Remember Your Brilliance

"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?

Not sure how to bring happiness in your life? Well, firstly, I believe we are born to be happy - and as such we then can extend our love to serve the world - lifting and supporting others. I look around my home and I would say, yes, everything in my view brings me happiness, my books, a bracelet a friend gave me, our granddaughter's puzzle, fuzzy slippers which I wear to the hot tub, my hubby on his computer in the kitchen (I'm on my chrome book in the living room).

The creator of worlds What words are you using to create your life. Begin today, begin now, pay attention are they power filled and present? Imagine, the quality of your life is impacted by the quality of your words, by the ability to speak your world into being, create your world by using powerful words of choice. The beautiful words have moved me again John O'Donohue -  "Words become the mirrors of reality"

Lately I have started my mornings with work on the computer, FB posts etc. However starting my mornings this way is not always in the best interest of my being, of my spirit. So today, I set myself up at my journal table, where it seems time slows. I light a candle and allow the light of the morning to filter in. I hear the outside world on the move and yet the ticking of my desk clock keeps me present. So this morning I am writing, reading and watching the sunrise over the trees. What is best for your spirit in the morning?
