Quote of the Day: Where You Invest Your Love

"Where you invest your love, you invest your life"

Quote of the Day: Love

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow,  a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them. —  Brené Brown

Soulmate: Chris Weatherall

Chris, you are my best friend. We spend so much time together you sometimes ask me if I am getting sick of you, but the answer is no... I will never get sick of you. I love you more than I thought I could ever love a man. You are my soulmate. I will never let you go...

My soulmate: Chris Weatherall
<3 forever and ever....

A Love Letter - For Chris

I text: “I love you”

He responded: “I love us… we can be the perfect couple when we want to be”

All these years, you have been there for me

My friend

My partner in crime

My lover

My business partner

My shoulder to cry on

My teacher

My buddy

My boyfriend

I always knew I loved you. But, when I fell, I fell hard. When it happened, it really happened.

It’s crazy how it feels old, but its new. It feels like forever, but that forever has already happened and now we are starting over. 

My love is deep. But it’s hard. 

Not hard to be with you, hard to be without you.

But, our lives are crazy. We are so busy. It’s so complicated. 

But everything still feels right. It feels like everything will always be okay, from now on, as long as I have you.

It’s crazy how I feel for you.

Our love, what we have, it makes everything from my past feel like a big blur. 

It’s like I was lost in the forest or something… and you finally found me and brought me home.

It’s like finally getting to that place you have been searching for… but when you get there you realize that you have always been there in your head. 

The difference now is just that your heart finally found its place.

My heart found its place with you and I am happy. 

I am in love... with you...

Quote of the Day

Our notions about happiness entrap us. We forget that they are just ideas. Our idea of happiness can prevent us from actually being happy. We fail to see the opportunity for joy that is right in front of us when we are caught in a belief that happiness should take a particular form.
- Thich Nhat Hanh

Beautiful stuff...

Love One Another....

I just read this quote on twitter:

LoriMoreno

I just love life. I mean, you know, I love every second of it. I love people. ~Richard Branson #quote

Made me think. Why don`t more people love each other? It`s like every time I talk to someone it`s about who they hate, what their stupid ___________ <----- insert boss, spouse, friend, co-worker, even children did... I hear people talk more fondly about their dog than they do about their own husband!

Anyways, I think we should all just try and love each other a little more and STOP HATE. Everyone is having a hard time, everyone is going through something, everyone makes mistakes.... everyone needs love.

If one thing good came out of the Bible it was this quote, Jesus says, this is my new commandment, "Love one another"... My Aunt Jan and I sang this song at my Grandpas funeral...

Whether you believe in religion, karma, the pull of the universe or even just hate watching the news because of the hurt and hate... then you know this: People need people. The world needs more love and less hate. Peace starts with US!

I believe in a new Earth... do you? Join with me, spread the word:

LOVE EACH OTHER 

I think John Lennon said it best when he wrote Imagine:

"You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one..."

"The Way That I Love You" - ASHANTI LYRICS

After all of the times that we tried,
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made,
I Know Now you don't love me the same

The way that I love
The way that I love
The way that I love

I woke up kinda early today, and something told me from that moment it wouldn't be the same
Felt like you were hidin' something, but I didn't push it,
I didn't complain or say nothing
I tried to act like I didn't see it,
'cause deep down I know I didn't wanna believe it
There it was, it was you and her,
you left your sidekick on the night stand and I read

Everything you did and everything you said,
now I'm standin' here lookin' like damn
I thought it was you and I,
now all I gotta say is why

The way that I love

I noticed now that when I'm around, you be tryin' to lock the door, whispering on the phone
Now wait a minute,
since we been in this house you ain't never did this before, tell me what's this about..
(What's this about)
I tried to sit and say to myself,
this here is too good, he don't want nothin' else

There it was, it was you and her,
you left the credit card receipt inside the beamer with

Everything you bought
And everything you spent, now I'm standing here
once again I thought it was you and I,
now all I have to say is why

The way that I love

Oh Oh
You lied
You lied
Oh why
Why
Yes
Why'd you have to lie to me
Why'd you have to lie to me
Why'd you have to lie to me
Why, why, why, why
You lied, you lied, you lied
We made, we made, we made
Oh

For Tatiana

It`s the same old story, but this time it`s your turn to play the lead
I know it can be hard, sad, difficult to understand
But I know I can nod and sympathize
Because once too I was brokenhearted because of a man

I have changed quite a bit from who I used to be
Some people say people don`t really change, but I believe they do
I am not the me I used to be
And I don`t see you as the you I once met a long time ago

That`s okay, that`s good really, because it shows progression
I can`t judge, I can only reflect on my own life lessons
It`s just I see it differently now, life
And I wish someone once would have told me these things and saved me the heartache of learning them all the hard way:

Just like you look forward to the future with optimism and a positive energy
It`s important to reflect on your past with the same enthusiastic grace...

If you hold anger, resentment, hostility, blame, jealousy and revenge in your heart, the only person you are hurting is you.
Do you want to want to live in pain accepted by your own heart?
Or, live in joy and peace, realized by overcoming and letting go...?

The questions, old and new, don`t always have definite answers, they are just unknowns. If you are seeking the answers, stop, breath, release, open your heart, mind, soul... life will pour into you, purpose will be reflected in everything you do.

The universe has to balance thought with action... remember to create positive actions, putting them in motion mentally first. Use each "obstacle" as an opportunity to prove how strong you are, how resilient you are, how beautiful, powerful, compassionate, understanding, deep, passionate, giving... how open minded you are!

You have the choice to make good choices! Everything isn`t that complicated. When life seems overwhelming, remember:
no matter what you believe in, God, Buddha, The Universe, Mother Nature.... the true principals remain in tact. Call it faith, the secret, physics... it`s all the same. The power, the truth, is within us ALL! We were all created equally, we all have been given the same opportunities. Life leads us all down a unique path, but we aren`t alone. We have support when we turn and desperately seek it. We have pain when we plead for happiness in a desperate time and our heart cracks open to be filled time and time again. But, the universe/God/nature provides a way for us all.

Don`t forget to stop and look into your own heart. No one, nothing, will ever make more sense, will ever answer more questions, will ever add more clarity, will ever bring you more peace... then when your desperately seeking, questioning mind, slows and connects with the rhythm of your heart.

My favorite quote:

beg you.... to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don`t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is, to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer...

Perfect Imperfection

The dream mixes with reality
Night becomes day, or is it night again?
Blended breathing, colors
Concentration, wanting, without wanting
Deep, intense lust and love
A thought, never ending
Words never ceasing
Understanding, expressing
Creativity, abundance
Stretching, pushing... pulling
Reality giving way for interpretation
Questions instead of answers
Asking... asking, telling, acknowledging
Comprehension, a spellbinding wavelength
Significance, not arrogance
Writing, singing, dancing
Hearts beat in unison
Feeling, breathing, touching
Open mindedness
Comfort
Peace
Giving in, not giving up
Eternally grateful
Ironic expressions, amused and the amusing, the "amuser"
Perfect imperfection
A blessed interaction, a soul meeting
A planned encounter
The ideal destiny
Capable contemplation
The story ends... for tonight

Namaste

A cool breeze chills the air
It`s October finally
I close my eyes and take deep breaths
The crisp air fills my lungs
I breathe in forgiveness, out revenge...
In clarity and peace, out chaos
In reverence and gratitude, out selfish desires
Today I practice yoga
Today I make a conscious choice
Today I am whole, strong, aware, present
Today I am love
I do not feel joy, I am joy
I can not feel consciousness, I am consciousness

I bow my head to you
I bow my head to my heart where I know peace resides

Oooommmmm...Oooommmmm...Oooommmmmm...

I know when I am in that place in me and you are in that place in you, there is only one of us.

Namaste
