Powerful and Vulnerable



It's been coming up allot lately in all my conversations with Real Love clients and other wise people AND personally for me.

We, the smart people of the world, use our intellect to be strong and powerful.  What an illusion this is.  The power piece can be used to deflect the REAL LOVE we need and deserve in situations.

Strong people can take allot, but are they really getting the love they need in times of vulnerability or do they stay strong to keep up the facade. 

There is a real truth to all of us and that is that we are powerful and also vulnerable.  There is not one without the other.  But if all we show is the power side to protect ourselves, then every time we need love we never let it in.

So powerful creators vs vulnerable people.  There is not conflict here.

Both are elements of the whole.  We are both.  We can have it all.  We can be powerful and vulnerable.  We have both of those in the WHOLENESS of who we are.  We cannot deny that at times we are like frightened kids that need love. 

So look back at your life and remember times when you were made wrong for "Feeling", wrong for exposing the truth about yourself, the times when other's coiled up in their own pain and said they couldn't be with yours.  OUCH.  Boy that is real. Ask yourself did anyone ever make you wrong for the whole of who you are. 

We can't find love and support with out showing both sides.  We cannot feel free unless we have courage to embrace both parts. 

Yes courage.  Look at situations in your life when you said no one cared for me, no one came to my aid, no one nurtured me.  Are there times when it may have been possible if you did not have fear of being turned down or made wrong?  Could there have been people who really would have been there if they actually could see you needed them?

Powerful and vulnerable.  Embrace the whole of who you are. 

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...
