7. Day 9: Feelworthy
In light of some recent intense events I found myself needing a word that I couldn’t find. A word that could describe what was happening and what I was feeling about what was happening. The word that arrived fully formed was: FEELWORTHY (adj)–something (an event, person, experience) worthy of all the feelings I am having; having a right to have all the feelings present; all that I am feeling NOW ex: “This departure is feelworthy.” In a matter of days just over a week ago several BIG things happens all close together. My nephew and his wife had a dear baby girl...

Soon after asking my self what my blog was really about, I received this beautiful note from a dear friend. It was so an answer to my heart’s question I have to reprint as written. I recognized the Voice of Love instantly. (the quote by Neale Donald Walsch was perfect as he is one of the first authors I ever read who shared God’s voice so directly) “Good Morning, Your blog is all about telling the truth and being fearless in the expression of the truth of your being…love.

Read More7. Day 7: Happy Birthday To Me!
You know the coolest thing about birthdays? They are a great way to take an honesty break and really notice your life. I can acknowledge where I am and what I am doing. I can notice what I love (or don’t love) in my life. I love birthdays (of course;) for many reasons but one of the best things is that past/present/future game we get to play.

My Dad took me aside and gave me his credit card and...

Read More7. Day 5: Honesty Is Instantly Grounding
This blog is calling my bluff. Or rather my heart is. I was truly called to begin this daily blogging practice of extending love to my epic fears and writing about my experience. I have, obviously, been practicing a great deal of honesty all along these past months by virtue of the fact if you write every day it is hard to avoid honesty. But I still fear honesty in certain situations. Honesty is a very simple way to “BE HERE NOW”. We can get very fancy and write blogs and books about Being Here Now but honesty does it for us. If we are willing. One of the ways my blog...
Read More7. Day 4: What Is My Blog About Anyway?
My daughter asked me recently what my blog was about. I faltered a bit because I thought she was reading it, therefore already knew. There I was caught in the headlights of a moment that called for honesty because I instantly was feeling less-than (no fault of my daughter who really only knows how to be honest). I was a bit annoyed that it wasn’t obvious to her. Because of my commitment to honesty I had to ask myself, firstly, why was I annoyed with her not knowing? Why did it matter to me?
