Daily Affirmations: My Life Is Rich

September 9, 2015

Today I affirm that my life is rich. I am blessed with an abundance of all good things in my life and I am filled with gratitude for all that I have. I seek this day and every day to share my abundance with all who my life touches that I might make a difference for others, as some have made a difference for me. Riches are not monetary, riches are the blessings great and small that lift us up emotionally and bring us joy. Indeed, today and every day, I re-mind myself that my life is rich.

I Will Not Sell My Soul

September 8, 2015

My journey on the path of feminism, the goddess and women studies started decades ago. Poetry has often been an outlet of expression for me, since I was a child. The following is a piece from my journals expressing my thoughts on the divine feminine and my rights as a woman to be free…

DivinefeminineLMBI will not sell my soul
To the Devil
Because,
As a woman
I am not free
To be me;
I will fight for my honor,
The freedom
To be me.
I will not hide who I am,
Change my dress,
Or my ways;
I am woman,
I was born free,
Free
To be me.
I will not watch what I say,
How I speak,
Or to whom;
I will fight for my honor,
The freedom
To be me.
I will not inhibit my sensual self,
Squelch my desires,
Deny my lusts;
I am woman,
I was born free,
Free
To be me.
Hear me now
You who be that devil,
Who wants to take
Hold of me;
I am woman,
I was born free,
Free
To be me.

Daily Affirmations: Procrastination

Today, I will set a new course in my life and begin to make changes to when and how I do things that need to get done. I often procrastinate, wait until the last moment and this causes unnecessary stress on me. Instead of getting things done, I worry myself thinking about the fact that I have a list of things to do. Today, I will start with my list of things to do and get them done, one by one. There is nothing healthy or productive about procrastination. I affirm to release procrastination from my life, today and everyday, as I walk my daily path.

Quote of the Day: Pema Chodron

September 6, 2015

“The problem is that the desire to change is fundamentally a form of aggression toward yourself. The other problem is that our hangups, unfortunately or fortunately, contain our wealth. Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material. If you throw out your neurosis, you also throw out your wisdom.” ~ Pema Chodron

Daily Affirmations: I Am Not My Circumstances

September 4, 2015

Today, I re-mind myself that I am not my circumstances. Circumstances can weigh us down and cause us to feel as though our lives are filled with burdens and bad luck. So it is important to remember that these circumstances are temporary.

I choose to be happy in my life, despite my circumstances. I choose to live in the moment and find instances of grace and joy in the now, despite my circumstances. Circumstances will change, and yes, sometimes things will get worse before they get better, but I am not my circumstances. I am empowered in the knowledge that I am not my circumstances. As surely as bird will take flight, my circumstances will change.  Namaste… Pamela

Today, I re-mind myself that I must always stand strong in my commitment to making the world a better place. Whether through my work, or my creative endeavors, which frequently are one and the same, I strive each day to add some light into the world. This is my vocation, to be a conduit for change in ways great and small. Namaste… Pamela
