“In everyone’s life, at some time,
our INNER FIRE goes out.
It is then burst into flame
by an encounter with ANOTHER
To be at your peak, don’t work so much.
(this is written by my friend and colleague, Tony Schwartz of The Energy Project.
Both are real. Both require a basic faith in something bigger then yourself. Both have extreme negative and naively positive expressions. Both require a mature sense of balance to avoid those extremes. On olitics I suggest an exploration of your values, then a review of current issues and ask yourself how you feel about those issues our nation and world faces. On faith, I’d do the same, and then see what the New Testament has to say about those issues. THEN trust your instinct and follow your heart.
I personally live a vibrant faith, but I don’t consider modern Christianity the unquestionable truth. I think God is bigger than the images we’ve made around the idea of God. I also don’t live in fear of an evil equal to God (the devil). I make choices. I live with them.
You have nothing to be afraid of. Nothing to doubt. You have everything to gain by learning and staying curious about your relationship with God and your involvement in your community, nation and world. Keep seeking, you’ll find what you’re looking for.

Audacity.
i want to tell them my wildest dreams. i want to text them in the middle of the night after a horrible nightmare and have them be the one to comfort me. i want to send them the nerdiest jokes. i want to cuddle. i want to watch horror films. i want to go on slurpee runs. i want to plan road trips. i want to make mix tapes for them. i want to laugh with someone. i want to create stupid little inside jokes. i want to go movie shopping with them.

The law of vibration and attraction work faster for some than others, and I think it is a combination of intention and passion that speeds our results. As far as the Giver, that part isn’t up to us, but if we hold any biases or judgements about where our gift can come from, we might be limiting our availability to receive the thing we desire. Sometimes in the course of fulfilling the desires of our heart, the Universe will also reveal the motives of our heart. Know that the Source is bigger than any one person, place or thing—and your fears or prejudices might be the thing that delays your delivery…thanks for a great question!
