Realness and Intention... We Know it When we See It....

Horses Know Sugar When They See It

Horses Know Sugar When They See It - and you know what ...So do we.  We all instantly can recognize realness.  If we listen to our natural gift of intuition, it will tell us what is real and what is not.  This comes from our gut and either settles in our heart or keeps bouncing off from it - making a racket until we finally Hear.

Sometimes the message that something isn't good is stronger than a racket in your heart.  When it's potentially dangerous to continue an interaction, often even the tiny hairs on the back of our neck will rise in voluntarily.  Much like prey reacts to the predator - this is a visceral, intuitive-reaction.

I'll Never Steer You Wrong

Don't second guess yourself.  If it feels good - it's harmless.  If it feels confusing, strange, bad, or worse, like you are the only one who understands this person and you can bring out the goodness in him/her - it is likely a negative person and or situation.  So like my dad used to say, "Don't walk away.  Run!!"  He also used to say, "I'll never steer you wrong, Sue."

Friends Trust Contentment

I guess it's that I learned so much about trust and love from my father.  It was all of what I did not learn from the NM.  I latched onto those positive moments with him so tightly that his kindness was my only saving grace for any kind of real future.  Besides Allah, it is he I have to thank for attracting such a wonderful husband and raising three really precious children.

It is he who planted the seed of self worth and self love in my heart so long ago - and who tended to it once again for good measure on his deathbed.

Dad was a huge proponent of realness and intention.  I'm sure now it was because he was constantly dealing with narcissism and psychopathy.  He wanted me to know how to decipher through bullshit and see what was real in life.

He would have agreed that Horses Really do Know Sugar when they See It and So do We....

I miss you Daddy.
