The Peace of Solitude
Nature knows you.
She holds you.
No judgement, only unconditional acceptance of who you are, where you are, exactly as you are.
You can smile when her clouds part and the sun beams grace your cheeks.
You can stand on top of the boulders and scream your rage into the waterfalls rushing thunderous crashes.
You can weep in a field of wildflowers, because once too- you were as wild and free as them.
It’s all composted within her.
All she knows is the innate rhythm and cycles of the seasons.
The decay, the inward wait, the rebirth and the fertile flourishing.
She mirrors to you a gentle reminder of your own nourishment.
Your own ebbing and flowing.
“Be gentle”, says her breeze.
“Be resilient”, says her tree branches.
“Be bold”, howls her wolves.
”Be mindful”, sings the birds.
Solitude nurtures Peace.

Take A Moment To Ground Yourself
Sit with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Feel the earth below you. Feel your connection to the earth below you. Know that you are part of this creation, you belong here, and you have purpose here. You are valued. You are special. And you are loved.
Bring your hands to heart center, and bow in reverence to your Creator.
Deep breath in. Long breath out.
Stay here in the silence for another moment or two, or until you feel grounded.

Those little moments
Suddenly everything lifts, a little break from the weight and the chaos that life can bring.
Walking through a field with my dog, humming my favourite songs, enjoying the sunshine, watching a small butterfly land in the grass and suddenly I can breathe! That heaviness in my chest and that twisting feeling in my stomach is still there, so is all the pain, but for now at least, it’s not all there is, for now there’s a softening and a lightness alongside all the struggles and in these little moments I find hope, I find joy, I find peace.

Day Off: why #Anxiety ?
Today my schedule is open, like, this is NOT the norm. However, I woke with a drive to GET GOING! So, whilst half asleep, I started the chore of making myself ready to make something happen! But as I briefly sat to fashion myself, I had a thought telling me to take seven deep breaths.
Upon the completion of this slowing down instruction, I returned to my room, sat still, and told the Lord, “I am actually tired, really tired.” #honesty to God and self can move mountains. I therefore returned to bed and started reading and studying a wonderful Bible verse. Once that was complete, I viewed my weather app: 90 degrees heat wave. Mind you, I was heading outdoors to work in an open field.
Did the Lord part a sea for me, this morning? Did the Lord protect his child from the heat today? Did the Lord intervene by stopping me from making myself habitually busy? Did the Lord let me know that this day is reserved for me to enjoy his divinely gifted day off? So I say, #Depression #Anxiety and #Guilt , you can leave, for #busyness can take a backseat—until tomorrow—because this day is reserved for stillness by my Heavenly Father!
Yes, to you, #TheMighty #Christian , we can be #christ like and sleep on a wind-blown and tossed about boat, especially in the midst of the storm(s) called #Life . How? Well, we can take heed to obey Jesus’s words inviting us to “abide in Him” and “follow Me.” And that I will do!
Today’s Agenda:
I am heading to the back of the boat because it is time for me to take a nap!
