Daily Affirmations: I Have Enough

July 4, 2021

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

July 3, 2021

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

April 22, 2021

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

The Love of Nature

April 10, 2021

Good Morning Everyone… Happy Saturday to all!

Dogwood is one of my absolute favorite flowering trees. It’s still a little early for dogwood where I am, this photo is from 2018, in my cousin’s backyard. When I can find dogwood that I can cut, I love to bring some in the house and have it in a vase. When I am lucky, it dries nicely with the flowers still on it.

My mother loved dogwood and I am certain, it’s another facet of the love of nature that she passed on to me. She had the most beautiful gardens when I was child. She would spend hours working in them.

Fond, happy memories sustain us all, for they affirm the life we’ve lived.

I wish you all grace, joy and some happy memories today…

Heavier to Carry

April 8, 2021

Greetings of the Day…

It is a bright, sunny morning here in Massachusetts’ North Shore. Every day, I’ve been watching over my bulbs that I planted last fall. So far, I have some crocus and some daffodils blooming, and lots of tulips coming up. I feel very protective of my spring bulbs. They are the first bulbs I’ve planted in about 10 years. I love to garden. The pandemic brought that joy back into my life.

I have to admit though, gardening was a lot easier when I was younger! These days, I take it a little slower and that’s just fine. Especially after a year of sitting around the house, in pandemic lock down mode. I’m zapped. The emotional toll of the pandemic is heavy. We go about our days the best we can, the numbers, those we have lost, hang quietly in the back of our minds, too much to convey.

Everyday, I just do the best I can, because that is all any of us can do, not just now, in the midst of the pandemic, but in life as well. We all have silent struggles, that we tuck away, or we work through them. It’s far better to work through those silent struggles, that to tuck them away, because when we tuck them away they became heavier to carry.

Don’t carry the struggles, let them open up, and blossom, and listen to what they are teaching you. Struggles are lessons. We’re here to learn. The lessons of the last year have been tough, but we’ve all learned to find joy in the midst.

I wish you all a blessed day…
