A wonderful friend of mine loves the concept of Wholarianism so much that he incorporated into his newly painted stairs. What do you think?

I woke up a few nights ago with a word in my head. It felt like someone had shouted it out loud in my room and in my half-awake, half-asleep state I said it a few times to myself. Then I told myself I would remember it in the morning and look it up in the dictionary to see what it meant. Thankfully I actually remembered it when I woke up and did look it up in the dictionary.

It wasn't there...

How could this word not be in the dictionary? How could this incredible word not exist in our language yet? How could a google search show no results. Hmmm...

And there it is. The birth of a new word and the word is Wholarian. It means to believe in the whole. Wholarians understand and recognize that they are part of a bigger picture. They realize that their thoughts, words and actions have an impact on the world and the people around them. And Wholarians know that they have a responsibiity to that whole because we all make a difference.

So, are you a Wholarian? Do you realize that you are part of a bigger picture? Do you know that your thoughts, words and actions have an impact on everything around you? Do you understand that you make a difference?

It is my sense that many people here on this Gaiam site are Wholarians. And our example can change the way others think about their lives and their world.

I look forward to hearing from my fellow Wholarian. I look forward to saying hello to others who know they make a difference. And I look forward to our journey together.

I don't "love" a lot of the pop songs that are out these days. Many of them seem to lack a message, or a feeling.

Here is an exception. I have included the lyrics. ENJOY!

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

Oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
the rest still unwrittrn

(Gospel)
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live you life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten

Relationships... I've thought a lot about them lately because there are so many kinds. In different relationships I am different things - daughter, sister, friend, co-worker, godmother, teacher, coach, neighbor, lover, peacemaker, powerful woman, vulnerable little girl, student, healer... And the list goes on.

I think there is something to learn in each relationship that I have in my life. I am very blessed to have so many healthy, loving, caring, beautiful relationships and each and every one teaches me a little bit more about myself. I have grown more in the past 5 years of my life through these relationships than I have in the previous 40 years. What a gift!!!

But I still become baffled when a relationship goes astray. In those cases, no amount of love, tenderness or caring make it "good." Of course I learn something there as well when I am able to put enough distance between me and the situation. But, for me there is still a sense of pain, loss and sorrow when I/we can't make it work.

The good news in my mind is that relationships never end. They change, they shift, they move, but ultimately they are still always there. The definition around the relationship may take on a different meaning. The amount of contact and/or communication you have with that person may increase or decrease. But once you have touched another soul, you can never take that away. You are connected forever even if it is just through memories.

I thank God for bringing so many incredible people into my life. Each and every one is a blessing and a chance for me to live life from a deeper place. I hope that I am able to give back even a portion of what I receive. And I look forward to even more incredibly wonderful people sharing my world with me. I celebrate new relationships, I celebrate old relationships and I send peace to those who chose to stay as well as those who chose to go. You have all taught me about myself and I am grateful.

If I felt any better right now I would explode!!!!! This moment is absolutely perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Because it makes me smile!!!!
