Alexandra,
First of all I'd say that I am one of the least 'airy-fairy' people you could meet. I have both of my feet firmly on the ground and do not take things at face value.
As far as I'm aware I've never been in a fairy closet to begin with and have no intention of stepping into one either, as I enjoy my life very much as it is.
In no way have I said that I believe that there is only positive things in life, not sure where you got that from. I am fully aware of what's going on in my own life as well as in the world.
When it comes to 'make lemonade out of lemons', I'd say I must have made lots of lemonade through the years then, considering not only my personal life with friends and family, but also through my work where I deal with many clients that have gone through horrific experiences, like child molestation, rape, physical abuse... you name it.
I truly do not believe that my clients would come back to me time after time if I wasn't 'empathising and helping them get back on their feet'.
And, if I couldn't be there for another person in need, then I wouldn't be in the profession I am.
You asked me to explain what I meant with focusing on the positive aspects in life, instead of putting all focus on the negative stuff, and the way I read your question it came across as you had no idea what that meant at all, thus my respons.
Re: desire to be with all that is, I couldn't agree more Alexandra, seems like you learnt quite a bit in
your closet.

However, I do believe that we create/co-create our own reality.
