Friday Quote: A Year by the Sea


This weeks quote comes from a book I love by Joan Anderson. She has written several books about her journey of self discovery.

 

Such is my morning ritual, nothing terribly complicated unless I’ve forgotten to bring logs in from the woodpile the night before. I’m deep into my time-out season of life, where it seems best to be actively passive, involved in little, aware of much. Instinct told me to take myself away and look at all the unwrapped gifts nature has to offer. The natural world is hibernating and so am I.

Breaking Free

My Friday quote comes from Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth, pg 161.

The beginning of freedom from the pain-body lies first of all in the realization that you have a pain body. Then, more important, in your ability to stay present enough, alert enough, to notice the pain-body in yourself as a heavy influx of negative emotion when it becomes active.

My journey, the journey of becoming a writer, speaker and healer of hearts began with my own losses, my own grief and my desire to do something beautiful with the experiences I’ve lived through.

The Realization of My Life’s Work

0821091210

Today held an epifany moment for me. As I walked through my kitchen, sorting bills and preparing to pay them I paused by the refrigerator, covered in photos. My eye caught the magazine picture I had placed there long ago when I moved in. I’ve been in possesion of the magazine picture for approximately eight years or more. The picture is the scene of a woman writing on a computer on her deck, overlooking the water, a dog close by her side. When I cut that magazine picture out it was with the intention of “creating this life environment for myself”, working at home as a writer with a water view and a dog I loved. As my eye caught that magazine picture this morning, something within me shifted. It was an Ah ha moment.

We all have moments, weeks and years in our lives when pain, grief and loss overcome us. We move through our losses at the pace our hearts allow. For some healing comes more quickly than for others, there is no right or wrong when a heart is healing. The statement “Time Heals” was on my mom’s nurse tee shirt and I have found that to be true in my own life, with my own losses.

Home With God

Recently I was reading a passage from Neale Donald Walsch’s book, “Home With God” and I was struck by the words. His books are all messages from God/Spirit, if you have read any of his many books you are aware of this. The passage that grabbed me follows. It leaves much to think about as we go through our day and life.
