Here’s a Haiku about you!

Jeanett Maw is great.
teaching me empowerment.
what a gift to give!

When I think about things that I am dissatisfied with now, I cannot even finish the sentences in my head! Everything is already instantly perfect. You are like a ray of sunshine piercing the long dark night of the soul.

So even an “imperfect” world is really perfect, right? At least I’m thinking so. Which means of course Universe is always perfect. Even when it seems it isn’t.

Anyway … that seems like the kind of logic that works for most of me, but part desn’t buy into it 100%. What DOES work for me is remembering that I’m a rock chip magnet, and that handles the “it can’t all be perfect” expectation I may hold on to at times. lol

Like when my doctor’s assistant was asking me lifestyle questions a decade or so ago, and I got everything “right” except the seat belt question, and she said “Well, we can’t all be perfect, but that one’s not optional. So you better start buckling up and pick up a habit of swearing instead.” hee hee

So the bottom line core belief was ‘life isn’t perfect, you don’t quite get what you want’. And the thing is, even imagining having EVERYTHING I want, including a shift in this relationship where I’m actually treated well 7 days a week instead of 3 or 4, is UNCOMFORTABLE…like it challenges that ‘the universe isn’t perfect’ vibe and makes me uncomfortable! Ack!

So what I arrived at, was using the basic components of the Sedona Method to dissolve the underlying feeling, which was ‘hopelessness’. Is that something that would give the the result I want? It sure feels right!

At any rate, this was–again–the perfect thing for me today!! Thank you Jeannette!!

At the ICF coach conference last weekend, one of the speakers said dogs are the new coaches. The coach sitting next to me said “Hmmph. Dogs are the ORIGINAL coaches!”

So true!!

Sometimes, though, I have to call him Sensei, as he sometimes teaches me as a Zen Master might.

I’m not suggesting dogs in bed are what’s most important (although that’s certainly key in my life), but what IS important is knowing what that is for ourselves. Knowing our own priorities and values. Like maybe a happy wife, and getting over some dog hair.

It’s all good, huh? lol Does Picasso have a nickname?

Our British Staffie, Picasso, sleeps in bed with us, under the covers near the foot of the bed.

You know how things like this start: he was the runt, the breeder was willing to give him to us because we had had a staffie before and know how much they need realtime, in your face, love, it was winter, he got used to it ….. and (4 years later) I know one day soon so will I. LOL …. no, I find it wonderful now.

But I can resonate with someone who has to work to make it ok. However I got that I had to change, cuz Picasso won’t change, and my wife sure as hell isn’t going to.

That’s what I love about Martha: simple, straightforward, and effective.
