It was asked that I begin a Happiness Meeting last eve.

It is on favorite topics of mine

Energy of Authenticity, Positivity & Inspired Action

it was fun working with energy, and I have linked to it here

Link to page 1Happiness Meeting

The index of previous Happiness Meetings take up too much space, and OMG get into energy and it can take up much area… happy area… though … much area(:

so let’s get back to the topic on a fresh new clean page.

and fresh new approach

use this space for your fresh new discoveries 

On 

Energy of Authenticity,

Positivity

&

Inspired Action

share what you love. 

New questions to consider in process:

1) What does it mean in terms of your own energy to be a Fresh New Creation?

2) Write a little letter entitled Dear Fresh New Present Moment.

3) I love fresh slates... Write about your own Preparation For A Brand New YOU (take as much of the old you'd like to retain(: ) write a story or a poem. It doesn’t matter , breathe fresh into it.

4) Release or take in anything you like. Its all up to you, its your fresh and new.

This fresh new meeting is officially open

All Welcome(:

2) Write a little letter entitled Dear Fresh New Present Moment.

Dear Fresh New Moment, I want nothing more than to stay with you.

When I go to an older moment there are precious memories

and things I love to hang on to.

Though, Precious Present Moment,

I am starting to believe we have to recalibrate the past focus.

I can’t  adequately honor a memory as well as I can pay tribute to this present moment and all the good that I am being gifted with

So that is my goal - not to rid myself of yesterday … though to bring my love into today.

 

 

4) Release or take in anything you like. Its all up to you, its your fresh and new.

Most books I encounter express ‘it’s all about’ finding meaning and purpose again. When I was first reading this I felt - you must be kidding.

As silly as this sounded I never knew the involved ways that my entire life had intricately woven ways of meaning tied into 1 person.

I fought this my whole wedded life in effort to be ‘independent’. Maybe not fought… I loved marriage. In many ways my heart remains married.

When you choose a commitment such as marriage, you enter into a interdependence that allows for a purpose that can never fully understood until there is loss.

In terms of releasing… ‘It’s’ still too new to really comprehend releasing… Though obviously… this must be occurring…

to be continued 

1) What does it mean in terms of your own energy to be a Fresh New Creation? Will return to respond to this one

 

Write about your own Preparation For A Brand New YOU

Change

Safe inside the womb 

I simply grew

No way to prepare

Day one

Breathing air

 

A simple life

Without a care

School starts

Unprepared 

 

So I grew and grew

School was the life 

I knew

 

Graduation came my way

Still unprepared for

 

Uncle Sam called my name

Vietnam Changed

The game

 

There was no way

To prepare

Constant killing

In the air

 

Typhoons, landslides, earthquakes

Shook the ground

Preparation not around

 

Marriage came 

And children too

Thought prepared

But didn’t know

Changed my life 

Very much so

 

Cancer struck wife

One day 

She fought it 

Year after year

No way to prepare

Approaching her final day

 

A brand new me

Soon to be

Life’s prepared me

For change 

Is to be. 

 

In response to Poppy's post:

The love it takes to be in such a committed relationship is the same love we need to love ourselves thru this process

I stand with you and your declaration of self compassion and love

Thank you so much for this contribution Poppy. 

This unpreparedness  you share
is the authenticity
that of course
we prefer  to never never endure.
 
Thank you for your courage to share.

Thank you for being you,
and giving myself and others that sacred strength 

biggest hug and deepest respect
friend, 
Love , ‘selfcare’

While the following passage is for after a soulmate passes, I wasn’t sure I should post it… Though it does pertain to hope because of who one is in a relationship built on loving reciprocity 

Hope it’s okay I share:
Because you are a soulmate, you get which values really matter in life. You know how to cultivate friendship. You excel at companionship. You are well acquainted with the power of physical connection. You appreciate the joy of laughter. You know how to be vulnerable and have witnessed the transformative things that can happen when you open yourself to vulnerability. You’re good at kindness. You know how to see things through over the long haul. You persevere like nobody’s business. You’re a master at selflessness and sacrifice. You think of life as an adventure. You have borne witness to the power of rituals. And despite your loss, you understand what a privilege and honor it was to have experienced a soulmate relationship. You appreciate the gift of gratitude.

I am so sure that you have the capacity to succeed at your grief quest because the skills it will take are the same skills you mastered as a soulmate.

My head and heart are my best friends

My head figures things out

says you ought to do this

and ought to do that. 

My heart  who knows how to love me

says … you can get off this “merry go round  of trying so hard’’ every day 

Your  round & round rides are not free -

you are starting to pay a big figure to ride 

and it is taxing your Spirit- energy

My head says to

me - use your tools!!!

My heart  What???!!!

My heart says  to me - tell your head you already use  your tools. Your tools are so apart of you

You use tools 

like many people breathe,

stop listening to your head.

My head also says share my story with others

My heart says , no need because :

You are more than your story.

You are the love that created the story

and the love that will heal you everyday a little more.

Go with your more quiet self now says my heart ❤️ 

&

Go easy now.


Turn the fresh new page and be still , and listen with peace and listen with love

In response to Poppy's post:

Hi Poppy,

Thank you for your writing. 

Even though what you and your family are facing is a huge process, still, your words give me a sense of innocence and trust, even when dealing with a serious illness. 

I always enjoy your writing. I wish you all of best; the best comfort. The best rest when you need it. And most of all, I send you all Love.

Quote by Brene Brown

I think our capacity for wholeheartedness can never

be greater than our willingness to be brokenheartedness.

It means engaging with the world from

a place of vulnerability

and worthiness.

• ATTRIBUTES OF A POWER PERSON

Attributes of a Powerful Person
I think of power as happening in four ways: Somatic power (in our bodies), Intrapersonal power (in our relationships to ourselves), Interpersonal Power (in our relationships with others and the world around us) and Spiritual/Existential Power (in our capacity to make meaning in life). This is not a prescription;

In response to Joy Grows here's post:

Welcome JGH, glad that this shift on the Happiness Meeting is inspirational to you, and looking forward to your share.

Of course anyone participating will be inspired in their own unique way, which is of course very good. We are all and always will be our own unique selves. Though what we all have in common, that I know that I know we are all love.

It is always a beautiful time to emphasize this.

We need our capacity to be the love we are to love one another and we so need this to progressively love ourselves thru a life as Poppy so courageously expressed to love ourselves thru everything we are unprepared for. 

In response to Joy Grows here's post:

for many reasons… I am grateful for 2 pages of this meeting.

I don’t believe this area can be explored well on 1 page.

In response to ♡ ˚💖Sacred Recalibration's post:

Thank you for posting this.

 

This is an excellent quote, I love that she distinguished "wholeheartedness" from "brokenheartedness," and  "engaging the world from a place of vulnerability and worthiness."

That is completely beautiful...

 

If everyone who read that, actually went with that, we could literally heal ourselves, heal one another and we could have something that we share, something in common that could be a gateway to bringing and spreading peace everywhere.

Spreading peace with impossibility.

Yes, suddenly, there is a door that opens wide, the capacity to deconstruct impossibility and propagate possibility with worthiness...

This is purely stunning.

This is purely Beautiful...

Uncompromisingly, unstoppably empowering and life healing...

 

In response to ♡ ˚💖Sacred Recalibration's post:

Thank you for finding this and posting this...

This is exceptional...

 

_quoteThe gap between vision and current reality is also a source of energy. If there were no gap, there would be no need for any action to move towards the vision. We call this gap creative tension. _{Peter Senge}

_quoteWhen all is said and done, the only change that will make a difference is the transformation of the human heart._{Peter Senge}

_quoteThe birth of the de-centered self can be profoundly disorienting, it is transcendental and often involves a heightened sense of awareness and connection. The analytical ‘localized’ self can find it fragile, frightening and impossible to grasp…There is a sense of being present to what is seeking to emerge, with intentionality. If you follow your nature enough, if you follow your nature as it moves, if you follow so far that you really let go, then you find that you’re actually the original being, the original way of being. The original being knows things and acts, does things in its own [intuitive?] way. It actually has a great intention to be itself, and it will do so if you just let it _{Peter Senge}

_quoteThe fundamental difference between creating and problem solving is simple In problem solving we seek to make something we do not like go away. In creating we seek to make what we truly care about exist _{Peter Senge}

I hope it’s Okay Poppy that I post another beautiful poem of yours which has added inspiration to my life:

Who Am I?

I am who I am
But who is that?
How can I know?
I just am me.

But who am I?

Well I am me, says I
But are you your body?
Partly I must be!
But there is more to me.

I am my mind!
Don’t you see?
My thoughts
Are surely mostly me.
But is there more to me?

I am my heart!
My loving spirit
Don’t you see?
I care for you
I care for me.
But there must be more to me?

My personality
Is who I am!
What else can there be?
It is all the stories that
Make up me.

But wait!
My friend and I
Are close as can be
We are very different
Miles and time apart
But connected at the heart!
We choose to be
Unique and the same.

Again I ask
Who am I?
My purpose
My talents, skills
My job is who I am.
Surely that must be.
I strive for excellence,
Even the mundane
Works for me!

When I’m very still
I see clearly
Who I am.
I am aware of all that is.
I am separate and a part.
I am here and now.
But my presence
Is fleeting.

So who am I?
If only I could see…
I’ve reduced myself
To be free to be me!

And lastly
There must be
One more thing that is me
It is the hardest thing for me to be
It is a thing only I can see…

Being fully aware
Of who I am.
Taking responsibility
For being me.
Doing the right thing
When no one sees.
Accepting no less than excellence.
Just being me!

I am who I am
But who is that?
How can I know?
I am just me.

Every day is a birthday; every moment of it is new to us;

we are born again, renewed for fresh work and endeavor.
