Something in us likes to suffer and not learn the value of pain – Our choice -- we can choose to love what is. We’ll have inner peace; relax into whatever is coming up for us.

We can shift. We can shift. We can shift.

Transform hurt into compassion. We can choose to forgive rather then hold onto anger. We can open our hearts when we’re shut down. We can choose to love rather then live in fear.

We are given countless opportunities to be patient, kind, gentle, trusting, and peaceful or not. A lot of times we choose to react, to drink, to numb, to complain, to be in rage, fear, angry, defiant, rebellious, armored – we act the victim, get stressed, have low self esteem and often die unfulfilled. Our armor is a passing memory that we think is solid.

And that breaks my heart – wide open. I was on my own when I was 14/15 and I was so shut down and mean – scared really, hurt – desperately sad and terrified to let anyone get to know me. I was described as tough.

I was protected – I thought… and until a year and a half ago I really didn’t understand what opening my heart was. I would pray for it, read about it, talk about it, and cried for a long time when I didn’t know who my authentic self was. I had so many layers of hardened, bitter, crunchy, experiences guiding my existence. I couldn’t even take a deep breath. I just knew how to hide and seemed fine, and no one really called my on my stories.

Until it became a pathetic way to live – so shut down, angry not even owning up that I was sad, and hurt. Who knows this could be your moment – your moment to shift. For me, I chose to explore deeply and kindly and realized that I was loveable. I could love and be loved. I could explore pain and not run away and under it everything is just waves of love.

So today I’d like us to consider what we are open to shift. What in our life is working and what is not working? When are you being on autopilot? Tell us where you are shut down and why please. What is love?

What do you think about what I just said? Please post here. Feel free to share this blog with everyone you know. I envision spreading the conversation world wide. Thanks for participating!

Much love and respect
