Today, I make room for all new opportunities in my life. I open my mind and my heart to all that is possible and I recognize that change is good and necessary in order to grow and become all that I can be. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

Today, I affirm that transformation is always manifest in my life, and I must remain open to receive it. In the past, procrastination, self-sabotage and doubt have all gotten in my way. Today, I cast those negative thoughts and actions to the wind and open my heart to manifest all good things in my life. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

When we give our heart to someone, we never expect it to get trounced on.
Marianne Williamson says in A Return To Love:
“Love is a participatory emotion.”
It takes two people to participate however… and if one isn’t showing up in that relationship… Well, it wasn’t love to begin with, was it?

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

It’s a grey day here on the river today, with snow falling for the past 24 hours now. I have been reflecting today on losing something you think you found but really didn’t. In the blink of an eye, the sun shone through the clouds and lifted my heart up into the heavens, and I basked it’s warm and comfortable embrace…
And then it slipped away, back through the clouds and left me bereft of understanding as to where it went. But, alas, I do know that nothing in life is ever permanent. We struggle with loss and grief, and naturally we should. We learn from loss and grief, and naturally we should. And then, we move on.
Life is the grand hall of learning. It shapes who we are, and leaves us all with indelible impressions, called memories, that give us pause to reflect. We can reflect on the sadness, but we must always remember the joy.
