There’s an important part to add to yesterday’s musing. I can’t emphasize enough what a big transformer it is to have compassion for myself when I fall short of the mark, which is really all about me being human and forgiving myself for that. But the second aspect of that self-compassion is to be willing...to be willing to keep aspiring to my intentions...to get up when I fall down... to see myself as that big Self despite it seeming how I’m a failure right now. Willingness opens a crack in the walls of my heart. And where there’s a crack the Light and Love can come flowing in and make all the difference. Willingness says I believe in myself...that I believe I can show up better, kinder, gentler, more than I just did. Willingness also says I accept myself right where I am, just as I am, even as I just showed up. Willingness allows for and helps me to honor all the steps on my life journey, whether I label them “good” or “bad.” Compassion and willingness are the impetus for all the different pieces of Hillary to join hands and create a circle of everyday wholeness. Within that circle there is only Love, and I am that Love, and miracles can - and do - happen. Today is a good day...and I make it so!!
