boldly knowing love

Dear Beautiful Soul,

Today is the day to let go of those heavy bags you have been carrying around with you for far to long.  They have helped you through many journey's, have protected your heart in troubling moments, and have guided you to here.  To this moment.  However, those bags no longer serve you, and are ready to be released. Free yourself of them.   

Today is the day to step Boldly into Knowing Love.  To open your heart and soul to the possibility that anything can happen.  Freely allow moments to wash in and out, like the oceans tide.  Savor the precious giddyness of happiness.  Let those moments be your guide to cultivating more love, light, and laughter.  

You are stronger and braver than you even realize.  Boldly step into Love.  Begin today.  Believe in your stength.  Believe in who you are.  Know that you are so incredibly lovable.  

Love,

Your Inner Light, who adores you 

good choices

This week was full of good choices

Choosing to move my body
Pick up the dry cleaning
Keep the money in my pocket

Choosing mini golf over errands
Laughter and storytelling
Dreaming of vactions to take

Choosing the healthy option
Going to bed early
Purchasing much needed undergarments

The choice is always in our hands
To take care of our self and choose laughter
Or go down the road we really do not want to

What good choices have you made this week?

growing together in love

In relationships there is comprise
Having to make the bed when it does not really matter to you if stays unmade
Being ok with a dish in the sink, even when you are wanting to get it washed
Throwing your clothes into the hamper instead of on the floor right next to it

The little things you do to make the day to day living together smoother
Finding the balance between that extra step your willing to go
And the things you are willing to let go of yourself
Because life still runs smoothly even when they are out of place

Each of us are human
With our own quirks and way of doing things
To live harmoniously with another we must learn to dance together
An intricte dance of seeking what is important to the other

We need to respect each others light
Provide space to shine and breathe
Fuel each others fire, encourage the next big adventure
We must trust in flight

We know we cannot change the other, and we must never try
Embrace everything, even the unmade bed
For that is a gift in teaching us to let go sometimes
We must recoginze the beauty of the other

When you find this person
And learn their dance
True love blossoms
And each of you grow strong, radiant, freely

2013, all the cards on the table

A new year has arrived and I have my hands deep in lighting candles with intention, reflecting, and casting wishes for the year ahead.  I have not yet chosen a word for 2013 yet, but I have a clear focus.  I want to get my act together.  Pay my bills on time, budget my money, and do those things you have to do in life without putting it off and putting it off again, and then just not doing it.  You know the things I am talking about; getting the oil changed in the car, going to the doctor, making those phones calls to see if I can get a better rate on car insurance.  All the necessary things that I always without fail put off.

So I started the year off right and got the oil changed in my car on New Years Eve.  I calendared out all my bills, and signed up for a budgeting app that will hopefully help to keep me on track.  I am taking a look at my 401k and trying to really understand what it all means.  I am putting one foot in front of the other instead of just sitting down and not doing a thing.  I am showing up with all the cards on the table and taking a look at them instead of pretending they are not there.

Its a good start, and to get any where you have to start.  So I stand here welcoming 2013 with open arms and eyes wide open  How about you?  What are you welcoming into 2013?

words

Words
So simple, yet powerful
They touch deep into our souls
Whispering encouragement
Letting us know we are not alone
They are there beside us when we need them most
A song lyric
A poem
A favorite line from a book
A grocery list
Letter from a friend
Or a text message arriving in the palm of our hand
These words envelope us
Taking us through our days
And giving us courage and grace to step into our light

Words speak deep
Lift us up
And guide us
Our words need to be shared with others
Written down for new eyes to fall upon
A chance to be soaked in when needed most
A place to turn to again and again
What your heart needs to hear, others need as well
Words are medicine for the soul

What words have been whispering through your heart lately?
What words do you know need sharing?
