If you come from a family like mine you learn very quickly that everything is in a name. The word family typically includes a whole unit of persons related with similarities falling in many categories in addition to those shared physical traits. But what about the individual within the group. Is he or she not important. Of course you are. Your name says a lot not just about who you are but who you are not . We have a lot of girls /women in our family and it's not uncommon to hear several names rattled off before you get to who's actually being called. Finally you hear "you know whom I'm talking about". We find ourselves laughing and in unison say the name of the intended person. While all of that is great and part of family sharing I've learned something valuable over the years. Who I am, who I'm called to be and my name is very important. It distinguishes me from others. You'll find your goals for your life are different as well.  Parents name their

To ask someone else about another is to not want to know the truth. ~discussions on avoidance

There are obvious things that one can imitate. However, the truth lies in the not so obvious that can however, very much be verified. The substance of one can often be found hidden in the not so "everyday' details. I liken it to a whiteout experience that is historical, only those who come through it understand what it means to steady a hand to drive on the fine line and not go over. Or for some who know both the horror and spectacular of what happens with wind and fire. When you find the obvious- look beyond to see if you can discover the hidden truth.

Don't waste time going back in the past trying to re-create memories that should be in your heart. Don't spend time projecting the issues of others on to someone else; and by all means know who you love. It should not be a matter of hesitation. Don't major in the minors. Major in your present life moving forward to something altogether special and meaningful. Look forward to a wonderful life of love that yes, consists of unforgettable memories that make you laugh, cry, dance, and celebrate. Remember the spirit of life lives within us that we may carry it into our future. Resolve, reconcile, that you might live an exciting life. Love would never want you to be weighted down unable to move forward and be progressive. Let your vision include things of old and things of new. But by all means live in the present. I can think of no better thing to be free to love, love platonically, and yes romantically. Free to have public displays of affection (pda) and to cheek kiss and thin

Love being you, not lotti, dotti and everybody. I know it's a cliche. But it just might be true.

If someone requires you to blindly trust them for long, long, periods of time, with matters unresolved a conversation is long overdue and you may need to question their agenda and heart. Insights from discussions on why trust is not the exception to communication they're the inclusion of the other. It's the two working together that strengthens the union.

Whose truth is believable? Time may have to reveal but verily I say to you it is the one that is most honest and sincere that can be trusted.

Sometimes you just have to sit back, observe, and listen and see what life is speaking. There just may be something you've missed that gets your attention.
