Love Notes Volume #11                                                            November 2019

I hope the upcoming holiiday season is a great one for you.

 

Last year some of  my Love Notes were focused on the Power of Hope, the Power of Surrender, and the Power of Faith, This Note is dedicated to the Power of Gratitude.

 

I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for being part of my community— opening my emails, sending positive energy and prayers, connecting in real time and online. 
          
       What do you have in your life right now for which to be grateful?

       Whom can you thank today?

 

Showing gratitude increase your chances of receiving more of it and can improve all your relationships.

 

As I continue to help individuals and couples to communicate with more compassion, I realize how much the words “thank you” (and “I’m sorry”) have the power to change lives. 

 

It allows us to focus on the “half fullness” instead of the missing half.  

 

And, of course, what we focus on can increase by virtue of our attention and intention of creating more.

 

       What words of gratitude can you share with someone today – right now?

 

You can start here – with appreciation for yourself.

 

Thank you for being the wonderful person that you are.
Thank you for all you do to help others.
Thank you for all you want to share with the world.
Thank you for being willing to grow and learn.
Thank you, for allowing yourself to feel your feelings and express your needs.

Thank you for accepting and forgiving any ways in which you fall short of your own judgments and self criticisms.

 

Thank you, Linda, for taking care of your body, mind and spirit.
Thank you for the light you bring to all who know you.

 

Thanks again for EVERYTHING! 

Much love and gratitude,

Instrument of Peace

I pray for peace.
Peace in my heart,
peace in my family,
peace in my country,
peace in the world.

I pray to be
An Instrument of Peace.

One to which one can attune,
not tune out.

One to whom someone can turn,
not avoid.
One to be soothing and healing
not cacophonous and loud.

I pray for harmony,
within and without

I pray for grace
and love and healing.

I ask that I be forgiven
for all the ways I have caused distress.

And that I be guided
to share joy and gratitude.

and with thanks to St. Francis of Assisi…..

Lord make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
And where there is sadness, joy.
O divine master grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive-
and it’s in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it’s in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Relationship Limbo – Take Time to Make a Decision.

Relationship Limbo – Take Time to Make a Decision.

Welcome to the State of Limbo -how to get clear on what to do about your relationship.

Limbe feels like that area in the travelogue in which you seem to run around in circles, or just state a sit-down strike and don’t move at all.

It may be true that your vistas are limited and your opportunities for new experiences are narrowed.

You might be willing to sacrifice the ability to move forward for the security—no matter how fleeting or illusory—of holding onto the relationship, marriage, person and/or dream. It’s your trip and you can plan it any way you want.

(Click HERE to learn about my Program to help you now!)

And when you visit or move into Limbo, you will be offered incessant advice from well-meaning friends and relatives:

  • “Why don’t you just file for divorce?”
  • “Get on with your life!
  • “Why can’t you let go?”
  • “You’ll be much better off if you just face reality and move on!
  • “When are you going to wake up and let your lawyer do his job?”

And some days you will take a few steps forward, to be followed the next day by several steps back into stagnation, lethargy or the familiar territory of the State of Limbo.

WHY WE STAY IN LIMBO

Many people wonder why they can’t move on. There are several reasons:

  • ANGER —“I’m too angry to make any decision. Let him/her take action. I’m not doing anything!”
  • CODEPENDENCY — “If I stay nice/loving/available, he’ll love me more/again.”
  • DENIAL — “If I don’t make any decisions or take any actions then maybe this really isn’t happening.”
  • HOPE — “Maybe he’ll change/end the affair/give up the booze/realize what he’s missing and come home.”
  • FEAR — “I’m afraid if I let go, I’ll be a bag lady/alone/unloved unwanted/abandoned.”
  • FINANCIAL— “The money is too much to give up.”
  • GRIEF  — “It’s all I can do to function. I can’t do any more now.”
  • HEALING TIME  — “I’m adjusting to my loss and that’s all I can do at this time.”
  • LACK OF SELF ESTEEM — “I would be nothing without my spouse.”
  • MANIPULATION ‑ “I’m waiting for the right time to make any movement. I’m going to travel and spend his money for as long as I can.”
  • OVERWHELM “I feel so bad/sad/scared that I can’t seem to make any decisions.” (Deciding not to decide IS a decision.)
  • PAIN — “I hurt too much to add other things to my life now.
  • SADNESS — “I’m too sad to take any action.”
  • SELF CRITICISM — “I feel so weak, stupid, powerless.” (As you lower your already vulnerable self esteem quotient.)
  • STRATEGIC —“If he has to file first, he’ll feel more guilty and be more generous.”

HOW IT FEELS TO BE “IN LIMBO”

Sometimes limbo does offer space to heal, grieve, plan, adjust.

It is important for you to listen to your own inner voice to tell you what is right for you.

Don’t take action for the sake of pleasing anyone else or because of what other people think.  It’s your life and your future and you are the one to determine what is in your best interest.

You will know when it is time to move on, and that will be when the pain of staying where you are is greater than the fear of taking whatever is the next step for you (asking your partner to leave, leaving seeing a mediator, filing for divorce, letting your lawyer do discovery, going back to school, getting a job, etc.)

From time to time, you may feel exasperated with yourself, and then you add “guilt” to the other feelings you are trying to manage: “I know I should do something more.” (You are “shoulding” on yourself.)

Give yourself permission to be wherever you are.

Know that you are on your path and you will move forward when you are ready, willing, and able.

Don’t compound the pain of a possible separation or divorce with the guilt of “shoulding” on yourself.

Allow yourself the time and space and peace you need to adjust before you move on to the next step, whatever that is.

LEAVING LIMBO

You will be ready to move when you are aware that staying hurts too much.

And then you might move into a different state of limbo, but at least you are moving.

To help you move forward with confidence, courage, and clarity, my book will help. Compassionate Mediation® for Relationships at a Crossroads: How to Add Passion to Your Marriage or Compassion to Your Divorce.
