We let the world tell us that our worth is based entirely on what’s outside of us, on what can be seen. We’re not measured simply by our existence but rather by what we can offer. That light. That spark. That’s the Divine in you. The Christ in you. Let it radiate. That is what the world needs. That is what you can offer. That is what your Soul is worth. Do not let anyone outside of you tell you otherwise.

As we kneel in humble gratitude, fill our hearts with joy and inspiration as we acknowledge how blessed we are to belong in Your flock. Fill us with Your love that we may share with others whatever we have, no matter how small nor insignificant they may be—with deep gratitude and joy, in Your mighty name, Amen.

Our Father knows our needs more than we realize. We just have to ask in deep faith and fervent hope for the things that we need and He will surprise us with His graciousness beyond our expectations.

When it comes to gratitude for all the blessings I have and refocusing back to my priorities, sometimes I lack the words to express how blessed and thankful I am.

So…here are my “what matter most” in words and images…

Unconditional love goes beyond all words,

even perceived limitations,

and is felt in the heart.

This is my own understanding…

…of unconditional love.

You shine a radiant unique light. Please know that your energy is cherished by all those you’ve touched. I am looking deep into your eyes and feel filled with gratitude. Thank you for being here! For being you. You’ve got this!

Feeling life flood my being.

I am alive.

Rejuvenated

By mother nature’s nourishing touch,

I am grateful

For all she provides.

I always thought I would be doing the Camino to heal. I went there with cracks wide open. The Camino broke me pretty hard. And when I reached Santiago, to offer my broken pieces, they were grounded into smaller, grain of sand pieces. Spirit’s way of saying, “How about we start all over again?”
