Much of our personal history can be considered inaccurate. How many times have you told a story to someone only to hear that you previously told them a different version of it? The details of our history change as we do. Events in our past served us on some level, then as we grow and change, so does our experience with the details. When our history no longer serves us, we change it so that Read more…
Yes YOU….B E A U T I F U L ! You thought I was talking to someone else? How often do you address or even acknowledge your beauty? When was the last time you looked in the mirror and expressed appreciation for the beauty in you, the REAL you? Do you spend more time looking at what you don’t like about yourself, your life, your situation, your house, job, hair, weight, city, family, relationship, Read more…
Often times I experience people who appear happy on the outside yet display something else in a much more subtle way. One of the skills I acquired during my lifetime is to recognize when what a person is saying does not match what they are not saying. This often comes across as deceit. I have learned never to assume that people that exhibit this behavior are intentionally being deceitful to me (or to whomever they Read more…
I’ve been hearing this phrase for a few years now; mindset, state of mind, money mind, etc… I often wondered what it meant to have a poverty mindset, or abundance mindset. Until recently there seemed to be cloudiness around what I was able to see within myself. For the last 30 years I have been a student of the self; my being, my mind, my programs, my history, my belief systems, constantly on a path Read more…
It’s been a while since I posted here. It’s been an interesting journey to say the least. I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of “change your thoughts, change your life”. It seems people think they have found a new tool to use to change parts of their lives. They start by using affirmations, or quotes from other people, or even memes. Then it seems they start to abandon their efforts due to the Read more…
“My reality is collapsing”! These were the words I said to myself as I started running this morning. It felt like what I “knew to be reality” was no longer valid. The ground I was running on was not the same, the view of my neighborhood was different, my stride was different, my breathing, how I felt about running, everything was askew. Head’s Up I noticed my head was up instead of down. I consider Read more…
How you do anything is how you do everything When you think about it, everything you experience is a relationship. Your relationship with your work, life, lover, friends, yourself, your pets, your finances, home, etc. In fact, I can’t think of anything in life that is not in relationship with ourselves. Go ahead and try for yourself. The degree to which you relate to yourself, or aspects of yourself, is the degree to which you Read more…
The other day I saw a neighborhood cat sitting on my wife’s car. My wife hates cats, I’m indifferent. Since I grew up with them and can’t have one due to the wife’s cat allergy, I’ve just follow along in the “ugh, cats” attitude. The next day I washed my car (love the car), only to see little muddy cat paw prints on my hood an hour later. My first reaction was anger. “How could Read more…
I’ve been noticing this world a-lot more lately; hope. “I hope this happens” or, “I hope she gets better” or, “I hope things turn around”, “I hope this president _____”, etc… “Hope” vs. “expectation”. The energy of the word “Hope” includes and ingredient of fear, whereas the word “Expect” does not. Hope usually comes from a fear place fear of unworthiness, fear of being unlucky, invisible, or unimportant. , Expectation comes from knowing, intuition, almost taken Read more…
This is sort of a re-post from a few years back. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”. This was the quote we were taught to say when we were younger (I’m 50) when someone would call us names. We used to say it like a little kid, nanny nanny boo boo. In the mean time, we would walk a way with this feeling in our guts, this pain, Read more…
