Releasing myself from the expectations of others, is the focus of this edition of “Becoming Today”. Hello “They”, I have had enough. I am saying no more! I honestlyContinue reading “Other’s Expectations”

Thank You, but…
Not grammatically the best way to begin however this is one of those discussions full of contrasts. Weighing all sides, then recalling we are not limited to just two sides of every question, so choosing to examine the perspectives from 360 points of view, the circle continues to spin and my inability to make aContinue reading “Thank You, but…”
Enslavement
The subjugation to suppression, bondage, and duress. In this case not to another person. Not to an entity. Not by governmental action, nor criminal activity. The enslavement I need to “give up” is to the issues lingering from within, that are holding me captive and preventing me from moving on. That’ll be the focus ofContinue reading “Enslavement”
Indecision
Decisions are something that apparently more than a few people have trouble with. As I often have shared, I belong to the schools of thought that teach,…. What happens when you make a decision? Either it works. Or it doesn’t It always made perfect sense to me, however as we’ll explore on this edition ofContinue reading “Indecision”
Questioning Questioning
There is no question mark required. I am most definitely questioning my questioning. In this “Lenten Letter” I am realizing a connection between several issues I am attempting to ‘give up’. My resistance seems to stem from my denying myself and remaining adhered to false labels and past identities. That will be our focus onContinue reading “Questioning Questioning”
Selfish Selfishness
Part of the process. Another piece of the puzzle. As this enigma, wrapped in a mystery shrouded by my own self imposed limitations, is again exorcising another revelation in my daily seasonal therapy. In this “Lenten Letter” I am realizing my inability to address not being selfish to myself stems from a realization of myContinue reading “Selfish Selfishness”
Malaise
I’m sorry for the overly positive headline today… well maybe not, but it is an honest straight to the point summation of the observation I’ve been making about the overall condition my condition has been in the past few days. Not very Becoming I admit, but truthful. So as we progress together in this “LentenContinue reading “Malaise”
Allowing To Blossom
When last we spoke I mentioned I had been noticing some recurring patterns. Again I am cognisant of those connections, seeing them more clearly and appreciating the synchronicities. On this edition of “Becoming Today”, we’ll discuss how letting go of some things allows them and us to blossom. One of the concurrences of events I’mContinue reading “Allowing To Blossom”
Clarifying Connections
So I’ve been noticing some things. Evidence of recurring patterns that I have recognized as I continue to move forward in this real time series of “Lenten Letters”. On this edition of “Becoming Today” we’ll examine how clarifying these connections is aiding my goal, while causing even more things to come into the light. HeyContinue reading “Clarifying Connections”
Green Day in Several Ways
On this edition of “Becoming Today”, we’ll look at this green day in a number of different and totally unrelated ways…. First let’s begin with why the 17th of March always required me to wear green. As the very secular observance of St. Patrick’s day is observed, my first memories of the “holiday” had toContinue reading “Green Day in Several Ways”
Stopping Self Sabotage
More than a few years ago, Jimmy Buffet came to a realization. I can hear his thoughts ringing in my head today as I recall, “some people claim there’s a woman to blame, but I know it’s my own damn fault….” You know what? When it comes to today’s conversation, I’m accepting that it isContinue reading “Stopping Self Sabotage”
Withholding
No, this “Lenten Letter” is not about making an anti-tax statement, rather it is addressed to my need to ‘give up’ not giving something to myself that I freely extend to others. I’ll explain on this edition of “Becoming Today”. Dear Rochelle, I know how you feel today. Something is amiss, not connecting, preventing meContinue reading “Withholding”
Giving Up Busyness
Now beginning our fourth week of this Lenten season, I am continuing to seek solace and wisdom in understanding the things I need to release. On this edition of “Becoming Today” in this “Lenten Letter”, I am seeking to ‘give up’ the unnecessary habit of being busy for busy’s sake. Hey Rochelle, Yeah it’s meContinue reading “Giving Up Busyness”
Controlling Time
“Becoming Today” is all about timing. The decisions, choices and options we have are related to when things will occur and trusting that the timing is right on schedule. However we must accept that schedule is not due to our planning or wishes, so in this “Lenten Letter”, I am seeking to ‘give up’ theContinue reading “Controlling Time”
Milestone Moment
One year ago… well more precisely it was exactly a year ago, this past Wednesday, that I shared for the first time an intensely personal tale from my life. I had never spoken publicly about it before then. So while Fridays are usually my time to discuss random thoughts and current events for the nextContinue reading “Milestone Moment”
