I orignally posted a version of this March 30 2016 - you can see it here on my blog.  And have since refined it.  ♡♡♡♡ Why be strong all the time?  Let's be soft.  Let's feel the sadness.  Why create an armour of strength. Let's melt into our deep dark grief.   Why create a shield.  Let our hearts be broken.  Let the sadness spill out until we are empty and drained.  Let the love refill us, let love be our soft, subtle strength.  Today's date : May 26 2021  Picture from winter 2021  Let our world be held up by light and love.  Why do we need to be strong all the time when clearly there is the time for softness.  Karen Larkin

Through various teachers as well as being with the text directly I have been reading, learning, exploring, sharing A Course in Miracles for well over 2 decades. It has supported me through so much in my life.  I am participating in a course with Alan Cohen, as we work through his book A Course in Miracles made Easy. It's another approach to receiving the material, in addition to reading the print book, attending the webinars, taking notes I am also listening to the audiobook, again.  And today have once again decided to begin the workbook again.  It appears March is a time I head back in. Hmmm February is behind me now, thankfully. This last week has been incredibly hard on my heart and I need these words, this teaching to keep my spirit and my heart high. So I will do my mental first aid, and ACIM is on top of the list.  Lessons - I am here!  Last visit through the lessons - I made it through about 2 months...let's see how far I go this time.  I have read ...

This is my view right now as I get back to basics.  Reading nourishing words, writing and studying ♡  The tripod is here as this is spot I have been doing live videos for The Happiness Studio this past week or so. Live video # ~ 85/100 🦄 ♡♡♡ Yesterday during our live webinar with The Happiness Academy ( certificate program -  Happiness Facilitator ) we spoke about getting back to basics.  These are some of my basics: Rich soul nourishing words I read them and I write them  Study/learning  And connection This week, once again, (by someone who lives in a different world view than mine) I was told I was selfish, narcissistic, delusion and hurtful to all those around me - gosh it was a hard Tuesday/Wednesday.   I had to pick myself up and DECIDE to do my work-my work which keeps me in the light, in the truth of love. Love is a powerful force, stronger than fear or anger - however because we are both human and spirit we need to make a cons...

"Each day, our tribe of language holds what we call the world together. Yet uttering of the word reveals how each of us relentlessly creates. Everyone is an artist. Each person brings sound out of silence and coaxes the invisible to become visible." Anam Cara John O'Donohue Prologue xv :::::::: '...coaxes the invisible to become visible." What are you creating with your words? Do you imagine the words you speak as power filled entities of magic, creating the world you inhabit? Do you fill your conversations with filler words, to enhance the conversation? Do you construct your responses or do you allow the words to flow from you? Is this true for you always? OR is it dependent upon company and context? You may or may not have noticed how lazy some can be with their language, with their conversations, as if the editing or filtering or thinking has been switched off; for me - this is very telling of their world, of how they live, and wh...

A gentle bit of unsolicited advice, stop wishing your life away. This thought was triggered today as I saw yet another post on FB wishing for summer to hurry up and get here. Stop wishing for and "being ready for summer" When we are in resistance to what is (winter), struggle arrives for us. Winter is here. In most parts of Canada or at least where I live we will be in winter until March, with the last flakes of snow leaving us in April. What if you sink into what is. The cozy feel of the long deep nights. The silence a fresh snow fall brings The crisp orange and pink sunrises The large blue sky when the sun is shining as the temperatures drop even further What if you created an ease about your day What if you had a stillness in your body which would mimic the earth, be with the nature around you What if you became the next level of quiet What if you expressed your stillness through wonderful words, either through what you r...
