At times we hang on so tight to everything and everyone that is familiar. We fail to realize that the situations or the people around us no longer fit in our life. Today is my last day of the old life. Tomorrow I will officially be divorced. It comes with sadness and joy. I realize I’m not searching for a boyfriend or a new husband. My soul craves a Divine Love. In order to find it I’m going to start with me. Love myself so fiercely that I don’t accept anything less than unconditional love. I realize that I’ve been choosing less than I deserve and starting now I’m going to do better. The love I’ve been looking for is right here and I’m ready to receive it.

A friend of mine offered this tranquil deck for my meditation. Ironically, my meditation was a series on abundance. That morning I spent meditating and watching the birds. I thought about many things but mostly my mind was blank. For once I was completely still. Our lives require stillness. Being busy is the easy button. Filling our time with social media is escapism. Swiping on dating apps is looking to fill a void. This might not always be the case but for the majority of people it’s the truth. We have difficulty sitting still because that’s where we begin to feel. We feel pain, grief, anxiety or depression. However, if we don’t feel the negative emotions we also cancel out joy, peace, love and contentment. Choosing the easy button may be pain free but in the long run it’s excruciating.
