G Is for Get Over It
Though the term get over it has been used as early as 1839, it’s been a useful and oft-used buzzword since the early 90’s. As part of my spiritual practice, I will be using it more. I can be the politest and most compassionate person in the world, but at times when I am truly…

Two Reasons: #2. Eliminate to Release
I’m troubled about something but really have no one I can discuss it with. Or at least, no one I feel comfortable discussing it with. I tried in earnest but discovered I was talking to absolutely the wrong person. It made me realize that it was time to release some things I’d been holding onto…

Jump or Be Pushed
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. In another of my own personal version of “Groundhog Day: The Movie,” I woke yet again to Hinder’s “Lips of an Angel.” Different time, different station, same song…every day this week, including weekends. I hated the song the first zillion times I heard it,…

New Moon Assessment: What’s Working
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. Every now and then, it’s time for an assessment. Not of what’s wrong but of what’s working. I try to do these at the new moon, but no more than that. So what’s working for me that I plan to continue to allow to…

Letting Go and Letting Gods?
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. “Fire Burning in Water.” Still. The Law of Attraction novel of Lauren Hartford’s that tells a rather disturbing story and will probably alienate all of the fans of the Jesse Matthews’ character. Book #3 of The Priestess Diaries, and our hero isn’t exactly heroic…

Brick Walls
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. Today is proving to be a little difficult, and I hate that it is. It’s a meaningful date for me that brings back some sadness. I woke up with the sadness of it. Early. I tried to sleep in so I wouldn’t have…

Surrender
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. A particular project has been giving me fits for almost two months. I just haven’t been able to get into the right headspace to figure it out. Normally, I know it’s going to take a little bit of focused concentration and then I’ll…

The Best and Worst of 2006
At the end of the calendar year, everyone looks back in review at the best and the worst. For me, I think the best and the worst are usually connected in some way. A death and rebirth kind of thing. Saying goodbye to an old way of life opens to something new that can be…

Lives Hanging in the Balance
When I was a little girl, I loved playing on the see-saw. It required a partner of some reasonable level of equality—one who wouldn’t get me near the top and bail on me, one who was content to alternate flying through the air, one who delighted just as much as I did in getting to…

Burning Up Old Desires
It’s really not that everything in my life is drama, but in looking at old issues and pains, things I held in and never cleared out, more than I could ever have imagined comes up. Once it’s brought into the light, I can burn up and burn away those old hurts, except for what remains…

The Coming Blessing
I must give something up soon, and it’s going to be a very good thing that I do. My coach says I’m like the blindfolded woman with two swords. I’m holding onto so much right now that my hands are tied and something must be released. To mix metaphors, she adds that my plate has…

Letting It Happen
I have no fears that I will not be loved again. I have seen it. Better, I have felt his feelings for me—from the inside. We can hear men tell us how they feel about us and hope they’re not lying. But we can never really know for sure. Except…in one regard, in one instance,…
