Teach me to forgive myself so that my heart will open to forgive others.

Free me from all forms of guilt, self-doubt, anger and fear so that I will know the true meaning of trust.

Remind me of the good I am, the good I have, the good I deserve.  

Let good be the filter through which I see the world and all other people.

Open my mind dear God so the all that I thought was wrong can be transformed into wisdom and power.

Teach me God. 

Heal me.

Remind me that all that I am, all that I have, all that I have seen and heard and known are blessings of your love.

Today, I rest in Thee.

And So It Is!

Today I am struggling to forgive myself for ___________________

There are times when things must get worse before they get better.  2014 is one of those times.  Sometimes it is not until the muck and mire are so deep, so thick that we realize there has got to be a change!  2014 is that time, a healing time.  When we have been creative and crafty about finding quick fixes to long-standing problems, we become adept and willing to put up with things that we should have let go long ago.  2014 will not be a time of quick fixes.  It is the time we are being called to recognize and acknowledge that there is a deeper problem, a bigger issue that must be addressed.  2014 is the time that is calling us to move away from quick fixing and move into the process of healing.  2014 is a year when dreams can be realized and success can be found IF you focus on what is true and important then, focus on the work required within yourself to bring about change, growth and healing.

 

Healing is not at all like fixing.  Fixing is about doing whatever you can to cover up, disguise and avoid the problem or issue.  It is an attempt to deal with a problem that will probably work . . . temporarily.  Healing on the other hand cuts to the core; goes to the bone as the way to eliminate the cause of the problem . . . permanently.  Band-Aids fix.  They come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors that will cover the problem, the hurt or the wound.  A Band-Aid will keep a boo-boo clean and of sight.  Stitches will also fix, close up the problem and make it bearable.  If, however, there is an infection under the stitches, the wound must be opened; the infection cleaned out and the cause of the infection treated.  Healing is about getting to the root and core of the problem in order to eliminate the infection.  For this reason, healing can be a great deal more painful than fixing but think of it this way; once there is a healing, the problem goes away . . . for good.  2014 is a healing year, a time to get to the root cause in order to heal your mind, heart and spirit.  It is a time to explore you, within yourself and tell the absolute, radical truth about what you see, feel and discover.  2014 is a year of introspection and tying up the loose ends that have been nipping and gnawing on your ability to experience and express peace, joy and unconditional acceptance of yourself and everyone else. 

 

2014 is "the" year - - - to clean up and clear out every aspect of your mind, your heart and your life. Key words for this year are Think, Seek, Focus and Live in Truth.  2014 is a time to heal.
