Spring?

Here in Minnesota it sure feels like spring, an awakening in time, a freshening of spirit, a moment of bliss.

Love Spring!

Bless you all!

Joy does come to the world

Lily is a Great Dane that has been blind since a bizarre medical condition required

that she have both eyes removed. For the last 5 years, Maddison, another Great Dane,

has been her sight. The two are, of course, inseparable.

Question;            Should men be given the right to vote!

Oh, no, man is made for something higher and better than voting…The trouble is that if men start to vote, they will vote too much. Politics unsettle men and unsettled men means unsettled bills, broken furniture, broken vows, and divorce. Men’s place is on the farm….if men were to get the vote, who knows what would happen? It’s hard enough to keep them home now!

Nuturing our center

We are all wonderful women.  We all have human emotions, needs, desires that sometimes overwhelm us, our breath catches in our throat, our mind freezes, and we seem stuck in that one time that connects us with an overwhelming obsession.  We can forget healthy attitudes, forget common sense, and just single mindlessly go forth and sabotage our soul.

We do this for many reasons, the effects of child hood dysfunction, adult issues, illness, sadness.  We forget our center, forget our spirits purpose., make that call we knew we should not, say those words, eat that food, have that next drink.

And then, we possibly live with regret, self recrimination, and not move forward, we can spend time doing a wallow dance of pain, even make that wallow our comfortable place to live.

So, how can we change this process, this perpetuating cycle of self-abuse?  Can we take small steps?  Teach ourselves what is important?

So if we look at our lives…what cycle are we in, (if any) that hurts our soul?  Lets look at this, and decide what pain we can let go of, and where we can grow.

Lets  use our worries as growth, as lessons, and learn to nurture the world we contain within ourselves?
