I am love

I once loved someone so much I wanted to prove my love for them




I once loved someone so much that I allowed them to tell me I was wrong



I once love someone so much that I believed the lie that while telling me that I needed to work harder to take care of them that I believed I was never good enough



I once loved someone so much that I believed them when they told me what I needed to do to be a good girl



I once loved someone so much that they had control over my life



I once loved someone so much that I became angry and afraid



I once loved someone so much that I believed all the lies they carried with them



I once loved someone so much that I believed they were my God



I once loved someone so much that I never saw their pain and took it on as mine



I once loved someone so much that I became terrified and became their pain



I once loved me so much that I let others see me



I once loved me so much that I began to see my own light



I once loved me so much that love turned off the pain and I began to be less fearful



I once loved me so much I felt a deep longing in life for innocence and grace



I once loved me so much that I believed there was more than fear and terror



I love myself now and know that it is because others loved me, because I was innocent and didn’t not know the difference



I love myself now and know that the fear was not something that was of me, just taught to me by others that were in fear



I love myself now enough to know the difference when I see it



I love myself now enough to know that terror in others is about them, not me



I love myself now enough to know where to find the real love I want



It is not with the wounded, it is not with the liars, attackers, clingers, runners and victims



It is not with the wounded who want to control me and tell me that I am bad, that is not love

It is not with the wounded who deliver fear to me on a silver platter so I can imprint more fear into my DNA



It is not with the wounded who use me for their own safety and pleasure



The love I have inside me and my worth is my inheritance



The love I have inside me and my worth came to light when others loved me in my pain



The love I have inside has always been there



The love I have inside me comes from God and is one with God



The love I have inside me never dies and is one with the all



The love I have inside me will never die



And to all those who hurt me, I say, you were never taught anything more then what I was taught.



And to all those who hurt me, I say, you have a light that is your inheritance



And to all those who hurt me, it was about your pain and you never meant to hurt me



And to all those who hurt me, I can never forgive you, for that is arrogant to think you ever needed my approval or forgiveness. You just needed my love.



And while we exchange the fear back and forth, I have learned that it never works.



Only love can heal the broken hearts.



I love all of you.



The ones who wounded me in the beginning

The ones I then went on to wound

The ones who danced with me the wounded dance of “trying”

The ones who tired to honestly and sincerely love me

But I say to you today, it never would have worked

Because I needed to know I was love first.



I do now. It was never anyone’s fault.



I have learned to love me, I am enough.

CHAPTER THREE by Greg Baer

CHAPTER THREE THE THIRD PRINCIPLE OF PARENTING When I’m Angry, I’m Wrong Because of their age and inexperience, children are naturally inconvenient in so many ways: • They’re always spilling stuff, falling down, making messes, and getting involved in all manner of “accidents.” • When they get ready for school, clean their rooms, prepare for bed time, or do anything else involving a time limit, they move at a slow and erratic pace rarely compatible with our own schedules. • They’re often unable to perform even the simplest tasks without help or supervision. • They incessantly make unnecessary noises in a wide range of both volume and pitch. • Frequently they are unable to clearly communicate their needs. • When they do express their needs, they are often insistent and demanding. They have no patience. • Everything they do seems to cost money. When we don’t feel sufficiently loved ourselves, these innumerable inconveniences often become more tha

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 to run you over.  It's light at

I made a promise this year to make this Blog personal!

This is my first entry really telling the truth about myself and sharing on a different level than before. As I practice real love or just any spiritual practice I get Aha's that I would like to share and haven't really done that at a personal level as it pertains to me.  I went about two weeks ago to the doctor and found out I have shingles.  It's the chicken pox virus that stays in our body dormant through out our lives.  If it comes out later again, it shows up and transforms itself in a different way.  It is shingles.  I got it on my face.  I got it around my eye.  Left side.  The outside appearance of rash and itchy stuff is the first symptom.  The other symptons are non-visible.  The disease is nerv driven and causes a lot of pain.  Since it is near my eye, the doc told me it is "ocular" shinlges and I could loose my eye.  He told me the pain is severe and some people have committed suicide because it messes with the brain and causes depression.  So
