Can people be a gift? 


This growing, stretching and learning stuff is awesome and sometimes painful.  I sail along sometimes in life and do really well and then.....I get triggered.  I always remember that the trigger is a gift.  But while you are in the thick of things, it's not always instant gratitude.  POOP.

I just want to remember daily that I would not be me if it weren't for every percieved "bad" happening in my life.  I don't believe in the duality of things.  I really have always belived that everything is a gift to call me to my potential. I belive in the singleness of purpose in every happening.  God is in everything.  God is Law and love would never give me anything if it was not for my highest good.  If I keep hitting the same roadblocks, then I am not listening to the lesson that is in it for me. 

I have learned something that is the most valuable lesson for me in life.  It is this thing called letting in love.  I discovered that unless I am willing to let others, who are not blinded and bloodied by their own pain, help me then I cannot do it on my own. They can help me see things I cannot see about myself. 

But you have to know who to go to.  People who are on the same path to live a life of loved, loving and responsible.  People who dedicate thier life to being so honest and loving, that they can see other's flaws clearly and lovingly.  In Real Love they are called wise people.  And I am grateful for them in my life. 

I am grateful for Martin to show me where I was stuck in parts of my life
I am grateful for Greg Baer for showing me real principles that have changed my life
I am grateful for the universe showing me what I was called to do
I am grateful to all the people in my life who love me
I am grateful for my son who kicks me in the pants to get up and go sometimes
I am grateful today for my parents who love me in a way I could never explain

I am loved
I am loving
and I am responsible

and getting better at it every day............

I love you, Sharon

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 ...

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 ...

12 Step and Victimhood

Question?   Just to run something by you and be seen.   I get a lot out of the fellowship from 12 step meetings but in my heart and gut something doesn’t feel right. They want me to admit that I have a disease and I’m powerless over it. I don’t really believe that. Feels like victimhood. Thoughts? Every faith tradition, sacred text, healing modality and 12 step teaching all have elements that can be translated as the same.   It’s either about love or fear, the two powers that either heal or destroy. If you take a little time to translate the meaning then you will see they all are saying the same things.   Truth really is truth just as electricity always works the same.   Sometimes what stumps us is the meaning of words that have been used in a harmful way towards us and we reject the truth that is in that system, modality or teaching.   Twelve step programs do have a languaging that is hard for some of us in Loving-groups.   We do...
