I love soaking up all these different advices and nudges into the best direction that is Loving Life and Loving Ourselves so we can Love Others Completely! :) I am still trying to figure out what I can do to 'get suppressed feelings' out that might still be stuck in there in a way that feels fun, good and not too aggressive. I thought of getting boxing gloves as a symbol; I always wanted a punching bag growing up but no one took me seriously, even my dad who is an upholsterer so he could've made me one!! ;) I thought that'd be fun! Now, i don't necessarily want that anymore, but its interesting I can see that desire in a whole new 'spirit' angle now that i was wanting to get unsuppressed even then! It's surprising how much we suppress things in our society! Working on the more holistic way--that leads to true happiness! :) i know it'll take time, but I'm in it for the long haul and for the cheers! take care, and keep up the great blogs! :) ~Jen btw I love #1 You are unique, and no one else in the entire universe is just like you are. [learning to embrace this truth in my life] thank-you! :) Random 5 things that make me happiest: 1. Journaling --i feel so free, nothing else matters in those moments 2. Writing - to share and help others -ease their burdens to know they aren't alone and help them so they don't have to go through quite as much as you did :) 3. Enjoy nature! Everything about it is captivating and beautiful! Miracles are everywhere! 4. Music - creates any atmosphere you can imagine and is healing for the soul :) 5. Pet Companions - they just 'get us' .. without words! my bunny Angel is the best ever!! .-= Jen´s last blog ..<a href="http://towalkthishealingpath.blogspot.com/2009/08/progressive-healing-marshmallow-sacred.html" rel="nofollow">Progressive Healing; Marshmallow & Sacred Spaces...</a> =-.
