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 that...

9. Day 8: Let Your Joy Be Whole

Eva Lisle — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 21:08:49 +0000

I must confess that I feel a bit naughty or selfish even choosing joy, or living joy. I mean, there is still so much pain and suffering in the world at large and even in my local vision (the homeless man outside the SPA Grocery selling a magazine). Why do I get to be full of joy if there is still pain? This has actually been a question that has plagued me in many ways for years. Why do I get the...

7. Day 10: The Being Well

Eva Lisle — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 12:36:10 +0000

My own sense of WELL-BEING comes from drinking deeply and diving into the BEING WELL. When I am down, tired, fractious or just feeling less-than in any way. I must go within and extend the love that I am. I can go to that well of love that I am and drink deeply. I can breathe deeply and dive in fully. This is my restoration and reminder. This is truly who and what I am. Any kindness I have every...

6. Day 11: The [unintended] Gift of Terrorism

Eva Lisle — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 12:11:16 +0000

The gift of terrorism is that the horror must be faced. In its immediate aftermath there is a tear in the fabric of society and its dogmas, rules and perspective that is rent clean open. Through that rent a great gust of honesty bellows through and we all come face to face with what IS whether we like it or not. When the attacks on September 11, 2001 occurred a great honesty was unleashed across...

5. Day 5: What’s Love Got To Do With War?

Eva Lisle — Tue, 05 Aug 2014 12:08:20 +0000

Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the day Britain’s involvement in World War I began. From this distance we are able to comment, commemorate, honor and remember all that each one experienced during that war. I spoke yesterday of feeling somewhat overwhelmed at what felt like “once in a lifetime” experiences. The Great War, WWI, was thought to be a once in a lifetime experience.

3. Day 30: Veil Sale

Eva Lisle — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 12:06:33 +0000

Today is the last day of extending love to guilt for this month three of my Twelvemonth of Self Love project. What is exceedingly obvious now is that guilt is not the truth about me. It is but a story of “not-me” I believe for a while until I return to my right mind, or sanity or the awareness of God-is-Love’s Presence. I have learned I can drop the veil of guilt at any time and experience the...

3. Day 16: All Aspects Of Love Are Needed

Eva Lisle — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 12:08:05 +0000

Yesterday we talked about what guilt felt like. I want to know now, how to greet this fear in love? Where do I even start? HS: As always dear One, start where you are. Extend a quality or flavor of love to your body, your feelings, the moment. Notice if your feelings or thoughts can be clarified or do they remain wordless or nebulous. All this really does is give you time...

3. Day 7: Ancient Bank Account of Should

Eva Lisle — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 12:34:07 +0000

Am I the only one who is feeling the enormity of extending love to guilt? Where do I begin? how do I proceed? HS: Dearest One, Guilt is not nearly as complicated as you believe. Guilt is a long term, ancient bank account of should. You have been making deposits into this account from before your birth. Guilt firmly believes something should not happen or be: a crime, a thought, an omission...

1. Day 28: Worthy is the Lamb

Eva Lisle — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 05:00:04 +0000

Holy Spirit, yesterday felt like a car crash: the speed of business meets the intensity of desire for close family time. In this moment I am bloody annoyed; at commitment, at life, at myself. This thought just in from a brief sojourn in the bathroom (isn’t it always the way): I feel like something is being asked of me that I don’t want to do/give/be. What do I think is expected of me?
