Pause

 

Today, I invite you to pause, to breathe, to be.  Remember, on Thursdays, I want you to push pause and be aware of what is stirring within you.  It is tempting for me to just keep writing and piling on more information.  Rather than more words, today there is space. 

 

You can go back and re-read a previous day.

You can continue to work on your chart from last week.  Is there a moment this week when you showed love to your neighbor?  Is there a time you struggled with that?  How are you showing and sharing love with yourself?

You can review the speeches and wisdom from Dr. King or watch Shrek.

You can listen to music that makes your soul feel alive.

 

Today, the invitation is for you to do you.  Loving yourself is a relationship.  And every relationship takes time, attention, and intention to tend and grow and nurture.  Our love for others is a reflection of our love for ourselves.  So, before I type more, I am going to pause and pray that God awaken your imagination for what is needing in this moment for you to love yourself fully, unconditionally, and unceasingly ~ just as God loves you.

 

May it be so.  Amen.
