In the Spring we see everything as fresh and new… Our lives are constantly changing like the seasons, and today as Spring approaches I re-mind myself of all the wondrous possibilities that are blossoming in my life like the Spring flowers. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~~ Anaïs Nin

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

Awesome words of wisdom from His Holiness…
The practice of patience protects us from losing our composure. In doing that it enables us to exercise discernment, even in the heat of difficult situations. It gives us inner space. And within that space we gain a degree of self-control, which allows us to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner rather than being driven by our anger and irritation. ~~ His Holiness The Dalai Lama

Today, I re-mind myself that no matter what I am going through in my life, if I stay positive and focused, then I can still come out, like the old saying, smelling like a rose. Although a thorn or two might pierce my fingers, I have the gift of gratitude, keeping me going. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

“God does not look at a person who has made a mistake the same way we do. God does not seek to punish us when we have made mistakes, but to correct us. When we return to our right minds, loving unconditionally and unwaveringly, then the world itself will self-correct.” ~~ Marianne Williamson, The Shadow Effect
