This life has such a tremendous amount to say through us if we can only let it be and stop resisting. We also have to make room. Many of us have too much junk in our lives. There is no room for the good that is waiting to come in to fit. No I am not saying quit your job or leave your husband (Unless you need to) I am saying all of us can use a good pruning. A time when we take inventory of what you have and what we want and purge the stuff we do not need. You can give it away you can sell it or you can toss it~ but move it out of the way. Make space! I found myself saying to the rose bushes today as I mercilessly cut them back: “Now you know I expect a new well flowered rosebush next year.” I really do expect to get it.
It is probably even more important with relationships. Many of my friends have a desire for dear friends but tolerate & allow hateful wars to flourish and let the people who love them wait. It is not because they don’t love their waiting friends ~ but more like they want to win the war, with no thought of what it is actually costing them.
I am trying to be different. The moment I get the message please be in my life I am there. If there is another message being sent I follow suite and let that person go! I do not fight with them unless I really want to win them back and feel they are valuable enough to go for it. Otherwise : Don’t block my flow!
Something is waiting to be born with in us and find its way into expression in our lives. Do we have the courage to make room for it? I find myself saying: Hmmm there’s so much more here. I guess that is true always we share only a portion of what is going on and we agree silently to deal with only half of that. But if I were to push that here and tell you what I am hearing I would say that you have a tremendous amount that is waiting to be born from you.

I really appreciate your self care dynamic. I am always reminded that there is room to seek improvement from a positive perspective. Care for the others can include self-care and self-care is contagious. I am truly motivated by your perspectives on this. I will do 15 minutes on my bike because of how you put that. I am locking the door and putting the do not disturb sign and doing 15 whole minutes. :) if I don't get distracted. Thanks!
I did not know you had a bike! is it Stationary? thank you Jayne for your comment & for hearing me so well!
I love your plan. Let me know how many times you have tell them: "this is my TIME PEOPLE"
I missed the opportunity to do my spinairobics that night. I opted out for a remedial lesson in Hoedown Showdown or what ever they call it. It helps to have a real Miley Cyrus in your own house or somebody who knows the dance as well, namely Evvy. Well anyway, keeping up with the Joneses in my house is about making my feet move as fast as ever on the housefloor.:) I was motivated by the disciplines of being born.
One day, I saw a tiny baby in church, in the pew in front of me. Her daddy was covering her with a blanket and she was newly out of the womb. She was dreaming of back in the womb and I was watching her reaching around for the umbilical cord and looking for the end of the sac she was sleeping in. She couldn't reach the extent and got scared and woke up. The look on her face when she saw her daddy was priceless. That is the picture you erupted to me when you inspired me to be born. Reaching past the enclosures of the womb to see the precious eyes of God holding me and knowing I am safe. I think I missed the sermon that morning:).
