EPL

December 5th, 2008

What if the way you related to all things in your life – people, events, circumstances – originated with you being empowered, peaceful and  loving?

We’ve dabbled with these concepts individually, we kind of go through phases.  It’s now time to put them together, and it’s where they make the most sense.  If you’re feeling in your greatness (empowered) it’s easier to see things as in the flow (peaceful) where the by-product is feeling really positive feelings about what you’re relating to (loving).

Hmmm, so how do we get there?  Luckily we live in a era where personal development is almost a requirement!  There are crate loads of systems, concepts, theories, programs, philosophies enough to satisfy anyone’s preference.  And any one of them will help you come from EPL which could also be an acronym for Everybody’s Perfect Life.

Here’s a simple tool to get you started: Self Concept Inventory  Have some fun with this one.  Do it with a friend and talk about the answers. You might be surprised to see what  emerges!

Fern and Rose

December 4th, 2008

The flowers

Two beautiful ladies, rommmates aged 89 and 94 and with lovely names from Nature, Fern and Rose.

Interesting facts: Fern was a hand model in NYC in the 40’s. Rose has a tatoo on her arm that she got when she was 15, almost 80 years ago!

Fern is my mom, one of the most gracious and accepting beings I’ve ever encountered.

Rose is my friend, a grand mixture of comedy, kindness and depth.

Ba-dum-bum

December 4th, 2008

A woman in her eighties made the evening news because she was getting married for the fourth time.

The following day she was being interviewed by a local TV station, and the commentator asked about what it felt to be married again at that age and would she share part of her previous experiences, since it seem quite unique the fact that her new husband was a ‘funeral director.’

After a short time to think, a smile came to her face and she proudly explained that she had first married a banker when she was in her twenties, in her forties she married a circus ring master, and in her sixties she married a pastor and now in her eighties, a funeral director. The amazed commentator asked her why she had married men with such diverse carriers.

With a smile on her face she explained, ‘I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.’
