In order to co-create we have to clean up blaming and resentments. Co-creation is creating using the guidance of your Inner Being, your Higher Self. Anything you are holding against another is holding you. Anything you are holding against yourself is holding you. Power is found in complete responsibility.

Complete responsibility is your ability to respond to what is. You can respond to negative emotions by releasing them. Your release does not come from being against them, fighting them, or demanding that they leave.

An Open Heart
by The Dalai Lama and Nicholas Vreeland

When we look at the happiness we seek and the suffering we wish to avoid, most evident are the pleasant and unpleasant feelings we have as a result of our sensory experience of the tastes, smells, textures, sounds, and forms that we perceive around us. There is, however, another level of experience. True happiness must be pursued on the mental level as well.

The Easy Gift of Forgiveness
by Jeannette Sanders

For many years I struggled with hidden blocks in being able to reach my life goals. I couldn’t figure out what was holding me back or why it was so difficult to succeed. I figured it had to be something outside myself.  “It ’s the way the world is right now,” I’d say, or perhaps “it’s because I’m a woman in a man’s world.”

Thoughts On Justice And Renewal
by Cristin Snyder

Much talk has gone on recently about a need for Justice. There is no doubt that we must put an end to terror, but what I want to talk to all of you about today is how all of this effects us on a personal level. What does justice mean to you? We are all at a time where we must face this question, not only in regards to dealing with wartime tragedies, but also with dealing with personal spiritual and emotional wounds which are also crying out to be addressed.

Forgiveness, A Journey To Freedom
by Trish Whynot, D.C.Ed.
 
Forgiveness is a journey toward freedom from our past. It is a process that takes some effort and along the road there are plateaus that we reach. We may think that forgiveness is complete at these resting points and then something comes up to show us that there is more work to be done. These plateaus are where we tend to get stuck, to be hard on ourselves and to judge. The process of forgiveness is transformational; it is complex, not to be taken lightly and not something that can be done on command. Be patient and tender with yourself on your journey toward forgiveness. You will know you have forgiven when only love and gratitude remain in your heart for the person you desire to forgive and for the opportunity for personal growth and healing that was presented.

A Plentiful Harvest: Creating Balance and Harmony Through the Seven Living Virtues
by Terrie Williams

He cried as he told us about being healed of his addictions and "carnal" living and compelled to worship God and serve the community. Wow, I thought, to be handpicked by God to do something special must be awesome.
