Tatiana the Dog talks about Maja and her book

Welcome to TheSmilingSoul blog !

As our being here on Earth is a journey filled with a variety of choices,we might often fall into the trap of unforgivness. Talking about it usually makes people feel bad about themselves,as we all have had in our lives persons who have hurt us in some way,and we have been told that in order to be good people,we must readily forgive and forget. It is not that easy. Forgiveness is a concept that has been misinterpreted in many ways. The most wonderful thing you can do for your soul and the soul of another, is to forgive. I encourage it strongly for the sake of your own peace of mind and heart,and that the negative energy that surrounds your soul connected to unforgiveness can be dispersed. What I wanted to say though, is what forgiving REALLY means in terms of your future connection to the person you forgave.

Sometimes,it is not a big hurt in your heart; you can pick up where you left off with the person concerned and all will be well. But,what happens if someone has hurt you deeply, you feel used,or unloved? I’m talking about feelings of friendship betrayal or a love relationship falling apart. The thing to remember is that we are all here to learn. We make mistakes on our way. We trip,we fall, get up, dust our clothes and go running or limping off- depending on the fall. One thing is important to realize – You can forgive someone by saying to him/her in your heart or into their face ” I feel I didn’t deserve what you did to me. I am not able to give you a place in my life you had before,as I would betray the love and respect I have for my SELF. I forgive you in the sense that I wish you no harm,and I want you to know that I love your CORE ,your essence,and I set you free. I am grateful for the lesson you taught me,and I wish you all goodness in life”.
This way – you are getting rid of the bitterness and sadness you feel,and giving the other person a chance to evolve and think deeply about their actions. Perhaps they will learn – perhaps not, but that is not your concern at that instant of your life. To Love doesn’t mean to endlessly let people trample all over you; to LOVE means to accept diversity and know that not all people we meet are meant to be out best friends nor are they all made to fit to our standards, so to remove ourselves emotionally from such a person is the best thing Love can do. We all have our different challenges,and we cope differently. Our paths cross,and then separate. We change,we grow,we hurt…

Forgiveness is a realease. It is a wonderful feeling and it reminds you where you have come from. It is impossible to be friends with everyone. We are different in many ways -not worse or better than the next person – just different. We are vibrationally not aligned with everyone,and that is okay too.What we CAN do ,is to just realize this with peace,and stop trying to find fault in ourselves for every situation that goes wrong,and stop blaming and labeling ourselves as “broken” if we can’t go on being close and chummy with someone who has hurt us badly. Forgive – and release. The person may find a way back into your heart – with time. That will be your own soul’s choice and you will know what it is whispering to you. Giving someone a second chance can be a blessing. There are no mistakes. It is all about LOVE . And it starts with YOU. So forgive yourself first,by allowing yourself to believe that you have the right to be respected,and that you’re worthy of the Divine love you’re already a part of. Thus,you’ll forgive others more easily,and regain your balance quickly by LOVING yourself,others, and your life that keeps unfolding. Move on with hope and optimism,as you are a worthy being!

Be happy.

Marry Christmas and Happy New Year.
My wishes for you…

Gently weaves the night its cloak,
gently moon shines on the field
Gently mother rocks her child
Gently angels your soul shield.
Gently stardust touches ground
Gently sun rays kiss the sea
Gently wind twirls leaves above
Gently sways the love in me.

Gentleness is heart’s sweet smile
Gentleness is love’s first goal:
Gentleness is lightening up
Your beautiful Smiling Soul…

Nothing is so strong as gentleness and nothing is so gentle as real strength.

“Perhaps the only limits to the human mind are those we believe in” – Willis Harman

Your beauty is shining so brightly that in your presence night can only be an illusion

The biggest fear you have is nothing compared to the greatest love you feel, use that love to disperse the fear illusion.

I see only light when I look inside your soul,I see the face of Creator in your smile

What you feel when you look at the sun rising is the remeberence of your own Birth Vision, your own life starting anew, each day…

There’s no ailment love can’t heal, no pain that love can’t conquer, no distance love can’t surpass..love is what we are, it is contained in Us…

A Smile speaks all languages known to angels and fairies,women and men, galaxies and universes

Spread your wings and try to fly

It is nothing new for you

Just close your eyes and remember

Fly toward your dreams
on the magical wings of your heart

Present moment is sparkling like a crown jewel
It is yours, reach out and take it
bless it
breathe it
live it

Erase the past and the future
you don’t need it
Create a scene of peace and grace
and fly toward it
spread your wings
fly fly fly
live live live
breathe breathe breathe

The sky is yours
so is the sun
in this dream we are living
we are all One
One truth
one spirit
one love
Fly fly fly
oh beautiful spark of God that you are…

May your path be sunlit wherever you go
May the dove of peace keep you under her wing
May your footprints leave a trail of smiles in the snow
and your voice sparkle with joy when you sing.

May your soul love a thousand more souls
and may this great love be joyous and free
May each new day be as a river that flows
knowing no boundries on its way to the sea

May your smile glow like a beacon at night
may each breath you take be sweet and divine
May your mind be open and your eyes filled with light
May your songs reach far ,may your grace shine.

May peace be your companion wherever you go
May angels whisper to you while you sleep
May my Love keep you through wind and through snow
May you have my heart forever to keep…

Beauty surrounds us. If we choose to notice it, we can be amazed how present it is in our lives. I’m not talking about commercialised view of beauty, but the pure essence of it; its presence in every day of our lives! There is so much beauty out there, that many of us have become immune to its true essence.

The saying that goes “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” can be altered a bit, to help me make my point ;. I would say ,” Beauty is in the HEART of the beholder”. Here is why.

When we see a laughing baby – our heart smiles. The song of a nightingale stirrs our souls, and gazing at a starry sky makes our eyes shine as the stars themselves. All that is beauty, and though the song of the nightengale doesn’t have a physical form we say it’s Beautiful, just as we say for the sky we see, and the baby that laughs and in its sweetnes touches our hearts. Beauty comes from the Love we feel in our hearts, the appreciation that it evokes for all the Source has created and given us so lovingly. The more we love something or someone , the more beautiful they become. That, once again, proves that beauty is in the closest possible conection with our feelings, and again, it assures us that its origin is not of this dimension.Beauty is appreciated with ALL our senses,and that’s what makes it so close to LOVE –

Paintings, sculptures, classical music, handicrafts of all kinds, women, men,children, animals, nature in all its wonder – everything and everyone we can call beautiful – in their essence have love, for where there is no love, there’s no beauty. Beauty without love is just an illusion, a short – sightedness which passes faster than a blink of an eye. But, if we look at the Creation of the Universe with an open heart and appreciation for its exsistence, we will NEVER find anything ever created without beauty!
We are beautiful as we ARE. No matter our physical appearence, no matter how you feel about your body – you ARE beautiful. Beauty is inside every being and in every part of the Earth; the fields and the trees, and the thundering sky,and the breeze; the true beauty ,in fact ,lies in US being who we really are, by being AUTHENTIC to our own life’s manuscript; by applying the beauty of our souls into the very essence of our existance here on this plane, so that we may all rejoice in its blossoms!
I just wanted to say – I see you with my heart, you’re beautiful, and I Love you!
Once again, my Soul Smiles…

Through centuries and universes
through clouds and rain
just to land on your palm
to present to you
the bloom of enlightement
magically assembled into a flower in your hand
like a dream come true
a dream forgotten so long ago.

The scent of eternity ,of stars of magic spreads
The scent of home and sanctuary
The scent of rememberance of something dear yet long forgotten
far away yet so close to your heart

Inhale the scent and travel
travely with your soul
wherever it leads you
freedom is your ship
joy is your map
wisdom is your rudder
remeberance is your ocean
and love, only love
always love- your journey.

May the best of winds follow you on your way…
