great-love needs someday
But we are not what the other one needs, still he is certain that I will find great love in my life someday. He is sure of it. After all, he says, beauty attracts beauty.
perfect balance needs
He is only happy when he can maintain himself - mentally and spiritually - at the intersection between a vertical line and horizontal one, in a state of perfect balance. For this, he needs to know where he is located every moment, both in his relationship to the divine and to his family here on earth. If he loses that balance, he loses his power.
answers care needs
the only thing you need to do for now is get some rest and take good care of yourself until you do know the answer
destiny needs path
There is a theory that if you yearn sincerely enough for a Guru, you will find one. The universe will shift, destiny's molecules will get themselves organized and your path will soon intersect with the path of the master you need.
giving-up order needs
What are you willing to give up, in order to become who you really need to be?
powerful house needs
If we never leave our house except to drive to work, do we need to be even remotely aware of this powerful, humbling, extraordinary and eternal life force that surges and ebbs around us all the time? Apparently not. Because we have stopped paying attention.
thinking needs determined
I am determined to make the most of this life that I have, damn it - it's that kind of stubbornness I think we all need more of.
needs sometimes bits
Sometimes beauty needs a bit of ignoring, to properly come into being.
decision littles needs
You make some big grandoise decision about what you need to do, or who you need to be, and then circumstances arise that immediately reveal to you how little you understood about yourself.
experts needs answers
I am not an expert at praying, as you know. But can you please help me? I am in desperate need of help. I don't know what to do. I need an answer. Please tell me what to do...
love-you i-love-myself needs
I do not need to love you to prove that I love myself!!
thinking validation needs
The world needs women who stop asking for permission from the principal. Permission to live their lives as they deeply know they often should. I think we still look to authority figures for validation, recognition, permission.
forgiveness dear-lord needs
Dear Lord, please show me everything I need to understand about forgiveness and surrender
finally traveler until
Most important, though, I had to wait until I found the perfect traveling/eating/drinking/napping companion. And I did finally find him, two years ago - my Brazilian-born, French-speaking, wine-worshipping, tripe-consuming, uncomplaining traveler of a sweetheart.
