Amends, Part 2

Morning Meds 2.18

 
Amends, Part2
Are you ready for some heart work? I've already given you two weeks off writing, which is more than I ever get! Ha!

Why would we write an amends? Some people are just unsafe to be around, but forgiveness may still be an issue. You do not have to be held hostage if they do not desire to change!

By writing an amends letter you free yourself from all the things you've wanted to say and never could. Not only that, you've got it all out at one time and in one place.

I've discovered learning this spiritual equation works every time. Extreme honesty + pain = supernatural improvement! 

How does it work? I have NO IDEA!

But work it does...I leave you now with the heart work of forgiveness. This equation cost me blood, sweat and tears. Now I know it was all for my clients. ..and for you!

Amends

Morning Meds 2.16

 
Amends
Now that I've got you writing love poems (you did do it right?) this next assignment should be easy!
I find I am recommending the Amends process more and more to my clients. Some of you know I have a background in recovery and that's where this idea comes from. Amends are meant to free us from the bondage of unforgiveness. It has been said that unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. So how can we be free from life's unfairnesses? I'll be addressing this answer over the next couple of blogs.

The first line of defense is laid out in the Word of God, "If your brother offends you go to him." As simple as that is all I can tell you from experience is that nobody does that! We talk to other people about the problem but we don't tell the people we're offended with in an unoffensive way.

But God encourages us to, as much as we can, live at peace with every person. Most of the time just going to them as diplomatically as possible solves it. I even recommend practicing with a friend!

But what if talking to the person  isn't a good idea? What if the person you're angry with is no longer alive? That's where the letter comes in. ..guess I'll give you one more week on that!

Save The Date

Of Taylor and Timberlake

Morning Meds 2.15

 
Of Taylor and Timberlake
Trying on my hat as the queen of the over share, Taylor Swift! (And yes you'll see it in my next hair style...ha!) So as Justin Timberlake brought sexy back so I reintroduce you to the simple love poem, hopefully reminding you of the joy it brings. Write one to the one you love today...see how easy it is?
On a gray day
In a city full of history and power
something inexplicable happened walking next to you
down the art museum hallways.
Questions without answers
Smiles for no reason
Can you see the photographer in the model's eyes? 
For every painting we saw spoke of the artist, so what does that say?
And maybe I am a lovely flower.
And maybe you're a dream come true.
But certainly
together
We're learning to honor
With patience and purity
The God of the
Inexplicable
The flower
And the dream come true.

Strategy for Falling

Morning Meds 2.14

 
Strategy For Falling
Support lines

I love it when people say I'm strong. It gives me an opportunity to set the record straight. I always say that I am not strong, but I have very good support.

Thinking about my hero Nik Wallenda, people always try to add to his stunts to make them seem more believable, I've heard he's actually wearing a parachute, or there's invisible nets or support lines. Nik Wallenda said his only strategy for falling was to cling to the rope itself and hope for the best. That's all we can do if we live a fearless life of risk-taking, which I have chosen to do. But we should have some kind of plan.

A Proverb states that, "a man plans his way, but the Lord directs His steps." Can we presume then that if you don't plan, God won't give direction? That seems 100% true in the lives of my clients.

On my tight rope journey of late I've had to cling to the rope of my supporters, trading the love of someone who no longer is committed to me for those whose love is only growing brighter for me through the years.

I've also found music to be an important strategy for me. I tripled my music budget to help get me through this season, when no one answers on the other end of the phone, songs are always there as my friends reminding me of Love's constant presence.

What about you? Even if you're undefeated like Nik Wallenda, do you have a strategy for if you fall? Keep it simple so you can remember and meditate on it even when you're despairing or confused. My one sentence to take me into my next season, "I chose joy!" (It's a good choice.)

The Artist of Teetering

Morning Meds 2.12

 
The Artist of Teetering
Funambulism (how's that for a cool word!) is the art of teetering, or tightrope walking, if you will.
It's foremost artist is Nik Wallenda, and if you're a Chicagoan, you surely know that he successfully walked between the Marina Towers here this week.

I love to speak about this model of balance that this art creates for a life well lived. Last night I learned a new lesson associated with balanced living...Patience. The broadcast began at 6, but we didn't know when the 8 minutes of walking would begin. I waited on a nearby rooftop about an hour and a half to see it.

Wallenda says "Life is on the wire, everything else is just waiting." Waiting for conditions to be right, waiting for our focus to be clear, waiting for the safety precautions to be securely in place.

I know something of this waiting for life. It's hard to envision yourself in a fulfilling relationship without a picture to put in that place. So I think God gave me a bookmark to save my place in this book of life for the last year and a half, but looking at a bookmark isn't the same as reading/writing your story.
It seems most fitting then, that on the night I got to see my hero live, I got to take some of my first steps. I'm no longer waiting. I too am living on the wire!
