Here I share the formula to no longer sacrifice you and what matters most.

Fathering yourself means stepping into the role of the wise, protective, loving father for your inner child. It means permitting yourself to feel, to heal, and to grow into the man you were meant to be. Many men try to push past their childhood wounds. And this works for some time, but what I've come to learn is as the old saying goes, what we resist, persists.

Surrender to Deep Sleep

“Perhaps it is more fitting than ever to allow acceptance into your heart; to let it guide you towards even greater things.” ~ Dorothy Zennuriye Juno ~ Sometimes it is through our perseverance and dedication that the relationship becomes what we make it. At other times, we are not able to have the kind of relationship that we would like. If the other person is unable or unwilling to meet our needs of honesty, trustworthiness, kindness and integrity, then the relationship will be limited. Acceptance is the understanding of this. Acceptance of 'what is' guides us into something better. Please reach out to me if you would like my help in the practice and the art of acceptance. Namaste. dorothyzennuriyejuno.com

“Perhaps it is more fitting than ever to allow acceptance into your heart; to let it guide you towards even greater things.” - Dorothy Ratusny We do not always have the kind of relationships that we would like. Sometimes it is through our perseverance and dedication that the relationship becomes what we make it; and at times it is because the other person is not able to meet our needs; our needs of honesty, of trustworthiness, of kindness, and of integrity, that the relationship is limited. Acceptance must also be the understanding of this; the ability to allow for others on their own path and journey through life; and to release our attachments, to what we can accept is not possible; not as the result of our unwillingness, rather the acknowledgement and acceptance that another is unwilling or unable – or both.

Acceptance allows for growth in relationships, even when the other person can't meet our needs; it means releasing attachments to what is not possible.

Gratitude Meditation

Have you ever considered how many pages are left unturned in your life? How many things you’ve thought about but never tried. We are so much closer to wonder and transformation than we know. But if these possibilities continue to remain in our blindspot, as time inevitably passes, they may someday only appear in our rearview mirror. My daughter recently gave me a book that inspired me to write this today. I imagine her, alone in the bookstore carefully selecting a title that she knows will delight me. She is an expert at giving and seems to find immense joy in it and yet she is a complete novice when it comes to giving to herself.

Don't let possibilities remain in your blindspot, embrace wonder and transformation before they disappear in your rearview mirror, inspired by a gift from a giving daughter.
