giving hope joy praise purpose sow
Today, I will know the unadulterated joy of giving with no strings. I acknowledge that sometimes I hope for praise or reciprocation when I give ... and that that detracts from the joy of giving. Today, the giving will be my joy. I know that I will sow what I reap, but I will not sow for the purpose of reaping. I will sow for the joy of sowing.
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.
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.
busy concern lack needed pushing time tough
I needed his lack of concern for the insignificant as much as he needed my mindfulness. But I had a tough time getting it ... I was busy pushing my mindfulness, and he was unconcerned about pushing anything.
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.
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.
christmas closet clutter full happy however life positive purpose rid room serve three wait whatever
I've been getting rid of some clutter anything that doesn't serve a positive purpose in my life and making room for things that feel happy to me. Because I get to make my life whatever I want it to be. I get to make the room feel however I want it to feel. I get to make the closet as full or as spacious as I want it. And, if I have more clutter to get rid of after Christmas, I'm not going to wait a year, or two or three to do it.

I've been getting rid of some clutter ù anything that doesn't serve a positive purpose in my life ù and making room for things that feel happy to me. Because I get to make my life whatever I want it to be. I get to make the room feel however I want it to feel. I get to make the closet as full or as spacious as I want it.

accept anytime based coming committed consequences following god longer looking means natural peace reasonable somebody trusting truth walking whatever
Anytime I am looking to somebody else as my source, I'm coming from scarcity. I am no longer trusting God, or the Universe, for my harvest. It's reasonable for me to have expectations based on what somebody I trust has committed to. And it's natural for me to feel disappointed when that somebody doesn't come through. But when I feel more than disappointment, when I also feel anger, it's because I deviated from my truth. It's because I compromised my truth to get what somebody else promised. Because when I'm really following my truth, I will be at peace with the consequences ù whatever they are. I can accept somebody else's truth, but I must live my own truth. And sometimes that means walking away from a relationship.
bed bit breathed clean dirty earth enjoy feels fresh help hungry love maybe thinking warm
As I was snuggling back into my bed after getting up to use the bathroom, I breathed a little, ""This must be like heaven."" I love my bed. I love the ""ahh"" that comes with getting warm and smelling fresh sheets. I also love how it feels to get clean when I'm dirty and eat when I'm hungry. So, I'm thinking that maybe we still get cold, and dirty, and hungry in heaven. And, that's going to help me enjoy getting cold, and dirty, and hungry in earth (or in this body) just a little bit more.
act along areas believe decided great line maybe realized somewhere though today
Somewhere along the line I decided that if I had something or did something that maybe it wasn't so great after all. I don't believe that anymore, but I realized today that in some areas I still act as though I do. I won't anymore. Smile. Sigh. Smile.
keeps less quest
Sometimes less is more. Our quest for more, then, keeps us from it.
hear quiet truth
If we quiet our minds, we can hear the truth discerned by the heart.
acting caught talking
If we're not careful, we can get caught up in talking about what we don't know ...instead of acting on what we do know.
