One of a Kind Love Affair

Published September 30, 2024 by tindertender

One of a kind love affair is
The kind of love that you read about in a fairy tale
Like the sun that shines on a rainy day, it’s a cloud of love
One of a kind love affair is
When your down is up when your up is down
But love stays around
And when you know you’re right, but you got to make a little sacrifice
You make it for love
Whoa-oh, yeah

I never thought about today would come
When she would leave without good-bye, yes, sir
She wrote a line or two upon the wall
Said, “I’m leaving you, know I love you too I can’t stay with you
Until this very day, I could never say a discouraging word
‘Cause I love you”
Whoa-oh-oh, yes, siree, now

When you hate to say, “Girl, I told you so, but you gotta go”
There won’t be a fight, ’cause your love is right
But you’re leaving wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
(One of a kind) ooh (love affair is) ooh, yeah
When you treat her nice but you finally have to pay the price
And though you know you’re right
But you got to make a little sacrifice
You make it for love
You make it for love
Ah, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh

One of a kind love affair is
Makes you want to love her, 
You just got to hug her, yeah
One of a kind, one of a kind, love affair is
Makes a lame man walk, makes a blind man talk about seein’ again
(One of a kind) oh yeah (love affair is) my heart
It makes me want to be around ya
Ah, girl, I’m glad I found ya
(One of a kind) wooh-ee, (love affair is) I want to tell you now
Every day is sunshine, girl, you’re on my mind
One of a kind, one of a kind love affair is
Makes me want to, want to be with you
(One of a kind) baby, baby, baby

Love Will Keep Us Alive

Published September 30, 2024 by tindertender

I ranted a bit this morning for reasons I’d rather not say.

Then I remembered ceremony on Saturday, a Buffalo Ceremony, and the spiritual gifting of name for a 2 month old baby girl … Shining White Sun Woman.

The memory filled me with a gentleness, and gratitude for being able to serve her beautiful mother and her siblings water during the long ceremony.

Then the lyrics from song rolled thru mind … Love will keep us alive … and suddenly I’m not feeling alone.

And I remember … Friggen awesome baby!! An exclamation of success.

I am so grateful that the agitation in me this morning was countered and balanced by this sweet memory and thoughts of togetherness and love.

I hope you get to experience it family!

Intentional Connections

Published September 26, 2024 by tindertender

Folks will pick a fight with you, just so they can have a role in your life.

They’ll love bomb you just to gain entry.

Where attention flows, energy goes.

Be aware of what you give your power to.

For they are quite intentional in approaching you.

You’ve got what they need!

A blessing.

A healing.

Sanity.

And in their mind, Power and Control.

Outcast, mentally tormented and stripped of memory

Treated as an unworthy guest in their own house

By those who couldn’t even do the upkeep

Rebirthed

Reborn

Transparency

Published September 25, 2024 by tindertender

“When you are transparent, you become unmistakable—no shadows, masks, or veils to blur the truth of who you are. In your transparency, others can look through you and into the core of your being, where your heart and essence glow with an unfiltered light. You stand as you are, clear and direct, with a kindness that needs no explanation.

There is no mystery to untangle, no enigma to decipher. You leave no one puzzled or lost in the aftermath of your words or actions. You are not a riddle but a presence fully understood. In your honesty, you refuse to hide. You carry the courage to show up fully, stripped of pretense or armor. You are bravery embodied, raw truth in human form.

In this nakedness, you don’t waver or seek approval. Your transparency is not a weakness but the purest strength. It is a declaration: “This is who I am”. You let yourself be seen, and in that openness, you stand out in a world that often shrouds itself in layers of pretense. Your authenticity shines like a beacon, guiding others toward their own.”

Cousin Itt

Published September 25, 2024 by tindertender

Awhile back I heard a masculine exclaim, “I just need to figure out what the F it is!”

And I remembered days long, long ago when my hair was to my waist, all nice and perfectly straight. I used to comb the hair in front and wear glasses and pretend to be “Cousin Itt”.

Memories … manifested into the present.

Strange, strange world.

She Is Goddess

Published September 24, 2024 by tindertender

She is Maiden, Mother and Crone
In one…

You will recognize her because she
makes genuine eye contact with whomever she meets…
She is not afraid to be direct and honest about how she feels

She charts her own course
And is willing to meet whatever comes
Because she has faith in her journey
She’s aware of her own strength

She delights in enabling the wellbeing and the empowerment of others
But she refuses to subject herself to energy drainers…
She sees through bullshit instantly
She knows how to protect herself
She is obedient to her own inner knowing,
She is willing to break the rules made by others
in order to be authentic to herself

Her truth comes directly through her heart
She uses her mind as the servant to manifest it

She is inwardly and outwardly aware
She responds more than she reacts
She no longer waters illusory drama
She no longer feels the need to control what is

She is deeply connected to her creative source
She is her own work of art in progress
She can create beauty from whatever is in front of her

She is in tune with her intuition and instinctual body
She lives in the present
Because she is willing to relinquish the past
And allow the future the space it needs to unfold

She understands that life is an ever changing flow from one moment to the next…
She willingly goes with it.

She feels deeply connected to the earth and stays close to nature,
She recognizes that she is not separate from it…
Being connected to nature is essential for her health and wellbeing

She has simplified her life
Released the non-essentials so that she can be spacious and free

She values her aloneness,
She waters her soul with it
But she also
values quality time with like minded souls

She doesn’t need a man to complete her
Her relationships are on an equal basis of respect and sharing
Unbridled sensual pleasure…

She has no time for gossip
She’s invested in raising the sisterhood up rather than cutting it down

She celebrates the beauty and power in other women
She celebrates the beauty and power within herself

She is just as willing to receive as she is to give
She fills her own cup for herself and overflows it for others

She understands the futility of unsolicited advice
So she shares her wisdom through living it

She envisions the healing of the world
She offers her gifts as a contribution towards it

Love is her religion
Unity is her gospel
Laughter is her grace

She loves to play through her inner child
Sing and dance through her inner maiden
She nurtures her body mind and spirit daily through her inner mother

Others seek her for her wisdom
Are irresistibly drawn to her unpredictable mystery

They feel seen and accepted in her steady gaze…
Peaceful in her sacred space

They are shocked by her irreverent humor
But secretly inspired, uplifted,
Given permission to be themselves

She is Maiden, Mother and Crone
In one
She is Goddess

There’s Somebody Playing With You Right Now

Published September 20, 2024 by tindertender

You’re unbothered by it!

They don’t know what to do about it, ya’all.

No one got time for that!

“As soon as they thought their plan was going to work,
God created another plan for them.
If it’s a war they want,
It’s a war they’re gonna get.”
