Toolbox or headphones?

Sometimes in life we have to make a split second decision that will shape the conversation that we are in. I know that personally I get so caught up in wanting to fix things that I can lose focus on the actual experience. What I mean to say in short is that sometimes people in our lives want to be heard and just have us there as a sounding board. The challenge is that when we hear them in a state of disarray, we want to help them and sometimes our views can cloud the already existing dilemma.… Continue

Giving.......

The past few days have been so emotional for me as I continue to challenge myself to give and give and give to those who have less than I. I brought tons of food to a shelter in NY after giving a large portion of it to some men that were in Tompkins Square Park. They were so appreciative and a warm and relaxing feeling shot through my body as he followed me back to my car and hugged me. Then today I watched Oprah and a man that had been chasing his dream for his entire life got the chance to… Continue

Visually speaking.....

What if we all could not see? What if the only thing that was exposed was our hearts. In other words, what if we could only feel and not see? I am wondering this because I continue to have conversations about if it matters what a woman looks like to me? Could I date a woman that was very unattractive, yet had a heart of gold? I could answer yes and I could answer no. It obviously is situational. Everything in life is subject to change and that is about the only thing that is guaranteed. Somet… Continue

An excerpt from "Creating Peace By Being Peace" by Gabriel Cousins

When we have developed a mature feeling body, we are able to love without the feeling of controlling or being controlled. We are able to love out of choice and not need. This is not "love as a business deal," which involves subtle and not-so-subtle levels of co-dependency such as "You love me, and I love you," or "You give me what I want, and I give you what you want." Mature love means loving from a non causal source in which your personal love enhances the basic experience of love. If one i… Continue

Creating a positive day....

Many people say that they don't know what kind of day it will be or this day really is the worst or any combination of that. The truth is that when we open our eyes, that is when "WE" decide what kind of day we will make from the inside out. Today I choose to create a positive day and I am sending my vibes of clarity out to you as well. The mind can wander and usually it does. However, take a moment today and claim a completely clear and vibrant day and own it!!! Walk and talk your own realit… Continue

The human spirit is fragile....

On this journey that we call life, our strength is continually being challenged. We meet up with energies that soothe us and also those that are imbalanced with ours. Either way, we are obliged to learn a lesson and use it to our advantage going forward. In general, my experience is that we create our own truths and our own illusions that catapult us forward into the next frame each and every day. The unspoken and difficult become our inner ailments and personal strife. The spoken and easy going… Continue

Lee replied to Curtis L. Duncan's discussion 'Is Raw Foodism and Veganism Just Another New Age Religion?'

lol yes in many cases. Eating raw fruits and vegetables doesn't make someone more spiritual. If that were case, we could just eat our way to enlightenment. Many animals eat raw fruits and vegetables and still live at a gross level of ignorance an...
