Freedom from guilt

Guilt (whether it's our own or guilt we lay on others) separates us from God, 

people, and ourselves. It steals our sense of connection, our joy, 

and our peace of mind..

Connecting to others

Love is the lesson we're all here to master...

Doing life

Life is about patience, forgiveness, tolerance,

continuing to grow so that we can be our best, 

and random selfless acts of kindness...

Investing ourselves in love

When we allow ourselves to judge, blame, practice a belief system that subscribes 

to guilt and punishment, our hearts are forced to live on a battleground. In taking responsibility for our part in things and no longer seeing ourselves as victims, in forgiving ourselves and others, and by practicing true compassion, our hearts will flourish and we will have put an end to the idea of war and separation... 

Pure love

Love is not about choosing who give our affections to. 

It's about living with an open heart; a heart free of judgement.  

Often the hardest people to love are our best teachers. 

Connecting with our inner self

We hide our pain, even from ourselves, because we don't want to feel it. 

We swallow hurt because we think showing our emotions is a sign of weakness. 

However, the definition of courage is the ability to connect with our own feelings...

Healing

When we have made peace with the past,

we come to know freedom...

Loving all that is

Universal love is not the same as personal love. 

Universal love spills itself into every experience.

Universal love is self-love expressing itself outwardly.

Open arms

If it hurts to hang on, it's time to let go. 

Letting go doesn't necessarily mean we have to give up something. 

Sometimes, we just need to loosen our grip...

Loving you

Don’t try to prove yourself. 

Just be yourself.

Seeing only good...

 There is beauty in all that is... The ability to see it comes from 

accepting things as they are, not as we wish them to be...

Growing wings

Life will always hand us the perfect lesson...

Friendship

A genuine relationship is built on trust, respect, 

and direct, honest communication... 

Faith

Sometimes the best thing we can do to help someone is to simply trust their journey. 

The kind of faith that it takes to do that comes from our ability to trust our own journey...

Aligning with our soul

If we have the good fortune to discover the things 

that speak to our soul, we then, must have the courage to 

create a life that represents what we love...

A new beginning

Fear creates a bleak little world. Bleakness creates feelings of hopelessness. How do we manage the hopelessness? We find ways to run from it through addiction. We become addicted to having fun, feeling good, chasing the feeling of happiness, love, power, achieving... How do we overcome these self-defeating habits? We begin to create something new by stepping away from these behaviors, facing whatever fears we were running from to begin with, and trust God for the rest...
