I dunno.. how can you?&amp;nbsp; I try to not think about what has happened and trust that it won't happen again.&amp;nbsp; I try to trust that what is said is the truth and I know that it wouldn't happen again.&amp;nbsp; But words... *shakes head*&amp;nbsp; when the words coming out are different than the actions shown... what to do - what to do?&amp;nbsp; Some times I want to give in, run away and just live my life in a shadow.&amp;nbsp; I need so much more and I need it now.&amp;nbsp; I am tired.&amp;nbsp; I need someone to lean on, to share with... who will hold my hand and me and just tell me... it is what it is and I love you, only you and to love me the way I love them.&amp;nbsp; Deeply, completely, and only them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been devastated so much lately that it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.&amp;nbsp; I love you.&amp;nbsp; I want to be with you.&amp;nbsp; Not right now.&amp;nbsp; Contradictions... Breaks my heart.&amp;nbsp; I live in a black and white world.&amp;nbsp; I think maybe I don't deserve to be happy.&amp;nbsp; I expect too much and hell maybe I give too much.&amp;nbsp; I expect what I give and maybe that is my first mistake.&amp;nbsp; I love deeply and I love completely - there is no room for anyone else in that scenario, in my mind.&amp;nbsp; If there is room then obviously I shouldn't be there.&amp;nbsp; So I hurt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what it means to me.&amp;nbsp; I wonder, cause I am not a mind reader.. some people get so used to hiding and saying what people want to hear - or transferring emotions to other people that they never truly know what they are actually feeling.&amp;nbsp; Maybe I am a fool.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am broken.&amp;nbsp; And I don't have the strength.&amp;nbsp; If I get hurt again, I am afraid I will never be able to be myself again.&amp;nbsp; So how to mend this new divide... this huge divide... cause a woman knows..&amp;nbsp; seriously and I wish honesty would just be the word and action of the day, week, month, year.. Honesty.&amp;nbsp; Faithfulness.&amp;nbsp; Love... those ARE the ONLY things I ask.&amp;nbsp; Is that really too much??&amp;nbsp; For a life of beauty, friendship, love, trust?&amp;nbsp; Success?&amp;nbsp; I don't think so but then again..

God willing and there is any possibility at all that the job is there and I have a chance to land it - a foot in the door just to get there.&amp;nbsp; I will go.&amp;nbsp; I will beg, borrow, and steal to get there.&amp;nbsp; Okay maybe not steal but you get the point.&amp;nbsp; I am leaving.&amp;nbsp; No more of this.&amp;nbsp; I cannot do another day like this one.&amp;nbsp; New beginnings... Ugh - the last two days have been torture.&amp;nbsp; I cannot be here and survive.&amp;nbsp; No way.&amp;nbsp; I don't need the reminder of how little I matter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This experience is tattooed on my soul and God willing the right choices will be made.&amp;nbsp; It's out of my hands and in that of the higher ups.&amp;nbsp; They cannot expect me to tolerate any more of this.&amp;nbsp; I have zero fight left in me.&amp;nbsp; Why fight when you are the only one fighting for it?&amp;nbsp; Seems pointless and hell, you can say words all day long.&amp;nbsp; My friends, actions - those are the things that matter.&amp;nbsp; Don't let one day go by without SHOWING someone how you feel.&amp;nbsp;

Traditional Celtic ways -  this was their end of year.&amp;nbsp; The snow moon.&amp;nbsp; A time for new beginnings.&amp;nbsp;  A time to lay the past to rest and just look to the future.&amp;nbsp; That is  what I did today.&amp;nbsp; I spent the day letting go of any negative energies,  hurts, and just memories that I had been holding onto for the last  couple/ few months.&amp;nbsp; I will not go there again.&amp;nbsp; "Don't look back  because that is not where you are going."&amp;nbsp; I tuned up my candles, opened  the window - yes it was very cold, and I just did a whole lot of  nothing today.&amp;nbsp; Retrospective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are things that I  still need to work on.&amp;nbsp; I am only human and I will falter, of that I am  sure.&amp;nbsp; We all do.&amp;nbsp; None of us are perfect and we should have sympathy  and even empathy for those around us.&amp;nbsp; I try to live my life with the  old saying "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."&amp;nbsp; I truly  do.&amp;nbsp; I have an open mind and an open heart.&amp;nbsp; It gets beat down quite a  bit and I struggle sometimes to stay positive and on track.&amp;nbsp; I even lose  it once in a while.&amp;nbsp; Those are the times I go into myself for healing.&amp;nbsp;  I lock the world out and just zen.&amp;nbsp; It is what I have to do.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  wrote just a tad today.&amp;nbsp; I studied tarot a tad today.&amp;nbsp; I studied  herbals a tad today.&amp;nbsp; Made a few phone calls and sent a few emails...&amp;nbsp;  For the most part I sat and watched my candles and just released myself  from everything.&amp;nbsp; Am I refreshed?&amp;nbsp; Not quite sure yet.&amp;nbsp; :)&amp;nbsp; Guess I will  know when I wake up tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's hoping that all of you have a fabulous new beginning ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Count your blessings and ask for those you love to get what they need.&amp;nbsp;

The here and the now make me think that I will not have a tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; So yeah use Oprah's old saying and breathe... and know that this is the only moment you know you will have for sure.. that about gives me panic.&amp;nbsp; I am not done yet.. ya know??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT - and that is always the word.&amp;nbsp; Anything can happen and there may never be another tomorrow for any of us.&amp;nbsp; What IF you wake up tomorrow and reach for that someone and they are not there?&amp;nbsp; What IF you reach for me and I am not here?&amp;nbsp; Infinity - the number 8.&amp;nbsp; Beyond this aspect of our lives - there is so much more.&amp;nbsp; But in this life... we only have the here and now for sure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A tight hug and warm kiss.. a soft good night... I miss those things the most.. the togetherness... when all you have is books, writing, studying...&amp;nbsp; well - learning who you are and embracing all you can... still leaves you alone at the end of the day...

I am not chasing.&amp;nbsp; No.&amp;nbsp; I am hurt too deeply and I feel like it was a lie from day one.&amp;nbsp; Not lies but certainly not truth.&amp;nbsp; I forgive him - ya know?&amp;nbsp; It's all he has ever known but there does come a time in life where you either want better than what you have settled for - or you continue to settle.&amp;nbsp; I won't settle, I won't be a play thing, I won't be a dirty little secret and I definitely will never be anyone's second choice.&amp;nbsp; I am worth way more than any of that.&amp;nbsp; I have goals, dreams, desires, and I will have everything I choose because I know I can.&amp;nbsp; Just have to do it.&amp;nbsp; Take those steps and make it happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met with Judy, she is a beautiful soul.&amp;nbsp; A bit broken but aren't we all?&amp;nbsp; She is a lost soul and like so many of us.&amp;nbsp; She gave me this pocket knife... turns out it is of fae descent.&amp;nbsp; Wow huh.&amp;nbsp; What a connection.&amp;nbsp; I will carry it on me always because there is meaning there, I just have to wait and see what it all means. I was brought back to Indiana for a reason, to meet this people and make these choices... we never know what the design is... and hell, we never know what steps to take unless you act on them.&amp;nbsp; Act on instinct and don't ignore it - I have learned that here recently- it is never wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I will work towards Dec 01.&amp;nbsp; The week I head there to stay with my brother and look for a job.&amp;nbsp; It will all work out the way it should.&amp;nbsp; I have no doubts, only belief.&amp;nbsp; Whatever is meant to be will find its way.&amp;nbsp; Faith.&amp;nbsp; I have it.&amp;nbsp; Trust.&amp;nbsp; I have it.&amp;nbsp; Hope.&amp;nbsp; I have never lost it.&amp;nbsp; Wisdom... well a little more every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love and light beautiful ones...&lt;br /&gt;xoxo&lt;br /&gt;~ V ~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6685898797574933035-4646930241818426190?l=charisma-dawn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6685898797574933035/posts/default/4646930241818426190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6685898797574933035/posts/default/4646930241818426190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charisma-dawn.blogspot.com/2011/11/coming-full-circle.html' title='...coming full circle...'/><author><name>Charisma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01423297925498945526</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G3LVF4TSYIw/TYfiKJAS1uI/AAAAAAAAAB8/hxn5kghainY/s220/new%2Bprofile%2Bpic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685898797574933035.post-8044202029152225351</id><published>2011-11-03T00:45:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T00:45:57.701-04:00</updated><title type='text'>....a gypsy soul who feels too deeply....</title><content type='html'>Okay here we go with some riddles and mind benders for you.&amp;nbsp; You will read this and have no idea what the hell I am talking about... but that is okay.&amp;nbsp; It is my blog, journal, my way to vent to everyone and no one.&amp;nbsp; My way to "feel" my way through it, if you will...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to see my spiritual guru yesterday and I had the validation I needed for the things I have going on in my life.&amp;nbsp; The things I knew and the answers I needed.&amp;nbsp; Problem being is this...&amp;nbsp; with what I know and what I have had - well taking three steps back in a situation only tends to set me off.&amp;nbsp; My emotions get erratic, I feel hurt and lonely and I blow up.&amp;nbsp; I react in my hurt to hurt you back.&amp;nbsp; Maybe that is not the right way but it is only human...&amp;nbsp; The rule of thumb is this - you cannot push a situation or influence a choice else you take on the karma for the other people involved.&amp;nbsp; grrr... I know that only makes sense to about two of you out there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See I've made my choices.&amp;nbsp; I know who I love, who I will and would do anything for.&amp;nbsp; The one I want and hope to spend the rest of my tomorrow's with.&amp;nbsp; My choices have been made.&amp;nbsp; I will be leaving to a new home in a few weeks, a couple of months, hell, a few months...&amp;nbsp; whatever the time frame.&amp;nbsp; It will happen.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So I have to prepare myself for the choices the other people make in the situation.&amp;nbsp; Protect myself in case.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Just seems I am the only one in the situation actually hurting so I need to distance myself.&amp;nbsp; Does that make sense?&amp;nbsp; Self preservation cause God and Goddesses know I cannot do it like this.&amp;nbsp; I can't.&amp;nbsp; I could have if the dynamics had not changed over the last couple of months and I had not had so much time and closeness with him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It hurts too much to be this involved and fuck me... this is surreal.&amp;nbsp; But the choices of others are not the choices of mine.&amp;nbsp; I have done, said, and prayed all I can for the situation.&amp;nbsp; We have been given the opportunity to be beyond the chaos.&amp;nbsp; There are ways around everything&amp;nbsp; but you have to want that way - a way out.&amp;nbsp; You have to find it and you will if you are looking.&amp;nbsp; You can sit and wait on people or things.&amp;nbsp; Just not feasible in my mind.&amp;nbsp; Action gets things done, not waiting.&amp;nbsp; Maybe I ask too much or maybe not enough... anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I applied to a Metaphysical shop today.&amp;nbsp; Very cool.&amp;nbsp; It would keep me very busy and I would be on the right path, finally.&amp;nbsp; I believe I will get the job and I pray that I do.&amp;nbsp; I need it.&amp;nbsp; Being with like minded people, growing my gifts and sharing them as well.&amp;nbsp; I need it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So send some positive thoughts to the situation my way and I will keep you posted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Til tomorrow, or today ;)&lt;br /&gt;xoxo&lt;br /&gt;~ V ~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6685898797574933035-8044202029152225351?l=charisma-dawn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6685898797574933035/posts/default/8044202029152225351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6685898797574933035/posts/default/8044202029152225351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charisma-dawn.blogspot.com/2011/11/gypsy-soul-who-feels-too-deeply.html' title='....a gypsy soul who feels too deeply....'/><author><name>Charisma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01423297925498945526</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G3LVF4TSYIw/TYfiKJAS1uI/AAAAAAAAAB8/hxn5kghainY/s220/new%2Bprofile%2Bpic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685898797574933035.post-1368462974696923284</id><published>2011-11-01T17:17:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-11-01T17:17:13.938-04:00</updated><title type='text'>..the voice within...</title><content type='html'>Thank you babyk.&amp;nbsp;

I tend to ignore the cold, hard truths... but no matter what if you ask for answers from the divine, you will get them whether you like it or not.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth is: I would much rather anyone hurt me with the truth then try to keep me with a lie.&amp;nbsp; Let's me know that I don't mean all that much.&amp;nbsp; If you love someone, want to keep someone, or to end something - the truth is always the way to live.&amp;nbsp; If you are lying to everyone then obviously you are lying to yourself.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Accept who you are and what you are... try looking in the mirror and speaking the truth...&amp;nbsp; Why continue to play games and hurt people?&amp;nbsp; The only one who is going to hurt in the end?&amp;nbsp;

When I step out - well it bothers me.&amp;nbsp; I wish I were one of those people who can live just for the moment.&amp;nbsp; Hell, I can't.&amp;nbsp; I worry about what reactions to my actions will be.&amp;nbsp;

(happy birthday dad).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last few months have been a testament to my strength and my love.&amp;nbsp; There are different types of love.&amp;nbsp; I am in love with someone.&amp;nbsp; Question is this, he says he loves me - but what type of love?&amp;nbsp; The kind of love that you would chase to the ends of the earth?&amp;nbsp; Give up your life as you know it?&amp;nbsp; Face the fall-out of what is to come?&amp;nbsp; See that is the love I have but obviously, it is not the same, or that easy for other people.&amp;nbsp; The difference being... I have and would give it all up for us... but... I live in a black and white world - to me there isn't any room for gray.&amp;nbsp; The gray is where trouble starts and where I refuse to live.&amp;nbsp; So - what kind of love does he have for me?&amp;nbsp; Maybe I am afraid to demand an action - but I have to.&amp;nbsp; For the well-being of myself and all else involved.&amp;nbsp; I need to know.&amp;nbsp; Ya know... actions speak so much louder than words and the actions I have been receiving are ones that a friend would do... not a lover or a forever kind of partner...&amp;nbsp; soul-searching sucks and he is a weakness... one I probably will just run from... the gypsy soul wants all or nothing... so... one month is what I am giving myself to get out of this area and start over...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have terrific friends, family, even a few guides, and one terrific knight... too bad I couldn't just let you all decide for me.&amp;nbsp; I have listened to all of you but of course I must follow my heart... no matter what because that is who and what I am.&amp;nbsp; I prayed for him - ya know?&amp;nbsp; I prayed for someone who could match me on every level and they brought him to me... kind of a sick joke as I said before... cause seriously, if you only knew the details, some of you do, but the sick joke is how the hell do I get there from here with my heart, soul, mind, and body still intact?&amp;nbsp; I don't see an answer forthcoming tonight and my instincts to run are kicking in on a high octane level.&amp;nbsp; Run, live alone and do my thing.&amp;nbsp; Write, heal, study, and just be...&amp;nbsp; Maybe the test is this... how to let it go and move on... maybe it is his lesson and not mine?&amp;nbsp; I dunno... the thing about lessons... you never have the answers until the test is over...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You all love my riddles don't ya?&amp;nbsp; Should try living inside this mind for a day?!&amp;nbsp; Make ya bonkers..

There is the million dollar question.... now - to find the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meditation.&amp;nbsp; Gotta get back to that basic as well.&amp;nbsp; Let go and just do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love and light all.&lt;br /&gt;V ~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6685898797574933035-8406950807914739822?l=charisma-dawn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6685898797574933035/posts/default/8406950807914739822'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6685898797574933035/posts/default/8406950807914739822'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charisma-dawn.blogspot.com/2011/10/seriously.html' title='Seriously...'/><author><name>Charisma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01423297925498945526</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G3LVF4TSYIw/TYfiKJAS1uI/AAAAAAAAAB8/hxn5kghainY/s220/new%2Bprofile%2Bpic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685898797574933035.post-8465759214376876916</id><published>2011-10-16T20:14:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-16T20:14:14.275-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Today is the first day of the rest of your life....</title><content type='html'>I choose to be happy.&amp;nbsp; Fact is if you are unhappy then there must be things in your life that you need to change.&amp;nbsp; If you seem to be having a terrible time then there is something in your life that is not right, not where it should be.&amp;nbsp; Like swimming upstream, so to speak.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been having a difficult time.&amp;nbsp; Changing careers to doing live infomercials.&amp;nbsp; To say the least, it is exhausting.&amp;nbsp; Travel seems to stress me.&amp;nbsp; lol - just because I am so far out of my comfort zone, at least I believe.&amp;nbsp; I left my writing and chaos seemed to quickly follow.&amp;nbsp; So what does that tell me?&amp;nbsp; Yep, put the fingers to the keyboard or pen to paper and make it happen.&amp;nbsp; My letter to the universe was that I would be a published author many times over.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; well hell, that isn't going to happen by itself.&amp;nbsp; I have to write.&amp;nbsp; It is who I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going back to my writing.&amp;nbsp; My life was more balanced and made more sense when I lived in my books.&amp;nbsp; It's a lot easier to deal with the fantasy world than that of our real ones, is it not?&amp;nbsp; Besides, it keeps me busy and less likely to find any trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently working on a book - Untitled and Uncertain.... hmmmm.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Just a working title but I seem to like it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually I have a couple or a few :) started.... now - all I have to do is get back in touch with my characters and find the end that needs to be written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Tatt Guy.&lt;br /&gt;My Vision.&lt;br /&gt;The Vision of Us.&lt;br /&gt;What was and will be.&amp;nbsp; (blah not so hot a title there)&lt;br /&gt;DarkHorse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said.&amp;nbsp; A work in progress... ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love &amp;amp; light beautiful people!&amp;nbsp; xoxo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;V ~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6685898797574933035-8465759214376876916?l=charisma-dawn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6685898797574933035/posts/default/8465759214376876916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6685898797574933035/posts/default/8465759214376876916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charisma-dawn.blogspot.com/2011/10/today-is-first-day-of-rest-of-your-life.html' title='Today is the first day of the rest of your life....'/><author><name>Charisma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01423297925498945526</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G3LVF4TSYIw/TYfiKJAS1uI/AAAAAAAAAB8/hxn5kghainY/s220/new%2Bprofile%2Bpic.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
