We all come into this world fully equipped for the journey before us. Within each of us is a part that remembers it is one with the divine universe and has all the knowledge and power of that love. It is our job to wake up and rediscover this divine part of our ourselves, and through the process of becoming self-aware, we can re-experience the love we once had for ourselves before it got buried by life. When we…..
FEAR seems to be running rampant these days. Whether it is fear of terrorists, “other” religions, immigrants, people whose skin color are different than ours, people who are wealthy, people who are poor, those who don’t speak our language, those from different countries, or those who belong to an opposing political party fear is everywhere. Fear always offers us an endless array of individuals and groups to lay blame at their feet for our fear or pain. But if…..
Here is my interview I did on The Conversation with Klarque Garrison on Survival Radio Network last week. We talked abut my first book How Learning to Say Goodbye Taught Me How to Live covering some of the gifts and lessons I learned while helping my best friend deal with terminal cancer. I also previewed a bit about my upcoming book The Heart of the Matter – A Workbook and Guide to Finding ur Back to Self-Love. This book…..
Self-love means practicing the art of receiving. If you want to feel loved and give from a place of that love, you must be willing to receive love, which means you must learn how to offer love to yourself. Compliment yourself when you do something well. Offer forgiveness to yourself when you feel you have done something wrong or “bad.” Congratulate yourself when you take a risk (no matter how it turned out). Have compassion for yourself when you act out…..
On the road to SELF-LOVE, you must come to the realization that no one is doing anything to you. Whether it is good, bad, or something in-between, you are doing it to yourself. It can be a hard one to own, but it is the truth. You are in charge of your life! You decide what you think and feel moment by moment. You decide if life is joyous or a grind. You decide if you are…..
Have you ever sent yourself a valentine? Today is a good day to remember what you love about yourself. Here are a few of mine. Thanks for being honest when it would have been easier to live a lie. Thanks for being kind when it wasn’t required. Thanks for staying open even when my heart was breaking. Thanks for an imagination that is always ready to dream a new dream. Thanks for the…..
What if you made a reservation at a new restaurant and even preordered the meal but when you arrived there is no one around to seat you or serve you, and frankly you are not sure there is even anyone in the kitchen! This feeling of being forgotten is what it feels like to be in the void. You dared to dream a new dream. You have done what you can both inwardly and outwardly, and now you must…..
When we make decisions out of fear, no one wins! When was the last time you let fear dictate your actions? How did it turn out? Did it make your life better? Did it open you up to experiencing or creating more love in your life? Did it make you actually safer? Did it get you what you wanted? Fear is never the energy you want deciding your fate. It will only constrict your ability to see…..
No one can argue that a big fat spotlight has been put on many of our institutions and the people within them. Rather than getting lost in the idea that we have lost our minds what would happen if we saw these times as an opportunity to look honestly at ourselves individually? We all know the dark can’t survive in the light. So perhaps it is time we as individuals look for the pockets of dark that still reside…..
