w.o.w.~3 Lessons from my everyday happiness that will lead to my fantastic traveling {by sarah nean bruce}

by 6 Comments

for many people,
those 3 traveling lessons
in the Tiny Buddha article
might sound simpler and be easier
when they are not at home…
but ironically for me
{in my past travels
to incredible locales
with various people}
i haven’t entirely
been able to execute
these elementary exercises.
.
there was often
much expectation
and circumstance
and fear
injected and
imposed and
intertwined and
twisted
upon the situation and
the trip.

p.o.w.~desensitizing & minimizing fears

by 5 Comments

i think i used a form of this cognitive therapy ~ Exposure & Response Prevention ~
{its inception probably introduced by my marriage/divorce counselor}
with my fears {financial, relationship, creative, social} to start desensitizing myself in 2007.
and to this day, i look these phantoms in the face,
i don’t avoid them or
run from them or
become anxious by them.
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.~Virginia Woolf

30 November: course correction

by 4 Comments

“… The path of my life now is one that I had dreamt about, but hadn’t the courage to embark upon before. Interesting & good how the “be careful what you (dream) wish for” comes about. I hoped for a change in my tumultuous & topsy-turvy personal life in 2004 – even tho my showbiz career was booming – and the universe obliged me.

BONUS P.O.V. on W.O.W.~5 stages of {letting go and} forgiving

by 9 Comments

a BONUS P.O.V. from a friend, eva la rue, that also affected me: “it’s not so much about somebody forgiving you or you going and saying ‘oh, i forgive them’ and ‘i forgive what they did to me,’ it’s about going in and actually saying to the other person, ‘how have i hurt you?’ even if you feel like you’re the one who’s been hurt, it’s letting go of your hurt for the moment and saying (or maybe letting go forever and saying): ‘how have i harmed you?’ because that makes the person, i’ve noticed, completely fall away. all the pretense all the anger all the resentment, it falls away. because we all really want somebody to say: ‘how have i hurt you?’ ‘what was it i did?” and ‘i’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.'” ~ SEE/HEAR/READ MORE ~

W.O.W.~5 stages of {letting go and} forgiving

by 11 Comments

I saw a video on youtube titled “Forgiveness and the Freedom of Letting Go” tonight and it reminded me of my journey to forgiveness. i began to sow those seeds in 2004 and it took me five years to really get it, to literally know it and to honestly feel it. now pretty much any time something adverse happens to me, i am able to forgive faster, move through the pain or disappointment exponentially quicker, and return to living in the calm and peaceful state of a quantum nowness i have created for myself.~sb
