May we know peace with our self, our partner, and our universe …

We can live in denial of the chaos. We can live resisting the chaos, trying to justify our role in it, blaming somebody else for it, or feeling guilty about it. BUT we cannot know REAL peace without facing the chaos.… More

You are …

When you know that you are enough, you have nothing left to be afraid of. That was always the mother of all your fears. There is nothing left to be angry about, feel shameful about, or worry about. Without fear, you have perfect love. You ARE perfect love.… More

Everything …

When we open up to ALL of love, we know it is everything. We know it is for us. And we know we are it! … More

Dear Friends … Life is FULL — of LOVE

When I let my Mom know that I was about to write my newsletter, she suggested that I start it out with what a blessing I was to her this morning. And … that next week I talk about somebody else I blessed. She said it would give me something fresh to talk about every week. I told her she was a very smart girl! She is.

Mom and I started by her sharing a revelation with me. She almost always wakes up with one; and today’s was about living NOW. We moved deliberately, talking ourselves through it out loud, from her bed to the wheel chair. We took a hot shower (I stayed mostly dry) and shampooed her new haircut for the first time. We followed that with breakfast and Bible Go Fish at the table. Then, we were off for a lovely walk with the squirrels, birds, and her favorite, Mr. Pink Flamingo, who commented on her bunny slippers. Maybe the neighbor overheard him, because he, too, admired the bunnies.

Life is full … of love. May we see it and share it. May we BE the love within us NOW.… More

Overcoming your insecurity to be a better lover …

Many years ago while I was dating a psychiatrist, he told me I was too often disappointed with him. I was goo-gah over his brain, and he melted me — and everybody else — when he smiled. He saw through people and felt warm toward them; and they knew it. Disappointed in him? Not this girl.

Bless my insecure little 30-year-old heart, though, I acted like I was. Because I felt inferior, I tried not to act intimidated or overly impressed. I was bold in expressing my insight into his issues; he was receptive — not defensive.

When he told me that our issues were clashing, I thought it was mostly about my not feeding his ego. I thought that was a good thing. Without realizing it, though, I continued to feed my own ego and want him to feed it. Truth is, I wanted desperately to feel good enough for him!

Now I realize that he probably saw through my defensiveness, and understood his own need for reinforcement. He still wanted somebody who was impressed by him. I was — the condo, the car, the Yale degree — but I was unable to express that freely. I was too self-conscious about what I saw as my own shortcomings to ignore what I saw as his shortcomings and underscore his long list of strengths.… More
