What's in your heart???

Why do we fear to look within? 
Don't we know that what is "within" is the true "us"? And why do we avoid the truth about who we are when that is what is needed to be healed and made whole???

LOOK into your heart today...don't be afraid. 



I suppose that we might think that it might be easier for an introspective, intuitive personality to be "inward looking" but what about the EXTRAVERTS...like myself? We have NO excuse...I know that we can "look within" as long as we are WILLING to accept and embrace what we see without judgement. 

The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle.

Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just.

I love when things are transparent, free and clear 

of all inhibition and judgement.

~ Pharrell Williams ~ (of "Happy" fame)

I have looked within my heart all my life. I have always known that the only way to live a life and "find myself, be healed from abuse and learn to dream again", starts with ME accepting myself without judgement. With gentle openness and acceptance. And as soon as we accept and love ourselves, the sooner we allow ourselves to accept and love others.

I have often said that I am am writer but I admit, that I am much more a thinker and philosopher, counselor and friend and helper to many, including myself than the writer that I have hoped to become. I accept this in myself. If I want to become more of a writer; I must WILL myself to BE more of a writer. Happiness, peace and wholesome living is just like that...we create it. And we must start with ourselves...

YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!

Running away...

Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica...photographer unknown. 

Sometimes we think that if we could 

"JUST GET AWAY" 

for a while 

that things would be either so much better when we returned than when we left 

OR 

we would have been refreshed enough to face whatever we wanted to run away from...

Simple Joys 

(from the Musical "Pippin")

Stephen Schwartz

Well, I'll sing you a story of a sorrowful lad

Had everything he wanted, didn't want what he had

He had wealth and pelf and fame and name and all of that noise

But he didn't have none of those simple joys. 

His life seemed purposeless and flat

Aren't you glad you don't feel like that?

So he ran from all the deeds he'd done,

he ran from things he'd just begun

He ran from himself, which was mighty far to run

Out into the country where he'd played as a boy

'Cause he knew he had to find him some simple joy

He wanted someplace warm and green

We all could use a change of scene

Like us all, the young man in this story thought that he could RUN AWAY from his problems, but hopefully, he learned, as we have, that we cannot run away from ourselves. We try! But we will never succeed in "leaving ourselves behind". We will take ourselves with us everywhere we go...so the moral of this story is: "Find yourself, heal from abuse and learn to dream again"...Learn to LIKE yourself, you will be spending the most time of your life with YOU.
