The exciting thing about growing with someone is watching all they become. Watching their skills develop, their personality shine and their character strengthen through the trials and tribulations of life. You can’t tell me that their is something sexier then watching your girl level up in life. Watching her start at a receptionist to running her own company. Watching her playing with her nieces and nephews to seeing her nurture and love your kids. Watching her save her small income to buying investment properties and making power moves. Don’t waste your time on these one nighters G, find a dope chick and contribute to her evolution of becoming a boss ass wife, businesswoman and mother.

“My mom had her own issues, so I was never really parented.  I spent most of my time alone.  Cereal out of the box.  Packets of ketchup.  The occasional cold chicken finger that she’d bring back from a night of partying.  I left the house when I turned twelve and started staying with school friends every night.  By thirteen I was making my own money from acting gigs and extra work.  And by sixteen I was completely on my own.  I couldn’t balance school and work so I dropped out in the ninth grade.  I worked in record stores.  I started photographing bands and then moved into photography.  That’s what I’ve been doing the last twenty years.  Lots of commercial stuff.  Lots of happy family snappies in the park.  But these last few years I’ve moved into fine art photography. And the whole ‘art thing’ really requires me to put myself out there.  It’s personal.  So I’ve had to confront my past.  I’m sensitive about my lack of education.  I don’t have a degree or the sense of entitlement that comes along with it.  Sometimes it can feel like a closed door.  Like I don’t belong.  It can be difficult to self-advocate.  Or stay confident in the face of rejection.  Or own my space when I’m dealing with someone that is difficult.  Ironically my husband and I have a lot of friends who are authors, or professors, or film directors.  They’re all very educated.  I just never had the chance.  I had to zig and zag and do whatever I could to survive.  But I got here.  I’m attending my own art show this afternoon.  And you know what?  Talking through this stuff just made me realize that I’m proud of myself.”

‪Constantly analyze yourself. Figure out why certain things upset you. Question your own motives. Understand your behavior. This creates a pathway for change. Acknowledging why you do the things you do is the first step in shifting out of toxic patterns.‬

DAY o2: Favorite Quote // A Dream of Spring // House Targaryen 

Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.

About Jesus…

Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus) was a really non-duality Pantheist! His claim to Divinity wasn’t unique or solo, nor was he claiming to be special.

Rabbi Yeshua did not say he alone was God and the Son of God, but instead taught we are all Sons of God and one with God. Let’s look at some of his sayings in the Four Gospels:

“The Father and I are One.”

“Who has seen me has seen the Father”

“I am in my Father and you are in me, and I am in you.”

“The Kingdom of God is all around you”

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'”

“Ye are Gods, and children of the most high”

There are many other similar sayings in other gospels that are no longer included in the Bible, such as the gospels of Thomas, Philip and Mary.

Rabbi Yeshua didn’t want us to worship him as God! He wanted us to know we are all one with God, united with God, part of God and surrounded by God.

•Know thyself, Thou art God•

Unfortunately this fundamental teaching of Jesus is now lost in Christianity and the Western world, but the same teaching continues in the East in Zen, Mahamudra and Advaita Vedanta.

Om Tat Tvam Asi - You are that!

Om Namah Shivaya - Hail Shiva

Soham - I Am

Shivoham - Shiva I am.

“Stop focusing on what made you happy before, and start focusing on what can make you happy now.”

a magician asks you to pick a card - any card, in fact. you do. they ask you to put the card back in the pack - anywhere in the pack, in fact. you do. they walk away. ten years later, your wife gives birth to the six of clubs. “is this your card?” the midwife asks, in a familiar voice.
