Belinda — Oops…let try this again.

First of all, I think Keith deserves credit for a very clever comment:~)

I love you weave so many different thoughts together and come with the most interesting word quilts. I’m always fascinated as I follow your weaving. I’m never sure exactly where it will end up, but it’s fun.

Regarding your questions about YES and NO. I say YES a lot more when I don’t spend time thinking and I say NO a lot more when I think too much.

Great post and fun:~)

Hi Belinda
Your posts always make me think .
Did I enjoy reading this post – yes
Did I read it all – yes
Did it motivate me to leave a comment – yes
Will I have to read it again to fully understand – yes

Guess I’ll stop there – and do some more thinking – not easy so late on a Sunday. LOL

Hi Belinda,

Great question. I’d like to say yes to following my heart’s leanings. Currently my heart is calling me to Esalen for an extended stay!

I like the idea of asking myself this question frequently and responding in the now!

Warm regards,
Lauren

I’m pretty good at saying yes … to others. I’m very very bad at saying yes to myself. At allowing myself something just for me. And reading your lovely words made me realize that I could stand to find some Yeses for myself. Something to strive for. Thank you.

The power of yes – one little word dissected and deconstructed into all its different meanings and consequences. Suddenly, the word isn’t so small after all. In fact, it is big enough to swallow us whole. Great insight.

Wonderful post.
And this: “To love and everything that goes with it”. That ‘everything’ is a lot! This reminds me that our Yeses often take us much farther than we ever imagined or intended.

I want to say Yes to adventure more. I am great at saying yes to the no-fun stuff.–taking on too much responsibility, helping out a friend, picking up another workload I can’t handle–but when it comes to saying yes to the exciting stuff, I get scared. Lazy. Wimpy.

I must say though, I have trouble with No when it matters. When I need to say no in order to help myself, not take on too much, then I seem to not be able to do it. I want to do everything for everybody–be a people pleaser — and its no good. Sometimes yes is not your friend, I guess….

To dancing at the edge of darkness? Hell yes!

I am so much happier when I remember to say Yes to what I have. Sometimes I get drawn into that desire for what I don’t have, but I usually find my way back. That’s the best kind of Yes.
