Self-assured

So, I've been giving myself time to simmer,

as I'm discovering and developing

 a path forward that works for me.

Baking class... cinnamon rolls....💛

I mentioned in the past of an opportunity
(for growth).
It was a job working with a sweet kiddo with Autism.
I met the family...their pets, and even their friends.
We took to each other instantly. It was a perfect fit.
However, after much thought and prayer...
I decided to turn it down.
We were all a bit bummed.
(Which led to my funktastic mood in my previous post.)

 Keeping in mind, 
I had plans (as I mentioned as well) for this month,
and it would have taken me way off course.
As life would have it,
God had His own big plans, and my
 course changed direction anyway.
I'm still heading in the same direction,
 but there's been a course correction.
 A "recalculating" moment.
More clarity.
I'm letting it unfold naturally.

In the meantime....
I'm loving:
 This gentle February weather!!
Volunteering at the therapy barn, new horses joining our team,
funny kids, and our new volunteer leader.
Learning high kicks now with my Tai Chi buddies, and
channeling our inner Ninja's.
A chat with the  cashier who told me she thought she had a micro-sleep (& still shaking it off)
while checking out someone's groceries before me....and then 
us adding more to the story, until we doubled over laughing.
Laughter.
Baking class last night. Cinnamon rolls and rolls filled with chocolate ganache...
a group of grown adult ladies with chocolate smeared hands, licking chocolate covered
spoons. Hoots mixed with laughter. 
Joy.
Tea rooms, and a Parakeet named "Sunshine".

And all is well.

be well...

"Living intentionally creates a soulful reason

behind our actions.

When we take the time to zero in on what we want 

and why we want it, 

we can narrow in on our purpose.

Instead of allowing our thoughts to run wild,

focusing shapes our reality.

Wherever our focus goes,

growth can take place.

Creating an intention with focus

will reap rewards. In fact, it may not happen 

exactly as you would envision, but it will happen as it should."

"Sometimes a person has to go back,

really back-

and have a sense of understanding of all that's

gone to make them-

before they can go forward."

"We can own our own power to choose

the path that is right for us."

"Luxury, to me, is not about buying things;

It's about living in a way where you 

appreciate things."

"Hold your course and don't let go..."

This morning I have the desire to go somewhere.

I'm feeling a pull for Costa Rica...

then I pop back into reality,

and it looks more like shopping for tires,

and touring Walmart.

Who knows...? could be fun.

Journaling...

Don't worry about having it all figured out in advance;

you'll connect the dots as you go.

'Reading in a spiritual way is reading with a 

desire to let God come closer to us.

Not to master knowledge, to let God's 

Spirit master us.'

Keep your eyes open, make a plan, then get busy executing it.

"A do-nothing attitude usually

results in a nothing-done state."

Choose worthwhile ambitions.

Don't busy yourself with things that merely occupy your time.

Are you catching up on everyone else's life,

or exploring and examining yours?

Get clear about what you believe will last in your life.

What helps others & inspires you?

Be energized and grateful, and throw more of your life 

into it.

be well...

"...We too have an inner compass that guides us through

life. If we take the time to listen for the subtle cues

of our intuition, we can learn to trust our instincts

at a deeper level. 

Take a moment to be still and welcome 

the wisdom of your intuition."

"God doesn't usually shout over the noise.

He speaks in the quiet of the present moment.

We've  normalized busyness as success.

Always moving. Always producing.

Always on.

Slowing down is an act of trust in a 

culture that glorifies speed.

Choose presence today."

'Be the woman who doesn't wait anymore.

She booked the flight, took the risks,

hired the coach, and lived a life

Journal notes:

Don't worry about what's around the next bend. 

Be watchful & thankful. 

Pray.

Be wise.

Make the most of every opportunity.

Confront fear by taking a positive step in faith.

A leisurely pace accomplishes more

than hurried striving.

Do not lose your identity as a unique person.

You are who you are.

Retain your freedom and individuality at every turn.

Keep your heart and your eyes open wide enough

to appreciate the synchronicities & magic around you.

"I will reveal the issues that are preventing you from 

accepting My word - the areas where

you refuse to trust Me. 

You may already know, 

because they are constantly causing you trouble.

Acknowledge the rocky places & commit yourself

to applying My truths to your life.

It will be difficult, but it's worthwhile-

this is where your true healing begins."

"An unhealed person can be offended

by just about anything.

A dysregulated nervous system can be triggered

by just about anything.

An unhealthy gut can be flared by just about anything.

What or who triggers you is a pointer

to where there is more healing to do."

Dr. Will Cole

January 20, 2025

Preparing for my 16 weeks of  "Nourishing and nurturing"

my body with Dr. Will Cole's, Autoimmune Reset program.

I will be detoxing at a cellular level. 

I met my lovely coach Kelly this afternoon

and I am excited that I'll be working with her.

Unlike strict programs in the past, this time I will have a wonderful support team

to help me through emotionally, mentally, and physically. 24/7.

Phase one, will take me through 30 days of healing the gut.

It all starts in the morning...

"Living an awesome life is all about making choices

that make your heart sing, and in order to do this,

you must become aware of the choices you've already made.

Pulling back and taking stock of your habits, your

beliefs, your thoughts, your identity, your words,

and your actions is some of the most important work

you can do, because it gets you out of victim mode

and puts you in control of your life."

Journal bits...

Don't try to figure it all out.

Remember it is God who orchestrates your life.

Trust in the twists and turns.

The more you struggle, the more you are relying on 

your own strength rather than His.

God wants to bless you even more than you want to be blessed.

Stop striving and set your heart on Him.

He will lead you to life at it's very best.

Invite God into your circumstances,

and actively place the results in His hands.

'Faith without nerve is dead.'

November 5, 2024

Today the constant swirl of to do's seem to be fading away,

leaving some space for dreams, and creativity.

I have been enjoying some quiet rainy days at home,

reflecting, unpacking and just putzing around the house.

Twinkle lights, candles, books and a cat on my lap.

 Hygge mode.

Today I am thankful for:

Hubby coming by to pick me up so we could go

vote together

My dad. Today is his birthday.💖

Long catch up phone chats with my girlfriends.

It was good to hear their voices after 3 weeks.

The sun peeking out from the clouds, 

and a walk in the woods by the lake.

Hubby picking up Mexican carry out for dinner.

Graduating as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.💞

Finding a quote that I wrote down  from the movie "Dog Gone"

(Netflix)

"You live in a bubble,

eventually you suffocate."

My favorite journal takeaway for today:

Avoid the temptation to doubt yourself.

Be willing to go for what you know, when you know it, 

with or without the company of others.

Happy voting !

Trusting Intuition

"People should be more like animals...

they should be more intuitive;

they should not be too conscious of

what they do while they do it."

~Albert Einstein~

Because sometimes we think we know,

and we really don't.

This morning a letter formed from 10 different daily devotions.

Written as received.

(side note: I'm finishing my coaching course.

I was in the midst of working on my integrative labs,

 when my heart changed direction.

It's a direction that ignited me...

which is why I'm willing to shift my plans.

It's also something new...and I am fighting self-doubt

and fear. 

The way I figure, is I can try and fail, or not try and always wonder.

It's pulling at me.

So I'm going to jump in with both feet (normally I play it safe, and just step with one...).

We'll see where this goes...

I'm going to trust I'll land in the right place. )

"As you become increasingly aware of Me, 

you find it easier to discern the way you should go.

Instead of wondering what is on the road ahead or worrying

about what you should do if...or when...

you can concentrate on staying in communication with Me.

When you actually arrive at a choice-point,

I will show you which direction to go.

I am the most creative Being imaginable.

I will not leave you circling in deeply rutted paths.

I will lead you along fresh trails of adventure,

revealing to you things you did not know.

Stay in communication with Me.

Follow My guidance.

Don't waste precious time wandering when you can 

come directly to Me & seek direction for your life.

The temptation to move forward without receiving direction

from Me may be great because of external pressures that are

very real & stressful.

Remember that I am greater than all the circumstances 

that assail you.

It's of utmost importance that you pause until you 

receive further instruction from Me.

Actively pursue Me, and move toward Me, not the thing you 

are waiting for.

Never fear about whether I have a plan for the next stage of your life.

I won't leave you to guess what I desire of you,

not as long as you're seeking Me.

Remain connected and listen to Me.

Wait actively with great expectation and hope.

I am always by your side, eager to help you-

but sometimes you forget Me.

You are easily distracted by the demands of others.

Turn to Me for help.

Talk to Me about the matters that concern you.

Open your heart to Me.

Allow My blessings to flow freely into you.

Be continually conscious of My nearness.

Be open to new connections.

Opt for the path that enhances your self-esteem.

Your life is a testimony of who you are.

Be aware of how the conditions in your life &

how you live your life demonstrate what you believe 

about yourself.

Trust your gut. 

The next right action, that inner pull, will guide you 

step-by-step the way to go, in the right moment, if you listen.

Let go a little bit. Free yourself up.

Create space to do what truly fulfills you, and live by your own set of values.

I will put the pieces of your life together, and work 

everything out for the good."

~God~

"I will instruct you & teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you with My eye upon you."

Psalm 32:8

"The only journey is the one within."

Nothin’ Sweeter

This week we met with our pastor, and we both had a good "come to Jesus" talk.

It's opened our eyes to some things. We were stuck. We now have direction.

My kiddo is on his way to NY with his girlfriend, and they will be

at Dad's when I fly in Wednesday. I can't wait !!

I've decided to create a personal Health plan for my integrative labs.

I've been working with my own sugar detox, vagus nerve stimulation,

and ways to heal the nervous system with Somatic movement and meditation...

and breath. It's a lot...and I can't pick one thing, so I'm going to go for it all.

 I will figure out how to tie it all together into a program to follow.

That will give me more structure, and make it easier for me to stick with it.

I have been getting creative, and putting together some fall projects.

I want to celebrate new beginnings.

I'm ready to take some leaps and create a better space for me and mine.

Time to transform some of my dreams into reality.

"When a flower doesn't bloom,

you fix the environment it grows in,

not the flower."

a few notes from my journal this week...

The world can be wild and unpredictable,

but you can find humor among the heaviness.

Humor is a simple form of hope.

Seeking our lightness is an essential tool for living a positive life.

You are worthy of life & love & all sorts of other good things.

Come off the head trip of trying to prove your worth to others

to convince yourself.

Always trust where your intuition takes you.

If you can't say something  positive, silence is the best substitute.

It's one thing for others to full you with junk.

It's even worse when you choose to feed yourself

toxic thoughts. 

Speak life & spread joy.

Believe in and experience your own sense of worth,

make decisions that you are worth believing in.

Then tell yourself that.

Gather the awareness, courage, self-love and willingness 

to stop suffering.

Love life in a different way with healthier attitudes & choices.

Use your intellect instead of your emotions,

detach from the person or situation and face your problems 

in a healthier manner.

Attach yourself mentally & verbally to what you do want, such as joy,

peace, fun, prosperity, significance and excellent health.

Cultivate and environment around you that helps you bloom.

Do something that nourishes you right now.

Breathe slowly and deeply.

You may have believed that having a dark side makes you unworthy.

Remember that only stars shine in the darkness.

It is possible to attain whatever it is that you want.

Flow in the moment, find humor & acceptance in even the difficult times.

Adapt to what you cannot change, seeing the gifts in every dilemma.

Show up for life & participate to the best of your ability.

Focus on the real workings of your life, instead of the trappings.

Pray your tail off.

Uncertainty & Trust

I am going through integration labs in my coaching

course. 

It's time for me to choose a destination and start moving 

toward it.

Both in my course, and in my life.

It all goes hand-in-hand.

I'm facing some resistance in certain areas.

Hang-ups, fears, anxiety, uncertainty.

It's all very much on the surface right now.

I have been reminding myself to stay present, breathe,

and remember that trying to control what I 

cannot control is a good way to end up in 

the loony bin.

The way my journal notes formed today.

My Child,

Trust Me enough to let things happen without

striving to predict or control them.

Relax & refresh yourself in My Light & Love.

When you project yourself into the future, rehearsing

what you will do or say you are seeking to be sufficient

without Me.

Live fully in the present depending on Me each moment.

Rather than fear your inadequacy, rejoice in My abundant supply.

Don't divide your life into things you can do alone,

and things that require My help.

Discipline yourself to rely on Me in every situation.

Work on your attitudes, take care of your mind, body and spirit.

Change the things you can.

Accept your powerlessness, put your energy where you can do

some good & surrender to My care.

Don't miss what I am saying.

When you find yourself dwelling on a persistent problem, bring it to Me 

and confess the mental bondage you're experiencing.

Request My help.

I am teaching you to fix your thoughts on Me more & more.

To achieve this goal you need discipline & desire.

It's all there. Everything you need to know. Why you are here,

what you are here to do, & how you must go about accomplishing

every task.

Every experience you have endured or conquered were designed to teach you.

It's all right there in the heart of your soul.

That is where you find My voice.

It will be difficult to hear if you are angry or blaming others.

Spend time listening to your heart. 

Ask for My guidance away from what you no longer need or desire

onto the path you deserve.

Be devoted to renewing your spirit by cleansing your heart.

Life gives endless new beginnings, endless chances to remember who you are.

You can endlessly reinvent yourself. 

Be more accepting, welcome change, and trust the process.

Let go of the need to stay in any unhealthy systems.

Reclaim your inner peace. Stay there.

Be sure in My love.

I have a plan for you.

Trust Me to bring you just what you need to help you become 

closer & closer to the person I created you to be.

Let Me do My part while you do yours.

I will meet all of your needs.

~God~

"The pain is not in the surrender and acceptance.

It is in the resistance."

 

Training Ground

Life has felt a little shifty lately.

I am continuously anchoring in.

We're coming to the end of Summer,

a change in the seasons of our lives,

and I'm nearing the end of my course at

the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

The only thing I can count on is the continuous hope and reassurance

my faith brings me and anchoring into that truth.

This morning, along with the daily letter (to follow) that formed from my devotional

reading and journaling, I also had this video pop up in my feed.

Right on cue.

I've noticed a lot of synchronicity in my life lately.

I thought I'd share.

I hope it brings a little comfort to your day.

Dear Child,

Go gently through this day.

Keep vigilant watch over your heart.

Be picky about your daily inputs,

and be selective in what you choose to expose yourself to. 

Pay close attention to what you hear from Me,

and trust that I will lead you on the right path.

Grab ahold of hope.

You can only work with what you have today.

Don't miss out on the great stuff.

Enjoy the many gifts today has to offer, rather than worry.

Let go of the need to control every detail of your life,

because life will happen whether you control it or not.

How much you enjoy it in the midst of it all is

entirely up to you.

Live life.

You are in good hands.

I love you,

YHWH God

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything flows from it."

Prov. 4:23

"Be confident that you will see My goodness. Wait for Me,

be strong & take heart."

Psalms 27:13-14

be well,

Healing Process

I've been studying self-healing for about 30 years now.

I thought if I read enough books, prayed hard enough, and found the right people,

that somehow healing would just automatically happen.

I would wake up one morning, and all the icky bits, feelings, and triggers, would just

magically disappear. *poof*

Little did I know that old wounds get stored in our cellular memory, and they cause

all kinds of disruptions in our bodies, and minds.

We have to do the work. 

It's an inside job.

I just never knew, until I knew.

I've learned so much this year.

 As always, something new popped into my YouTube feed this week.

I pay attention to the little cues, and am willing to check out any new sources.

Typically it's something random that helps me to understand,

 inspires, validates, or helps me to heal just a little more.

Have I mentioned, that I love this stuff?

xoxo

💖

"One of the most courageous decisions you'll ever make

is to finally let go of what is hurting you heart and soul."

" A strong woman knows she has strength enough for the journey,

but a woman of strength knows it is in the journey where

she will become strong."

"The soul always knows what to do to heal itself.

The challenge is to silence the mind."

"You have to grow from the inside out.

None can teach you, none can make you spiritual.

There is no other teacher but your own soul."

"Healing may not be so much about getting better, as

about letting go of everything that isn't you-

all of the beliefs- and becoming who you are."

Ordinary Day

Yesterday, I would have loved to keep the little one around.  I LOVE ANIMALS!

However my neighbor has chickens, and I LOVE them...& FRESH EGGS too!

For over a week, I've been playing hide and seek with my suet feeder.

I'd fill it, hang it, and the next day or a few days later, I'd search for it.

Sweet little game, but it wouldn't have been so fun if the cutie had tried it with a chicken.

We won't even go there.

Anyway...

 we caught it, took it for a ride, then released it on our favorite spot, (an old home site) at the farm.

 It seemed pretty content. 

I left a little care package of tomatoes and cat food as a housewarming gift.

In hindsight, I wish I'd left a suet block too.

He'll be safer there.

This morning I had an opossum in captivity & released it into it's new home in the country.

Also happy...although he growled as he walked away...

I imagine it was because he didn't receive a parting gift.

 Nothing personal. It was early.

I actually have a tender spot for opossums....

A zillion years ago, my kiddo and I raised baby opossums 

when their mama was killed. 

They were actually quite cuddly and sweet.

Then there was a dog, that just showed up....a happy frenzy of fur.

It appeared to have gotten loose. It was carrying it's own lead in its mouth, like it was taking itself 

for a walk. 

  So I'm reciprocating her affection, and thinking to myself, 'great, I drop off

an opossum, and I'll return home with a dog.

I started to imagine how that would play out.

I could see hubby's face.

Then there was a man that appeared in the distance.

It seemed he was talking to himself, then he looked up and saw me,

and apologized for the happy attack I was under.

"Oh, no! I love dogs !! She's so sweet !"

Apparently she was abandoned a year ago, and he took her in.

He shared his story, and then we parted with...

"Have a beautiful day!"

I began a new module this afternoon, and it was a gorgeous day, 

so I sat out on the porch to study.

This week we are learning about soil, farming, the ecosystem, and how it all 

affects our health.

It is also on our different energies.

I never cease to be excited about this course.

My kiddo worked in town today, and dropped by after work. 

I knew he was coming, so I baked a sugar free almond cake,

that I wanted him to try.

He had a piece, then 2nds, then 3rds.

He said it was AMAZING! 

I gave him extra to take home.

It's so true that the best of days can be found among the

ordinary ones.

My God Can

My heart and mind are bubbling up with an incredible

amount of gratitude, excitement, hope, and thoughts that

I cannot even begin to put into words.

I literally feel like my heart flung it's doors open this morning

during my prayer and meditation time. 

I was so emotional, I had to come in from my nook on the porch,

and seek solitude to process it.

It all started with my 5 AM walk, ( in hindsight, perhaps all week...)

when I felt something stirring within me.

I felt little mutants coming to the surface, and my gut and heart were a little fluttery.

I took note to reflect on them during prayer.

I can't find the words really....or maybe I have too many?

I think this song pretty much says it all.

I looked back and found some notes I wrote at the beginning of the week,

(after some course activities)

 just scribbled on a tiny notebook I keep for 

lists and to do's.

It was a little wordy....

but the last part seems to summarize in a nutshell

what I am having difficulty verbalizing today.

'Healing needs trust, and we may not be healed

in the way we had hoped to be.

However we are healed in the way we need to be.

Trust that you will be OK, even if today looks different

than it did before.

Let healing flow through your body.

When you refuse to deal with a problem God has pinpointed,

your basically telling Him your right and He's wrong.

You will be tethered to the obstacles that have held you back,

down, and in the darkness of your own fears, doubts,

and insecurities.'

"Each morning we are born again.

What we do today is what matters most."

~Buddha~

Love, God

 It may sound a little woo-woo

but not as much as it feels woo-woo

I have felt some monumental shifts in the last

few months as I continue to learn, grow, and practice being my own

  client during this coaching program.

 I truly feel about as balanced and centered as 

I have ever felt.

I have been working hard,

taking the required steps, and

following what is in my heart.

I am only 10 weeks away from completion.

Many internal shifts,

as well as external shifts have been taken place.

I'm still waiting for my heartrate to slow.

It's been quite a ride.

I'm quite giddy.

My body, mind, emotions, and spirit have all

seemed to land on the same page together.

I feel aligned.

Strong.

*deep breath*

This is something new to me...

and I am savoring it.

 

Surrendering to this process has been both humbling and enlightening.

The course was truly a godsend.

I'm excited!

Today, I am learning how to identifying my purpose.

"Something that rips you out of bed every morning, and 

puts a smile on your face."

or 

"... the things that make you forget to sleep ,

and forget to poop."

(that's not recommended....but you get the idea)

What is something meaningful to you each day, 

that's not just about checking the boxes?

What puts you in the flow?

Journaling is meaningful to me.  I've done it for as long as I can remember.

 I inherited that gene from both sides...

 my Gram on my Dad's side, and from my Mama.

My first client walked in last week, 

and guess what?

She brought her journal along.

I think I let out a squeal.

What a happy sight.

Journaling keeps me on course with my Spirit, 

and helps me get through the day.

This morning my journaling took a new twist.

It randomly goes through changes of it's own.

Today it became more of a love letter from God.

It read like this:

Dear Robin,

Learn to enjoy life more. Relax.

Walk through the day with childlike delight.

Trust in Me, and savor every blessing.

Only when you know who you are will you 

find the faith you need to get you where you are going.

There is always room for improvement,

and where you are is an opportunity.

What you learn at any given moment will assist,

and guide you on a path to where you desire to be.

Presenting your total being completely to Me is never easy.

There is nothing more challenging in life than that.

It is a continuous offering of surrender.

Not a one time only deal.

You will always be tempted to take back control.

When you fail, do not despair or run from Me.

Renew your commitment to Me.

Set your will on allowing Me to work in your mind, 

heart, and life.

Rise up and give Me everything you are,

and hope to be.

Love, YHWH God

(*side note: in order as written in my journal, from several different sources as read.)

July Journal

We celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary.

Together for 13.

Brandon and his friends celebrated his Dad's birthday

out on the lake. They witnessed one of their friends drown.

Our hearts are heavy.

This week Brandon listed his house, so he can buy one 

and get settled in with his best friend/girlfriend three hours away.

I passed my 3rd. test at IIN, and am cleared to

start coaching.

 My first client comes Wednesday.

Hubby is doing well, and has been back to work.

It is his happy place.

Some writings and quotes from my journal this month:

"There will be times in your life when your hands are tied,

your mouth is shut, your mind is blank, & you feel totally

helpless. These are God jobs."

"There is nothing more challenging than sitting through a God job"

Healing is a detox process. Things come up that 

need to be released.

Sometimes, falling apart- getting it all out-

is how we get put back together.

God will reveal areas of our heart that He wants to heal.

(yup)

God can only take from us what we are willing to give Him.

What we've looked at.

"You can only be where you are, & it is up to you to make the best of it.

You cannot get to where you are going until you have learned

all there is to learn about where you are."

"You are capable of much more than you think possible."

JUST SAW A CHIPMUNK !!!💝 

"Sometimes the most infinitesimal unexpected change can shift everything"

" The reason you may have missed the lessons to be learned,

or refused the gifts being offered right where you are,

is you are preoccupied with where you want to be."

"Ever' thing there is but lovin' leaves a rust on yo' soul."

~Langston Hughes~

" Do not look at where you fell, but where you slipped."

"Serenity isn't the freedom from the storms of life.

It's the calm in the middle of the storm that gets me through.

It's up to me to try to keep this calm,

even when the storm gets worse."

"Fear prevents you from showing us in your greatest capacity."

Fear thrives where trust is lacking.

Everyone deserves the right to be who they truly are.

Including you.

"The only thing that defines our journey is not how others treat us,

 but how we respond to others.

How someone treats you is their journey.

How you respond is your journey."

I can love others and not forfeit love & respect to myself.

"Self-pity is a slimy bottomless pit."

Stop trying to figure everything out!

Respect what you need & trust your intuition.

Wherever you are, be there totally.

" When you let others expectations drive you,

you scatter your energy to the winds."

"Find the spirit that you share in common.

Then you will have a resource for strength

rather than a target for negative thinking"

In demanding attention from someone else,

you are giving away pieces of yourself that are too valuable to lose.

Ease up on yourself. Let go. Stop trying so hard.

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."

"....to be on pause is a good thing. Everything has to stop

at some point in order to keep going.

Unless you pause, you may not know if you are

fast forwarding or going in reverse."

Stop. Refuel. Reset.

My pain is my pain.

It is the result of what I am telling myself about myself & others,

about situations or circumstances.

I have the power to move through all things 

I would rather not remember.

I  make a commitment to honor everything about me.

"Allow your each-ness to shine in the all-ness of life."

Do not be afraid to be different from other people.

"What you do, how you do it, and when you do it affects 

every person in front of you and every person  coming behind you."

"That which leads us away from love is never our friend, never

true self-care, and never from God."

"Each time you say I can't, you dim your inner light.

Each time you are able to acknowledge, accept and embrace the truth

about yourself, your light becomes a little brighter.

Turn on the power of your light by remembering who you are."

When you believe you can, you can!

"It takes time to get self-love into the core of us."

When you get flustered and frazzled with yourself, 

do not get upset. You are only human.

"This is life, not a funeral service. Have fun.

Enter it. Take risks. Be spontaneous.

Don't always worry about doing the appropriate thing.

Do not worry about what others think or say.

Do not worry about making a mistake.

Enjoy the gift of being alive.

Be who you are! Free yourself, let yourself go

and enter a full life. Begin enjoying life."

~God~

"We often have what we really want and need, or sometimes better.

Letting go is part of what we do to get it."

God is in every tomorrow.
