Shifting With Love

Do not opportunities
show up sometimes
in disguise?
Is it not your perception
that does the framing,
often putting situations
in a box,
when you need to expand
upon your thinking,
do you not often need
a push,
or stretch –
is it not comfort
that you fall back on,
might you be resisting
the next step?

There may be discomfort
in the growing,
as you try things on
for size,
yes, there is comfort
in the knowing
how any situation
may come to be –
but as you have traveled
upon your journey,
could you have pictured
where you are now,
have not some of the
greatest gifts
been those you would not
have known to choose?

What shows up to
help you shift
a way of thinking
or a course to take,
you may pull back,
you may retract
as you gather your
innate Strength –
but any challenge
or new perspective
may pave the way
for something new –
for do not new roads,
though they may be
bumpy,
do they not lead you
always back to You?

Be grateful for opportunities
to shift,
to look at yourself anew –
with Love,
embrace the growing,
the ever-expanding
wonder of You!

An Emergence of Love

Emerge.

Is not what lies dormant
in the winter,
now beginning
to emerge,
is not the wave
of migration,
beginning to move
to find a way,
following the sun,
the warmth,
the Light
that stretches from
an extended sleep –
to waking up,
to emerging,
to Be All
that it can Be?

What lies dormant
in you,
what do you wish
to dust off to find?
What gifts have you
kept to yourself,
that you might
share at anytime,
you have much that you
can offer,
a heart of Love
is waiting to expand,
might you see yourself
in a new way,
in this new season
might you emerge?

Take a chance,
make a leap,
continue growing
steady and true,
check in with your
heart
to see the path
that is right for you –
as you open to
the Truth
of Who You Are,
shining in the Light –
keep going,
keep growing,
embrace the You
that is beginning
to emerge.

And when you think
you are where
you need to be,
you have reached a goal –
is there not always
more growing,
is there not more
knowing,
more ways to play –
when you set your sights
on exploring
infinite ways
to express Love –
is not every moment,
every day,
an opportunity
for you to
emerge?

See the Light.
Be the Light.
Let the Love
in you emerge.
Standing in the
Light of Love,
Be seen.
Be Love.

The Power of Compassion

20180410 XPicture

Compassion.

And do you not
feel the waves
of Love
surrounding what
you hold in
the space of
compassion?

Is not compassion
powerful –
it need not compare
or judge,
you need not look
at what you think
is “right” or “wrong”,
is not compassion
simply opening up
your heart
to Be with Love –
might you start
by feeling compassion,
might you begin
with compassion
for you?

Does not compassion
help you cut cords,
to release what
you may fear,
since Love reigns
in compassion,
does it not call
on your inherent
Strength –
do you not sense
the freedom,
the power,
that compassion
manifests –
can you not Love
and simply Be Love,
when You Are
compassionate?

Is there not allowance
in compassion,
might you find
acceptance, too –
you need not agree
on tenets that
do not feel right
to you,
but does not forgiveness
dance on the edges
where compassion
paves the way –
is it not Love
that sets you free,
can you send Love
and compassion
to yourself
and others everyday?

Let compassion be
your guide,
let it open
more doors
to Love.
With Strength and
Courage,
Be compassion –
see and embrace
the Love that you are
made of.

Embracing Love

20180409 XPicture

4/09/18

Step into the fold,
come out of
the cold,
can you let the
warmth of Love
envelop you
in its loving arms?

Are you not at Home
in this loving place,
do you not belong
in this sacred space,
can you let Love
help you remember
Who You Are
and All Is Well?

Step into Love,
it is Who You Are,
when you are fearful
remember Love Is Here,
your loved ones,
Guides,
Angels
are always near,
may you find comfort
knowing Love Is you,
does not your heart
tell you this is True?

Step into Peace,
always at your side,
with Strength and Courage,
you need not hide,
Love is your Truth,
your Guiding Light –
walk in the Light
that lights up the way,
when you follow
the Light of Love,
are you not Home
every step of the way?

Step into Love,
step into the fold.
Be surrounded
by the Embrace of Love.
You never walk
this Journey alone.
You are always
and forever
Home.

Growing Gratitude

20180403 XPicture

4/03/18

Is it not when
there is resistance,
that you often
experience the
greatest growth?

Can you look
with new eyes
at what gets
under your skin,
what irritates,
what motivates you
to move,
to shift,
to find another way?

Do you not get
into creative flow
when the river
that you have
come to know,
comes to a dam,
a blockage
that at first
impedes your progress,
until you find
another (better?) way –
like the river,
there is no stopping you,
so why not go
with the flow,
that flows within you
and work with
or around,
giving Gratitude
to what you resist?

Might you be willing
to try new things,
might you find support
from others who sing
a similar song to yours,
might you agree
on a chorus of Love
to sing along,
when voices rise together,
singing with the
Strength and power
of One,
can you not find
common ground,
when you resist
or work around,
does it not sometimes take
a bump in the road,
to find a new path,
a different way?

Give Gratitude
for what stretches you,
makes you change,
helps you to grow.
As you seek comfort
from discomfort,
do you not gain wisdom
that you did not know?
Keep growing,
keep evolving,
you shine every
step of the way –
for what never changes
is that You Are Love.
You are a magnificent jewel
becoming brighter,
ever lighter –
with Love as your polish,
shine your Light of Love
today.

Fly Free

20180402 XPicture

Fly free.

What do you wish
to untether,
to release
into Love –
are you not always
in your natural state
when you allow
what you dream of?
You can not let go
or lose,
what fills up
and expands your heart,
is it not the Love
that gives you wings –
fly free.

Be courageous,
be brave –
is Strength not
always part of you,
like an eagle soaring high,
do you not imagine
you soaring, too?
Can you surrender
into the Love
that brings the wind
beneath your wings,
can you have faith
that All Is Well
and fly free?

You may accept
or fight change,
as change is constant,
what will you do –
you have choices,
are you not evolving,
with all of the experiences
in Earth school,
when in doubt
might you choose Love,
does not Love always
choose You –
is it not Love
that fuels your dreams
to fly free?

Fly free,
let go
of what no longer
serves you.
Love stays in
your heart,
Love always celebrates
You.
Celebrate Love –
Be the Truth
of Who You Are.
You Are Light.
You Are Love.
On wings of Love –
fly free.

Strength, Courage and Gratitude

20180329 XPicture

3/29/18

Is it not the human
way
to think that one needs
to overcome
adversity,
strife,
is not struggle a badge
to be worn,
to be honored?

Yes, you learn much
when you deal with
challenges,
and there are struggles
you cannot help
but experience,
but when you feel
strong,
courageous
and sometimes
at Peace –
how do you recognize
these tenets
of You?

Can you be proactive,
moving forward with
Strength –
not as a reaction
to fear,
but as what shows
you the way,
can you find Peace
when you know
You Are That –
are you not Love
when you recognize
your own Strength?

Are you not wide-eyed
in wonder,
when you see
You Are Courage –
stepping into your power,
your magnificent Truth,
can you sense Peace
when it is Courage
you choose to Be,
are you not Love
when Courage shines
its fearless Light?

And is it not Gratitude
that shows you the way,
that amplifies these
Vibrations of Love –
you may be familiar
with struggle,
you may recognize fear,
but what are your Essences,
in the heart of You,
are they not Strength,
Courage
and Gratitude?

With Love at your core,
do you not recognize
Peace –
your human world may be
spinning,
but Peace is steady
and still,
when you shift your perspective,
can you not always
find You,
are you not Love
and does that not
remind you,
therein lies Peace?

Let the Essences of You
lead you forward.
There is no need to run
from what you think
you are not.
Choose Love,
Be Peace
and the rest will follow.
Be You,
Be Strength,
Courage
and Gratitude.

Imagining You

20180318 XPicture

3/18/18

“What if I . . . ”

Is there not possibility,
potential,
that is created when
you dream,
when you imagine
what if this,
or if that –
can you not lift
yourself out
of any current reality
that you have also
dreamed,
created,
surrounded yourself in?

Is there not a
tunnel vision,
that begins to
close in,
when your expectation
or outcome
of a usual routine
settles in,
but is your mind
not so creative
and can not your heart
help lead the way,
when you daydream,
when you imagine,
where do you want
to go play?

“What if I . . . ”

Can you put yourself
in places
that you never thought
you would see,
can you create
alternate endings
to any story
that you play in,
can you be open
to seeing,
a different Light
a different view,
can you tap in
to the wonderful
Possibilities of You?

What if,
imagine that –
can you be willing
to visualize –
and in that opening
of a door,
do you not see
there may be more,
is there not possibility,
potential,
that is created when
you dream,
are you not a
creative being,
manifesting the
Miracle of Love?

Imagine.
Dream.
Be inspired
by All You Are.
Create.
Expand.
Remembering You Are
always, always
Love.

Taking Chances

20180313 XPicture

3/13/18

Take a chance.
Be bold.
Let go of the usual,
the familiar,
where your comfort
usually is,
is not a step
into the unknown –
is that not where
possibility lives?

Can you not learn
so much about you,
when you surprise
your very self,
giving you the opportunity,
to show you
Who You Are,
might not stretching here
or reaching out there,
help you expand,
evolve
and grow,
as a constantly creative
force,
is this not what you
innately know?

Yes, the soul is ever-evolving,
though the human side
says “wait,”
your logical side wants
to add it all up,
with expectations
to be made,
but your soul knows
what is beyond
any outcome,
or what you think
you might expect,
can you trust in Love,
can you take a chance,
can you let go of fear,
as you find the Joy
in each and every step?

Take a chance.
Be bold.
Let go of comparing
where you have been.
The past is not where
you are right now
and the future you
cannot predict.
When you feel your
energy,
your power,
when you see the
present You –
take a chance,
be bold,
have confidence,
have Faith,
in the Magnificent
Love of You.

Fearless

20180306 XPicture

3/06/18

Do not sharp reactions
break through the surface,
so that you may see
they dwell somewhere,
you can observe,
reflect upon
where this came from,
is not understanding
what you focus on –
as you work out
the cause,
the effect
of life’s lessons,
might you always include
and surround it all
with Love?

Do not reactions
come from fear,
that waits and watches
keeping you safe
and near,
fear helps build intricate patterns,
that you may follow
and not have to think
about what to do –
when fear raises its head,
so you may look it
in the eye,
can you see that fear
loves you, too,
and does not fear
look for Love from You?

Yes, with Love at your
core,
can you also embrace fear –
pulling all parts of you close,
drawing all aspects of you
near,
can you thank fear
for its service,
as it thought it was
keeping you safe?

Is there not a part of you
that is afraid,
that Love may not be able
to penetrate
walls you have put up,
barriers that fear has helped
you make –
Love does not need to come in,
does it not begin
from within –
does not Love melt away
any barriers
that fear may have placed
you in?

It may feel scary
to face your fears,
but All Is You
and You Are Love.
As Love is your essence,
can not Love embrace
it All?
Every aspect
of You
comes from Love
and is All That Is.
Love Is You.
You Are Love.
Love Is fearless,
and so are You –
as you remember
You Are –
so very, very Loved.
