I love everything about this article. I'm a now single mom of 3 girls - Ages 20, 5 &4, and definitely wish more USEFUL, down home motherly advice had been shared with me as an 18 yr. old Mommy. That's when I began reading books.....

How wonderfully creative, and must have just completely overwhelmed this girl!!! I know it would me to see all the people I love dancing in the street for me =D Thank GOD she said "yes," even if she could only nod, LOL.

A lot of awesome & funny quotes! As a mother of 3 girls, ages 20, 5 & 4, I need all the encouragement and more importantly HUMOR I can get o.O Love the last quote =D

Thank you, Ben. Finally had some quiet moments to watch your video, as I know I have to be able to truly listen when I click on your face =0) This is definitely a crucial area that demands our attention. For me, and many other "highly sensitive" types, as we're labeled, we were pushed (as you mentioned) to feel less, express with great caution, and question many of our instincts/our very nature to better "manage" and be "acceptable.:" I've always said I was never very good at building walls or a thicker skin in this world, as most naturally do, and the sensitive usually do out of necessity to survive really. And though I've spent years trying to rewrite my thoughts, erase my conditioning, and so on, this video brings to my attention, once again, alongside the relentless signs/lessons in my life, that I was more "successful" at building one wall, if you can even call it a wall (survival response more so), and that is Fear and Isolation (well that's two, but technically one ;0). When I first began seeking psychotherapy at age 18, after becoming a young mother, I was diagnosed with Agoraphopia, first and foremost. And although it's only a label, I think it hits my core issues more than any other diagnosis' i've received. I do believe, will never know to what extent, most stemmed from separation from both my mom and dad simultaneously at age 2 1/2 to 5, until I was reunited with my mother. Happening during the "Separation Stage," I learned it probably heavily impacted my base level of security. But it was really people and society that caused me to close up further, as I would still push myself to be open, friendly, daring, and just "ME." After curving and scaling "ME" down quite a bit through my teen years, I've spent years trying to get her back, and keep her from going back in her shell (for longer periods anyway) when I feel more vulnerable or sensitivities are heightened or just a lot of sh*t going down, ya know? I'll stop here...but this is what your video triggers for me personally, and I am very grateful for anything that keeps me "real," honest with myself amidst society and my own inner defense mechanisms, which are always lurking, waiting to rear their ugly heads the moment i slip back into unconsciousness. Love and light bless and keep you, Ben <3

Thank you for your piercing light so perfectly bright this morning =D

It has taken me a long time to see how often I've given over my power to people, thoughts, things. I've found myself saying for a while, "Life doesn't let me get away with sh*t. She makes me be honest with myself, the bloody b*tch." I wouldn't have it any other way, though I've certainly tried a time or three! But now whenever I'm with someone, or choosing thoughts or behaviors that are not in the flow with divinity, i feel it deep within my bones and it refuses to leave me alone until I face it. Because sometimes, the options before our eyes look heavenly in their disguise....until we cannot ignore their deeper lies.

Poignant words to kickstart a young life, and amp us older folk up a bit =P Much love for this and Mr. Rollins <3 Way to BE it, and preach it, Waylon Lewis.
