Listen up Kid!


There was a pivotal day in the life with my son when I knew I had changed long enough for him to know it.  The dynamic needed to now be equalized. 
 

He kept wanting to take it out on me. I got in his face.  (with confidence)  

I told him this:   

“You don’t get to beat me up forever and be happy.  Learning to love another will make you happy and like it or not there will be things that you will never like about me and that is just tough.  I will make mistakes.  But one thing you know for sure is that I will always try.  So you were victimized.  You don’t get to act like a victim and punish me the rest of your life. If you want to do that, then we won’t have a relationship at all.  I am human and will make mistakes. I am not going to walk on eggshells anymore.”
 

He got it.  He grew up and learned to love.


We cannot teach them to just feel loved.  We have to teach them the reality of loving others and that we are that gift.
 

Hope that helps.   Sending love today.

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 ...

Mother's day!

I have seen a life unfold.  I have been the safe keeper of a soul that was never "mine" but God's.  I have learned to love another with all my heart.  I had no idea that when I had my son, that my life would never be the same.  I didn't know that because of you my heart and soul would cry out to be the best I could be.  I was broken and lost, alone and afraid.  I had no idea that having a child could give me the motivation to be the seeker of higher self, to be more so I could give more.  Timothy Shane Stephens Taitano.  You have been my inspiration to be more.  To grow to a place where my sole intention is to learn to love more.  You are why I am who I am now. Some days I see you cry out for more.  You ask me how you can learn to be more present and loving like me.....you are so much more than me.  Just look inside yourself.  The inspiration you gave me is inside you.  It has always been there.  You gave...
