Your Relationships
Interpersonal relationships are the meaning in our lives. Not one
dying person in the history of time ever spent their last few seconds lamenting
unfinished business or goals, or counting their accomplishments or money. Our last few
seconds are spent remembering our loves and the people in our lives that gave our life
meaning.
We are all dying. Day by day we edge closer to our last breath, day by day our bodies
succumb to nature’s grand plan. And then we are gone. And then the ones we love are
gone.
The interpersonal relationships we cultivate along the way are the very essence of our
human journey. The quality of the relationships in our lives determines
the very quality of our life and the value of the life we lived once we
are gone.
There is no time to lose! Rather than collect stamps or cars or watches
or experiences, let's collect interpersonal connections! And let's make
them grand. Let's live to the fullest, and above all, let's share the love
and joy and pain and sadness we experience WITH others.
"Hey, do you remember that time that we . . . !"
"I sure miss her. I wish . . . !
"He was so funny. He made me feel . . . !"
If your loved one is gone, but you are not at peace, you must still
shine nonetheless. Love's tears can heal anything and anyone, no
matter the depth of the pain. In fact, the deepest pains ever imagined
have been soothed and cured with one single little tear of Love.
Your Relationships
The joy in our memories are never
what or when or where or why or how,
but WITH WHOM!
Let's live with grace. Grace requires compassion. Grace requires patience
and empathy. Grace requires trust and dignity. Grace requires forgiveness.
If you love someone it's time to let it shine. Whether you have
one more day left or ten thousand, don't let one more minute
pass. Shine, shine, shine. Love never tires. You are your own
shining light, and your muse just holds the mirror for you so you
can see yourself!
Your Personal Muse’s shoulder isn't just a place
to cry on, it is also a place to stand on so you
can see that higher place where you're headed.

If anger or pride or indignation are keeping you from
reconciliation or reconnection because of some
terrible wrong, it's time to raise the beautiful white
flag of truce and move through the pain into release
and finally absolution. Forgiveness is not some
mental gymnastic, it is a by-product of a heart which
has grieved and reclaimed Love.
Let us promise that when we take our last breath, that it is
going to be orgasmic and not tragic. And to do this we must start
right now to claim or reclaim the Love that we cherish so much.
Trust Love. Trust yourself. Trust Your Personal Muse. Life is
about the people that we love and the people that love us.
Life isn't worth just living, it is about loving. Turn around!
Look! They're right there! Love! Love! Love!
