May I live this day

Compassionate of heart,

Clear in word,

Gracious in awareness,

Courageous in thought,

Generous in love.

Partial prayer from: TO BLESS THE SPACE BETWEEN US A Book Of Blessings by John O’Donohue

REFLECTION:

As the Holiday gatherings commence, may you pause and embrace these words as a way of being.
Say these words particularly if you are entering a stressful situation with relatives.
May these words give you strength and a way of being this Holiday season.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

IMAGINE….

“You are so easy to love. Never doubt this truth. So many of us think we are hard to love, but it’s not true. You are a joy to love and a delight, so see yourself as someone who is easy to love and worth cherishing. Your mark on this world is so important.”

Quote by Maria Shriver … speaking about her daughter in an article from her weekly publication: The Sunday Paper.

REFLECTION:

Maria Shriver wrote this for her daughter. WHAT A GIFT!
Imagine receiving these words from a parent, a sibling, a friend. How would these words feel?
Perhaps you can offer some heartfelt words as a gift for someone you love… a child, a spouse, a friend, a sibling.

MOST PRECIOUS GIFT

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

Quote by Thich Nhat Hanh

REFLECTION:

During this holiday frenzy ..often feeling the need to buy gifts… the perfect gift, yet our presence is the most precious gift we can offer another.
How can you be more present for someone this holiday season?
How can you love someone and help them bloom this season?
