Tears To You
It seems we all have bits of kryptonite embedded within ourselves that undo us, or one close to us in order that love may flow freely. Usually it is something we don’t like or appreciate about ourselves. My kryptonite is tears. Tears are how I release powerful feeling whether it is delight, anger, panic or appreciation of beauty. I eventually came to see my tears as Holy Spirit speaking to me or at the very least trying to get my attention. One day, not very long ago, tears were bubbling and over flowing with no obvious reason. I was willing to listen to what the tears needed to...
Read MoreSelf Love Has The Greatest ROI
I am beginning to realize the many gifts of the wedding season of last year. Now that I have rested, regrouped and breathed deeply into this new year I can look back in great wonder. I was guided again and again into Self Love as the answer to my overwhelm, my tired, my juggling……..and it worked every time. The ROI (Return On Investment) of Self Love is surely more than 100% if that is even possible to measure. I have mentioned before how much Spirit loves to speak to my heart through poetry. These two poems somehow answered my heart’s silent question of “Is it...

I can feel the realigning of focus within me. I don’t yet really know what my writing and practice will look like on a daily basis but I feel excited rather than worried; delighted rather than fearful. This is a huge shift from last year at this time when I was feeling the uncertainty of transition and my committed practice of self love and blog felt like such a crazy leap in the dark. I mean, practicing self love is scary at the best of times but doing it right out in the open was unprecedented. I leapt but was, quite frankly, terrified I would quit, falter or make a complete fool...
Read More12. Day 18: On Fear & Love
A word on fear: “Ashes to Ashes” Two black coals nearly spent of flame; my eyes can’t touch the Shekinah Glory without disintegrating into feather ash. Fear is the fire that causes the near silent conflagration. A word on love: “Can You Hear Me Now?” How do you set an intention of growth and abundance without growing abundantly? How do you set an...
Read More12. Day 14: Easy As Pi
I couldn’t not comment on today’s date of 3-14-15, the biggest Pi Day (in USA) of them all. And how perfect to remind myself (and you) that Love is just as easy. Delicious or mathematical as is needed. Or let’s just say that yesterday’s pickle is today’s relish. My blocked sensibilities melted away in light of the warmth and welcome of Holy Spirit’s Voice. I realized two very important things about my writing and my poetry. One, is that I can write ekphrastic poetry given time and permission from within. The second, more important thing I learned...
Read More12. Day 9: I Brake For Poetry
“Nobody’s Fool” Even a dog gets thirsty and knows how to wake himself up and trot to the water bowl. How is it I forget each time I fall asleep how to wake myself up and trot over to the Beloved to sip, soak and be drenched by His love presence? I am a forgetting, fool, that’s why. Lucky my Beloved planted His holy wellspring deep within my breast so that I never have to trot very far to receive that sublime whiff of the holy christening which reminds me to open my mouth and surrender to the drink of Life. Once more I am saturated in Love and am nobody’s fool...
