Bear with me for just a hot minute on this one. I promise I have not completely gone off of the deep end! A great deal of the work I have done on this site and in my life the past year plus has been about facing my fears and sharing my journey in theContinue reading “Fear is Your Friend, Really!”

Shifting Paradigms
To help to improve ourselves, sometimes we ask, “What did I do wrong? Or what could I do better?” Recently, in contemplating a particular pattern I’m finding in my relations with men, I started to ask myself these questions. Before I went too far down the “WTF” path I was on, a light bulb wentContinue reading “Shifting Paradigms”
Possibilities
Faith increases the number of waves of possibilities and allows us to see more of them. Gratitude for what we do have opens our hearts to more ways of seeing and being. Believing in only one possible solution closes down and blinds us to alternatives. So how can we each have more faith and openContinue reading “Possibilities”
Holding the Bars
For so long holding the bars To his cage, avoiding the feelings That keep him sequestered His knuckles white with a death grip He stares out beyond the edge Watching as others soar If he could but turn around and see The only part of the cage that exists Is the part that he’s holding…
Capturing Wind in a Bottle
I drink in the sound of your laughter. Happiness falls hotly from the corners of my eyes. Heart cords wrap ‘round and kiss your hurt places. My eyes hear the smile that lights your face. I urge my memory to open and record each element of this moment, alas it’s likeContinue reading “Capturing Wind in a Bottle”
The Sherpa 2:4
Keep Going! If you’re in Hell please don’t stop to take a look around nor to sniff the flowers. Instead, bring into your heart the memories that stay intact when all the rest feels like it will fall apart. You’ve got this! I’ve seen others with much worse conditions be able to apply the remedies &Continue reading “The Sherpa 2:4”
Sacred 1:4
giving too much at the mention or even hint of protection. learning now to hold sacred the tender parts of my heart – the softest essences of my body. for they are my own to protect. balance to be bound and kept.
the closed heart opens
threats, real or imagined rejection, abandonment, indiscretions remaining closed, the heart’s keep. while the courtyard may appear open it is enclosed by castle walls and guards. sleek black crows feast on the scraps unworthy of the cook’s vat the macabre scene painful for eyes to see a loving heart weeps. choosing now a life unrestricted wallsContinue reading “the closed heart opens”
Culture of Punishment: It’s a Shame
Motivation through punishment makes things harder if our goal is to become our greatness. Self-flagellation tears at our flesh. Wounds then need tending and time to heal. Furthermore, how can we climb the peaks of our greatest potentials when we have a backpack filled with shame, guilt and other “unpacked” emotions? Leave the kitchen sinkContinue reading “Culture of Punishment: It’s a Shame”
The Law of Returns
If we want more then we need to be willing to give more. Want someone to love you? Love that person first. If everyone is waiting for the other to step forward, then no one does. To gain trust, trust others and yourself more. Be vulnerable to those you want to be vulnerable to you. Feel likeContinue reading “The Law of Returns”
