The Heart Will Heal

Our heart is the most malleable part of us.  These words came to me after experiencing an emotional moment looking at a recent picture my husband and me taken just yesterday.  The picture is part of a composite of family photos I decided to do prior to the holidays and prior to my leaving for missionary work for three months.  I wanted to have some pictures for our upcoming new home and to have while I was away from home.  The emotion that rose out of looking at those pictures made me think about my nine years with my partner and the ups and downs.  It realised that the reason we are still a couple is because the heart is malleable and that we may have our hearts broken yet we mend.  Once we mend we can either walk away or stay and in our case we have stayed in spite of the because we don't love having a broken heart nor do we love the thought of staying with a broken heart.  It elicits appreciation in us for our partner because our hearts are pliable.  Our hearts tell us that we are going to be OK no matter what happens and our hearts can go from having splinters to being whole again.

Love is the key to healing our heart.  Love makes our heart flexible and willing to take another chance.  Our hearts are strong and provides the emotional strength we need to forgive and or let go.  It gives us the courage to start back up once we have forgiven someone we love.  The way that we find that place in our hearts begins with a physical connection, us touching our heart by placing our hands onto it.  Our heart responds to that touch and our mind responds to the compassion and connection.  Taking the time to do this is symbolic and it sends us a message that our heart is at the center of our love, our healing, our spirit and our life.  When we are feeling sadness or hurt taking hold of our heart with our hands over it will make us feel a little better and is a small start to a beautiful path of healing.  We find that our heart is malleable and that our heart can rise up along with our energy and our vibration.

I want to ask each of you to embrace a knowing that your heart is really able to handle more than you think.  I want to ask myself and all of you to accept that a heart is a part of us that will break in our life and that we can mend from  the pain by honouring it and by tending to it.  This is how our hearts will keep beating, keep repairing and continue to love.  This is why we can have disagreements with people we love, feel like our hearts cannot take the disappointment and still come up breathing.

My malleable heart story starts with a ten year marriage that ended that grew into friendship and a new kind of love with a person who I have two children with and is now my good friend.  She is someone who likely figured out what I figured out, that the heart can heal emotionally if given time and given love, understanding a compassion.  So you see the heart is truly malleable.  It is capable of healing because we truly miss the chances to heal when we think it is not possible.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
