This is a great way to see love. It reminds me that everything else is something else. All the pushing, pulling, controlling, expecting; all very unnecessary. The love is there always behind it all, steady and unmoving. That's actually quite comforting. Thank you, Deb!
What is Love?
What is love? The majority of us see love as something to be gained or given when in fact that's the opposite of love. Who knew? STATE OF DOING When someone gives me a rose, holds open my door or holds my hair back while I... um well, pray to the porcelain goddess, I've seen this as love. Ap...
I feel angry reading your words, Deb. It is so wrong for people to hurt others and judge like that. You're certainly right about your honest words falling on deaf ears. People only know what they know. I believe the more you let go of people who bring you down, the more space there is for those who lift you up to enter your life. You're doing amazing, staying centered on your path and continually evaluating how you can accept more responsibility for yourself and remain compassionate at the same time! I have so much respect for how you live your life! You deserve the best to come back to you!!!
Are Your Friends Uncomfortable With Your Success?
“Yeah Deb, we get it. We’re all happy for you,” her words darted from her mouth straight into my gut. They were drenched in sarcasm, anger and frustration. I sat, stunned as this tongue lashing seemed so out of the blue. THE BACK STORY I was low energy, over weight and had more emotional upheav...
I COMPLETELY know what you're talking about! I feel so powerful and capable sometimes. But then, I am yanked back, sometimes on my own accord, and sometimes when someone makes even a slight remark questioning what I'm doing. I take that as an opportunity to dive into the dark pit of self-doubt and criticism. The fear is less and less gripping as I work through it and the things I can do are bigger and bigger. So that's cool.
Do you think there will come a time, in this lifetime, Deb, when that kind of self-doubt becomes a non-issue? I can only imagine the freedom I could feel!! Thank you for being brave enough to share what each one of us feels inside!
What If They Find Out Who You Really Are?
I woke today thrashing around in my bed. The dream I was living seemed so real and affected my psyche so strongly that I woke myself up just to escape it. You may be thinking that it consisted of zombies marching forth in a labored fashion. You may assume that I endured virtual bombs falling fro...
As always, Deb, a great post! Thank you! I read something related to this that has stuck with me: If you can control the breath, you can control the mind. Sometimes that's more accessible to me than non-judgement.
78.8736% of Your Thoughts Suck
What's that you say? Your mind is like an angry ADHD monkey? You're not alone! 78.8736% of your thoughts are negative. Of course I just made up that figure. But if you're honest with yourself and observe your thoughts , you'll see that most of the time, you are gossiping, judging and blaming yo...
