“Get bold! Fall in love with the unknown.” ∞ DT
I have a post-it with this message on my computer. It speaks to the part of me that is at times hesitant about stepping outside my comfort zone. I truly thrive living at my growing edge, and, some days it is easier to do this than others!
This week I filmed myself and a couple friends giving away free hugs in Santa Monica, California. It was an incredible experience. I hope to have the video up within 3 to 4 weeks.
This is a good video to explain the path of the Wounded Healer, published by Humanity International.
A few notes:
Although The Wounded Healer is a catchy title, the point that we can become wise and even healed from our past pain is a valid one. I would be cautious, however, in identifying oneself as being “wounded”, even if it’s associated with being a healer. Calling oneself wounded keeps one in bondage of woundation (creative word to convey my meaning). This being said, anyone who has done healing work knows that the path of healing is that…a path. It is ongoing, and occurs in layers. If one is on the path of self-awareness, he or she travels from having been wounded, to healing, to being a healer, which can take many forms. It is the natural course of things.

For daughter’s 8th grade graduation project, she created a video to help the people of Haiti. My girl is so proud of her accomplishment, and I am beaming for her. To watch the video, click the link above. After viewing, please press “Like”,then pass it around. She has a goal of 1 million people viewing, and of course raising lots of money for Haiti. Thank You!

I know someone who appears to have a “large ego”. He is boastful and often takes opportunities to draw attention to himself, even in his “contribution” to people. I know from my work that boastfulness, an aspect of what I consider the negative ego, ultimately stems from fear, but sometimes after being around this person (and feeling particularly impatient), I would contemplate what aspect of fear might be at play. As Abraham Lincoln once said, “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.”
