Aware of My Power

How do we stay true to ourselves? It's looming 24-7, ain't it? Yes it is.

Remembering how stellar is your core self is the start, middle and finish, no, dare I say it, your eternal assurance that who YOU are is perfect.

Stay true to you.

How do we devalue ourselves? Excusing poor behavior - whether consciously or unconsciously - by those executing the nasty behavior. Saying "it's okay. I need the money. I need the job. It doesn't matter. It doesn't touch me. I don't need to accept it."

My goal now is to stand up and walk or turn my back on anyone speaking in a devaluing way to me, forgetting the sterling core self - of them and of me.

I can honor who they are at the core and forgive the social mask of their unawareness.

This surges power up from my core. I do not need to seek anything on the outside.

I am whole. From the inside.

Forever.

Getting Back, Reaching for the Back Channel

"I have no particular spiritual insights, but I think every writer who does this on a daily basis has a 'back channel' to the subconscious that can be accessed pretty easily. Mine is wide and deep....I sense strongly that this world is a thin place indeed, simply a veil over a brighter and more amazing truth." -- Stephen King from The WD Interview with Jerry B. Jenkins and himself, Writer's Digest, May/June 2009


Forgive me, Swimming Free. Five months away from you to the day is TOO long. What happens to us to allow us to disengage, leave what we love?

Yesterday I was at Barnes and Noble with my older daughter, Leila, and as we sat in the cafe reading, I gripped the latest copy of Writer's Digest and realized it was now or never to begin again, as I have again and again.

And again.

Honor, baby steps, faith, and integrity to selfishly embrace this moment in front of me and I humbly accept.

Unforeseen nets got me, but now, once again, I am swimming free.
