Soul Mates

It doesn’t rain very often in San Diego.

Winter is also not quite what I grew up with in the midwest.  That’s what makes rainy morning snuggling so exquisite.  Now I know that the special magic of those first few kisses and the electricity of those first expressions of intimacy are breath taking and intoxicating.

But I am here to tell you, when I scootch over and glue myself to my sleeping husband…the spooner to his spoonee, there is nothing better.  This morning I am extra grateful for my sweet heart and it is not just because he turned over and wrapped his arms around me for a precious 15 minutes before we got up.

Lar and I have been through our share of challenges in our short marriage.  Both of us have had some health and personal challenges.  We, like many baby boomers, are readjusting our vision and our dreams due to the new economy.

Yes, the first few weeks of our relationship were filled with stolen kisses and passionate embraces and other x-rated fun.  But when all is said and done, once our biology calmed itself and we settled into the delicious rhythm of our daily routine, the gentle unfolding of our relationship has brought deep satisfaction.

Don’t get me wrong, the strolls on the Italian Riviera, beach walks in Hawaii and cocktails on the fantail of a cruise ship are beyond fabulous.  I am deeply grateful for our good fortune and travel experiences.  However, the best part of my life with Lar is the day to day companionship.

I love how free I am to be myself.  I love how I feel when I am with him.  I love planning our days together.  I love how involved he is in his own interests.  I love when I am home alone and he is out and about.  I love when we are on the couch, fire lit, he with his paper, me writing this post.

I love rainy morning snuggling.

I am a Facebook Fan.

And while I meet the best people, clients and friends, from all over the world, none is more fascinating than Catherine Behan. That’s right…Catherine Behan. The other Catherine Behan lives across the country, three time zones away and yet she is a relative of my husband.

A Behan by birth, Catherine is media relations manager for the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and is a media relations professional with more than twenty years experience as a daily newspaper reporter and media representative for political campaigns and in higher-education.

She also has a Facebook Soul Mate Reunion story that you will love.

Listen in as Catherine shares her Happily-Ever-After!

Attention: Snow Whites, Rapunzels, Sleeping Beauties and Scarlett O’Haras,

When Monica wrote to tell me she was pregnant, I was shocked and thrilled for her. At 42, She had broken 7 engagements before meeting her soul mate on a blind date nearly 18 months after her Saboteur was transformed. Today she has a two month old princess of her own and her dreams are coming true. A Scarlett through and through, amazing magic happened when she used these tools!

Could your dreams be the next to come true? It is true that your Inner Saboteur has manifested singleness for you with amazing ease and power. Think about it, even though you have been craving True Love for all of these years….your Inner Saboteur has kept you single. What would be possible for you if your Saboteur was working with you to FIND your partner instead of PUSHING HIM AWAY. It worked for Monica and it worked for me too.

Knowing your True Love Saboteur Style may just be the ticket!

Would you believe one of these four characters holds the key to your Soul Mate Destiny.If you are still single and not happy about it, take the time to skim this info.

You are manifesting a single life…like it or not, that is the truth of the matter. The part of you that is making sure you stay single is your Inner Saboteur.

Ironically, your Saboteur thinks that the risk of New Love is way more painful than being alone. What does that mean? You either undermine every potential relationship before it has a chance to grow or you abandon the relationship before he abandons you.

So why Snow White, Rapunzel, Scarlett and Sleeping Beauty? There are four Saboteur styles and I categorize them with imaginary characters to personalize them a bit.

This is not an evil force living inside you heart breaking your heart at every turn (even though it feels like that a lot of the time.)

No, this is a sensitive and caring part of you who just wants exactly what you want….TO BE LOVED AND FEEL HAPPY. That’s it.

Your Saboteur can be won over and recruited to help you attract True Love. Wouldn’t it be nice if your path to love was easier and more fun?

Once you know your Saboteur style, you can make a Soul Mate Attraction Plan with some real teeth. Each style has it’s own preferences and strengths.

Heck, she has been manifesting your singleness all these years and KNOWS how to get what she wants. Convince her to work with you instead of against you and some real magic will happen.

You have a strong inner concept of life as a single….it is all you have known for years. What if your very self sabotage habits could lead to True Love?

Just click the link at the bottom of this post and you will have instant mp3 download in your hands.

Curious? This recording will teach you about the Four Saboteur Styles, how you can recognize which you might be and how to convince your Saboteur that you really don’t want to be single anymore.

It happened for me and I am sharing the tools I discovered on my way so you can attract True Love once and for all.

The Answer May Surprise You.

Hi Soul Mates,

New Years Resolutions: 2010

by Ton Pascal

Your New Years resolutions on December 31, 2009 will be more powerful than a super nova. Their vibration will surpass space and time and land at the feet of God.

Only once in every 20 years, the blue moon appears on New Year’s Eve, as it will this year. On a plain physical level what is happening is that the moon is out of phase with the days. For it to make its complete cycle it’s about 29.5 days. It doesn’t coincide with our month, and that’s why it is out of sync with our Julian calendar. It’s the occurrence of two full moons in one month, which happens every two years, hence the popular quotation “once in a Blue Moon” which means ‘not very often.’ On average, there will be 41 months that have two Full Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon actually means once every two-and-a-half years.

On December 31, 2009, we have a Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse. On a spiritual level it is as if it asks us to ‘flash forward’ into the next two years to see what we can see. This is the most important New Years Eve we have ever been gifted in a long time. No matter how much you do not believe prophecy from time and earth, it will still affect your energy field and your choices.

Someone suggested this exercise to me and I am glad to pass it forward. This New Years Eve 2009 create an I AM TEMPLATE, an energetic road map into the next two years. Command the energies into a direction that serves the better good on all levels of your life. Ask the Light/Angels/Divine Spirit/God/ to release what still pushes your buttons and pulls your strings.
Release the pettiness between you and others, the green-eyed energy that sucks your light. 

 

Release the anger that drains you of your strength, just keeping it alive.

Release the expectations you have of others, as they ride their own horse of a different color.

The I AM TEMPLATE consists of an eternal circle
.

First, draw the large circle repeating the words I LIVE IN A PLACE OF PLENTY.

Second, on the inside of the circle place everything you plan on creating in the next

two years.

Put down all of your dreams, aspirations, wants, needs, as well what you want for the planet.

On the outside of the Circle write everything you are choosing to release. Release all that does not serve your highest good any longer. Be specific in those releases.

On New Years Eve bless the ‘I AM Template’ and then burn it, releasing its ashes like a sacred prayer on smoke.

This December 31, 2009, Partial Lunar Eclipse is numerically a 7/11 (#9) vibration

Cosmic and personal completion! Entering the next level of love of heart, of soul and service to the planetary evolution through healing self. Free-falling from the height of the nine into the next level of Light. Entry and exits all in the same breath. A quantum leap into unknown gifts comes through the nine. Are you ready to see and be more than you are at this minute of time? Nine is the photo finish on the heavenly line of multiple choices. If you believe you have won, you have.

Your New Years resolutions on 12/31/2009 will be more powerful than a super nova. Their vibration will surpass space and time and land at the feet of God.

Be careful what you pray for, as it will come to past.

Posted via email from catherine’s posterous

I just finished watching the Tivo’d broadcast of the final performances on America’s Got Talent. I suppose there was a time when I would have not admitted that out loud, much less in the blogosphere, but now, reality TV has become a part of my life and is no longer a “guilty” pleasure.

I was recovering from a serious illness during the season that David Cook won American Idol and I still clearly remember the impact of those weekly performances.  continue

“You could always fill out those annoying coupons and subscribe her to fifteen magazines,” Dan chirped in his forever positive voice.

“That’s not helpful,” Molly sniped at him. He reached over to pull her into a hug. She was stiff in his arms. “I just can’t understand it.” she sighed “How can she not have anything good to say….even now….especially now.”

“Come here, darlin’, let it go…let it go.” In his arms, she let herself soften and receive his love….

It had been a phenomenal day. Her composition had been selected and she was booked at Carnegie Hall! The dream of a life time, well at least her life time, she had seen herself on stage at Carnegie Hall, the crowd on its feet applauding like fiends, ever since she was a little girl. And now, after all the years, tears and trauma it was happening.

Molly bought flowers from the street vendor, got an expensive red from the Wine Cellar (her favorite shop) and a couple of beautiful New York strips from the Italian butcher shop. It was time for a celebration, and she couldn’t wait to get home to tell Dan.

He didn’t disappoint. “Baby, I am so proud of you!” He picked Molly up and spun her around. “I know how hard you have worked for this.” Burying her head in his shoulder she whispered, “I love you so much…so much.”

“Let’s crack open the cabernet and get this party going,” Dan said. “Did you let your mom know?” “I sent her an email.” Molly said. “Haven’t heard back from her yet, but look what the mom of one of my students sent me.” She ran to the computer and pulled up an email. “Read this!” she said excitedly:

“You HAVE to teach at the University level, a composition class! – God has given you an amazing gift, and the beauty of your music is getting deeper and deeper. What a story teller you are with the piano. You can take any of your pieces and in any scenario whatsoever and take your listener through the different emotions- -anywhere from rage to love, from tears to forgiveness. No holds barred. You really need to be on national television.”

Dan beamed with pride. “That’s terrific, honey!” And lifted his wine glass to toast her!

“Uh-oh” she said, “There is an email from my mom.”

“Don’t open it right now, Baby, just wait for awhile.”

“No,” Molly took a deep breath and clicked the email link, “I want to see what she has to say about my news.”

“Darling, I still feel the phrasing would be better in the twentieth bar if you changed the chording the way I suggested. I don’t know if I will be able to be at Carnegie, but I will see what I can do. Nice job!”

Shoulders slumping, it was as if she imploded, something on the inside of her collapsing and pulling all the celebration into an ancient black hole in her heart. Again. No matter how hard she worked, her mom always found the one weak spot and shined a bright light on it.

“How can she not congratulate me? I’ll never be good enough for her.”

“We could hire a thug and duct tape her to a street sign.” Dan tried to nudge her sense of humor.

“That’s not funny, Dan, I am trying to feel sorry for myself here!” And laughed in spite of herself. He was so cute!

“You know what really pisses me off?” Molly asked. “The fact that I am forty bleepin’ four years old and I still wilt like a violet in the desert when she criticizes me.”

“Why are you so hurt, darlin?” Dan said gently.

“Because she should care how I feel.” She said quietly.

“Why?”

“How else can I know she loves me?”

“I love you.” He whispered “And I am so proud of you. Your students love you and now there are hundreds of people who are going to love you when you perform at Carnegie.”

“I know,” Molly sighed. “You are right. Besides, I am proud of me! I had the best day of my life and I will not let any lame email steal that from me!”

“That’s the spirit!” Dan cheered. “Now let’s grill those steaks and get this party started.”

Snuggling in to her favorite spot in the nook of his shoulder she kissed his neck. “I don’t know what I would do without you, baby.”

Overcoming perfectionism is a bitch. Age old patterns of meticulously planning and executing projects to make sure every T is crossed and i is dotted drive like a cruel slave master. If you have a family member who callously brushes over your fabulous achievements, I feel your pain and I have a word of advice.

Use the pain. That is right. Use the pain. Take a breath and acknowledge the pain in you for a change and stop focusing on the person who “caused” the pain. A fantastic tool to use in moments like this is to journal conversationally using both hands.

What you say? Yes – both hands. Starting with your dominant hand, write this questions: “Why does this hurt so much?” then switch to your non-dominant hand and write whatever comes to your mind. You will be surprised how impactful this exercise can be.

When you write with your non-dominant hand, you actually “stretch” out your experience with the pain and you get to prove to yourself that you can handle it and move beyond it. Molly’s mom didn’t mean to hurt her daughter. Who knows why she was unable to celebrate with Molly?

Molly can make choices to grow through her need for her mom’s approval and change the dynamics of the relationship herself. While her mom may never say just the right thing, she can see that as a itty bitty blip on the radar of life, if she chooses! We’re proud of you, Molly and……break a leg!

She slipped off her shoes and tossed the keys into the dish.  Her cat rubbed itself in between her ankles forcing her to stop in her tracks. “Misty!” she grumbled, “Stay out of the way!”  The cat ran off with a short meow.  Gathering the mail and magazines, she poured herself a glass of wine and thought how glad she was that her husband wasn’t going to be home for a couple of hours.

Absentmindedly, she paged through Oprah magazine, sipping her chardonnay.  Her forgiving cat jumped up on her lap and nudged her hand with its head, begging for a scratch.  Once again, she pushed her pet aside, closed the magazine and sank into her thoughts.

“Why is it so hard?” a tear formed in her eye and made its way down her cheek.  “What happened to the us we used to be?”  Remembering the ease of their early days, the romance and passion that overflowed everywhere causing their friends and family to drool with jealousy made the tears fall faster.

She had been sure this time.  Sure that he was different.  Sure that she was ready. Sure that this was happily ever after. continue
