9-23-22 Self-inquiry, done with compassion yet honesty, is one of the best self-care actions I have ever done for myself. When I say, “Yes, I do that or yes, I did that,” I give myself the best possibility of changing my future. I take responsibility for it, first to see what amends, if any, I need to make because other people matter to me; my intention is always connection. Second, shining the light of Love on what happened helps me to make a different choice next time.

In the present moment, it allows me to accept myself more, no matter what AND still be gentle with myself. It’s part of my human journey and doesn’t take away from my true nature. It doesn’t prevent me from Be-ing Love. And that love-in-action for myself actually brings me to wholeness – I become a safe haven where ALL my pieces are welcome.

From a consciousness of Love, none of my less skillful choices, or other people’s less skillful choices, prevent me from indulging in a do- over, where I then get to share my gifts and serve in the best way I know how from my heart. Today is a good day...and I make it so!
