afraid beneath fall fallen falling giving ground necessary ok productive remind
When I'm not afraid to fail, I wont. When I'm not afraid to fall down, falling down won't feel like failure. I have fallen down enough to get more comfortable with it, to know how productive it can be, how necessary it is to growth. Still, when I sense the ground beneath me giving way, I have to remind myself that it's OK if I falter. I have to remind myself that it's more than OK!
ability accepting ahead equally friend lesson struck timely today truth
I was struck today with a realization that a friend had way ahead of me. I was equally struck by his ability to live his truth while still accepting me as I was ...a timely lesson for Jan.
keeps less quest
Sometimes less is more. Our quest for more, then, keeps us from it.
following happens hold invested laws ok trusting
It is OK for me to hold out for what I want. It is OK for me to find a way to make it happen. As long as I am following my truth, as long as I am not invested in how or when it happens or who helps, it is more than OK. Trusting the outcome, trusting the laws of the universe, is different from being invested in the outcome.
buried hard lack learning miracle rather reason struggle trust
I am learning to trust my instincts, rather than struggle too hard with reason ... because reason can get buried in misinformation, or too much information; and it can lack the miracle of love.

conclusion living matter reach remind seems trying
I want to let things unfold, without trying to reach a conclusion prematurely. I will remind myself that it doesn't matter what the conclusion is ... and that if it seems to matter, I'm not living MY truth.
abundance becomes follow giving until
Abundance doesn't follow giving until giving becomes its own reward.
solitude taking took
I took a day of solitude today. We know what we need. Taking it is delightful.
cried deeper feels god quit remind sound trying weary
I cried, and cried some more. I told God that I was weary of trying. And, God told me to quit trying. It doesn't sound like a revelation, but it feels like a revelation. Because I got it on a deeper level. I'm going to quit trying. When I forget, I'm going to remind myself. I'm going to do what I want to do; and I'm going to quit trying to do the rest. It's not the doing that's exhausting; it's the trying. The doing is exhilarating!
lose miss newness nurture
If I nurture the newness while I have it, perhaps, I won't lose it at least not for something less. And if I nurture what I keep, perhaps, I won't miss what I have lost.
acting caught talking
If we're not careful, we can get caught up in talking about what we don't know ...instead of acting on what we do know.

Love really does make everything beautiful, from the inside out.
