A Journey through Love

Last updated on: October 27, 2015 at 1:12 pm By Mastura Debra Graugnard

As I sat down to write, there were so many themes and quotes circling my head. As I took a deep breath and asked the Divine to guide me through His mercy and compassion to the perfect themes and words, one word remained: LOVE! And these two quotes: “F.L.Y. First love yourself, others will come next.” And a favorite from Rumi: “Love is the bridge between you and everything.” I invite you to join me on a journey with these quotes as our guide. Read more

Fear of Feeling (part 2)

Last updated on: October 25, 2015 at 7:55 am By Mastura Debra Graugnard

Emotions can be uncomfortable. If you’ve been conditioned to believe it’s not ok to feel this type of discomfort, you probably get hit with a flurry of voices and beliefs as soon as you begin to feel. “You have to keep it together.” “Stay in control.” “Don’t be a wimp!” “Don’t get sad. Get angry!” “Don’t get mad. Get even!” But don't kill the messenger. Your body has something to say to you. Read more

In our minds, we might think we can’t define the undefinable. But we’re human. That’s what we do, even when we try not to. The mind thinks, the heart feels, the body reacts. Take a minute to ponder this question. Even write down your impressions. What pictures come up? What thoughts, faces, voices? What feelings? What associations do you make with the word God?
