Afraid that we weren’t “good enough,” we masked love’s perfection to win approval. We can’t be happy wearing a mask, though. We can only be happy as naked love. So happy!… More
Know thyself and …
“The essence of knowledge is self-knowledge,” said the Greek philosopher Plato. “Know thyself,” is accepted as the corner stone on which the temples of philosophy were erected; and without the corner stone, all other knowing crumbles. It is the quest that has traveled with man from the launching of a soul until the present day. It has, from the beginning, transcended continent, race, culture, and tradition. But if the sages of every age have sought the knowing, only for the next generation to seek it again, how can we have the audacity to take on the task. How can we not?

One of my favorite questions to ask when things go “wrong” is, “How will this turn out better than it would have, had things gone “right”? But I’m telling you this because I forgot to ask that question when my hair went wrong … maybe because I failed to see hope of an answer. So, here I am, reminded that there is ALWAYS an answer to that question. We don’t have to figure out how it’s possible. It IS possible. My hair is insignificant. I know this. But my responsibility to trust love is significant. And manifesting the best version of myself is a byproduct of that.
We don’t get a free pass just because we move, or get old, or temporarily lose our way.… More
