My Anchor

May I anchor my heart in your Heaven,

May my truth come through you to me.

May I let the Solace of the Soul Divine

Reach me so I may be free to be with thee.

The waters I travel may be rough,

And the Storm may rage in the World.

But my anchor is always within the Light,

And God’s Spirit is always waiting there.

 

May I anchor my Mind in your…

I Will Not Should on Myself Today

How ready and able we are to beat up on ourselves! “I will not should on myself today” would benefit many as a new mantra.

Three big “shoulds” showed up for her. You’ve probably experienced at least one of them, in one form or another.

Angel Wisdom with Sharon Taphorn ~ Finding Balance

Take a deep breath and find your center

Once you are there, ground your energy first with the earth, and then with the stars, and then blend your heart with ours. From this still point of reference all things are possible. There is no doubt or fear here, for it cannot exist in the presence of love.

And let this be the very Breath you breathe

to Inspire and lift you.

 

This is a time of trials and through…
