You live your destiny when you show up as YOU. Your ego can’t live it for you!… More
Are you stuck, fighting?
Sometimes being stuck is about fighting too hard, out of fear, rather than flowing with the force, the force of love.… More
Your Paradise …
I hope you have found paradise this summer. I hope you have found the place where everything is okay. It is within you.
And when you find it, your external world reflects its peace and beauty. It is perfect — not because it is ideal by anybody else’s standards, but because it is ideal by yours. It is ideal by yours because you see it through knowing eyes, and because you trust that you are getting exactly what you need. And because you are open to getting what you need from what’s there, you do.
It is like being on a vacation perfectly planned by your psychotherapist, your mentor, and your personal trainer. You trust them to serve your highest good. You are able to feel the sweetness in tears; you sit with your feelings beside the water. You are able to see the growth in sore muscles; you relax into a full-body massage in the garden. You are refreshed.
Your spirit sings. Your lips invite kisses. Your heart and your mind are open. You are present to delight in what is, without worrying about what is not.
If you haven’t found your paradise this summer, you can. It’s not going anywhere!… More
What does a conscious choice in the face of passion look like?
We can lack the presence of mind to get to know somebody when we’re caught in the throes of passion!
Remember when your mom told you not to date somebody you wouldn’t want to marry? You may have thought it was silly at the time. To me, marriage seemed a million miles away from dating. And so did sex — I didn’t even know what sex was.
Now that I have indulged in sex, though, it’s more difficult to forego; and it can be easy to get “involved.”
Most of us aren’t really interested in sex without intimacy; but at the same time, we’re not terribly interested in intimacy without the possibility of passionate sex. So, we’re drawn to passion, but have a tough time holding it off long enough to determine the potential for intimacy!
Still, I think there’s a case to be made for the stand-alone date or the stand-alone kiss. A kiss doesn’t have to lead to something. It doesn’t have to be part of an agenda or a serious notion to pursue a relationship. It can be enjoyed for its own sake.
Sometimes — given half a chance — passion will dissipate in the face of differences revealed with just one more date.… More
Not daunted, but exhilarated …
Dear Friends,
Thank you for healing love. I revel in your thoughts and prayers. And my daily improvement has accelerated. I will soon be back to normal, only kinder and wiser.
As you know, I don’t believe we can separate the physical from the mental and spiritual. I had a physical issue, a sprained sacroiliac, diagnosed by a chiropractor. BUT I am left to complete the diagnosis, to include the mental and spiritual.
I love that only I can do that … and that I don’t have to be right, just honest. To be in integrity with myself, I must shine a light on the truth, reaching as deep into my unconscious as I can see.
Some people might find that daunting, but I am right now exhilarated as I type.
Sam and I joke that we’re just getting started, but I believe the joke. Like much of our humor, it comes from a deep place of knowing. I turned 63 this year; and Sam turns 70 in November. Please don’t let age fool you in to thinking that you’re finished or that you have to wind down.
Life gets richer. And rather than yield to physical aging, we can nurture our resilience and yield, instead, to the strength and stamina of spirit.… More
