You are my highest, truest and best Self, And I am yours.
Now and forever,
My Dearest Valentine… with all my heart.
For weeks, the “e” key on my computer stopped working. I put off getting it fixed, and when I finally focused on doing that – I was four days out of warranty and looking at a $900 repair.
I procrastinated getting the help I needed and instead overcompensated by cutting and pasting in “e's” when I typed (yes, it was THAT nutty and labor-intensive!)
Inspired to add more music to my life and remember to add more loving care for myself, I started to journal. Here's what I wrote, and here's what happened. It's a miracle! 🙂
I WROTE just now:
I’m going to take time to SLOW DOWN today…. and Breathe.
I’ve been moving at warp speed – (I'll spare you the list of manic activities I wrote….)
So much still to do, but listening to music and writing now are my priorities in the moment.
Oh yes I also…. (more lists)… and THEN!….here comes the miracle….
OMG – just by slowing down the “e’s” on my computer just started working again. OMG! I have been copying and pasting for days now!
SLOWING DOWN, music, breathing, taking time…. the EASE of the “e’s” just miraculously appeared. It is a miracle. I’m laughing. I made it all harder on myself by over-compensating instead of taking the time to slow down and focus on what needs to be done FIRST.
FIRST comes MEEEEEEEE- with lots of EASY EASE – eeeeeeeee – they are back – my lost e’s.
It’s a miracle. Wow, G-d and the Universe – and my angels and guides, are all here to support me – if I just SLOW DOWN enough to LET THEM!!!
OMG! OMG!!
Thanks to all my angels and guides in my life. I love having my ease (e's) back! Love to all! <3 <3 <3
Now what can YOU do right now to add more EASE to YOUR LIFE!
The Wind will carry it.
The Earth will embrace it.
The Rain will nourish it.
The Sun will shine on it.
The Universe will support it.
All I have to do
Is get out of its way
And let go.
I believe we are all blessed with unique gifts and talents that we can offer the world. As we become more authentic, present and safe, we can share our wisdom in ways that enrich and inspire others.
Professionally, I have been a teacher, therapist, mediator and attorney. Personally, I am and have been a mother, grandmother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, friend – and a writer whose words have been safely stored in my computer.
In my commitment to speak my truth, I hope I can help you to do the same. As we learn how to become Self-led, self-accepting, self-loving, we find we have more empathy and compassion for others. Our relationships can improve as our lives become filled with peace, harmony, love and laughter.
As we each nurture our seeds of wisdom, knowledge and experience, we help someone else with our heart-centered support. And one seed at a time we can cultivate forests as we “get our egos out of the way” and let go.
