Here at Angelic Journeys and Replenish Your Spirit Coaching, I am all about adding richness to our otherwise “ho-hum” regular lives by incorporating the magic and richness of spirituality into our everyday existence. I often think of myself as a “soccer Mom” who also dances with the Angels and communes with Mother Earth 
Spirituality doesn’t have to be only prayers and meditation, although those are great too. But I love calling in to me the wonderful energy of all that is here for us, whether it is the energy of color, the energy of the elements (Air, Fire, Water, Earth), the energy of music, the energy of trees…the list goes on and on.
Today I started my blog post (below) which talks about the deep affect one part of the movie “Mamma Mia!” had on me the first time I watched it. When I felt I’d take a break and go for my walk, I decided to bring my iPod to listen to the “Mamma Mia!” soundtrack while I walked. The sun was out and the sky was blue and I had that music playing which just put a spring in my step! Actually, so much so that I was walking at a quicker clip than normal – keeping in time with the beat of the song. It just lifted up my Spirit so much! During the song “Dancing Queen” I saw in my mind’s eye that I was right there with those women in the movie, skipping and twirling along that trail that took them to the water. I could feel the energy of it as if I was physically doing it! Pretty soon I was “flying high” and feeling gratitude! What an energy booster! When I got home, with the music still playing, I let myself belt out the songs (since only my cat and dog could hear me and danced around the laundry room as I put the clothes from the washer into the dryer. Now THAT’S the way to do housework!
I remember hearing friends telling me that when they went to see that movie when it first came out, there were women dancing in the aisles throughout the movie. Ah! I wished I had gone to see it at one of those times. I would have loved to be immersed in that fun sisterhood energy! That also is spirituality. Spirit is present in all that joy.
So, perhaps the next time you need to clear your head, or want to get your body moving, or get a little pick-me-up, go grab your iPod and put on some uplifting music to accompany you on your walk. Call your Angels to come walk with you (or skip or dance with you in your mind’s eye). Or just start dancing around your living room. Connect to Spirit in a fun, magical, joyful way! Joy is one of the highest vibrations, so do what you can whenever you can to bring yourself some joyful energy. That’s an easy way to Replenish Your Spirit!
Now for the blog post I was talking about:
Back in 2008 the movie “Mamma Mia!” came out. It was such an uplifting and fun musical! However, I found myself deeply affected by one part of the movie. It was during the “Dancing Queen” song. Meryl Streep plays the part of a Mom who has worked hard for many years, raising her daughter and running her business. The song’s scene starts with two of her friends from the good old days, who ask her, “What happened to you?” and she answers, “I grew up!” They start being silly and having fun and getting her out of her funk. The three of them skip off, with many of the other nearby women leaving their chores or their husbands to join in the fun. As I watched them all skip and dance along the trail, looking so carefree, leaving their responsibilities behind…the tears just started rolling down my face. It hit me hard that I was really craving that feeling. Being a busy mom, with so many responsibilities, and always pushing myself hard to keep my work and home lives going, it was really easy for me to put fun and recharging my batteries last on my to-do list. That day at the movies was a good wake-up call and reminder to take care of ME too. I now keep it in my awareness to do simple things that rejuvenate me or uplift me. I live the “busy woman’s life” and know how easy it is to forget to put ourselves as one of the priorities. This is why I absolutely and passionately LOVE doing my Replenish Your Spirit coaching work with women! I’ve been there; and to be perfectly honest, I still struggle with it at times. And I love watching women begin to glow again! To help them release hidden beliefs that have kept them from their joy. To hold their hands through a journey of transformation and empowerment. So they can become a “Dancing Queen”! Wow – I’ve got the greatest job that Spirit has led me to!
