Waiting ...

"I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are,

what you have, and what can still be for you."

Virginia Satir

Get excited, this is your life! Days are sliding by and not one can be wasted. It is now, with intention, that we move towards beauty, depth, and vision.  Come on! Lift one foot and then the other, inching towards dreams come true.

We have not lost the good parts, buried some where in our past.  The best is not simply lingering out there in some undefinable future.  The magic is right here, right now!  Pick up your magic wand, (sometimes called creativity or thinking cap), and do the thing you do.

If we do not know who we are, then let's get started by defining what kind of person we want to be, where we want to establish this vibrant living, and how to accelerate positive change.  Life isn't over and sometimes 'tomorrow' never comes, so begin ... TODAY!

Depths of Passion

"I want to love you without clutching, appreciate you without judging,

join you without invading, invite you without demanding, leave you

without guilt, criticize without blaming, and help you without insulting.

If I can have the same from you ... "

Virginia Satir

The word passion can be replaced by words such as: affection, anger, ardor, dedication, devotion, excitement.  It is an emotion that can be applied to various endeavors with varying accelerants and strategically projected outcomes.

To increase the depths of passion, one strives to not suffocate, stifle, or insult. As we learn to  support and uplift, the flames of the fire within create sparks and shimmering dances. If we trust the sensation of breaking loose, we can raise our spirits to realms unknown.

When we choose to join forces, euphoria can be experienced.  The key is to embrace the passion of others with integrity and compassion, based on the same scale we expect for our lovely selves.  The depths of our passion are intricate and revolving.  To our own hearts, we must be true.

Always Meant to Be ...

"I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are,

what you have, and what can still be for you."

Virginia Satir

My wish will always be for you to see your lovely self just as I see you.  Step up to the plate and embrace the affirmations given to you.  Enter the ring and choose which fights will better you.   Repel the negative words thrown at you, and nurture the blessings found within your heart.

Own both elements of fire and water as aspects of the self.  Ignite the passion within you feeling the sense of being unleashed, powerful, and free.  Bathe in the calm waters, dive into rolling waves, and float upon your dreams.  

Let no person tell you how deeply to breathe nor how not to bend with the breeze.  Disallow boundaries keeping you gated, restricted, and closed in.  Let your beautiful feet sink into the ground and lift your delicate hands up into mysterious clouds. Let yourself be exactly how you were always meant to be.

Written for you ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was written for you by Virginia Satir:

“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is
authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings,
my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my
dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.

Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.

However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.

I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”
