I didn’t rail against society and its conventional standards. I longed to be seen as ‘normal’. My valiant attempts to ‘change’ and be like ‘them’ never worked.
I stood out.
I stood apart.
I wasn’t unpopular – I just never fit in.
Fitting in didn’t feel like a good fit.
Then you went on your merry way racking your brain, repeating the question over and over, arriving with a slew of possible answers, not knowing which might be correct?
Add that question to your list of unanswered questions or questions to be asked at a later date.
The act of letting go of an addiction … self-love at its finest.
Letting go of an unhealthy relationship … again, self- love and deep love for the person you are releasing.
However, in my experience the greatest act of letting go is mustering up the strength, putting on a brave face and encouraging our loved one to let go, so they may become free from disease, decline, and suffering. We gather round, our hearts aching, and hold the space in which they will transition to their new life, assuring them they are free to discard their bodies and fly high.
While we are on the subject of listening, I just have to share my thoughts on a subject near and dear to my heart – my mother, Leah.
Do you remember those lyrics from the 1988 song; The Living Years*?
You’ve most likely heard that song a hundred times or more – but did you actually listen to it?
Is it truly that simple? I think not, as we are complex creatures with a will of our own. And we get to choose how we nourish our body, mind and spirit.
The question is – are you nourishing anger, irritability and fear or are you nourishing sensibility and love?
Life after life.
Beginnings.
Ends.
And in-betweens.
To love thyself… truly, madly, deeply love thyself, one has to place oneself above all else.
It is the ‘forgotten factor’ in happiness research, according to some.

Is it really that simple? For the most part, yes it is! It’s all up to you – really. If you believe – you will receive.
