Desperation

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.  – Henry David Thoreau


To despair is to give up on hope. I, admittedly, have been guilty of the crippling feelings of desperation in my life.  Desperate that I would never find love; work that would fulfill me, or if I would ever “just be” happy with myself.  In this despair I made choices.  Choices that with hindsight, lead to more unhappiness.  Grasping at whatever, for that little scrap of desire… Love, Financial Security, etc. Selling myself short – spiraling and further fueling a life of, seemingly, more desperation.  Despair can makes you feel as if you don’t have a choice,  when deep down, we know, that we always do.

Choose love, and choose to love yourself first.  Get help if you need to. Do whatever it takes.  Don’t suffer quietly.  Speak – be heard.  Do whatever it is that you long to do.  Sing your song!

Just a thought…

Love,

Goldi

Organic Soul

I’m not sure if my fears faced me or if I faced my fears… In my youth I merrily skipped around, unaware of anything that wasn’t beautiful. I felt secure in my home with my parents, and I lived in this fairy tale world in my mind – life was good. As I became older fears were dispensed to me.  “Prepare for the future.” “Beware” of so many things.  I became cautious, defensive; looking for the negative, so I could protect myself.

In reality, I created all that I feared.  My reasoning mind had told me I was doing all the “right” things, and now I realize that what I had thought of as my delusional youthful spirt, was the way I should have been living.  With joy in my heart, the fearlessness to do anything; and that I was protected in a way, that what wasn’t best for me, wouldn’t work out.

I wish I would have woke up to these facts so much sooner. My life would have flowed so much easier. I wouldn’t reason why this or that didn’t happen, or why this person or that person didn’t love me.  I wouldn’t of taken it personally. I would have faith that something better was in store for me. I guess I shouldn’t use the word “better”, because the people and opportunities that passed- were good, but they were not what was “just right” for me.

My organic soul is now living more simply, healthily, and close to natures flow.  Meaning that I still have goals, and wants, and desires…, and I’m taking steps and making effort to get to where I want, but if the door doesn’t open when I knock, I have faith that if I keep on knocking that the door that does open, will be what’s “just right” for me, or at least, lead me in the direction of where I need to go.

Remember to listen to your gut, follow your intuition, and stay organic and true to you!

PS… I know I’ve been away for a while, but I went through all my belongings, I’ve downsized, and moved.  It feels great – lighter, freeing!  Thanks for keeping with me!  With Love and Gratitude! Goldi

The Greatest Gift

It’s more important than money, a job, or even love.  Its the most important thing.  Without it we have nothing – literally. Its our health. Take that moment to exercise, or to have a peaceful and relaxing cup of coffee on the porch.  Whatever you need for your mental and/or physical health – do it!

I told this recently to my brother who had a heart attack a few months ago, and he argued back that he was tired of hearing about people who take care of just themselves, because then he is the one who ends up needing to help them all.  I agreed that some people take it to far, and we all do need help from time to time.  After hearing the stress in his voice, I reminded him that if he didn’t start taking care of himself, he wouldn’t be around to take care of anybody…  take care of yourself first, so that you can take care of others.

My mother is 70 years old, works, travels the world, and is always positive, happy and upbeat; and she shows no signs of stopping. What a gift she is giving me by taking care of herself, so that I don’t have to…

I’m sure you have at least one family member who you take care of that you wish would of taken care of themselves.  Use that memory if you have to, so that you don’t feel guilty, of how taking care of yourself is really the greatest gift you can give to those you love.
