Courage is always rewarded.
I am attracting a new audience now, one that is more open and more spiritually inclined.
I am learning to forgive my inner geek, and even value him as a free man.
I am not as scared about people tearing this one up as I would have been in the past because of the basis in 'knowing' this one has. There are people out there that are hungry for this.
I am working with our therapist Niravi again and unearthing that stuff; because I see that it's a program that, if left in the shadow, would eventually have destroyed my career, possibly my relationship, and my health.
I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.
I couldn't have come up with a better metaphor for my life and my internal conflict. It amazes me how quickly we can manifest our fears; not only had I created my 'I'm never satisfied, I'll drive her away' nightmare.
I guess I'm ready or it wouldn't be happening. Julia taught me that Spirit gives us nothing we're not ready for.
I had to beat the bags, big time, I had to get out into the den and start screaming and move it through my body.
I had to get in touch with the source, I had to go back into my abandonment issues with my mother, I had to go into issues with my father I hadn't even looked at before.
I knew what book we had to write, it was clear in my head; it was journals and poetry. So I passed on their offer. I told my agent this is our vision, and no one's done it this way.
I know that Julia has been given to me for my spiritual growth, and this moment is perfect for us both. I know that I love her, and I know she's my soul mate.
I must let go of my need for the world to love me.
I think Julia is defining a new feminism. It's the power of the open heart. And its ok to be sexual.
I watched his body slowly disintegrate until he died. That all began when my father was about aged 50, the age I just turned last month.
I've worked so hard to eliminate the inner geek from my life. I suddenly realize I have no patience for those people who still have their geeks showing. Now I see why being 'normal' has been so important to me.
It's been quite a 'pattern interrupt', a massive change of the old programming.
It's hard enough doing something bold without jumping into your bad reviews.
Julia loves the speaking, doing it together. Women are really drawn to her. They want to know how she does what she does.
Like in this issue of feeling jealous of Julia's attention toward our new baby, I could have acted as if the problem was her.
My career was about to change radically, in turning 50 I had hit the age where my Dad made a big career and his life started to unravel.
My quest these days is to find my long lost inner child, but I'm afraid if I do, I'll end up with food in my hair and way too in love with the cats.
My resistance to communication work is because of 15 years with my former wife where we did all this work, but we never got to the core of anything.
My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.
My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward. That's when you really trust to the maximum.
My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.
Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.
Relationships are so much a rerun of our parental relationships. We're rerunning the relationship they were in together and we're rerunning the relationship we had with them with our lover.
Running away will never make you free.
That's an old saying I just made up.
The corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved, maybe even more than the housewife was; because she's so out of her power, and imitating male power is not female power.
The more honest you can be, the less you have to hide... when I have nothing to hide, I have everything to give.
There is trust in there being a Spirit who loves me and wants me to have love in my life. I trust in this higher power, it is what keeps me moving forward no matter what happens.
This is the front edge of the spiritual, psychological movement and is where the tools of psychology have finally come together to create a mass healing. I think spiritual psychology is the next wave.
We busted a lot of family secrets with this. But to make a long story short, my parents relationship was built heavily on security issues for my Mom, and when my Dad couldn't provide security, the relationship unraveled.
What had been running me was this program that 'You run as fast as you can and when you stop running, your life comes apart and you die.'
Whatever I have not yet learned to tolerate in myself inevitably will appear in my children. In this way, they, like Julia, guide me to a new level of self-awareness and everyone benefits.
When I see that my geek may have contained some of the best parts of me, when I love and appreciate him, I set my children free to see themselves as lovable however they are.
When we were first offered a book deal prior to Avon's, they were trying to get us to change it from the first-person story into a how-to book, and they were offering us some decent money. My agent told me; "you should really consider this".
Why not hold on to whatever I've got because it's as good as it's ever going to get. How can I believe that love is coming, how can I even believe that love exists; if I don't believe it's spiritually based?
Women are just beginning to see that; there's something about being a woman that's innately different from being a man. I love what I'm seeing take place and I know Julia has so much to offer.
You must have love as the core; it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.
