A Challenge-No complaining

No Complaining Challenge
Well, here it is. Edwene Gaines was in town a week or so ago and she talks about committing to be complaint free for 21 days. That may seem like a lot but I've tried it for many more than 21 days and it is exhilarating! Really. So this week, how about from today til next Wednesday we each challenge ourselves not to complain about ANYTHING.

Simple Everyday Spiritual Practice
For 7 days be complaint free! Anytime you catch yourself moving into a complaint, stop, forgive yourself and let that complaint go, without voicing it. I'd LOVE to hear how this one goes. I find I get highly tuned to the complaints in my head and the ones others are speaking too. In each instance say a blessing. Whatever your personal method of blessing is! Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Peace and love,

Love with Reckless Abandon

Love with Reckless Abandon
How often do you Love with Reckless Abandon? What is occurring to me is that there are people in my life who I love with my whole heart but did I tell them that yesterday? Nope. I also have a rock solid belief in Today as the only day of existence. Now, what does it cost us to express love with reckless abandon? Nothing. And how often do we just give it away freely? What are we really afraid of? That too much love will be put out in the world? "Oh, what if they don't love me back, what if they think I'm weird, what if, what if, what if..." Well, what if you never see that person again in this world? What if the last time you spoke to them you wanted to say I LOVE YOU LIKE CRAZY, but didn't. Think about it. We are given this day. Our life is string of Todays. How are we going to love today? Jesus had ONE commandment-"These things I command you, that ye love one another." John 15:17. Love one another. It's really why we're here. Yeah, I know I thought it was for that great new car too. :)

Simple Everyday Spiritual Practice
LOVE WITH RECKLESS ABANDON! Contemplate what that means to you and have at it! Tell everybody everyday! There is nothing to lose and so much to gain by spreading love.

Outrageous

Outrageous Love

This month our topic at Power of Oneness is "Loving Outrageously". It got me to thinking. How do I love myself outrageously? And do I love myself outrageously? We know we can only give away what we have, so if we are going to love others outrageously maybe we need to love ourselves outrageously first. :)

Simple Everyday Spiritual Practice
This week lets just contemplate these questions:
Do I love myself outrageously?
How do I love myself outrageously even more?
Yes, indulge yourself. I think I'll start with an extra sauna and whirlpool time. :)

Peace and love,

Forgiven

I AM Forgiven

I realized that I was having trouble spreading love. Yes, even a tree hugging, peacemaker has trouble seeing love all the time. :) What I realized was that I could not spread it out in the world as easy because I was holding myself hostage for past actions. I woulda never guessed it but there it was right in my face. So I began to forgive myself. Not always easy when we are stuck in the past in our mind. I wrote a letter to someone I had harmed apologizing for my actions and I consciously forgave myself. As humans we do the best we can with what we know at the time. And as the saying goes, "When you know better you do better." So lets do better now. God has already forgiven us because God is Love. Let's let ourselves off the hook.

Simple Everyday Spiritual Practice
Bring to mind that one thing that has been with you for a while and you know what it is cuz you keep thinking that you need to apologize. It's nagging and it won't go away. Write a letter of apology for whatever it is you think was your part. No blame just clarity. Whether you send the letter or not, feel the freedom of letting go of holding yourself hostage for something you did in a past that doesn't even exist anymore. Forgive yourself. And say it. I AM Forgiven. Because we already are. God is love and forgiveness is done. And so it is. Amen.
