Welcome! Join me on my journey to self-knowledge...
The lens chronicles the sometimes bumpy, sometimes glorious journey of one little goddess searching for a better understanding of herself and her place with God. With a strong focus on positive manifestation and the law of attraction merged with Judeo-Christian belief and influences from other world religions, the journey is sure to be an interesting one.
After starting this lens, I realized that I have a lot to say and that it may become a bit overwhelming in size. So I've decided to use this lens as a home base for all my articles. I'll put an introduction here and if you want to read, click to open the article lens in a new window.
If this lens makes you think about your own journey or if you just enjoyed it, please give it a 4 or 5 rating above. Don't forget to add me to your favorites by clicking on the "Favorite It!" link on the right! Thanks so much!
The following lenses in the "Goddess Exposed" series are now available for your reading pleasure and your own introspective venturing:
Somewhere Near the Beginning
When We Want and Want, but Just Don't Receive

Forgiveness
Somewhere Near the Beginning
About a year ago, I realized that I had lost myself somewhere along the course of my life. This was a very disturbing realization, as I had always looked at myself as a rather "together" sort of person. But I woke up one morning and realized that my trouble marriage wasn't really getting any better in spite of therapy, I was in more than one codependent relationship, I had no spiritual focus, friends who I thought were my best friends really weren't my friends at all, and I didn't even know what I wanted from life any more. Not a good place.
This realization made me see that I had been focusing on fixing the wrong things. I was trying to fix my relationship with my husband; I was trying to fix the problems in my friendships; I was trying to fix my life. But I wasn't trying to fix myself. It was time for me to take the focus off the things that had gone bad in my life and start working on the things that had gone bad in me.

When We Want and Want, But Just Don't Receive
"Want is a growing giant whom the coat of have was never large enough to cover..."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Recently, I have been thinking and talking a lot about gratitude.
It seems that so many of us want more than what we have. It's not that we aren't happy with what we already have in our lives, we just want more. We want a better relationship, we want more money, we want a bigger house, we want, we want, we want.
But what about being thankful for what we already have?

Seeking Fulfillment
"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled." ~Lao Tzu
There are four aspects of a fulfilling relationship - intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual. It is said that, in order to have a truly fulfilling relationship, your partner needs to be able to meet your needs in these four areas. That's always made a lot of sense to me. I think we have all been in relationships before where our partners did a great job in one, two, or even three of these areas, but we still didn't really feel satisfied.
I've been thinking a lot about relationships lately; not only relationships with other people, but my own relationship with myself. It's my belief that you can't love anyone else more than you love yourself. Therefore, it would be fair to say that you also cannot accept another person if you aren't accepting of yourself.

Very true to life Mari. Thank you for this story as it relates to me. I have found that through the years in a failing relationship, I too began to attract only those things that would come from the physical. It wasn't until I realized my lowered self esteem was causing this that I decided to make some changes. I am worthy and deserving and things are different. keep up the good work.

Forgiveness
"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you." ~Unknown
Forgiveness is something I have to work on every day. It's very hard to forgive. It's almost as if I think that if I truly forgive, I am somehow saying whatever injustice I have been dealt was okay.
But forgiveness is not the same as acceptance. And forgiveness has a lot less to do with the person you are forgiving than it does to you. As a matter of fact, forgiveness is one of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves. When we forgive, we free ourselves from our own emotional prisons. It allows us to move on in our lives and no longer be victims. Forgiveness gives us back our power.
