A day of rest.....

LETS ALL JOIN SOULS AND PLAN A DAY OF REST 2GETHER..... a SUNDAY.....I will come up with a sample agenda....
BUT we all have to plan the day....

we must LET everyone know that this is our PLAN... and give them our date....

we can get ready and talk back and forth on what the day looks like AND WE CAN SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY 2GETHER... DOING NOTHING -

BUT WHAT OUR SOULS DESIRE.....

SOME REQUIREMENTS (here is an example).
Pitcher of water ( add cukes, or lemon, or watermelon slice,) we will drink 6 glasses of water during our day...

thoughts ladies???

.... advice to be passed on (It's raining men")

 Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in diapers.

What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.

If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all up there.

Men are all the same - they just have different faces, so we can tell them apart.

 

The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years. Even in Biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.

DO YOU KNOW HER?

Her life was filled with requirements, must do’s, and all the other 
“THINGS”
that

others expected of her.

Who are these others? 

Why are they are the dictator of these necessities?

Ahhh,  she never questions, she just applies her talents for those who ask
expect
and 
demanded.

Who is this? 

Do you see yourself in this brief portrait?

Ahhh, yes?.....  is this you?

ahhh - It is me

it is myself

and

it is 
I.

Speaking love thru "gifts

This is something I have done so much – too much - and it is pretty much a terrible habit..

I base my relationships on the ideology of caring, cooperation, mutual understanding, being of service to someone, respect and most of all love…

How do I differentiate what lies beneath people's words, their reactions, or their silence?

" You give too much, you do too much, please, we do not want your gift.. I do not want your gift.."

Do I pause?

Is a “pause”  powerful: will it restore my ability to access my intuition? 

YES:

To be of service to someone, I must set aside my own agenda, open my heart and ask,

"What can I do for this person?" instead of, 

"What do I need to do for them so I feel better about me?" 

Will this allow me to connect heart-to-heart and to give with real love and compassion??

If I give in this way, maybe I won't feel depleted - hurt?????

As I am someone who neglects myself in favor of giving to others, I can instead choose to practice self-love to find balance.  

Am I not being my best self if I am constantly setting aside my own needs to the point of running my time, money or energy into the ground.

Take some time out of MY day for ME and only ME....

There is an utter brilliance you experience when you balance taking care of your own needs with being of service to others. 

As you begin to lead your life more from this place—self-love balanced with love for the larger "we"—your light will shine through. 

... My light is starting to shine....
