12. Day 16: This Glorious Process
I am nearing the end of my Twelvemonth. 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 shapes and colors but not the details. I asked Holy Spirit what I needed to know at this time as I move toward completion of this particular phase of the Twelvemonth of Self Love project....

Years ago in one of the earliest spoof films called “Flying High” (maybe called “Airplane” in the USA) there was a character that throughout the film would be in various states of becoming stressed and disheveled and say “I picked a bad week to give up drinking/smoking/glue sniffing”. It just get getting crazier each time he showed up. I feel a lot like that with this month of extending love to the fear of Feeling(s). I picked a bad month to extend love to feelings. This is also the month we are on a detox (ie sans wheat, dairy, sugar, alcohol). It is...
Read More11. Day 28: Success Is Always An Option
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? The thing I have learned about success by uncovering my eyes and looking at it is that success is. Success is just like Love is or God is or I am. Success is a part of me, of life, of this...

Yesterday was a day of feeling. 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 left is your true self. I have one friend who I have known since high school, only just now coming to consciousness after four days post an unscheduled heart bypass surgery. At the same time my...
Read More11. Day 7: 10 Things I Love About Me
One of the benefits of writing a daily blog is that I don’t need to put so much pressure on myself over the content/value/importance of each and every post. 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 a huge success. (Is this what I was really afraid of? Finding out I am already a success???). I showed up every day. Even the two or three days that I double posted or made one post...
