"At a certain point, we forgive because we decide to forgive. Healing occurs in the present, not the past. We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present."~ Marianne Williamson
My paradigm is out of wack. Normally I am a light of love and grace. A fool who doesn't care what is going on around her because I know my mission and purpose.
Recently I slipped into victim consciousness. Feels like the world is full of nastiness preparing to just take me down. Oh, well maybe it is. The question is will I buy into those thoughts or will I return to my strength and empowerment of greeting hardship with a smile and a patient hello.

"People ask what must they become to be loving. The answer is 'nothing.'
It is a process of letting go of what you thought you had become and allowing your true nature to float to the surface naturally." ~Stephen Levine
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. ~Denis Waitley

You are the empowerment of embracing hardship with a smile, you are the beacon of light in a dark world, you are strength and love. I see it in all you say and do and your light encompasses all of us here on DS. Sharon

Sometimes you have to re-connect with your own dark side.
You aren't all light and grace. You are an actual human being.
Deep inside, you are killing millions of God's own bacteria and viruses every second. Closer to the surface you are aware of the nastiness that would take you down. It really is out there, and it really could take you down. And it is in your own nature as well.
Victim consciousness, another story. Do you feel the nastiness is out to get YOU? It isn't, it doesn't care about you any more than the rain cares to get you wet. Do you feel helpless? You aren't. You haven't survived all these years by accident. Do you feel innocent? You aren't. You are part of it.
Take it on. Get down there and fight.
And when it is time for your light and love and grace to shine through again, it will. Because that is the part that matters most. It is who you are.
Now go kick a puppy.

Well, the laundry is done and almost put away. the house is relatively clean, the dishes done, the business task list up to par.........I'm starting to conquer this world.
An old friend called from out of the blue and wants to get together and I am entertaining my son's friend and his parent for a playdate.
I'll crawl out of this darkness yet and when I do I hope I am stronger and more focused to transcend what was and create what I came to this world for...........

I have been joining you in this undercurrent of unease. I am not quite able to put my finger on what is going on. I am more aware of unrest than anything else. I have started reading some books on understanding how our thoughts influence our feelings. It is opening up some areas I really would rather not explore. but they are important to the next step in my journey..Big hugs... am happy for all you have accomplished..

Not only am I reading but I also listen to internet radio, podcasts and video lectures. There is such an abundance of material to sift through these days. If we have questions the answers exsist out there. IF only we had more time.

sometimes I feel like Chicken Little, I'm at peace, I am alone, no real Drama, nothing much at all. BUT THE WORLD IS, IS, definitely IS, falling apart around me. But I'm so far in a protective bubble, me and my MS. I guess when the timing is right, it'll be me, my MS & a Ms

Larry, the sky is NOT FALLING. It feels like it is....but it isn't. We can waste our time fearing it..........or we can shift our thinking towards something more productive. Hard to do at the moment....but it ain't impossible!

the sky is falling all around me, not my sky, I got an umbrella, but everyone I talk to must be part of the 9%, they're Out of a Job and not sick enough to be on disability. Tell them the sky isn't falling.
The houses I'm looking at, tell all them that their sky isn't falling, Foreclosures, Short Sells, this area has been hard hit. Tell them all is peachy.
I'm fine, my world is wonderful. Solitary, but wonderful. I should never have financial issues again. I just may never have anyone to share my free spousal medical coverage and million
