I'm doing 23 things
we would go somewhere where there were no people around. a big resort or the coast where theres lots of land to get lost in. we would pack minimal stuff. in the morning we would rise and bask in our jammies, have coffee together, whisper everything for the first hour we were up like two little girls devising secret plans in their own world. when we were done relishing that we would shower dress grab our picnic basket, go to the local market and pick just enough for the day, like manna. fresh fruits, cheese, waters, deli,and chocolate. we would head for a perfect spot. throw out a big blanket, spread out like lazy lions and paint the sky with our dreams, thoughts, fears, questions, secrets, inspirations and we would pour our selves out there together into the big blue sky, just she, God, and i. we would talk ourselves sleepy and take a nap, wake up and feast on our picnic. then we would go for a long walk, picking up treasures we found along the way. she would tell me her newest deepest secret and i would tell her mine. we would bask in our safety, our comraderie, our connection. we would rub each others feet with reflexology when we sat to rest. we would laugh and cry in the same hour. we would sit silently together and listen to Him talk to us, completely content and comfortable with the silence as few are. we would do this and many other things just like back in our first days together when we did and yet didnt know how truly special this was. it would be just like the old days. just as young in our hearts again as our spirits first were so long ago. time has not been kind to us but He is faithful. we trust in that and all the days he would give and will give in the future. for He is good..always.

How I did it: basically, i learned this the hard way......this came only by sheer trial and error. I didnt look at it as learning at the time.....it felt like hell but pretty soon i started realizing things about this that made me embrace the process....... Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was listening to JM one morning talk about how she had heard God telling her to give away things that other people admired and how at first it was diffucult but only at the first, that there was a hidden blessing in it that she became joined to and made it a way of life......i decided that i wanted to discover this hidden gift and so i said so to God, and sure enough, the first time somone admired somthing i had, i felt stirring in… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was so touched by a message i heard on Jesus' 40 days in the desert that i wanted to go there with him and understand. It was during a very unhealthy time for me phisically, as i was going through blood infusions with a hemotologist and recieving z-lines to boost my bottemed out hemoglobin levels that had me barely standing much less alive. I asked God to bless me and give me the strength to do it....after much prayer, i chose… Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
many people i have known have decorated their pain with things….a pretty house, pretty clothes, prestigiousness…they constantly cover the pain that rises up to the surface with new things…..i dont want to be like this. i want to be brave enough to strip down to the bare and get at the things hurting me…..touch them and work through them….pretty things are pretty things…but they dont heal…..in fact, if they cover up the pain..it just grows…like cancer under a bandaid.
if you live in your past…
if you worry about your future…
if you are in bondage to other peoples opinions of you…
if you take everyones stress personally…
if you fall apart when someone looks at you the wrong way…
if you allow yourself to feel defeated by a poor self image…
if you are ruled by compulsive behavior…
if you feel guilty for saying no for the right reasons…
if you are paralyzed by fear…
if you have a history of destructive relationaships…
if you are an approval addict…
if you say yes to any of these…you are killing yourself…only very slowly.
stop the madness.
