Day 31: Letter To My (Beloved) Readers https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/12-day-31-letter-to-my-beloved-readers/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/12-day-31-letter-to-my-beloved-readers/#comments Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:45:08 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=4791 Dear Ones, Thank you so much for going on this Twelvemonth journey with me. 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...

This quote is perfect for me as I finish up my Twelvemonth and actually not a bad way to look at each and every day now that I think about it. How lovely would it be to look at each new day...

Day 29: Witness The Dawn https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/12-day-29-witness-the-dawn/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/12-day-29-witness-the-dawn/#respond Sun, 29 Mar 2015 14:06:46 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=4767 I can feel the realigning of focus within me. 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...

Day 28: Twelve Fears Later… https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/12-day-28-twelve-fears-later/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/12-day-28-twelve-fears-later/#comments Sat, 28 Mar 2015 14:57:07 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=4748 It is time to talk about my thoughts and feelings of having blogged daily for a whole year (that’s 365 days!). 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’d call it Spirit-lag but somehow that makes it sound like Spirit is lagging behind me, late or otherwise occupied when it is most likely me who is late or otherwise occupied. In the geological sense Spirit IS instantaneous...

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 what is present underneath all that you are thinking, seeing, noticing. It is that animal of light that shines warmth on your belly and releases a thousand, thousand butterflies into your chest. This presence of “more” is a live currant running through every cell of your body, not just nerve endings in your fingertips and gut. Feeling can thrash you, uplift you...

It will take awhile to fully digest all I learned from the Writer’s Conference. You know the feeling of standing there with a thimble in front of a fire hose trying to get what you think you need. I ended up just letting the...

It is chilly here; I had to dig my scarf and gloves out to put on while waiting for the hotel shuttle. It has been a long day but I have been guided, as directed, by “the kindness in their eyes”. I simply followed the path to which ever face held the eyes of love. And do you know what? No two faces were the same but their eyes told the story of kindness and...
