Kindness and Truth.

Expressing Kindness and Truth can be a path to unconditional positive regard. Being able to hold oneself with kindness and tell oneself the truth  in a kind way, can lead to holding oneself with a view of unconditional positive regard. Being compassionate with oneself can work as a model to be more able to be compassionate with others.

LOVE ~ the JUICY Heart ❤

Today I will do my best to hold myself kindly and to tell myself the truth in a kind way.

Everything is an experiment.

When I experiment there is little attachment to the outcome.

Today I will be experimenting, looking to see what happens when…  Today will be about seeing what happens if…

Adding a dash of this or a little of that…

Generosity

Being generous always seems to smooth  me out. When I am generous I seem to attract my own good feelings from within. Generosity seems to be a salve for me. To give a little of anything, it could be a kind word or a bit of encouragement, makes me feel better about me. I feel and can experience that I am doing something that is generative and constructive.

Today I will be generous. Smiling ❤

Set Yourself FREE!

Only you have to power to set yourself free. Give yourself the control to be in the driving seat.

I feel so much better when I let myself be exactly who and how I am even with the influence of external forces. I feel so much better when I know I am free. I feel so much better when I know I am determining my future. I feel so much better when I contribute to myself. I feel so much better when I let myself shine.

Set Yourself FREE!

Today I will be FREE!

Getting the JOB Done

Sometimes there is great joy in getting the job completed. Sometimes it feels like it was a lot of work. Sometimes it takes a lot of conversation and conflict resolution. Sometimes it just takes looking and sampling and trying it all out over and over and over… The process of getting a job to completion can sometimes seem interminable. Then finally there comes a point and one can say… Is this complete? Have I done all I can do?

Finally when you can answer… Yes, I have done all I can do.

Acknowledging that the job is complete. That all that can be done has been done…

I adore that moment when you can breathe a sigh of relief. Know that the job is done and that the process of doing can rest and the moments for acknowledgement can take place.

Tony and I just bought a new car. We have not bought a car in 20 years and this was a pleasure. We got to look and sample and do all kinds of research. Then we got to go out and test drive and finally after all of our exploration we made the choice and took the leap. The job is done.The work of making a choice is complete.

The new car will be here sometime next week. I am looking forward to the pleasure of all that is new and exciting… ❤

ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT ~ Juicy Heart

“You must ask for what you really want…”
 
Life is amazing when you begin to ask. Life begins to happen. That life is happening brings trust that we will be heard. Being heard means asking for more. Asking for more brings abundance. Abundance builds and grows in other areas and soon we can have a life that is full of what we have been asking for.
 
Don’t go back to sleep…

Thanks to Harry Faddis for the art and to Rumi for the poem and to all of the seekers who have carried this image with them, that I might have the honour to share.

Emerging from the test on Friday. Today is Monday and I feel like I just woke up after a long sleep. All went well. I am curious to see where this flows to next.

My heart is open and clear. My heart leaps with JOY!

In Blackwater Woods

by Mary Oliver
 
Look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,

the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders

of the ponds,
and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is

nameless now.
Every year
everything
I have ever learned

in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires
and the black river of loss
whose other side

is salvation,
whose meaning
none of us will ever know.
To live in this world

you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good” ~ Dr. Seuss

Today is all about doing, preparing, planning and letting go. Doing some of the things, taking care of some of the stuff that I have little practice with. By all of this I mean that today I must enlist help. I must ask those around me to help me. Some of this asking is simply for a thought, with some a big deed.  Asking has always been a challenge for me.

Today I will trust and ask. I will seek the help that I need to move ahead. I will take care of myself and in this self-care take care of the world and the loved ones around me.  ❤

Today is about Pleasure

What brings and delivers pleasure to me? What edifice do I have to break apart to allow pleasure?

Simple delight… the Pleasure in Beauty…

Today I will dive in deep and experience the pleasures around me. ❤
