Interesting Observation

So, it seems similar issues exist in gay and heterosexual relationships. I was at a meeting the other night where a recommendation for a popular, budget-approved improvement was being presented by a member of the specially-appointed interior committee. Mind you this member/man has been working on the project for months! Suddenly, his partner starts talking, emphatically stating that this particular improvement is not necessary, and it's a waste of money.

I sat there mystified for a moment and shocked by what seemed to be betrayal and sabotage by this guy's partner. It was really obvious how oblivious he was to undercutting.

Unquestionably, it brought back memories of my long-term relationship. I left the meeting with much empathy for the presenter, who may have brushed the offense off with a shrug, and a huge sigh of relief for myself that I no longer have to deal with that, a partner or anyone else who is disloyal and who works to diminish my efforts and value. 

Reference again "Cumulative Erosion.”

Political Climate And Wellbeing

As the absurdity in Washington D.C. accelerates, it's incumbent upon us individually to figure out, step by step, how to stay stable and sane. With the mayhem, flagrant disregard of laws and justice, life as we have known it is cumulatively changing. 

Anxiety is way up due to post election stress. So is the use of anti-depressants. In my experience from years of acrimonious divorce proceedings similar to this damaging disorder, pills are not the answer; rather, choosing a spiritual life of consciousness and developing a plan for core building are necessary to weather whatever external storm/seeming instability there is. Because if a center of unflappable strength is developed within, there will ultimately be equanimity and stability.

I know this one. I am fully prepared for what's happening. 

Pregnant With Possibilities

So then the question is "What wants to be born?”

Moving Forward

As I move forward finishing the story and flinging open the golden doors of possibilities, it's really important to feel energized emotionally and physically. So, happy to note that my 2 last acupuncture treatments, especially targeting the heart and spirit, are holding with a buoyant effect. No question, I need the extra support.

Finish It

On the heels of clarity, when I woke up, I heard these 2 words. So, finish it, I will! The story must be completed.

Clarity

I seek clarity. Always! When I have it/the truth for me, I feel liberated, exhilarated and energized. At times, I've gained this through major, enormously painful, necessary passages. Hopefully, this last one, in developing and deepening my experience and understanding of birth family, is The End!  Time to learn through joy.

Grist For The Mill 2

Another interpretation - magnificent consent?

Shackles of Losses

I created a series of works on this in 2011. At the end, the title was streamlined to shackles, which ultimately represented my process of releasing different emotions, attachments and long-standing stuff. Still relevant today as the process continues.
