Revisiting Forgiveness

I am revisiting forgiveness because it's on mind so often these days.  I am in want of some deep self-forgiveness. Writing about it helps immensely. Forgiveness always involves forgiving oneself. Forgiving oneself is often harder than forgiving someone else. "Just because it's hard doesn't make it bad." A wise friend once said that to me at a very challenging time in my life.  I hear her voice saying those words to me as if she were beside me right now. Is forgiveness always right? Only you can answer that question for you. But I would say that self-forgiveness is absolutely always right if you want to heal from a painful story.

Understanding and Accepting Bad Habits

If you are like most, you have had least one long standing bad habit that you have vowed to change unsuccessfully many times.

The cycle of continuing in a bad or problematic habit can feel endless, can create an internal environment of shame and guilt which leads to more of the bad habit.

In his book, The Wisdom on Insecurity, Alan Watts wrote: The question, "What shall we do about it?" is only asked by those who do not understand the problem. If a problem can be solved at all, to understand it and to know what to do about it are the same thing.

Do you understand your bad habit? Do you feel that you understand it enough to let it go? Did Watts mean that when we are unable to break a problematic habit, that we in fact don't truly understand it?

How Doodling Saved My Life

While taking a cartooning class I discovered doodling.

Doodling is the art of making simple drawings, based on whimsy (that alone appealed to me more than I can say).

I was taking the class for several reasons: I was feeling stuck and bored and wanted a time out from nightly television watching and poor dietary intake choices, I had severe writing block and hoped a visual technique would bring words back to the surface, I wasn't having much fun, and a friend had taken the class and I saw how she was using it to make changes in her own well-being.

Did it actually save my life? Maybe. It certainly influenced one essential component necessary for true happiness (the kind of happiness that comes from within, not from outside stuff, people, events...).

26 Precious Keys to Joy

Unlock the Field of Infinite Possibilities!

Deepak Chopra was my first teacher on intentionally creating a joyful life.

"Creating Affluence: The A-Z Steps to a Richer Life" led me to the Field of Infinite Possibilities, the field where I continually see my dreams and goals realized, where I find great joy.

I was inspired to find a way to keep my focus on my dreams and goals. The A-Z Alphabet Cards were developed to keep myself focused and on track. They worked, and continue to work, beautifully for me so I want to share them with you.

If you're ready to move into the Field of Infinite Possibilities (of hopes, dreams, goals, and great joy) then read on...
