Soothing and Comforting
Today I hope that you can find a way to soothe, comfort and love.
Hope
What happens when the things that bring you comfort don't add up? Where do you find hope?
Love and Connection
What love and difficulty do you have in your life and is there someone you can share that with?
Hope
What happens when the things that bring you comfort don't add up? Where do you find hope?
Love and Connection
What love and difficulty do you have in your life and is there someone you can share that with?
Comfort.
Why do I avoid and neglect what serves my soul? Gives me guidance? What part of me tells myself I don't need comfort?
Powerless
Admitting powerlessness is a process of creation. I need say no more, do no more, I am powerless. There is strength in surrender.
Rage
Who listens when I rage and demand answers? Yelling at the world, stomping my feet, shaking my fist, serves me not at all, and so how can it serve anyone else?
Good Friend
What is a good friend? A caring lover? A good mother?
The Core
What is at the core of relationships? If there are amends to make, how do we begin it?

Take it for Granted or Gratitude
How do we manage the good, easy times? Do we take them for granted or with grounding gratitude?
Simple Steps to Cooperate with Divine
When life is lovely, why would I place myself - without evidence - in an uncomfortable spot? Why would I allow internal dialogue to override the actual experience of my senses? Pause, breathe, take in the world around me in this moment. If I don't allow myself to feel the good, I rob myself of the internal buffering system that helps when the going gets rough. Are you able to pause the difficult…
Love - Just Do It
Love can be challenging. It stretches us to our utmost capacity and then further still. Just do it. One step at a time in this moment, this breath. Experiences link hands, love and connection grow and then comes joy and laughter. Avoidance turns into deep connection and fills us with strength of purpose, understanding and love.
Connect With Divine
When there is discord, we each play our own part. Nothing can trample the divinity within me and nor can I trample the divinity within another. When people tell me I'm less than, or I could have done more, the mirror rises, who has reached out for greater understanding of Divine? Not necessarily all.
Talk Trust Feel
When you look at your default settings, do you allow yourself a voice or is the microphone turned off?
Trudge the Road of Happy Destiny
In our most solitary moments we are never really alone.
Relationships
Allow yourself to feel your relationships more deeply today. You may be a light in someone's life. What do you acknowledge and what do you neglect?
What If?
How do we get to a place where we accept uncertainty and know that it is a fact of life? We can hope that life becomes a more calm, stable, and grounded place, but what if?
Peacefull
I don't know anyone who is peace FULL. Full of peace. I'm not, but when I do a full 360 around my life, I find the peace, if I choose to see it.
Sum Total
We are the sum total of what we bring to each moment. If I bring myself - in reliance with my Higher Power - in a fit body, unburdened by resentments, and ready to go forward, I will see life as the blessing it is, no matter what.
Embracing Foolishness
What scars do you have? Was it foolishness or are they marks of wisdom, learning and beauty?
Blow Your Lid
Friends today, what sort of stretching and growing are you allowing yourself to do and does it help you not suffer or become bitter? Where do you allow yourself to blow your lid? To share the challenging emotions and where do you force yourself to keep them quiet?
The Profundity of Life
The tools I use to drag myself down, I use on others with equal fervor. That the human system functions in health and harmony at all - the individual body or One Spirit itself - is a miracle.
Self-Care, Self-Love and Self-Neglect
"Self" is a destination, and self-love is a way of arriving there.
Naughty or Nice?
Who made the list? When I'm with someone who has a curiosity about life, a sense of humor and intelligence, it is a source of energy for me. Then they do something human or less than perfect and go from my Nice List to my Naughty List - an energy drain. What about me? How many times have I decided I'm just not good enough to make the list? How do you define quality and are you direct about it?
Good Enough
I look around my life and feel pleased with where I am and have some understanding of who I am.
Carry On
Sometimes carrying on is the only way. Allow a moment of gratitude for what you are able to do today.
Despair
If I take a hard look at what causes me despair I see I have swatted away many hands that may have helped me understand how to do better. Friends, if there is any sort of faith in your life that overcomes despair hang on to it, allow yourself to explore it, listen.
Listen
Listen when people speak. Soften your voice when you feel yourself becoming harsh and judgmental. Grow into silence and allow it to create a space for awareness and understanding of self and other.
Friendship
Where do you feel valued and under-valued? How many friends do you have that are true friends? Do you have any? Do you find that it's easier to be superficial with your friends and family members out of duty than to create a true, definite love, a deep caring and authentic expression of who you are?
Nonsense
When you look back over the landscape of your life, do you see and feel love or difficulty? I was the difficult one because I questioned authority, but it rolled forward as normal. What's normal when it's nonsense?
Connections
"This story went well because of my connection to you."
Harm
Harm.
Kindness and Respect
Is it possible to be angry or frustrated and still be kind and respectful to those we are angry with or frustrated by? And if we practice kindness and respect, how long will our emotional sobriety last?
Roles and Burnout
What roles do you play? How selectively do you spend your energy and how often are you depleted? What have you received that builds you up and is it a balanced exchange?
The Quicksand of Communication
Challenge, compensation and balance in relationship.
Ask for Help
Talking with a friend or asking for guidance from your Higher Power, do you listen, or do you just keep talking?
Keep It Simple
How do we balance vigilance with control, safety with enjoyment, security with freedom? Must we define chaos and reason a path through it, or can we keep it simple?
Ignored vs Rigorous Honesty
What can you safely ignore? If there are no more excuses and the time for action is now, will it be uncomfortable or healing?
Guilt and Well-Being
When does responsibility end and resentment begin? It's time to cut the cord between guilt and well-being.
Faith and Self Love
Does God exist? How do you know?
Quiet Calm in an Emergency
How can we feel comfort in our discomfort, calm instead of urgency in an emergency? Do you call upon that quiet, calm, still space within when you need to? Are you able to connect with your higher power?
To Hug or Not to Hug
What is healthy connection and what is dysfunction? Can we connect and also ask permission to do it?
Uncharted Territory
Are you willing to explore and where do you look for guidance when you move into uncharted territory?
Before, Here and Hereafter
Are there times when you feel like you cannot go on? Where does the light come from?
True Self
When do we ever get around to that?
Floor Chicken
Self-Esteem
What sort of self do you bring to your relationships? Are you self-less? Perhaps it's time to be self-more. More life, more love, more esteem.
