WOMEN in RECOVERY – Narcissism

     Narcissistic Personality Disorder manifests as 'terminal victims'!   ____________________________   People who are victims create situations in their lives where they constantly feel victimized. When we are in relationship with a narcissistic personality we also feel victimized by their behavior. They are unable to see their own part in creating a painful reality for us. Because we are caring and compassionate, we are normally the ones who yield and give-in. We are the ones … [Read more...]

WOMEN in RECOVERY – New Paradigm Solutions

What is a ‘Spiritual Paradigm’? For me it is the dominant belief system for a particular culture. For example, the dominant belief system throughout Asia several hundred years ago was Buddhism. Spiritual paradigms assist people in feeling safe, respected and part of a community. This is because a shared Spiritual Paradigm gives a group of disparate people a common identity, a belief in something larger than themselves. This belief usually arises out of a mythos created to explain the … [Read more...]

The important people in your life are remarking about how well you are doing. Yet, there still seems to be an absence of something important. We may not be developing … [Read more...]

Spiritual Axiom – When ‘IT’ imbalances You, it usually is YOU!

"Spiritual Axiom" of WHEN 'IT' IMBALANCES YOU, 'IT'S' usually YOU!..... Spiritual Axiom Saturday morning my daughter and I headed out to the bank to try to get the last bit of evidence needed for immigration. I was pissed off before I even entered the bank because of what happened in the parking lot. When I parallel-parked I barely touched the car behind me with my bumper. We were parking on a strip that runs next to all the stores as you pull in, and this fucking … [Read more...]

Abortion …Act of right, race consciousness or spiritual dis-ease?

  A Celebration of Women has no opinion to make on this 'Issue' other than to suggest stopping the Debate and seek a Solution:  "Judging or challenging an 'effect' in life is like pissing in the wind if one nevers seeks the truth to the 'cause'. One would still think that if we, as a society, researched more into the cause; that being 'pregnancy', and less into 'effect'; that being 'abortion', there might be some HOPE for CHANGE."   While abortion can be an election issue, access is … [Read more...]

Abundance is an Attitude!

ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE is Key to Abundance   As difficult as it can be, one must say 'ThankYou' for all that one has; and stop focusing on lack. Start the morning with a first thought of 'Thank God I woke up today, for now I have another chance'. Then, always end one's day with a last thought of 'Thank God for what I did accomplish today'.
