Change, nostalgia, feeling left behind

I feel kind of sad that some part of me is going to go away... of course it's not really me, but it's something that's been with me all my life.. and sometimes I even feel sad for this poor little body that one day, it will be no more ... just now I cried because I was thinking about these things..

I guess it's attachment to the body and the body-mind. But there's a sadness there.... I guess I'll just be with my feelings and not reject them in any way.. lately I've been knowing that I want to invite absolute surrender, again and again.. just when the thought of it comes to me.. surrender to all of this that I don't really know or understand.. surrender to all my dreams and wishes of the heart and in this, surrendering to all that is. There's such deep beauty and vulnerability


If you have ever been the only one in a large group, say a class in high school, to defend someone or something that you know is wrong, then you are what we consider a hero. Standing up for what you believe in at all times is not only one of the most admirable traits a person can possess, but is also ultimately one of the most self fulfilling ones. Standing up for what you believe in requires a great amount of courage first and foremost, but also requires a person to be knowledgeable on the subject that they are standing up for.

Many times when we may be standing up for a belief, idea or opinion the belief we share may not be the most popular belief and will require us to be relentless in our approach, unwavering despite whatever the consequences may be. Doing what's right requires a person with a strong heart, so if you know you will compromise easily with your opposition, you may not want to try. Remember to always go with your gut, when you see something that you feel is absolutely wrong, do what your conscience is telling you that you should do, you never know who or what you may be helping!

Sharing ideas and a video about how people are in our lives for a reason, season or lifetime.

When I decided to write my book I found the process challenging and therapeutic. When I went back over the time-lines in my life I went through some stages of grief that I had not worked through when I was in the circumstances. It is never easy to say goodbye, or accept that there are people in our lives for a reason, season or lifetime.


I've Been There is a testimony of hope because it shows that even thought we all undergo hardships, breakups, and narcissistic wounds, which shatter the flattering image that we had of ourselves. The process is positive in the end because it assists us in in discovering that often we and those we love are not who we thought and the loss of a cherished pleasure is not necessarily the loss of true happiness and well-being. The reasons and season relationships are often more frequent than the lifetime ones and this video serves as a wonderful reminder of that reality.
