12. Day 3: Feeling; The Divine Mother Lode

Eva Lisle — Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:30:10 +0000

Holy Friend, Thank you for this time, this morning. Help me hear and abide in that place of quiet where words are not needed for feeling communicates as completely (if not more so). I am able to go within and know your Voice, hear guidance, truth and get clarity. But perhaps there is a deeper place of the abundance that Love is that can only be accessed and inhabited with the thing we call…

11. Day 2: The Language Of Success

Eva Lisle — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 13:09:07 +0000

I am at the “just noticing” stage of my fear of success. One of the things that drew my attention was the language of success. The words you use to describe success, the attitude behind success or the results of success all have a familiar ring. There are certain qualities we tend to think of when we contemplate success, either our own or another’s. It is not just a goal has been met (though…

10. Day 4: Fear Of Fear Itself?

Eva Lisle — Mon, 05 Jan 2015 00:22:57 +0000

My daughter brought me to a standstill one day in London when I was saying that I was afraid of riding the incredibly long escalator in the Underground. She said “You are afraid. Full stop. You don’t need to add “of what”.” Oh. I always kind of thought the “of” rather justified and explained the fear. I suppose that it isn’t really necessary to define the how and why of the fear.

9. Day 3: Joy Is Ordinary, Ordinary Is Joy

Eva Lisle — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 13:02:39 +0000

I have a feeling that joy is quite connected to the ordinary. Can you tell me/show me what is meant by being ordinary? HS: Dearest One, the practice of ordinary is the practice of noticing, allowing and being what is true about you all the time. Ordinary is what is always true, no exceptions. Ordinary is the rock upon which you build your life. Ordinary is what the universe is.

9. Day 2: Joy Sings

Eva Lisle — Tue, 02 Dec 2014 13:50:47 +0000

This new month of extending love that I may experience joy is unfolding already with the unexpected. We are staying this week with a dear friend in Norwich who drove us all home from a meeting in London yesterday (2 1/2 hours on the M5). It was a grand and long day that was not yet finished when we finally arrived in Norwich. We went directly to choir practice. I haven’t sung in a choir since I…

9. Day 1: A Month Of Living Joy

Eva Lisle — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 19:09:57 +0000

After a number of epic traveling days which included a rugby match at Twickenham, an advent feast in the Cotswolds with old army friends and a day of networking with the fantastic team at BNI UK headquarters I needed to hear the Holy Spirit on a deep level. Me: What do I need to know right now in my travels? HS: Dearest One, Welcome to your day and living joy. Traveling is a bountiful way…

8. Day 1: Not-Knowing Feels Vulnerable

Eva Lisle — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 12:17:12 +0000

After an epic month of honesty it is time for quiet of a different flavor. Now it is time to open up to a new month’s focus of extending love. What is coming to me is extending love to not-knowing. There are so many things (to infinity really) I don’t know. I strive, struggle, hope for, wheedle, beg, demand, need …….TO KNOW. I have always wanted to know ‘why’ and ‘how’ and ‘who’…

7. Day 1: Dear (Me) In The Headlights Of Honesty

Eva Lisle — Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:11:46 +0000

Whoa! As I keep walking this path of a twelvemonth of self love, the fear of honesty just appeared on my radar. I feel like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming coal truck. This must be what I most need to extend love to next because my heart clenched and I thought “NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo………..” and then I thought “But I AM honest, aren’t I??!” Holy heck, my heart is racing and I…

6. Day 1: Maya Angelou, Jerry Lee Lewis & Me

Eva Lisle — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 12:09:48 +0000

In my recent post Tiredness Is A Tunnel To Truth I wrote of my ever present companion tiredness. I have been noticing how often I say or think “I’m tired” or “I am exhausted” or the after-hours version “I’m pooped” or knackered, without oxygen, dead, flat or fried. It is all some version of *NOT* living in light, abundance and joy. As I neared the end of my month of extending love to EVERY DAY…

5. Day 2: Walking A Mile In My Own Shoes

Eva Lisle — Sat, 02 Aug 2014 12:08:26 +0000

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…
