Unworthy or Acceptance
"The cause of human conflict is simple: one person dehumanizes another. One side sees the other side as unworthy. As long as people who disagree perceive each other this way, even the simplest details cannot be negotiated. But let each person bring to the other the attitude of respect and acceptance, and even difficult details… Continue reading Unworthy or Acceptance
Embodiment
Love is not something you do. Love is who you are. You are the embodiment of love in this moment. Nothing less. But all this begins in your own heart. It begins with your willingness to love and accept yourself. ~ Paul Ferrini, Return to the Garden
Sore Spot
Every time I think I know who I am, life throws me a curveball and I'm whacked up side the head. Over the last few weeks, a series of events have occurred that have caused me to question everything about myself once again.It all starts when someone does something that hits a sore spot. At… Continue reading Sore Spot
Work With It

Truth About You
When you contact the truth about you, you recognize that a great deal that you have come to accept about you is false. You are not better or worse than others. You are not stupid or brilliant, or handsome, or ugly. Those are just judgments someone made that you accepted. None of them are true.… Continue reading Truth About You
Embrace the Journey
There are no finish lines in life, yet perpetually seeking them, in terms of the quick fix, the big win, or a home run, serves only to remind you of what [you feel] is missing . . .

Continuing Home
I was thinking about my blog post (Nomads) regarding what makes a person feel like they're home. Remember the movie Sleepless in Seattle? In the film, Tom Hanks character was a widower pining for his wife. He couldn't imagine anyone else making him feel the way she did. There's a scene where the character tries… Continue reading Continuing Home

If you offer . . . love that overlooks faults and soars… Continue reading Deep Down

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening. ~… Continue reading Thursday Thought
Fairness
This word “fairness” is thrown around a lot. I’m a Libra, and while I’m not really into astrological signs, it describes me perfectly. Justice, fairness, balance. I’ve built my entire life on those things and work towards them every single day. I feel that my experience with those three things for over 50 years gives… Continue reading Fairness

Up, Down, Sad, Happy, Good, Bad
When my husband and I first moved to Florida as a newlyweds, one of the local newspapers gave away free papers on any day the sun didn't shine. I don't know if that is still their policy, but I learned very soon that this truly is the Sunshine State. So far in 2014, we've seen… Continue reading Up, Down, Sad, Happy, Good, Bad
Acceptance
Anything in life that we don't accept will simply make trouble for us until we make peace with it. ~ Allen Reid McGinnis I have a confession to make.

There is only one thing wrong with the younger generation - a lot of us don't belong to it anymore. ~ Bernard Baruch I'm no longer a part of the younger generation, but I won't admit that it happened sooner than today's birthday.
