Love Note

"I love you even more because I've hated you as well. I've judged you and I've misunderstood you and I've argued with you. And I know I always find my way back to loving you just like you do for me too. "

NEW 52

I have set myself a fun project for 2013 inspired by my wonder-full creative community on line, I started in May 2013. I'm going to do one new thing each week of the year. It can be something small or something large. I might travel to a new neighbourhood or a new country. I might try a new recipe or a new kind of wine. I might explore a new language or try a new instrument...

DO I DARE?

"What I think is that a good life is one hero journey after another. Over and over again, you are called to the realm of adventure, you are called to new horizons. Each time, there is the same problem: do I dare? And then if you do dare, the dangers are there, and the help also, and the fulfillment or the fiasco. There’s always the possibility of a fiasco. But there’s also the possibility of bliss."
-Joseph Campbell

The dawn eventually returns

I’ve always had my own way of doing things. I’ve never wanted to be like anyone else except when I’m wanting to be “normal and usual.” There was a time in my life after I got married where I really tried to be like everyone else. But what followed was a deep depression, felt stuck, lost, experiencing grief... like when you are awakened from a deep sleep frightened from a nightmare, and the first thing you wanna do is to turn on the light, because when the light is turned on, the scary imaginings will disappear and you will be calmed eventually. But when we feel hopeless, faithless, and empty it may seem we cannot even reach for the light, though it is always available to us. So one day, I read an article about spirituality and recovery, the idea of "embracing the darkness" really stuck me, and that is when answers appeared and miracles occurred. From then on, I feel really healing and moving forward. Because every time I find myself in a dark place, I try to sit with it for a while and allow the message it has for me to appear. I can learn about who I am in this lost place. My soul may be stopping me in my tracks for a reason. Listen. I won't try to ignore it,  because it will get louder to get my attention. (It may feel as if I am not moving, however there is greater force under the surface, a force that supports me on my path always).

Marianne Williamson says, "There is a light in all of us.” When we forget this and feel hopeless, we can always reach out to a friend, a letter, a favorite book, a piece of poem, a community... they can hold out hope for until we find our inner light again.

The dawn eventually returns.

It become my habit when I’m feeling out of sorts, “Who are you trying to make happy?” The answer to that question should always be “me”. Always. Yes, there are those times when your kid needs you, a family member, a friend, or a boss, but every day has to have a moment in it where you make U happy.

Right now, my happiness came from this poem ( recommended from a very special soul ) 

Be the Star you are

If you let go a little you will have a little peace;

if you let go a lot you will have a lot of peace;

if you let go completely you will have complete peace.

- Ajahn Chah
