Loving Yourself into Wholeness

“I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.”

Amy Ruth Tan (American Author; February 19th, 1952 ~ )

“Life batters us whether we are rich or poor, public or private. The wound we suffer may be an open cut or a slow, silent hemorrhage of the soul. On the outside we may look as if we’ve got our act together, but each of us encounters those dark stormy days when we feel very small, very fragile, and very frightened, as if we might shatter into a thousand pieces and break into heartrending sobs at something as simple as ‘How are you?'”

“When this happens we have to be kind to ourselves, not beat ourselves up. Leave that to the rest of the world. Our feelings are valid, our fears very real, even though they are probably not based on reality. Always remember that the best description of fear is ‘false evidence appearing real.'”

“When these occasions occur in your life, recall that your first duty is to love yourself into Wholeness. How to do this? By pampering yourself with simple pleasures and small indulgences. By treating yourself like the baby you are right now.”

“You don’t have to do everything and be everything for everyone else all the time. If you think you can’t possibly do one more thing without screaming or crying, you.re probably right. Start by saying, ‘no, I’m sorry. I’ve got a prior commitment.'”

“For, of course, you do. Today you need to be there for yourself. Remember, we did not lose ourselves all at once. But we recover our authentic selves one kind gesture at a time.

“Before my story began…” (Heather Houston 3-14-22)

“I’ve been blue lately. Missing my kids. Trying to understand why getting a job has been such a nightmare. I just need a break. I need to be kind to myself.” (Heather Houston 3-14-22)

“‘No, I’m sorry, I’ve got a prior commitment’ Is harder to say sometimes. However, learning to put yourself first is how we heal ourselves. This is one of the hardest lessons I have embarked on learning and yet I know it true to my own happiness.” (Heather Houston 3-14-26)

Accepting Yourself as You Are Today

“Seek not outside yourself, heaven is within.”

Mary Lou Cook (Actress; December 12th, 1908 ~ August 17th, 2008)

“Today, we make peace with the past: with the bodies and faces we were born with and those that have evolved.”

“Here in this body are the sacred rivers: here are the sun and moon as well as all the pilgrimage places…I have not encountered another temple as blissful as my own body.”

Saraha, Sarahapa, Sarahapāda (known as: The First Sahajiya and one of the Mahasiddhas) (Tibetan Poet and Teacher; late 8th century)

“It will take a bit of doing, learning to love all our personal pilgrimage places. However, before genuine love can flourish, we must finally accept ourselves exactly as we are today. Not tomorrow or next week…”

“Remember, acceptance is acknowledging the reality of a situation…Most of us think of other women as beauties, never ourselves. But every woman was created by Spirit to be a genuine beauty. We learn how to reveal to the world our unique radiance only after we acknowledge it ourselves. Today, take your personal mantra: ‘I am what I am and what I am is wonderful.'”

“Before my story began…” (Heather Houston 3-13-22)

1972 Me…at my Aunt Carrie’s Baby Shower

“It is so funny, yesterday I wrote that I should add a self-love mantra to my meditations and my request was answered with today’s reading. BRILLIANT!” (Heather Houston 3-13-26)

“I stop and pause in the mirror after every shower to marvel at the gift my body is for me…my temple. I am blessed to be almost 58 years old and have more energy and vitality than 20-30s somethings at work. I look much younger than my age. I work alongside a co-worker who is also a 1968 baby and 10-days younger than me. I look like her daughter. My physical fitness and career have kept me vital and energetic. Most of all I have found epic love has shed years from my temple. My husband IS the Fountain of Youth. I have proof as my bio-impedance scale says I am getting younger each year that passes. I love myself and my temple for the first time in my life.”

“God is in the details.”

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe (German-American Architect; March 27th, 1886 ~ August 18th, 1969)

“You move into a completely empty house and start from scratch–money is not a consideration.

    7. Fireplace in every room (saw in an old movie; grade school age; I wanted this after I saw it; not from my childhood home).

    19. 2 Walk in closets with dressing areas (I saw on a home improvement show; adult; I wanted this after I saw it; not from my childhood home).
    20. Craft/Sewing room (I saw on a home improvement show; adult; I wanted this after I saw it; not from my childhood home).
    21. Window seats in dining room or family room (Grandmother’s House; 3-4 years old; I have always wanted this; not from my childhood home).” (Heater Houston 2-23-22)

“Next, imagine that your closet and drawers are empty. You need to fill them. What are the first ten things you would either hang up or put away? You may either keep favorites from your present wardrobe or buy entirely new items. Which comes first for you, comofrt or career?”

  • “10 Wardrobe Item Must Haves (Comfort is primary over career)
    1. 20 pair of soft cotton thongs
    2. 20 pairs soft cotton ankle socks
    3. Flannel pajama pants with soft long sleeve t-shirt
    4. Soft night sleep shirts
    5. Sweat pants and sweat shirts
    6. Jeans
    7. T-shirts
    8. Sneakers
    9. Sweaters
    10. Sexy Tops” (Heather Houston 2-23-22)

“Your kitchen cabinets are bare. You need to buy new china, flatware, glasses, and linens for everyday use and for entertaining. Where do you begin? What pattern do you want to see every day? What shape glass do you enjoy drinking from?”

  • “I would have a formal china pattern with a modern design and simple elegant flatware and a daily set that is less formal. However, I would use both interchangeably without concern for special occasions.
  • The formal china would be hydrangea floral pattern or a modern graphic design.
  • I prefer round edge glassware. Something with a heavier base feel. Stemware and martini glassware needs to be durable and yet as thin as possible.” (Heather Houston 2-23-26)

“The soap in the bathroom, the flowers in the garden, the book on the bedside table are all strong symbols of life in progress. …You look at theses details and a world unfolds.”

Charlotte Moss (American Interior Designer and Author; Unknown ~)

“By paying attention to the details–your authentic gestures–you give expression to the most personal of all the arts: making your own imprint on life.”

1972 Me…at my Aunt Carrie’s Baby Shower

“It is super fun to play a mental game of “what if”. I have eclectic taste which is combined with my love of texture and comfort. All pieces and rooms in my dream house would be useable versus art pieces. I love a house filled with love and lived in. A home needs to have character.” (Heather Houston 2-23-26)

“I reread my 2022 entries above for if I was to fill a new home with those items important to me, what I would fill my wardrobe with and the glassware and eating ware that I prefer. Fascinating that I put so much energy into this back then. Likely, because I had never even considered any of it as finances have always been strained, so survival was my only concern. Now I realize I am much more practical with what I want vs. need. I feel great in my on skin, so I am not on a quest to find things to flourish myself as I am enough without special clothes or furnishings. Truly blessed to be at this point in my life living abundantly vs. scarcity.” (Heather Houston 2-23-26)

Excavating the Real You, Part I

“Maybe being oneself is always an acquired taste.”

Patricia Hampl (American Memoirist, Writer, Lecturer, and Educator; March 12th, 1946 ~ )

“We must dig patiently with our pens to excavate our real selves….And fo what are we searching? Shards of our authentic self.”

“As long as one keeps searching, the answers come.”

Joan Baez (American Singer, Songwriter, Musician, and Activist; January 9th, 1941 ~ )

“The more we learn about ourselves and our preferences, the easier it is to make these choices. And creative choice is at the heart of authenticity.”

“Choice confers freedom–the freedom to embrace the new because it speaks to your soul and you are listening. Today be willing to consider the choices you have made in the past as you trace your life. Have they been the right ones for you? Do you make choices with your heart, mind, or gut? Are you comfortable with your style of making choices, or do you wish to try a different approach? Was there something you did not choose in the past that, with hindsight, you now wished you had?”

“Perhaps a long-buried dream still calls to you from a road you chose not to take. If this is true, then stop telling yourself that it’s too late.”

“Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations.”

Faith Baldwin (American Author; October 1st, 1893 ~ March 18th, 1978)

“The delay of our dreams does not mean that they have been denied. Perhaps now you have the wisdom to make alterations in your dream so that it can come true. Perhaps now you have the wisdom to choose differently.”

My Bucket List

WISDOM
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

“Before my story began…” (Heather Houston 2-21-22)

1972 Me…at my Aunt Carrie’s Baby Shower

“Certainly not all of my choices have been right. But, what is right? I am here now in a life that I am happy, joyful, and living authentically. Maybe all the choices needed to happen to get me here. If so, I would change nothing and do it all over again. I have always made choices using all three: mind, gut, heart. I am very intuitive and rely on this to guide me. I like the style I make choices, but sometimes wish I had even more of a carefree attitude. I think being neglected as a child and put in situations where my basic needs were not being met, led me to look for certainty in my life. I realize certainty is an unreality, but it was the only touchstone I had in my tool kit. I think there are always shoulda…coulda…wouldas for everyone in there past. Sometimes I think the access to a path is not available due to us not being ready yet.” (Heather Houston 2-21-22)

“I definitely make choices based on my heart, mind and gut. As an empath, I can’t avoid what I feel, sense and see. I don’t want my energies to be wound up in lamenting the past as my present is so fulfilling. My path was what is was to get me her and I am so thankful. I am the happiest I have ever been and am living in a loving relationship with my beloved husband and best friend.” (Heather Houston 2-21-26)

Once Upon A Time You Trusted Yourself

“Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German Poet, Playwright, Novelist, Scientist, Statesman, Theatre Director, and Critic; August 28th, 1749 ~ March 22nd, 1832)

“Today, try to find a photograph of yourself when you were about ten…Send love to that young girl. Try to travel back in time and imagination. See yourself at ten: at home, at school, and at play.”

“…age ten was probably the last time you trusted your instincts. You didn’t listen to the opinions of your mother, your sister, or your friends because you had your own.”

“Try to contact the girl you once were. She’s all grown up now. She’s your authentic delf and she’s waiting to remind you how beautiful, accomplished, and extraordinary you really are.”

“The task today was to find a picture of myself when I was ten. The idea is that at ten we still trusted our instincts and didn’t let the opinions of others rule us. Regrettably, my story began at three or four-years old, so I had many stories by the time I hit ten. I included a picture when I was 4, which is likely the time when I last trusted myself. The other picture are closer to ten, but I was already manipulating myself by what I imagined others thought of me.“ (Heather Houston 2-12-22)

Accepting Real Life

“Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change.”

Kathleen Mansfield Murry (known as: Katherine Mansfield) (New Zealand Writer; October 14th, 1888 ~ January 9th, 1923)

“Acceptance is surrendering to what is: our circumstances, our feelings, our problems, our financial status, our work, our health, our relationships with other people, the delay of our dreams. Before we can change anything in our life we have to recognize that this is the way it’s meant to be right now.”

“…I have also learned that when I surrender to the reality of a particular situation—when I don’t continue to resist, but accept—a softening in my soul occurs. Suddenly, I am able to open up to receive all the goodness and abundance available to me because acceptance brings with it so much relief and release. It’s as if the stream of struggle has been allowed to escape from life’s pressure cooker.”

“What happens when we accept our circumstances? Well, first of all, we relax. Next we change our vibration, our energy pattern, and the rate of our heartbeat.”

“Acceptance also illuminates reality so that we’re better able to see the next steps.”

“Our task is to say a holy yes to the real things our life as they exist.”

Natalie Goldberg (American Author and Speaker; January 4th, 1948 ~ )

“To accept my present circumstances is to be at peace with what is so. It allows me not to fester on the daily grind, but to then take new actions. These actions will lead to unexpected outcomes and add to my abundance. My partner always reminds me…’If you worry, you will eventually die. If you don’t worry, you will eventually die. So why worry?'” (Heather Houston 1-23-22 & 1-22-26)

#4 (Sittin’ On) the Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ come
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch ’em roll away again, yeah🪄
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time🪄
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the ‘Frisco bay
‘Cause I’ve had nothing to live for
And look like nothing’s gonna come my way🪄
So I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time🪄
Look like nothing’s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I’ll remain the same, yes🪄
Sittin’ here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
It’s two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home🪄
Now, I’m just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh-wee, sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time

#3 Honey (Bobby Goldsboro) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
See the tree, how big it’s grown
But friend it hasn’t been too long
It wasn’t big
I laughed at her and she got mad,
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig
Then the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away
So it wouldn’t die
Came runnin’ in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried🪄
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin’ late
‘Cause I would know
That she’d been sittin’ there and cryin’
Over some sad and silly late, late show🪄
And honey, I miss you and I’m bein’ good
And I’d love to be with you if only I could🪄
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I’d be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin’ needlessly
In the middle of a day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away🪄
And honey, I miss you and I’m bein’ good
And I’d love to be with you if only I could🪄
One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life’s an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That honey loved🪄
And see the tree how big it’s grown
But friend it hasn’t been too long
It wasn’t big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig

#1 Hey Jude (The Beatles) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Hey Jude, don’t make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.🪄
Hey Jude, don’t be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.🪄
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.🪄
Hey Jude, don’t let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.🪄
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You’re waiting for someone to perform with.
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey Jude, you’ll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.🪄
Hey Jude, don’t make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you’ll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.🪄
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude…
(repeat X number of times, fade)

Loving The Questions

“You only live once—but if you work it right, once is enough.”

Joe E. Lewis (American Comedian, Actor and Singer; January 12th 1902 ~ June 4th, 1971)

“How often in the past have you turned away from all that is unresolved in your heart because you feared questioning?”

“The last three years have been transformative. The turning away was mostly during my abusive marriage. It was hard to confront my circumstances due to the guilt and shame I silently carried for more than 3 decades. Breaks my heart to say that a huge chunk of my life was in the denial space. However, the freedom and power I have now in my life has opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Dreaming feels possible again.” (Heather Houston 1-2-22)

“2026 marks the time I will not just be selectively authentic as I realize sometimes I even censor myself. I only have this one beautiful life to live into and I commit to LIVING it to it completely with all its blessing and shadows.” (Heather Houston 1-2-26)

“But what if you knew that a year from today you could be living the most creative, joyous, and fulfilling life you could imagine? What would it be? What changes would you make? How and where would you begin? Do you see why the questions are so important?”

“I absolutely see that future. I imagine living in a seasonally warm location. Access to a boat for travel and pleasure. I would be there with the love of my life hosting a podcast and touring for speaking engagements. We would own a tequila/mezcal/whiskey bar that served our favorite cocktails and food. Nightly, there would be various live music and dancing on a sand dance floor. We also travel the world to distilleries and sample tequila/mezcal/whiskey. “The major changes would be to reduce the amount of “stuff” I have; to live more simply. I would put money away in savings and investments to create a funding possibility. I would solicit vendors to sponsor our podcast. I choose to begin now as my life in NOW. I have 100% of my life left and no time to waste. I can begin by researching locations and countries I would like to live in long-term. Researching the commercial real estate of locations that interest me will afford me a strategy and approach to make my possibility become reality. All questions around possibility are valuable to create access to action. New actions lead to unexpected outcomes.” (Heather Houston 1-2-22)

“I really feel I am living into my full authentic self. I am leaning in hard! I live every day as the best date and party ever. Evert day I have glorious sex, have a scrumptious cocktail, eat delicious food, and spend time with the love of my life. I am certain there is nothing finer than this as lived. I am blessed.” (Heather Houston 1-2-26)

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek the answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them and the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. …”

René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke (known as: Rainier Maria Rilke) (Austrian Poet and Novelist; December 4th 1875 ~ December 29th, 1926)
