It’s that time, for me to set some Birthday intentions. 🎂 Tomorrow I begin a new year. 💫 I remember thinking I knew everything as a teen 🤦🏻‍♀️, then I got to my twenties and realized I hadn’t a clue. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Early in life I felt light years ahead of my peers, but after tragedies and setbacks, I felt ages behind. Now, I simply feel connected. 🌎 We are all so deep in our human experience, no one is ahead or behind the other. We all have, and always will, fall short of glory. How magnificent it is though, to rest in the knowing that it is not our works that will save us from suffering, but Grace?!?! 🙌🏼 As I move forward and start this new chapter, I allow myself to receive the Grace my God has given me. 🎁 Putting my faith in Grace I am better able to connect with The cosmic consciousness, because in Grace there is no shame. If I try to approach Oneness while carrying the weight of shame on my shoulders, I feel unworthy, but once I release that, I can experience Unity so swiftly. On my mat, in the mountains, chatting with a stranger.... When I am living in Grace I am no longer living in comparison, or in separation. ☯️ I no longer have to avoid connection, because in Grace, in Unity, I cannot be less than. 💖I intend to appreciate the contrast that this life continues to display, to love the dark moments, as they enhance the bright. 🌓 I will continue to strive for a deeper sense of connection, a patient tolerance for that outside my preference, and an ever growing expansion of my comfort zone. I will continue to feed my spirit, by practicing and teaching of the Unity that is available to us. I give myself grace and receive the gift of Grace that has been given to me!
