Feasting in the Delights of Love
Life is grand when you realize your ability to feast in the delights of love.
What image does feasting in the delights of love conjure for you? Are you willing to look within, embrace self-love and allow that energy to propel you forward? Look around you, where do you see Love? How do you define it? Embrace it? Feast in the delights of it?
Ending & Beginning
The end is nothing but a new beginning.
Do you find yourself becoming stagnant from limited beliefs of what the end means? How will you change your thought process around the end cycle...a project completion, broken friendships, the winding down of life, etc.? How will you live in the new beginning of each moment?
Awaiting
My life and love await me as I walk along the path of forgiveness and compassion.
What is awaiting you? With what is your path paved? What stops you from living your truest life and love?
Try It On For Size
Try it on for size – self-love, compassion, forgiveness – and find within the wondrous you the power to take another step, the essence of bliss, and the manifestation of divine providence. It’s all there for your adventure, for your pleasure, for your embracing.
When you explore the depths of you, what do you uncover? Is the exploration of you an adventure? Are you able to see the correlation between self-love, compassion and forgiveness with forging ahead, bliss and divine providence?
Walk Gently
Walk gently upon this earth. Allow your tears to water your soul and your smile to nourish the earth. Blessed be now and forever.
How will you walk upon this earth today? Do you recognize the healing effect of your tears and your smile? How Do you nourish of this earth?
Honoring Self
Light up the world with your smile and allow your soul to rest in the tenderness of your brilliance.
How will you honor yourself today?
Living Fully
In order to live life fully you’ll need to keep your heart overflowing with love, your eyes wide open and your soul packed with compassion.
How do you define a fully lived life? How does it feel to fill your heart with love? Are you able to keep your eyes wide open and not run from that which you may not like to see within yourself? Can you embrace what you see and love it up in order to heal? What will happen to you today if you live everything through a soul of compassion?
Trust
“I need to trust that through all trials and tribulations alike I am being prepared for the next steps along my journey.”
Do you trust that your trials and tribulations are preparing you for your next steps? Do you feel discouraged or hopeful? Will you allow yourself take a step forward?
Savor You
Look through the lens of your heart and savor the beauty of you.
How does it feel to savor you just as you are?
Frailty
Walk gently in your frailty. Embrace it. It will not cripple you unless you run from it.
What aspects of yourself do you define as frail? How can and will you embrace these aspects of yourself? Are you willing to stop running from it – your frailty?
What is God Saying
If I am getting angry about having to do more, maybe I shouldn’t be doing more. God may be trying to still me. Spirit may be telling me to slow down, quiet myself.
When you feel the Spirit what do you think God is saying to you? Will you listen?
Peaceful Heart
It was a peaceful heart I was searching for only to realize it was there all along, under the labors and burdens I was clinging to, much too tightly.
What are you clinging to? How is it stifling your life, your heart?
You
My thought for today is a question…
Who do you say you are?
Ponder over you today and drink yourself in as you meld with creation. Enjoy you.
Happy day.
Peace, Love, and Blessings.
Surrender Sweetly into Love
To surrender sweetly into love is to walk in mercy with all creation.
Will you allow yourself to surrender sweetly into love?
Trust
I place my trust in your O Lord. Please guide me to your ever present love and allow me to flourish in the bloom of this new day.
In what/whom do you place your trust? What steps will you take today to delve deeper into trusting your Inner Wisdom, your Higher Self?
Showing Up
“It is all there, me, God, love. Like a tidal wave of star bursts, just when I think I’ve gone missing I show up again, like a star on a dark night.” – Lisa Zuercher, from Silence of Distraction, 13 April 2009.
How do you show up each day? What distractions in life take you away from realizing the full sense of you and your potential? Where and how do you see light in the dark spaces of your life?
Moon Beams
I stepped out onto the back porch into the setting of the full moon. Bella Luna, I whispered, and then took a deep breath as if inhaling the moon itself. My mind engulfed in the passion of moon beams and suddenly I felt recharged, free, and dwelling in the present moment.
