"Sharing Rainbows"

Sharing Rainbows is a wonderful and positive practice
that my amazing daughter and I share on a regular basis.
It is our special way, (and in our own words), of connecting,
communicating, and inspiring (each other), and hopefully others
in our lives.
Even though we live far apart, it is a heat-warming thing
for us to do -together- and it makes me so very happy.
Bless your heart Jessica, thank you for doing this,
for making me so proud, and for making such a positive difference.
I love you. Dad.

"Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down."

In times of uncertainty, doubt, and sadness;
I remind myself of the importance of,
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

When I Am confused, alone, and feeling lost;
I must stay present, at peace, and in the moment,
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

When I Am unsure, indecisive, and afraid;
I must trust in my universe, my blessings and my beliefs,
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

When I Am feeling empty, pain, or disappointment;
I must look around me, recognize the beauty, and all that is good,
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

When there is darkness, or feelings of hurt or despair;
I can remain positive and grateful, and see (clearly) the light;
For every - thing, always happens for the right reason, and as it should.
There is meaning, purpose, a path to walk, and there most certainly is..

"I Am. Always. Good. Enough."

I Am always, and in all ways, at my very best;
Believing, that I Am. Always. Good. Enough.

When a doubt, or disappointment appears in my world,
I must remember, that I Am. Always. Good. Enough.

Seeing a challenge, a set back, or a worry in my day,
only serves to remind me that I Am. Always. Good. Enough.

Feeling alone, uneasy, or afraid in my life,
is relieved, in the knowledge that I Am. Always. Good. Enough.

Hearing criticism, negativity, or hurtful things,
are "let go" (in forgiveness) when I realize that I Am. Always. Good. Enough.

Staying in balance, with joy, happiness and love in my heart,
comes only when I free my spirit, in celebration, and in practice, with the motto;
I Am.
Always.
Good.
Enough.

I am practicing "Being the Observer."
I am observing myself through my own eyes.
Observing how I act, how I react, how I am,
and how I deal with opportunities in my daily life.

I am observing my patience, my slow and deep breathing;
My ability to keep things quiet, soft, open, and in balance.
I am observing "Life" in perspective, simple, free,
and as it should be.

I am observing the incredible magnificence of Nature,
all of her beauty, her power, and her purpose..
I observe nothing intended, only allowed, and it is perfect in it's
effortless execution.

I am observing what is right here in front of me, here and present.
And I choose (not) to focus on what was behind, or in front, or not yet here.
For the future only unfolds as I am observing myself in this moment.
And in the next, and the next.

I am observing myself detached from outcome, judgment and conflict.
I am at peace.  My heart is full. Clear. And I am grateful.
