The first rule of love is

Not to forget is exists

We try so hard to find it

We over look it and then laugh later about how it was there all the time

The second rule of love

Is to enjoy it

Love doesn’t get you down

It guides you

Love tells you who you are

When you choose someone to love

There is always always something in them that is in you

Or you couldn’t see it in them

So when you meet people and you are attracted to them

Know it is the similarities that you both have that you could see

And you can only love another as much as you love yourself

And you can only allow another to love you as much as you love you

So if your love doesn’t go too deep

Then don’t expect a relationship to

We expect so much from love

When we don’t know what to ask of it

As though it should know for us

And then lead us to bliss

Love is as active as you are

As slow as you are

As honest as you are

As forthright as you are

Love is always here

Available and ready

Until you tell it what to do,

Where to go

Who to share you with

So the next time you find yourself

All excited and happy

Don’t wait for love to tell you what to do

It is waiting for you

To steer it and bring you to who you are

Love is so simple that it scares me to realize

How little we know of it after all of this time

I still wait for it to notice me

But really it was just how little we know of ourselves

To notice it’s waiting at the gate!

What A Spoon Can Tell You

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, self help, love, relationships, originist, selflessness, truth, purity, soul, self accountability, higher self, marriage, self knowledge, honesty, self growth on Nov 12th, 2007 No Comments »

When you walk past the sink, and it is clean

Are you the person who drops the spoon in

Or are you the one that walks by and cleans it

Do you only wash it if someone else is there

or do you leave it for someone else to take on your work

Are we really getting away with anything when we try not to do something

We try so hard to get out of this, get out of that

It is the truth as it is

You either do or you don’t

Some wait until the sink is full

And others wash and dry as they go

Some keep the Oh I have to do this, to do that, before I can relax

When cleaning up as you go along

Cleans up your mind as you think along, speak to another, or even watch a program on TV

That spoon really tells its own story

Do you hold onto your stuff

Do you let it go

Do you take things on right off

Or do you wait until you have piled up so much stuff inside

And you keep waiting for the day to clean it all up at once

Do you just eat your best everyday

Or are you the one who will diet tomorrow and eat everything in sight today?

Are you a planner or does everything all of a sudden happen to you?

Each of these types of people, they are all of us

Trying to say one thing when we are another is our biggest bluff

And the blaming of others, for who we are, has also been the bigger bluff

Once you clean up as you go along

You are just telling yourself the truth as you live your life

and those who threw it in and walk right by it

Are the pilers of everything else

They will not tell you first off what they actually mean

And they will only come clean when they are caught

And maybe not even then

Start washing the spoon in the clean sink

And you will find, you start finishing all the little things that start to take on weight much sooner

When you walk by, stop yourself and remind yourself it is your job too

No using others for you

and you will stop running from tasks and either decide to do them or not

Honesty isn’t so far away

It is as simple as a dirty spoon, you either clean it or you don’t

Love isn’t so far away

You either share it or you don’t

Truth is always around

And Purity is the cleanliness of your soul

Clean the spoon, Clear your mind, and go on to the next thing

Clutter is man made, not a natural part of us

Clean purifies as you cleanse

Cleansing is the weightlessness of our days, our thoughts, and how we are with others

Anything else is the delaying of our self love, until we finish all our tasks that we walk by

The Music Of Love

Posted in spirituality, inspirational, love, relationships, originist, self love, selflessness, truth, purity, emotional, balance, soul, feelings, purpose, self trust, higher self, marriage on Nov 5th, 2007 No Comments »

One day we wake up singing

A song to a happy tune

Without a prompt or a reason

Without music or noise

Only the excitement of seeing you

Today we are getting married

Saying Yes to each other

without further ado

Love is the trail we followed

Learned each other in safety and grew

Let our ugly find itself, showed it to you

You said, Hey that’s OK

I am still here for you

I learned me through you

You told me the truth

You speak to me, it is not only you

It is you and me, and we are two

There is strength in numbers

When the two are in truth

Someone to say to you

this works for me too

Love is not a show

or does it come with a map

Love’s design is to teach us

And build life without holes, without traps

It is a place of safety

To speak that I am still OK

Even when I don’t feel like it

Even when I am too tired to see my way

One of us is always leading

Learned partnership that way

Each day is an open conversation

Of all we can share and build, a story page by page

Nothing comes all at once

It would leave us dry and bored

Love comes in surprises

Of all we thought it could not be

Love is the surprise of our souls

When it show me, me

The more I can see of me

The more I find in you

The treasures of us as people

And adding the love in there too

Thank you for saying

when you do this it hurts me

It made me see you

and you taught me to care

As you show me how you care for you

I have learned to care for me

I find that the more I learn

I more I understand you

The greater my challenges

that eliminate the feelings of something I can not say

You opened the door of my soul

With your openness to me

You teach me to be

Without trying to be better than me

I realize there is nothing you could want

Other than to tell me the truth

I realize there is nothing I can give

Other than my purity to you

Love is invisible

Yet it is felt in its strength

It is the bond we can not see

Yet the bond of everyday

Love is not a person, a place or a thing

Love is my emotion, that I bring to each day

Love is my compass of where I go, and where I stay

Love is the open ended answer

As many questions as it presents

It is those very questions

Whose answers are fought for

And learned of

That teaches my soul

Its one main purpose

To love, honor, and live

In today, in the present

I stand before myself in completeness

As I see it in you

No fear in growing further

No lines drawn in the sand

No more saying what if….

It is here that I stand

I stand for us

The “us” we have become

The world that we built

With those that we love

The house that we fill

With our everyday of thoughts

The home that we carry

Everywhere we go

Love is not physical

You have taught me

Thank you, my love

My love’s freedom

That I have come to see

Thank you, my love

We are an “us”

And still a “you” and a “me”

A Bottle of Hope

Posted in spirituality, inspirational, new age, love, self help, relationships, originist, self love, selflessness, helping others, truth, purity, balance, soul, feelings, self accountability, purpose, higher self, hope on Nov 2nd, 2007 No Comments »

What does it look like when we have hope

We walk faster

We talk more

We involve others

We try new things

We wear different colors

And we insist on trying until we succeed

We sing to songs

We listen to others

It is not so important that we are “right”

We need less sleep

We don’t over eat

We exercise

And we say good morning

We listen to “happy” music

We dance while we are walking

We see someone who is having a bad day and we say we are sorry

We help someone who needs it

And we accept help when we need it

Hope is the promise of our souls capacity

Hope is the reason we remember why we are alive

Hope is the person who reminds us

That Hope is always nearby

Hope reminds us that love is available

As hope is the purpose of our actions

Whatever it is that we hope for,

We are in hope when we feel promise

Promise of ourselves in our highest honor

Honor of actions and what they may mean

Hope is the rainbow after the rain

The cool drink on a hot day

The right words as you needed them

The smell of something baking while you are asleep

The bath where you actually sit in the water

The moment you walk by someone you haven’t seen in years

The check that comes in the mail you didn’t expect it

The willingness to understand if something doesn’t work out

Hope is the basis, the reason

That we have an incentive to grow on

To say I’ll try

To change directions

And to know ourselves well enough to say no when we are stretching ourselves too thin

Hope is not being scared when the check is not in the mail

Someone we thought was right for us isn’t and we understand why

And the love of self enough to know all of these things are simply a part of life

Hope is alive as we are alive

Hope is the possibilities of our hearts

Given a forum to test, push and pull the best of ourselves

And find the depth in which we can be

The Space Between You and You

Posted in spirituality, inspirational, self help, new age, love, relationships, originist, self judgement, self love, purity, balance, feelings, self accountability, purpose, self trust on Oct 22nd, 2007 No Comments »

Believe in yourself

And don’t allow yourself not to

Speak your truth

And don’t allow yourself to judge you

Wear what you love

And don’t allow yourself to take away the joy of it

Say you can when you think you can’t

Do what you say you would never be able to

And try foods that aren’t “you”

Go to a movie alone

And buy yourself some popcorn

Treat yourself to a walk

Listen to music that isn’t music you would normally listen to

And you will start seeing that you can adapt

That you can take in and enjoy what is new

That you too can be new

We think our job is to stay who we are

Be who we are

Act like who we are

And whoever said how, what or who we are means?

We are who we think we are, that is who

We are the person who can try things, leave things that aren’t right for us

And build things from simple thoughts in our heads

Believing in ourselves starts with the thoughts of our hearts being acknowledged

And then acted on

And then expanding out of our comfort zone

We are meant to be a little uncomfortable at times,

otherwise we have no stresses to move us along

And we are meant to not be too uncomfortable for then we know what is not right for us

We always know what we believe,

yet we need to trust what we know

and then we can see

That belief is not a trick or for someone else,

Belief is available

And once you believe one thing,

It is so much easier to find other things to believe in

It is the growth of your soul, one step at a time

One moment to another

One decision to do so at a time

How silly it is to say no

When the fight inside wants to say yes

Let the walls of very hard years of keeping them there

know they are on notice

Put your heart on notice

That you will be taking on the walls

and walking around them

We don’t have to wait for a good day

To say we are going to try anything

Today is a moment that you can look in the eye

And say in this moment I want to do something about what I have been thinking

And just see what happens

Believing in yourself doesn’t come easy

Nor cheap at times,

But believing in yourself does bring on an inner glow

One that stands over you, guides you,

When you start to give up or forget why you are trying

Believing in yourself

Leaves the excuses behind

Your Soul Is Not Your Body

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, love, relationships, originist, truth, purity, soul, self accountability, purpose on Oct 19th, 2007 No Comments »

We are trying to tell the world that our body is our soul

We found ways to fill our bodies

Change our bodies

Keep our bodies from aging

Dressing younger or older depending on what we are trying to accomplish

And then if someone is disabled we think they are less or need more help than us

And if they are sick we get scared because it could be us

And if they are dressed ‘better’ than us we actually think they are ’smarter’ than us

And a bigger house only reminds us that we are not as ’successful’

Yet, I am writing this and if you didn’t know me, you wouldn’t know anything about me

All you would hear are my words,

You would feel my feelings for a moment of your life

You would share the love I feel in writing this, as I am writing it

Love doesn’t look like anyone

Love isn’t meant only for some

Love isn’t meant to be looked for

Or “learned” how to be

Love is open and free

Love doesn’t have eyes or ears

Love only has feelings and instinct

Love protects all that comes our way

When we know enough about its freedom to let it

I found by writing that my soul is not my body

My heart is my soul

My body is just the way I get around

And everyone else too

Your body is the car of your soul

It takes your intentions, your thoughts, and it drives them into action

Your body will do anything your soul will ask of it

But your soul can not do anything your body asks of it

I remember most, that I always remember, what it felt like when I left someone

More than what we looked like or where we were

We leave with the emotions

That is why at times when we are not dressed and our guard is down,

Those days, they seem to be the best days we have

We are exempt from the race to be anything

Did you notice you are least shy when you are most open?

We can take a lesson from those of us whose bodies can not do what we do,

And still they are happy

Their secret is the truth of their soul’s exposed

And we too, can learn

To let the body be a part of us and include our soul

It does not have to be one or the other, we simply can understand our purpose better

When we let the truth of us show itself, rather than expecting our love from the outside in

No one can ever walk away from an open heart

Truth is a magnet for its strength

And truth wears no masks!

Choose Love

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, new age, love, self help, relationships, originist, self love, truth, emotional, balance, soul, feelings on Oct 12th, 2007 1 Comment »

To purchase your copy of the newly released book, “Origins of Truth” by Nadia Khalil Bradley, please visit her website at www.originsoftruth.com

Walk away from those who let you down

Walk away from those who do not care that they hurt your feelings

Walk away from those who set you up

From those you know will talk about you if you mess up

Learn to walk away, rather than prove anyone wrong

It only takes your energy into the black hole they have created for you to fall within

You are allowed to say NO

You are allowed to find Love

You are allowed to find peace

You are entitled to enjoy your time

We forget that we can say NO

To what hurts our energy and takes away our speed

That which reminds us of failure rather than our hearts success

We are all as successful as we see ourselves

We are all as weak as we believe others will speak of us

We must remember that those that talk about us

are only doing so from their own weakness and their desire to weaken others with them

So that they will not be alone in the below the radar behaviors they take on

To caste worry, fear and doubt to anothers soul

We must take part in our hearts desire to take care of ourselves

By allowing what we love to enter our thoughts rather than just the one person who keeps finding a way to challenge it

Your challenge is to challenge that energy and realize that anyone who can take you away from you, you need to take yourself away from

You can attempt, however learn from your attempts

And learn that you can run, not walk away, when you begin to understand you are depleting rather than building

That you are not of true benefit to this soul, nor are they to you

That you can learn from each other at a distance

Rather than the closeness that has come to rob you both of yourselves

Love gives

When giving is not present neither is love

Choose Love

And Love will find a way for you

Love is the can opener of every can you have stored in your cabinet

Some have been there for years

Go back and let them open and those that have expired

Accept that they have and go on

That is one of the paths of self love that opens you up to less storage and greater freedom of your soul

Choose your Soul

And there you will find your true movement

Your content

And your willingness to go forward

Blueprint for Life

Posted in spirituality, inspirational, self help, new age, love, relationships, originist, helping others, truth, purity, politics, balance, debt on Oct 8th, 2007 1 Comment »

What we need:

We need a political party that represents both the poor and the rich

We need credit cards that are not designed to keep you in debt

We need mortgages that are simple and clear and no fine print

I am thinking no fine print on the credit cards either

We need less pressure to have more work in a day

And more pressure to balance time to work, sleep, eat, and sit with your family

We need more pressures to complete tasks without so many steps

Be able to have a doctor to go to

Buy all the food that we need

Go to a Library to read

We need more pressure to build our neighborhoods,

Know our neighbors

Say Hello with nothing more to say

We need moments to catch up and rejuvenate

Leaders that we can depend on

Jobs we can grow in

Homes we can keep forever if we want to

We need streets that we all keep clean

Area’s our children can play in without fear within the parent or the child

Homes that aren’t behind iron gates

We need water we can drink

Streets without litter

People not living on streets

Care for those who can not care for themselves

We need to stop the blame

That someone who isn’t ahead does not deserve time or a chance to gain ground

That people who need help are not to be walked by

That people who can help don’t believe it is a choice

We need the love inside of us to not accept what is not working in our lives

We need to hear politics that makes actual sense, without explanation

Without fine print

Without loyalty to any party

However loyalty to US, people

People are a party

People are a race

People are of religion

People need food

People need homes

People need learning institutions

People need each other

People need love

There is no soul on Earth more important than another

When we can come to the thoughts that anyone is here by mistake or isn’t worthy of what People need or want

Then we have lost already

There is no Them, since everyone is a them to someone

There is only an US, since we all share this same place called Earth

It includes US, Animals and Nature

And everything else is only a reflection of our needs, wants and desires

When you look around and find something to complain about

Look around again and find something you can do

That is balance

Pick up trash that you see when you can

Smile to another and remind them WE are here, there is not really a me and a you

Remember that there is no way anyone can do this alone

There is no way any leadership can work without people, nor can people find order without some kind of leadership

We each have a job to do,

We have a job to live and experience and grow

Yet we spend so much time trying not to change, to keep everything the same

Yet nothing is really meant to stay the same

It is meant to evolve and allow itself to find greater growths in each day

Most of our frustrations come when we feel we haven’t done enough

Or we have done too much and no one notices

It is simply important that you notice

You see, if you notice, it can only be shared

And all the sharing of what you see, can only be felt

And feeling drives our actions

And ignites another

Anything can happen

As love finds a way to propel

That is how it is when you are thinking something

And then one day see it on TV,

Or hear another speaking about it

We are one

We hear it, we say it, and we can now learn how to be it

Everything has a blueprint and we are the blueprint of life

Life is the answer to why we are here

Living is how we do it

Awareness is how we know what to do

And love is the fuel of it all

Love is our true leadership

Love is our stem

And Love is our search

Keep loving and you have already begun the movement

The movement of living life as you can dream it

And dream it as your life gives you answers

And answers keep you thriving for more

Emotional Detox

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, love, self help, relationships, originist, self love, helping others, truth, purity, emotional, detox on Oct 5th, 2007 No Comments »

Instead of I can’t do this I will try this new thing

Instead of I won’t go there Go and see what you were missing

Yellow doesn’t look good on me? Wear Yellow

Never gone back and said you are sorry to someone from years ago? Call them now

Your closet need cleaning? Don’t get dressed one morning and just start cleaning it

Wanted to cook and instead are planning to grab something on the run? Cook

Keep thinking of going for a walk? Go and Walk

Keep thinking to plan a get together at your home? Start making phone calls

Love to cook and never have the ingredients? Buy them and stock them, you will always be ready

If there is someone you really love and you have never told them Tell them and expect nothing back

You see it isn’t what you are doing It is what we are not doing to each other It is what we are not saying Not sharing

Cleaning ourselves from the inside out Is to give our soul free reign as to who we are Without shutting out the beautiful parts, always on our way to them

Wash your car Use the bathroom before you leave Say thank you when you normally wouldn’t And I love you to someone you do

Say you made a difference And notice how you do too Let the world you see be noticed by you And the world will find a way to notice you too

Our souls are not our bodies Our souls are our actions Our love that we take the time to do and to share

Our love is all we have When we are far away from love we feel far away from life And when we are far away from life we say we want love

No more saying what we want and acting as though it is not right in our face It is all right in front of our faces, and we are making choices to postpone, not say, not share today, All that makes a difference to our lives

It is the invisible not eating when we are hungry Because we have free will to have a choice How about surprising your will And letting it know how free it is

Don’t Be True to Me, Be True to You

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, new age, love, self help, relationships, originist, self love, selflessness, helping others, truth, purity on Oct 1st, 2007 1 Comment »

You tell me about yourself by what you say you do If you ask me not to tell another something, You ask that of someone else too

If I see you lie to another person You most likely lie to me too

If you wash your hands before you eat I know you wash everything else too

If you are OK with taking something that isn’t yours You will take me for what isn’t yours

If you talk about others Then you talk about me too

You see it isn’t what you confide in me Confidences need not be Open and free is truth Truth doesn’t need an introduction Or a premise or a thought

Truth just is Just was Will always be

You are not any different in front of me Than behind me, when there is truth

We ask of each other many things One thing I ask of myself

To tell you the truth So that you know I am truthful To treat you with respect, Then you know I am respectful

To clean up after myself So that you know to clean up after you To leave you feeling clair So that you know my intentions are clear

You see we learn a lot from each other As we hear, see, and take part of each other And we react to each other from that truth we see

Take part in your life So that you can take part in anothers

Your children don’t hear you as loud as they see you Your friends can see you for what you have done, rather than what you say you have done Your parents know who you are, rather than who they think you are And your heart knows your truth no matter what you try to say

Truth is here It waits for us to be it We wait for us to know it We say we are looking for it, Yet it is here, and you already know of it

So use truth instead of using excuses to evade it Let truth lead you rather than what you want to be truth No need to take non truths and make them true Stop wasting your time Stop taking away from something that is already in front of you And creating drama’s to prove your point

With truth there is no point, there is only acknowledgment Evading truth is like waiting for a train that is not coming Use the clues of your life to bring you to speaking the truth for what it is Because once you are true to you, you can be true to me

Once you start speaking with your heart I want to be in your heart too Once you start cleaning around yourself, I will clean with you Once you cook a meal with clean hands, you will feed everyone

Wash your life with truth and let truth create THE PATH There is not a path, truth is THE PATH Anything else finds a way of leaving us feeling shortchanged and hungry Truth is the breath of our souls And the soul of your breaths As you can share your heart when you feel it’s purity As your purity is the most becoming feature of any of us
