Gratitude

People always assume that because I am a spirituality teacher and a sexual intimacy expert, that my life must somehow be perfect.

I am here to tell you.... not true. I do not live in a cave. I am out if the world fully engaged, and that means open to experiencing all life has to offer.

I can meet with the same challenges that faces us all. Challenges in life to me are part of the beauty of life.

Texture is an important aspect of personal growth. A time when we can look at what we are bringing to the table.

It is also a time when we can rise up and make decisions we may have been putting off.

Being a person that believes in accountability  I look at what my actions and beliefs have been that have lead to my particular challenges.

I have lived a very full life. My amazing life has had it's share of tragedy, ecstasy and everything in between.

I am faced with some challenges right now, and I was overwhelmed today.

I broke wide open... I let doubt and fear enter my heart. I let pity and hopelessness penetrate me.

I let tears coarse down my face and the sparkle fade from my eyes.

For several moments I pondered that I was not able to go on. I suspected this was bigger than I could handle and that no where it seemed possible to see a way out. I was alone, in despair, focused solely on my plight.

At a stop light I noticed a leaf drifting down from a tree.. At first it seemed as helpless as I was, caught in gravity's pull, going down, nothing else to experience.

Then just before it hit my windshield, the leaf was catch by a breeze and it spun upwards, twirled around, and flew into the branches of another near by tree. Ah yes.. of course, there is nothing in life that is static. Not even my pain. Not even a predicament. 

There is always someone or something that can serve to adjust our direction.

I then went to the place I know changes everything.

I went to my constant companion .... I went to my breath.

Several breaths later, I opened my eyes to other things around me. I saw people on the street. I knew what I had to do.

I came back to my amazing life, and the sparkled returned. I changed my direction and empowered myself. I know what needs to be done and I have taken action. Even now everything is changing.

I am the ripple in my pond.

MY life is amazing and I am in gratitude of every moment. I would like to share my gratitude and be of service to someone else right in this moment.

I would like to offer someone in great need, a direction change today.

If you are really struggling in an area of your life, whether relationship, sexual, or what have you, and  money is truly keeping you from being able to call and schedule a consultation with me, I want you to email me. Tell me what the problem is briefly and I will get back to you, free of charge, in a phone consult to assist you.

I suspect that there will be a lot of responses to this and I want you to know I will pick two of the responses, that I feel express the biggest need.

I want to open up to all of you the possibility of creating your own directional change today, and assisting someone else's.

If you are in a great space, please go out,  and in the next 12 hours help another.

If you are in need, contemplate that being in service to someone else will allow you to move past  your own seemingly stuck place.

Do not remain static.

Take some breaths and take some action. Be the ripple in you life, your relationships life, your friends, or community's life.

Go do it now!

Go out and be amazing!
