Reconciliation

Published January 24, 2022 by tindertender

Remember the source of Love.
A loving action is all
you need to begin the process.
Reach out with a simple first step.

I pause and remember those I have left behind, my lost loves, and broken relationships. I will be brave and take a step toward healing the past. I will reach out with silent love but will expect nothing. For I know the most important mending needs to take place in my own heart. Looking back, I am filled with gratitude. For the good we had I am filled with joy. I will give myself all of the love that I ever needed. I will heal the past and I will be free.

She Is …

She is sensitive to emotion.
She possesses profound knowledge.
She is a healing force for others.

Balance has been achieved.
She rests in a harmonious state of consciousness.

Avoiding extremes, various combinations are tried until the right one is found.

She sees things as a whole.
A clear idea of what is happening is known.

She expresses her ideas in a positive way.
She is patiently persistent.

She has mastered the Self, and Fear, and Doubt.
She projects well-being, authority, and clarity.
She controls her emotions.

She is a Leader.

She is open with others so her actions are not interpreted as conniving or underhanded.

She receives good fortune, which she shares.
Her needs are met in abundance on all levels.

Obstacles are overcome.

Choosing A New Way Of Being

Published January 23, 2022 by tindertender

When I was young I lived deep in the forests of the PNW. No one was around for miles, the nearest town was 12 miles away.

My step-brother wasn’t very nice to the animals … he threw a rock and hit a squirrel in a tree, knocking it to the ground. I rushed to it, scooped up its stiff little body and headed home to nurse it. A few steps into my journey it woke up … frightened, and bit me hard. I shook my hand and arm feverishly but it would not release, at least right away.

People are sort of like that brother, and the squirrel.

Someone knocked me out of my tree a time or two and yes, after awhile it became ‘bite the hand that hurts you, AND the hand that’s trying to help you’ … and why? Fear … an “I’m going to get them before they can get me” mentality.

We must learn how to stop biting each other. And stop throwing rocks at each other.

Change

Published January 23, 2022 by tindertender

You are transforming.
Let go of the past.
Embrace the Light and
Joy of this new day.

Today I embrace transformation. I have the courage to let go of the past. I will eliminate the negatives in my life and make room for all things positive and beautiful. I can choose to grow and I know it is I who must do the choosing. I give thanks for this new day, a new start, and a new life.

Investigate

Published January 23, 2022 by tindertender

“No, I’ll look first.”

Too many people blindly follow others and in many situations we can find it easier to go with the flow, to trust in other people and even to follow orders. But Alice does not do this – not until she has thought it through for herself. She may be impetuous, adventurous and curious, but she is also sensible, cautious and enquiring. Alice remembers the good, commonsense advice she has learned through hearing stories of others’ mishaps – and right now, you must be like Alice.

Check something carefully before going ahead. You are being encouraged to take a daring new path of action, and while everything is most likely well, you still need to take responsibility and remember to be your own guardian and caretaker. Look over the details, check the packaging, be sure to know what is in the fine print, and ask questions about the arrangement or the offer which you are about to enter into or accept.

If, like Alice, you find there is nothing alarming or hidden about the arrangement, by all means go ahead. However, do not follow orders or blindly do what you are told. Investigate, decide, and if you go ahead, be prepared for unexpected changes when you sign, start, connect or decide to advance. There is always an element of the unpredictable – and there is no way of preparing for all the strange and wonderful things that will happen next!

An important decision requires you to enquire, inform yourself and think it through thoroughly. Find out as much as you can and look at the fine print!

You Can’t Go Back To Yesterday

Published January 22, 2022 by tindertender

And the Gryphon added, “Come, let’s hear some of your adventures.”

“I could tell you my adventures – beginning from this morning,” said Alice a little timidly; “But it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”

In this lovely moment, Alice is being asked to recount her adventures for the Gryphon who longs to hear them and is genuinely interested. Alice would love to share, too. But, she knows if she talks a great deal about what has happened and where she is from, she will never truly be able to move forward and find out who she is now that she has changed and is within the world of Wonderland.

The Gryphon wants her to share so she can be entertained, and perhaps get to know her a little better. But for Alice, the thought of reliving the past is no good, as it will not help him know her, as she has changed too much. And therefore, her history is not a way to true friendship. Perhaps this is the same for you. Focus on creating new memories, on sharing experiences, on getting to know someone and letting them know you in the present, through observation and conversation. Accept that you have changed.

As we change, the simple telling of who we were and what we did, is sometimes not as powerful as sharing who we are becoming and experiencing new adventures right in the heart of the precious present moment. Yes, we can share our past adventures and histories, but perhaps you were quite a different person then. So, consider adventuring forth and fully experiencing the present with people you have connected with. Your past will spill out of you, when the time is right for the sharing of such things.

You are more than your past. You have evolved and changed. Sharing your history is only to share who you once were. You are no longer the same person.

For This You Were Born

Published January 22, 2022 by tindertender

We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. ~ Joseph Campbell

You are alive with infinite possibilities. Every cell of your body sings and shouts a full throttled yes to life! Before you were born, you had a reason – a strong desire – for wanting to experience the human realm. You joyously raised your hand and stood on your tippy toes to volunteer to partake. Your soul smiled widely as you traveled from the angelic realm – where all is love, whole, and perfect – into the realm of humanity. Through the challenges that come your way, remember all you need to do is ask, and you will be instantly refueled by love and support from your soul family. They are always at the ready. Your job is to remember to remember! As you awaken each morning, revisit your passionate intention for this lifetime. Remind yourself, “For this I was born!” Gather your energy, creativity, talent, and will, so no part is left behind as you cross a new threshold of adventure.

Vulnerability is one of my greatest strengths.

Collision

Published January 17, 2022 by tindertender

Sitting here coloring, mind flowing, one faint memory, one drifting thought, one after the other. And I think, this is what happens when “time” and “beyond time” collide.
