Amor Fati

A Latin phrase translated to,

love of ones fate.

" The path of greatness is found through a love of

ones own fate."

"Most of us, most of the time fight with our fate,

we fight our reality, we fight what is.

Maybe we can all learn to fall more in love with our fate.

To be at peace where we are,

to accept what is and flow with life as it's unfolding.

We can still choose the direction we'd like to go,

but there is also wisdom in releasing the need to control everything,

and allowing things to unfold.

Beautiful things can happen when we stop fighting against what is,

and wishing things were different, and allow ourselves to fully

embrace and fall in love with what is."

Belonging

"So where in the end do we belong?

In the eyes of another, where we see ourselves reflected?

Or arm in arm with those whose faces echo our own,

whose blood we share?

Or is it in the heart of the family we create, where we are safest,

and best known, and never lonely?

Perhaps we belong where love can bloom,

because we give it room to put down roots

 and space in which to thrive.

Seeds fly in upon the wind and settle where they will.

We all belong somewhere.

If we're not nurtured as we should be,

we must find a choice to make, a place to go,

a harbor where the the storm is held at bay.

Sometimes simply belonging to each other is enough,

and what matters is not the struggle

but where we find our peace."

Song and Quote

My favorite pick of the day?

This song by Matthew West....

and something that was said in my group today...

"The good news is there's hope,

and the bad news is we're it !"

It's the little things.

Simple Abundance

" Simple abundance, 1: an inner journey; 2: spiritual and practical

course of creative living; 3: a tapestry of contentment."

Things I am focusing on this year:

My word pick for the year : Awareness

with,

Gratitude 

Simplicity and 

Balance, riding on it's threads.

Last year was Surrender

and paired with that was growth.

No doubt those words saved me by helping me switch from

my monkey brain, to being more present.

Looking back, I can honestly say those words paved the way over

some pretty rough terrain.

And this year....I want to laugh more. I want to walk lighter, and appreciate more.

That is the fruit from digging deep and unearthing some pretty stubborn weeds

last year.

Some quotes from my morning notes:

" There are years that ask questions and years that answer."

"Each minute, each hour, each day, I smile a little more,

let go of yesterday a little more, and lie in today a little more."

' We cannot lay down our burdens on our own,

nor do they disappear over time.

True freedom is possible only through Jesus.

We cannot reach our burdens and often don't understand

how deep they go. Bur Jesus does.

And He knows the perfect way to heal us completely.'

"God formed you to love you. Go forth today with that knowledge.

Get out of bed with the assurance you are loved, valued, 

and have all you need to rise up to all you were created to do and enjoy."

"Self-care leads us on a path to God's will and plan for our life.

Self-care never leads away from our highest good; it leads toward it."

"A spiritual plan is a statement of clear intention about what

you desire to experience within yourself and a clear

definition of what you must do to make it happen."

'Remember that it only takes a slight shift in

direction to begin to change my life.'

" The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

" Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you.

Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself."

Warm hugs and, may you find peace, happiness and

beauty in the small things.

Happy New Year!
