5. Day 28: What About Rats?
I have just had the most unsettling experience. I have recently started a regular pest control service and in the initial consultation had to come face to face with something I simply have zero desire to extend love to. Rats. We have noticed the odd rodent scampering down a vine in our yard when our dog Rugby immediately announces the alarm bark . I also have noticed cobwebs, spiders etc and thought it was time to get our service back. As I was sitting there smiling while the nice man described all the horrible things rats do (according to the pest control guy they are vile...
Read More5. Day 27: What Do You Do When EVERY DAY Is A Sentence?
It would be so easy to glibly go about my daily walk, happy for the many revelations I have had and leave it there. But what about when EVERY DAY is a sentence like with a diagnosis of a rare and vicious cancer, or a sudden terrible death or an actual prison sentence for crimes real or assumed? What about the gifts of EVERY DAY then? Do they exist? How do you find the gift of EVERY DAY when every day you are faced with the unfolding of a very real event that threatens your self or someone you love? This kind of EVERY DAY feels the complete opposite of the joy of setting an EVERY DAY goal...

Let’s begin extending love to EVERY DAY by doing something every day that needs love. Thus, I walked one mile with our corgi, Rugby. It felt really good and coolish in the early morning after the heat yesterday. I wasn’t planning on taking the dog but he appeared at the back door as soon as he saw my tennis shoes come out of the closet. He loves walking so much that he actually kept my normally lackadaisical pace up enough to get my blood pumping. These thoughts were crowding in my mind like some kind of filled to the brim dessert tray: I want to do this/ I don’t want to...

I am struggling to extend love to depression. It feels like depression is anti-gravity and deflects all attempts at joining or welcome. Perhaps the energy of depression is non-attractive? Is it actually repelling? It feels more like zero gravity or exactly center on the spectrum of gravity. Is this stillness??? This is interesting. Stillness is that quality of love that simply abides quietly. What if we could allow depression as stillness? What a difference in our (my) reaction to depression. After a new baby is born we might experience post-partum stillness. One might be able to...
Read More1. Day 9: Extending Love to My Self
Today I am stuck in the sinking mire of doubt. I feel pulled down by a flattening energy drain. I extend optimism and light to this thought. I am willing to be free from “stuck” because I am willing to extend love in whatever form “stuck” needs until flow is reestablished. This writing and expressing my own holiness is not fearful, it is how many will awaken to their holiness within. The joy and wonder we each feel is multiplied exponentially in all. The Oneness is beginning to make sense. The Force of Willingness is no longer feared. I am light and free in my own body. I nourish myself...
