WHY ARE THE HOLIDAYS SO HARD.
Holidays- WHY ARE THEY SO HARD.
The word conjures mixed feelings of nostalgia, sadness, joy, excitement, and a lump in my throat.
In a chaotic world, the routine of the holidays can be a special anchor of connection- the anchor of Grandma’s mashed potatoes, the way we always put that greenery just so, the special plates we always use, even Uncle Joe’s snarky commentary at the dinner table is secretly loved because it is HIM and we would rather be in a room with all of our people than not with them.
Can't Stop Snooping through your Boyfriend's Phone?
I recently had someone reach out to me saying, “Brooke, Help! I’m really anxious and cannot stop snooping through my boyfriend’s phone to see if he’s cheating!”
Sister, put. That. Phone. Down.
If he actually is cheating, you won’t find it because there are all sorts of sneaky ways for someone to hide their behavior with technology that you can’t even imagine. It’s a dark world out there.
The Next Sexual Revolution
Does the male desire for sex trigger you? Make you squirm, angry, uncomfortable, frustrated, confused? Even full of rage? Esther Perel says, “it’s not that women don’t like sex, they just don’t like the sex they’re having.” I concur.
Home is what Makes your Heart
And it’s all so complex isn’t it? This business of life and of loving. My prayer or thought or hope or however you conceptualize that abstract concept of our oneness is that you STOP today and ponder the wonder and the mystery of it all and allow yourself to fall in love with the beauty of your people—because they made you and continue to make you.
"Woman is Life"--Joseph Campbell
Heal yourself woman. Find your heart and dance towards your bliss. As you heal your feminine spirit, men around you will change: you will no longer have ANY tolerance for abuse, mis-treatment or boundary crossings--but the men who are craving a healthy relationship with the feminine will be drawn to you like honey.
The Solution to Valentine's Day Woes: Becoming the Femme Vitale
In all of nature, the female of the species requires her mate to compete for her, to work for her, to show off for her—and then she coolly chooses the male who most suits her fancy and her delight....
Betsy Prioleau, says,” [seductresses] strike terror into the insecure male heart…yet paradoxically seductresses are often the best thing to happen to a man. Contrary to fable, they’re usually femme vitales who put air in a man’s tank, conferring growth, creativity, happiness, and authentic masculinity” (Seductresses: Women Who Ravished the World and their Lost Art of Love, p. 2). When a man courageously faces his fears of engulfment and embraces the seductress, he will discover his own kingship, warrior, lover and sage within himself.
Healing from Divorce: Recovering the Wild Woman
Recovering the wild woman archetype is essential to healing from a painful divorce or break-up. But most have no idea who that figure is. She is hidden beneath the extremes of both the perfect good girl and the out of control bimbo. Neither way will heal you. But finding your wild nature will transform everything.
