FINDING THE FUNNY – The Tangled Thoughts of a Woman




Have this ever happened to you?  It is really pretty funny when you think about it! smiley

A woman is a person who, if she says to a man, "Never mind, I'll do it myself," and he then lets her, and she gets mad. 

He says, "Now what are you mad about?"

And she says, "Well if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you."

CBL#149 – Sidney Andrews and Authentic Living




My guest, Sidney Andrews, encourages people to "Make a difference, instead of seeing a difference." Her compelling memoir documenting leaving her marriage and children to live with the woman of her dreams and a lesbian lifestyle is a story of courage and faith. She had to look inward deeper than she ever had before to find her authentic truth and then live it as an outcast initially. "The rewards are worth the price," she told me. To listen to the show in it's entirety, click listen below. It includes a WHOA Baby on how heads of models are being put on digitally generated bodies in advertising!!!

She has a daily column called "Ask Sidney," on the Treasure Coast Happens, an online newspaper, covering the Treasure Coast in Florida.Her website is www.sidney-andrews.com. 

Her call to action:

Awareness brings knowledge, knowledge brings understanding, and understanding awakens us to living a life of compassion, tolerance and respect for all people. Look deeper then your physical eyes can see. Look at each other through the eyes of spirit.

Don't just simply judge another for their look, dress, lifestyle or sexual preference; talk with them and listen to their feeling, fears, hopes and dreams, because you'll find, they're not unlike your own.

Take on the challenge of living the best life that you envision for yourself, and allow others the same opportunity.

ARTICLE – Assume the Best




What would happen if you ALWAYS assumed the best?  It would mean giving people the benefit of the doubt no matter what prior circumstances may have taken place that would cause you to question their intentions. When you assume the best, you can actually create the space for the person to step into their best. 

Don Miguel Ruiz, author of "The Four Agreements," writes that when you agree not to make assumptions about others, you are on a path to your own freedom.  Freedom from the emotional baggage of the past, and freedom from the worry of a heavy heart. Can you feel how much lighter your spirit would be if you let go of trying to figure out what makes someone else tick?
 
Now I do believe that Don Miguel is accurate in the freedom of not making any assumptions, and I think it is a tall order for most humans. It happens so automatically and the bad news about that is, if you don't recognize it the assumptions start to pile up and you can lose sight of the truth completely. 
 
Making a distinction between what you actually know, and what you have assumed is a practice in and of itself. It is a constant inquiry of noticing whether you have clear evidence of the truth or if you have created a story in your mind of what you want the truth to be.
 
Why bother with this inner work of assumptions? It keeps your inner space clean and clear adding honesty and strength to all your relationships. Is that worth the time to pay closer attention?
 
Working with your assumptions requires you to breathe, feel your feet on the ground, and carefully look at what you know and what you are making up about the situation.  
 
To start practicing the work of busting assumptions, begin to notice what goes through your mind about others. When you enter the market or workplace, and greet people, what are your thoughts about the people you interact with? How much of what you are thinking is a fact and how much is an assumption?  The results may surprise you!
 
Now here is a giant size "ASSUME THE BEST"challenge. Your teenager/husband/wife comes home smelling like he/she is drunk. Assume the best. Start by expecting that they acted responsibly in getting home, and there is a reasonable explanation. Breathe (you can never breathe enough) and calmly listen. What difference would that approach make in the outcome of your interaction?
 
Let's attract the very best out of each other.

ARTICLE: Monogamous Sex and Sustainable Relationships




As we begin to understand the differences in the male and female brain regarding our sexual desires and libidos, it feels important to examine the way we view monogamy in a long term sustainable relationship.

Monogamy, as defined by wikipedia, is one + marriage; a form of marriage in which an individual has only one spouse at any one time. Monogamous sex is to have one sexual partner at a time irrespective of marriage or reproduction.

 

We see in our media, men being lambasted for having sexual encounters outside of the relationship/marriage. In the US, it doesn't matter what profession or social status, men are finding the need for pleasure outside of their primary relationship.  We do not hear about women much in the media, even though there are some that report their infidelity is as common as in men. I, personally, find this difficult to believe as the scientific evidence is confirmed that the sexual center in the male brain is 2-1/2 times larger than the female brain. Dr. Louann Brizendine, author of "The Female Brain," and "The Male Brain," writes that adolescent boys think about sex every 9 seconds while adolescent girls think about it once a day. This is some mighty powerful wisdom to consider in why men are having all those sexual encounters…imagine if your brain just couldn't turn it off the desire. I also take a stand for women finding their true inner sexuality so that they can experience more pleasure during sex which makes a man more turned on to have sex with YOU.

 

However, underneath the sexual desires of the male brain, lies a need for a deep and meaningful connection to another human being. A woman has that same need.  A sexually monogamous relationship is one pathway for that to happen. 

 

Although there are plenty of arguments, about the boring and routine nature of monogamous sex in a long term relationship, there are three significant aspects to monogamy that, in my mind, make it the best pathway to deep and meaningful connection and sustainability.

 

    1)    Why are we in relationship with others? I believe relationships, such as marriage, are there to reflect back to us who we are in our deepest truth. When a sacred space of trust and love is the foundation for sexual monogamy, the potential to learn about yourself is ripe for the taking. We can'?t see ourselves the way the world sees us, so our loved ones give us feedback on our impact. When you commit to a healthy sexually monogamous relationship, the stage is set for deep truths to be shared and revealed. When we share ourselves with others (more than one lover at a time), I don't see how it is possible to achieve the same depth of connection. Do women want depth more then men???

 

    2)    In a sexually monogamous relationship that is honest and healthy, the atmosphere is one of calm, peace, and love. There is complete transparency with no need to hide any details of your life. The more that is exposed, received, and appreciated by your partner, the closer the bond.

 

    3)    An obvious advantage is the safety in knowing that, as long as you and your partner are free of disease, there is no transmission of STDs. This also provides a safety net of good health.

 

Let me acknowledge that these points rely on an honesty and integrity to the highest degree for the sacred possibilities of deep and loving connection.

 

For me personally, I like the phrase "hot monogamy" shared by one of my inner beauty experts, Magatte Wade.Give me the familiar mixed with some ongoing curiosity and adventure, and I am one satisfied sexual being! :)

Thoughts, reactions…bring it on!
