It's Highly time to remove the unnecessity to hoard people and things
What I have been personally observing with MySelf is, 'where is the hurt/pain?'
When I'm driving; where is this anger from? Where is the impatience? Why is....?
Is it because it's not in my control? It's not in my control for folk to not be in my way
Some time ago; I reacted to someone's rage. I wanted to control myself and I maintained enough w/o the name-calling. If anything; I encouraged her to get another job. I still couldn't see where I was wrong initially. I do know that sometimes my quick dings may come off short. Definitely not intended and I do make attempt to offer apologies if I catch it quickly. However, the situation accelerated rather immediate and my reaction in it was not very pretty. I know it happens. I know that we are all dealing with life and reality. I just like to be more accountable and my daughter did bear witness and that honestly was the only thing I did not like.
That will be what I'll call one to grow on... le sigh

A Deeper Understanding

'...Now it ain't easy but I don't need no help
I've got a strong will to survive
I've got a deeper love, deeper love
Deeper love inside and I call it....'  Deeper Love recorded by Aretha Franklin

I encourage us all to dig deep

Dig deep w/your eyes closed in your times of privacy.

Privacy is not just sitting w/incense and candles chanting Om/Aum

Privacy is blocking out people at the party

and breathing. Nodding yes to the agreement of YourSelf.

 No one has the jurisdiction to tell you how improper it is. Sometimes it's a brief deep breath while in the midst of conversation. 

The only way someone's word on your action in this is if  you give that permission. Giving them that permission is giving them the power of this very personal thing of you. 

I know this sounds not so good; even if  you were held up in almost the last moments of your lifetime; it is your personal decision to breathe. This standing in your face. Obviously, if caught off guard... one could hope that  you were able in the moment of the unknown...

Let's be mindful in this time of our lives. Find out where it hurts and breathe to heal. Allow the silence - no matter how long or brief to speak. 

Silence does speak volumes..... Don't be afraid. Be vulnerable w/YourSelf. Remember to tell YourSelf . I love You.

as always, these words are intended in love and not hurt. no offense meant.

It Was Said...

It was said 
you weren't going to make it
I'm glad that you didn't listen to them.
I'm glad that you decided to smile big and hearty.
Even through the heartbreaks and aches.
