Haunts of the Past

Does the past come creeping into your thoughts and tie your belly into knots?
What has so much power, still.....that it cripples you in your steps...instantly?
Has there been a moment of clarity when you had a brief glimpse of the truth....
Perhaps this person, place or thing  that owns your power is not even aware of it!

You gave your power away in a pretty package, all wrapped up as an unwanted gift and presented fully to the one you fear, and they have no idea they walk around with what is rightfully yours!
What do you do????

RECLAIM your power, visualize yourself with this person or event and TAKE BACK WHAT IS YOURS!
Then, the other person no longer carries the weight of your energy that was forced upon them, and you become more whole, instantly!

Off with you into meditation, and reclaim those parts of yourself you gave away. Do this as many times as you need to, in as many meditative situations as you need to.  No one else can do this for you...be brave, be assertive, be aggressive if it is called for!  GO........Go......NOW!

In Love with Life!

It is such a magical time in my life right now! I realized that this should be shouted from rooftops and printed on the front page of major papers!

This just in:
LIFE CAN BE A GOOD EXPERIENCE

As Dan says, love makes her play and never leaves, even though the hands are not ours to choose.We may win, we may lose, but there we are! We play the hands we are dealt and we try again if we walk away from the table defeated.

So it is with life. In these times we find ourselves in it is often so difficult to see the crack of light at the bottom of a closed door. We may miss a blessing as we are reeling from a bitter curse. We may completely forget that life is a miracle, a gift and a grand adventure.

So, to sum this up, I would like to ask you to be willing to allow the light to bust the door wide open and to expect good stuff in the midst of the heaviness of everyday life. When your royal flush is discovered, played and revered, spread some of the love around that comes with owning a winning hand, even if it is only once in a while!

May you find joy in your life today. I share mine with you gladly, freely and happily NOW!

It's them, not you

Lonely makes people do silly things.....they lie, they cheat, they present themselves falsely. They want you to stay, so many have left them before.

Will you stay if you know their real self?
Will you return when you walk out the door?
If you knew the truth would you love them?

When you are mistreated by another person, do a quick inventory......most times you will find they reacted or acted in a certain manner because of THEM not YOU.

Before you react, think.
Before you assume you are the problem, look for the solution.
Owning a lie that is not yours to own helps no one.

I saw myself reflected....

Life, is it moving in the direction you had hoped it would?
Are you cryin?
It's ok to cry......as long as the tears teach you something.

Tears are deep teachers

 as they drop, they cleanse

As they cleanse, they open

As they open, they heal

If life isn't going your way

sit down and have a good cry

with yourself

See where you are then

In the reflection of your tears

you can find

your soul's true direction

and even.... peace

The Past

A friend I made
A dark friend
A revealing friend
A journey of trepidation
we began

She bestowed upon me
wisdom
through hindsight
She taught me that fear is
unnecessary as an enemy

Fear, we befriended together
AH! The peace I possessed
then
Standing in the healed fear
that froze me in my steps before...

I embraced my past
and she has proven
to be the steadfast companion
I was searching for

A subtle glance behind me
was the unreconciled  key
to allowing myself...
forward  movement

Following Pathways....dedicated to my friend, Sharon

If you want me to follow

give me your truth

Follow you, I shall...

if it honors me to do so

The soul that leads must be

real, mature, unencumbered

by ego, fear and false pride

The soul in front takes the bullets

with no complaining

But, instead, with knowledge that they

protect those behind

To lead is not to be held up high

but rather to be stricken down

for the cause if need be.

Fight No More

I am a true lover of the BLUES! Dan loved them as well and he knew that the Blues are not always a down thing. Blues music is feeling music, real music....music we all relate to! So, be you up, down, loved, unloved......you will always find a connection in the Blues.

War.....why?

For lines on a map

For my right, your wrong

Are we not all right in our own 

Mind?

What if we knew that we are

all One Mind?

We are all connected

We all influence each other

What if we communicated

Compromised

Did what is best for

all?

What if the word

"I"

Never existed

Only We

If we said we

more often

would we wage war?

Or peace?

We need peace

War does not serve

Wage Peace, so

We are free to

FIGHT NO MORE!
