Be the Change, Mahatma Gandhi and Pockets of Peace, Part 3

PixieCharlieRoxieNuggetKate

Mr Gandhi said "Be the change that you want to see in the world".  He said that we do not have control over things outside of us only ourselves. If we want to see an amazing world than act amazing.
 John F Kennedy said "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
Maurice Sendak  said "That there must be more to life than having everything".

Internal Pockets of Peace, Part 2 and Happy ThanksGiving

Unconscious Messenger

We all have the crazy parts of our families and relationships mirrored inside each of us.  Since we are not" Hallmark" families, we all have a variation of an annoying  cousin, a kindhearted sister, a mean spirited father, a kind mother in law and an alcoholic uncle. It is  possible that the reason you feel crazy some days is that you are holding everyone and everything inside you?

Pockets of Peace

Frog Peace

Everyone is talking about what we can do to help with all of the disasters and serious challenging situations happening in the world. Some of us may feel like we are helping by watching CNN obsessively so that we know exactly what is happening moment by moment.

Dissociative Identity Disorder, a forerunner of healthy functioning?

Heron Strong

I just finished reading this well written piece Titled  Not so Bad:On Consent-Non-Consent-Trauma by Christina Tesoro.  Ms Tesoro talks about things is an even handed way that are hard to talk about.
The part that I want to talk about is allowing ourselves to have a variety of feelings about any one topic. We are brought up to be either black or white, a Republican or Democratic, male or female , a professional or non professional, etc. These tags or labels are so narrow that we can forget that we may be many things at once.

What is your spiritual practice?

Turtle self love

I have thought about this question so much over the past several years. I never knew what to say when anyone asked me this question. This seemed so silly  to me since I think about my spirituality a great deal. I just never knew what my answer would be. In my head, I might say I  practice meditation, yoga  or walking  a lot in nature.

The Turtles are Looking At You.... What will you do?

Turtle Love

There is so much happening right now inside and outside of who we are. Previously,  we thought we could tell how we were different from everyone else....... This ability seems to be clearing and a greater ability seems to be coming in. We are now aware of how connected we are to everyone else and there is no longer a separation. So if we hear someone else's good news we feel it and the opposite is also true.

What I know and perhaps don't know about Facebook

knowing facebook

There is so drama right now. Sometimes, I feel that it is better not to say anything  In fact, we may  hesitate to say what we really feel in case it causes still more drama. And then there is Facebook......
