The Journey - Getting Personal

When I started writing it was  02:18 am where I live.  I was awakened and summoned from my slumber to meet my truth.  Many years ago in the wake of a loss, many losses all at once, family therapy seemed to be the way to restore my sleep then, since it was ambivalently not open to a way to evoke restoring my body.  An intuitive therapist taught me to be awake to my un-sleep through truth. Over two decades later and I am here again, it is my mind, and heart getting me to see and process my truth(s).  Everybody's truth is different, for some it may be  seeing a situation for what it was but for me it is admitting my lack of capacity to deal with a situation and I needed help to take a moment to recover and refocus. Somehow over the years I have come the sordid conclusion that not being put together  Aka strong, was bad form or worse  a weakness.  Recently, amid the challenges we all face with COV-19, I found that it is okay, to have a mom...

MINDFUL POWER - WHO SAID YOU COULDNT - YOU DID

Have you ever found yourself at a place where you experienced an enlightened moment, followed with euphoric passion.  You wanted to conquer the world because you had a dream, goal that was driven with an incredible amount of energy.  As you worked toward this goal there may have been an unnoticed moment that had a crescendo affect to douse that passionate fire with doubt, sometimes  shame.  This limited thinking disguised as shame, doubt and guilt are horrid bed partners.  They often choose to assassinate our capacity to do great things.  This is induced by our subconscious to limit our thinking and deduce us to a place where a goal or life's purpose is sabotaged. Limiting thinking sneaks up from our subconscious brain unwittingly when we disturb/disrupt the status quo. The thought patterns derail our intentions to perform outside the norm.  Some of those thoughts could be that we are not good enough, or we don't have the time, and who will list...

BE POSITIVE, DO GRATITUDE, HAVE MORE LIGHT

Prequil: Writing is a process and frequently timing is everything.  Some weeks ago, while pondering how I could give  back to the world, I began to pen this post.  In retrospect, I believe this post is needed now more than ever considering the current conditions of the world.  How do we create more light, gratitude and positive moments when the world is experiencing such a tumultuous upheaval unlike anything any generation has ever experienced. Bar none even a world war. GROWING POSITIVE VIBRATIONS THROUGH KINDNESS Life and all it intricacies can certainly create a proverbial hot mess if you do not plan, prepare and change your expectations.  Expectations are those values and principals we live by, but unfortunately cannot expect others to be as we are individually.  Often when expectations fall to the ground unmet, we get angry at the world because everyone should know what we believe in and act that way. Unfortunately we are not mind readers and beca...

A Journey Traveled - Circling Back

Where Have All the Flowers Gone? One might ask yourself that question after a significant period of time has passed and you look back over your shoulder and see the many trenches, pitfalls and distractions on your life path you have endured.  Perhaps asking where have all the flowers gone is a great analogy for the more certain and true questions - How have I lived my life on this journey? Who did I influence and make a difference for? Did I stop and create the flowers in my life that blossomed into a wonderful moment? Were the moments in my life seeds sewn to create beauty and positivity with others? What is my legacy and how have I served others? Certainly, at some point in our lives these or similar questions pose for us moments of pondering and reflection.  Why is that we wait for a tragedy or difficult challenge to ask ourselves such inwardly directly questions?  Why are we not evaluating our goals and directions daily. The circle of life offers us ...

The Commodity of Love and Romance

It is human nature from the moment we are born to crave the compelling and palatable feeling of touch; human touch and often the intangible emotion called love.  A phenomenon that is not just specific to humans, all mammals and creature that inhabit this vast world are no different.  Go to  your local zoo and watch what you discover as animals and creatures of all shapes and sized interact through touch, taste and smell.  Specifically for this observation it LOVE through touch. What is the significance of touch.  Touch is a sensory output that ignites chemistry or pheromone that in part creates attraction.  Attraction leads to higher levels of human intimacy.  LOVE.  The infinite and eternal nature of love has sunk ships, destroyed nations, created feuds, given mystery and intrigue to high power presidencies and monarchy. Yet it is the one commodity in this media and electronic age that is gaining market presence with dating websites around...
