#37 – NEVER-ENDING STORY

SELF-CRITICISM; THE WOUNDED EGO; UNNECESSARY DRAMAS

GUIDANCE

The Oracle’s message: There is a story woven through the imperfect fabric of life that tells of hurt and loss, rejection and humiliation, self-loathing and arrogance, and all manner of suffering born of unnecessary dramas. It is the old story whose refrain is that you cannot do this, must not go there, should not say that—lest your world come crumbling down. Today, know that none of this is actually true. The sky is not falling. The voice you hear is just a small, scared, conditioned part of you that got stuck in a lie, wants to protect you, and needs to be seen as a victim. Love that lost piece of you. Fear is all it knows. Distorted guidance is preventing you from being true to yourself. You are not your story, and the narrator is simply the voice of your fearful part, small and vulnerable and easily soothed. Relationship message: Sometimes your heart enters into a contract with another that results in pain, not because of abuse or neglect but for other, more complex reasons. Shame, fear of intimacy, and low self-esteem are the greatest challenges to the success of a relationship. Consider how valuable this knowledge is, however. Right now you have an opportunity for important healing, but you must reflect on the stories you weave about love, connection, abandonment, rejection, and loneliness. Not only do you need to begin a new story; you need to forgive yourself for telling yourself the old ones. Have compassion for the part of you that believes all those narratives. None of them were ever true anyway. Prosperity message: Fear, envy, procrastination, greed, and the perception of victimhood could all be active in your life at this moment. Are you comparing yourself with others, thinking their success should be yours? Maybe you’re afraid of all the good that is coming your way, so you step out of your lane, totally aware of what you’re doing but seemingly powerless to stop yourself? Are you back where you started, or in a situation that reminds you of past failures? Financial insecurities scaring you? You must learn to love yourself through missteps and sabotaging moments. Use criticism constructively right now. Better yet, stop telling this story altogether. Make up a new one. The universe loves you deeply and will wait for you to figure that out. Tell a new story and success is all but guaranteed. You can do it!

First week away….

Well, it’s officially been a week since I’ve gone on a hiatus from Facebook.  I will have to admit it’s been a lot more difficult than the first several times I did it.  I’ve also found that I mainly use both my personal computer and phone for accessing social media and therefore don’t use them nearly as much.

I do miss the people I used to interact with on a nearly daily basis.  The pictures that I used to share on social media still get posted on WordPress, but not nearly the same as getting lots of “likes” and comments that the book would afford.

I have done a whole lot more reading and writing and I think that’s a good thing.  In addition, I’ve started on a more disciplined regimen of devotionals, which I had gotten away from in recent years.

I finally received a call-back about a part-time job I had applied for over a month ago.  Turns out it’s down to between one other person and I,,,,I should find out tomorrow whether or not I got the job.  Then I’ll be able to share exactly what the job entails.  I realized that would be more fulfilling to do with a larger audience, but a hiatus is a hiatus…..lol

Seven days down and thirty-nine more to go – I got this.

Deep Freeze…

 

#26 – DEEP FREEZE

“EVERYTHING HAS ITS SEASON. NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT ACTIVITY ON HOLD WHILE YOU REST.”

UPRIGHT

The cold winter beckons you to slow down and put a “freeze” on things that are not yet ready to bloom. It’s time for regeneration and hibernation. Forgo ambitious activity. A “pregnant pause” al- lows ideas to gestate; projects to shift and change; and relationships to go through a dreamy state of being, not going any- where—not needing to. This is also a time to put all your arguments on ice. Nothing beneficial will come from any of them. Self-care is the most important activity now . . . so reflect, read a good book, or get a massage. Rest and dream.

Nobody Knows…

Nobody Knows…. lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don’t know where I belong
No I don’t know
But I’ve been hanging on
For too long
‘Cause no one really knows me, at all
I’ve been spending time
‘Cause time’s on my side
And if I make it home
When our worlds collide
‘Cause no one really knows me, at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I don’t know where I belong
No I don’t know
But I’ve been hanging on
For too long
‘Cause no one really knows me, at all
So help me find my way
The way I came from
‘Cause I’m feeling lost and afraid
You better not be too far gone
Oh, have I been so wrong
Missed the song
Still I don’t know where I belong
No I don’t know
Because no one really knows me, at all
Yeah, no one really knows me, at all

Faith in the Present Tense…

 

rose-631950

From this morning’s devotional reading:

I read this morning that when Jesus encountered the disciples on their walk to Emmaus, they spoke of their faith in the past tense: “We trusted.” (Luke 24:21)  Jesus responded to them, “O fools, and slow of heart to believe.”

Let us never put our faith, as these disciples did, in the past tense – “We trusted.”  But let us ever say, “I am trusting.”

The Song of a Bird in a Winter Storm

The soft, sweet summer was warm and glowing,

Bright were the blossoms on every bough:

I trusted Him when the roses were blooming;

I trust Him now….

Small were my faith should it weakly falter

Now that the roses have ceased to blow;

Frail were the trust that now should alter,

Doubting His love when storm clouds grow.
