April 5, 2025



This morning...


An early nature walk in the back yard.
The cold wet grass under my bare feet.
A week of rain that has kept me in. Reflecting. Slow. Still.
The feeling that I've been chasing the light at 
the end of the tunnel for so long...,
 and finally taking my first steps out of the tunnel. Can't find the word.
Delivered? Renewed? Restored? Grace?
*deep breath*
Meditating prayers of thanks, praise...and being moved to tears.
Opening my eyes to a Red winged black bird.
Believing God is in everything...and gives me little signs along the way.
Google the symbolism...
Positive change, transformation & new beginnings.
Inner strength.
Compassion & love.
Spiritual growth.

Yes. That feeling.

A call from my stepdad back home. Just checking in.
 Laughing about life.
The fly that won't leave me alone...and being totally unbothered by it.
Acceptance.
Living in the moment.
Contented.
Calm.
Grateful.

Journal notes...

"Don't waste energy wondering whether you are adequate 
for todays journey."

'Relying on God's sufficiency is your strength.'

In quietness and trust is your strength.

"Do not be conformed to this world, 
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

The world tries to squeeze you into its mold.

'God points you gently and convicts you clearly-
showing you where you need to make changes &
help you develop new attitudes.'

"...a return to inner peace. 
We're not asking for something outside us to change,
but for something inside us to change."

'The way life unfolds is good, 
even when it hurts.'

"Be astounded at the relief that comes once you
stop assuming you have all the answers."


be well...
xoxo

"Lose your inhibition,
follow your intuition,
free your inner soul,
and break away from tradition."
