love notes from monique #5

I wanted to create a softer side to Real Bliss because we all need a little tenderness.

So I’ve been going through this revelation of sorts – a transition that’s required a lot. It’s why I’ve been quiet here… because my energy had to shift so I could receive and allow.

I’m discovering that I want to do something very different from what I’m doing. I’m discovering that this website is not quite a match for what I want to put out in the world. It originally came from a place of being an authority, but simply, I am not that. I just want to be a woman going through life sharing it with others, knowing that my newly found clarity may shed light for others. After all, isn’t that all life is?

But whatever I’ve been doing here up until this point is not fully what I have to offer you. How I previously knew life was in a sort of bubble that required that I have some sort of expertise, and in that bubble, I don’t get to share of myself fully.

Please do not gather from this that I am saying that what I’ve done here so far is not good. It is. And I thank the stars for it, because it has saved my life in a lot of ways.

But it’s time to amplify in a new way. And I’ve been in the midst of a change and revelation that will allow me to do that.

So on the eve of our 5th Anniversary here at the (r)evolution of bliss, we’ll be changing too. You’ll notice the changes a little at a time, because I think rapid change can impact in negative ways just as much as resisting change can.

But there will be substantial changes and shifts that will be perceptible. Thank you in advance for moving with us. Thank you in advance for allowing all of this to be new to you. Thank you for having been here for it all, and if you’re just joining, thank you for welcoming in this world.

We’re here for your (r)evolution and ours.

love notes from monique #4

I wanted to create a softer side to Real Bliss because we all need a little tenderness.

There’s this vicious cycle of hard work that tells you it’s wrong to revel in your good feelings about your accomplishments. It tells you that this type of behavior is equal to complacency.

So this stunts your ability to feel good and revel in your own happiness about your own experience. In turn, it can make you feel like a ‘stooge’ for feeling good; over time, it can make you feel ridiculous for feeling good about what you did at all.

We’re told we’re wallowing, or that being “complacent” makes us soft… weak. So we learn to stifle our happiness and our good feelings. We don’t want to be soft.

Hard is better.

So we turn away from feeling good and turn into the hardness. Being harder must be better. Isn’t harder stronger? And if that’s true, isn’t harder more durable? Better to be durable than weak.

But is hard more durable? The fact is that hard becomes brittle over time. And brittle breaks. So which is more durable? Hard or malleable?

Malleable means flexible. Flexible is not rigid. But being flexible also means a willingness to be vulnerable — to not look strong all the time, to not be impervious.

Where can this inquiry take you? What can you heal that you’ve held in all this time?

is ‘at the beginning’ such an awful place to be… again?

As we get older, we place such a heavy burden on ‘being at the beginning,’ like we’re never supposed to be there again. And if we are at the beginning… again, damn it… then we must’ve done something wrong.

In our world, there is such a high price tag placed on experience. Experience gets you everything. A good job. A good deal on a car, or a home. Leadership. Authority over others. The ability to be a teacher when everyone else is a novice. Legacy.

Being at the beginning is for, well, beginners. And if you’re a novice, you sure as hell can’t be someone with experience. Even rites of passage are set out to create milestones in a life so that a person can say, “Well, I’ve reached that stepping stone, upward and onward.” And now they can even show (tell) someone else how.

Experience, and not being at any beginning are lauded in our societies. And yet, we’re all new to something at some time in our lives. Sometimes, we welcome new beginnings with excitement, but then there comes a certain age that once you pass it it can become strained, and far less acceptable, to be new. At anything.

And that’s a loss.

Because isn’t the beginning where everything, well, begins?


And there are some times when we find ourselves welcoming, even relishing, being at the beginning; but it’s the places where we don’t have grace for ourselves being new is what’s being referenced here. What could it be to be curious about what we haven’t yet discovered? What could it be to be curious about what we are beginning at again, or about the surprises we may find? What could it be to wonder about what’s around the corner from that new starting place, instead of dreading it?

The Alpha and the Omega? The beginning and the end? The circle of infinity?

In life, we are always at the beginning of something. So why the long face? Why the muffled curses under your breath? Why the overwhelm? What’s up with the dismissive thoughts? Why the need to diminish the beginning as if it’s only for beginners, like beginning is a less-than situation for someone of your repertoire? Right now, given you are the one at the beginning, it seems you too are the beginner.


Beginnings can be a place of grace. Of healing. Beginnings can be a reset. Beginnings can be sweet.

let’s look at some ways in which we may dismiss being ‘at the beginning’ and ultimately miss out on the gift of being new to a moment, or even, new to all of life

an exercise in love

an exercise in loving yourself can be confronting

self care isn t selfish signage

… it can bring up all your cynicism about life, and mostly because it’s a challenge to love “the unlovable you,” “the selfish you,” “the angry you,” “the shameful or shamed you,”

hasn’t someone told you that you’re unlovable? selfish? angry? shameful? or otherwise?

or have they just shown you that they don’t care? shown you they don’t see you? shown you they are not interested in the ‘you’ you’ve become? shown you how to be ashamed of yourself?

even if you have had an incredibly loving family, there may have been moments in which you felt invisible…

and in those small or big moments of all of our lives, choices were made as hearts were broken in the smallest or most grandiose ways

now it’s time for you to create a pathway to the only love that you can truly feel anytime you want to…

your own

now, you can look at that statement in a myriad of ways…

you can be saddened by it, or feel disheartened by it,

or you could look upon it with joy, or in the least, with great relief,

either way, and however you feel,

this statement holds truth, that once you give over to, can set you free


this is an act of courage… join us for this exercise in self-care and self-love
