I’m done worrying about the taboo’s and the shame on you’s…this is my only time in this life to be exactly who I know I am meant to be.  My ultimate goal:  to remove all fear from my inner existence, to love and accept unconditionally and to have fun!</description><title>No More Hiding</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @rationalemotion)</generator><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Mom</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In a recent meditation I told myself adamantly that I need for she and I to sit with a therapist/objective/non-emotionally attached 3rd party. I&amp;#8217;m shutting her out right now because I feel that I need to protect my heart. Everything about her (more so when we are in the same location/face to face) screams &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t agree with your life, Krista/Daughter.&amp;#8221; I&amp;#8217;m spiritually sick of feeling as though I&amp;#8217;m receiving that energy from her. I feel that for the first time in my entire life I am truly moving ahead with making authentic decisions. To feel like you face a wall from your closest people is the worst. I have also realized that this is just part of my life experience. As with my mom, either she will let down the wall I perceive for her to have up or I&amp;#8217;m moving on. It just feels too negative. My dilemma more so now is that I want her to see Kairo as much as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/16608031146</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/16608031146</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:15:13 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>"There is always an opportunity to create mindfulness.  ~Jessica Durivage"</title><description>“There is always an opportunity to create mindfulness.  ~Jessica Durivage”</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/12570670369</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/12570670369</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:16:18 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsonxumxjS1qzfya1o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/11229566926</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/11229566926</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Oct 2011 08:52:24 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Everyone is busy living their lives.

&lt;p&gt;Also, as of late, I&amp;#8217;ve been working on improving my self-value.  I realize now that I ask questions of others when a lot of the time I already know the answer&amp;#8230;I just want the validation.  Ugh&amp;#8230;this is really tough for me.  I want to know that someone else (someone that I trust/value) agrees and/or believes the same thing I do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is extremely tiring.  I&amp;#8217;m now on a path of trying to stay within my own mind to move forward.  I wish myself the best of luck&amp;#8230;lol.  =)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6360592039</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6360592039</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2011 12:38:46 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Behind a mean person lies fear. - kvw"</title><description>“Behind a mean person lies fear. - kvw”</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6324549062</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6324549062</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2011 10:33:18 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>How are you? vs. How are you feeling?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I commonly ask someone &amp;#8220;how are you?&amp;#8221; I ask this question to find out how they are doing emotionally.  If I were to say &amp;#8220;how are you feeling?&amp;#8221; that seems to get a response about how they are feeling physically.  In actuality, I want to know how someone is feeling emotionally.  Are you happy, sad, struggling?  This is where I find my connections with others.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6321463892</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6321463892</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2011 08:43:57 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>The thoughts are too fast...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;So many things to share.  The thoughts right now are too fast.  Then when I&amp;#8217;m SO ready to post I&amp;#8217;m away from the computer or with the baby.  Times are tough!  Lol.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6289257025</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6289257025</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2011 10:46:54 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Time moves slower so you have more time. kvw 607p"</title><description>“Time moves slower so you have more time. kvw 607p”</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6233203564</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6233203564</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jun 2011 18:07:18 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Find out how many toxins are in your every day products...</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/"&gt;Find out how many toxins are in your every day products...&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6184271755</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6184271755</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jun 2011 12:07:55 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Can you see into my soul?</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm95baMnUU1ql1c0ho1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can you see into my soul?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6168277998</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6168277998</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2011 23:13:59 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;My earliest human memory was being placed in a tub of ice water in an effort to lower a very high fever.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6168142425</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6168142425</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2011 23:06:37 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Rational Emotion vs Irrational Logic is a constant force within my being. - kvw"</title><description>“Rational Emotion vs Irrational Logic is a constant force within my being. - kvw”</description><link>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6167155086</link><guid>http://rationalemotion.tumblr.com/post/6167155086</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2011 22:18:16 -0700</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
