When I assume that an obstacle is something I can move beyond–and also something that may point to what needs my attention, something that may keep me from veering off track, something that may lead me to the ultimate option or solution–then I don’t feel discouraged.
I feel grateful … and I use the gift, instead of resisting it.
Today, I am very grateful. … More
When you’re sorry, say it out loud. When you feel gratitude, express it. When you have a compliment, pay it. When you have a concern, share it.
Speak your truth; and you speak your heart. You let your partner know you. You grow intimacy.
And without intimacy, passion lives a very short life.… More
Dear Friends,
I so appreciate grace! The other day a friend seemed to lash out at me on Facebook. I didn’t personalize it or feel defensive, knowing in my heart it wasn’t about me. I said nothing.
But then another friend, one I’ve never meant made a post to my group page. And it was clearly more than a coincidence. I couldn’t have conjured up a more perfect response.
God covered any doubt in my mind before I even had a chance to go there. He knows I’m open to soul searching and learning from criticism.
But I’m thinking he also knows that sometimes we just have more important work than dissecting criticism.
Grace is a beautiful thing. And it’s always there. Let’s not waste our time reacting defensively.
With a grateful heart, for you and grace,… More
If the only way to be happy is to be true to yourself, what we really want to talk about is getting to know the self! And when we say it that way, we recognize the enormity of the task.
“The essence of knowledge is self-knowledge,” said the Greek philosopher Plato.
“Know thyself,” is accepted as the corner stone on which the temples of philosophy were erected; and without the corner stone, all other knowing crumbles. It is the quest that has traveled with man from the launching of a soul until the present day. It has, from the beginning, transcended continent, race, culture, and tradition. But if the sages of every age have sought the knowing, only for the next generation to seek it again, how can we have the audacity to take on the task. How can we not?
The knowing is not knowledge that can be passed on. The knowing is uncovered only in the process of seeking it. No man has rights to it; yet all men have the right to pursue it. And so, we must seek it.
How? Face the mirror. Face the expressions formed on other faces when they encounter yours. Face the pain of looking inward that you are tempted to avoid.… More
Knowing that I have a Godseed within me, I will love myself well today. I will be me, with a quiet assurance that I am enough.
And knowing that every human being has a Godseed, I will love them well. In doing so, perhaps I will offer them a safe place to be who they are.
Our Godseed is our heaven in earth … on earth.… More
Hiding something keeps more than rejection at bay. It keeps self-love, as well as intimacy, at bay. Risk rejection for the love you want.
When you have it, rejection won’t phase you. You’ll still love yourself. … More
