Creating A Future of Love

Continuing the Cycle of Love and Nurturing ...

When a child pushes a parent’s buttons or misbehaves, sometimes all a parent can do is to lose their temper or speak harshly to their child. And sometimes …a parent treats their child the way they were treated …with anger and violence – continuing the cycle.

Today, parents are more sophisticated than they were 20 or 30 years ago. And they’re busier and overwhelmed.

By continuing the cycle of how our parents treated us… Continue

WORD FOR THE DAY

>The more alert we become

strength

To experience strength, practice commitment. Commitment is evident in your habits, not your dreams. A wedding vow is not a commitment – a long and healthy marriage is…

Mother Teresa’s strength is not measured by her results, but by her commitment. Mother Teresa was not attached to making a difference in the world, in Calcutta, in the Catholic Church, and not even for every needy person. She was committed to serving humanity and that… Continue

A little about me.

Hi.

I am exhausted by religion. While I love the semiotics of religion, and communication with the source, the ONE, a marvelous experience, I have become tired by the emphasis of 'importance' to any particular sect of faith.

I know when I am awake, or I am asleep there is communion always with the entire existence I was invited to be a part of when I was given a conscious experience in flesh that cannot be the same without the ability to manipulate a shape.

I… Continue

Happiness

Happiness is a personal experience that can pass as quickly as it came. The fastest way to lose it is to try not to… and the best way to keep it is to give it away. You may already know that Happiness is not a place, a time, a result or a circumstance. It can’t be bought, sold, or even measured.

Don’t expect to find it here either -- it is not on this page.

This page is about how to feel happy right now in this moment… and not a little… Continue

Vitality

Our sense of Vitality is a function of our light divided by our sense of loss. If and when we focus on "loss" we rob ourselves and others of our light.

Notice your thoughts of lost time, lost opportunities, lost love, lost health... don't resist, just notice when that sense of loss is consuming your energy and diminishing your light... and then choose to shine your love instead.

Ray Charles, for example, did not focus on… Continue

Weekly Tidbit: The Monkeys Within

Monkey Mind is described by Wikipedia as a Buddhist term meaning "unsettled; restless; capricious; whimsical; fanciful; inconsistent; confused; indecisive; uncontrollable." It is often used as a psychological metaphor for the chattering conversations in our mind hosted by "the Committee" .... conversations that often results in feelings of worry or anxiety. It is the left side of our brain that likes to justify our participation in these discussions; the part of our mind that likes to figure… Continue

I Love Words

I love words. Words keep me sane, yet I see how I have placed limitations upon myself depending on my perception around the meaning of a word. My perception of peace may be different than yours, and if I remain stuck in my perception I may miss an opportunity to expand my vision of peace within myself. It has been a bit of a challenge at times to let go of my limiting perceptions – but worth it….

My Notebook

There is something about my notebook that I find comforting. The sound of my pencil scratching the words of my soul across the page brings me peace within. I fill it with the stories from my mind, happy, confusing, painful at times, but it doesn’t matter, there are no limits on what I can share within the sacred pages of this book.

The safety provided by my notebook, my objective listener cannot be matched. My notebook does not talk back, judge, invalidate or advise. It allows me to… Continue

Daily Quote By Lynn Fishman

FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCT AND MOVE FORWARD.

“The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.”
