Here’s a passage that while true at any age, makes the most sense once your reached midlife…
Sufi poem by Hazrat Inayar Khan

I asked for strength
and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom
and God gave me problems to learn to solve.

I asked for prosperity
and God gave me a brain and brawn to work.

I asked for courage
and God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for love
and God gave me people to help.

I asked for favours
and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted,
I received everything I needed.

Midlife will occur differently to everyone but you now have the opportunity to change what can be a crisis into a more complete and purposeful life, says a new book, A Guide for Midlife – Navigating the Six Universal Crises, written by McKenzie Magee.

“It is important to understand what a midlife crisis has to offer,” says Magee. The author has a unique approach on how to meet the challenges of surviving and thriving in your 40′s, 50′s, and 60′s.

Magee’s book offers valuable advice from her own midlife crisis and the personal experiences of others. She calls upon science, psychology, astrology, and spirituality in order to Read the rest of this entry »

Transformation is a process – and we need to be patient in the transitions – I have found that to especially true about the midlife transition. I like the word transition – but I don’t always like the feeling!

I love dragonflies and so, I’ve done a lot of research on them and have learned a lot of lessons.
In one of the sites I researched, it said that “People with dragonfly medicine are dreamers. They can be perplexing and annoying to others. The dragonfly person may appear almost Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been looking a lot lately at the concept of Shadow and how it appears in my (and everyone else’s life) and how different life can be when we embrace it fully. Ok – so, I’m still working on this one!

One of the authors I respect who writes about this (see her new book, The Shadow Effect – good stuff…)
I get her newsletter and she gave permission to share today’s message. Here goes:

It was one year ago today that we had people from around the world join together to take The Vow of Emotional Independence. After reading it over, I decided it was worthy of taking the vow again. So with a bit of a 2010 update, here it is.

When you have emotional independence, you want for nothing because you have everything. Just take a deep breath and think about this. Imagine feeling so full and so completely at peace inside yourself that you have the freedom to love and be loved, to give freely and to receive abundantly, to expand rather than contract, to move forward rather than stay stuck, to live in joy rather than suffer in misery. Emotional independence allows you to be in control rather than to be controlled by the unhealed emotions of your past and will support you in being nourished and filled with faith rather than diminished and weakened by fear.

Today is the day that we can stand together and take The Vow of Emotional Independence. So close your eyes and have the intention that you can be free, that you can be loved, that you can be abundant, that you can be healed, that you can be inspired, that you can be passionate, and that you can help change the world. And then open your eyes and please join me in taking the vow.

The Vow of Emotional Independence

I, ______ ________, am committed to Read the rest of this entry »
