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!

  3. I love clearing those cobwebs, as difficult as it can be.The amazing thing is that the work never stops....NEVER. It takes constant care and maintenance. Even when you have worked so much, there's always something...some sticking point that makes you realize the beauty and complexity of what it is to be in this life. This has proven to me that things aren't as black and white as they seem sometimes. There are triggers everywhere pushing and shoving us...testing our strength. And even if we have worked hard on ourselves, if others have not then those broken pieces of theirs can most definitely impede our growth.That's when knowing that you have done your work pays off though because then you can distinguish between what is your broken piece, and what is someone else's.
    Great topic :)

  4. I've had to call in sick two days in a row for a job I've had for only two weeks. I dislike that my boss makes me feel guilty for doing so. I believe he truly thinks that I am not home sick with the stomach flu that I'm just taking these days as personal days even though I'm working while I'm at home. Trying really hard not to let him have this power over me. If he doesn't believe me, I need to just accept this.
