The Journey of Passionate Love
By Cheryl F. Batoon
Today is a day where love just seems to shine its beacon of light wherever I look. As I look down, I see love in the ground, in nature, and even in my slippers. Yes my slippers. They have taken me through days of comfort and have given me love over and over again…my feet are warm, comfortable, and I do feel loved!
Look to the right and you see your partner, your children, and your family members. To the left, you see your friends, your co-workers, and all those folks that have been there for you even though they are not related by blood. This is your Soul Family.
Behind you, you see those that you have said good-bye to for whatever reason, thru a mutual decision, thru no decision of yours at all, thru death, or whatever means that led to them no longer being in your life.
In front of you is your journey of passionate love. This road is the path that both you and God had discussed and agreed upon before you set foot on Earth. This is your life purpose, your passion; this is your journey of passionate love.
Finally, we look up and we see the beautiful infinite sky. This is where True Love was born! Keep your head to the sky, keep your arms outstretched to embrace those to the left and right, keep your feet grounded so that you are able to receive these beautiful blessings, and remember to no longer look back for those you have left behind were not a part of God’s Journey of life for you. Their moments were fleeting, their moments were lessons, their moments were of love, their moments will be missed, but their moments are over in this lifetime…send them all your blessings and love, but no longer look back.
Get those beautifully loved feet back to moving to the rhythm of the heart and to the percussion of God’s ever loving beat…as God shines the beacon of light to show you the way…love is here now and more is awaiting you on that path. Are you ready???!!!
Much blessings and love to you as you live your life strolling down “The Journey of Passionate Love”.

Today, I feel compelled to write about Selfishness vs Selflessness. Since we were small children, we have been taught to share our toys, share our candy, share our food, share our space, and so on and so forth. These were valuable lessons since it is true that we all are connected and we are all here to serve and to share; however, I say to you on this day, be selfish.
To be selfish in the context I am speaking of here is to begin spending time within you for if you are experiencing health issues, only you have the ability to heal yourself and it begins with your heart and it begins with selfishness. Selfishness in a spiritual sense is to take care of your needs at all times. If you are taking care of everyone else’s needs, you are not taking care of you; therefore, you may be experiencing health issues and other difficulties in your life.
We have the power to create within us the life that we choose to live and the only way to truly attain this is to have selfishness in your heart for you. This doesn’t mean to be greedy or selfish with material things, this means to be selfish with you. Know your limitations, use discernment in all things. If you are being pulled in various directions that are not of your choosing, then you are not in control of you.
Be selfish with your needs and each day that you awaken, take care of you. If you need to eat upon awakening, it is ok to serve others, but ensure you also have the nutrition you need for if you do not take care of you, everything you do for anyone else is for naught.
Selflessness may give you the attention you believe you deserve because you believe you are a martyr and as such others should take care of you, but I tell you that isn’t the case. The more that you give, yes you will receive and maybe not from the source, but you will receive it; however, if you are always giving and taking no time for you to heal, to grow, to learn, to prosper, you will wilt and your body will die. This may sound harsh, but it is the reality that you have created for yourself.
Balance out your life with selfishness and selflessness. Each day, take care of all your own needs as you balance out giving to others. You will find that this is very easy to do each day that you practice this way of thinking. I am selfish now for I know that I must take care of me, but as I travel down that road of selfishness, I will feel such great energy, I will KNOW that I can heal myself of all illnesses, and I KNOW that each day that I am selfish, I am happy and filled with delight, wonder, awe, and most of all abundance.
Be selfish today and take care of you for YOU are all YOU truly have as an earthly body. Your spirit will live forever, but take care of you and you will live the life you have always wanted and needed. Your family and friends will build you up for they respect your needs and wants as you respect theirs.
Take control of your life today for you are the creator of all within you and with source God residing within you, you are the most powerful creator of your destiny. Live in the moment taking care of YOU!
Much love and blessings to you on this day and everyday as you continue down the path of selfishness and selflessness…

Here is a poem that I wrote in about 10 mins to further describe what a spiritual, soulful connection means to me – ENJOY!
Spiritual, Soulful Connections
What is a spiritual connection you ask?
Well let’s break it down by task
Life is but an illusion
And our hearts are in fusion
Love is a many segmented emotion
That provides us all with the notion
That we are here to love everyone
And to give, to hold, to touch one by one
It begins with initial attraction
And the first touch and spoken caption
For as we sail away in the midnight blue
It is always just me and you
A soulful connection is the way to go
To feel true love and to know
That you are blessed in all you do
As we fly away in the sky so blue
I have learned that each and every day
My love will grow and forever stay
Within your heart and mine so close
We now have a love that we can boast
I have tried and tried to have the superficial thang
But no matter how much I try, I just can’t hang
For I need true love that is lasting and real
That no one can take, grab, or steal
Give me a spiritual, soulful connection today
So that I can continue on my way
Knowing that I am loved for who I am
Not just for the physical thang, I’ll be damned
Give me love or give me reason
To take my love and share thru the season
For you and I were meant to be
A Spiritual Connection, can’t you see?
To love me is to know me
Not for what you see
But for what I am on the inside today
Can we make a way?
Please me, love me, tease me
Know that I’m the truth and the way to see
That Spiritual connections is what God has for us
Do you now understand that isn’t just lust?
Be true to yourself and you shall see
That time is an illusion for me
We are never separated for we are ONE
And once discovered our search is DONE
