The Divine

I do feel that if one walks cheerfully over the earth answering that of god in everyone and chooses love over fear and trusts that things will work out one way or another and that everyone has gifts or a purpose, one is connected to spirit.  I know that when I don’t use my gifts, I’m overly nice to the point of getting walked upon and / or choose fear, that life sucks.  When I do answer that of god (sometimes buried in layers) yet protect myself from the layers, live with love and use my gifts, then I have a wonderful sense of contentment and joy.  What I am still lacking is the ability to see that of god in my self.  If I did, I would consider my gifts and needs as a priority and take better care of myself, loving myself, my body and living a more balanced life.  This is what this blog is supposed to be about – getting to that point. It’s hard to learn all of this stuff when it was so lacking while growing up, but not impossible, just needing more effort.

PS

I need to go back to my Fear and Love post and stop freaking out about things that may or may not happen. Live in the now and proceed.

RSVP

Every year I complain about people not getting back to me with RSVPs. This year 2/3 of the invited have RSVPed before the deadline. Has the financial crisis or the election of Obama turned us into nicer, kinder people? Instead of getting mad because I don’t know who will be here (for food prep), now I’m a little freaking out about how many people will be here. It always works out and it will again this year (right?). I still have Christmas shopping to do, things to be mailed and lots of cooking, baking, cleaning and decorating to do. Trying to remain calm and remember that this is all about love, family and friendships in the midst of the darkness this time of year brings.

Fear and Love

Every few years, there seems to be a time when everything falls apart and then rights itself again.  Nearing the end of one of the falling apart times, I am wondering if this time I will actually learn a lesson or two.

As the title suggests, falling into fear is easy, but really is pointless, because things do come around.
