There is a lot of healing going on. Really! More people are vegetarians, more are in the green movement, more of us are tearing down the old paradigms and embracing same-sex marriage, single motherhood, men raising babies.
I'm focusing on healing lives and teaching people that they can heal - giving them tools to heal.
When you enter a new experience, all that requires healing rushes to the surface . . . You have to pause.
If you don't have a test, you won't be able to have a testimony.
Acknowledgemen t of what you feel, what you know, what you need is the first step toward healing.
Healing is the application of love.
You're never healing the level you're on. You're always healing the level you came from. For example, you know things today that you didn't know in your first marriage.
When you find yourself in a new situation, everything that requires healing is going to rush to the surface.
Forgiveness leads to a shift in perception. It transforms the hurt into healing.
Everyone is always looking for their beloved. Well, why can't you be your own beloved? Fall in love with yourself.
Feminine power is silent, dark, mysterious, healing, nurturing. A woman can walk into a room and control it. She doesn't even have to open her mouth if she knows where her power is.
Change doesn't have to be hard, and healing doesn't have to hurt. Surely by now you know that every thing happens for a reason! There is something better awaiting you on the other side of this.
To honor life, we must be willing to grow through what we don't know yet, and outgrow what we know no longer fits us. We must be willing to give in to the process, moment by moment, realizing a new plot may be unfolding.
People have a right to change their minds and it has absolutely nothing to do with you. People change. As people change, their needs change. When people have a need, it is their responsibility to themselves to see their needs are met. And it has absolutely nothing to do with you.
