Love Myself: Check

God always presents to me through others and today was not any exception.  I am constantly called to serve and although I would like to say no at times I know when to say yes and not miss the opportunity to help others to heal and hence heal myself.  I am humbled each time knowing that I am not here to be an onlooker but rather and active participant.  I am here to get involved and stay in my awareness.

If it were not for others calling to me I would not be in my own fullness.  I am reminded often that this is my life lesson, to be in my fullness and to know that part of it is to be present for others.  First to be present for myself then to be present for others.  First to love and embrace the man that I am and will become more of and then to embrace other people for exactly who they are and where they are.  If it were not for my connection to others I would not know with such certainty that I am here to serve and connect with every fiber of my body, soul and emotions.

God presented to me once again and today it was all about getting outside my comfort zone to witness the truth.  It was all about the journey that will lead me to the next step in my life and the love that I have to share.  It is about breaking the myths and creating a new story because when we do we live anew.  It is about seeing myself in another person and realizing that we are more alike than different.  Then not only do I feel compassion for that person but my own compassion is raised up several levels.

I don't have any secret code.  I don't know more than any one else necessarily.  What I know is that when I embrace the person I am in my wholeness then and only then am I truly alive.  What I know is that when I hold the light for another person that I am increasing my own light.  And what I know for sure is that whatever mistakes we make we are already forgiven and that God will present again and again for as long as we are here.

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 ...
