This day I remembered was also a snowy day mixed with ice. At the time, we did not have someone to plow. With my trusty shovel, I began to remove the snow. Under the snow was a thick layer of ice. I was inspired to make this ordeal a prayer. As I was breaking the ice, I set the intention to also break up patterns and negative thoughts within me.
Join me in reading a contribution from collaborator, Lisa Roma for an early edition of Sunday Morning Thoughts. When we think about the heart, a multitude of ideas and images come to mind—because the heart embodies many things, and naturally so.
We don’t see ourselves as pure and innocent, but that is how God sees us. Like I have said in the past, God fashioned us from Himself/Herself. We are Love, we are Divinity, and we are pure. We hold onto so much shame and guilt. We have problems recognizing this. As we start knowing this is who we are, we start seeing the Divine in everything. Even if someone is reacting from the ego, underneath, the Divine Self is still present and stays pure and innocent. That higher Self knows God, knows the Divine.
In my younger years I knew something wasn’t right. I intuitively knew there had to be more to life than what I was experiencing. That caused frustration, despair, and, finally, depression. One of the reasons I was so frustrated was that I could not understand why I wanted more, why I was hungry for more. I had a wonderful husband, three great children, a great house, and no worries for money. Why wasn’t I content? I could not figure it out.
