Peace on the horizon



Living in one’s shadow was what I had been doing. We all have that one injustice that can carry us to another level of sarcasm and vitriol. We all have our shadow selves that jump out in a second without us even being aware. There are certainties that we need to be true to ourselves with, that hold a foundation for our true belief system. There were times that I knew what I was getting myself into was not factual and pointless in discussion. Why do we not listen to that tiny voice that keeps telling us to turn in a new direction? Having that wonder can be a beholder in my own day to day struggles but having that realism is proof in the pudding.

We can be who we want to be with that little nudge from someone close to you. Having that nudge can turn the tables and allow the freedom to be expressed. I wanted to go on this journey but who was coming along with me? Was it the same old people that always had my back or was it going to be someone that I least expected to hold my hand and lead me to another way of being? Sometimes that is when you need the salvation to come hurtling at you. When faced with the old demons, we know their names. They are like an old family friend that you feel comfortable with. You’re comfortable so why rock the boat?

There come times when you need that old friend to step away and release them to the warriors. Being out of your comfort zone and allowing the person to evolve takes courage. It takes a mountain of respect to leap to the unknown. Climbing a rope and being scared that you will fall down is not an ideal situation when you are halfway up there.  Having that thought pattern increases your chances of falling. Telling yourself you will get to the top has more advantages and takes pride of place for all to see. Joining in the chorus of happiness and success is my number one priority.

Being aware of my surroundings and knowing where to turn has been my failure in the past. I am at peace. I am being surrounded by the truth of the situation that all is fine. Fine is rising up to the challenges and succeeding in what you have done. Fine is being ok with yourself and knowing that you have accomplished what you set out to do. Fine is being aware of your pitfalls and allowing them to be there still. Allowing the pitfalls to illuminate all around you without it affecting you anymore. You may not be able to fully let them go but sitting on them gives us a sense of stability and comradeship when you are wanting to trudge ahead full steam. Being at peace with yourself shows the world the new powers you have just indulged, and I am fine with that.

Years mark the day

YEARS MARK THE DAY By Jacqui Ray We were celebrating another milestone with our marriage, another year passed with unrelinquished misery as my husband would say. I know he was joking but deep down were we still compatible? Most years we would forget our wedding anniversary or anything else that resembled a major point in our lives. People make out dates to be so important, I am not sure if this was a sticking point in our relationship. Did it really matter if we did not celebrate our wedding anniversary? Did it really matter if we did not wear our wedding rings? People get so caught up in the expectations of what others think. It is not what he does for me but how he does it. My husband may not jump for joy on certain days when I am wanting him too but that is how he is. Don’t change a person just because you want them changed, there has to be a need for change and direction to wonder how these factors affect a relationship. We bot...

Forgiving and forgetting.

Many times in your life there are people that hold a very special place in your heart. Cutting cords is something I have never thought about until I started my spiritual journey. Do you have a friend you have known all your life? Do you keep the friendship going because you have known them forever? You might grow apart and distance yourself, but that nagging feeling keeps you in that friendship circle.   Cutting cords is hard with blood relatives and friendships, but are they serving you? Is it time to relinquish the guilt and subservience of their friendship and know that the time has come to think about yourself first? Do you need them in your life? Start with that, think about what happiness they bring to you. Think about if they are there for you when you need someone to call on or are they just a fair-weather friend? Spiritualism has no bounds with the way we are when someone is hurting you. You may just be a shoulder for somebody to use and abuse yo...

Worldly possibilities

How many people wonder what life has in store for them? Are there certain destinies to behold or how do I put it, explanations in life that cannot be told? For I am one of those people that judged and belittled what was not my belief. Somehow that made sense to me and spiritual reclusiveness was part of the package for me. My life consisted of having a wonderful upbringing, living in the suburbs of Melbourne with my family and enjoying the simple things in life. I was not a religious person nor was my family. Pretty much Atheism was what we all believed in. I did attend an Anglican school for my education but was not aware of how religion would play a part in the school curriculum. During Religious Education, I remember being perplexed and bored. I would not listen and hardly remember anything that my teacher taught me.      If I had been brought up in a different family with religious beliefs, then maybe there would be a different outcome. Wh...
