Self Love Matters! One lacked in self-love. Self-love matters! I want to tell you a story about two people who appeared identical in every way. That is until they hit a very rough period in their lives that shook them to their core. Now one of them felt that if only this or that could happen, she could be happy. Then she could feel safe again. First, she would play over and over in her head everything that had happened……
Late Bloomers & Self-Love This week’s inspiration is C.S. Lewis’s quote, “You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream. I am a late bloomer Self-love taught me to be a late bloomer. I have redefined myself many times. I got my perfect job as a senior producer in TV at the age of 40 after being gone from NYC for four years. I switched careers again when I came out of the spiritual closet and…..
Pets and Self-Love Our Pets teach us so much. This week’s inspiration is beings that greatly improve our lives – make our lives fuller and add so much love. This inspiration is our beloved pets. Our pets are vitally important in our growth as well. They teach us what unconditional love feels like. I believe that our pets are here for one reason – to love us – to love us unconditionally. It is the way the universe makes sure that we…..
We Are Awakening Chaos always appears. It can seem like we are losing our minds and are at each other’s throats. However, I believe it is merely our way of awakening. The difference is the chaos has now risen to the surface, so we can no longer look away or pretend it does not exist. Instead, I believe we are choosing a more evolved way of being. I believe this awakening is happening because we have decided on a soul…..
A Loving Heart Inspiration We all have an open, loving heart. Unfortunately, as we grow up, it tends to close down a bit or have walls put around it. It does not matter where you were born or where you were raised. We tend to learn to hide our hearts and only share them with a few. I have met the most loving people who suddenly shut down when they see a person doing something they do not approve of. A…..
This week’s inspiration is the ability to change your mind. My folks taught me. My parents showed the importance of changing your mind. My father’s first answer to any questions was always no. No, to where we wanted to eat. No, to Caribbean vacation. And even no to putting a pool into the yard -NO! Fortunately, my mother knew this about my dad that he always needed to say no and then turn around and say yes. Yes, to where…..
This month’s inspiration is a Kierkegaard quote. “Faith sees best in the dark.” Faith is rarely used when experiencing a good life or a successful time or falling in love. However, when we find ourselves in the dark going through tough times, faith steps up beside us -gently holding our hand- so that we know we are not alone. Faith becomes our best friend during these times. It keeps us company, having our back, and reminding us that the good…..
This week’s inspiration is a list Who is on the list Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Stephen King, Jim Carey, and Walt Disney are all on the list that inspires me. Not for what they have done but what they all overcame. From being told they were not good enough by publishers- Stephen King – to not having enough imagination – Walt Disney – they all rose above their past. The list proves that hard Times define us The hard times…..
THIS WEEK’S INSPIRATION IS AN OPEN HEART I highlight what makes our heart’s so beautiful. A FABLE ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL HEART I share the story of an older man and a young man who say they both have beautiful hearts. The young man’s heart is perfect, new, and shiny, while the older man’s has tears and scars and gouges removed. They battle over who wins until the older man shares why his is more beautiful. The young man is touched…..
Big Changes Happening This week’s video inspiration is a Buddha saying, “Everything changes; nothing remains without change.” I highlight how we are going through significant disruptions in social justice, voting rights, women’s rights, gay rights, black rights, gun rights. Everything is up in the air with change. I have faith that we will come out of this period with more inclusion, more stable and expanded rights, and frankly more love, compassion, and acceptance. We Can Participate In Change “Everything changes; nothing remains…..
