My LIFE has always been SAVED, over and over again, by PEOPLE who have TAKEN ME IN, by guiding me, raising me, and educating me.
Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging“, as I know each of these pieces represents something…
“One of my favorite solo Valentine’s Days was when I took myself on a movie date. I picked a film I knew I’d love, grabbed my favorite snacks, and just enjoyed the experience without worrying about anyone else’s preferences. It was simple, but it made me realize that Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about romantic love — it can just be about love, period. Love for myself, for my life, and for the things that make me happy.” —Stephanie Edenburgh, 36, San Diego, California

As an educator and the founder of your writing community, you counsel people on writing. What are some tips you can offer?
I like telling folks to write from the belly, not the brain. Meaning, when I’m doing a first draft, I’m not writing with an internal editor. There’s so much time to think about editing, cutting, and form later. But a critical eye now isn’t helpful, just like a critical eye wouldn’t be helpful if you’re sitting down to meditate. You’re trying to unarchive what is there, what is present, what is with you, and what wants to come to the surface. The beautiful thing is that it always emerges, it just needs space. – Joy Sullivan
The next time you are in your car, notice that there’s a big windshield in the front and a very small rearview mirror. The reason the front windshield is so big and the rearview is so small is that what’s happened in the past is not nearly as important as what is in your future. Where you’re going is a lot more important than where you’ve been. Living purposefully is essentially a choice to grow and to give for life and lets your brain know you want to focus on contributing to life. When you set your daily intention on hope for what will be and gratitude for what is, you won’t have the time or the desire to worry about what’s already past. So, if you’re feeling stuck staring into the rearview mirror, remember you’re the one in the driver’s seat. You can choose to shift gears from Reverse to Drive at any time. Do it daily and it becomes a habit. Practice “growing and giving for life and it becomes who you are.
“Close your eyes and imagine the best version of you possible. That’s who you really are, let go of any part of you that doesn’t believe it.” — C. Assad
