"If you're 50, you're never going to be 50 ever again, so enjoy being 50. If you sit through the year wishing you were younger, before you know it, it's going to be over, and you're going to be 51." -Julianne Moore |

“She wasn’t where she had been. She wasn’t where she was going…but she was on her way. And on her way she enjoyed food that wasn’t fast, friendships that held, hearts glowing, hearts breaking, smiles that caught tears, paths trudged and alleys skipped. And on her way she no longer looked for the answers, but held close the two things she knew for sure. One, if a day carried strength in the morning, peace in the evening, and a little joy in between, it was a good one…and two, you can live completely without complete understanding.” ~ Jodi Hills |

Women used to open their legs and stand like a warrior in ancient times. We connected our yoni to the earth and pulled strength, wisdom and power from her through our root chakra up . This connection was deep and deeply respected… it was sacred.
It was but the last 2000 years that women have been forced to close their legs and sit and stand like a lady. They tried to tame the Wild Woman… THEY FAILED! She is alive inside of us. All of us! She is the lioness that protects her children, she is the thunderstorm raging in us when injustice is done, she is the wolf who want’’s to howl to the moon and the butterfly that spreads joy...
When a woman and her womb, heart and pineal align she can awaken fully to herself as the cosmic portal to God, in Sacred Union, in the tantra, the masculine and the feminine ects join in the union of GOD. The awakening of the MOTHER of the DIVINE FEMININE is making herself known. In MEN and WOMEN... she is the DANCE WITHIN YOU.

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food.
The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Please give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

HERE IS NO MONSTER INSIDE YOU
Fall in love with the darkness.
With the piss and the shit of life.
The shadows, the hidden parts.
The bits we hide out of shame.
Fall in love with the innocence.
Our childhood fears of the dark.
Of being exposed. Of showing ourselves,
being seen, coming into the light.
The doubts, the secret pains,
our strange fantasies, feelings we
just don't know what to do with.
Terrors of the night-time.
The rage that bubbles just under the surface.
The fear that we are not loveable.
The feelings and thoughts we conceal
to maintain the image of 'me'.
To be good, to be nice, to be spiritual.
To be 'the one who can hold it all together'.
Fall in love with this secret humanity.
Know that darkness is NOT darkness,
only scared fragments
longing to come into the light,
beings who want love, and attention,
and breath, and inclusion in
the larger picture of Self.
Do not seek the light, friend.
Simply be the light. Be what you are.
The light of life.
And have the courage to shine fully
on the sore places, the tender places.
Illuminate. Radiate.
Make it safe for the little monsters
to come out of hiding.
Let them know they are beautiful.
And worthy.
And not monsters at all.
- Jeff Foster

I was talking to a woman yesterday...she was attractive, fit and smart...but I could tell she had shut down at some point...and she was asking my advice on what it takes to be happy...I told her...
When you wake up, get dressed and walk out into the world...you get to be funny, flirty, sexy, engaging, amusing and happy...if you choose to be.
What you put into the universe, you get back.
And it clicked. Sometimes we forget to be who we are authentically. Life is short. Waste no time and enjoy the journey.

For it is ever beautiful to be strange.
To do things differently than others.
To see things in a rare light.
To me, that is such gold to carry."

And when you love and change someone, you mold together a tiny, little broken piece of the universe."

Pay attention to whom you share your intimate energy with. Intimacy at this level intertwines your aural energy with the aural energy of the other person. These powerful connections, regardless of how insignificant you think they are, leave spiritual debris, particularly within people who do not practice any type of cleansing, physical, emotional or otherwise. The more you interact intimately with someone, the deeper the connection and the more of their aura is intertwined with yours.
Imagine the confused aura of someone who sleeps with multiple people and carries around these multiple energies? What they may not realize is that others can feel that energy which can repel positive energy and attract negative energy into your life.

Death is not an ending.
Death is the ultimate,
impending awakening.
Soon enough it's our turn
to be buried or burn,
free of our earthly yearns,
these soft luscious lips
hard, cold, no kisses left
to take, taste or return.
It is impossible to deny.
the irreversible exposure of
our utmost composure comes
when it's our turn to die.
In the closure of our eyes
we surrender our lies.
The depths of all we have
given, loved, cared for,
cried with, will be the
measure of our lives.

Kindness
Before you know what kindness is, you must lose things, You must feel the future dissolve in a moment, like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand, what you counted and carefully saved....all must go. You must know how desolate the landscape can be between the regions of kindness.
Before you learn the gravity of kindness, you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho lies dead by the side of the road. You must see how this cold be you, how the Indian too was someone who journeyed through the night with plans and the simple breath that kept him alive.
Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the deepest thing. You must wake up with sorrow, you must speak to it until your voice catches the thread of all sorrows and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore, only kindness that ties your shoes and sends you out into the day to mail letters and purchase bread, only kindness that raises its head from the crowd of the world to say it is I, that you have been looking for, and then goes with you everywhere like a shadow or a friend.

Returning to the concept of Romantic Love. I can see where that idea does have potential for damaging relationships. Love of a spouse is much more than we think of it. One’s spouse is their partner on a very dangerous journey and adventure, trip to eternity. You’ve got to count on each other and make the intimacy count. I’m not describing it right, but there is something primeval and basic about the whole thing. |

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
Enough money within her control to move out...
And rent a place of her own
even if she never wants to
or needs to...
Something perfect to wear if the employer
or date of her dreams wants to See Her in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
A youth she's content to leave behind....
A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her Old Age....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
A set of screwdrivers,
a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
One friend who always makes her laugh...
And one Who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
A good piece of furniture not previously owned
by anyone else in her Family...
Eight matching plates,
wine glasses with stems,
And a recipe for a meal that will make
her guests feel Honored...
A feeling of control over her destiny...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to fall in love without losing herself..
HOW TO QUIT A JOB,
BREAK UP WITH A LOVER,
AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT
RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP...
When to try harder...
And WHEN TO WALK AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
That she can't change the length of her calves,
The width of her hips,
or the nature of her parents..
That her childhood may not have been perfect...
But it's over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
How to live alone...
Even if she doesn't like it...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Whom she can trust,
Whom she can't,
And why she shouldn't take it personally...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Where to go...
Be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
Or a charming inn in the woods...
When her soul needs soothing...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
A month...
And a year...

Love opens us up to all that life has to offer.
But first, we must learn to love OURSELVES with all our flaws and imperfections.
Perhaps you are looking at yourself in the mirror and you can see what you think are imperfections.
But God/Source doesn’t make mistakes.
He made you after his own likeness as the crowning glory of all creation.
Even angels bow down before you.
You are breathtakingly beautiful.
Exquisite. Extraordinary.
There is no one like you.
And you are here at this time with a divine purpose, as part of a divine plan.
Now, love yourself for who you are, in your flawlessly perfect state of imperfection.
Because when you love yourself, you set yourself free to receive love and to give love away to others.

You can dance like a madman, laugh like a madman; you can jump and jog like a madman... people may think you are mad, but that is their problem. If you are enjoying it, if your life is nourished by it, then it does not matter, even if it becomes a problem for the rest of the world.

When a conscious man loves a woman, he will instinctively work on himself to be the best person he can be.
Not to impress her, but to be emotionally whole.
And from that place of wholeness to offer her pure love flowing from a heart that has surrendered the dark ways of ego.
When a man can give his very best to the one he calls his beloved, he will also receive the very best back in exchange.
It’s a universal law.
You always reap what you sow.
In that genuine, loving environment, misunderstandings will fall by the wayside and fear will be unable to find no foothold. Instead, harmony will rule and true bliss will abound.
Love promises to flourish and multiply wherever the soul work is being done.
It’s the only way relationships can experience happily-ever-after.

A woman’s expectation of wanting a “soul-connected, conscious, man who unconditionally loves and adores her,” is not unrealistic.
It’s what a real man should bring to the relationship.
But men, in general, have failed.
We haven’t gone within and made the shift from our ego-self to our heart.
It’s been about us, and what we can get without really giving anything up.
We haven’t done the inner work.
We’ve been more concerned about what pleases our eye than what satisfies our soul.
And we certainly haven’t treated women as our softer equal.
We’ve been too busy pretending that we have all the answers to realize that women have a far greater understanding of life and love than we’ll ever have.
Women deserve so much better. It’s time for a new breed of the masculine to rise up and take a stand.
It’s time to show the world what a real man is. It’s time to return to love.

She Takes My Breath Away
Her gift of love is the desire of every man’s heart.
How her eyes sparkle when she looks at me, when she smiles and tells me that she loves me, the way she wraps her arms around me and nestles into my chest.
She fills up my senses.
She is my goddess whom I adore.
Her love disarms me and dispels all my fears.
She is a wild rose growing unashamedly in a barren landscape.
She is water for my thirsty soul, nourishment for my hungry heart.
She comes to me in our private garden, unveiling her femininity and awakening the passion that stirs within me.
My eyes can only see her.
My heart aches for her alone.
In love’s eternal moments we are forever one.

Selfless love is when you let go of “what’s in it for me” and give from a place of emotional and spiritual wholeness.
This is the greatest form of love because it sets love free to touch the soul of the one you love and then return it to you in far greater measure.
Much relationship advice today is based on what the mind says, almost like a business transaction.
Yes, communication and discussing issues in a meaning sense are important.
And yes, a 7-step program may help you to resolve differences and stay in love for the moment.
But real, soul-deep love, is only found by going within and allowing your heart to guide you.
The model of selfless love, or unconditional love, is something that our Creator has etched deep within all humanity.
But it cannot be truly understood with the mind alone. Selfless love, to the mind, is like a suicide mission.
It blindly asks: “How can you receive love when your focus is just to give?” The mind can only know the answer to that riddle when the heart is open and the soul is engaged.
That’s when the mind let’s go of the need to control and surrenders to the higher call of selfless love.
Once you have tasted pure selfless love you will never again be satisfied with anything less.
It’s your birthright.
It’s what you have been designed to experience.
It’s your real purpose for being.
Selfless love.
Unconditional love.
One love.
When your soul is parched and longing for more you will call out to the deep unknown.
And your soul’s cry will be heard.
Love will always be faithful to find you, if you believe.

You have immense capacities latent in you, waiting to be tapped and used. You have many talents that have to be brought to light. You feel the urge to love all beings, and to share your joy and grief with fellow beings; to know more and satisfy the curiosity of your intellect, to peep behind the awe and wonder that Nature arouses in you. You are able to gather information about all kinds of things from all comers of the world, but you are unaware of what happens in the comers of your own mind. You know who is who among all the rest, but you do not know the answer to the simple question, "Who am I?" Without knowing this, people go about rashly judging, labelling and even libelling others! Each one has to ask oneself and seek out the clue to this enigma of one’s reality.

Hiking - "I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not hike! Do you know the origin of that word 'saunter?' It's a beautiful word. Away back in the Middle Ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, 'A la sainte terre,' 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them."

“It all matters. That someone turns out the lamp, picks up the windblown wrapper, says hello to the invalid, pays at the unattended lot, listens to the repeated tale, folds the abandoned laundry, plays the game fairly, tells the story honestly, acknowledges help, gives credit, says good night, resists temptation, wipes the counter, waits at the yellow, makes the bed, tips the maid, remembers the illness, congratulates the victor, accepts the consequences, takes a stand, steps up, offers a hand, goes first, goes last, chooses the small portion, teaches the child, tends to the dying, comforts the grieving, removes the splinter, wipes the tear, directs the lost, touches the lonely, is the whole thing. What is most beautiful is least acknowledged. What is worth dying for is barely noticed.” Laura McBride |

In the deepest depths of her lover’s soul, she touched his everything and watched his love unfold.
The endless feeling of deep love through the day was not just a memory but a vibration that would not go away.
The connection of love deep in soul collapses the mind from words to be told.
Shifting his body to new parallel worlds, with the release of one breath… deep within her.
The echo of song that rings from his goddess in full, his ears will never forget… the music of her soul.

A life without love is a waste. 'Should I look for spiritual love, or material, or physical love?', don't ask yourself this question. Discrimination leads to discrimination. Love doesn't need any name, category or definition. Love is a world itself. Either you are in, at the center... either you are out, yearning.

When a man awakens the divine feminine within himself, he falls in love with her.
She brings him the most beautiful feelings he had ever experienced.
It becomes his mission in life to become closer to her, to feel her more.
He gains respect for all women, and sees all women as divine.
The divine feminine changes a man so completely that all he wants to do is worship her.
As the divine feminine raises through the chakra system in man, she alters him in a way that he no longer lusts after women.
He loves them, from the heart not the head.
She also breaks his addiction to masturbation once she is past the second chakra.
Then enables him to find so much more pleasure in intimacy even with just himself, than any ejaculatory orgasm can ever give him.
If he meets a woman, the feminine energy only increases his passion for her.
He wants to truly make her happy, and will honour her like he honours the divine feminine within him.
He feels from the heart, and reaches her heart because of that.
He gains her trust and will do what’s necessary to allow her to trust him completely.
The divine feminine changes a man so much that he would rather remain single than to get laid.
To remain abstinent rather than waste his energy on his own.
She builds inside him, bringing abundant happiness to his life.
He feels complete with the divine feminine alive within him.
He is balanced, he is joyful.
So if you want to understand how a man perceives the divine feminine, realize that he feels the feminine within himself.
The kundalini, the shakti, is with him, loving him with her grace and perfection.

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you ![]() 🤦🏼♀️or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee? ![]() 🤔
"Well because someone bumped into me, of course!"![]() 🤷🏼♀️
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
*Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.*
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?![]() 💓
Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions? ![]() 💣
You choose! ![]() 💯
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.![]() 🙌🏻![]() 🙏🏻

Because if you stayed there, they wouldn’t be peak experiences. They would be normal, every day in time hum drum boring, experiences. So, savor the peak experiences and compliment yourself upon your achieving of them, and expect more of them, and leave everything else out of the equation.”

be kind. be ridiculously, radically, endlessly kind. be a part of someone’s good day. send nice thoughts, send positive vibes, send support and love and well wishes. be kind. so often we wish for tomorrow to be a good day when we are at our lowest. some sort of sign that it gets better. be a part of that better day for someone. the world does not magically decide that it will be softer on you today, tomorrow, the next day. and sometimes it starts with a message from someone else, maybe a little bit of inner strength to pull yourself up and take a shower, maybe a bit of sunlight makes the day better. but it’s these small things, these soft things that make a day better. so be kind. don’t ever think about being anything other than kind. be a part of someone’s good day because you don’t know how desperate they might be for it. |

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost (1874-1963)
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. |

Within the heart of a man and a woman is a deep-seated longing for intimacy.
It is woven into the very fabric of our being.
...
Sometimes that longing takes us to all the wrong places looking for a fix.
We are creatures of love, and it’s only by opening up our heart and breathing in the very divine as our source of love that we can really know the origin of intimacy.
But it can’t be understood by the mind only.
The heart must lead the way.
And then, when you have touched the heavens and are one with the divine, from that endless river you can access and pour out unlimited pure love on the one who calls to your soul.
This is true intimacy, where you tap into the divine and love from the depths of your soul.
Heaven’s river never runs dry.
It is an eternal source, gifted to you, so you can share it.

Be Gentle With Me...
Understand that my heart has been through more hurricanes than it has seen sunny days.
...
Know that if I entrust you with my most prized possession, it's because I still believe in love even if life has given me every reason not to.
To stand here before you with hope colored eyes, to reveal my naked vulnerability, and to remain unguarded requires more strength than any mouthful of words could express.
Yet I'm still here extending my hand, ready and willing to hold yours.
Show me that there are other lovers of depths that see far beyond the surface of skin.
Be the one to prove me right.
Don't just be there in body, but be there in soul.
I can't survive in shallow waters.
I tried
But my heartbeats quickly fade, breath escapes me
And I must leave because I was built for the deep that knows no end...

Winter Grace
If you have seen the snow
under the lamppost
piled up like a white beaver hat on the picnic table...
or somewhere slowly falling
into the brook
to be swallowed by water,
then you have seen beauty
and know it for its transience.
And if you have gone out in the snow
for only the pleasure
of walking barely protected
from the galaxies,
the flakes settling on your parka
like the dust from just-born stars,
the cold waking you
as if from long sleeping,
then you can understand
how, more often than not,
truth is found in silence,
how the natural world comes to you
if you go out to meet it,
its icy ditches filled with dead weeds,
its vacant birdhouses, and dens
full of the sleeping.
But this is the slowed down season
held fast by darkness
and if no one comes to keep you company
then keep watch over your own solitude.
In that stillness, you will learn
with your whole body
the significance of cold
and the night,
which is otherwise always eluding you.

Love this poem....
World-weary?
Perhaps what wearies you
is not the world...
but your own mind.
It's time to make
a pilgrimage
from the furrow
in your brow
to the temple
in your chest.
The distance isn't far,
merely an exhalation,
yet many lose their way
and turn back.
No voice will lead you.
Voices come from the past.
You're not going there.
You're moving
into the ancient now.
Just follow the song
of the next bird.
Travel light.
Abandon names.
Always choose the path
that leads downward
into deeper green,
the valley, not the mountain.
Rooted in loss,
find the place
where there is no ground.
return to your first breath.
Take it again
and again.

Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “I’m saving these starfish, Sir”.
The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only on...e of you. What difference can you make?”
The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said, “I made a difference to that one.”

A true King, who has done the soul work, knows the value of his own heart.
In giving it away to his Queen, he is giving her his greatest treasure.
...
And conversely, a Queen who has done the inner work, in giving her heart away to her King, is offering him a priceless gift.
There are many forms of wealth.
But the greatest riches in this world, and in the one to come, is a heart that has surrendered to love.
Never underestimate what an awakened heart can bring to a relationship.
The entire universe, and heaven itself, knows the names of the ones who have found their way back to their heart.
These are the revered Champions of the Kingdom.
Even the Angels bow down to them.
And so, when a pure heart is given away as a gift to the one that calls to your soul, recognize it for the treasure it is.
Value it.
Don’t take it for granted.
Because it is only on loan for the number of days there is breath.

Vulnerability
This a topic that is rarely discussed because of the intense emotional nature encompassed within the action.
...
To be in a conscious loving relationship, it is advantageous for both reflections to be vulnerable to each other.
Exposing not only our bodies in open exploration but also our heart and soul.
Past relationship wounds and accumulated negativity from childhood will be revealed and confronted.
Rather than retreating into ourselves for self-protection or projecting resistance we can consciously manifest the intention to confide and nurture each other.
I feel afraid to show myself to you because I don't want to be hurt again but I want to flourish with you.
I want to release all of the emotional baggage that is keeping me down so that we can be light, so that we can fly and rise high together.
Please be patient with me as I will be patient with you.
Together let us create the sacred space to trust each other in all ways as we acknowledge, transcend and elevate.
I am here because I want us to be the best we can be
Because I want you to be the best you can be.
I am here because I want to be the best I can be.
I love you.
I love myself.
I love myself.
I love you.
Let Us Rise."

There is a whisper in your heart
It is calling you to your creative self
There is a rumble in your belly
That is the sound of the fire that calls you home
...
There is a sound that is only you.
That is your song...and only you know the tune.
You are invited to be you.....and at no time are you
expected to be anything but you... At least in your soul.
Go do that...and you will find your peace.

The best eyes are those of others, their smiles and whispers in our minds and ears, like images of trees on the dark water at dusk. Our faces come out of the dark and go into it, the night shades from the momentary sun. This is me in the dark a glimmer of light from a window or screen on my shades as the day grew dark and the air became cold. How others create and make and get by are the thoughts and images I carry. Friendship and how spirits meet stays with me always. Friends might say I am there for them. I admire their art and resilience in a world that can be harsh and beautiful at once. Conversation is to be cherished and is the echo we carry with us along a short road that neither begins nor ends with us. |

One day some people came to the
master and asked: How can you be happy in a world of such impermanence, where you cannot protect your loved ones from harm, illness or death? The master held up a glass and said:someone gave me this glass; It holds my water admirably and it's glistens in the sunlight. I touch it and it rings! One day that wind may blow it off the shelf, or my elbow may knock it from the table. I know this glass is already broken, so I enjoy it-- incredibly.

Dear Monsieur Germain,
I let the commotion around me these days subside a bit before speaking to you from the bottom of my heart. I have just been given far too great an honor, one I neither sought nor solicited. But when I heard the news, my first thought, after my mother, was of you. Without you, without the affectionate hand you extended to the small poor child that I was, without your teaching and example, none of all this would have happened. I don’t make too much of this sort of honor. But at least it gives me the opportunity to tell you what you have been and still are for me, and to assure you that your efforts, your work, and the generous heart you put into it still live in one of your little schoolboys who, despite the years, has never stopped being your grateful pupil. I embrace you with all my heart.

Like the seeds of a dandelion, I've let float upon the wind the negativity that you intruded into my life and imposed upon my heart. I cannot let your... insecurities and instability infect any part of me any longer. ..... Each day is a new day. Each moment is a new moment and there are more dandelions than you ever will be and each moment, I let their seeds carry away all of the negativity that you are and that you placed on me, and the more I am free. |

Rules For Me...
1. Don’t knock it ’til you try it.
2. Send Thank You cards for every act of hospitality — except another Thank You card.
3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
4. Put cinnamon in your coffee, and twice as much when you miss me....
5. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
6. If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.
7. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
8. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
9. 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
10. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
11. If you’re staying more than one night, unpack your bag.
12. Never walk through an alley.
13. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
14. Can’t is a cop-out. Don’t want to is perfectly acceptable.
15. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
16. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
17. Never lie to yourself.
18. Your body, your rules.
19. If you have an opinion, you better know why.
20. Study your curiosities and practice your passions.
21. Ask for what you want.
22. Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work.
23. Don’t skimp on good sheets.
24. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
25. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.
26. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
27. Reserve I’m sorry for when you truly are.
28. Naps are for grown-ups, too.
29. Question everything except your own intuition.
30. You have enough. You are enough.
31. You are amazing! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better.

THE GODDESS ILLUMINATES…  ❤
The Goddess does as the goddess wishes… for she knows in her own true divinity that all she does comes from love. The goddess illumi...nates her being with her own true essence… as she knows exactly what she loves, what she needs and what she desires to be true, to please and honor herself. The goddess carries no false identity. She is the embodiment of the mother in truth, love and grace. ~Namaste

I usually say the aim of life is to be happy. Our existence is based on hope. Our life is rooted in the opportunity to be happy, not necessarily wealthy, but happy within our own minds. If we only indulge in sensory pleasure, we’ll be little different from animals. In fact, we have this marvellous brain and intelligence; we must learn to use it

I am going to vent!!! So if you don't like venting by a woman you should stop reading, NOW!!!
Boys, men, adolescent's above the age of 20 you need to view a woman in different lights! You may get further in your quest.
A dominant woman wants/needs to be romanced even if she is dominant.
She wants to know/feel that you are truly interested in all of her and not just her clit! Unless she is just there to collect money!!
It seems to me that a percentage of men expect her to fall on the bed, or sit on the edge of the sofa, spread her legs and let you have at it! Well, some women may be, but not the majority of us I dare to say.
Do not misunderstand me. I enjoy oral pleasure as much as other women, but it must come with some finesse. This is not the caveman era!! I need a good flogger or sturdy paddle to use on some of you.
Practice being a gentle man partially and I am willing to bet that you will have more dominant women seeking you out....Vent is over!!! carry on |

- Conscious Relationships~
- We are approaching a period of time when relationships are ready to go through a major redesign.
- ...
-
The current paradigm isn’t working.
-
People are unsatisfied in love; people don’t know how to make relationships work.
-
And, believe it or not, this isn’t a bad thing.
-
Because when systems break-down, that’s when they change.
-
I believe that’s what’s happening in the area of intimate partnership.
-
The break-down is forcing us to move towards conscious love.
-
So what exactly is a conscious relationship?
-
It's a romantic relationship in which both partners feel committed to a sense of purpose, and that purpose is growth.
-
Individual growth.
-
Collective growth as a couple.
-
Growth that makes the world a better place.
-
As of now, most people get into relationships to satisfy their own personal needs.
-
This might work for a few years, but eventually the relationship fails us, and we end up unsatisfied as a result.
-
But when two people come together with the intention of growth, the relationship strives towards something much greater than gratification.
-
The partnership becomes a journey of evolution, and the two individuals have an opportunity to expand more than they could alone.
-
Deep satisfaction and long-term fulfillment arise as a result.
-
So if you’re someone who feels called to take your experience of romantic love to the next level, below are four qualities that characterize what being a conscious couple is all about.
-
Welcome to the path of the conscious relationship.
-
This is next-level love ...
-
1. The conscious couple is not attached to the outcome of the relationship - growth comes first.
-
Not being attached to the outcome of the relationship does not mean you don’t care what happens!
-
It also doesn’t mean that you don’t have fantasies about how the relationship will turn out.
-
What it means is: you’re more committed to the experience of growth than you are to making the relationship “work.”
-
The reality is, we’re here to grow.
-
Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
-
When growth stops, we automatically feel like something’s gone wrong.
-
Because it has.
-
Without growth, we aren’t fulfilling our soul’s purpose.
-
Unfortunately, relationships today tend to stifle growth more than enhance it.
-
This is one of the main reasons we’re failing at romantic love.
-
We want our partners to act in a certain way, we repress ourselves to please others, and soon enough, we feel small, oppressed and puzzled about who we’ve become.
-
This, inevitably, makes the relationship feel like a cage that we want to break out of.
-
But the unfortunate truth is: we’ve caged ourselves.
-
The conscious couple values growth more than anything else because they know this is the secret to keeping the relationship alive.
-
Even though growth is scary (because it takes us into the unknown), the couple is willing to strive towards expansion, even at the risk of out-growing the relationship.
-
Because of this, the relationship maintains a natural feeling of aliveness, and love between the couple does, too.
-
2. Each person in the relationship is committed to owning their s#*t.
-
Conscious couples know that we all have wounds from the past, and they understand that these wounds will inevitably be triggered, especially in a relationship.
-
In other words, they expect to feel abandoned, trapped, rejected, overlooked and any other shitty feeling that arises when we bond closely with another person.
-
Most of us still believe that relationships should only feel good, and when bad feelings surface, something has gone terribly wrong.
-
What we fail to see in this situation is that these shitty feelings stem from our own faulty patterning!
-
These issues are not caused by our partners; they’re caused by our beliefs.
-
The conscious couple is willing to look at their past and current issues in relationships because they know that by facing these beliefs systems, they can evolve into a new relationship-reality.
-
Dysfunctional patterns will dissolve, but only when we take responsibility for them, first.
-
3. All feelings are welcome and no internal process is condemned.
-
In a conscious relationship, there’s room to feel anything.
-
Not only that, there’s room to express those feelings and fantasies to your partner.
-
This is edgy territory… it’s not easy to do.
-
But it’s also one of the most healing things we can experience in a partnership
-
It’s rare to be completely honest about who you are, and to stretch yourself to let your partner do the same.
-
You may not like what you hear; in fact, it may trigger the hell out of you.
-
But you’re willing to be triggered if it means your partner can be authentic.
-
Like I already said, we’re used to molding and changing ourselves to please people we love because we don’t want them to stop loving us!
-
This stifles the love out of our connections.
-
The only option is radical honesty: revealing parts of ourselves that are hard to share, and letting our partners do the same.
-
This leads to feeling known, seen and truly understood — a combination that will automatically enhance your love.
-
4. The relationship is a place to practice love.
-
Love, ultimately, is a practice.
-
A practice of acceptance, being present, forgiveness, and stretching your heart into vulnerable territories.
-
Sometimes we treat love like it’s a destination.
-
We want that peak feeling all the time, and when it’s not there, we’re not satisfied with what the relationship has become.
-
In my mind, this is missing the whole point of love.
-
Love is a journey and an exploration.
-
It’s showing up for all varied nuances of your relationship and asking yourself, What would love do here?”
-
The answer will be different every time, and because of this, you’ll get to grow in ways you never have before!
-
The conscious couple is fiercely committed to being the embodiment of love.
-
And through their devotion and practice, love shows up in their lives and relationship in ways they would’ve never imagined before.~~
-

"A woman should have enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to. Something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour. A youth she’s content to leave behind. A past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to retelling it in her old age. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra. One friend who always makes her laugh and one who lets her cry. A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family. Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored. A feeling of control over her destiny.
Every women should know how to fall in love without losing herself. How to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend, without ruining the friendship. When to try harder and when to walk away. That she can’t change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents, That her childhood may not have been perfect but it’s over. What she would and wouldn’t do for love or more. How to live alone even if she doesn’t like it. Whom she can trust, whom she can’t, and why she shouldn’t take it personally. Where to go, be it to her best friend’s kitchen table ora charming Inn in the wood when her soul needs soothing. What she can and can’t accomplish in a day, a month and a year". ~ Lessons Learned

All this time,

like the walls of a house
designed with warm
harmonious lines.
As if you had actually
planned it that way.
As if you had
stacked up bricks

a lucky star.

I miss the days when I could twirl the phone cord round my finger while immersed in the voice of that captivating someone: their quirks of thought, experiences, values, language, humor, family, peeves, world outlook, imagination… I’m partial to the human voice; it is a prize. And I like to swap mine with others: it’s a means of warding off decomposition of any form. |

"A ritual is the enactment of a myth. And, by participating in the ritual, you are participating in the myth. And since myth is a projection of the depth wisdom of the psyche, by participating in a ritual, participating in the myth, you are being, as it were, put in accord with that wisdom, which is the wisdom that is inherent within you anyhow. Your consciousness is being re-minded of the wisdom of your own life.

Thank you George Bernard Shaw for these thought that you left behind.
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversations.
There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
Newspapers are unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization.
A man who loses his money gains, at the least, experience, and sometimes, something better.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.
A life making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing at all.
The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor. He takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.

A Wise Seer once said..,
A man born blind from birth
will never know the meaning of darkness,
because he has never ever experienced light.
When there is a quiet reconciliation
and an acceptance in our awareness of
this lively coexistence and all opposite values , then automatically we become more and more nonjudgmental.
The victor and the vanquished are seen as two poles of the same being.
Non judgment leads to quieting of the eternal dialogue, opening once again the doorway to CREATIVITY..,

When God created woman and breathed life into her soul, heaven and all of creation stood in awe. The angels marveled at her grace, the sun was blinded by the radiance of her beauty, and the moon and stars bowed in honor of her femininity. Then God awakened man and gave her to him as a partner, a softer and sensuous equal, that he might love and adore this precious gift for all the days of his life, and in doing so, find the way back to his own heart. ~ Daniel Nielsen |

When you fall in love, fall in love with someone who knows your soul. Fall in love with someone who adores you. Fall in love with someone who loves you just the way you are.
Fall In love with someone who enjoys listening to what you have to say even if you know it’s not interesting. Fall in love with someone who rings you up in the middle of the day just to say hello. Fall in love with someone who loves to give you a hug for no reason.
Fall in love with someone who loves your touch. Fall in love with someone who loves the way you look when you when you first wake up in the morning. Fall in love with someone who gives you all of themself.
Fall in love with someone who helps you around the house even if they’re busy. Fall in love with someone who is moved with compassion for the homeless person on the street. Fall in love with someone who talks to your dog.
Fall in love with someone who brings you flowers. Fall in love with someone who loves to watch the sun setting with you. Fall in love with someone who doesn’t mind waiting while you’re getting ready to go out.
Fall in love with someone who holds your hand and kisses you in public. Fall in love with someone who is quick to say sorry when they are at fault. Fall in love with someone who makes you feel special.
When you fall in love, fall in love with someone who can’t imagine living life without you.

It's impossible to be happy unless you live for something greater than yourself. That doesn’t mean you stop loving yourself. An emotionally healthy person will have a great self-image and know that the foundation to loving others is to love themselves. But if life only revolves around you and your needs, your self-centredness will destroy your inner peace and lead you to a very lonely life.
The fact is, we have been wired to SERVE and to BE LOVE to others. When you love others without any strings attached and without expecting anything back in return, several amazing things happen. Your own problems seem to grow smaller. You find yourself. And what you receive back in return is always far greater than what you give.
Real love is not about ME, it’s about WE.

For a man to evolve and become all he is meant to be, he must love a woman with all of his being. But not just any woman – only the one who calls to the deepest recesses of his soul.
There, in the merging of the two, she awakens his masculinity to receive the beauty of her feminine. For it is only through intimacy with her that he learns to surrender and become vulnerable. It is only by understanding her ways that he learns the mystery of his own heart. It is only by sharing love with her that he discovers how to love the world.
When a man loves a woman, really loves her, he embraces wisdom – and in the process, unlocks the floodgates to the river of love within the woman’s heart.

“Let today be a day where you take nothing for granted. For life is fleeting, fragile and precious and can change on a whim. Say all the things you really want to say to your loved ones today, say the things you would regret should they pass on and your words remain unspoken. Rejoice, for you and they are alive today - and should you or them pass on to unknown shores, rejoice even more for you have a wonderful love story to tell.”

One of the tests for any relationship is how issues are dealt with. Two people can fall in love, have amazing chemistry and be highly compatible, even deeply connected at the soul level. And yet, the relationship can be sacrificed on the altar of misunderstanding due to expectations, because of perceptions about the person you love, or from offense taken when unhealed wounds of the past surface.
Unless there is clear communication and a resolve by both partners to listen to the cry of each other’s heart and be understanding when emotions overflow, even the greatest love story can fall to pieces.
At the end of the day, love is a choice. We get to choose whether we will be vigilant and fight for what we believe in, or give up when the love-thief comes to try and steal the dream. True love is always worth fighting for.

Every day we are confronted with situations where we get to choose how we are going to react when something doesn’t go our way. In those decisive moments, check with your heart and ask yourself the question, “What would love do?” And then respond.
To love is a choice. But it’s much more than that. Love is who we are! In a world that is dominated by war and suffering, uncertainty and fear, there is such a great need for humanity to return to LOVE. So, next time you are triggered by someone to react from your lower nature, ask yourself that simple question, “What would love do?”

An awakened man knows that the key to a woman’s heart is in taking delight to make her the focus of his devotion.
And he does so from a place of self confidence and emotional wholeness, knowing that his gift will unlock her soul and cause the floodgates to open wide, so that together, the two can swim in the deep waters of love.
He lavishes his attention upon her in many creative ways, but is always listening to her heart, always aware of her needs so he can support and protect her, and always adoring and romancing her as if it were the first time.
True love is selfless, but it is not weak.
It is stronger than the greatest armies of the world.
And it’s not for the faint-of-heart.
It takes the courage of a seasoned warrior to offer the kind of genuine soul-deep loving that an evolved woman is looking for.

Love is perfect. But in our human experience, it would seem that it isn't so.
Love is often messy, confronting, even painful.
The truth is, love is not to blame.
We are to varying degrees, broken.
There is no such thing as a perfect relationship.
But that's what makes love so amazing.
In this flawed state we embrace what is raw and what is real.
We live and we love, we fall and we cry, we heal and get back up again and love some more.
And then we come to learn, that real love is not found in a perfect person, but in seeing with new eyes, a perfectly imperfect person.

When you surrender the struggle and let go of ego-self, you reconnect with your heart and with the divine.
In that place love comes alive.
And for the first time you taste the freedom of being your true self.
You are no longer a slave to the darkness within.
Your soul is awakened and you recognize that love is who you are.
You fall in love with yourself and with life, with your maker, and everything and everyone around you.
Intimacy is no longer something to be guarded about but with a new honesty, openly embraced.
Fear and guilt flee from you like the shadows of night.
And as the light comes streaming in so does clarity.
In that place you understand that your purpose for being is to selflessly give love and receive love.
This is your highest calling.
There is nothing more wondrous, more exciting and fulfilling than to allow love to flow in you and through you.

In an intimate relationship, doing your own inner work is like watering your partner’s soul garden.
By taking responsibility and working on your OWN issues, and not focusing on the shortcomings in your partner, you are making a fundamental shift from ego-self to your higher self.
And in doing so, you help each other to grow to become the best version of yourselves.
This is the way of unconditional love: to give love selflessly, and with the help of the divine sunshine, to bloom and become the beautiful creation you both were meant to be.

When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the yearning to be close to the other. The presence is felt through a held hand, a voice heard and the sight of a smile. Even through a simple touch. Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to be with one another. This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they are not around. Your soul feels their absence— it doesn’t realize the separation is temporary. ~ Lang Leav

It was heartbreak that showed me the courage of the feminine. The gift of having your heart smashed open by love and its related disappointments is that you remember what it’s like to feel everything again after days, years, lifetimes spent below armor. Through enheartened eyes, we see the courage it takes to stay in the feeling realm. We reward emotional armor because it allows us to ‘succeed’ in a survivalist world, when we should be honoring those who have the courage to remain emotionally receptive and open on the battlefields of life. It took me this long to realize that remaining heart-centered in this world is the greatest achievement of all.

I think my path has crossed with this man's path, God only knows...
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

"The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking."
A. A. Milne (Alan Alexander Milne was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various poems. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work.)
What grade of the mind are you??? You wouldn't even think that Winnie-the-Poo author could be so philosophical... There is a wisdom even in a poo-stick...

the dark night of the soul ..,
At a certain moment in his life,the idea came to him of what he called “the love of your fate.” Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, “This is what I need.” It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment—not discouragement—you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You’ll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes.
The dark night of the soul
comes just before revelation.
When everything is lost,
and all seems darkness,
then comes the new life
and all that is needed.
Nietzsche |

Action inspires inspiration, not the other way around.
The dance between inspiration and those who call themselves creative is one that is often tumultuous.... even maddening at times.
The trick is to stay in the soup.
The disconnect you feel when you feel uninspired can be reconnected in a variety of ways.
When you find yourself uninspired, creativity is calling you to try something new.
She wants you to invite her to play.
Think of creativity as a living organic entity....
Ask her what she needs
Invite her to show you a new dance move
Shake things up
Most importantly, take some kind of action...truthfully any kind of action can re-spark inspiration.
Too many people look at this the other way around...they think inspiration just shows up...nope. It is invited.
You must take the first step...

When you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.
When you can see that, you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.

“Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There's nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they will end the friendship. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing and the ones that often become activists for the broken-hearted, forgotten and misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.”

Authentic, soul-deep love doesn’t always come packaged as you might expect.
That’s because the ego-mind only sees perfect love in terms of a person without flaws, and therefore, will attract and settle for decoys rather than the real thing.
But the soul looks through the eyes of love and recognizes that everyone is a clay vessel that has been dropped and broken.
When you are busy doing your own soul work and can see with your inner eyes, you develop an understanding and appreciation for others who are dealing with their own issues, including the person who has heard your heart's call.
And the reality is that we all have some form of pain or fear to release, wounds that need to be healed, or a heart that needs to be mended.
Two people who have heard their souls call to each other stand at the threshold of a remarkable experience.
But the key is to keep your inner eyes open; otherwise you may not recognize your perfectly imperfect life partner when they come along.

Not being present-minded. If there is one key issue that maims and kills relationships, then this is it.
A man cannot love a woman if he is disconnected from his heart and not conscious of living in the present moment. Love only lives in the NOW.
Men … women find it attractive and are turned-on by you giving them the gift of your attention.
But it means making the shift from ego-self to the heart. Ego focuses on “what’s-in-it-for-me.” The heart focuses on her. And it’s not about placating her with disingenuous attention for the purpose of seeming to please her, or so you can get what you want.
It’s a matter of consciously stepping away from the realm of the mind and letting go of what it has ed.
Then, day-by-day, moment-by-moment, going within, and without judgment, allow your heart to open up and FEEL her, LISTEN to her, SHOW her that you are there for her.
An awakened man is present-minded.
He allows his heart to lead him into the rich beauty of a woman’s soul, where hidden treasures lay buried for him to discover.

QUEST
Take me past
the guarded place
in you
where confusion
covers itself
in unrelenting confidence
then marches on
In lively steps
Take off the façade
let it fall away
into nowhere
Turn around and face me
I search the infinite depth
where beyond all entrenchments
I find your thirst
to be met
and understood
the sadness in your bones,
the want of your silent cries
to be heard
and be known—
abiding within those
unseen landscapes
is a world of precious
dreams
Let me touch where
the battle wounds
lie quietly healing—
Buried beneath
an armored sheath
rests a lifetime of love
and loneliness,
blame and triumph,
honor and defeat
Within this blended web
of scars and treasures,
glistening with honesty,
there you are—
I found you,
beneath the soldier’s plated heart
So loosen the knots around my own
see all its agony bared and mending
and in between each open space
we’ll breathe upon the frailty
All the wishful longings to be had
bring to me yours
as I meet you there with mine.

“Loyalty cannot be blueprinted. It cannot be produced on an assembly line. In fact, it cannot be manufactured at all, for its origin is the human heart -- the center of self-respect and human dignity. It is a force which leaps into being only when conditions are exactly right for it -- and it is a force very sensitive to betrayal.”

What does it mean to have a sacred place? You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes to you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.
Where is your bliss station? You have to try to find it. Get a phonograph and put on the music that you really love, even if it’s corny music that nobody else respects. Or get the book you like to read. In your sacred place you get the “thou” feeling of life that these people had for the whole world in which they lived.

“I have found that some of the simplest things have given me the most pleasure. They didn’t cost me a lot of money either. They just worked on my senses. Did you ever pick very large blueberries after a summer rain? Walk through a grove of cottonwoods, open like a park, and see the blue sky beyond the shimmering gold of the leaves? Pull on dry woolen socks after you’ve peeled off the wet ones? Come in out of the subzero and shiver yourself warm in front of a wood fire? The world is full of such things." |

The Empowered Woman, she moves through the world with a sense of confidence and grace.
Her once reckless spirit now tempered by wisdom.
Quietly, yet firmly, she speaks her truth without doubt or hesitation and the life she leads is of her own creation.
She now understands what it means to live and let live.
How much to ask for herself and how much to give.
She has a strong, yet generous heart and the inner beauty she emanates truly sets her apart.
Like the mythical Phoenix, she has risen from the ashes and soared to a new plane of existence, unfettered by the things that once that posed such resistance.
Her senses now heightened, she sees everything so clearly.
She hears the wind rustling through the trees; beckoning her to live the dreams she holds so dearly.
She feels the softness of her hands
and muses at the strength that they possess.
Her needs and desires she has learned to express.
She has tasted the bitter and savored the sweet fruits of life, overcome adversity and pushed past heartache and strife.
And the one thing she never understood, she now knows to be true, it all begins and ends with you...
a Poem by Sonny Carroll......

When an awakened man loves, he does so with all his heart.
There are no half measures.
He knows it is his sacred duty to adore the woman his soul calls to because his passion and desire for her opens up her heart to receive him.
He inhales the intoxicating fragrance of her femininity and allows the memory of her to linger in his thoughts all day long.
It flows through his touch, his kiss, his embrace, how he communicates with her, how he seeks to understand her, and in the many ways he makes her feel special.
His devotion to her is what gives her the confidence to be the love goddess she is.
And in exchange, she longs for him, to welcome him into her exotic garden and share the sweet fruit of intimacy together.

today is important...there are many of my sisters, friends and women out marching in many cities....so i am posting the lyrics of this song by Helen Reddy which is fitting for today...carry on...
"I Am Woman" by Helen Reddy
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back and pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever going to keep me down again
Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I'll come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
I am woman, watch me grow
See me standing toe-to-toe
As I spread my loving arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

An awakened man looks for an evolved woman as a partner on his life journey because he knows that as their souls merge she will help him to make the shift and become a man of higher awareness.
Her intuitiveness and feminine energy will compliment his purpose-driven mind and masculine strength.
Her ability to connect to her body and soul will guide him away from being disconnected from himself and the world around him.
Her loving nature will lead him to better understand his own heart.
An awakened man also knows what he has to offer when it comes to united love.
He recognizes that together, they have the ability to accomplish exponentially more than they ever could on their own.
Together they are able to do the soul work and grow strong in themselves and their partnership.
Together, they are ready to experience levels of love and intimacy that lower level living could never produce.
An awakened man and an evolved woman will never settle for anything less than walking in their truth and purpose because their eyes have been opened.
They have stepped out of the matrix and can never go back to how it was.
Nothing else can satisfy their longing souls but the unconditional love that flows from the divine, into and through each other.

Intimacy is confronting because as you go deeper into the soul you are also allowing yourself to become increasingly vulnerable to your partner.
Your heart is exposed and what was hidden in the shadows is now laid bare.
The real you, warts and all, is being exposed to the light. And although it can be uncomfortable, it doesn't need to be feared or avoided.
It should be celebrated because when you stop hiding from the inner pain it's your chance to deal with the issues, to heal the wounds, and become whole in yourself.
No one is perfect. We all have our flaws.
But that's ok because love is perfect.
A couple, who are committed to each other, who can look into each other's eyes and do the inner work together in an honest and understanding way, can build a strong and secure relationship that will not only withstand the storms of life but reveal rich treasures of passion that only soul-deep loving can uncover.

we have all felt this way at some time or another!!!
i think somewhere along the way, you lost yourself. too busy trying to keep someone that you forgot about what you've always wanted or most importantly, all that you deserve. you lost yourself while trying to keep someone who never cared about keeping you. fighting but never fought for. loving but never loved. you've been broken down by your own willingness to search for something true. realizing only in the end, that you were searching for something deep in shallow waters. you've been lost for a while now but i know you'll find your way back to you because right now, in this very moment, the only one deserving of your heart is you. be your own soulmate, create your own love story. #rhsin

I don’t have a philosophy: I have senses…If I talk about Nature, it’s not because I know what it is,But because I love it, and that’s why I love it,Because when you love you never know what you love,Or why you love, or what love is. Loving is eternal innocence,And the only innocence is not thinking.

A woman’s expectation of wanting a “soul-connected, conscious, man who unconditionally loves and adores her,” is not unrealistic. It’s what a real man should bring to the relationship.
But men, in general, have failed. We haven’t gone within and made the shift from our ego-self to our heart. It’s been about us, and what we can get without really giving anything up. We haven’t done the inner work. We’ve been more concerned about what pleases our eye than what satisfies our soul. And we certainly haven’t treated women as our softer equal. We’ve been too busy pretending that we have all the answers to realize that women have a far greater understanding of life and love than we’ll ever have.
Women deserve so much better. It’s time for a new breed of the masculine to rise up and take a stand. It’s time to show the world what a real man is. It’s time to return to love.

January Eclipse
It all grows in light
and rests cold in the dark
I would let volleys of arrows
from the bows of their destructive world
pierce right through and kill me
before I'd let a mere shadow of it
eclipse upon your blazing fire
melting down ruins they call kingdoms
and planting giant sequoias in their place
Lips burning with dry ice in the night
I'd cover them with slow ardent kisses
and lay you on the bed of satyr and nymph
your bronze skin under Roman candles
in baths very far from the seragalio
shrouded by January clouds
but our eyes are calmly awake
watching the city burn with torment
but embracing one another
in eternal moment...

People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. That’s what it’s all finally about,these clues help us to find within ourselves.There’s no meaning. What’s the meaning of the universe? What’s the meaning of a flea? It’s just there. That’s it. And your own meaning is that you’re there. We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it’s all about.

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, 'tis twilight time
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
And, in the same and sweet old way I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
And, in the same and sweet old way I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time

Once upon a time, I made New Year's resolutions. Now, I've just become more resolute towards becoming more and more incandescent. I intend to glow. Because I need a light, in my dark. Just to leave a path of spiritual elegance that can be followed, if only by one other soul. For the "something so beautiful from within," is most powerful, when we become the being we came down to this earth to be.

As we ascend the stairs of the future, we may struggle with our own individuality. Yet, we have no choice but to resist humanity's social structure, which tries to take away what is unique about our existence. Because like the moss that grows on the edges of our very souls, it is within our deepest nature to keep expanding consciousness, through the moisture and mist of our own truth.

Art is a crucial part of our daily journey, create it, view it, live in it, live with it, and most important enjoy it...
Art transforms
Art takes you on a journey
Art transmits something otherwise non transmittable
Art speaks a language all it's own and reaches the soul
because art comes from the soul
Art speaks in spirit
Art heals
Artists are the interpreters of the Gods.
Art will to enlighten us, to transport us to an elevated realm is
real and important and needed.
All art forms are magical in my humble opinion.
Artists of all genres are bringing something to the world that is so needed and I cherish it's medicine.
I will encourage all to make more art, to dive deeply into the waters of this magical realm and drink the elixer. |

Schopenhauer points out that when you reach an advanced age and look back over your lifetime, it can seem to have had a consistent order and plan, as though composed by some novelist. Events that when they occurred had seemed accidental and of little moment turn out to have been indispensable factors in the composition of a consistent plot. So who composed that plot? Schopenhauer suggests that just as your dreams are composed by an aspect of yourself of which your unaware, so, too, your whole life is composed by the will within you. And just as people whom you will have met apparently by mere chance became leading agents in the structuring of your life, so, too, will you have served unknowingly as an agent, giving meaning to the lives of others. The whole thing gears together like one big symphony, with everything unconsciously structuring everything else. And Schopenhauer concludes that it is as though our lives were the features of the one great dream of a single dreamer in which all the dream characters dream, too; so that everything links to everything else, moved by the one will to life which is the universal will in nature. |

If life gives you a dream, live it. Squeeze this dream in my arms, don't let him go. Enjoy it to the end. If life gives you a pain, a disappointment... receive, process and overcome it. Learn from him that all is not possible. These experiences of life should teach especially to those who can't understand life is always a gift regardless. Just think, feel and follow your heart because if in the arms of someone that you feel at home makes you feel safe, so you two belong together. |

Femininity for me, it's the "feeling" expressed without active
Being provocative, but rather it is expressed as " home," that goes into the inner thoughts of a man who is ready to share true love and respect. This the only way to capture " home.", may be difficult but very possible.... and it may take some time, but very rewarding in every sense.

Great advice from Liam Neeson!
"They say the hardest thing in the world is losing someone you love. Someone you grew old with and watched grow everyday. Someone who showed you how to love. It's the worst thing to ever happen to anyone. My wife died unexpectedly. She brought me so much joy. She was my everything. Those 16 years of being her husband taught me how to love unconditionally. We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, life is very short. Spend time with your spouses. Treat them well. Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore. What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it's your last. Because, one day, it will be. Take chances and go live life. Tell the ones you love, that you love them everyday. Don't take any moment for granted. Life is worth living.” |

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

Stop telling yourself that you are broken.
Stop looking at all those pieces of you that you painstakingly gathered up through years of living and did the best you could and learned and skinned your knees and fell and got up again to allow you to think that you are broken.
Just stop it.
All the pieces of you....
All those puzzle pieces?
All those shards of glass?
All those cracked pieces of clay?
All those discarded pieces of anything?
Ever see a Mosaic?
Ever see any assemblage art?
Ever see an up-cycled sculpture?
Ever see a collage?
All gorgeousness
All made from pieces of things that someone thought was broken...
Then someone with vision came along and created something beyond beautiful.
Have some vision.

time when it was
too hard for her
to believe in anything,
and i forced her to
accept nothing.
we were just two souls
who begin to walk
together, and the more
we talked, the more we
listened.
and the only thing we were
certain of is that we owned
nothing but the very moment
we were in....

Plenty of people are going to make their own assessments of who you are based on what they think of you from their perspective.
My good and wise friend Jo Pillmore
, who is a brilliant coach often says, "people measure things by their own yardsticks."
My conclusion when I remember these wise words is this...
Other people's measurements of me is not a great measure of me.
Some will jump to conclusions.
Some will decide that outside information is true or false.
Some will base their assumptions on a lot of things...that are
well....assumptions.
Most of what people think of you is not based in the truth of who you are...usually not even close.
Even when someone likes you, they are making that decision based on who they see from their seat...and often how it affects their reality.
Which is fine...except when you modify your behavior to accomodate that belief.
So why then are you basing what you do, who you are, how you move in the world, why you do a thing, on what people think of you?
Do your best
Be your best
check in with your internal guidance.
rinse repeat....
and remember this....
No matter what you do...someone will not like you and someone will like you. So what?
People will drop in and out of your world based on their own stuff.
It's none of your business what people think of you. Not really.
So...Carry on. You are fine. You really are fine.

When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it is over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.

May your heart be broken enough times that it cracks wide open.
May your eyes be blinded so that you can see more clearly.
May your burdens be so deep that they sink completely into the earth.
May your painful memories remind you how strong you really are.
May your "brokenness" be puzzle pieces that fit imperfectly together.
May the light of your being fire up your soul so brightly that the darkness recedes into itself.
May your wings sprout so swiftly that your shoulders ache.
I wish each and every one of you the truth...to know who you are.

How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading
too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone
and never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things
to say?
And since you know we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart won't fall apart
Each time you hear his name?
I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows
With any luck than I suppose
The music never ends
I know (how do you keep the music playing)
the way I feel for you is now or never (how do you make it last)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(how do you keep the song from fading)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
(Keep the song from fading)
Forever
If we can be the best of lovers
yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it goes
With any luck than I suppose
The music never ends..

"Your heart always knows, BUT your head always doubts!" I heard that expression about two years ago and I've never forgotten it. I believe it's true. Your heart knows way more than you know. It's a powerful guidance system - a reliable oracle once you learn to trust it. You don't need to know all the answers. Trust that your heart can lead you to the right place - the right people. Be still! Just listen! Your heart has just answered the question that you were about to ask."

Somedays are delicate
Somedays require patience
Somedays you just have to move slower
Somedays you have to sieze the moment and capture art
Somedays you have to stand in the wind
On these days, I find that inspiration is available at it's finest
They are not days that we feel the best
This is a part of the balance of a creative life
I wouldn't trade it for anything.

12/25/2016 8:29:01 PM |
You don’t measure love in time. You measure love in transformation. Sometimes the longest connections yield very little growth, while the briefest of encounters change everything. The heart doesn't wear a watch- it’s timeless. It doesn’t care how long you know someone. It doesn’t care if you had a 40 year anniversary if there is no juice in the connection. What the heart cares about is resonance. Resonance that opens it, resonance that enlivens it, resonance that calls it home. And when it finds it, the transformation begins…

"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might
turn out to be."

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

“I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. ... Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend...”

“They say the hardest thing in the world is losing someone you love. Someone you grew old with and watched grow everyday. Someone who showed you how to love. It’s the worst thing to ever happen to anyone. My wife died unexpectedly. She brought me so much joy. She was my everything. Those 16 years of being her husband taught me how to love unconditionally. We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, life is very short. Spend time with your spouses. Treat them well. Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won’t be there anymore. What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it’s your last. Because, one day, it will be. Take chances and go live life. Tell the ones you love, that you love them everyday. Don’t take any moment for granted. Life is worth living.”.......

I love the whale’s path, the long waves, the wind flecking the world with blown spray, the dip of a ship’s prow into a swelling sea and the explosion of white and the spatter of saltwater on sail and timbers, and the green heart of a great sea rolling behind the ship, rearing up, threatening, the broken crest curling, and then the stern lifts to the surge and the hull lunges forward and the sea seethes along the strakes as the wave roars past. I love the birds skimming the gray water, the wind as friend and as enemy, the oars lifting and falling. I love the sea. I have lived long and I know the turbulence of life, the cares that weigh a man’s soul and the sorrows that turn the hair white and the heart heavy, but all those are lifted along the whale’s path. Only at sea is a man truly free.

Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learn to distinguish between what you can and can't control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible.

The capacity to be Alone
Is the
Capacity to LOVE
It may look paradoxical to you, but it
Is not. It is an existential truth: only
those people who are capable of being
alone are capable of love, of sharing,
of going into the deepest core of the
other person--without possessing the
other, without becoming dependent on
the other, without reducing the other to
a thing and without becoming addicted
to the other. They allow the other
absolute freedom, because they know
If the other leaves, they will be as happy
as now. Their happiness cannot be
taken by the other, because it cannot be given by the other.

Stars, you are unfortunate, I pity you,
Beautiful as you are, shining in your glory,
Who guide seafaring men through stress and peril
And have no recompense from gods or mortals,
Love you do not, nor do you know what love is.
Hours that are aeons urgently conducting
Your figures in a dance through the vast heaven,
What journey have you ended in this moment,
Since lingering in the arms of my beloved
I lost all memory of you and midnight.
Goodnight from the across the sea.

Holidays, a time of celebration, tradition, family, memories in the making. Still, there are those who wish to sleep through it all just to survive. The stores and the onslaught of commercials tell us happiness comes from spending instead of our giving. Giving of ourselves, our time, our ears, and our heart. I wish you happy holidays. And I wish you peace and comfort in your knowing that you’re not alone. I’m so grateful and blessed that our paths have crossed.. for a reason, season, maybe our lifetime. You are all in my heart and prayers. |

And in Darkness my Companion...!!!

It's not about giving up on the fairy tale relationship. It's about landing it in heart-core reality. It's about giving the fairy feet. It's about peeling away the prince's armor and loving the real person down below. It's about wiping off the princess' make-up and loving her divine humanness. It's about finding romance in the naked fires of daily life. With our masks and disguises fallen away, real love can reveal itself. Forget fairy tales - the human tale is much more gratifying. We just have to learn how to get turned on by humanness.

You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.

It seemed she'd never really looked closely at herself. This person he'd drawn out was nothing like the person she remembered. This wasn't a shadow of the woman she used to be. This was a bright, raw and pure being, stripped down to something she'd not seen before. Stripped to the person she had always been but couldn't see in the mirror. "Look at you now" she whispered, slightly breathless, and a little smile appeared on her lips as she waited for him to show her more...

The layers that build through our lives, of which there are many. Picture frames surrounding our fractured moments. Fabrics we remember by touch, just like the awakening of our sensuality for life. We give, we take and still the sun sets to the west of our fantasies. This life is all about the fragrance of nostalgia and the hope that in the morning, we can always find the beauty of a new day again.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about those who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy,
they just promised it would
most likely be worth it.

very interesting men and women,
some only briefly and some have
become fast friends and people
I would trust with my life.....
I have conversations with a very
close knit group of people, you will
know who you are without me saying
your name....you are important....
you are the wind that carrys me to places
i have never been, the rain that washes
away the dust of every day drudgery, you are the

I don't know exactly how two people bind each other....
maybe the attraction, maybe the smiles, maybe the words.
Probably, when they begin to share something more,
to talk a little bit of himself,
to discover slowly what the hearts contains.
Learn to love each other
and to accept the other for flaws,
strengths, frustrations and the jokes.
Or maybe he's coming
because it was bound to happen...
because the souls are called to meet,
sooner or later.

She wears her battle scars like a medal of honor, as a testament to her strength and independence.
Her wounds are displayed like a trophy.
They will always be with her.
But out of brokenness she has found herself.
Through her tears she has discovered her great worth.
Walking through the pain she now knows what she has to offer the world.
Only those closest to her are aware of what she has had to endure to become the evolved woman she is.
To them, she is a hero.
And although her spirit is strong, she is also soft and feminine ... a goddess.
Patiently she awaits the day when she is united with her true protector, her champion, the one who will find her, pursue her, and win her.
Only a man who is a warrior of the heart is worthy of her fierce love.
But he will find her.
Her light will guide him safely home to her side.

VULNERABILITY
is not a weakness, a passing indisposition, or something we can arrange to do without, vulnerability is not a choice, vulnerability is the underlying, ever present and abiding under-current of our natural state. To run from vulnerability is to run from the essence of our nature, the attempt to be invulnerable is the vain attempt to become something we are not and most especially, to close off our understanding of the grief of others. More seriously, in refusing our vulnerability we refuse to ask for the help needed at every turn of our existence and immobilize the essential, tidal and conversational foundations of our identity.
To have a temporary, isolated sense of power over all events and circumstances, is a lovely illusory privilege and perhaps the prime beautifully constructed conceit of being human and most especially of being youthfully human, but it is a privilege that must be surrendered with that same youth, with ill health, with accident, with the loss of loved ones who do not share our untouchable powers; powers eventually and most emphatically given up, as we approach our last breath.
The only choice we have as we mature is how we inhabit our vulnerability, how we become larger and more courageous and more compassionate through our intimacy with disappearance, our choice is to inhabit vulnerability as generous citizens of loss, robustly and fully, or conversely, as misers and complainers, reluctant, and fearful, always at the gates of existence, but never bravely and completely attempting to enter, never wanting to risk ourselves, never walking fully through the door.

You can connect from all kinds of places- energetic harmony, sexual alchemy, intellectual alignment- but they won’t sustain love over a lifetime. You need a thread that goes deeper, that moves below and beyond the shifting sands of compatibility. That thread is fascination- a genuine fascination with someone’s inner world, the way they organize reality, the way they hearticulate their feelings, the unfathomable and bottomless depths of their being. To hear their soul cry out to you again and again, and to never lose interest in what it is trying to convey. If there is that, then there will still be love when the body sickens, when the sexuality fades, when the perfection projection is long shattered. If there is that, you will swim in love’s waters until the very last breath.

You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light as we expect to come in the sudden change of weather. But you know there would always be the spring, a season of rebirth as fresh.....as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. In this natural life cycle, I am reassured that this present moment is an indicative of what's coming next in anticipation of less dramatic occurences meaning the delightfulness in life. For this reason, I enjoy all the colors of ambiance that the fall creates in such vitality and futuristic vidualizations. I am revitalized, indeed.

all women are beautiful to a man who simply wants some pussy. it's sickening to witness compliments exchanged strictly for the opportunity to have sex. i've known many women and only a few of them were deemed beautiful in my eyes and that was strictly based on who they were beneath their skin but keep in mind that a woman's value is never to be defined by what or how a man feels about her. stop giving your power away to a world of people who will only flatter you in effort to use and abuse you.

jeff brown-soul shaping
Being a sensitive person can be a confusing,
complicated thing in this still harsh world. It feels
intuitively right to open, to feel, to enhearten our
daily life, but the world is still vibrating at a more
armored and edgy place. It is not yet attuned to the
ways of the open heart. So what to do? We don’t
want to deaden our capacity to feel, but if we feel too
much, we get run over by an often heartless world. I
have found my best answer in three places... Selective
Attachment: carefully discerning between positive
and negative individuals and environments, and only
attaching to those people and places that can hold
our tender heart safe; Strong Energetic Boundaries:
being physically and emotionally charged, so that
we can more effectively repel unwelcome energies;
Conscious Armoring: learning how to put on armor
when necessary to manage the world and difficult
situations, and, consciously removing it when it is no
longer needed. If we cultivate these practices, we stand
a much better chance of preserving our sensitivity.
Once we lose it, we lose our connection to the moment
altogether. Here’s to a sensitive way of being! What a
courageous path.

10/1/2016 9:35:02 AM |
A 'gypsy soul' isn't lost and looking. A gypsy soul is one who loves movement and finding the pulse in nature and using flight as a metaphor. One who knows everything is a rhythm. A cycle. A circle. A song. One who holds an inward and therefore outwardly contagious type of freedom. Freedom is not a rebellious act. It is a birthright. This is the cure for the thing you hadn't had a name for. This is the craving you couldn't understand. You are the alchemist of your own rhythm and peace. Only you and you alone can shift and own it the way a bird owns the the strip of sky it's been flying toward. It isn't found by searching. It's found by circling back to your center.

When you love someone you do not love them,

And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way, everyday
Wanna be with you night and day
Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some firefly
Wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine
I can see them under the pine
Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way, oh
Wanna be with you night and day, oh yeah
Well don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and gray, blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one
Out of season
Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day, yeah

You start dying slowly if you do not travel, if you do not read, If you do not listen to the sounds of life, If you do not appreciate yourself. You start dying slowly When you kill your self-esteem; When you do not let others help you. You start dying slowly If you become a slave of your habits, Walking everyday on the same paths… If you do not change your routine, If you do not wear different colours Or you do not speak to those you don’t know. You start dying slowly If you avoid to feel passion And their turbulent emotions; Those which make your eyes glisten And your heart beat fast. You start dying slowly If you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love, If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain, If you do not go after a dream, If you do not allow yourself At least once in your lifetime, To run away from sensible advice. Pablo Neruda

"With the drawing of this Love
and the voice of this Calling
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
.... Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time....
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.

I did reach a place where I forgave you, you know.
But the place where I forgive myself,
for ever believing in you,
seems as distant and unattainable as you always were.

doesn't think she
was meant to be
this strong for
this long.....
and she wonders
if there's a man out

i think she wrote this especially for me....
In life, we go through ups and downs….give yourself time to be sad, frustrated, and angry. Give yourself time to heal, accept, and to grow. Time doesn’t erase anything, but it can provide you with enough space to be able to breathe again. And then one day you wake up and your heart has a little bit of sunshine in it. And day by day people offer you pieces of their hearts to help remake your own. Allow yourself to be where you are at, to feel what you are feeling, and to experience everything that means. And during this process, look and listen for that glimmer of hope. It is there, I promise. And it is waiting for you to see it. Because one of the most beautiful things about humans is their capacity to heal, grow, and survive. Facing it. That is how you get through it. Never give up !

tell her you love her,
before you leave,
then stop at the door,

then kiss her long and deep,
like she matters more than

because she does...

The next time you are stressed, take a step back, inhale and laugh. Remember who you are and why you are here. <3 You're never given anything in this world that you can't handle (even when you feel overwhelmed). Be strong, be flexible, love yourself and love others. When in doubt, always remember - just keep moving forward.
