as we step through the door\u2026
\nof a brand new year
\nthis,
\nthis is my plea
\nfor a
\npause \u2026<\/p>\n
to set my intention
\nto be
\nwith grace
\nat once loving and
\nKind
\nand always
\nwith
\nGratitude<\/p>\n
I wonder sometimes, If I just repeatedly write the same thing,
\nover and over
\nwill it reach, \u00a0the world
\nI wonder\u2026
\nI can\u2019t even tell you exactly when,
\nI anchored myself
\nsecurely in
\nmy heart
\nbut this for me
\nis home
\nhere is absolutely where
\nI rest
\nIn reverence<\/p>\n
this is not to say that each day
\nI go around with a smile on my face
\nand a song in my heart..
\nthis is not at all the case
\n(ha! my darling husband can certainly attest to that)
\nyet, everyday
\nI believe I do have a song in my head
\nand yes, a smile on my heart
\neven when it is faint
\nit is always
\nalways
\nthere
\nI do acutely find many
\nopportunities to say my
\nThank you\u2019s
\nwhether it is something wondrous that
\nbeautifies my day
\nor something quite small
\nthat catches
\nmy eye,
\nand always
\nmy heart
\nsometimes it may be
\nsimply that I have
\nmade it
\nto the end of the day
\nquite possibly,
\na really tough day
\nyet here I am
\nthankful
\nfor
\nrest<\/p>\n
to my credit I would say
\nI am not a negative person
\nI can not be gathered in by negativity
\nI
\nintentionally
\nshed it like water
\nfrom my feathers
\nI refuse to have it enter my house
\nmy body
\nand most especially
\nmy heart
\nIt has no place
\nhere<\/p>\n
I am Love
\nthis is my statement to the world
\nI am Love<\/p>\n
this is my shipping
\nand
\nmy receiving<\/p>\n
Yes, yes, we know you say
\nbut the world..
\nand this guy, that woman,
\nthese circumstances \u2026
\nhe said, she said, they looked\u2026<\/p>\n
but what if today
\nright now,
\nthis day
\nthis
\nnew
\nyear
\nyou pause
\nright here
\nright
\nhere \u2026
\nyou set your intention
\nto Love
\nto Kindness
\nand to
\nGratitude
\nfind any small thing in your
\nevery day
\nto just say
\nThank you
\nand yes
\nto say it,
\nto speak it
\nopenly
\nto offer it
\nand
\nto live
\nit<\/p>\n
on this
\neve
\nthe approach of a new year
\nif you have
\nheard my plea
\nif you have\u00a0taken this pause
\nwith me
\nmy Gratitude is to you, my friend
\nfor
\nconnection
\nfor kindness
\nand for
\nLove<\/p>\n
and while we are here
\njust before you go
\nlet me slip this
\nlittle gift
\never so gently
\ninto your pocket<\/p>\n
thank you<\/p>\n
now<\/p>\n
