Life is full....

....of obstacles

and we get to choose our paths.

"Almost everything we do is by choice.

Whether we choose the right path depends on

our outlook and ability to right the course

if it seems wrong.

When faced with a decision, take some time to tap

into your intuition and find your inner compass.

You already know the answer, it lies deep within

you. 

Listen closely and your soul will speak it's truth."

notes....

the kids made it home early this morning

welcomed back by happy pets....

flickering lights & a crackling electrical outlet.

Thank God...they got home safe, 

when they did...

and

 for a kiddo that's learned to fix about anything on his own.

I made it home too.

Some good news & bad news.

Emotions are up and down for good reason.

Finding my center....

a yellow leaf falls & lands on my foot...

I open my devotional to a feather,

and the Blue-jay flies in squawking up a storm....

at the end of the day

these are what I get from those little signs...

yellow: intellect, caution, danger, betrayal

grey feather: balance, transition

Blue-jay: courage, strength, and protection

~

still your mind in the quiet

meditate

be conscious of each choice point during the day

you will never find security by trying

to anticipate all of the storms

instead of  wasting time worrying

talk with God about everything that concerns you

make better and healthier choices for yourself

remove all thoughts and feelings that are not

aligned with love, truth, power

just because you have a thought 

doesn't mean you have to agree with it

turn away from thinking that has become weedy

(resentment, unworthiness, bitterness, rejection...)

the areas where you are vulnerable 

are the areas where God is working

no blame

no shame

just recognition

moment by moment choose rightly

open your heart to receive God's Love

'it's okay that you're not okay

He accepts you right where you are in you junk

He loves you not because you are doing well

He loves you because He loves you'

be well...

xoxo

"A thought is an idea, a premise, a conviction that determines

how you do, what you do, when you do it, if you do it."

~Bishop T.D. Jakes

" A lonely day is God's way of saying that He wants to spend

some quality time with you."

"Don't waste your time and energy trying to convince

people to value you. If you have to fight for their attention

and respect, it's time to move on."
