When People Treat You Badly
We have to remember…
That people who intentionally hurt us are hurting inside
They take it out on us sometimes because we are there
They take it out on anyone to release the pain they are feeling
It’s all about what they are going through and how they choose to release their pain
Understanding where they are coming from helps us
It does not excuse their behavior
It does not mean that you should allow abuse
And you should not react in vengence
It simply means, to me, that I am glad I am not them
Stay Centered in Love
Some thoughts today on Love…Hope it helps…Velinda
“Love is life and if you are missing love, you are missing life”
Leo Buscaglia
Be in love with life…experience it all…the newness and the pain. There’s something miraculous about a love for life that brings all we want and need.
If you experience pain…remember the experience, learn the lesson and KNOW that there is new love on the way
Open your heart… a closed heart never finds love
Don’t hold back…vulnerability is not weakness, it is power
Align yourself completely with your uniqueness…your needs, dreams, and desires…and you will find someone who resonates with you
Get into life to feel and experience all the richness that awaits…love is not found sitting in your living room. (And remember, real relationships are not the ones you have on your cell phone or facebook)
Do what you love…in a job, a hobby, or giving to others…doing what you love makes you feel alive
Because in the end all that matters is that you experienced love
“Love is the bridge between you and everything”
Rumi
On the Other Side of Grief
A bad breakup is one of the most traumatic things you will ever go through. This kind of grief can go on for a very long time. However the transition is a wonderful time of hiatus to get to know yourself better. Frequently, it is only after experiencing deep grief that we realize how important it is to know ourselves better so we never make those mistakes again. It’s a time to stop living in denial about what you were ignoring in the relationship that was right in front of you. It’s a time to ask yourself why you tolerated the abuse, neglect, apathy or emotional unavailability. You have to be responsible for what you ignore and deny. You have to look at your past story and how you kept contributing to and perpetuating that story.
Creating a new and wonderful life is work, but it’s worth it. Many people who go through a devastating breakup find better relationships than they ever thought were possible. Bad breakups teach us profound lessons about what we won’t tolerate in the future and what we won’t settle for. I have known so many people who have found the love of their life only after experiencing a bad relationship.
On the other side of grief is life. On the other side of grief is freedom, opportunity and happiness and a relationship possibly like you’ve never known before.
The Only Thing Stopping You…is You
(This post is specially for Amit and my friends in India)
If you could envision yourself succeeding at anything you want without any obstacles, what would it be?
If you could have the relationship your heart desires without allowing insecurities to inhibit you, how would that make you feel?
If you could master the art of making your dreams come true…no excuses, what would those dreams look like?
If you could finally live your purpose and make a difference in the world or the lives others, how would that fulfill your life?
If you could live the life your soul knows is meant for you, the life that is full of love and meaning, what steps do you need to take to have it?
Now you know what to do…
The only thing stopping you…is you

Best Day Ever
“What day is it?” asked Pooh.
“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet.
“My favorite day,” said Pooh.
Your Heart Rules
Sometimes we don’t want to face the truth. But it’s always there and the truth cannot escape what the heart knows.

Thank You…
I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who reads my blog and my twitter posts, and who likes and comments on them. I just now noticed that most of the comments (on both sites) have gone to spam and I’m sorry I didn’t notice them sooner.
I’m not a computer wiz and time is a big issue, however, you are all in my heart. I don’t want to be just another blog with quotes, although they are wonderful, but instead try to post ideas and thoughts beyond just quotes. I sincerely hope that through my posts and my book that the world is a more positive place one person at a time. If you like what I do please share my sites…
PS. I love animals and use them frequently in my posts pictures. I hope you love them as well
