Ladies Night
19 June 2012
What the kick ass women do
When powerful woman meets another powerful woman
They are great friends and sisters
Woman has a natural touch of sensuality and sensitivity
Remember like attracts like
Aspiration to be ourselves
Openness to share deeply
What is current priority and upcoming plans
We all generously support each other emotionally and mentally
A night
That we appreciate
Who we are
All in all
Life must be fun
My sister cooked me a lovely lunch
Simple yet fully satisfied
Besides lunch appreciation
What came as a surprise
Is a card
Message from her heart
It must not be easy
A late awakening and apology
For how my emotional maturity
Has been a true blessing to her
For all the unconditional love and support
In total acceptance of who she is
And what I believe she could possible be
Sometimes ~
In a family love
Nothing has come as easy
Do not take love for granted
It applies in any love and relationship
It requires an extra mile of acceptance and understanding
That must be a reason why we are in a family relationship
Ultimately
It's the love that counts
Love inspires and moves souls
From the deepest level
You know ~
When you truly love
It transforms life
I do not know
How to be or do otherwise
Only unconditional love that lasts
I live very much in the present moment
I give thanks for the present experience
Life
Is now
Message to a dear friend & sister
Almost 2 years
Your indecision
Your out of focus
Your non-professionalism
Has dragged your energy
to the different direction
And you are blinded by
looking for love in the wrong direction
Until recent catching up with you
Knowing that you are looking for inspiration
Underneath
You are hiding and meeting someone
you know coming to your life
for a reason
But all the happenings are surprise
You are blinded by a match
You are swept off the floor by a fool
You are hiding
You are covering up
You are not ready to listen and accept advice
You are slowly investing your heart
for the love interest
that is beyond your control
If you are 18
Then this is part of growing up experience
Now you are at your early fifties
What a funny experience you want
Have you ever asked yourself
What is your soul lesson?
What are you fearful of?
What are you covering up?
What is it that you are not seeing and hearing?
What is it that is blocking you?
Love interest
In the wrong direction
Will only create pain
What are you covering up?
Give yourself some time
For awakening
For clarity
For a bigger why
Find your way home
Wishing you well
Because
You are my dear friend and sister
I wish you real happiness & fulfillment
that you deserved
Beautiful Sunday
My sister cooked for me
What a wonderful lovely lunch
I am the luckiest person
With much appreciation
For her unconditional love
Something that will always
keep us close at heart
Balance Sunday
Completed with yoga
and deep meditation
To prepare for an exciting week to come
Live in the present moment
Breath deep
For the last 1 week
The resistance I encountered
Is beyond what my body could cope
I fall sick suddenly
Clients love the proposals
From no budget to no response
And many different expectation and requests
Make it hard to believe
Rejection is part of resistance
Meeting with one big boss from family business
His ego is mountain high
His money is mountain high
His vision is mountain high
His winning is a must
Would rather let him shine
What a pity
His soul is crying for help
Somehow need to hide his fear and insecurity
Only if he is willing and seeking
Rejection is part of resistance
Resistance
Is a clear sign
I am working the wrong direction
I am going against the river
For a worthy goal
I will persist
Otherwise
I will accept
And let go
Time to listen to my body
Heal now
And
Courage to say NO
Be true to myself
