Accountability
Taking responsibility for our choices
In today’s world we often hear
“it is not my fault, they/she/he made me do it.”
Passing blame for our own choices and behaviors intends to minimize the harm we have done with those choices.
Taking responsibility for the end results of our choices and behaviors is called integrity.
What do Your Inner Voices Say?
Revealing Your Inner Goddess
Knowing yourself is difficult sometimes. If we are taught to ignore our own feelings, then we tend to be out of touch with our true dreams and inner wishes. In this circumstance, our Goddess is lost and unknown. As a child, were you told statements such as the following? "Don't cry. You are okay," or "Stop being mad. You have nothing to be mad about." These are statements that condition you to ignore yourself and your feelings.
You can't touch it,
but it affects how you feel.
You can't see it,
but it's there when you
look at yourself in the mirror.
You can't hear it
Self-Esteem
When we see accounts of child molestation on the news, perhaps we feel vulnerable and frightened. Can anything be done to protect our children? We ask ourselves, “How can anyone use a child for sexual gratification?” . We can protect our children by learning the dynamics of molest, learning the history of molest, and becoming informed of the reasons people tolerate the abuse of children.
Sometimes when we grow up with abuse we think it is “normal” or usual. We feel all families behave like this. So, it is important to know what is abuse. If we educate ourselves on what are abusive behaviors, we can eliminate that behavior and treatment in our relationship and current family.
