What keeps you peaceful?

Posted on Nov 9th, 2008 by Carla : peace artist Carla
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 09, 2008:

Bitching.
Seriously!
When my buttons are pushed, and I am pissed, sad, chaotic, unproductive, ill at ease, or at war with myself and the world, I let it out. If I need a bitch buddy, I find one.

My overall feeling of peacefullness and my confidence that I can walk gracefully in all situations, however stressful or dire, have increased mightily since I learned to express
my Diva Bitch Goddess self.

and you or anybody is allowed peacefully.
your inclucing the words, 'Diva Bitch Goddess' is IMHO giving positive and empowering energy back to those individual words and the negatives are losing its stigma. 
vent out the negatives peacefully, it will do any good. 
reclaiming the power
with you Carla,

Having been know as the Bitch Queen I understand where you are coming from Carla… there are some moments that just need to be vented…
taking time to beathe, breathe helps… but some times a good yell is much more effective… then we can breathe… aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Me too, Carla. I much prefer to let it out than to let it build up over time… I feel much better that way.

Oh do I have a bevy of new bitch/vent/rant buddies!
I forgot to mention that intentional, conscious bitching, especially with a partner or circle, is usually a time of merriment, humor, laughter, and very high energy!

It is empowerment activated.
There is an art to it, but it is an easy art to master.

Bravo, Carla!

I'm not one to bitch too often, but I am fairly widely known as a world-class stubborn prick, which might very well be the male version.  I am also someone who regularly howls in the wilderness in an almost Biblical sense.

I am often told at 12-Step meetings that “acceptance is the answer to all my problems.”  After more than twenty years sober, I still say, “Fuck that!  Some things were never meant to be accepted.”  Period.

A refusal to accept some situations is why ALL of US are dedicated to changing the world and also the first difference between victims and survivors. 

Keep up the good work!  Good on ya!

I have been known by some as a true bitch, that is when I am not being respected, I need to let my steam out. Most people do not like what I say, and try to shut me up.
Well , I am not going to shut up any more.
I am going to stand tall , and speak for my right to be me , and be who I am.
I have done nothing wrong , and I have never broken the law.
So know one can take my kids away, as I am a good MOM!
If they try to take my children away, they will not here the end of it!
As the world will shake!

So , I just stay away , and keep my distance, yet certain people want me to continue to live in this , crap!

I can not run away, I have to stand my ground , and figure this one out on my own.

They just do not get it, how could they , they have not lived in my shoes.

I told many people about what was happening , and nothing happened .

So then they attack.

I just let go of them all , and know that someone some where , is going to here my sweet Echos, and flauk here.

They have there choices, and if they want to listen to the wrong people , and judge , and assume.

Well they have know idea , and know one even knows the tip of the ice burg no one .

It will all come , and the truth will be told!

I with you a BITCH DIVA:))

Love,

Lori

I think it's a fundamental truth of emotional health.  Feel it truly, and let it go.  So it remains–how to feel truly, how to truly let go.  That is a path of learning that opens to me, and I'm grateful.

It seems that writing this today has done some magic. I am getting ready to leave for 10 days, going to spend time in ceremony in Tucson. Nothing gets those buttons pushed like ceremony, and I have been kinda bitchy for a week or more.

Now, I feel serene. Lots to do, but I am present to the awesome transformation time ahead, transformation and celebration. Six years of preparation, growth, challenge will be sealed into my being in five days of ceremony and play with the divas.

I am glad most of my bitching is out of the way.

Lots to do now.

Blessings and Love!
