Self Realization

Being Curious

December 22, 2016 By Kim Cox

I love to wrap presents. Wrapping Christmas gifts brings great joy!  Enhancing a gift and making it even more special for the recipient is exciting! It is like foreplay is to intercourse. Fun, exciting and full of anticipation of what is to come. And sometimes it is even better than the gift…I am talking about the wrapping […]

October 4, 2016 By Kim Cox

bouncing up and down

I think and write a lot about trusting your gut, your intuition or your feelings. It can be tricky trying to figure out if you have it right. I am not talking about right or wrong, just if you are aligned with what is right for you at this moment.

Positively Made from a Negative

I remember I used to love to look at the negatives when I picked up my pictures from the drug store (if you have no idea what I am talking about, Google how we had to walk uphill both ways to get our film developed;-), much like I used to notice the darkness of the […]

Betrayal, Anger and Forgiveness

June 28, 2016 By Kim Cox

forgive yourself

I was asked by my mentors to write about betrayal. More specifically, how I have felt betrayed by others. I was also encouraged to write in a way that I would avoid planting or stepping on land mines, respecting the others, and in a way that allowed me to be heard. I did what I […]

March 15, 2016 By Kim Cox

Don’t get me wrong, I am all for marriage equality and I am very happy when people achieve a goal they believe in and accomplish — woohoo!! Oh, and this has nothing to do with sexual preferences (to me, the gay community has far more depth than sexuality), so check your judgments at the door […]
