More Love For Me

Today is the day after Valentine's Day and frankly I am a little relieved even though I had a nice time with my friend and mother of my kids Lucy.  Dinner and the flowing conversation about our kids and life flowed, even a little talk about the future.

I woke up grateful to have her in my life, a truly loving person.  A rock in my life and a person who has always accepted me exactly as I am.  Either way it is nice to leave this commercial day behind me and know that Hallmark invented it whereas my family and I have Love days all the time: our intention.  We pick times to be together and do things that are loving all the time, all year round and I write love letters and send cards to my children year round.  Love is not limited to holidays or Hallmark created days, although those can be fun too.

Today I made a date with an old friend and realized I had March 15 as my nearest Sunday where I could see her.  She and I both were a little taken aback by this fact.  I had not seen her in so long that now she has a five year old child which means it has been at least five years and nine months since I have seen her.  She texted me a picture of her son who is my youngest grandchild's age: 5.  At a time like this it is so healing to connect with old friends and a testament to our friendship.

The day after Love Day and My plans are to simply enjoy the day.  I am going to take the time to meditate and pray.  I am going to kick up my heels on the ottoman and sit on the soft sofa.  Make a smoothie with bananas, raspberries and pineapple: all fresh.  Enjoy some OWN TV and relax and stay in from the cold.

As the sun beams in I feel grateful for what I have.  I feel like God has gifted me with all that I need.  I feel whole just knowing that I have a warm place to be and a beautiful environment that God helped me to create.  Tonight I will continue the self love with candles at night and if I feel the urge go and workout my upper body for my trip to my friend out of state soon.  I know that no matter what I am blessed and not matter what happens around me it does not have to be my story for I am in the new story of Elliott that means: Joy, Love, Abundance, Excitement and Hope.

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 ...
