I love this expression and feel forever changed by this addition to my spiritual vocabulary.
Money is a tool. A flow of paper. There is an abundance of it in the world. We use it all the time to buy what we need, what we want, what we enjoy, what services we would like to have provided for us.
We are worthy of money. Money is an expression of production and of love. When someone expends energy to acquire money and they are willing to give it to us in exchange for something else, it is love tha… Continue
Just a couple of days ago I was nailing my own coffin. I don't know how it happened but I began to experience signs of major depression. I was weak, nauseous, my head was hurting, my eyes were spilling tears. I was suffering feeling alone surrounded by my demons with only myself as an enemy to turn to for help. I was angry and delicate, dark, ready to shatter. In my confusion I turned to a dear friend nearly abusing his love for me by pushing my anger on to him. In this moment I don't even know… Continue

Here are just of the few things that I have learned about in the last 24 hours that I wanted to share with all of you
This is a NYTimes article about the newest 'trend' in co-housing. A kind of urban communing:

We teach each other how to be unhappy. We teach each other how to use caution and to believe that we have no right to be happy. We believe we are not smart enough. We believe we are not beautiful enough. We encounter something new and what do most of us do?
As children we were naturally inclined to investigate, to walk through fire because it was exciting and the adults around us said "No! Don't do that you'll break your neck!"
We use rationalization to hold us back from acting. Why am I afrai… Continue
I did this in response to one that Brian had posted on his Myspace page. I invite you to add a line in my comment page. FILL THIS SPACE WITH GRATITUDE. I DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Thank You Prayer
Thank you for my eyesight

Thank you for how exhilarating danger feels
Thank you for chocolate

For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity.

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

When I went to visit (here on the site) our newest member who lives in Ireland I started to consider the world and how we are uniting people throughout with love on this site. And it got me to thinking about what I see come out of this online community,
I don't see it remaining confined in virtual spaces. Have you lately thought about how whatever it is you type on your keyboard and onto a "page" on this site for everyone to see you are indeed sharing with the world? Have you ever considered ho… Continue
In the coming months I'm going to be working with a growing number of local women to support them and ask them to support me in various business ventures. A website is being erected for me as we speak ... I'll be linking in all the endeavors I'm working on (there are many ,,,,, and I'm not getting far enough inside of any one of them .... hence the need and desire to network.) I'm hoping to be linking this community to that website. The webmaster is Shawn King ... so of course I'll be consulting… Continue
Think of me as Amazon used books only better. Send me a note regarding the one or ones you want with your name and mailing address and I will send it to you within a few days. I'll send you an email with my paypal account information and the cost after I've shipped it.

Today a CC friend's words really sunk in: when you let go, it will come. What I think he means is that when you allow the universe to provide, something magical happens. Events fall into place, people start calling you out of no where, people offer you jobs. Life is the sweetest gig going.
There is no amount of worrying. No amount of pain. There is no amount of suffering that can lead happiness and success and love and good fortune into your life. But when you let go and close your eyes and use… Continue
I currently live in a world where people don't trust me. Nor do they trust themselves. And as a result none of us learn how to trust.
I see this non-trust at play all around me; I see it as my own shadow. Perhaps we are yelling at and to each other: "I'm tired of being nobody! I *am* incredible! And the reason I know that is because I know how lousy my fellow beings can be! They don't love me! They don't support me! They lie to me! They get in the way of my success!"
But what we fail to unders… Continue
I have the unique privilege of being a regional representative of a wordwide writing organization called The International Women's Writing Guild.
This is their website.
http://www.iwwg.com
Some of the most amazing women I know have come to me through this organization but certainly not all the women in my life who I consider outstanding examples of women who are mighty, beautiful, caring, genius, daring, outrageous or any other quality I admirable in womwn.
This (see below) came to me today… Continue

While it is true that the body is a mere host for the soul, it still remains a representation of you as a human being. I am finding that I don't connect very well with these silouetted generic male and female images. That is not to say that I don't give and take, accept and receive the loving energy that I've been exchanging with people on here who have chosen to remain faceless words but I find that without a representational image I feel disconnected. I have to look back at what we have said t… Continue
There was a time not that long ago (I don't know when - time matters not) when people sang and proclaimed that in order to live life
in the best manner possible you have to live as if today is the last day of your life; tomorrow is not guaranteed. I thought they were insane. I thought that they were dillusional. I'd scream at them saying they were born rich so how could they know what it's like to be poor and to suffer? or I'd blame society for making me a woman because I was automatically 'the… Continue
Embracing the Unknown
Moment by Moment
Or Blind with no
Ordinary
What is so special about you?
Do I hunt or does the hunt
hunt me?
See the gorilla in the window
in the rain
forrest
Did the tree fall
if no one bore witness
to its falling?
Must we lie to one
another
must we pretend
Must we be
what you say I must be?
Play the drum dance the jam
light my body on fire in the heat
of the sweat of the twist of the
grind of the spin of the curve
of my spine.
Give it to me
exactly as it lies

I'm not afraid to talk about the union between man and woman, woman and woman, man and man, or hell I don't judge even between more than three or four people in whatever weave they make together. What I'm talking about is that part of my life that has defined me in a way no other part of myself ever could: libido.
Can I just say that I raise my glass to a more loving people telling the kinds of messages and stories and living the kinds of lives that Jason Mraz writes and sings about. He is such… Continue

I love Michael Beckwith. He is a kind, gentle, and loving spirit.
My heart is heavy tonight. My young family is dying off and they seem too young to be leaving the Earth. Life has been a dark place for may of them and that is one of my biggest reasons for the choice I make every day to be a happier and more balanced human being.
I dedicate this beautful video to those in my family and to those around the world who suffer and who have been under the misconcepion that suffering is the only way t… Continue
