Weekly Photo Challenge: Window

Posted on January 10, 2014 by Crystal Nuding

The windows in Guatemala were beautiful. Actually the windows, the architecture, the people the country… all beautiful. The time spent there changed my life and taught me so much about perspective. Our life is exactly how we see it. What perspective are you taking?

Always something beautiful to see… have a peek at Lake Atitlan!

Lots of bars… but flowers too!

The detail amazes me! How’d they do that?

Enjoying a cup of coffee and the cool view.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Habit

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Crystal Nuding

Oh La Fonda….
How do I love thee?

La Fonda Chips & Salsa - CrystalNuding.com for Personal and Business Consulting

My most important food group.

Let me count the ways.
One, two, three, four, five, six…
Well, hell. It’s a lot!

La Fonda Chicken Flautas! - CrystalNuding.com for Personal and Business Consulting

And the winner is… Chicken Flautas!

This is a weekly habit for Dionne and I. We are never disappointed.

We love the food and the people. We’ve been eating at La Fonda for the past 10 years. It’s a favorite spot that makes me happy just driving there. When we walk in everyone says hi and Sylvia brings out what she already knows we want. We’ve shared this treasure with everyone in our family and anyone that comes to visit. It’s top of the list when folks come to stay with us.

When we order breakfast tacos through the drive through on a week-end morning most times they’ll say… “Is this for Crystal?”

To which I reply… “You know it!”

If you’re driving down I-35 through San Marcos, TX and need your Mexican food fix…. I highly recommend checking out the LF. You can thank me later.

Many Blessings

Posted on April 16, 2013 by Crystal Nuding

In the wake of the shocking and upsetting incident in Boston, I am witnessing more and more of what I’ve been watching happen for a while now. The world is changing. People are reaching out and caring for one another.

I have seen infinitely more love and support than outrage. Not that outrage is wrong, it should be felt and moved through like all feelings. It’s just not productive to project it to the rest of the world. Of course the perpetrator/s will be discovered and justice will be served, but I prefer and appreciate the focus of so many people on the many blessings, the helpers.

I love how Abraham has shared with us that the people intimately involved in a tragedy actually deal with it better than those of us far away who don’t have the opportunity to physically help and be a part of the comforting and healing.

Many folks involved are thrilled to be alive and gain a fresh perspective on life. And while, yes, they may be injured, even to the point of loosing a limb, they recognize the gift they have been given. Life. Now.

As someone thousand’s of miles away that can’t physically jump in and begin to help, many can get stuck in their thinking about the upset and worry over what has happened or could happen. We want to do something. We want something done.

While our society greatly values physical action, your powerful, positive and loving thoughts do much more for the people of the tragedy than you might realize.

We live in a world of oscillating fields(we are them and they are everything… science lesson later) and when you hold the vision of health, happiness and harmony for others you are affecting their field. We can stand firmly where we are, hold the vision of peace, love, soothing and healing in our hearts and give that to the people directly affected by the tragedy and those many blessings, the precious helpers that were within reach this time.

Life is a roller coaster. Tragedy happens, right alongside heroism, compassion and kindness. Recognize the trouble and immediately throw yourself into the solution. Allow the moment you need to soothe yourself and then you can begin to soothe others.

You are much more powerful than you know. Shine your light and let’s wrap Boston and the tender human beings there in loving kindness, peace and hope.

The rain always clears and the sun always shines again.
Let that be your reminder to allow what is to pass so that what will be can come.

You are loved and cared for in ways you can’t imagine. Count your many blessings daily and be sure to count yourself as a blessing to others. You are.

Be Your Own Valentine

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Crystal Nuding

Be Your Own Valentine!

This time of year, whether coupled or not, many find ourselves longing. Society, media and big business have a lot riding on your not feeling happy and complete. If you’re constantly longing, you’re constantly buying. The next biggest thing… new car, new clothes to keep up with the latest fashion, whatever it takes to feel better.

Many folks spend this time of year wishing for someone to love and adore them, even when they may already have someone who does.

We all want someone who will understand us, treat us with kindness, compassion and always appreciate our eccentricities.

Though we think we want it from other people, who we really need it from is much closer. The single most important relationship we will have in our entire lives is with ourselves.

Your true and perfect partner is you. The way you treat yourself in the quiet of your own mind will be directly reflected in your outer life and circumstances.

Too many of us spend our lives waiting for that perfect someone to soothe us and care for us in the way we want and need to be cared for. But, actually giving ourselves what we need is the quickest way to create it in our outer life reality.

No matter your past or how your life has been up until this point, things can change and you can have what you want.

When you find yourself feeling vulnerable, soothe yourself. Allow yourself to be reminded that we are all fragile human beings that spend way too much time in our heads and not enough time in our hearts (bodies).

Take yourself out to dinner. Run yourself a bubble bath and get yourself your own favorite treat. Spend time physically soothing and pampering yourself.

Do this for yourself. Be kind and compassionate in your mind when you need support and the universe will respond accordingly. If you are critical of yourself and others, you will find the world to be a very critical place. Begin finding beauty in everyone and everything you see and that too will be reflected in your world.

Taking the time to appreciate what you currently have while daydreaming about what you want and visualizing things that please you will yield profound results.

Rather than chocolate or flowers this Valentine’s day, give yourself the gift that will change your life. Be your own best friend. If you need help get it. Let life be easy. Learn to support and uplift yourself and you will be amazed at what happens in your world. I’m here to help.

Love Notes

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Crystal Nuding

Check out my article in the latest edition of Austin All Natural Magazine….

Write more Love Notes!

LOVE NOTES

What do you want in your life? What is missing? Take a moment to feel your true hearts desire. Decide what area of your world needs new life breathed into it and start there.

As you’ve heard before, focus creates reality.

How many times are we willing to sit around with a friend and talk about what we don’t like, don’t have, can’t get or have waited and waited for? But, how often are we willing to sit down by ourselves and put pen to paper in favor of what we truly do want? One easy way to do that is by writing short little love notes.

Write a love note to yourself. Appreciate all of the things you love about yourself and vow to clean up your act when the situation calls for it.

Write one to money. Give it your appreciation and write of the exciting adventures you’ll go on. Appreciate you’ve been gifted with credit to receive things you need and your ability and commitment to repay those debts.

Write one to your perfect partner. (attached or no) Appreciate all of the things your partner does for you (or what you want them to do.) Get excited about the love you share (or will share) and the laughter and fun of your wonderful relationship.

Do yourself a favor

Focusing your powerful mind on what you want is the best and fastest way to bring about the change you are looking for.

As Valentine’s Day rolls around and the media continues it’s never ending campaign to make you feel bad about not having the right whatever remember, you alone get to choose what and whom you fill your life with.

Take a moment to decide what it is you truly want and make the decision to allow it. Apologize to you for being so hard on yourself and begin a new love affair with your life.

Drop the old boring concept of drama being mysterious and attractive. Your happy heart and positive mental attitude will make you a magnet for all you desire.
