Weekly Journal Dump


'...and if you touch any heart with what you do for the brief
moment you are here, that's enough.'

Blondie 💖


Journal lately...

Your only role is to serve with as much love as possible.
The rest is God's.

Life has a way of testing what we're made of.

"You will be astounded at the relief that comes
once you stop assuming you have all the answers."

Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze
directly before you.
Proverbs 4:25 

Don't let the path of other peoples lives 
make you second guess your own.

Release the noose of public opinion.

'Steel your resolve by knowing what you believe &
why you believe it, then activate what you are going
to do about it.'

Quit playing it safe & don't play it scared.
Be strong & courageous today.

Follow the natural pull. It's trying to tell you something.

Put your energy where you want to see growth.
Eventually something will align.

Finding your path belongs only to you.
No one else knows where you're supposed to go.

Go and find out more about the activities that pull 
on your heart.

"The pain might be a sign of progress, 
and if we stick with love long enough, 
we'll find out the fruit of it is life."

"To live a life you love, you must do what you love.
And you can't choose what you love, 
you can only discover it."

'Disconnect from the ideas that limit you.
Open your mind to new possibilities.
You are capable of more than you ever imagined.'

Your grumbly-self, is a sign of a victim mind-set.

'Mindfulness helps us to let go of the story,
and shift from "bad things happen to me",
to "things are happening".'
~Think Like a Monk~

'Try to depend on the Spirit as you go through this day.'

'Faith is being sure of what we hope for &
certain of what we do not see.'
~Hebrews 11:1~

'By letting go of the "story", we are leaving behind an old world.
We no longer define ourselves by the traumatic event(s),
but instead by the love that freed us from it.'

"God approached us with arms open wide, asking nothing
in return, so we could show that same love to people around us."

Be mindful of why you're doing whatever you're doing &
how you react.
"Being mean won't fix insecurity - it highlights it."
Communicate love, patience, and understanding.
Smile. Hug. Listen.

"I'm not going to die because I failed as someone else.
I'd rather just succeed at being me."

be well...

"You cannot change the past. It is done. Leave it behind you,
rather than allowing it to anchor you in place and keep
you from moving forward.
There is hope in looking forward and freedom in 
letting go.
You deserve to have both."

"Whether our psychic pain is in the area
of relationships, health, career, or elsewhere,
love is a potent force,
the cure,
the Answer."

"Hugs heal your gut-brain connection.

Cuddles and a good chat increase oxytocin,
nurturing gut bacteria that tell
your nervous system that you are safe...
...lowering inflammation and anxiety.
This is your sign to fix your hug deficiency."
~Dr. Will Cole~

Mind Over Medicine

Revisiting some speakers and topics from
The Institute of Integrative Nutrition course.
Lissa Rankin was one of my favorites.
(you can find more videos on YouTube)


Learning to calm my nervous system has been a huge
game changer for me.
We can't heal (or lower our blood sugar) if we are stressed.

be well...

'...and when she owns her true energy,
the earth itself will breathe a long, deep sigh...
of relief.'

 

"Life is easier and more enjoyable when we allow it to flow.
Resistance blocks the flow in our lives.
When we resist, what is meant to be leave stays
and what is meant to arrive is blocked.
Notice any areas where you may feel resistant or stuck.
Visualize removing that block,
and letting the good flow in and the bad flow out.
Become open by releasing the need to control.
Allow wonderful things to come to you."
~Sunrise Gratitude~

"Watch now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness."
~Mary Oliver~

"We cannot know the whole truth,
which belongs to God alone,
but our task nevertheless is to 
seek to know what is true."
~ Wendell Berry~

"It's a goodly life that you lead, friend;
no doubt the best in the world,
if only you are strong enough to lead it."
