• The Mastery of Love, by Don Miguel Ruiz

  “Truth”

  When we look at our wounds with the eyes of truth, we can finally heal these wounds. YOu begin by practicing the truth with your self. When you are truthful with yourself, you start to see everything as it is, not the way you want to see it.

  Don’t believe all the lies you tell yourself – all those lies that you never chose to believe, but have been programmed to believe.

  Don’t believe yourself when you say you are not good enough, you are not strong enough, you are not intelligent enough. Don’t believe you are not beautiful. Don’t believe whatever makes you suffer.

  You can chose how you want to live your life. And if you are honest with yourself, you will know you are always free to make new choices.

  “Forgiveness”

  There is no other way but forgiveness to clean emotional wounds. Forgive those who hurt you, even if whatever they did was unforgivable in your mind. You will forgive them not because they deserve to be forgiven, but because you don’t want to suffer every time you remember what they did to you. When you can touch a wound and it doesn’t hurt, then you know you have truly forgiven. Forgive others, and you will see miracles start to happen in your life.

  Forgive yourself also – for everything you have done in your whole life. When you forgive yourself, self-acceptance begins and self-love grows. That is the supreme forgiveness – when you can finally forgive yourself.

  “Self-Love”

  Love is the medicine that accelerates the process of healing. There is no other medicine but unconditional love. There are millions of ways to express your happiness, but there is only one way to really be happy, and that is to love.

• A safe place for Me.

  The sentiments, feelings, expressions, emotions of this blog may appear childlike and perhaps unbecoming of a big lady like me, but what I have just realized, is that the healing I am doing isn’t about a big lady, rather that of a little girl.

  The wounds that happened to me, happened as a young child, and what happens then the body grows big, but inside of me I am stunted and remain emotionally immature.

  Expressing my feelings now, about events long ago, sound like I am lost in my past, but what is really going on is that I am healing me in my past and allowing my emotional body to catch up with my big lady body.

  What is also very incredible is that an event today is orchestrated perfectly to heal a part of me that was hurt a long time ago.

  The gifts that I received by my mother leaving a message on my daughter’s phone, is multifaceted.

  Empowering, grieving, to seeing things I failed to notice, nothing happens by mistake.

  Each event that stirs up emotions is here to teach, to bring a part of me back to me.
  Just so you all know the little girl voice is a voice of little girl who had no voice growing up, and I am thrilled beyond words, that I have the opportunity and the vessel for her to heard.

  Whether another soul reads this or not, I am reading it as I write.

  It is an incredible experience to speak as me and to hear me, to feel the sorrow and be the one to comfort, to allow tears to fall that have been repressed for years, to feel after so many years of being afraid to, I am talking to or as the little girl in each post.

  What sacred space this is.

  A safe place for me.
