From Jeff Foster @ lifewithoutacentre.com GET OVER IT! Please, friend, do not try to 'get over' anything or anyone. You'll only be splitting off from a part of yourself that needs kind attention. Don't attempt to 'move on' today from your grief, your sorrow, your confusion, the empty feeling inside. Feel these friends totally, allow these sacred and misunderstood energies to move through you. They are not 'negative', they are not 'bad', they are not signs of your failure or w...eakness or brokenness, they are only parts of consciousness, fragments of the whole, that want to be felt deeply. They have come to cleanse and to enliven, not to punish. Stop pushing them away and feel their raw unbridled power as they surge through today. Healing is not a destination, it is your willingness to love all of yourself, to take all of life - the joy and the sorrow of it - into your vast heart. To walk with courage into the fire of the Unknown! - Jeff Foster See more

"Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all." Emily Dickinson
I highly recommend this article on happiness, life and meaning. "When the impossibility of replacing a person is realized, it allows the responsibility which a man (sic) has for his existence and its continuance to appear in all its magnitude...Meaning is not only about transcending the self, but also about transcending the present moment...While happiness is an emotion felt in the here and now, it ultimately fades away, just as all emotions do...Meaning, on the other hand, is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future." http://www.theatlantic.com//theres-more-to-life-th/266805/
This article reminds us of our interconnectedness with nature, and posits the value of bringing therapeutic work out of the office and into the natural world. I will be doing more of this in 2013. http://peninsulapress.com//new-therapy-improves-mental-/Th
