Other’s Expectations
Continuing on with my personal examination of this Lenten season, this letter is addressed to “They”. Why? Because I have some things to say to “them”. 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”
Lenten Letters: Procrastination
Our current focus on giving things up for Lent has led me to undertake this series of releases. Attempting to let go of any number of behaviors, concerns, ideas or situations. On this edition of “Becoming Today”, I’m seeking to say goodbye to procrastination. Hello Rochelle, Well we’ve been down this road before, haven’t we?Continue reading “Lenten Letters: Procrastination”

Having wrapped up what we called the year of “+2“, that also shifts our annual focus. While least year’s theme of “Resurrect Positivity” is something we can always continue to focus on, this editionContinue reading “From Within”
Let Go
You can not create a state of “Becoming”, if you aren’t willing to let the former or current realities go. Letting Go is our focus now on “Becoming Today.” It’s something we have all had to ask ourselves, multiple times. Some more than others, but nonetheless it is simply a part of the human condition.WhenContinue reading “Let Go”

While we walk this shared path together,Continue reading “Removing Roadblocks”
