Forgiveness....

noreply@blogger.com (Sally Combs) — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 03:34:00 +0000

Forgiveness ... is a willingness to get over what you think should have happened and an acceptance of the reality of what actually happened.

Frozen....by Madonna

noreply@blogger.com (Sally Combs) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:42:00 +0000

You only see what your eyes want to see

How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Freedom, Love and Forgiveness

noreply@blogger.com (Sally Combs) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:25:00 +0000

Are you grateful?
I am...
Grateful for the experiences in my life
that lead me to a path of freedom.
Freedom from carrying the pain of others.
Freedom from being a victim or needing to victimize others because of my pain.
Grateful for the lessons in my life that have taught me that love and forgiveness are the path to freedom.
Understanding that when someone speaks poorly of someone,
they are really speaking of themselves and have not
relieved themselves from the bondage of self.
We are our greatest challenge.
Our minds, our thoughts can keep us trapped,
or, if we do the work, free us from ourselves.
I am grateful,
Grateful that I understand and own my own behavior.
That gives me the freedom from having to blame others for
things that have not gone my way in life.
Just think of the impact our example would have on our children.
The sense of freedom it may give them. Or the example it will provide them for their future.
In laymen's terms, suck it up for our children! Get over yourself, climb out of that bottle or
the old thinking and be a grateful human being.
Things go the way they are supposed to.
There is always a lesson.....
LEARN IT!
and you will live more open. more free and with passion for life and
the freedom of self for others!
Love and Forgiveness = Freedom

Thank you for the love, encouragement and laughs!

I will not fear those who have hurt me,
For You have given me power.
I shall sleep without nightmares;
You have given me peace.
I shall awaken with a clear and rested mind;
You have given me clarity.
I shall start my day happy, joyous, and free;
You have given me my recovery;
You have given me a new life.
For Your grace,
I will demonstrate my gratitude
In useful and positive action
Throughout this day.

Riches take wings.

And that is
CHARACTER.

MIGRAINE....

noreply@blogger.com (Sally Combs) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:17:00 +0000

What are you trying to tell me?
Your pain makes this shiny person
Love the dark
The sun was my pleasure, my light
Now you make it pain
Or is the fluorescence's?
Oh you suck, my big migraine!
What should I eat?
Who should I tell about my private hell?
Yes, I do tell and many
Only to discover the lives you affect
So many
I will not keep you a secret
I will embrace you
You are now a part of my life for a reason
I hope it's only for a season
This experience I will share
As one more layer of character is the burden I bare
This soul gets clarity with the pain
The darkness makes everything a gain
My purpose is getting more clear
Quiet time brings a deepness that becomes dear
To be shared with others that may be scared
Turn it around and see the faith
The brightness that has a path
To lightness beyond the wrath
The time we do not take
Is now not a mistake
To stop is to listen
To look and to love the things that are not understood
When we let go and let in the light
The love far outweighs any plight
To share is to care
To get to the next level
These migraines are a gift
Wrapped in darkness that is much brighter than I know
Love an Peace will prevail
As long as I make it through my migraine......Hayell......

Phil Bronstein Article in the San Francisco Chronicle

noreply@blogger.com (Sally Combs) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:57:00 +0000

I shared my 'Wives Tale' on my Blog, 9/8/09. Phil is one of my wives husbands...see the awesome article Phil wrote about his wives wives. A man's perspective on his wife having a wife. Thanks Phil!

Wives have wives - and that's healthy
Phil Bronstein
Monday, October 26, 2009

My wife has a wife. More than one, in fact. She has a whole harem of wives. I like it that way, and so does she.
This is not about some perverse polygamist ranch cult in flannel shirts and bonnets, coke-stoked threesomes or even white bread voyeurism. These are wives without sexual benefits.
They don't need them. These women - most with boyfriends or husbands and kids - have found such a deep kinship with each other that they use the term "wife" as the only expression that sufficiently describes the true intimacy and richness of their relationships.
On her show last week, Oprah Winfrey said, "Every mom needs a wife," an update of an old feminist joke from the '60s. Well, Oprah, right here in the Bay Area, birthplace of cultural trends, some moms do have wives. And the network is growing.
"When one falls, the other takes care of the children and puts Epsom salts in her bath," a local wife named Sally wrote on her blog. "I love the men in my life, but my wives are there when (things) stink. They feed me, bathe me and push me when I think I can't go further."
"The use of 'wife' does communicate very much what women are doing and how they're giving to one another with that kind of depth," says Bay Area researcher Judie Donaldson, who has done doctoral work on women's lives at Southern California's Fielding Institute.
"What I've experienced in initial conversations," Donaldson says of a major project she's beginning on women and their relationships, "is that a level of intimacy and support evolves that's closer than many (traditional) families. Women have a thirst for this."
These women regularly cook for one another's families, take care of their wives' kids, show up at births and deaths, pull each other into or out of tubs in times of trauma and perform emergency emotional resuscitation when their wives are in deep postpartum or divorce depression.
Sure, it's a little weird when a woman yells, "Wife!" at another woman across the grocery store aisle. Even in Whole Foods.
But it's a trend that, in very practical ways, makes women happier and healthier.
A Harvard Medical School study found that a lack of "wife"-level ties can be as hazardous as smoking or obesity. Genuinely close female relationships also help women recover faster from the death of a spouse, the study says.
Other medical research shows benefits that include breast cancer patients four times less likely to die of the disease, and a reduction of blood pressure and heart disease risk. UCLA researchers discovered that wife networks reduce stress significantly.
This is all good news for women.
Some men, however, worry they're being replaced. Some of my wife's wives' husbands have groused to me about it, sounding like Ricky Ricardo when he's discovered Lucy and Ethel in the thick of some goofball plot.
But they're missing the point.
If I'm stuck at work and the kids are going nuts at home, or we're sucked into one of life's many riptides, I know whom to call to help make it better. Now that's really Big Love.

Shoes on Sale 2009

What a wonderful time! Many thanks to QVC and the Footwear Association of New York for the great party and the joint efforts at finding a cure for breast cancer! Here are some photo's from the event.

It's the little things.....

noreply@blogger.com (Sally Combs) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:43:00 +0000

and the little people in my life......

this brings a grin to my face...hope it does yours :)

noreply@blogger.com (Sally Combs) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:58:00 +0000

Be the kind of woman that in the morning when your feet hit the ground, the devil says, 'Oh Crap, she's up!'

WIVES.....in the most traditional sense :)

noreply@blogger.com (Sally Combs) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:17:00 +0000

Let me introduce to you Christina on the left and Chris in the middle holding two week old Charlotte! These are my wives, yes, my wives.

Once, I was a traditional wife...it was like asking me to live in a box and only come out when spoken to. I had claustrophobia and a stomach ache for three years. When I got divorced my husband asked if I still had a stomach ache. I said 'no'. He said, ' I didn't think so', and turned and walked away. He knew it and I knew it. It is not a sad tale you see, as he went and got a new one and well, so did I. I got several.

Not in the traditional, biblical sense, but in the most common sense sort of way. These women are my friends. They bust my tail when I am hiding from the truth. They don't tell me I am fat, they tell me I am 'juicy couture' and that I had better not have desert tonight. And somehow manage to get my tail out of bed at 8 am to climb a mountain. These women never fail. If they do, we do it together. We face it together. When one falls the other takes care of the children and puts Epsom salts in her bath. She even calls and jams up the guy who broke her heart this time. These are my true wives. I love the men in my life, but my wives are there when the shit stinks. And they don't even crinkle their nose. They feed me, bath me and push me when I think I cannot go further.

I am so grateful for my wives. These are not the only two. I have wives who don't even know they are my wives, but I think it would freak their husbands out if I called them that. So I don't.

My wife on the left will yell and call me her wife in various situations, public situations. It really did make me somewhat nervous as I didn't want anyone to think anything, think we really were wives...blah, blah, blah. Turns out, people think whatever they want anyway, and she lives in Northern California so no one bats an eye at this public display of affection!

Now when I date I am just honest about my wives. As you can imagine there is a lot of curiosity at first. There are bonuses to dating a woman with wives. You will never miss a meal. You will always get the truth, one way or another. You never have to go anywhere alone if you don't want to. In fact, the men quite often find them selves surrounded at a nice dinner with three or four well coiffed women. Now what man doesn't like that?

These women are life long friend's. Men have come and gone in my life in the form of husband, boyfriend or stud, like I am dating now. (that's for you honey, not my husband but would make a damn good one) But these women have always been there. They are the one's I should really be married too. That is, if I ever considered that again!

May you find life long friends in your life. They make it all worth while!

PEACE.....LOVE and MANY WIVES....
