Do You, Love You?

11/17/2015

 
Picture
My late Mother always said to me "You have to love yourself before you can love others". I realize now that I did not have any depth or understanding of that statement. At this point in my life, I have a deeper understanding of what loving myself can mean. My current definition would be that loving myself is about embracing and accepting the peace that is and always has existed within me. I experience love as a deep, spacious, open knowing that expands from within me and connects to all that is around me. In relationship with others I have felt an excited and heightened energy which makes me feel really alive. I question whether this feeling is a part of the peaceful love I feel or something entirely different.

Connect To You

I spent the majority of my life judging myself for being different than others. I saw the world very differently and had different interests. I also thought that I needed to be like others and tried to be like them. This resulted in a lot of inner conflict. I created beliefs and judgments from what I experienced externally. When I reflect back on my childhood, I can remember so many situations where I got into trouble for being me. I lived in a world where adults said things like "Why can't you be more like...."

Connecting With Yes

I think being a parent is an area of my life which presents a deep opportunity for growth and awareness. I have been humbled by my mistakes and enlightened by the teaching that my kids have held for me. I deeply want the best for my kids and I also want to shield them from the pain that I experienced. I often held the belief that because I was older and had life experience, it gave me permission to impose my beliefs onto my children. This belief would often lead to conflict.

We could easily have a discussion about any of the following topics; suicide, depression, anxiety, loneliness the list goes on.  All of the topics I just mentioned are symptoms, that invite us to look a little deeper.  I have spent a lot of time this week reflecting on how I have felt over the years and how far I have come.

11 Attributes Of Fire ~ A Metaphor For The New Masculine

7/26/2014

Over the years it has become easier to openly share my stories and my fears and feel like I have nothing to hide. While this is my truth, it is most certainly not everyone's truth. I had forgotten how difficult it can be to share with others and be vulnerable. Creating a safe space where authentic sharing and reflection can happen is a real passion of mine. Fire represents the intense courage and risk required to be authentic, open and present in our interactions. When the person you are speaking to opens their heart and lets down their shield a different fire begins

The Power Of Yes In Communication

6/16/2014

Picture
Typically when we say "Yes" to something we are indicating agreement. When communicating with someone it can be difficult to hold a space of agreement depending upon what is being shared. There may be a values conflict or what is being shared may trigger a past experience that we have had. So how do we maintain presence for the speaker when we can't "be" with what is being shared?

5 Ways To Be Accountable In Conflict

6/9/2014

Being accountable is about taking action towards your ability to respond (response-ability). I think we have all been there, in the heat of the moment we say or do something that we feel cannot be taken back. Swallowing your pride can be really difficult as can losing a friendship. On a deeper level our relationships serve as a "mirror" for personal growth. We continue to react to that mirror until we own what we are seeing in the mirror.

A Rant About "Presence"

5/20/2014

3 Comments

 
Picture
There is a burning desire / need within me that for the most part is going unmet. I apologize in advance, this might be a bit of an honest rant. The deal is, that I am totally human and perfectly imperfect. For example, in regards to this Blog post, my inner critic had a bit of a field day. Write it , don't write it. You are a hypocrite if you write that. You won't be teaching anything, it's just a rant. Back and forth.
