Self Love | A Twelvemonth of Self Love

I Am No Fool (& neither are YOU)

Eva Lisle — Sat, 01 Apr 2017 19:39:42 +0000

It is April Fools Day and I want to declare in front of God and everybody that I am Eva and I am a FOOL for LOVE! (“Hi Eva!!” I hear my AA friends murmuring from the audience). I have not posted here for many months, which of course does not mean I haven’t been writing, extending love to my thoughts, life, schedule, and strengthening my own health. I was reminded via Facebook’s “On This Day” that…

A Course of Love

Eva Lisle — Wed, 23 Mar 2016 22:36:37 +0000

Late last year, smack dab in the middle of the wedding hubbub I came across a breathtaking spiritual text I couldn’t get enough of. It was as if I had found a new translation of the Bible, I had never dared believe existed. This text, these words, this book straight from the heart of Jesus into my own (bedraggled, exhausted, hurried) heart was indeed the salvation I had asked for.

“The January Nap: A Case for Self Love”

Eva Lisle — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 00:43:23 +0000

Through the months of visitors, year end business and the preparation for my daughter’s wedding when I thought I would expire trying to do seventeen-things-at-once I would promise myself this “I will nap the entire month of January”. I regularly began my days at 4am just to get some quiet time before the day erupted in activity and the dance of decision, what held me together was the lure of…

A Mantra for One

Eva Lisle — Sat, 25 Jul 2015 02:01:45 +0000

My commitment to daily Twelvemonth postings concluded in April of this year and, not surprisingly, life has continued unabated to the point that I look back in utter wonder at my accomplishment of 365 days of daily blog postings. Here is what I am learning about myself three months out since that mammoth commitment of extending love to my fears, my self and my experience and blogging about this…

The Self Discipline of Desire

Eva Lisle — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 23:20:12 +0000

I was speaking to a friend recently who praised the self discipline of my having blogged daily for a year. I was a bit taken aback as it didn’t feel like self discipline at all. I write and extend love to my thoughts because I want to. Afterwards, this phrase floated into view: the self discipline of desire. I took it into my quiet time this morning to ask Holy Spirit more about this. Me…

But Not Without Self Love

Eva Lisle — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 21:28:02 +0000

It is dawning on me now, that self love is the big leagues in the game of Life and Love. We can love our children, our neighbor, the flag, our country, our spouse, our house. We can love chocolate, green grass, cherry pie, clean sheets and of course our dogs and cats (and gerbils, elephants and the snake that kitty keeps bringing into the house). But without self love the circle is not yet…
