Challenges on the
Path of the Heart

by Sandy Penny, WritingMuse

The challenges include:
  1. Bringing the ego into the path of love in ways that honor it and do not judge the ego as bad or something to be anihilated or stripped of power. Loving the ego into cooperation with your divinity is one of the goals. The ego is valuable and get a bad rap.
  2. Loving family and friends for who they are and not what you want them to be, striving toward unconditional love. Unconditional love is almost impossible while in a body because there are limitations and expectations rampant in this world.
  3. Releasing judgment of those who act in unloving ways. Striving to love them as the divine spirit that is challenged by this human experience, as each of us is. 
  4. Loving the difficulties in life and knowing that we are being challenged to new levels of love, acceptance, allowing and transcendence.
  5. We can create new paradigms that are more joyful, more loving, more compassionate, and filled with beauty. We can learn through joy.



This is an amazing recording I found while writing this post. Perfect.

Love is a Choice

YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD When I was in my 20s, my son and I used to listen to and sing "You and Me Against the World" by Helen Reddy.  It was our way of bonding. When I was on Norfolk Island, AU, I met her. She lives there now, and we had a chance to talk many times at our favorite coffee shop. We talked about how when she wrote, "I Am woman," she had no idea that it would become such a big hit and be the anthem for the women's lib movement. She was just writing from her life experiences as a woman in a bad relationship. She knew she deserved better, and writing the song was her impetus to change that situation. Shortly after that, she wrote, "You and Me Against the World," for her daughter because being on her own in those days with a child was pretty difficult. Again, she was writing from her life experience. I was divorced and felt much of what she was feeling about raising a child alone, and sometimes it felt like "you and me against...

Love and Facebook Friends

Love and Facebook Friends . by Sandy Penny . WritingMuse This morning I was perusing Facebook, and I had a woman "friend" me from another country. I have a pretty open policy about friending, so I accepted her request. I always visit those who friend me so I can know what's on their site and get acquainted. I noticed a post on her page that said, "I'm sorry, I can't be friends with you because I don't understand your language." "I'm sorry, I can't be friends with you because I don't understand your language." It hit me like a ton of bricks. What a perfect statement of the conflict in the world. It was just cosmic. I felt bad for the woman who felt the need to say that publicly. And, I wondered what the woman who tried to friend her felt about it. I chatted with her, and she was quite nice and said, "Oh, it was nothing. I just want to be friends with everyone." I loved her attitude, and I still felt the need ...
