Bless this mess?

I radiate joy and share it with others. It is a time for laughter and singing and dancing. I bless everyone and everything.  My best friend likes to tell the story of her first impressions of me when we met in 6th grade. “When I first met Lela, I thought she was perfect…then I saw… Continue reading Bless this mess?

One I don’t understand

I flow freely and lovingly with Life. I love myself. I know that only good awaits me at every turn.  Why is “Life” capitalized in this affirmation? Is this another reference to God? I’m trying to wrap my head around Life as a proper noun and I get visions of frolicking through fields of wildflowers… Continue reading One I don’t understand

New meditation space

My good now flows freely. Divine ideas express themselves through me. I am at peace.  I have heard that as people age they become more extreme versions of what they already were. I don’t know whether to be concerned about this or not. It also made me wonder if hobbies taken up later in life… Continue reading New meditation space

Being a good mom

I allow the love from my own heart to wash through me, and cleanse and heal every part of my body and emotions.  I’ve written a lot about self-care and compassion, especially in terms of parenting. I’ve written about it back when I used facebook. I’ve written about it on this blog, and in the… Continue reading Being a good mom

The Water in the Glass

I am willing to release old, negative beliefs. They are only thoughts that stand in my way. My new thoughts are positive and fulfilling. I am so sad today, and for no clear reason. I could come up with reasons, but that would just be trying to find a shape for the sadness I feel. … Continue reading The Water in the Glass

You might even have the sugar and water already within your reach right now! What a huge advantage this is for you in… Continue reading Lemonade

WWLD?

I trust my Higher Self. I listen with love to my own inner voice. I release all that is unlike the action of love.  Before we moved away from San Francisco I wrote myself a letter promising that I would be me wherever I lived. “Interested and interesting” is how my husband likes to describe… Continue reading WWLD?

It’s been a year.

Welcome to my once a decade blog! Some of my posts from 10 years ago are pretty good. I sure was thoughtful and articulate back before mom-brain turned me into someone who forgets to finish her sentences half the  So why am I trying to do this again after 10 years, knowing how hard it… Continue reading It’s been a year.

To lie, or to disappoint?

I have reached that point in pregnancy where everyone either cleverly exclaims “Almost ready to pop!” or they ask “Are you excited?!” While the former conjures terrifying images I’d rather not imagine (seriously, what sort of sadist coined this phrase? Has any pregnant woman actually appreciated the “humor”?), I confessed to my husband today that… Continue reading To lie, or to disappoint?
