Are You Addicted to Love
Has love come to mean something about who you are – your value, worth, security, identity, capability or loveableness? Is your identity tied to whether you are loved and needed? Is your value measured by how much you are loved or by who loves you? Are ‘in love’ with the person you hope they will be, the person you thought they were, the person they once were, the person you would like to change them into or the person you need them to be? How do you know if you have healthy love in your relationship?

Passion
Passion is the very substance of our grandest visions. It is not easy to find a comfortable home in our daily, civilized, disciplined and organized world for passion’s vibrant and intense existence. Our culture can certainly be prudent to control and contain, with watchful and sensible eyes, the spontaneous, sometimes unrefined nature of potent energies such as passion. These are the qualities of our being reflecting the most profound and powerful aspects of inner nature and inherent responses.

When Your Child's Addiction Becomes Your Own
From the moment you give birth, an innate force within secures a powerful and concentrated intent at the deepest level to protect your precious child, protect them from harm. As a parent, you accept this role with reverence as it carries the highest priority.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Kristin Whitelaw
Our spirit is on a never ending quest seeking to fulfill itself. We are not our thoughts. We are not our past. We are not our pain, our loss, our regret or our actions. We are the whole and complete, divine and spiritual being having those experiences. The sorrow comes from thinking and believing that we are defined by our human experience. Life simply provides us with opportunities to discover and remember who we truly are. The human experience can show us who we are not as well as who we are on our path to self realization.
If we are not our thoughts, if we are not our pain, our doubts, our fear, our successes......who are we? Who is your original spirit who was fully, perfectly, clearly and beautifully defined before the human experience began? That original spirit is who we are, in truth, and it has an innate purpose as the fulfillment of its expression while on earth. This forges the path of healing, growth and awakening - the journey of remembering this truth.
