It made a difference, a REAL difference to me, to my heart, to my awareness and to my walk with Holy Spirit in this wild and wooly world. I have honestly loved every post, journal entry and quiet time I have devoted to extending love to my epic fears. And do you know what? It wasn’t nearly as fearful as I thought it would...

I don’t yet really know what my writing and practice will look like on a daily basis but I feel excited rather than worried; delighted rather than fearful. This is a huge shift from last year at this time when I was feeling the uncertainty of transition and my committed practice of self love and blog felt like such a crazy leap in the dark. I mean...

Yes, I officially made my first blog post on March 25, 2014 (in the middle of a trip to my nephew’s wedding in Nashville). Extending love to my epic fears is something I could have done privately without the added work of cataloguing my experience. I could have just felt the difference...

I must actually, consciously choose love. Why isn’t it completely automatic? Why do fears still arise? Fear must be a wake up call, a rubber band around my wrist I...

It is one of those perfectly timed opportunities to move forward in a new way with my writing and my feelings about it are swirling. Mostly, I feel hopeful, ready and delighted to be going. The other feelings of “WHAT?! It’s this weekend??? I’m not ready!!!” and the giddiness of a churning excitement...

I began posting April 1, 2014; April Fool’s Day just seemed the perfect place to begin. I know I have many projects, writing and otherwise that will come forth in the coming months. I know I will continue posting but as yet do not have an idea of exactly how much or what it will look like. It is like looking at a very soft focus photograph, I can see the...

It just get getting crazier each time he showed up. I feel a lot like that with this month of extending love to...

Day 28: Success Is Always An Option https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/11-day-28-success-is-always-an-option/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/11-day-28-success-is-always-an-option/#respond Sat, 28 Feb 2015 13:47:56 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=4308 I must admit, here at the end of the month of extending love to the fear of success that I have little to report except the obvious. Failure is never final. Success is ALWAYS an option. I know. You already knew that. It’s like saying the Crown Jewels are breathtaking. But why?? Why is success always an option? There are times that failure is death or catastrophic mess or pain, what then?

Or rather trying to keep down feelings like someone on board a boat tries to keep lunch down while coursing over the heavy chop. The feelings leak out of course as eventually lunch does when seasickness overtakes. It is inconvenient, messy and leaves you feeling drained. Perhaps that is the true purpose of feelings, to drain you of what is not you until all that is...

This is eerily mimicking daily life. If I notice my life as a whole, any single day is just a part of something whole and beautiful and powerful. When I look at the blog as a whole, it (and by association the writer, um, that’s me) is already...
