Message of Love: As you come into alignment with who you are, you draw to yourself relationships of respect and love for that which you Are.

This past weekend I went with some friends to a “Grease” sing-along. You remember the John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John movie from 1978? Yes, that’s the one…
When I was a pre-teen I completely identified with Sandy, the female lead. I hadn’t seen the movie in so many years that when I watched it again, I enjoyed myself, laughing and singing out loud, but something felt off about it. Expecting to understand my emotions later, I forgot about it until I woke up this morning and I realized that the character of Sandy represents immaturity and lack of self confidence in many ways. While this can be entertaining, it can also give young girls such as myself a distorted impression of love.
The story is about two mis-matched teenagers falling in love, Danny and Sandy. She is proper and comes from Australia while he is a member of the local gang. They have a summer romance when he is not around his buddies and is able to show her his softer side. But when they meet in high school, he is back to his rude behavior and Sandy feels insulted but continues to feel in love at the same time.
By the end of the movie, Danny earns a letter for track while Sandy completely re-invents herself into a sex queen with black tights, makeup and high heels.
Somewhere along the way I came to believe that I could change and mold to whoever came along in my life, and as a result I allowed myself to become a work horse. I didn’t expect support or even assistance with taking out the garbage, so I got none. And now that I have been separated for a few short months, I understand that I want differently. When I asked for a divorce I had no idea how many things in my life I needed to change to come into alignment with who I Am. But the important thing is that I recognize this now and I am willing to do whatever it takes to evolve… one day at a time…
In Peace and Love, Beth

“When you talk about what you want and why you want it, there’s usually less resistance within you than when you talk about what you want and how you’re going to get it. When you pose questions you don’t have answers for, like how, where, when, who, it sets up a contradictory vibration that slows everything down.”
