"What Is Up" Journal - Tues. Oct. 18/11

Faith — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:34:19 +0100

I got some art materials today for 40% off which is a pretty good deal!

The best part is that I felt at home again when I was standing there in the art aisle hugging the sketch pads close to my heart checking out the art supplies. Such a warm feeling!

For awhile there I didn't ever think I would ever feel this way again. I became disconnected from being an artist a long time ago after being a really good artist my whole life. And now IRead More...

"What Is Up" Journal - Sat. Oct. 8/11

Faith — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 01:16:40 +0100

This is just gonna be me journaling from my heart about what I feel that is genuine and good in my everyday life which is "what is up" that makes me the person I am.

I experienced something very special today.

When I was in the kitchen making a raw cake which I was happy with, but really thought the frosting needed some serious tweaking. So I'm at it being experimental doing a bunch of taste test every time I add something new and know that Read More...

2011 With Love

Faith — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 02:12:11 +0100

Another year is here
2011
Appreciating 2010
I am here
Wondering about me and others
Having faith that all is good
Forgiven past
Learning to be in the now
Casting my worries in God's hands about the future
Stepping out in the world once again with my heart on my sleeves
What do I want to do
What does the good life has in mind for me
What kind of people will I meet in the future
Feeling like I'm on square one again for the hundredth oRead More...

A Poem I Really Appreciate!!

Faith — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 11:32:06 +0100

Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure aRead More...

"Special"

Faith — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 11:06:58 +0100

"Special"

Unique that we all are.
There is not one like you or me.
To embrace how special each one of us are is letting ourselves truly shine.
To do that is to showing thanks and honoring God for who we are.
We have gifts and treasures within each on of us.
Some are found and some are waiting to be discover.
Amazing things happen when we learn how to trust the Above.
We have so much to learn about life no matter hRead More...

A moment of thought

Faith — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 02:37:41 +0100

Having no fear to change in a good way is not a bad thing to do.

The world has a lot of healing to do.
Believe in the beyond of goodness.
Free to be.

My personal philosophy regarding God, and interest in Louise Hay

John Annesley — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:06:30 +0100

Someone recently asked me if I believe in God and the answer is yes. When I tell people my view that God is unconditional love, I don’t mean that the full definition of God is love in a human context. I mean that the highest, fullest manifestations of kindness and compassion are in alignment with the nature of God. That’s why there’s such a thing as a state of grace, as being able to step into the flow of creation and manifest wonderful things for oneself and others simply bRead More...

Beating My Fists Against the Walls of Heaven, or "Letter to a Friend"

Martine Eros — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:40:05 +0100

Darling beautiful friend,

I have a story for you, soul sister... because I know no other way to say "I understand your grief", than to tell it...

In 2008, in a one-week span, I suffered a series of losses that left me stunned, angry, and spiraled me into a depression that lasted for months. My long-term partner left me, a dear friend killed herself, and another friend died suddenly of a heart attack... all within a few days of each other. A few months later, my belRead More...

Tears

Bette Shaw — Fri, 28 May 2010 09:42:03 +0100

Why are we so afraid of our tears? Why are we afraid to cry alone or when with others? What,in is, says tears are a negative thing? Do tears indicate weakness? Do we fear falling all apart if we let go and let them flow?

Here is my experience with tears.
Last week, my sister said some heart hurting things. Yes, I knew it was not about me, what she was saying to me, yet I felt them on my own level. And she was, while deep in her own doo-doo, sending out a rejection message to mRead More...

Tai Chi Lesson

Kellie — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:23:15 +0100

As a part of class we have to choose a topic (given to us) and write an essay. I have chosen to pick a writing of the Tao Te Ching and write how it relates to my life. It is a bit of a free write but I learned while writing (which I think was the point) so I decided I would put it out "there" for others.....it is a draft and I welcome feedback.

NAFE AWARDS

Just got back from New York attending the Nafe awards for the year 2009. Some awesome women were honored. Go to www.nafe.org and read all about them.

A most delightful time as we drove to the Poconos in Pennsylvania. We, Robbie, Fannie and me had delightful lunch at Mollie's in Stroudsburg. The snow started falling so fast that when we left there after about two hours meeting with wonderful people, we had to head down the hills since we did noRead More...

Release Stress for the Holidays

June Davidson — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 02:36:42 +0100

Holiday time and it does create a lot of stress for most of the people.

Part of Bodacious Living is to learn to release stress and live in the moment. If you are totally stressed you do not even know you are in the moment as the negative energy goes to something that has happened in the past or that is immanent in the future. Just a few tips to help you have a happier holiday season.

1. Stop where you are and take a deep breath. As you breath in be aware Read More...
