Daily Affirmations: Asking for Help

I’ve been in the place in my life many times that I need to ask for help. For some of us, just asking for help can be difficult. I know this, because it’s often been hard for me to ask for help in the past. Sometimes even now. I do what I can, when I can, to help others, because it is always the right thing to do…

In a world filled with uncertainty we can all strive to make a difference. With every step we take towards lending a helping hand we can all pray that our helping hand is welcomed. We seek not for acknowledgement for we know in our hearts what we do is right and good. That is the blessing we receive, the knowledge in our hearts that we have done something for someone else. May I give to someone who needs my help today.

Daily Affirmations: I am Grounded and Confident

We’ve all had those people in our lives, the ones who don’t know us, or get who we are, who form opinions about us, and yet they judge us. We may not be able to change that person’s mind about us, but we can protect ourselves from the negative energy they send our way.

Today, I re-mind myself that I am grounded and confident in who I am. My heart knows who my true self is. Nothing that anyone says or feels about me, can take that away. – Pamela Leavey

Daily Affirmations: I Have Enough

Prior to writing and publishing my own daily affirmations online since the late 1990’s, I found Julia Cameron’s affirmations from her book Blessings to be great inspiration. Here’s one of my favorites:

“When I count and encounter my blessings, I experience a sense

of fullness, safety, and satisfaction. I have enough. My heart is

bountiful. My life is dowried by rich companions and rewarding

experiences. As I experience the power and the goodness of the

universe, I experience my own power and goodness. I experience

flow, increased flow and expanded flow. Opening to receive this

flow, I become larger and more magnificent. I am part of a

grand and glorious design. A grand and glorious design is part of

me. I celebrate the grandeur of this fact with a humble heart.”

When Possibilities Bloom

From my poetry collection

When Possibilities Bloom, by Pamela Leavey

In the spring
when possibilities bloom 
with all the fervor 
of young love,
there is doorway, 
that opens,
for the soul that seeks
to search the buds
for the perfect 
flower. 
 
There 
in that doorway 
there
is the magic,
of hearts colliding 
with nature 
in the dance
of the fairies
on the hill 
with the sun setting.

I will wait there
until night falls
and watch 
the stars twinkle,
and you will 
hold me close,
until the dawn light
creeps up over the hill
and I awake,
from the dream.

Poem: Low Tide

I wanted to acknowledge Earth Day 2021 with a piece of poetry, written about my beloved Merrimack River. I am a child of the river. She runs in me…

Low tide—
river’s edge.
Still waters. 
A lone duck, draws
a line 
across the reflection. 

The water—
like glass ripples.
Beyond, spring bustles.
Some days
it even hustles
always calling for introspection
