I Didn’t Get to Taste the Deer Meat!!

Posted on July 29, 2010 | 1 Comment

I just read a blog that stated follow your heart – stating that if you follow your heart, you will always end up in the right direction. The blogger even stated that it was the next best guide to the Holy Bible. I thought, really? Another commentator spoke about your heart leading you to people who seem to lack a moral compass and to be careful. I too, felt a little ill at ease from the post and threw some additional caution to the ambitious blogger.

While I agree that you must follow your heart, I have grown to comprehend that if you don’t understand why your heart feels the way it does, then your moral compass can’t guide you accurately. We develop our moral compass as children through the guidance of our family, friends, culture, etc. But our perception as children isn’t always correct. Then as adults we spend much time using a compass that’s out of whack which is why we tend to find ourselves repeating the same patterns in our relationships.

An example of an innocent memory gone wrong… Continue reading →

I AM A SUPER-PARENT’S KID: Shoot Me Now!

Posted on July 27, 2010 | 2 Comments

I said I was going to write this piece following the Pendulum and so (some time much later…) here I sit to put my thoughts down. In my earlier post, I spoke lightly about how this dilemma has impacted my family and we’re working to understand it all. While researching the subject, I came across many sides of the coin (so-to-speak). I could highlight the absent parent, present parent, the child that challenges their parent’s life lessons or one that idealizes their parent’s every thought. And there are many possibilities in between. As parents we never really know how our actions are playing out in the mind of our child, but we do our best. Sooo…

Are you a SUPER-PARENT’S kid? Let’s map out some possibilities and see where it goes – let’s create some characters.

Just Like Sea Grass

Posted on July 22, 2010 | 3 Comments

I ran across a website while I was looking for ideas for a photoshoot that had information about sea grass. Not sure why I found it interesting, but you know how quirky I am about information. The details stuck in my head. Something about the way it read made me relate sea grass to human existence. A quick first read, yes… it seemed that way.

So, I returned to the site (www.pureadventurepr.com) to read a little more and this is what I found. Let’s see how I can translate this… I know I’m special – no apologies from me… Lol!!

“Sea grass are plants that have roots, stem, leaves, flower, fruits and seeds adapted to live on the sea floor. They live close to the shore and at deeper depths where sun light penetrates. Sea grass grows better in sandy and muddy sea floor rich in organic material and calcium carbonate.”

“Humans are beings that have spirituality, family, oneself, ideas, goals and accomplishments which they adapt to life on earth. They live close to God and at deeper depths where God’s light penetrates. Humans grow stronger through trials and tribulations covered rich in God’s grace and love.”

More simply stated, we have “components” which we “adjust or fit” to our “time” here on earth just like see grass. Yep, we’re just like sea grass. And… yes, I found this exercise kinda fun. nerd @ primarythoughts.net
