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!

Wake Up Love

The Love we need now

Is love that is unspoken

We feel so energized when we are noticed

Not the attentions that you would think

Like the big awards or the new things we can have

It is in the conversations, where both people can look each other in the eye

It is in the meals shared, that were prepared together and eaten together

It is in the leftovers that you cannot wait to eat

Unopened Gifts

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, love, originist, self love, truth, honesty, self growth, compassion on Nov 19th, 2007 No Comments »

Finally a day to say

To remind ourselves

To remember

To speak out loud

How do I forgive myself

That is one unopened gift

How do I have compassion for myself

Yet another unopened gift

We speak in life, I have been able to forgive….another

I can now go on

Yet what is forgiveness?

How do you forgive yourself?

To forgive is to say I have not learned

Compassion will speak that you have learned

You see, it is not about forgiveness at all

Forgiveness says that you will overlook and get over something that hurt you

Whether you did it to yourself or to someone else

It is to say, that you have not learned the lesson so you will forgive the action

And then what?

Do you just go on forgiving forever and not going further as to why you are doing it or allowing someone else to do it to you?

Compassion to yourself, to others, to say, Yes, this happened, whatever it is, and we will learn from it

Compassion to understand the motives, the reasons and to say, I understand why you did this

Is there another way to get what you need

Without hurting yourself or others

In teaching children

There are three rules of discipline to follow

Don’t hurt yourself

Don’t hurt others

Don’t damage or destroy property

That is truth for all of us

If we don’t hurt ourselves, we actually do not have a need to hurt others

Damaging or destroying property is usually a byproduct of being hurt

When we forgive ourselves or others we are acknowledging we are hurt or hurt another

Compassion is the step after, we can’t just stop at forgiving

Compassion reminds us of the human part, the part where we gain self understanding and love

With words like

I know you didn’t mean that

I know you are hurt already

I can see now your intentions are good for me, or maybe they are not

Is this a safe place for me to grow

Or is this teaching me this is not the place for me to stay and learn of life

Forgiveness is like a power play or relief button

Compassion finds a soulution, and landing place, a mutual caring for what results in what has happened

Compassion is the way to get past anyone having to forgive anything

It is the place where we learn why, not just what

Where we see motivation rather than action only

Where we grow within ourselves, then someone else

Self accounting, self love, growth

It all starts in the solutions, not in the answers

Anyone can say yes or no

Yet the parts that say why are the growths

The parts that say why are the teachers

The moments of discovering are when you can go on and live past those moments

There is a vast difference between forgiveness and compassion

Compassion teaches love and forgiveness gives power to someone to grant it

Compassion soothes and grows and forgiveness is saying, I have forgiven you so many times, now what?

The crutches of living in doing and forgiving

Rather than speaking and learning

Breaks the cycle of not paying attention to yourself with excuses

And brings back the questions you had as a child

Why, is one of the greatest questions any child asks and doesn’t stop until they find out

It is their happiness so that they can go out and play

They already understand that full disclosure is their freedom

Quietly as we “look” so much smarter than them

Look again, there is still an unopened gift under your tree

It is called Self Love

Would You Know You?

Posted in spirituality, self help, self judgement, self love, balance, soul, feelings, self accountability, self trust, self knowledge on Nov 10th, 2007 No Comments »

Who would you be if no one you now know knew you?

What would you say about yourself?

What would you start with?

What would you say your hobby is?

What work you do?

How much you love it?

What it means to you, to your life to do what you do?

How could you see your intentions when you feel like you will die if things don’t go your way?

How flexible are you to change of heart, of mind, when you are challenged?

Do you know who you are with Money and without it?

Are you generous when you are happy?

Are you mean when you are mad?

Do you think about the other persons point of view when you are in a disagreement?

Do you go out of your way to say thank you when you are thankful?

Is expressing yourself in times of argument easy for you?

When someone speaks to you, and tells you an observation of you

Do you get defensive or do you consider that they spoke this to you for good reason?

When you speak to someone, do you consider how you would respond to be spoken to in the same way?

These are a lot of questions

Questions of self definition

Of who you are inside and what it looks like on the outside

People are not blind, and never are we within ourselves

Sometimes it is just a matter of answering your own questions, that reminds you of who you are

Where you are when it comes to dealing with yourself, your life, and if you are just passing time

Or using time to grow your soul, in your truth, without trying to be something you are not yet ready to be

Or standing still too long before you act and then feeling like you can not catch up

Define yourself and you will see better what you are looking for

Wanting that comes from heart, rather than all the other reasons that leave us feeling unfulfilled

Trust in your ability to answer such questions

And Trust the rest will come as you go along

There is not ever only one answer

Yet only one answer will lead you to the rest

Who would you be if no one you now know knew you?

Tell yourself out loud as though you were speaking to another

Hear your words and find your truth in them

It is already there, waiting for you to notice

It is simply time to take on more of you

We always know when

It is just that we can’t start anything

Without actually starting

Start with the questions and your mind will do the rest

All you need to do is plant the seed

Imagine meeting you

Would you know you?

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

Bring Me A Higher Love

Posted in inspirational, love, self help, originist, self love, truth, soul, self accountability, purpose, higher self on Oct 29th, 2007 No Comments »

Your higher self is talking

And you speak to it that it is not possible

That you are not good enough or strong enough to be that person

Your higher self tells you you are that person

And you should at the very least try

That you have nothing to lose

That even an embarrassing moment is a story of truth to speak about in love

Your higher self is you without boundaries and limits

That only you can put in and only you can release

Your higher self is your capability

Your ability

Neither of which know the word NO

Imagine if the word NO did not exist

Boy would the freedom of our souls be happy!

There would be no answer that can not be had

There would be a way to find to do almost anything you thought of

Capability just means to know

Ability means to try

To know and To try

To see if it is yours to grow more with

Or to let it take you to something else

Your higher self is your purpose

Not broken down into smaller parts,

It is the sum of the smaller parts that build you up to it

It is a higher love to see your higher self

And a soul that says I will because I can and I can because I will

Anything less than that is because you really don’t want it yet

I say yet, because the day will come to you

That you can see yourself do it

And it will find a path, an avenue or a bridge

To take you there

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

Nevermind Why, Simply Do What Is Right

Posted in self help, self love, helping others, truth, soul, feelings, self accountability on Oct 15th, 2007 No Comments »

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

It doesn’t take explanation to do what is right

To do what makes things better

To say what needs to be said

Either side of the coin

When things are tough, tell the truth

When things are not, tell the truth

There is no sense in creating stories to make things seem more exciting

The excitement is in how much you love it, telling it that way

And giving someone else a chance to live it with you too

We always think everything has to be bigger, better or worth hearing

That we have to have a punchline or a reason for saying something

It is so much simpler than that

Tell the truth from your heart

And your heart will do the rest

When there is a moment where telling the truth

Is something you do not want to do

It has nothing to do with the other person at all

Ask yourself, why is it that you feel like you can not?

Why is your safety an issue?

Is your self esteem unable to accommodate truth?

Is lying something you want to carry around?

Do you want to create distance between you and the other person?

Do you not have respect for yourself enough to simply speak and grow on?

Do you prefer the dramas of lying that cause you to not trust others?

Most who do not tell the truth

Think others are lying

Are the ones who accuse others of doing things, being things they are not

Do not like to discuss details

Nor do they enjoy the fruits of self accountability

They are the ones who fear their positions

Their posts in life

That their charminess will wear out

That their cover will be blown

That maybe they are a fraud altogether

They will claim to have everything under control,

As if they had to

They will tell you how great they are

As if you needed to hear that

When someone speaks with their heart

they even allow for those who don’t

Time to speak, and hear themselves talk

Simply because they already believe they will speak from the heart

And when they find out that is not what is happening

They start feeling used, without words or actions yet

As time passes and you are in a relationship

You start to realize that the other person doesn’t pay attention to you the way you do to them

That when THEY are happy you are OK, when THEY are NOT, you are in Trouble

The balance shifts to their moods and the one with heart accommodating the one who speaks in exaggerations of truth and you are left realizing that maybe you have chosen a person who lives in the illusions of their truth and it all is not so real

Getting to know another person is for these reasons alone

Is this a person you can depend on

Does this person bring you peace and joy

Warmth or comfort

Or are you more fractured with them and more whole without them

A job, a friend, a partner, a spouse

All the souls who find their way to us

Teach us who we are by what we do not accept from them

They Hone us into speaking up

Fighting for our own souls

Making our way without questions as to what is right or wrong,

however, what we are RIPE enough to learn

We can only learn what we are ready for

And others may serve as a catalyst for such learning’s

Or there may be a soul we are meant to share much more of ourselves with and life with

We try to make everything “forever”

yet there is no time

There is a bigger picture

And some things are meant to teach us for a moment

And others are meant to carry us for a lifetime

Accept life for the challenges it gives you

And you will see that life will always have a challenge for you

It will always always remain and be

Your level of understanding

And your willingness to learn that will carry you

Once you can see that

The turmoil’s of what to do, how to be, what to say, and what not to say are already answered

Our energy proceeds us

And we speak without speaking words

Trust in the bigger picture of our purpose can carry you through the moments of indecision

Clairty of your purpose

Knowledge of your soul

Understanding that you are not meant to be everywhere at once

Gives you the basis and understanding that you WANT to be where you at least choose to be

And the places you choose to be will allow you to experience them whole

Choose Love

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
