Years ago, when I first started writing Affirmations, I had been inspired by author Julia Cameron’s three books of Affirmations that she had published. Today’s Affirmation comes from her book, Blessings, Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life:
“My heart is a chalice for love. I am well loved. I open my heart to feel that I am loved. I allow myself to be saturated by love. I soften my heart and gently ask it to receive the love I encounter. I do not need to earn love. I do not need to work at love. I need only to allow myself to feel the love extended toward me. I need only to accept love to know that I am lovable. I choose to remember – and cherish – the ways in which I am loved. ” – Julia Cameron – Blessings, Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life

Sometimes you just need to poke around and look to find love hiding in the sweetest places…

Today I remind myself that there is beauty in everything I see. The old red barn slated to be torn down… beautiful. The spring flowers, bursting their way through winter’s muted palette… beautiful. Take the time to stop, look and listen. Love and life and all around me. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

I just love this song… Susan Tedeschi & husband Derek Trucks, the Tedeschi Trucks Band performing Midnight in Harlem, live from Atlanta:
Enjoy… I really think Derek Trucks is one of the most brilliant slide guitar players ever.

When I look to the skies, I often see very magical formations in clouds like the one below that looks a bit like a rainbow colored lightening bolt seen through the the bare trees:
When I see rainbows, my heart lifts up to the heavens in a sort of communion with the universe that fills me with joy.
It’s so important to find joy in the little things in life, as I have noted here in my Daily Affirmation today, and my Food For Thought post yesterday.
We go through life sometimes in a very numb state of mind, in that we forgot to look to the skies for rainbows or stop and smell the flowers.
I learned a long time ago that in being in the moment, you place your heart and soul in alignment with the opportunity to experience and feel joy. To be in the moment takes constant work and practice on living with an open mind and an open heart.
Awakening to joy, seeing rainbows is a great balm to the soul when we learn to look to even the littlest things to fill our hearts and minds with love and gratitude.
