A Prayer For Expectation Addicts: Show Up. Shine. Let It Go.

http://kennymasenda.blogspot.com/2011/12/let-go.html

I have willed stuff into being. Lot's of it. Will will willing willfulness. And if you dared to tell me (brave soul, you), in the midst of my willfulness, that I should let go of my expectations, (gasp!) I would have gone stone cold, or snortle-laughed you off, or pressed delete. Because I thought expectation was a key ingredient to manifestation. Turns out it's a major distraction. And I'm done with it. For now. (One day at a time 'n all that.)

Understanding Miracles

In the movie "Oh, God!” the title character, played by George Burns, explains to co-star John Denver that the last miracle he performed was the 1969 Mets – the implication being that God is a kind of celestial superhero whose random interventions result in some amazing things happening here on earth. This is likely how most folks view miracles, and pretty much how they’re defined on Dictionary.com:

The Tsunami in Japan: A Reminder To LIVE FULLY NOW

Tsunami In Japan

Last night, when I went to sleep, life was peaceful. This morning, my coastal Northern California town and more than 50 countries are being threatened by a tsunami alert and many parts of Japan have been devastated by the tsunami triggered by an 8.9 earthquake early this morning.

It’s a vivid reminder that everything can change in a blink. While I crave the illusion of certainty, I know that it’s just that -- an illusion. Many people died this morning, people with big dreams they figured they’d pursue next year, confessions of love they would whisper tomorrow, family members they would forgive later, self-doubt they would overcome some day.

Some day may never come. Today may be all there is.

How to Conjure What You Wish to Create, Part I: A Fable


There’s a lot of talk these days about the Law of Attraction. They make it sound so simple. You just wish for something, and then- POOF! Your fairy godmother appears and you get exactly what you want. Just like that.

Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? But how can that be? If it worked that way, we’d need to do nothing more than make three wishes and, like any good fairy tale, all of our dreams would come true. So why doesn’t it work? Let me tell you a secret … it does. It just doesn’t work that way. What do I mean? Get comfy and I’ll tell you a little story.

Owning Parenthood: Getting Creative

A Picnic with The Reeves Family


There was a lot of love in my household growing up; however, I was not brought up in a “traditional” home. My parents divorced when I was 11. My sister and I lived with my Dad for most of my life, and while he was working, we were usually at my Aunt Doris’s house doing craft projects, playing outside or playing board games. We usually spent the weekends getting in some quality Mom time.

Owning Faith: Build Your Altar and Blessings Will Come

mmh_altar
For as long as I can remember I have always been curious about religion and different acts of faith that bring you closer to God and yourself. I remember my mother looking at my strangely when I was little because I told her I would love to have my very own therapist. To me, having a therapist wouldn’t mean that I was trying to find out what was wrong with me, but it would allow me to view myself from an angle I had not yet seen.
