Shaken

Stirred

Blended

Fried

The magical

Mystery

A forgotten tribe

Rinse and repeat

Leaven the bread

Sore to new heights

Forests and trees, redwoods of a different kind

Wicked witch of the west

Couldn’t tell me to rest

Proposal to secede

The crucible of a thousand horses

Kept from the barn

In you I trust

Farther and farther away

Permission to speak

In just a day

Realize your freedom

Sore to new heights

Align your highest chakra

To the most northern star

And go!

Regarding the truth

A facet of belief

United we stand

Into the valley below

Songs of praise, mercy, freedom.

These hallowed grounds leave no one alone.

The wave crests high

Big wave surfers

Aligned at the edge

The new beginning.

Tolerance a key

To the survival of the few

A legacy

A legend

With you behind the wheel

Curiosity no more

These are your shoes to fill

Read a good book

There is nothing left to do

Relax my son

The time is now

People accomplish amazing things. All of us. The heart can do a lot.

If you accomplish something and used shame or guilt tactics as motivation, you not only deserve credit for the accomplishment, but also recognition you did it while beating yourself up, making it harder on your heart and yourself in the process.

So it’s more impressive in a sense.

You did it while having that negative weight weighing on you. -Though it does not serve you on many levels to ever become accustomed to abuse.

Imagine how easier it is to accomplish through only positive heart felt intention with a heart and mind space that can spend all its energy on the positive in each moment! Life gets easier!

Being kind to yourself has tons of benefits, and is far more effective and efficient!

I, my own galaxy.

Create, my own atmosphere.

Authenticity, gifts, my stars they shine.

I swirl on in whatever funky nebulous way I want!

At a comedy show, the audience member sat and enjoyed many jokes about others, situations, until they heard a joke that offended them, and left

-Not poking fun. Commentary on how we all can personalize things if we are not paying attention

Be positive in your own ideas.

Be positive of others’ ideas.

Focus: What we CAN do. -Not what we “can’t”. Build, imagine, create!

And if someone doubts you can do something.. A great thought or mantra:

your experiences are not mine!

If something happens that feels unpleasant from someone else, just know it may have involved you, but it wasn’t about you.

When people interact, their esteems, associations, bias’s, are interacting.

Not sure we can ever really know what someone else is thinking or feeling.

So be you, and do not personalize interactions with other people’s stuff!

Love brings us in contact, concert, home with universe, all. The return home.

Love. That frequency. So potent.

Love is all we are.

Use positive language

It’s fine to giggle at your imperfections

Be kind to yourself always! It really really matters.

One day in another counseling session, I mentioned that I felt like I was wasting time by taking all this time for myself to do healing work. I had this recurring thought that I needed to just “get out there“. It wasn’t wrong, and it would not have been wrong to do that. Many ways to learn. It also was not wrong to sit with self and really take the time to dig into this opportunity to understand myself and heal in the process. In that session with my wonderful counselor, I told her:

I just want to free myself, get out there.

If I picture myself being really free right now, in a social setting, it’s me out with my buddies, being smart asses, one upping each other, sarcasm. Having fun with no filters, letting it rip!

She responded, well, then you would not be free would you? Anger has you. As we know, sarcasm is just anger coming sideways. We need to work on that #anger.

-the truth has a certain ring to it.

So thankful for her!
