I have been reading your blog from the beginning also. I have to tell you, there is something about your profile photo that I just love! You look so kind. <BR/><BR/>What you said about how you used to have the same fears in your marriage, but they went away -- how? Did you eventually stop thinking about them? Accept them as reality? Dismiss them because they weren't real? Tell me more. <BR/><BR/>Hugs to you and hope tomorrow is easier. We all deserve a little reprieve, I think!Averilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868071382958852556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-8034080578711337262008-11-06T11:46:00.000+11:002008-11-06T11:46:00.000+11:00I really love the way you expressed yourself - sou...I really love the way you expressed yourself - sounds like we are all going through the same thing!<BR/>Peace--EllieELLIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928357017679223795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-35486458869998323522008-11-06T11:30:00.000+11:002008-11-06T11:30:00.000+11:00You can call the divine, God, Gods, Goddess, Unive...You can call the divine, God, Gods, Goddess, Universe, the Elements, Mickey Mouse...

So many of us suffer from that kind of struggle. For me to say it out loud often brings me to tears of shame and disbelief. Who teaches us that we are lacking? Where is it that we get the feeling that we are not enough? What is it that we can not be at peace with our own godliness?<BR/><BR/>Let's push through to the other side of this energy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-44020411757217497462008-11-06T09:20:00.000+11:002008-11-06T09:20:00.000+11:00It hard to work though fears or least I find them ...It hard to work though fears or least I find them hard.<BR/><BR/>Then in lot of area I'm confuse.<BR/><BR/>So when it comes to fear and confusing I'm lost.<BR/><BR/>Coffee is on.peppylady (Dora)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01649272822470007714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-58593221683382200592008-11-06T07:55:00.000+11:002008-11-06T07:55:00.000+11:00I am glad I'm not the only person who forgot the a...I am glad I'm not the only person who forgot the affirmation today! Maybe it had something to do with the affirmation itself. It's too hard to believe, so we subconciously forget it? <BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about "It's too hard" and just wanting to give up. I went through the same thing today. Congratulations for continuing your journey!

You inspire me alot. I so appreciate the honesty in you - and it is hard! Good for you for pushing through it today and seeing where it took you. Tears are good, aren't they? Something must have been released inside there, freed up, undammed.<BR/><BR/>I resonate with the "it's too hard" Sometimes I feel that way about life itself. So I hear you sister. I've got nothing wise to say, just that I hear you.<BR/><BR/>I love that you meld Jesus in with your other beliefs. That you honor whatever you feel pulled towards. I have the personal belief that it's all too big for us to understand, so that all the words icons prayers and beliefs are just pointers, all pointing to the exact same unnameable thing - so I tend to freely mix and match what calls to my spirit, like you. People may get bent out of shape (and I certainly never try to offend anyone's beliefs) but ultimately you don't have to "explain" yourself - you too are part of the inexplicable mystery!<BR/>Thanks for the honest and thought provoking post. This is my long comment on your long post ... is the comment longer than the post itself?

I use God because it sounds familiar and has a comforting feel for me. But when I use it, I feel like I have to explain to those who use other terms.."<BR/>First of all, you own NO ONE an explanation. No one.<BR/><BR/>Second, we all resist change, it is the nature of the ego. Your ego is fighting for control of who you are. There is no shame in that. As long as you remain 'aware' and can sit with it until it passes you will come out the other side a brilliant butterfly!! <BR/><BR/>Hang in there, your soul is worth it.

Be gentle with yourself and remember, baby steps. I'm so glad that you're not going to let the ego win out here.<BR/><BR/>I was raised Roman Catholic until my early teens when I started to question the hypocrisies I saw in my religion. Since then, I have always leaned towards metaphysical, spiritual beliefs where there is no judgement or condemnation...only pure love. I use the Creator, God, Goddess, Higher Self etc...but, really, they are just different names for the same thing so don't feel guilty. <BR/><BR/>I read about the historical facts of Mary in the DaVinci code....whilst it was a fictional storyline, apparently, the facts in the book were very real. <BR/><BR/>Love, light and peace ~Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-14295699536098961182008-11-05T19:59:00.000+11:002008-11-05T19:59:00.000+11:00Good for you for working through all that energy. ...Good for you for working through all that energy. Sometimes our soul is so clogged up our mind cannot process it and a good "boo hoo" is exactly what we need. Sometimes I feel that way, all choked up, and I will put on a good tear jerker, so I have an excuse just to cry it out.<BR/><BR/>Good for you for going for a walk! I was supposed to go for a walk everyday, and I came to work and we are understaffed so I don't get a break. (I sit for 11 hours a day answering 911 and dispatching police and fire) I am soooo bummed!<BR/><BR/>And to go for a walk in Leura!!! You're breaking my heart!!! I took my 2 kids to Australia almost 3 years ago and visited the Blue Mountains for 2 days. You live in a paradise!<BR/>ShannanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
