Living Guidance
This year my husband and I made a vow to invite spaciousness into our days and weeks (minding our schedule, daily meditation, listening to our own desires). Last year was so full, so very intense that we all but crawled into 2016. We declared January is for napping. As we moved back into our busy days and weeks I began to feel concern that we were going down the road of busy and exhaustion once more so I sought guidance from Holy Spirit. Me: I am feeling apprehensive in betting busy again. How will the busyness feel and how will we manage our health (& well being)? Can we be both...
Read More11. Day 15: A Mighty Peace
I read today these known words in a book I randomly picked up off my bookshelf: “If thou canst but believe; all things are possible to him who believes.” It is the crux of opening up to success of any kind. And it bloody annoys me. It stirs up in me anger, hurt and shame because I again wonder, “Why and how could I have forgotten who and what I am?” This is what is being forgiven in my extending love to the fear of success. This deep angry, annoyed, entitled shame. Shame, not that I allowed the forgetting, but that I am caught out. I could not outwit,...
Read More11. Day 12: Awareness By-The-Measure
I finally came across the best reason I have ever heard for measuring goals. I seem to be one of those people who equate measuring with judging. It might have stemmed from always being the last person picked for the team for athletic pursuits and the first person picked to lead an academic squad or entertainment committee. Measuring, in my mind, must inevitably lead to judging something better or worse, less or more, good or bad. So I have always resisted measuring of any kind. When the recipe calls for a half a cup of cheese I just scoop out “some” cheese and think...
Read More5. Day 29: Do You Have EVERY DAY Awareness?
One thing I have noticed in my extending love to my old fear of EVERY DAY is that I have strengthened my awareness of my awareness. I know that sounds like double talk but I believe I actually am and have Awareness all the time. It might even be what I call Holy Spirit or at least it is how I connect to Holy Spirit (or Consciousness or the Universe or Divine MInd). In strengthening my awareness of the Awareness I am becoming attuned to my walk of holiness that unfolds EVERY DAY. I sense the ever presence of that undefined something that always IS, no matter what I think, say or do. You...
Read More5. Day 20: Honesty Is The Hot Seat
I have a bone to pick with honesty. Though it is lauded as a very helpful quality it completely alludes me as an avenue of peace. At least in the short term. I had an incident happen recently where I was asked a very simple question which immediately split me into two thoughts: 1) what I want to do & 2) what I think I should do. My dishonest answer was inevitable because I was seeing with double vision, which is worse than total blindness, as with double vision you actually think you can see twice as good. This ended with hurting the very person I wished to NOT hurt in any way....
