This is perfect.

Very warm in OZ and if were near a beach I would jump right in. 🙂

Loaf what’s for dinner. 🙂

@southernlights55,

I am glad Bear was with you on your getaway. 🙂 I love the moon it affects me in a good way. 🙂
Wishing you a great day in the Lakes. I love the retro look it always comes back. 🙂 You have
great taste. That look is still cool.

Revealing Your True Self

Our true selves exist whether we acknowledge them or not, often buried under learned behavior.

Identity is an elusive concept. We feel we must define ourselves using a relatively small selection of roles and conscious character traits, even if none accurately represents our notion of “self.” The confusion surrounding our true natures is further compounded by the fact that society regularly asks us to suppress so much of our emotional, intellectual, and spiritual vibrancy. Yet we are, in truth, beings of light–pure energy inhabiting physical bodies, striving for enlightenment while living earthly lives. Our true selves exist whether we acknowledge them or not, often buried under fears and learned behavior. When we recognize our power, our luminosity, and our divinity, we cannot help but live authentic lives of appreciation, potential, fulfillment, and grace.

At birth and throughout your childhood, your thoughts and feelings were more than likely expressions of your true self. Though you may have learned quickly that to speak and act in a certain fashion would win others’ approval, you understood innately that you were no ordinary being. There are many ways you can recapture the authenticity you once articulated so freely. Meditation can liberate you from the bonds of those earthly customs that compel you to downplay your uniqueness. Also, communing with nature can remind you of the special role you were meant to play in this lifetime. In order to realize your purpose, you must embrace your true self by letting your light shine forth, no matter the consequences.

Rediscovering who you are apart from your roles and traits takes time and also courage. If, like many, you have denied your authenticity for a long while, you may find it difficult to separate your true identity from the identity you have created to cope with the world around you. Once you do find this authentic self, however, you will be overcome by a wonderful sense of wholeness as you reconcile your spiritual aspect and your physical aspect, as well as your inner- and outer-world personas. As you gradually adjust to this developing unity, your role as a being of light will reveal itself to you, and you will discover that you have a marvelous destiny to fulfill.

Cherie,

Good Morning in Cali. Did the kids enjoy Toy Story 4? I am pretty sure Mom had a great
birthday if anything your family knows how to party. 🙂

Cherie I will always remember Mcpoopoo and what I liked most about her was her gentleness.

Things are in gear for you and family getting ready soon to hit the road. 🙂 You are so welcome
I love doing that for your mom. I think you could tell I was dealing with two different emotions.

You and Captain have a great day. Let the kids play Pokemon and run around. LOL!
Surf’s up. 🙂

@shoelady60,

Good Morning in the Burgh. 🙂 I hope you are getting some rest and enjoying Jake.
God Bless Your Mom. 🙂 My mom’s birthday is this weekend and all my siblings are
doing something special for her. 🙂

I know the weather is nice there I love the East. 🙂 Have a tall glass of tea and a good book
with Jake by your side and what can be better. 🙂

@bichon18,

Good Morning to you and Jerry. I don’t like coyotes we had one in our backyard.
I do walk when it’s dark not real late but dark I think I better carry something as well.
We have Foxes and Coyotes Poppy is a small dog. I better adjust my schedule.

Please be safe and keep those sticks or whatever you need just in case. Amy our Mcpoopoo

to post in the mornings. Loaf and Mcpoopoo lived in the same City but never met.

Yes, she was a very nice lady just like you. 🙂 Be careful in the heat hugs to little Ari from
Poppy and me keep him close. 🙂

@loaf,

Good Morning in the Rock and Roll City. I am pretty sure your hands are full with your
grandson relax in the garden and let him do the work. 🙂 I still think he is so funny. 🙂
The things you could write about him later when he is older.

Loaf how is your husband? I am hoping you have good weather and not too hot.
Is the cat still in your daughter’s sink? LOL! I know that is a sight to behold.

Loaf enjoy the day. 🙂
