Dear Friends … Quit Trying and Do It
It seems like a lifetime ago, before technology grabbed the wheel, that I had a hard copy of a to-do list. I titled my daily template, “Quit Trying and Do It.”
I spent that “lifetime” trying my little heart out. I forged ahead, with inherent struggle, sometimes feeling like no matter how hard I tried, I fell short. I persevered, but my action often reflected doubt, as well as faith. Had I really believed that I couldn’t fail, I would have risked more. I would have shot for more distant stars. I would have done more than go through the motions. I would have acted as though I knew my effort was enough, regardless of the result. And in doing so, I would have felt the deep satisfaction that only comes with giving it all we’ve got. It’s not about breaking the bank or breaking our back. It’s about breaking through our fear.

He loves me, he loves me not … without the daisy
I love him? I love him not? You know the truth. Don’t be afraid of it.
We’ve all felt the torment of, “He loves me, he loves me not.” Sometimes we get so caught up in that refrain that we fail to objectively consider our own feelings. Your love and desire aren’t contingent on his (or hers). And it’s much easier to know what’s in your heart than it is to know what’s in somebody else’s. Even when we’re torn from one moment to the next, the answer is there. Sometimes we just don’t want to see the answer that’s spelled out in front of us.
If you’re struggling to decide — to date or not to date, to break-up or not, to get married or not — try the following:
~ Ask YOURSELF the question. Don’t get sidetracked trying to second guess what somebody else thinks or wants, and don’t take the easy way out by making somebody else responsible for choosing. Remember that it takes two, though.
~ Ask what you want to do — not what you should do.
~ Ask how you would counsel a friend struggling to answer the question. This allows you to stand back and be objective.… More
Free and Loved …
When we hide some of the pieces from rejection, we also hide them from love. When we expose all of the pieces, we fall in love with the whole. We are free. And, we are loved.… More
