My Dear BHW Sisters,

Here we go again ... s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g ... ...

It occurs to me that we EACH choose to resolve the challenges that face us in this life in our own unique ways ... Same facts ... different perspectives ... different choices ... different solutions (or as Dr. Pamela prefers ... Soul-utions - Thank YOU, Dr. Pamela!!! ) ... ...

I BELIEVE there are always solutions (Soul-utions) to our problems ... always! ... ...

Sometimes, the solutions are sooo obvious ... right there ... LOOK! ... SEE! ... BE!!! ... ... ... ...

Other times, the solutions ... are elusive ... distant ... UNclear ... Hmmm ...

As we try to solve problems ... challenges ... situations ... we EACH search for the solution in our own ways ... Guaranteed! ...

I may have the solution you seek ... but, IF you don't ask ... you will never know that it was right there ... LOOK! ... SEE! ... ...

OTOH, YOU may have the solution I seek ... but, IF I never ask ... I will never know that it was right there ... LOOK! ... SEE! ... ...

"Two ships pass each other in the night" ... never knowing that it was ALL right there ... palpable ... predictable ... in congruence with the Universe and HOW it operates ... ...

I've developed a 6th sense over my lifetime ... but, unlike a LOT of people who have it ... and my understanding IS that we ALL have it to one degree or another ... I don't know for sure what the answers ARE that my instincts are telling me to observe ... to embrace ... to share ... Hence, these Blog posts seeking "inspiration" ... wanting to share the process which has been oooooh soooo helpful in my lifetime ... Sensing ... not knowing ... but feeling none-the-less that it IS sooo close at hand ...

When communication needs to be indirect ... out of respect, I guess ... the solution can be more elusive ...

I've learned over my lifetime that some things are not meant to BE ...

I don't have the answers in order to help anyone make the DISTINCTIONS they need ... but, distinctions ARE what Tony Robbins taught me through his tapes sooo many long years ago ... ARE what IS needed ... Yes, indeed ... DISTINCTIONS ...

Some may wonder at the so-called meteoric rise of Facebook ... or Google ... or Microsoft in its early days ... Aaaah ... but IF they would only look more closely ... what they will SEE is that there were other entities stronger ... older ... more well-established ... that should have prevailed and beat these upstarts to the finish line ... WHY didn't they? ... ...

OTOH, LOOK at Twitter ... It's made the cover of "Fortune" magazine (May 2, 2011) ... with a very telling photo ...

WHAT IS THE DISTINCTION? ... ...

I am afraid that I can't go any further ... I am EVER mindful of my obligations to honor the "rules" of my profession ... and so the solution must be developed by those who CAN SEE the message I am trying to deliver ... There are many here with the skill set to SEE ... but, who for whatever reason took that fork in the road years ago and took the other road ... the other path ... and now they, not I, are in a position to assist with insights ... with solutions ...

I sense that I came here for my "dance with the Universe" ... IF one chooses to dance ... hail the Taxi!!! ... LOL! ... (Thank YOU sooo much, BraveHeart Ellen!!!) ... I knew the answer would come ... The Universe does offer up the solutions we seek ... the answers ARE there ...

On the parallel track I AM on ... I have other goals and dreams and tasks ahead of me ... I will not walk away from ALL that I have worked sooo very hard for ... for a lifetime ...

LIFE IS GOOD! ... LIFE IS GRAND! ... We must OPEN OUR EYES ... in order to SEE ... ... ... ...

My crowning achievement will be made visible to ALL who choose to SEE ... ...

Welcome to my world!!! ... ... ... Lest anyone MISunderstand ... let me simply state that there are no "weeds" in my garden ... what you SEE IS what you get ... and, cryptic communication has always been my style ... Sorry about that ... ... ...

With sincerity of purpose ... my profound gratitude to the Universe ... my respect for ALL who choose to serve ... my love, my best wishes, and many blessings ... ...

Aloha pume hana,

Barb

My Dear BHW Sisters,

Allow me to attempt a s-t-r-e-t-c-h for an "inspired" Blog post ... one which has been percolating for a while now ... ...

Communication skills are an interesting thing ...

Charisma IS an interesting phenomenon ... The Charismatic Adult was recently discussed in one of our many meetings ...

What IS real? ... And, what is a result of our desire to BELIEVE ? ... ...

There are sooo many sayings ... and insightful and sometimes pithy phrases ... I know that as I got older more and more of the age-old sayings seemed to somehow "magically" make a whole lot more sense than they once did ... ...

So, am I now SEEing more clearly? ... ... Hmmm ...

I think that we often simply acknowledge that which we wish to SEE ... rather that look at hard, cold facts ... We sometimes rationalize ... thinking that things just can't be the way they seem to be ... We want to give people the benefit of the doubt ... We want to BELIEVE ... ...

And, IF the facts (dis)prove the point ... What then? ... ...

When ALL doubt is removed, what then? ... ...

The bubble bursts! ... ...

Yesterday, as I listened to the news that Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger are separating ... it engendered such a reality check ...

Sometimes, we wish to BELIEVE ... in Camelot ...

Recently, I have been having a tug-of-war with myself ... wondering in which direction I should move ... wondering IF I should just "get more real" ... Maybe my "dance with the Universe" has been fun ... but a distraction ... Maybe that sign along the highway was misread ... Maybe ...

Hmmmm ...

With profound gratitude for this insight ... with respect for ALL ... my love and many blessings ... ...

Aloha pume hana,

Barb
