I have a job where I rattle the cage.
Rattle the cage and to stir something deep within.
Something painful, something joyful, something meaningful! Something comes up.
I rattle a cage, shake the tree limb, shine a light, raise a thought, make a statement, present an observation, and witness.
I have a job I love.
A job that requires a great deal of courage. Some days I am afraid to say what I see. Some days I am afraid that you may not like me.
Some days I am afraid that you may not trust that I love and care about you.
Some days it is harder for me to be courageous.
Some days I would rather go with the crowd and take the easy route to nowhere then to go against the crowd and stand as one.
I have this job I love where I rattle the cage of consciousness and shake the soul deep within. Awaken, awaken, awaken and see the love, feel the love and become the love that connects us all, that touches us all, that leaves a mark on us all. ]]> kwigers http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/kwigers/2403-i-have-job-i-love.html http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/kwigers/2402-stories-we-tell-ourselves.html Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:34:54 GMT The stories we tell ourselves and others are the stories that keep us trapped in the story we are telling. We become the story, and everyone who comes into our lives become a part of our story.... The stories we tell ourselves and others are the stories that keep us trapped in the story we are telling.
We become the story, and everyone who comes into our lives become a part of our story.
Every event that occurs, we recant it so it fits into our story of who we are and the way in which the world and everyone in it adapts to our own belief of the story we tell of ourselves.
Do you like the story you are telling yourself and others? Is it the story you wish to continue to experience? Is it the story you love to tell and retell?
If not...it is possible to change your story at any moment! ]]> kwigers http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/kwigers/2402-stories-we-tell-ourselves.html http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/kwigers/2175-loving-myself.html Fri, 22 May 2009 06:46:00 GMT Loving you began with loving myself.
I had to look at me, and love me, every part of me, the good the bad, the ugly. I had to realize for myself that there wasn't anything about me that was no longer loveable, worthy of love...
in order for me to look at you and love you.
every part of you, the good, the bad and the ugly as well.
I had to stop judging parts of me, so I would stop seeing those in you.
I had to stop beating myself up, so I could stop beating you up as well.
I had to stop putting expectations on myself, so I could stop putting them on you.
Loving you came about from me loving myself.
Loving myself is all about loving god, trusting god and surrendering to god![url]http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/7159/rotfxk0.gif[/url] ]]> kwigers http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/kwigers/2175-loving-myself.html
