My favorite part about being a writer is discovering the arc--trajectory of growth--of my characters. It's not unlike getting to know a new friend or love interest. We all have aspects of our personality that are greatly affected by the various facets of what makes up our character--the set of learned behavior patterns that inform how we interact and engage with ourselves and other. Instead of looking at the parts of ourselves and others' character we don't vibe with, I'm attempting to be less of pain in the BUTT about the "thorns" we carry and more of an Enchanted BEAST.  Be sure to claim your first surcie using the link below.

Roughly about 25% of Americans believe in some form of reincarnation and about the same amount of Europeans not associated with religions believing in reincarnation “This concept of rebirth necessarily implies the continuity of personality… (that) one is able, at least potentially, to remember that one has lived through previous existences and that these existences were one's own…” Carl Gustav Jung "TO LIVE A CREATIVE LIFE, WE MUST LOSE OUR FEAR OF BEING WRONG." ~Joseph Chilton Pearce Creative—a deeper, closer, more intimate look (link to OE dictionary) The number fourteen is a powerful and transforming number My Definition of Creative Creative is having a productive imagination capable of working with all available temples on-hand, while actively producing the soul’s quality intention to function as resourcefully as possible.

In this episode, Ella shares her take on the differences between saying "I'm sorry" and "I apologize" and how understanding those differences can lead to more #intimate communication between #women and #men in their #relationships. KEY POINTS OF INTEREST When a person says, they are simply expressing how they feel about a situation. An apology isn’t filled with regret and/or remorse; although it may be, in general, it’s a formal admittance of a wrong we’ve done. In a psychological study, it was found that men and women apologize for about 81% of the time when they feel they’ve done something offensive or wrong. EVERYONE HAS BLIND SPOTS.  [Nanny]: "Honey, de white man is de ruler of everything as fur as Ah been able tuh find out. Maybe it’s some place way off in de ocean where de black man is in power, but we don’t know nothin’ but what we see. So de white man throw down de load and tell de nigger man tuh pick it up. He pick it up because he have to, but he don’t tote it. He hand it to his womenfolks. De nigger woman is de mule uh de world so fur as Ah can see.“ There Eyes Were Watching God. ZNH Women apologize from a place of empathy and responsibility  Men apologize from a place of self-justification and preservation Focus—take responsibility for personal actions without causing or feeling guilt Facts—Event, item of information, or state of affairs existing, observed, or known to have happened, and which is confirmed or validated to such an extent that it is considered 'reality.’ BusinessDictionary.com Fight: in reality, you both want the same outcome Fair—marked by impartiality and honesty: free from self-interest, prejudice, or favoritism RESOURCES  https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/01/04/sorry-language-shamers-but-women-just-dont-need-your-new-email-policing-app/ https://www.gracepointwellness.org/109-post-traumatic-stress-disorder/article/55760-reptilian-brain-of-survival-and-mammalian-brain https://patch.com/illinois/darien-il/the-male-reptilian-brain https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1246219/Why-men-really-feel-guilt-women.html https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-squeaky-wheel/201503/the-surprising-upside-guilt-and-shame https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/02/peering-into-our-blind-spots/ https://www.uschamberfoundation.org/blog/post/are-men-intentionally-insensitive https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/20855900/ UPDATES AND HAPPENINGS  Starting in November, I’ll be producing Enchanted Ecstasy; a weekly 10 to 15-minute podcast where I read adult contemporary romance short stories and erotic poetry written by yours truly for my #Patreon patrons.

This episode is one of three parts where Ella discusses the importance of listening to what the mind wants you to #kNOw about sex.  She explains the Sexual Response Cycle, negative mind chatter, and how the mind and physical body work together to protect the emotional and spiritual bodies. *** WARNING *** This episode does contain adult content and language. You may want to listen with earbuds if children under the age of 18 will be present. Key Points: Sexual Response Cycle--the sequence of physical and emotional changes that occur as a person becomes sexually aroused Four phases of the SRC--Excitement. Plateau. Orgasm. Resolution. Adrenaline causes an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and works by causing less important blood vessels to constrict and increasing blood flow to larger muscles Dopamine is responsible for reward-driven behavior and pleasure-seeking.  Oxytocin is a hormone directly linked to human bonding and increasing trust and loyalty. Marie Geonet and colleagues recently concluded that negative thoughts play a key role in women’s sexual dysfunction: They distract women from erotic stimulation, produce anxiety and guilt, and diminish sexual arousal and pleasure.  Negative mind chatter is the number reason NET destroys the plateau phase and obliterates the ability for a woman to reach the orgasm phase.

What is internal conflict? Internal conflict is a fight, battle, a war taking place inside of a person.  Many of these types of conflicts arise when a person has a choice to make between what is perceived as right and what is right for them. Who decides what's right for you? That you is the Earthbound Greedy Ogre; also known as the E.G.O. (Does. Not. Matter.) Your Beast is the part of you most connected to the Universe.  The part in constant communication with who created and works to give you the desires of your heart.  She. Does. Matter.  She wants what is right for the path she and the Universe have placed you on to fulfill your purpose… your work. (She. Is. Infinite.) The Universe wants what your Beast and She have planned for your life. She wants what is going to create a large enough pocket of order to allow those who aren’t connected to Her, to find their way back. (Lives. In. Present.)
