Thoughts, clear like bubbles

Wednesday, I had a conversation about thoughts - how thoughts should be transparent, like bubbles: 'oh there's one, ok, it's gone' - 
let's not take them too seriously, because when you focus on them they define you, and you can't see past them. 

'As a man thinks in his heart, so is he'. 
Gotta get out of my head and quit beating myself up! 

We talked about being present, grounded, feeling the gravity, feeling myself here ~ and then in yoga Thursday night, Jess talked about the same thing. 

Just breathe, just be, just accept... 

We talked about wisdom ~ 
'If any lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives liberally...' 

So I'm asking.  Please.  I need wisdom.  I can't do this 'life' thing without wisdom that comes from God.

November Rain

November Rain has been raining some refreshing on my soul:

I took this pic because I knew my good friend Mel was in labor on Wednesday, and I wanted it to be a November baby so bad - and it was  perfect November day - it was raining all different colored leaves all around.  And Lila Faye entered the world.  Welcome, baby girl.

On Monday, little (big) Sawyer Dean was born.  How blessed am I to get to meet these two brand new souls on their first days on this planet?  So precious.  I just cried at the sight of them.  and that's OK.


Also, this week...  random people speaking random words of encouragement...

Saturday night at Gravity @gravitychurch- 3 different ladies told me they liked my style.  That's pretty cool, as I don't see myself as very chic or feminine or anything - definitely more funky hippie vibe. But whatever, it felt good to hear.  It's been a rough year.

Then I spent a long time talking with @GizmOMcCluck - he told me that when he sees me he sees strength.  That's the word I remember.  I know he said some other things too.  It was encouraging. 

Today at work, Shola started describing what he sees when he sees me.  We don't talk very often, I don't know him that well.  He said he sees:  Strength, Dignity, Respect, Kindness.  Wow!  I told him God sent you here to say those things to me today. 

I have some more things to say about thoughts being clear like bubbles, but that will have to wait. 

peace and love, grace and mercy,
