Love

I find that the closer I am to letting go, the more I resist. It is incredibly counterintuitive. I usually am not fully conscious of what it is I am letting go of, but I can tell when things are shifting. My resistance comes in the form of the less desirable dispositions…I’m edgy, defensive,…

That’s the love nudge I needed. In a big way. Loving harder requires a lot of courage and vulnerability…and trust. A nugget to tie in from a previous blog…we are called to love the PERSON, free of their choices, actions or words. Now to take this into personal relationships…what a…

I love the fact that this quote spoke to me and then received an affirmation of this at the last of our parish mission sessions with Jeanne Cotter. She shared a pretty incredulous story with us, leaving us all in shocked silence…and concluded with the message that everything is a gift. Forgive and love…

Be present with people without sacrificing who you are. ~Brené Brown It’s a comfort to see “get uncomfortable” in that quote because it sure does go hand in hand with being vulnerable. Fasten your seat belt needs to be included on the list, too, because…

“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.” ~Henry David Thoreau Lost. That seems to be the most fitting word to describe where I am right now. I could go into the energy of the solar storms and the big energy of the nearing full moon to explain why…

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” ~Denis Waitley The seemingly elusive concept of happiness and what isn’t attempted in order to attain it.
