy of photography with the world. To see more of Ruth's beautiful photos go to http://macrisphotography.zenfolio.com/.

How can you find your joy today?  How are you already living your joy in life?  Share with us we would love to hear from you.

As always with love,

A New Constant



Constancy is the ever existance of
the beat of our own heart.
But when it stops to a new becoming,
 even in the echo of its own power,
our spirit never stands alone.

-Jennifer-


Constancy in an ever changing world can seem like an oxymoron at best.  Yet the habits that we create lead us to the habits that we live out day to day and in turn, lead to the kind of life we live day to day.   We all have habits, that is just the nature of our creation.  We can label them good or bad.  For instance you could say, "I have a really good habit of getting up in the morning and working out to start off my day."  Or you could say,"I have a really bad habit of biting my nails when I get nervous."  But let's talk about the habits that can lead to the type of existance we live. I'm not a huge fan of putting labels of "good" or "bad"on things. I still am working on getting out of that habit myself, so let's explore the effects our habits have on our day to day existance.

My old habits; waking up in the morning tired, focusing on what all I have to do and how much I don't want to do it, not working out consistently, not eating well consistently, not giving myself a break consistently, not looking for the bigger meaning in things, asking "why me?", making excuses for my actions or inaction, not saying "Thank You" for the lessons as they come, not recognizing opportunity for growth as it comes, playing victim, putting myself in positions to be a victim, knowing better and not doing better, and not saying "Thank You" for my life every day.  This is just a small list that I've been working on, but I think it gives you the idea. 

I don't mind calling myself out on my own stuff...ever.  It can sometimes surprise people who don't know me well, of how honest I can be about myself.  I think in all fairness we are all learning along the way so why not just call it all out there if it serves a purpose?  How can we change anything if we aren't addressing it and laying it out on the table.  It doesn't have to be for the whole world to see, however by doing that we let the whole world know we hold ourselves accountable for our own stuff.  And remember there is never a perfect science behind anything. We will try and fail an uncountable amount of times. The point is to try to learn from those fails and to be honest with ourselves throughout them.  If we are not being honest with ourselves down to our core, then what exactly are we doing?

Now that we recognize our habits as being non productive and in someways destructive, what do we do now?  I remember this point in my life as if it was yesterday.  I was sitting on my couch analyzing a certain situation.  It was a familiar scenario that kept playing over and over again in my life.  I asked myself, "Why does this keep happening?"  Then it hit me,  I've been doing the same kind of thing my whole life and I keep coming back to this place of disappointment each time.  What if I start doing the opposite of what I've been doing?  Wouldn't the outcome have to be different?  The answer, absolutely!

So now instead of waking up tired, I get enough sleep so I wake up not being tired in the morning.  I started to say "Thank you" for this new day and new opportunity on this Earth to continue to do the work I was sent here to do.  I started eating healthy, working out and meditating consistently.  I started looking for the lessons and saying "Thank You" to everything instead of asking, "why me?"  Now it wasn't easy in the begining to make this transition.  It was actually uncomfortable to say the least.  My mind was so set on my old habits that the newness of these actions made me at times want to crawl out of my own skin.  But as I continued to follow through with them, my life also started to follow through with new answers and different experiences.  This takes time but when we start building new constants in our lives, things change because we have changed.  The barriors we have formed with our old habits start to be chiseled away, and our truth begins to shine and be seen again.

When we introduce new constants in our lives, the old ones that no longer serve us fall away on their own.  We begin to realize we don't need to label experiences or people as good or bad because they are all here to show and teach us something.  Something about them, but ultimately something about ourselves as we are put in those situations. 

One of my favorite new constants is making a point in my day as I am walking or driving to look up at the sky and find the Sun. The beauty of this expanding perfect painting by our Divine that lives above us at all times literally takes my breath away everytime. It's never ending beauty, that if we don't make a habit of, we tend to forget it is there for us to love and appreciate.

If we can remember that it can be the constants of our ever changing world that keep us focused, grounded, thankful, and open to the new constants that are created from the old. We must make a conscious decision of what those constants will be in our lives.  We must be patient with ourselves as we make room for the new and brush away the old ones we have learned are no longer a necessary way of life. What we tell ourselves about our life is what we will live out in our life.  If we reach for a more purposeful habit today, greatness shall soon follow for tomorrow.   

What new constants can you create in your own life?  What old constants can fall away?  Share with us we would love to hear from you!

As always with love,

Jennifer
