Forgiveness 2

“Her Name Is Forgiveness” This Messenger of Love brings a wave of forgiveness that washes over me. It starts as a stream engulfing my toes, rising like a shift tide until it reaches the top of my head. I realize I’m the one who has been unforgiven all these years. I now extend forgiveness to everyone in my life, including me.

My blessing to you: May you forgive yourself. May you let go of any grievances, regrets, or judgments you’ve held against yourself, sending love and compassion to your limitations, fears, and blocks. May you love and forgive every part of you with the realization that you were always doing the best you could.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the divine gift that you give yourself. From this practice of forgiveness, you help heal the world.

I've been experiencing a lot of physical pain. This has deepened my commitment to releasing all blocks to forgiveness. For as I forgive myself, I extend forgiveness to all.

With Love

I choose to treat myself with love. This is a choice I’ve made after a week of intense pain due to shingles. Rather than focus on the pain, I’ve decided to focus on love—love and appreciation for my body, for God, for color, and all the blessings that surround me. My husband has slipped into his wings as he attended to my needs ahead of his own. In celebration, I pulled out my alcohol inks and hair dryer last night. I choose to treat myself with love, because this is the most powerful thing I can do.

My blessing to you: May you treat yourself with love. May this be a habit you adopt, whether challenged physically or emotionally. May you forgive yourself for any limitations, shortcomings, or judgments. May you treat yourself with loving kindness and acknowledge the healing power of love.

Forever Young

“She Is Forever Young” She possesses the dignity of angels. Dark skies don’t darken her mood; they merely give her more reasons to appreciate the sun. Disappointment doesn’t settle in her bones. It passes through her like a rain cloud drifting across the sky. She is young at heart, eternally young. Hope and joy are her daily companions, because every dawn opens the window on all that is new and fresh and waiting to be discovered.

She offers you a blessing: May you, too, be young at heart, open to the miracles that surround you, open to the miracle of you.

Her Name Is Elegance

“Her Name Is Elegance” She seldom uses profanity, for she knows the power of her words. Her outer world has grown from the peace within. She imagines she is connected to spirit via intercom. Every word she utters, every action she takes is recorded somewhere…All her ancestors, from the Viking warriors to the French Huegonats , are aware of her and the choices she makes. Perhaps the connection is just in her imagination, yet it is enough to lift her eyes toward the light that she may be proud of her every word and action.

Her name is Elegance, for in her heart, she is anointed.

She offers you a blessing: May you step up to your highest level. May you take pleasure in being the best version of you, as if what you do matters to the generations that preceded and the generations that are to follow; because it does matter. May you remember, always, that you matter.

You Matter

My latest Messenger of Love sends you a message: "Always remember that you matter."

At times, you might feel that what you do and say are of little consequence. You are not the one to judge your worth or impact on others. Even though you might have made poor choices in the past, your life matters.
