Weekend Mood

Seeing old patterns. Compassion. Honesty. Space. Nourish. Fun.

Validation. Healing. Changes. Time. Impermanence. Support. Vulnerability.

Beauty. Humor. Grace. Family. Love. Authenticity. Bonds. Appreciation.

I took a little weekend escape & headed South to go love on my Mom.

Joy Journal:

Big squeezy hugs.

Hightailing it into town to catch the matinee. 

 Walking barefoot in the yard,

the sun setting behind the mountain.

 The calm of cows grazing in the pasture beside us.

Jammies, and morning coffee under the big oak tree.

The way she breaks into uncontrollable giggles, 

when she gets tickled at herself.

Sitting in her favorite chair, with

the full moon shining through the window.

A flock of doves landing behind me,

as I sit in the yard to write in my journal.

It's the greatest gift...,

 togetherness. 

To breathe in life 

with all of it's

beauty, and it's pain.

be well...

"When a great moment knocks on the door of your life,

it is very often no louder than the beating of your heart,

and it is very easy to miss."

 

Clearing

Instead of trying to do more... I have been focusing on

how I can be more of the person I need to be.

I am now in my 8th month of detoxing at a cellular level.

 It has been so much more than just sugar, 

dairy, grains, nuts and seeds and legumes....

that were eliminated.

When they said "detox at a cellular level",

I had no idea what I was in for emotionally.

It has been the most challenging thing I have EVER done for myself.

I remember when I first started to feel the changes.

 It was within my nervous system.

(another reason why I am passionate about the nervous system )

I noticed an inner peace, and calm.

I had quit ruminating, stressing, worrying, about every little thing.

I was no longer anxious. Unbothered.

I wasn't second guessing, or trying to prove anything.

I quit pushing myself so hard. 

I would let go. Give myself the grace I needed

to get through the wonkiness of the process...,

then resume my worry that I was now going completely and utterly mad.

 My coach assured me that I was not.

"Not crazy."

 I was going through a completely natural process of my detox.

Stuck energy was being released,

my mind was quieting down, and I was detaching from things more easily.

Eventually creating a feeling of openness that wasn't there before.

Totally discombobulating.

Yet.

Totally worth it.

Because, through all of those struggles,

 a new sense of ease and comfort has emerged.

And I. Feel. Amazing.

(*happy love-filled tears)

Thank you Heavenly Father, 

with you all things are truly possible.

You are my unfailing companion &

wonderful friend. You love and provide 

all the best for me.

May your sweet Spirit guide me in all

of my ways.

Amen. 

Be well...

"Clearing is not a finite task that you put on a to-do list,

and complete by a certain deadline.

It is an ongoing and revealing journey of self-discovery

that starts where you are.

It is not about freeing up some space.

It is about freeing you!

It is a gentle process of releasing

what is holding you back and nourishing

what is calling you forward.

Clearing is not something you squeeze into your life.

It is a daily practice that promotes mindfulness,

well-being, and letting go-

one baby step at a time."

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."

#God

Imagine your good.

Take responsibility for yourself.

Be well...

"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

Journal notes lately...

Slow Down. Quiet your mind.

God meets you in the question.

Living with Faith is living with uncertainty,

trusting in the unseen.

"Accept what you can impact,

& let go of what you cannot change."

Have a willing heart & a truthful spirit, 

and God will take it from there.

Meeting you where you are.

Everything you need in concentrated on Him.

Your life has meaning and beauty.

" I will instruct you and teach you in the way

you should go; I will counsel you with My

eye upon you."

~Psalm 32;8~

Many troubles are self-created & 

personal agonies self-inflicted.

You cannot run away from yourself.

He knows what is absolutely best for us.

Watch. Wait. Cooperate.

You don't have to engineer your own solutions.

You don't have to struggle, strive, or wear yourself out.

Let go of those wants & needs that cause you frustration.

It is in your times of weakness & failure that 

you have the capacity to grow the most.

See your weakness as an opportunity to grow.

Even the broken fragments of your life

can become a masterpiece.

"Even though there is so much brokenness in the world,

you can still find much that is excellent or

praiseworthy in it.

Search for such things like buried treasure."

When you unearth something lovely,

meditate on it & praise God for it.

Look at the world around you with eyes of gratitude,

& help others find the beauty in their own life.

Think about what it is your trying to build today. 

(Intention. Goal. Mindset.)

Prioritize.

You have the agency to build something in your life

that is both beautiful and lasting.

Use the right materials.

Be willing to let go of  what is old and familiar,

and be willing to stand with your hands empty 

while you wait for Me to fill them.

~Jesus~

Finally, brothers & sisters,

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is

right, whatever is pure, 

whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-

thing about such things.

Philippians 4:8

"At the sound of the tone,

leave your name and your need;

God & Goodness will make sure  you get 

exactly what you need."

be well...

"A sign that you are healing is 

that you stop running back to the things that:

Hurt your body.

Mess up your mind.

Broke your heart.

Didn't love you back.
