SLOW DOWN TO GO FASTER

 
 

MY WAY ..SLOW DOWN TO GO FASTER

 
 
 
Just recently my partner and I were involved with a Co-creation process at New Vision Center and wow, was it spectacular.  Reverend Doctor Kathy Hearn was leading us in a healing experience to become what we want to see in a new minister. 
 
She used a phrase that resonated with me greatly.  We have to slow down to go quickly.  When we want something in our life we need to stop and listen to the divine within.  As a practice in my life, I am not good with the discipline, at all, with daily meditation.  But long before any spiritual awareness of any definition of it, I used this in my life. 
 
I would stop.  The indicator for me was something didn't feel good.  It could be a job for instance, and as a single mom, I would have friends who would say, "are you nuts? You just quit your job without another one". 
 
I would just quit my job and sit...I had no idea why or what I was doing.  But I did know that staying in something that was making me miserable wasn't a good idea. 
 
When I sat and did nothing, I would begin to hear something.  I called it a whisper.  When I tried to make something happen, I didn't hear the voice.  When I sat and listened, I heard a calling.  This was early in my life with my son when this began.  I can surely say now that is was the beginning of me having faith and trusting in something more than me.  The pushing and prodding at life, the fighting didn't work. 
 
Doors opened.  Voices came.  New beginnings always sprang forth from the "going slower to go faster"! 
 
I sit now in a time of my life with a path that was closed to me.  The doors to my home as a place of healing (The Real Love House) came to a screeching halt due to HOA issues. 
 
Interesting enough this gives me time to sit in silence again and voila', there is a voice inside I have not listened to in a while from being so busy in all the doing. 
 
In the "slowing down to go faster", I have heard a voice to become a Practitioner of Religious Science.  The principles of Real Love that I have taught for a decade began to feel limiting.  I didn't know what I wanted. But it has become clear.  I have space and time in my life now to study and go deeper in my own healing and spiritual life.  
 
I am so glad that somehow a long time ago I learned to listen to the still small voice.  I learned to slow down to go quickly.  I learned to have faith by practicing patience when sometimes it seems we should be doing something more.  Nope...for me, the voice is strongest when I am not moving at all. 
 
Thank you life and so it is!

January 2009 Well, I have truly been the success story. I was getting divorced the first time I went to a Real Love Seminar some four years ago at New Vision (2005) Everything in my life was falling apart. I lost a bunch, especially being a Realtor. I went through the Real Love host training way back when with Reverend Michelle, went to another intensive weekend, continued to grow and now have a thriving, growing, rockin’ out Real Love co-ed group. I still want and yearn to do something with the teen kids. I now find myself 1-2 nights a week visiting with couples, having one on ones talking about the principals. They grow and find happiness……………..WOW……..I am so thankful. During the rough times, I almost lost my son. Ready to put him on a plane to his dad’s, I instead called and got a real love coach. It saved our lives. 2 months with Daphne Rocked! So now today, I live in a loving relationship, married to a man that firmly believes and practices real love principles. I joke with hi...

Spritual Oneness

I am truly one in God with my partner.  There is no separation  between us in the good, bad, or the ugly.  There is so much beauty in the conflict we share.  Sometimes it's cutting, sometimes is slight, and sometimes is just down right stupid.  But the beauty of this dance is while I sit in the midst of chaos of misunderstandings and behaviors driven by perceived pain, I find peace.  I hear a higher calling for my goodness.  I hear the whisper of God every day, telling me that this is releasing me from the pain of my past and is calling me to a higher faith.  I recall 18 years ago Reverend Michelle did a sermon and spoke to my heart and changed my life.  She spoke of duality that is created by the pain in our minds.  She said there is no such thing as good or bad happenings in our lives, but everything has singleness of purpose, everything is for our higher good, God is in everything. She said, "It's not a freight train coming ...

Trick or Treat!

Will you get tricked or treated? The dictionary defines trick as an act or a procedure intended to achieve an end by deceptive or fraudulent means. One of the definitions of treat is to give (someone or oneself) something pleasurable. Often pleasure is considered the treat and the denial of pleasure the trick. The truth is often the reverse. Short term pleasure often results in long term pain. A bag full of instant pleasure often rots out teeth, promotes diabetes and adds unhealthy weight. A bed full of pleasure can ruin marriages, cause unwanted pregnancy and disease. A bottle or syringe full of pleasure can cost you your job, reputation and freedom. Trick or treat was not the original nor current deception. The real trick is Trick AND Treat.
