Why bother going deep inside to those lonely, beaten, threadbare parts? Isn’t it better to leave well-enough alone? Bury them? Ignore them? Yes, we know they’re there, but why stir up the pain? Some people seem to be afraid of becoming overwhelmed; others, men especially, speak of these parts as though they are weak andContinue reading “Hooking Up with All of Me”

Welcoming, Loving and Trusting my Inner System
Once I was able to access my Self, my true essence (the topic of my last blog, “In Relationship with My SELF”), I was able to respond to the hurt and damaged parts of my inner system. Yes, these are the parts we often try to cut off and out. We bury them, consider themContinue reading “Welcoming, Loving and Trusting my Inner System”
In Relationship With My SELF
To begin with mySelf is the only way to start. Who can I know best? Myself. I know my mind, my body and my soul. No one else knows me like I can come to know myself. And it is a journey, an exploration into all the facets of my being. It scares me, butContinue reading “In Relationship With My SELF”
Giving Life to my DREAMS
I have too much and too little to say. So much that it’s difficult to organize; so little, that I question its importance. How can so much become so little? It shrinks between my brain, my fingers and the page; weeding ideas isn’t a fluid motion; it is choppy, sloppy and sometimes, fruitless–as it hasContinue reading “Giving Life to my DREAMS”
All Apologies
Should I or should I not? Apologize…? I am a person who usually apologizes. I also, however, do it way too often. Do I even mean it? I started to think about this as I opened my mouth…sometimes yes and sometimes no. Then my mind begins to wander…what do others do? Well, it seems someContinue reading “All Apologies”
Humanity Disclosed
Humanity. What does it mean to you? Who are we as humans? This is the one thing we all have in common and yet, I believe, we often strip each other of that right…yes, the right to be human. We often expect perfection of ourselves and we unwittingly expect it of others also. Are weContinue reading “Humanity Disclosed”
Losing Our Humanity
What does it take to write a blog and keep it up? Ideas and an audience…if you’re missing one of these, it just doesn’t happen! Let’s start with ideas…easy at first, but then they wane…and not only the ability to create ideas but also the sense of making them interesting…will people get inspired? Is thereContinue reading “Losing Our Humanity”

Multiplicity and MySelf
I have multiple parts. These parts engage with mySelf and others as I proceed through my days. What do I mean? Well, for example, I have a 2 yr old part who feels abandoned, guilty and lost in a world without connection. This was her experience when she was 2. She got stuck there andContinue reading “Multiplicity and MySelf”
Full Force in the Wilderness
It is a wise human that recognizes truth comes in many forms and perspectives. It is a dull one who experiences their own truth as the only way. Judgment, lies, hate. I like people who allow others to make mistakes. I like people who can admit that they are wrong. I also like people whoContinue reading “Full Force in the Wilderness”
