Unique

Hello friends...here is a poem from the book I am working on publishing! Enjoy..remember...you are unique...love yourself

Unique

I am but just one cell
in this vast cosmic divinity.
I must embrace
all that is unique about me.
I have to do this
to fulfill my God given destiny.

My small part is necessary
for the cosmic working
of this “life thing.”

No more trying to fit in.
In doing so I lose
my unique expression.

I must use my five senses
to express outwardly
my soul within.

There is only one of me
in the sea of divinity.
That is why I have a body.
To be separate
allows for the unique
expression of my individuality.

On a higher level,
we are all connected.
Each of us having our own
unique purpose.

To be the same
is to be deaf, mute and lame.
Yet we are all a family.

Each person
has a contribution.
It is lightness or darkness.
Whatever he or she chooses.
In each moment we have
to choose this.

We will all get caught up
in bad choices,
but the point is
to make your contribution
mostly lightness.

To be unique is to be free.
I have to embrace my power
to experience and express
this journey deep into
my singularity.

I chase this life at God-speed.
Each person’s part
I realize is of equal necessity.

Each of us having a body
to use as the vessel
for our divine creativity.

I embrace this process.
Through it I have built
the love of me….
brick by brick.

It is not about being narcissistic.
Not for me.
For me it’s about embracing
this life’s offerings.
On the other side of pain
is a glorious possibility.

Undock your boat
and embark on life’s journey.
Know yourself,
and give to this world
your unique being.

The cosmic divinity
pines for your beauty.

Hello friends! Hope you are all having a wonderful day! Lets have a dialogue about insecurity. Come on now...we all have it right?

Insecurity is a permeating darkness that comes from a deep seeded shame based belief system that says "you are not good enough, lovable enough, successful enough, good looking enough, or important enough." Shame based beliefs are most often developed in childhood or from other important defining relationships. These beliefs are petty tyrants in that they have a need to be recycled. They are mostly recycled in our relationships that we choose to be in. Insecurity can burn inside like a fire and we can feel like a melting pot of chaos inside. As insecurity grows we become more and more needy, desperate, angry, avoidant etc.

A certain amount of insecurity is healthy in that it keeps us from narcissism. We cannot pass this life class without a healthy dose of insecurity and humility. We can see our insecurity as a gift. It can guide and make you more altert those you choose to keep company with and it can be seen as your great competitor to continue to work to better yourself and feel like a winner in the world. To be fully expressed and authentic is to have insecurity. Today be a beautiful disaster! There is nothing wrong with it!

Hello friends!

It seems that in times when we are at a lowest lows that the magic of life brings the exact right person/place/experience to lift us up. There seems to be a silent yet magical message that says "you are not alone, you are always safe." Today I think we can look out to the world at our friends, family, strangers, random gifts that came our way and feel a deep sense of gratitude that they showed up at the exact right time. Life is so challenging for all of us and we need each other. We are reminded in these moments that love does exist, and that we exist in love. It is important to show people their lovability because in doing so we could essentially save a person's day, their week and sometimes their life. These moments are life changing, love altering and soul fixing!

What are you grateful for today?

Life Athlete

Today I had to stand up and love myself in a time and situation that I did not want to. I think we all face these moments of having to stand up for our dignity and value. I had so much fuel in my system after I did what I needed to do that I went on a beautiful trail run. My feet were on the earth and in the dirt. I having to navigate the uncertain terrain. I was listening to my music and thinking about the uncertain navigation metaphorically and I how agile and alert I was to stay focused on the trail. It came to me that I am a life athlete and to be good at life we have to be alert to the uncertainties. We get through those uncertainties by being in the moment and focusing on what we can control. On the trail all I could control was my speed, and each step. Let us all be life athletes and take eveything in on a conscious level in the moment and you'll see that eveything always works out for the highest good. Your attitude about yourself is the most powerful energy you put into the world. Think positive and trust the process! How can you value yourself today?
Enjoy!

Broken Pieces

Hello Friends,

Welcome to my blog! Please know this is NOT therapy and is not meant for 'treatment.' If you are reading my blog... this about is sharing and exploring....giving you things to think about. If what is written here impacts you emotionally and you feel you need help...please seek out a trained therapist.

Life in a strange way seems to be divinely open to possiblity. Even in all the treachery we can experience, we all travel in life with a "passenger consciousness." When we are young children out thoughts and emotions are experienced in the NOW, packaged away, and later in life those emotions and memories are consolidated into past/present understanding. As we age we can look back at those packaged life experiences. We can see that we have broken pieces from how we came through our traumas...even though those not in childhood. We can examine them and see how they impacted us a whole person, how we see the world, how we love, how we trust and how we navigate our lives. We can see that we have broken pieces from how we came through our childhoods.

I enjoy looking at the broken pieces of self...isn't just part of life?? We break and we grow, we break and we grow. Our calling in life is to be whole and to be whole we have to recognize and look at what is broken and impacting us as adults. It is like clearing cobwebs. If our broken pieces are ignored they will continue to poison us and our relationships, out jobs, our view on life. We all of a sudden get into a relationship and become someone that we no longer like and if we do not know where that originates from we will continue on that pattern. At our core, we are emotional beings. The emotions are meant to be examined. It is where being "conscious" originates. It starts within.

What are your beautiful broken pieces? lets share!
