connecting desk faces flower gives good heart nature reviewing space talking window wonderful
When I am me, I can see me in my space. My desk faces the window and an ocean. The flower on my desk gives off a wonderful aroma. The refrigerator has something in it I feel good about eating. When I am me, I can see me in my day. I am writing. I am talking from a heart of love. I am reviewing my notes, or editing, or walking, or something outside. I am connecting with nature and people.
easy greet heaven jumping lovely majesty ocean reminds rise shower start sun wake watching
Watching the sun rise over the ocean is making it easy for me to wake up and get out of bed. I'm not jumping up to take a shower or go to work. I'm jumping up to greet the majesty of the day, of God, of me. The majesty reminds me that God's in his heaven ... and so am I. And, heaven is a lovely place to start the day, a lovely place to live.
coexist feels giving holding lest love push sure tempted
When I'm tempted to do something that feels like giving up, I won't ... because love doesn't give up (I Corinthians, 13). But, lest I push love aside, I will make sure that what I'm holding on to can coexist with love.
afraid beneath fall fallen falling giving ground necessary ok productive remind
When I'm not afraid to fail, I wont. When I'm not afraid to fall down, falling down won't feel like failure. I have fallen down enough to get more comfortable with it, to know how productive it can be, how necessary it is to growth. Still, when I sense the ground beneath me giving way, I have to remind myself that it's OK if I falter. I have to remind myself that it's more than OK!
both farther living matter yesterday
Living in the moment, yesterday is farther away than it used to be. And, so is tomorrow. They both matter less.
decide edge giver return sit stay three toward turn walking water whether yield
I still find myself walking away from the water's edge before I have what I need. I turn around and walk back toward the water ...sometimes two or three times, as if I can't decide whether to stay or leave. I will sit down more often and yield to the giver ...and when I return to my desk, I will have what I want to give.
abundance god privilege responsibility rest walk
It is not only my right and my privilege to walk in the abundance God has for me, it is my responsibility...just as it is my responsibility to live the rest of my truth.
following happens hold invested laws ok trusting
It is OK for me to hold out for what I want. It is OK for me to find a way to make it happen. As long as I am following my truth, as long as I am not invested in how or when it happens or who helps, it is more than OK. Trusting the outcome, trusting the laws of the universe, is different from being invested in the outcome.
god staying thank
Life's not about staying on your feet. It's about getting up when you fall. Thank God!
asking maybe question
When I keep asking myself the same question over and over, maybe it's not because I don't have the answer, but because I don't like the answer.
assume behind love substance sucker words
I love words ... so I can be a sucker for eloquence. Sometimes I assume that there is substance behind the words. Sometimes I am right. And, sometimes I am wrong.
conclusion living matter reach remind seems trying
I want to let things unfold, without trying to reach a conclusion prematurely. I will remind myself that it doesn't matter what the conclusion is ... and that if it seems to matter, I'm not living MY truth.
advice best clarity great loving ourselves somebody
The best advice we can give ourselves is the loving advice we'd give somebody else. I can get some great clarity during my own workshops.
amazing coming deeper determined simply struck time worry
It's amazing how my words, I am not determined to do good, but to be good, from The Person I Don't Have Time To Be have struck me on a deeper level. When I am good, I don't have to try to do good. When I am love, I don't have to worry about coming from love. I simply need to be who I am.
