Positive Affirmations for Creating Healthy Relationships.
Jul 31st
Much of who we bring into our life is a reflection of our inner conversation about ourselves as well about others. Below are some positive affirmations that can assist you in manifesting the type of relationship that you truly want to bring into your life.
1. I am loving, lovable and loved.
2. I accept others for who they are and who they are not.
3. I joyously forgive others and myself and I set myself free from the past. I am at peace.
4. I love and accept myself exactly as I am now.
5. I attract loving relationships into my life.
6. I love. I am love.
7. I respect and care about others.
8. I am grateful for the people in my life.

10. I love everything about myself.
A passing can put things and life in perspective.
Jul 15th
My mother passed approximately two weeks ago. My father passed two years ago this month. While I was not present at my father’s passing, I was there for my mother, to witness her leaving this realm of existence. It was a very powerful experience and one that can teach me even in her leaving.
What I became present to, something that my mother and I discussed after my dad passed, was that we do not take anything with us when we pass. Mom’s comment was that my dad did not even take his pajamas with him. Like my father, mom too took nothing physical with her. I hope she took my love though.
Given that I too will eventually pass, I must stay present to what is important and also the fact that I will take nothing with me as well. Everything that I have is on loan to me, I am merely using it and borrowing it for a certain period of time. We own nothing, we keep nothing, we merely use things. Many people believe that opposite from this fundational belief. From this I get that what is important is my relationship to others and myself. Being of service to others and taking care of myself in the best way possible is what is truly important. It is from this conversation that we can put life in perspective.

Staying present to and expressing my truth.
May 24th
Staying present to and committed to expressing my truth is important. I need to say what I believe and not hold it back, or create reasons to not say what I need to say to others. We have a tendency to hold back, to not say what we want to say to others, creating the excuse that we do not want to hurt the other person’s feelings. What happens is that we hold our truth back and are not honest with the other person and inauthentic with ourselves. We end up not being fully self expressed with the other person and the relationship suffers. While we say that we do not want to hurt the other person’s feelings it is really we do not want the other person to leave us. If I say what I want and need to say the person may not like what I have to say and will leave me. That is the fear. That is truly why I do not share my truth with the other person. In the end the relationship may not survive if I am honest but then again maybe it was not meant to be. Holding onto something that maybe should not have been, because of my fear, my fear of being alone, is truly inauthentic and in the end, will not continue regardless of what we hold back.
