Asking for help

I just want to help I meet many people who talk me that they don’t like to ask for help, they prefer to get on with ‘it’ on their own. Those people rarely change. When I needed help I didn’t even think about not asking. I sought every piece of help and advice out there.ContinueContinue reading “Asking for help”

Forgetful

On a sweep through the universe I discovered my essence And reconnected with my source I was stardust Powerful Shining Eternal Then I came back from the dream Awoke into reality And forgot who I was Again! Deb Hawken September 2023

I Mattered

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. But very little else did. I was raised begging for attention, for fairness. No matter how hard I tried, how well behaved, I could never win. I used to describe myself as 3/10 must try harder. My younger brother and I agreed when weContinueContinue reading “I Mattered”

Don’t Fear Your Greatest Teacher

As is your negative system Negativity is a bad word isn’t it? It means that you’re being negative!

And on and on and boringly on. Reality checkContinueContinue reading “Don’t Fear Your Greatest Teacher”

Never

Are you holding a grudge? About? Holding a grudge means giving other people power over you, and that’s something I will not do. I won’t let unkind people live inside my head, turning me bitter, ruining my digestion with the extra bile, and generally allowing me to hold myself back. I deal with things toContinueContinue reading “Never”
