As I step, so intentionally, into this new world, and am called on to let go of more and more of the past, I root myself deeply in what is true, what is real.  

I am grounded in the here and now.

I trust my intuition to guide me away from those people and things that would wish to derail my purpose as it gently teaches me to discern the voice of God.  

Every day I step further into unconditional love and better remove myself from fear and the gripping control that grows out of it.  

I embrace the unexpected face of freedom, and the wildness of it all.  

I release those things and people behind me with love as I push onward and step into my calling.

"For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."2 Timothy 1:7

For the reminders that routine is best for my children right now,

For the much needed rain,

For the healing,

For the insight,

For the scars,

For the health,

For the freedom,

For the blessings, both material and soulful,

For the children sleeping in their beds,

For the reminder, right now, that sometimes a simple prayer is best,

I am so very grateful.

Lighting a candle to refocus.


With it until I feel connected to my Self and the present.


Deep cleansing breath.

This afternoon calls for a retreat into silence.  

Focus on your breath, fall deep into your psyche where you can connect with your Source.

There is healing in the air today,

Waiting for you to connect with it.

Deep Breath

Exhale


Release

The long day is over.  


*****

I am worthy of this rest.  

This break.  

Time to breath easy.  


Time to return to the me that was before responsibility came and took over.


Even if all I can offer her is a celebration of rest.

Good night, Amens, and Sweet Dreams



Love,
Anna

Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.
~William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Ease your mind and come to the present.

Three deep cleansing breaths.




I am as animal as the chipmunk who is nibbling the last bits of birdseed from the bowl outside my window, and it is as soulful as I.  

I am as rooted as the the tree it sits under.  

I am a blessing, like the raindrops that fall. 

I am nourished, like the deep brown earth and the snowy clover that grows from it as they receive their bounty from the sky.

I do not need to worry or fear.  I only have to live.

I am right where I should be, and right as I should be.  

This is a beautiful afternoon, for which I am grateful.  I and all things are brilliant in it, and for that I am grateful, too.  



Deep Breath

Breathing in peace, releasing your stress.

And back to your beautiful blessing of a day.
