How Well Do We Actually KNOW Ourselves, And How Well Do We ACTUALLY Know The World Around Us? Is It Real?- Or Imagined?- Or, EVEN- A Dream???

Enamored and STUCK In Her Own Muck and Sh*t Distracted and Tortured by Things- that didn’t Fit. WHAT HAPPENS when the pain that has been our all too familiar friend for far too long finally subsides? HOW do we avoid falling into the trap of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" thus perpetuating the never-ending cycle of mental, emotional, spiritual, and/or physical pain? WHO do We become NOW, and is it actually a lot more difficult to redefine who we want to be and who we wished...

Patience is NOT Our Friend. At least, Patience is Not Our Friend when We Want, WHAT We Want, WHAT WE WANT RIGHT NOW, and no logical reasoning or positive affirmation can talk us out of our demanding state of being with the world. Sometimes just going through "The Motions" just trying to get to "Fine" is a task ALL in itself. What we don't realize, In the Moment, as we are wading through all the MUCK, is HOW truly powerful we really are. SOMETIMES it isn't until we have Come Through to the...

I’m done being STUPID I’m done being DUMB I’m done sitting Around STUCK Sucking My Thumb. I’m done being “Normal” Because THAT'S NOT ENOUGH! I’m done Being Frustrated Because Living’s “too Rough!” Having had ENOUGH of living with Self-Blame, we learn to meander out of the continuous overflowing dams we keep creating for ourselves.

Unstable, Unsteady, No Time For Rest— Un-Anchored, Floundering, WHERE IS My Best??? What happens when we ACTUALLY realize we have NO IDEA what we really want? WHAT HAPPENS When it Dawns on Us that MAYBE we actually DON’T Know more than The Universe does and that in All Reality, The Universe REALLY DOES have our back? WHAT do We do then? How do We COPE with this New Reality of ours, when it is the complete antithesis of ALL we have ever really known? How do We Accept what was Previously...

In a World where we can DO more, BE more, SEE more, TRY more, LIVE more... Have we gone SO FAR AWAY from ourselves that we’ve forgotten what we’ve come here to do in the first place? Listen as we explore what it is to be US at our true center and core. “I took a look at myself, and realized— there was no one else who could do ALL the things that I do... SO FAR FROM ME, I could barely SEE Me, Distracted both with shiny and new.” Life’s a journey and sometimes all we ALL really need is just...

How are we supposed to know what is right, what is REALLY right, and what is REALLY “right, right?” How are we supposed to know WHERE to go, WHAT to do, and WHEN to do it? “SHE drifts and slides from Left to Right— Barely Seeing what’s in sight. She lets distractions part her way. Is that better? SHALL I STAY?” It is hard to SEE clearly when we are ONLY at “a bend,” ESPECIALLY if We don’t EVEN KNOW it is just “A Bend” to begin with. Sometimes we just have to CHOOSE to See Beyond what is...
