Soul Believer

When Jessica and I started this blog it was supposed to be about love and life and the beauty we find in the everyday.... well, as you may have read, it's been a bit deeper than that over the past few posts. However, now that I am steadily coming out of my slumpy dumpys, I can see that even the slumpy dumpys are beautiful. Because difficult times help us grow into wiser, happier, more self fulfilling beings. I'm not out of the woods just yet, but I am definitely getting there - closer everyday! I credit this largely to a very influential friend who helped me believe that life has a plan. There is so much more waiting out there for me - everything will be OK. I am now venturing on a more spiritual journey to help find my peace and balance. After all, I think Einstein was onto something when he wrote "No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it." That digs deep within me and gives me hope. It makes me excited to learn more about myself and help others around me. "When your heart is undefended, you make it safe for whomever you meet to put down his burden of hiding, and then you both can walk through the open door."

Lastly... I recommend you read "Broken Open" but Elizabth Lesser. If anyone is feeling or has felt lost, confused, sad, frustrated, etc... read this book. It is giving me a lot of inspiration. She refers to us all as "Bozos on the Bus". Ie, to take life less seriously. We are all hardwired imperfectly and to make mistakes. Embrace them. Learn from them. Don't get too worried - step into the woods because you've got to go through sadness and loneliness to achieve complete happiness and love. Every single person on this planet has felt the same feelings you have - it's up to your individual self what you do with the situations your dealt. Accept, love, embrace, learn, forgive, and find your inner warrior through the tenderness of your heart and soul.
