This blog is just me, sharing some of my perceptions and ideas on life. Feel free to take everything with a grain of salt. If you do choose to read on, hope you enjoy and hope it gives you some "food for thought" and even if you think my ideas are full of shit, hope it at least encourages you to look at little more openly and deeply at life.

THE CLOSET THAT IS OUR MIND

September 06, 2017

Several years ago my husband built me a closet in the basement for my house redecorating supplies. It is great. Has lots of room and shelves. Was so nice to have somewhere I could organize everything. Started out putting things away neatly but of course as years went by it became messy through me just tossing stuff in and instead of being somewhere to keep all my supplies organized it turned into a place that just hid the mess. I am about to paint my dining room. There were a few spots on the walls that needed filling so off I go to brave my closet to look for my filler. I couldn't find it. I'm moving stuff all around looking and looking and finally got fed up and made up my mind I was going to pull everything out and get it organized again. Half way through I look at the mess I'd created and started thinking "What the hell did I get myself in too!" At that point I had a choice of giving up and just chucking everything back...

INTUITION

August 30, 2017

I’ve wanted to write about this for a long time and finally felt prompted after something I read today in the writings of someone who’s views on life I love and respect very much. They touched on the idea of intuition but referred to it as “emotional intuition” and implied that logic should come first and intuition should be ignored. They also “poo pooed” individuals for doing things because it “felt right”. Another thing that has had me wanting to write about intuition is, many years ago I was a student of “shamanism” and the teacher encouraged us to use our intuition BUT added that our intuition isn’t always right?!? Then what is the point of following it if it has a habit of steering us wrong? First of all I want to say that “emotional intuition” is a dichotomy – the two words contradict each other (like trying to say someone is a violet pacifist) and illustrate the individual’s complete lack of awareness and understanding o...

STEPPING INTO MY VUNERABILITY

September 02, 2017

So I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog and how I wish to precede. What it is I wish to accomplish. What it is I wish to do. What the point is. Trying to dig deep to see what my motivations really are and is it really something I WANT to do and if so, why? Part of me keeps holding back because there is a fear that I’m doing it out of some form of “arrogance”. Like somehow I’m trying to “show off” and as I write that I suddenly remember being accused of being a show off as a kid. How it seemed that every time I did something and was thrilled about it I was accused of showing off. Wow. Big insight. Wondered why I felt shaky as I started to type and am actually breaking out in a sweat and feel tears wanting to come out. And maybe explains why I have been feeling a lot of resistance to doing this blog even though I was initially very excited at the prospect. What a perfect beginning to this article! ...
