Revising the Serenity Prayer…

Just saw The Last Song…. Prayer should read “God give me the FORTITUDE to accept the things I cannot change…. Serenity is the result of this journey.

I Know “What”…But “How”?

As per request, I commissioned myself to look at the “how to” concerning my blog yesterday. (thank you to all who read it and seem to be on this journey with me. We’ll get there, let’s just be gentle and patient with ourselves. )

Good news – knowing “what” is 50% of the “how”. Knowing . . . → Read More: I Know “What”…But “How”?

It’s MY Issue….

So many times people do or say things to us that make us mad or hurt us. Very often in this kind of situation we miss a valuable perspective in dealing with them. Our first instinct is to try to get them to change their behavior or view so it’s in line with our own, . . . → Read More: It’s MY Issue….

Three Days Have Gone by….

..and I have NOT written. At first, I was sad about this, but as I thought about it, there is another way of looking at it. The writer’s brain, like a well, needs time to be replenished with fresh thoughts. These three days were my replenishment period.

One Sentence

“I like loving fiercely……

…it’s raw, it’s true, it’s how love should be.” L.B. Miller

That’s right. Today I’m quoting myself. I actually think it’s cool that I HAVE a quote (albeit it’s my only one). I got it from something I said in a letter to someone once. After rereading my letter, I liked that sentence and decided . . . → Read More: “I like loving fiercely……

Are You There, Babe? It’s Me, Your Soul

“This is how you’ve been imprinted to use your power – you use it against yourself. Everyday we create reality based on what we’ve been programmed to believe. So we spend most of our lives not thinking clearly and coherently – not initiated thought. We spend a great deal of our lives not really living, . . . → Read More: Are You There, Babe?
