handle with care


even under the best of circumstances,
and the best of days….
*
we all take a few steps back
from where we would like to be.
*
i am finding the trick to
getting back into yourself
is finding compassion
in the human-ness,
and the needs that connect us.
we all want to be loved,
and we all want to be understood.
*
so tender soul, forgive yourself already.
because tomorrow is new day,
and you have the gift to choose again.
*
to choose from love.
*
life is nifty like that.
*
this is what comforts me on those shady days.
that and those little german gummy bears..

you’re timing is always so good :~) i came to work this morning feeling so down because i’ve taken a few steps back in my attempt to end a toxic relationship and your words soothed my weary spirit. i want to give myself compassion and be tender with myself but it seems i give it all away to the one who isn’t so thoughtful and caring to me… i’ve never experienced this before.. it’s so difficult. thank you for reminding me…

And a bottle of wine……..:)
And maybe a naked, full body massage administered by a sun-kissed, dark haired Adonis. AND gummi bears.

so i’m sitting in my favourite coffee shop on my day off totally not thinking about *him* because it’s a relationship best ended, i know it. but, of course i don’t really know it and today i’m missing and feeling angry for missing, angry for steps backward, and then angry for feeling angry - this post brought me to a full stop. how do you always manage to do this for me, a perfect stranger? thank you.

there is always such freedom in your words and perspective…and such great reminders of the strength found in gentleness. especially gentleness with ourselves.
another thank you for your soft brightness.

mmm.
thank-you for this today.
you were in these words my own little reminder from the universe.
basking in the spaciousness of being enough.

i now proclaim
that easy living and peace fill all our hearts!
that joy overflowing and bigger than the sea ooozes out and drenches our souls
that happiness and wonderful love surrounds us.
that the calm feeling, the calm spirit that lives within each of us takes us hostage and keeps us from being frazzled.
that we all give ourselves a break and say…. its okay not to know what it is we want and just go with it.
that we live in this present moment and enjoy every second of it.
and since i am a princess…. you can bet that it is done!!!
much love
