Life Is a Tapestry #failure #synchronicity #findingpeace #spirituality #psychology

Sometimes, fate, Spirit, life—whatever you want to call it—leads us to the most interesting people. I find that when I’m most tempted to bail out of a situation, but force myself to do it anyway, I am always faced with one of those synchronistic moments that suggests that life is a finely woven tapestry. Last night was one of those moments.

I met a guy in my Spanish as a second language Meetup group who was really nice and funny. His family is Spanish and Italian. They speak only Spanish at home, but he was born in the U.S. and speaks English otherwise. He never really took the time to learn the basic tenets of Spanish. We decided to hang out because he is about at the same level of understanding as I. In fact, we can both teach each other.

Last night we decided to get some pizza at Hollywood beach for his 29th birthday. We brought a blanket, a bottle of wine, and my bluetooth speaker so we could listen to some soft jazz. The night was warm and the moon full. The evening was amazing and could not have been more beautiful. However, just before I was about to leave, I had the feeling I just wanted to sleep. I had no desire to go at all. Still, for some reason, I did not cancel—mostly because it was my friend’s birthday, and I didn’t want to ruin his evening.

As he gets in the car, we begin to chat both in English and Spanish, mostly in Spanish. I thought, ah, this is why I’m here. I really do enjoy learning to speak in another language. A fantastic feeling of accomplishment happens when I find myself immersed in Spanish culture through the language.

As we began to share about our lives, he shared about his ex, which still seemed to sting, I could tell. He told me stories that sounded familiar, as we all have experienced people who care less for us than we do for them; we have all had people try to control us; and we have had people use us. I was compassionate to all of the above.

However, at the end of the story, he began to describe his ex. Incredulously, the only person he had ever cared for in his entire life happened to be the first guy I dated when I moved to Florida. I have dated three guys since I have been here for no more than three months each and broke up for much the same reason. None wasn’t the right one. But, what are the friggin’ odds of one of those 3 guys being his ex?

I look forward, now, to see the lesson behind all of this.

Finding Peace in Disruption #peace #findingpeace #spirituality #psychology

If you are anything like I am, you are probably feeling the grief of the world lingering on your shoulders from the bombing yesterday. This is called social consciousness or the experience of social awareness for those around you. Social consciousness is a unified field of energy in one common Mind. You are not alone if you sense the prevailing feeling of many people around you. This just means that you are sensitive and also compassionate, which is never a bad thing. However, we must get through our day, so how do we move on from this feeling of malaise?

Yesterday, I spent most of the day feeling a sense of powerlessness and wanted to sit in my recliner and be quiet. But today, I realized I had enough of this feeling. Life must go on and love must also prevail. This will not happen when the world stops as a result of 3 humans making a horribly negative choice to kill.

I took a couple of hours to meditate on love and hope this morning. I saw the many people hurt in the process of this hate coming together to find stronger, deeper love. I imagined a world of you and I, not you OR I. I believed for the greatest in humanity, not the worst.

This kind of meditation ultimately lifted my soul to a different level of energy, one of hope and compassion. I realize that to be love, I must be in my life, living it every moment of every day. I must fashion each moment with my truth, never wavering, not even for a moment, when negativity happens. I can grieve but still believe in my heart that Love and unity will ultimately prevail on this Earth.

Namaste.

#Belgium Bombing: Love in Every Language #languageoflove #relationshipadvice #spirituality #psychology

On this beautiful morning, as always, I meditated before I looked at the news, my e-mail, and Facebook. In fact, most mornings I avoid all such annoying frequencies, so that I can hold on to my peace for as long as life will let me. Most days, though, life catches up with me fairly quickly and begins slinging mud. Today was no different.

I opened my Facebook page to find the first message from a friend who lives in Belgium: “I’m safe!”

I, of course, had no idea why he had written such a message, but my inclination was strong. I read further down the page to find the first stories of the horrific bombing in Belgium. I wish I could have held him in that moment, but the best I could do was be with him in mind and send a message back thanking God for his safety.

I turned on the television to see President Obama speaking of the matter to an audience of Cubans. In one part of the world, Democracy is trying to mute the voice of division, while in another part of the world, hate brings a strong moral divide.

One outcome that hate never understands, nor expects, is how disaster, injury, and injustice does not do a very good job at separating victims. It actually unites them, making all of us stronger and more compassionate.

I don’t suppose there are many people this morning or this afternoon saying, “Isn’t the world a terrible place?” They are more likely to be mourning the loss of the innocent lives and are taking the high watch as their hearts and minds merge with the social consciousness that would unite rather than separate.

Cuba, on one side of the world unifies, trying to find common ground with the United States. On the other side of the world, tragedy also brings unity, love, and compassion for a much very different reason.

You do not have to study a different language for very long before you realize that most languages have more than one word for the English word love. I have always wondered why the language that seems to be the presiding spoken language around the world would diminish the many different kinds and facets of love down to just one word.

But, after this morning, I realize that the word itself doesn’t matter, what language you speak inconsequential, even how many different variations of love there are. There is but one Love operating through each of us and in the world to create peace, even in the aftermath of slaughter.

Love always seeks to build a world that denotes You AND I, not You OR I!

A Barrel of Crabs and Prayer Partners #prayerpartners #energysuckers #relationshipadvice #spirituality #psychology

Did you know that if you have a barrel of crabs, you don’t need to put a lid on it so none of them escape? If a crab were to try to escape the barrel, another crab would grab it and pull it back in. Isn’t that just as interesting as imagining actually having a barrel of crabs? However, it does serve as a great analogy about the negative or positive energy of those around us.

Dr. Chris Michaels, a noted speaker and author, shares that psychologists have recently discovered that you are, and will eventually become, an amalgam or the sum total of the five closest people in your life. This analogy speaks to me and should probably speak volumes to you. If you are becoming bitchy and anxious, you probably have people around you who are also acting this way, most of the day, most of the time.

The question is: Do we rid our lives of negative people or learn to not absorb negative energy?

When you live with negative people, work with negative people, and love negative people, no matter how spiritually capable you think you are, you are subject to this negative energy, especially when you have a down day. We all have these low-energy days when we don’t have the momentum to do our jobs, let alone ward off negative people. Also, we cannot be spending half of the day warding off bad energy, and expect to have resources left to do the powerful things we want to achieve in our lives. So, yes, I think it’s time to weed out the negativity.

As Dr. Chris Michael says: You don’t have to throw these people out of your life. However, you can gently side step, far enough away that you create distance enough between you and the negativity. Then, also, you can become more and more positive. When you do this, the negative people will naturally not want to be around you. (paraphrased)

When I moved from Nashville to South Florida, I made a concerted effort to wait for authentic friendships to evolve. Of course, no one wants to be without friends to support them, but having negative friends is worse than having no friends at all. For me, I spent a great deal of time wanting to be in the “in crowd.” So, I would spend time with people I liked, was friendly with, but did not necessarily nurture my soul or lead me to my best self.

Today is a different day. I counted my close friends in Florida and realized that after almost two years of living here, I have only three, and two of them I met online and live in other countries. Over the two years, I thought I was making great friends, until life situations entered, and they proved they could not go the distance with me. Instead of holding on with dear life, I simply let go.

I still have many close friends from Nashville, but developing closeness and authentic relationship takes time and the willingness to let go of people, almost immediately whom you know will not help you become the best person you can be. Your heart will tell you when and if you need to let go. You just have to resist being anxious about loneliness.

I can say that there is one person in my life right now that supports me totally and I him. We talk everyday, pray everyday, and work out our issues everyday with one another in the most honest, forthright, and transparent ways I have ever experienced. We do all of this over Skype, because he is in another country.

When I think of this, I have to laugh. I would have never imagined developing a prayer partner/friendship with someone so far away. But, the truth is, Spirit can take us anywhere to develop that kind of relationship. When you connect on a spiritual and mental level, you do not need the body to be in close proximity to communicate and pray.

I have a myriad of people around me, and Spirit has nurtured a friendship on Skype with someone from Ireland that I can depend upon to be my rock. This is actually a miracle. I thank God for him everyday. I actually look forward to our time together, because I know I will feel better every day after we speak and pray. This is the beauty of looking for, searching for, and being open to a special someone with whom to share your heart and develop spiritually.

We all need to have this kind of relationship. In fact, I’m wondering how I lasted this long without a prayer partner.

Going forward, look at the five closest people and ask yourself if they are nurturing your life. If they aren’t, begin to side step them out of your life to make room for people who can undergird you and support your spiritual growth.
