Divine Loves Secret

The secret to making divine love a reality lies in feeling and expressing all the emotions that don't feel like love, and doing so free of any blame or criticism. Since emotional upsets are always opportunities to heal the past, I agree to breathe every breathe as deeply as possible since the more deeply I breathe the greater my awareness of the emotions that are buried deep inside me.

To the people in my life I say "you have my permission to be emotionally honest with me and I ask for your permission to be emotionally honest with you" At those times when you get triggered into and emotionally upset by something I have said or done, rather than withdrawing, I ask that you express your emotion directly to me while keeping in mind that I am not to blame for what you are feeling. Instead of getting defensive, I will do my best to receive your honest emotional expression as a gift.

And with your permission when I feel hurt or angry or frightened in relation to something you've said or done, I will not withdraw from you but express my emotion openly with the awareness that you are not to blame for what I am feeling. At such times, I will ask that you receive my honest emotional expression as a gift, even if my emotion is difficult for you to be with.

In addition, if I speak critically of you, please remind me to explore my own irritation rather than continuing to focus on what I think is wrong with you. And if you get critical of me I will remind you to explore your inner irritation rather than continuing to focus on what you perceive is wrong with me.

By being together in these ways, to the best of our abilities, we can help one another remove the barriers which keep us separate and stand in the way of the intimacy and uncondional love we long for.

Breathe deeply feel and express every emotion that arises, do not blame, criticize or get defensive, and remember that emotional upsets are always blessings in disguise....herein lies the secret to making divine love a reality.

ATVs

Yeehaw! a day of adventure; 4-wheelers and an island full of mountain trails. What a grand time, once we found enough of them. We had to go to half a dozen places to find one with at least 4 ATVs available at once but we finally did. What a crazy crew we made.....we rode all over the island searching out the best viewpoints and waterfalls and then came up with a plan to go to an inaccessable beach over on the eastern shore & discovered just how treacherous the path really is, Travis especially! The roads were so steep and sandy and graveled we were probably nuts to try it in the first place. there were a few doubtful moments and a couple close calls and then he hit a tree! Travis that is hit a tree, he lost control down an extremely steep hill (had the sense to bail of the vehicle) and the 4-wheeler ran off a curve & slammed right into a tree and rolled down into some brush. It took all 4 of us to get it back to the road and needless to say we turned around and have continued to take only boat taxi to that particular beach area since ;P But all in all it was an incredibly fun and exciting adventure.......

Happy New Year!!!
