Heading to Laura’s Invitation to Love retreat. I’m expecting to face transformation, which is sometimes hard, messy, and scary.

Back in 2015, I was struggling so much in my marriage. Lackluster might be one of the words for it. It wasn’t as if there was no connection. I still had a best friend in the relationship, but I wanted so much more than that. Over 20 years of raising three kids, being in two full-time careers, and building a business together, it all had a deadening impact. It really isn’t an easy task to maintain passion, intimacy, and connection with the standard modern model of life we have.

Come discover how to go to deeper levels of love. An Invitation to Love Retreat - July 2023

 We all deserve to be cherished, loved, and appreciated for the unique beautiful beings we are — and that includes all parts of ourselves our hearts, our gifts, our presence, desires, the way we show up,  our bodies (even in imperfection), our quirks and much more.  

I’ve found that having a personal shrine in my home has been a haven from the stress I experience on a daily basis. It is the place where I meditate daily but it also serves as a reference point for sanity and clarity when it seems hard to find.

For those of us who grew up in the West, there are two strains of philosophy that form our consciousness. One is the Platonic philosophy that everything around us is a (lesser) reflection of some kind of external ideal. Second is the Judeo-Christian view of God’s judgment and our own sin nature. Taken together we develop a belief that we are all innately capable of evil. We have to overcome this natural state of badness.

When you long for something more in your relationships or long to a new kind of relationship, it is a call to love. It’s the most natural thing in the world to desire.

Last time I shared about my battle with shame in my youth. When I entered the workforce, I discovered a whole new realm of shame and perfectionism. In the workplace, my perceived failures were now measured by more tangible things, such as dollars, promotions, and opportunities. No matter how I succeeded, I could always point to a peer or a friend who was doing better or who had succeeded a little bit more. This added a new dimension to my feeling of shame.

I was so young I don’t remember that day or the confident, happy feeling. It is safe to say that even today it is an unfamiliar feeling. The feeling of being an imposter, of not measuring up, of failing, and of self-hatred has occupied the vast majority of my life.

If you weren’t with us last week, you can catch up here. This week, I promised to share my biggest challenge, a secret I harbored in my body, that was like a monster under my bed. I managed to suppress it from my conscious awareness for a very long time, but fear was still present.

My story starts as a journey of loss, grief, and trauma, and ultimately leads to a heart cracked wide open to love. I promise it won’t leave you sad if you’ll stick it out.

A special meditation session for the people of Ukraine

I’ve had tickets to attend the VanGogh Immersive Experience for months. I’d heard it was amazing and I looked forward to the possibility of getting out of the house and doing something that would inspire me.

Well, things didn’t go as planned.

Part I

How do we possibly be love, or contribute love to a world that is at war? This seems to be a significant question for us all as we watch Ukraine being invaded. It is so easy to feel helpless or not want to look at the news.

A friend of mine called this week after watching the news and she talked about feeling fear, anxiety and dread about world events. After talking for a while I realized how often I try to avoid the discomfort of life’s events. The truth is that, despite my discomfort, terrible things happen every day.
