Acceptance

Posted by chrystibella on November 27, 2009

I see myself mirrored back to me in you.

I see YOU as you do not see yourself.

It is a habit for me to tear myself apart. The wounds of life can be harsh and I am easily obliged to become caught up in a wave of
self loathing.

But when I look at you, listen to you speak, your wounds are sometimes as visible as my own.

Yet I see more.  Beyond the surface.  I see what you don’t see.

I admire qualities in you that you probably don’t realize you have.

Your beauty is so apparent.

I overlook or don’t even notice the faults you hold within your being and in that regard it makes me feel safe.

You don’t have to be perfect.

I accept you when you are in good moods or bad, goofy or sad. I rejoice in your happiness and support you when you are down. When I see your smile and feel you radiating positive energy towards me I tend to focus less on my own short comings and instead accept me for who I am (through your eyes instead of my own), regarding the joy you leave upon my soul with your friendship, your love and the foundation that you bring to my life with the greatest appreciation I have ever experienced.

Your awareness helps me to love myself because you love me, and for knowing you, I am a better person.

We spent Thanksgiving with friends in Oregon this year.  It was a relaxing 4 days in Oregon away from the city life.  The ladies had a spa day with massages while the men went off to ride go-carts.  We had smoked turkey that was the best I’ve ever had.  We played pinball, pool, sat in the hot tub, sang karaoke, played cards, laughed, and talked.  It was so nice.

Something I really needed.

Thank you C & D for having us.

Dear Universe,

Posted by chrystibella on September 19, 2008

I want to own a home with lush green gardens. I want to grow my own vegetables (other than my patio tomatoes) and I want to celebrate the family and friends in my life.

I want a satisfying job, with great benefits that include paid time off for rest and relaxation, travel and to afford more than just the basic neccessities. I want to see and experience the beautiful things in this world.

Is that asking too much?

I built my dream board to help me manifest what I want. Seeing is believing after all.
