Blood and Guts!


I had blood drawn this morning.  I have always been terrified of needles.  So instead of going to fear, while she was drawing 5 tubes, I just sat there.  I said Sharon what is this for you, where did this come from.  I know when I go deep to feel it, I will have something come up that will be painful.  But I have learned to sit with it, go to the feelings and let it come up so I can move through it.  Tears started to pour down my cheeks.  The lady asked me if I was ok.  You see the world thinks that feeling is something bad.  Nope, I just feel.  And When I do, it moves me.   

It moves through me. 

Here is what I get to feel.  The pain of when I was a child.  I passed out once when my mom had blood drawn.  I was 8.  She had huge tubes drawn.  ( and I remembered the story) but never as deep as this morning.  Because I choose to ask "Sharon, go deep.... what is it? keep going"..... the memory came.   

Softly it came.  I remember that my mom was always sick.  Always at the doctors.  Always in a psyche ward.  I now know I was in terror of my mom dying.  The healing tears just fell.   

So every time I saw needles it triggered that fear.   

Wow….. 

Thanks for listening.  I can today still feel what that little girl felt.  So afraid. 
 

Thank you life, thank you real love, thank you loved ones who can see me when I am fragile and processing more and still love me........... 

Love you.  Sharon

GUT-WRENCHING LOVE

  Gut- Wrenching Love   I just listened to Jason Mraz’s song “Love is Still the Answer”.   I cried.   My heart wept and my eyes did a lot of leaking.   My heart is open wide.     And I remembered love.   Big Love.    I witnessed in the video all kinds of crazy, romantic, sexy, creative God-like love of beaches, nature, clouds, baby’s feet, sharing, a wedding, Gay love, Straight love, love of our children, painting, yoga, music, dancing, playfulness, ice-skating, biking, ballet, fireworks , old age love…well, you get the gist.   You should watch.   You too will cry and remember that love is still the answer.   I am here to share that there was a moment in my life when I chose a different kind of love.   It’s the kind of love that is gut wrenching.   It’s the kind of love that you have to dig down deep into your worn torn heart and find the courage to do the right thing, to choose love.   November befo...

Telling the truth

Why is it so important to tell the truth about ourselves? As I travel and share real love with folks, I realize that the toughest thing we can do is tell the truth. We have become so ritualized and formatted to protect ourselves that we live in the lies. We cannot see them at all. The world has told us (failed us) that if we tell the truth we will be shunned, turned away, unliked or worse unloved. The world has taught us to KNOW this on a very deep level. Almost intuitively we know that we cannot be loved for who we are. So we sit with a dilemma. We are addicted to a facade. We don't even know that survival has become the order of the day. We have these behaviors that guarantee our own demise. What is it that we are doing? When we don't tell the truth about who we really are we cannot find those gold nuggets, those people who can love us for the good, bad and ugly of who we are. If the 3 things we need to be happy are: be loved, be loving and be responsible, then how can we eve...

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 ...
