Fully Alive....!

image:beautifulfreepictures

As we move into this new year a quote from Saint Irenaus comes to mind: "The Glory of God is man fully Alive". As a woman and as a human being who is a part of the great and wonderful Web of Life, I re phrase the quote as: The Glory of God is All Creation Fully Alive.

My focus is on the words..."Fully Alive"....what is it that makes me fully Alive? What would being fully Alive look like? What steps could I take to begin that transformation? What stops me from even beginning the process?

Jesus said: I have come that you may have life and have it to the FULL! What would life to the full look like for me... for you?

As much as I'd like to say "I'm going to....", it's not me doing anything..ego kicking in again.. it's more about me being a space where God's wonderful energizing love can flow to all I meet. See on a daily basis how blessed I am...and do all I can to bless those I encounter.

There is Good News in our World...There is Good News in our daily lives...let's be that Good News and reflect it in our lives! We must be the change we seek!

Sing your heart song...

As we begin 2011, may our lives ring with the song of love, for ourselves, and for all those of our Earth Family.  May the beauty and fruitfulness of Mother Earth energize and delight us and may we in turn.. give thanks by honoring the needs and space of all Beings.

May diversity and difference be seen as rainbows of light offering us new perspectives and ways of seeing what we thought we knew and understood fully!

May we take the time to be with ourselves and those we love..May we rekindle our energies sitting, walking, dancing gently on Mother Earth.  May the birds join in our singing, may the stars light up our eyes and may all  creatures come to know that we know and love them as family.

May we let the past be past and feel the freedom and joy of a New Day...A New Beginning....May we be the change we wish to see in our world...

May Love who dwells within us...hold us, guide us, sustain us, as we freely share who we are with all...within the web of Life.  Live....Love....Laugh!!!  We are the ones we've been waiting for....!

We are the only ones who can Sing Our Heart Song!  Every song is needed...every song of love can heal and bring new life.... Let us be flowing channels of love...healing each other and Mother Earth.

Singing our heart Song..will bring new life...a life of peace....joy...love and forgiveness....wrapped in the Beauty and Splendor of a healthy and renewed Earth Mother.

Sing....

Sing your song....

As we approach the new year may we have the grace and strength to let the past be past and, as  snow showers a blanket of newness over the Earth, may we walk into the new year singing our song of newness...

As the bright red of Cardinal catches our eye and warms our heart, may we allow the bright light of Divine Love within each of us to shower all we meet with Love; expressed in our own unique colors and ways.

May we too...at last...give ourselves the love, forgiveness, care and respect that is ours, Gift of our Creator.  

As we walk in newness, singing our song..may we know the joy of living life fully with and among Our One Family.

Sing....Sing....Sing....! and know.. in doing so.. we make a difference!!

Let your light shine...

The peaks...

When I am tempted to mire myself in the difficulties of life...how good it is to remember the peaks...the good times...those special moments when I knew I was not alone...even when it felt like it.  Those times when frustration and impatience turned to laughter and when tears of sadness were honored and brought gentle relief.

We have so much to be thankful for...lets not forget to take the time to count our blessings..even in the midst of a blizzard.  We may soon realize that we are at a peak...rather than a valley... it all depends on how we see what we see!!

Snow Blanket...

After a wonderful week with my sister, I came home Christmas Day due to the prediction of a large snow storm for Sunday.. the day I was set to travel home.   As I type it is snowing a blanket of white everywhere I look.  Soo glad I am not driving in it and can enjoy it as it falls.

May snow days give us time to rest and be at peace.  For those who have to do snow removal and be out in blizzard conditions, may you know peace and clarity as you do what you need to do. My prayers are with you.

As stores declare end of Christmas sales.. let us declare with our words and our actions that the Christmas Season has just been born and bless each new day with words and acts of kindness and love!!
