A repost that circled up worthy of resharing. Thank you for this post. I woke this morning and sent my thanks to the many men celebrating today. Since I have been in deep healing mode for the last 4 months, I am getting better at catching my mind and body when feeling a deep emotion. Normally, I would push the thoughts down and distract myself, saying that it isnt a big deal...the past is the past, but now I am paying attention.
I felt a sadness as I remembered my father who was in and out of my life, struggling with addiction, he was often erratic and unstable to be with me. He died when I was 8 from an overdose which I did not learn about until I was 15. I had mourned a deep sadness at the loss of what I yearned for...a father.
Into my teens, there still was no stable male figure. They blew in with the wind and washed out with the tide. I learned how to fill the gaps in my longing heart, aching for a father to hold me and tell me everything was going to be alright. The security of strong, loving arms was an elusive dream that haunted me without knowing what I was missing on a concious level. Hidden within was always the seeking, the wonder and the hunt to fill that void unbeknownst to myself. I searched in friends, other families and with lovers.
On Father's Day today, a different kind of understanding came to me. One of kindness replacing the anger I had towards my dad for not being whole. Holding compassion for my inner self that was never tenderly held and given forehead kisses before bed. I sooth my heart with loving kindness and extend this to anyone who also feels this longing or pain. Much love from my heart to yours.
Tonight Sat 6/15th at I am grateful for this opportunity to perform some spoken word for among many beautifully soulful and talented individuals.
Come support us while enjoying a splendid evening at the š“s.
Because love at first sight is just chemicals that dissipate and fade over time. Pheromones that say you smell like a match and also important, a partner that matches your patterning, intended to mirror what needs to be examined for our growth.
True love is in the longevity, doing the work together, managing the storms that will surely come, and the ability to hold onto each other through it all without destroying one another. To grow WITH each other, building memories, feeding each other and the fire that was once there....at first sight.
If we could only have world peace....Although I can not control the outcome of the world, I can contribute by starting with me. We can all start with us. Molecule by molecule, we can tap into the collective and build. Set intentions, prayer, meditate and vibrate love and do big things or little, just do something!
Good times with this kiddos.
The time I was a baby unicorn!

Equality. What is often overlooked is the heights from which one has climbed, the holes from which someone has had to climb out of, what traumas, prejudices, conditioned roles, hurdles of so many to mention to get to to any consideration of a level playing field...and that's before the work has even begun. Before the class has started, the interview has been scheduled, the song was sung, the book was written and on and on.
And unrealistic expectations wrapped in demands, lack of compassion, patience, self awareness and willingness to be accountable while doing the work to show up ready to love anyone, let alone themselves!
But it doesn't have to be that way. A lil work each day, baby steps and healing our own insecurities and unhealthy patterns, will open us up to a whole new way of loving and being loved!

With two cats on each side and loving the hell outta it. I actually have a deep appreciation for my own space more than I have in the past. I guess I have finally learned how to not be lonely in being alone anymore for the first time in my life for REAL and not just what I tried to tell myself when between romantic partnerships over decades of being in codependent relational dynamics. I guess all that self reflection and healing work is paying off!
A pang to the heart this morning followed by grattitude for the 8 years I got to share with my pup pup and her bestie Milo for whom I still hold out hope for his one day return.

Today's reminder.
Thank you for this share, . A great reminder!
l've been guilty of this at times. Expecting "me" from others and then being disappointed, sad or bitter when they didn't come through the way I thought they āshould.ā Iād think, I would have said, doneā¦ xyz, why didn't they? It's such a recipe for disaster. It not only hurts us but is unfair to them.
It's imperative to know what you want and are deserving of, but this is about something different. What's harmful is going through life with this unrealistic expectation that others think, feel, behaveā¦ in the exact same way that you do. Only You are you, and they can only offer you who They are. It's either enough, or it isn't.

Amazing fun at this here Drag Shoe celebrating Pride!!!!!!
We are all mirror reflections with the purpose of experiencing one another IN one another to learn, grow, and evolve. Can you imagine how different our lives could be if we all understood this principle? Let's try. #REPOST below @indigenous_daughter The LAW of THE MIRRORā£ You donāt know me, you imagine me. You only see in me what you are. If you see love in me, itās because there is love in you...ā£ ā£ If you see aggressiveness in me, itās because there is aggressiveness in you... If you admire a quality in me, itās because you also have that quality... If I seem foolish to you, we should analyze your behavior.ā£ ā£ If there is something in me that you hate, you are hating what is in you that you donāt like. Itās not surprising... I am a reflection that projects your reality. You only imagine me, I am your invention, and you will only see in me what you recognize in yourself.ā£ ā£ If you like what you see in me, donāt change it! But if you donāt like it... change it in yourself! As for me, I LOVE YOU, because you are the mirror I chose to OBSERVE and GROW.ā£ - Alejandro Jodorowsky.ā£ ā£ Video quote by Emily Maroutianā£ ā£ The world would be a better place if we took accountability for our own behaviors. Reflections with nature. ā£ ā£ Visit me in Peru @apuhealingcenter ā£ ā£ #SelfReflection #InnerHealing #MirrorEffect #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth

Oh, so excellent. Not to take away from some deep injustices, acts of violence in any form, including our micro situations to macro systemic actions, BUT even that, allows a perspective to support our human experiences and growth. Now, this has been a topic I was just discussing with my own therapist and realized how the ex-husband, friend, lover and even recently, a comolete stranger with whom I am struggling to let go of resentments, really has everything to do with my expectations, wound activations and the beauty in those folks mirroring for me what I need to heal. #REPOST THANK YOU @dgmindset. If you are holding on to it, you have the power to let go of it too. š„ @filmedbyrango #lifeismental #mindset #gratitude #motivation #consciousness #inspiration #perspective #goals #love #life #believe #life #positivevibes #quotes #peace #motivationalquotes #happiness #positivity #entrepreneur #athlete #loveyourself #yourself #bhfyp #instagram #happy #inspirationalquotes #business #quoteoftheday #consciousness #inspire #growth #bhfyp

For Women AND Men! So I'm working on my own edu-macation hee hee. This is mouthful! When we are tired of being sick and tired of ourselves and how we show up in relationships (because we need to be accountable for our own behavior) and when we tune in, do the work, and have boundaries that respect our heart and mind, the bullsh*t out there just feels, "ick". At my season of life, and from where I have come from and worked hard to grow to, I am on the side of the pendulum that says, "nope, no thank you" as my energy is more important than any crumbs and confusion or toxic BS someone could offer me in any kind of relationship. Its a practice of trial and error as I learn how to navigate this work. It will.for you too. It's made me a loner but the most content loner I have ever been! You deserve better, so cut the sh*t and get on board with this! #doingthework #relationalboundaries #energycurrency #idowhatiwant #noapologies #youareworthy
I'm working real hard people, REAL hard. Just don't push me too hard... Keep on to the end. #REPOST thank you @maegan_nat_77. I am in #recovery not #recovered so letās be #grateful for the #progress.
