Fear of Honesty – A Twelvemonth of Self Love

7. Day 31: Love Loves Tricks AND Treats!

Eva Lisle — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:43:02 +0000

What a fabulous day to conclude my month of extending love to honesty! All Hallow’s Eve. I feel both hallowed by gratitude and hollowed out like a pumpkin after getting up close and personal with honesty. I kind of hate to admit it hasn’t been as scary as I thought it would be to be honest and to welcome honesty in others. Before, I was like a kid who’d run up to the door and ring the bell but was...

7. Day 30: Judgment Can Come Too

Eva Lisle — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 12:23:20 +0000

I had a docent training yesterday that left my head spinning. It went so long I was in traffic I normally miss so got the opportunity to sit quietly with my thoughts on the drive home. My thoughts were like a group of 5th graders after indulging in the Halloween treats offered at the class party; rowdy, tired, hyped up on sugar and had no way to expend the energy. Because I am extending honesty...

7. Day 29: Is Your Gratitude Honest?

Eva Lisle — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 12:42:47 +0000

How does honesty jibe with gratitude? I have always been a very grateful person. I notice and give thanks for all I have; family, home, businesses, Love, friends, freedom etc. But I have not always extended gratitude for pain, or discomfort or apparent lack. I certainly have not extended gratitude for the pain or terror or loss experienced by those I love. So how do honesty and gratitude work...

7. Day 28: How Can I Include Myself (Right Now)?

Eva Lisle — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 12:27:30 +0000

I asked Holy Spirit how I can include even the fearful parts of ourselves in the wedding preparations. No matter how surrounded from within and without by love I am, thoughts of fear or discord or annoyance come up in an attempt to steal the moment from joy. Me: How best can I include all parts of myself in preparations for the wedding and allow for calm, delight and focused energy? HS: You set...

7. Day 27: Guess Who’s In The Wedding Party?

Eva Lisle — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:59:48 +0000

I found myself sitting at the dining table with my daughter and a dear friend (who also just happens to be a wedding & event planner;) purportedly brainstorming about the wedding but actually getting a crash course in honesty. Who doesn’t love those early days of planning a big event? It is a time when dreams run wild and all is possible. What was different here is that I had also invited honesty.

7. Day 26: Not A Parlor Trick

Eva Lisle — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 12:09:42 +0000

I am sitting here in the awareness of honesty. I asked Holy Spirit what do I need to know right now about honesty that I might go even deeper. HS: Dearest One, Honesty is not a parlor trick. It isn’t “that thing you do” when you want a different outcome. Honesty is that practice of willingness to go within and ask. That is all. Honesty is efficient because Love knows only efficiency.

7. Day 24: The Reveal

Eva Lisle — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 12:24:18 +0000

I have noticed that honesty does not usually work alone. There is an expression of quiet, sometimes nearly imperceptible, when we go within and let honesty reveal itself. Honesty reveals what is already present. Why am I so afraid to have what is already present revealed? I mean, if it is already present, what more can happen if I just notice this? Am I afraid more will be asked of me that I do...

7. Day 23: The Wedding Practice

Eva Lisle — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:33:30 +0000

Earlier this month I explored 100 Ways To Be Aware Of Honesty with Holy Spirit. I keep returning to this list for inspiration, guidance, and to see how far my awareness has come in just a few weeks. What jumps out at me today is how it was a revelation that I could encourage, allow and welcome honesty in others by being honest with myself. I didn’t realize my own hesitation to be honest with...

7. Day 22: WE Are Worth Celebrating

Eva Lisle — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 12:38:19 +0000

I am loving how Holy Spirit is speaking to my heart with these lists of “100 Reasons Why”. I was simply writing a card to go into a goodie bag to give my daughter and her fiance` (I love saying this;) to take on a cross country trip they were making. The list just spilled out my delight, my tender love and the joy I shared in their beginning adventure. I love how honest the Holy Spirit is here.
