I know for certain I make such a difference in the world when I choose Love. And yet too often I choose thoughts other than Love and I’m focusing on thoughts that sound a lot like, “I’m a monster… I’m not good enough… I’m defective…I should know better.” Or I go the other way with, “They’re not good enough…they’re wrong…they’re stupid.” Either way I’m wallowing in suffering, feeling angry and judgment, and stuck in a downward spiral. And very often, when I look at what’s happening out in the world, my pain and sorrow feel overwhelming and unbearable. I believe we are all here to thrive and share our gifts, but it often seems an impossible task when I and the world are suffering so horribly.
Still, I have worked hard over the years, done a lot of inner work with self-compassion, acceptance and forgiveness and I’ve learned how to come back to Love. I have also learned I am responsible for the peace in my life and that creating peace within myself is one of the best actions I can take towards helping to create peace on this planet I care so much about. So that’s what I’ll be sharing with you…how I do that.
These are my musings of what it’s like to be me on this human journey, some from the past, some from the present. There are also meditations and affirmations, however, these are just a sampling and most can be found on my Everyday Wholeness FaceBook page. I hope it inspires and uplifts you to know that you are not alone in your crazy thoughts, and that despite them, you can - and do - make a difference in the world!!!! I also hope to remind you, often, that you are special, that the pain you feel in your heart from real and imagined wounds is a precious gift - to you and the world - and that because of them you have unique gifts to share with the world.
En-joy!
