Loving Yourself | You Care and They Will Care

By ⋅ February 6, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

From the archives August 9, 2005 The difficulty in finding love that is good for you stems from the same difficulty you have loving yourself. For those who believe in God or a higher power, to not love yourself is to not love the very source of your existence. To not trust yourself is to [...]

Chasing the Rainbow | Live the Adventure

By ⋅ February 2, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

From the archives October 12, 2004 it doesn’t matter what your challenge is in life, the same principles apply. As children, hearing the fable of the pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow, we were relentless in pursuing the rainbow. We were always sure that sooner or later we would find that pot-o-gold. Whenever we [...]

Choosing Life is Creating Life | Empowered Choices

By ⋅ January 28, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

From the archives October 20, 2006  I’ve been much busier lately. I’ve been getting out more, experiencing more, working more, and enjoying the ride. As a coach, I’m challenged to create my life daily rather than just go about life’s repetitions every day. Going about life’s repetitions for over a decade led to me waking [...]

Don’t Be Silly | Be Silly | And Sexy

By ⋅ January 12, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Great and tiring and crazy and tumultuous week that was one hell of a roller-coaster ride. In spite of the rough spots, it was a damn fine week. Trying to “fill a role” is tiring, and hard work. It’s much more fun just to let go and be yourself. I don’t know about you; me? [...]

Random Conversations Today | Empowerment

By ⋅ January 8, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Lee says, “Our mind is the biggest obstacle to living our life to the fullest.” Life is just one crazy adventure. Control what fires up inside, respond positively, remain always “at choice” and you are truly free. You are not bound to anyone. Pick and choose, have fun, no apologies. Human being Human. Love. When [...]

Open up to Life  my heart, fear not your feelings of hurt and pain, they burnish the gild inside a false shell hiding the meat, your life! To be surrendered. “You belong to me ,” she said. Copyright ©  2007 Lee Down, all rights reserved

Christmas is Coming!

By ⋅ December 1, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Digg It! | Yahoo MyWeb | Furl It! | del.icio.us This has been an incredibly busy and fast-changing fall season; at least, for me it has. It’s strange actually, as I suddenly contemplate what next to say, that as I observe the difference of this fall season against the summer, that the fall season seems [...]

The Dance of Life | Living Joyously, Creatively, Abundantly

By ⋅ November 15, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Waking up as a little boy the excitement for the day’s adventure pumped through my veins and lit up my eyes. I’d look out the window at the bright sunshine, the hay fields, and the expansive blue skies and magical clouds. Once out in the freedom of the day, with no responsibilities, I’d hop, skip, [...]

Life After Death

By ⋅ October 27, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Death is not a topic many people could say they enjoy. Strangely, today and recently I’ve had numerous conversations with others about life, death, and god. There is a peace that comes with exploring the balance, meaning, and experience of these three topics. A portion of expanding thoughts includes influences from science as well. Today, [...]

She is Wonderful Beyond Expression

By ⋅ October 10, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Sometimes we meet people who have a profound impact upon our heart. Two women friends came by for a visit and to take some flour off my hands; good intentions that long ago went awry. They stayed to chat for a couple of hours and somehow the conversation went into intimate and authentic territory without [...]
