Honoring our Girlfriends!
This is Jadey Lady with Judy, aka “Mama Rama”! It was not love at first sight, but as you can see, it’s ALL LOVE NOW! Have you EVER seen such love?!!!! We met under unusual circumstances, as is usually the case with life-long girlfriends. She has brought me great joy and deep soul searching. We’ve had bumpy times. We’ve laughed and cried uncontrollably. She has challenged and inspired me. She has served me as mentor, friend, advisor, and to my GREAT delight, as my living and breathing Mother of Choice. I have learned, under her great tutelage, the surprise of my life – how very LOVED I am! I have blossomed because of her capacity to LOVE…and to experience a “Mama Rama Hug” is to know how very generous the Universe really is! Mahalo Nui Loa (Thank You from the Heart) Mama Rama for just Being Who You Are!
Let’s inspire the community of Girlfriends here on Planet Earth by sharing our Girlfriend stories. It’s a great way to honor the deep relationships we have and hold dear!

The mirror exposes all the places I need healing
Whatever is unresolved in myself, that which needs healing in me, I will project onto others. I then have my own “stuff” mirrored back to me until it becomes so painful that rather than blaming them, I begin to search inside myself for a resolution. If I am truly honest at this moment, I see that it was only my ideas, my buttons, my fears, and my own perceived shortcomings. When I own-up to what I’ve been about, I become so “done” with these ideas that I am ready to forgive. When I am really ready to forgive, this means that I see my “offender” as innocent because I now recognize it’s been just my ideas about them, not who they actually are. Thus forgiving “them” is really forgiving myself of my own not-so-good ideas. If I am truly done with these unfortunate ideas of mine, whatever they are, I see less and less of them in my world because I am no longer projecting them onto others. I see that my brother/sister has done me a service in presenting me with all my unhealed places. I recognize that I am also performing this same “service” for others.
I suppose this model for healing is a good design, once we catch-on to how it works that is. I am left wondering however, if there is a different way to heal – a more efficient and gentler way for both myself and others. I would love to hear your feedback.
