Love and Light: Beyond my own words...

Beyond my own words...

Layer by Layer I remove all I thought

I was

all I thought I had to be

and

in the moment

I was left standing

naked

and vulnerable

without identities and labels

I remembered

I AM

THAT

I AM

a critical spirit...
what have you been removing my lovelies?

I've removed a very toxic person from my life
Sadly it took to have this person removed from my life (whilst I was desperately trying to keep them in my life) to realize just how toxic they were ;'(
I grieve the loss of a friend
I celebrate re finding me

I'm learning to let go of so many things, at least this is what I am working on. I find myself picking up the same old baggage from time to time. It's a process, I guess.

I feel I don't have the energy for things I have dealt with in the past - like toxic people and needing the approval of others.

Learning to live by: "how someone treats me is their karma. how i react is mine."

Absolutely love the quote!!!

Well, working with the public all day, is not always easy. I try to remove judgement, and replace it with compassion. I'm loving the quote that Miss Sixpence shared...i think that will be my new mantra! You've got quite a tribe of true lovelies, I must say! :-)

Ahhhh...what a beautiful image. I'm trying to remove a feeling of being stuck. Stuck in fear, boredom, tedium? not sure, but I don't seem to be moving forward....spinning my wheels is getting old. Would like to see positive results in my life soon - but I need to realize this takes action on my part !!
peace

"The world will know and understand me someday. but if that day does not arrive, it does not greatly matter. I shall have opened the way for other women." ~George Sands

"I have a new command for you. As I have loved you, so you must love others. "~Jesus

"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul...you have a heart." ~C.S. Lewis

"Humankind has not woven the web of Life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. all things are bound together. all things connected." ~Chief Seattle, 1854

If ever there comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known."~ Matthew Arnold

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”~ Buddha

"The world will be saved by the Western woman....Some people will call me a feminist...but we need more effort to promote basic human values-human compassion, human affection. And in that respect, females have more sensitivity for others' pain and suffering." ~Dalai Lama

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." ~Anatole France

Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a feild. I'll meet you there. ~Rumi

"Those who seem to know more truth than you simply reflect the part of you that has forgotten. They are your touchstones to remember." ~Alan Cohen

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another;unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, resent, and the future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." ~Anais Nin

"Process is more important than outcome. when the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we've already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we're going, but we will know we want to be there." ~ Bruce Mau
