Spotting liars – and eliminating them from your life as soon as you spot it – allows for peace/calm and effectiveness to come in.

I knew 3 people who are pathological liars.

One is a cop who does it as a career that spills over into his personal life, and has zero consciousness/conscience (?) and takes no repsonsibility, nor does he care.

The second is a woman who cheats on her husband and lies to her boyfriend of 5 years as well.
She says she lies to survive but the facts are that she has zero intention of ever being truthful she enjoys the drama.

The third also lies to her husband, and has a boyfriend she goes to church with who is also married – and she thinks she is a good person because she goes to Church.
The boyfriend’s wife told her to stay away from her husband – she flat faced lied to the boyfriend’s wife and denied it – and the boyfriend made his wife apologize to her for her suspicions ! And she ‘graciously accepted’ it !!!!
She lies to herself constantly to self-aggrandize herself.

I lied when I was young for attention and always got caught. I learned being truthful was easier and cleaner. Now I try not only to be truthful with myself and others, but to have those in my life that operate by the same standards.

Since liars are in denial about the damage they do, it’s best once you recognize them, to not have them around you energetically. Their vibration does not enhance/improve the happiness in your life :)

Awareness brings the power of good with it, when your intention is to live with truth.

I have been silently following your blog for quite some time now. I think your readers have been so blessed by your words. I am very happy for you and the completion of your book. I can’t wait for it’s publication so that I might purchase a copy for myself.

I knew you as a young girl although not well. I went through my own personal family turmoil and challenges as a teenager but tried to cocooned myself so as not to totally feel the hurt that can be the cruel world of junior/senior high school and since then I have realized in my adulthood that many other teens experienced different types of pain during that time as well. Sometimes we are so wrapped up in our own pain that we don’t look around to see that others are in pain as well. I am happy that you have come through your troubled times and hope that your book is a huge success…you deserve it!!!

Your blog was a lifesaver for me when I was in incredible emotional pain.

Each time I would see a new post, I’d read it and feel a moment of comofrt, a moment of insight, a moment of gentle wisdom.

And each post seemed to speak exactly to what I needed to hear/learn/know most that day.

You words were a healing bridge for me, and sometimes all I was able to feel that was positive, when the rest of the world seemed so bleak and I couldn’t understand life.

I needed you – the blog – and it was there, consistently, my light in the darkness, until the darkness gradually grew lighter and lighter. And then I could venture out emotionally and intellectually and find others who also offered new keys to awareness, while still returning to you here for the food thought that you offered so generously.

You were my sponsor of sorts, although at the time I did not understand that I was an addict. Thank you for helping me change my life, even if you never knew your words were doing it, you were, and I am grateful.

When I think back to all of the people – and blogs – that were the keys to my eventual success and stability – you were one of the first building blocks in that pyramid of self-esteem and self-respect that comes with facing truth, admitting fact, seeing clearly, and making the changes you need to have a contented and healthy life.

*blessings* to you Barb. May your wise clarity and the goodness that comes as a result of hearing it be returned to you 1,000 fold.

It’s my hope that those who get the book will find it as comforting as you all have as witnessed by your comments over the past couple of years.

Lessons? I don’t know. What I do know is that happiness comes ad goes. I am blessed when it is here…. and I am sad and angry when it is not. The hardest part is trying to keep happy and positive through the good and the bad. That’s why, sometimes, I visit here.

Therein lies the lesson?

You appear to have answered your own question, and still, that doesn’t make the reason for the question to have to be asked in the first place any more sensible to comprehend…
I think sometimes we’d all lead happier, more prouductive lives without being challenged – or having to learn certain lessons, and I cannot always explain the reasons behind karma.

Like, were we born having to figure certain things out, and there is no escaping it ?

And do people who appear to have it easier, were they just more evolved fInally on the karmic board, they have lived more lifetimes, paid more dues already ?

I look forward to your book coming out :)

I agree about the setbacks. It’s just been another growth opportunity. I should probably start my “more of” book now with all of this in mind.
