Casual – what does it really mean? Better yet what does it mean to you ladies, in the context of a romantic relationship? These days I am intrigued by words, and how they shape our interactions with others... My search on the web revealed the following definition: Casual – without a plan or method; free and easy; natural and unstudied; no effort or strain; offhand; in one’s spare time; hasty and without attention to detail; characterized by a feeling of irresponsibility. My first reaction was: I would be comfortable with the definition natural, no strain, free and easy (and even this last word needed further clarification). Yet, that was about it for my level of comfort. Hmm… So I had to sit and ask myself why is that? Actually, if the truth be known, I did the think through while vacuuming, and cleaning out the bathroom. My thoughts tumbled forward until the word EXPECTATIONS popped into my head. At that moment, everything seemed to become a little clearer. Expectations is what is not mentioned in that definition, and yet, it is often very much the unnamed elephant in the room of relationships. It would make sense that a casual relationship is one where there would be the least amount of expectations – expectations like getting a call every day or few days, being expected to accompany the other to an office or family function, the expectation to be somewhere at a particular time every week, the expectation to holiday together – expectations big or small. However, in my mind, even if the relationship is casual, and freer of expectations – it would not imply that one could take the liberty to disregard the feelings of the other or behave in an irresponsible manner towards that other individual. When referring to a romantic relationship – if I look at the next part of the definition – “hasty and without attention to detail” – that leaves me with many visuals in various situations.  What is done with haste and without attention – The phone conversations? Communications like e-mail? The good night kiss or love making? Is it the meal prepared with and for the other? The gift that is picked out? Does that mean that the attitude of lame, or mannered comes into play, because there is less time spent together? Next, the definition of “in one’s spare time” – does that mean he or she gets in touch only when they have nothing to do, or nothing or no one more exciting to see and be with? Not sure I like this either. Then comes the “no effort”. Now in my experience, some efforts can be very pleasurable, satisfying and fulfilling. Not all effort is a strain or a pain in the royal behind. Most enjoyable experiences including relating to people, benefit from receiving intention and attention units in the process. The attention and intention units do not have to be intense or of long duration on the part of the giver, but their presence brings a quality of beauty and nourishment to the soul and being of both individuals. Even in a casual relationship, I would like to think that an essence of beauty and caring, along with feelings of satisfaction are present. If I define a casual relationship as: has limited expectations, gives attention and intention units to the relationship in order to create an atmosphere of beauty, and where one can be nourished either emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually or all of the above; contributes to creating an atmosphere that is free of tension, and engages in a manner that is authentic and real vs mannered or lame – I believe I can live with that. It was the unnamed elephant “expectations” that was tripping me up in some of the dialogue I have been having with my girlfriends. For us girls, it was important that even casual relationships with men have an essence of caring vs being flippant with feelings. So now I am wondering who can enjoy and live comfortably with a casual relationship? Is that something that only a certain type of people can enjoy? What about the folks who tend to be attachment oriented? Can they live with a casual relationship if both parties clearly define what limited expectations means for them, because we all know that everyone has a different nuanced definition of most words. Does it all boil down to communicating until we arrive at an understanding of words – in this case casual? When I look through my rose colored glasses I would like to see that all relationships on the “casual to the married continuum” wherever they lie –be held with a certain sacredness, in the hands and hearts of those involved– that all relationships deserve someone who is present when interacting; someone who desires what is best for each other; someone who is honest, authentic, and real; where there is a balance of give and take; and where mutual respect reigns and each can grow and expand somewhat because of the connection – even if it’s a casual connection. Now am I really being too optimistic??? Lynette Chartier Ritual Divas Community

Good day Divas Have you ever found yourself caught between wanting to spend large amounts of time in your creative, life purpose endeavours, and at the same time wanting to experience a deeply loving relationship or even feeling the need to tend to an existing relationship, yet not quite sure how to handle the expectations and demands society has created around being “a couple” ? Do relationship attachments become distractions? Personally I have felt, and have heard others express that when one is absorbed/possessed by the creative genius, whether that be in a project within a business work environment, or whether in an artist’s personal studio, that the attachments which come from being in a relationship with a significant other, actually inhibit the flow of creative transmission, which is trying to be received. So how does one handle such periods of time? How does one navigate the meaningful relationship, keeping the needs of both individuals respected and met? Because often reality is that one or the other of the partners feels left out, neglected, not given enough attention, when the other is fully engaged with one’s work. If the relationship with a partner becomes in fact a distraction, I feel there has got to be a better solution than simply: being with a lover in a mannered, lame, non present state; standing on the sidelines as simply an observer of relationships; or avoiding relationships altogether for a period of time. Can we not have a new blueprint for relationships when we are in an inspired working mode; when we are serving humanity through our purpose, and letting the Divine creative process flow through us? What would an ideal blueprint look like for You? This morning I am visualizing… being completely engrossed in my work and life path, yet setting aside special times through out the creative process, where I completely disconnect from the work, where instead I can fully engage and live in the human experience – enjoying among everything else the deliciousness of a lover/ partner/significant other/... I want to believe that two people can cultivate a deep, rich, satisfying relationship; an awesome connection/compatibility combined with fabulous chemistry and unconditional acceptance and love, while remaining true to their Soul’s purpose and scriptures; reassuring both his and my healthy Egos and Souls through out the process, that we are appreciated, cherished, valued, and loved even through the absences (physical, or mental); that the ribbon of mutual caring, nurturing, and loving remains present although at times perhaps invisible. I imagine regular intervals of several days/weeks where his and mine’s life’s purposes get told we are taking a time out … a time out to delight and immerse ourselves in the ocean of connection, loving expression… I am under no illusions… this blue print would require an internal capacity which is not encouraged or taught in our western world. It would demand from both parties a strong willingness to be deeply open, honest, authentic, truly vulnerable… a requirement to admit when our buttons of abandonment, jealousy, feelings of “not good enough”, and feelings of scared… get pushed. Yet, I imagine a new dance of love being birthed, a dance that accommodates both the Soul’s purpose and the intensity of a fabulous relationship, in a growth- full, expansive manner. What do you feel? Wishing you a new week filled with much love and light, Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Good day Divas - I trust you are enjoying a fabulous Holiday Weekend I woke up this morning with the words attachment, and commitment dancing in my head. What do these words really mean to most people? How does one interpret them in the context of today’s more “Conscious relationships”? Do these words still hold a place in today’s relationships? My thoughts unraveled like this… over the years, these words have accumulated many energies – positive and negative. Their individual interpretations have caused many a heart ache and a heart break. Some would of forcefully pushed the word “Commitment” away because the word oozed of obligation, and the feeling of being too tightly bound emotionally. Others welcomed “Commitment” because it reflected a pledge of devotion to a loved one – a pledge they were willing to both give and receive. As for the word attachment, the feeling of being a supplementary part was definitely not a turn on. Being attached to someone’s hip or having someone attached to theirs was too restrictive and not allowing for enough coming and going in both their work and personal life. For other adults, the thought of being attached to someone, and having someone tied to them felt reassuring, fulfilling and a requirement in order to function well every day. So now, what could be a word that would embrace the space between being in the moment and most intimate (hours later not being in the moment and therefore interpreted by some as: now anything goes – therefore scary space for many), and the positiveness of commitment; without the feelings of ball and chain – rather commitment with Desire, Joy, Peace and Love? I believe there has to be a word that describes the willingness, while in any stage of a relationship (whether the stage of exploring, developing, maintaining, evolving, even resolving/unfolding of a relationship) to hold the other person (their Soul so to speak) in your hands, mind, and heart in a sacred way; so that the individual you are relating with can trust You, can open their heart and be truly authentic; can express themselves honestly and respectfully without fear; and therefore able to go about their day and follow their purpose, secure in the knowing that in any moment of either sadness, fear, crisis, or better yet Joy and Love they can turn to You, and you’ll be there fully present, ready to listen without judgment, ready to respond in a way that is respectful of both. For me, this word would also describe the ribbon of mutual caring, nurturing, and loving, which connects and intertwines the Essence of each, while in relationship; whether two people live in the same home or whether separated by miles, even by continent. This word would also encompass the mutual respect, understanding and acceptance that exists if and when the moment comes that the relationship is no longer in the best interest of both, and that it needs to unfold. When it comes to unfolding relationships, I use the analogy of sewing. If you have ever sewn, you have certainly stitched seams that needed to be undone. There are two ways of doing so: either you yank the thread out and risk marring the fabric in the process, or you choose to carefully take the thread out, lay the fabric anew, sew a new seam, all the while leaving the fabric intact. My former husband and I chose the latter as a way to unfold the marriage. We chose to stay in an energy of respect, and to see to each others and to our grown childrens well-being. Imagine… no lawyers and no negotiations. Imagine …no big bills… simply a willingness and intention to see that we and our grown children were well in the process. Yes, there were moments of annoyance, resentment, and confusion, yet we avoided possible storms due to our willingness to continue to each take responsibility for our life experience, due to our determination to continue on the path of self growth, due to turning within and tapping into our Essence. I love the thought that unfolding of relationships can leave both individuals walking their path intact and with grace, without having barb wire of emotional debris hanging from every body part. Perhaps the word, I am searching for is too rose colored for some, but my experiences lived and witnessed tell me that it is possible to find such a word and to live the possibilities of this word. What would that word be for You? Or would you invent a new word for these newer blue print of possibilities? After all everything does live and die in language … our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and ultimately our actions come from our words. Bless - ins to You, Lynette RItual Divas Community

Hello Divas, Several years ago, beginning my Soul growth & walking a more Essence based path, it was the EASE in which things unfolded that had me doubting myself & slipping into old patterns of Being - I wasn't use to Ease. Like others I had learned to tighten up & push forward, stressed and all... With practice, I now have an inner knowing that things don't always go as planned, but life can be filled with moments of Grace, Ease & Essence based experiences. It is a choice, choose well! Wishing you a fall filled with Love, Grace, Ease, Peace, Joy, Health, New wealth, Abundance, and Wisdom! Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Hello Divas With permission to share this beautiful poem... A World Without Shame Connie Sabczak ©2002 What possibilities would emerge What healing could occur if women stopped feeling shame Shame for having an appetite Shame for having a body never good enough to satisfy an external arbitrary standard Shame for feeling Passionate Angry Radiant Beautiful Intelligent Shame is removed from life's equation when each and every woman chooses to defy the status quo Chooses to break out of the box labeled Acceptable Woman Good Girl Chooses to remain vigil in fighting off the internal voice that says Bad No matter what Bad Shame leaves the dance floor when women stop seeking praise from others For praise from others never lasts and does nothing to feed the soul Imagine the world if women committed to living through Soul Expression Gave to the world our unique gifts and allowed our beauty to shine from our hearts from Essence Soul expression It starts with a change in perception Look at your fat your cellulite your sagging breasts your wrinkles and scars your thighs and butt your belly Look at your female body and see your soul Be gentle See life Human beauty in a life lived See beauty Ask yourself. What is my true purpose on this planet? How am I unique? What is my dance? Is it my desire to be an object of perfection at which people stare? Or shall I participate in my life? Be a subject An active contributor to the world around me I do not believe we were put on earth to whip ourselves for our imperfections I do not believe that beating ourselves up is part of the Divine Plan Use your time wisely, because life passes quickly See your beauty now for as the years go by you will look back and say God, wasn't I beautiful--then! Too bad at the time you labeled yourself Ugly Stupid Insignificant Fat Life's precious moments wasted on self hatred I take the challenge to try new things even though I fear humiliation I will dance I will sing I will write and create art I will tell MY truth I choose to NOT pick up the arrows slung at me and stab them into my heart I choose to leave them at my feet I will use courage to walk away in a different direction Towards myself Towards my heart I choose love Blessings to your week! Love your BH sister, Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Good evening Divas - Tonight I have a couple of questions - odd kind of questions perhaps, but I do know that there is a lot of expertise here so I am thinking you may want to share your knowledge. What are your thoughts on the topic of emotions and all the disease and illnesses that are popping up everywhere? In your work and experience to what extent do you see/believe the two linked? Is it better for someone to say nothing of this link to one that is ill or who has a loved one that is ill - do you approach the topic at all? What do you feel is an appropriate boundary here? How much does one say or leave others to figure out on their own? Now how does one show compassion to another who is ill without getting caught up in the drama, and not adding to their drama? Not sure all of this is very coherent to you - but this past week there has definitely been a shift in energy - not only fall "do mode energy" but several people are getting hurt physically or discovering they are ill (in reality that happens everyday - it's just that this week I know them personally) and basically I'm just wondering... Thank you for sharing your light, Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Good day Divas! Our thought patterns, the events, the circumstances, the people who have been a part of our life, along with the lens through which we see the world, make up the foundation of who we are. This foundation can be strong and sturdy, made of solid bricks or the foundation can be unstable, shifting, and compromised. I have learned that we cannot change our past, however, we can pick up the bricks that make up our foundation and relay them in order for us to stand more solidly in life. We can pick up each brick, examine it, and decide whether we want to keep it or not, depending on its usefulness. These bricks represent our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, values, and habits in regards to our relationships, our spiritual practice, our careers, and so on. By examining the bricks and relaying them we gain new perspectives, and move forward in life, where perhaps we had been previously stuck. These new perspectives allow us to let go of the pain, guilt, resentment, anger and all of the lower energies that zap the life out of us. It allows us to greet each new day with a more joyful spirit and a forgiving heart. Women are not broken and do not need to be fixed. However, by incorporating personal development into their life in order to gain fresh perspectives and build a more solid foundation, they can start to move towards a more purposeful, fulfilled, satisfying, and abundant life. Women can then be in a more favorable space in which to answer their calling, and start to create a life by design. "You can choose to be right or you can choose to be abundant and happy". The first time I heard this statement, it stopped me in my tracks. A little resistance was coming up... Yet, how true this statement is. If we have the need to be right, there is likely too much energy, and time wasted rather than invested towards achieving our desired outcomes. Time and energy are also wasted if we keep replaying our ineffective story to our self or to others. Blaming past events and people for our current situation will do nothing but keep us stuck. Let's choose to examine the bricks of our foundation and let go of what is not serving us. With the new energy of Fall, what will you choose to tap into to help you relay your foundation? Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance! Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Divas, reality is "Everyone has natural gifts and talents!" Sometimes it just takes us a long time to recognize our own worth and to empower ourselves. My learning and experiences have shown me that in order to take control of my life and accomplish each new goal, sooner or later in the process - I have to anchor into belief. I need to BELIEVE in myself more than anything else. Two common mistakes made are to hand our power over to someone else or to sit around and wait for Opportunity to come knocking at our front door. We simply need to believe that the power lies within us; in our own minds, heart and hands. And this is a great forum in which to start increasing our personal power. When we finally acknowledge what is within ourselves, things begin to flow. Playing it safe, not recognizing one's own abilities, and not stretching to even overcome the smallest of risks keeps us away from our own great contributions. Once we determine what the situation is, and what we can do about it, then it is time to utilize whatever abilities we have, whatever qualities we possess, and one baby step at a time we will be able to move forward. The next steps will be revealed as we need them providing we have faith. Quite often, the resources we need are already here - it is a question of seeing them with a fresh set of eyes, for the first time. Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance!

Hello Divas  , To all of our Canadian and American friends who are celebrating a long weekend this first weekend of September - Happy Labour or Labor day! It signals the end of the summer vacation and the children back at school. Some families will be taking in classic football games, others will be traveling one last time before the school routine sets in, and others will take advantage of the extra day either to rest or to get ahead. History will tell us that Labour Day signifies the advancement and achievements of workers - so how does that fit into our lives today? Well I believe that we do not take enough opportunities to recognize all that we do or to celebrate how far we have come. So my question today is; "How far have you come since January 1st of 2010 alone, and how can you celebrate your accomplishments?" Now don't be shy - what are you proud of? Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance! Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Making time for fun in our personal development plan is crucial to our success. This was a hard concept for me to learn. "Celebrate your success. Find some humor in your failures. Don't take yourself so seriously. Loosen up, and everybody around you will loosen up. Have fun." Sam Walton Over the years, I have been reminded of a critical element of life, taking the time to have FUN, and making daily tasks enjoyable. Did you know that laughter and fun help you to not only increase your sense of well-being but also increase your wealth creation? Canon said "Why would people want to buy from you if they don't enjoy doing so? Making what you have to sell fun to buy is simply taking the whole process one step further. If you can make your customers laugh, and excite them with your vision of what life can be, they are not going to walk into your outlets, but run into them. Running a successful business should be fun for you, and there's every reason why you should be able to communicate that sense of fun to your customers. Certainly, if you aren't having fun, you probably aren't running a successful business." Having been a serious, detail oriented person for the majority of my working life, I appreciate being reminded to let go and choose the Fun path. One of the essential elements in maintaining a positive healthy mindset is to take time out for laughter and fun. Any time we get too rigid about anything, even if it is something for our own good like exercise and time spent learning, we end up being too attached to a particular outcome. This can also lead to feeling weighed down and walking around with a sensation of heaviness. This heavy feeling or vibration also gets communicated to others when we are interacting with them. People are already overburdened and overwhelmed; they certainly are not looking for more of the same from you or me. Most of the things that occur in our life are there to teach us a lesson. Our friend Ellie says, "We will probably be laughing at this same stuff in 3-5 years from now, so why not laugh a little now." Sharing laughter after a painful moment lets the individuals be more in balance. If you have just been through something painful - laughter can add balance to your perspective and prevent you from taking on false beliefs around what has just occurred. Also having fun things to look forward to, and planning these events keeps people young. Enjoy your weekend and do sneak in a moment or two of pure pleasure! Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance! Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Just came home from seeing the movie with Julia Roberts - Eat Pray Love and I must say it was fabulous - many gems! Italy reminded me of the need to experience pleasure rather than get caught up in entertainment!... oh that red wine, pasta and the family gatherings - hmmm The meditation rooms of India gently and clearly tell us to learn to forgive ourselves and to never give up on love despite having been hurt before... And the beaches, the greenery, the colors of Bali are a beautiful setting for demonstrating that sometimes the balance comes in losing ourselves - in being non balanced - in surrendering rather than being overly focused on balance. Have yourself a wonderful start to your weekend and if you have a chance catch the movie - Eat Pray Love. Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance!

Hello Divas I hope your day was productive and peaceful and that you are getting ready to head into a wonderful long weekend ( for those of you here in North America)... Here I am just reading some notes on the two types of stress and the cost of stress... I have learned that there is the stress that comes from an external factor such as being stuck in traffic, needing to wait longer than anticipated, upset children, and the list goes on. And then there is the stress that is unconscious, that we are not even aware of - the stress that resides in our cellular memory. Now that is the stress that is at the root of our persistent challenges and illness. This physical stress is not based on the outer circumstance but instead based on the internal programming that we incorporated a long time ago. The cellular stress drains our energy, it suppresses our immune system, and causes us to have a negative perspective - one of fear, anger or sadness. If we are not living the life we want - the solution is not trying harder - but rather the solution appears to be getting to the root of our stress. "We can get from where we are to where we want to be." What is your solution to getting there? Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance! Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Hello Divas, This time of year brings much newness in many ways, whether your little ones are going to school for the first time, whether they are seasoned pros and know the routine well, or whether they are off to bigger steps like College... I believe Kahlil Gibran's poem says it well. Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. We as Moms know that each age and stage has its gifts and challenges, yet they go by very quickly... frequently what our children are going through brings us back in time to when we were taking our steps to independence... May I suggest a few tips to keep in mind as the next few weeks, months unfold...tips that I personally found to work well: - take time to set the tone for the new school year; - strive to hear what is being said in between the words of what they are sharing - listen for their feelings; - try not to pass on your own fears and apprehensions (can be tough); - kids need both love and boundaries; - encourage them and praise them often; - routines - good sleep, healthy meals go a long way; - have fun, take time to snuggle and read them a good story; - and remind them that they have all they need inside to succeed and to believe in themselves, to trust themselves before trusting another. And most of all just stay connected, do not try to be a perfect parent- I learned a long time ago, there is only so much you can do as a parent. Do your best - and allow yourself some rest - a chance to rejuvenate - as each change and new adventure demands energy, a dose of patience and discernment. And thanks to technology, 15 minutes ago the Facebook message came through - my youngest has now arrived safely to his new home in British Columbia. I could feel his joy, his sense of accomplishment, for now he is following his path, his journey.... Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance! Lynette Ritual Divas Community

Good day Divas, A few months ago, I was asked to participate in a round table discussion at the 9th tri-annual International French Linguistic Symposium being held in our city, this week. Now I must be honest - the thought of participating in such an event was most interesting - but the thought of voicing my opinions, and experiences with highly educated university profs, researchers, authors - was a little intimidating to say the least. However, with courage in heart. and choosing to trust myself I said Yes! So today was the day...and what an enriching experience it ended up being.  I met wonderful people from Germany and France, from across the Canadian landscape, and as well from right here in my own backyard. The round table discussion went very well and what I was most pleased with was being able to remain in the moment, and not fret about what would be asked next and therefore requiring an unprepared answer. Following the afternoon, the group was invited to our province's Governor General's house for an intimate reception, and an opportunity to mingle on an informal basis. It goes without saying that the food was delicious and the atmosphere delightful. I walked away an hour ago, feeling more confident for having agreed to participate; happy for the new contacts and acquaintances made,... But I believe the real secret was once again, turning within ahead of time...tapping into my core, my subconscious knowing and getting out of my own way Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance!

Good day Divas Hope You had a fabulous weekend and are ready for another week... I cannot speak for your area of the world, but here in Manitoba Canada - the energy of fall can be felt. Families are getting ready to go back to school on Septembrer 7th after our upcoming long weekend, the evenings are a touch cooler and the days are getting a touch shorter... and so the cycle begins once again. Fall energy for me is really about going into the "Do Mode" at another level. It is the time I set up my routines for the next four months - till Christmas. Yeah, I know... routines are not necessarily glamorous or sexy but my they do work. That is my reason for continuing to work with routines and trying to find the ones that allow for the most grace and ease throughout the days and weeks... There are many benefits to consciously going into the "Do Mode" at the same time as the rest of the world - going with the flow is so much easier than swimming against the current. You cannot control the wind but you can certainly adjust your sails. Here are some of the advantages that I have found in consciously going into "Do mode" with routines in place: - I can get up first thing in the morning and know what to do and how to plug into where I left off, even if my head on a particular morning is not completely clear; - small amounts of attention, and intention towards a particular project gives big results if done on a continuous basis; - small amounts of intention and attention to the desired goal strengthens my commitment muscles; - consistent attention and intention towards my purposeful work retrains my neuronal pathways and my subconscious mind. The point is, by implementing strategies in a routine way I increase my productivity, boost my self confidence and self-esteem, and most importantly I increase my level of self trust. Now that ladies makes implementing routines at this time of year, all worth while to me. Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Internal Success and Abundance! Lynette Ritual Divas Community
