“You will first dream of peace,
and then awaken to it.”
~A Course in Miracles
The softness that resides inside
touches me in times of stillness.
I remember when life was innocent and carefree
and the only job I had
was to live life with laughter from my soul.
The free and easy feeling
of sharing love with every being,
knowing that we all exist together,
each with a gift and a plan.
Walking the journey unaware,
yet involved,
bouncing off the circumstances of others,
and finding purpose in the shadows of truth.
I celebrate the magnificence
that designed this beautifully orchestrated whole.
I walk in peace through terrain
that constantly changes,
and that changes me
into a being with purpose
who recognizes the importance
of the tiniest details.
In a world where we get to decide
the path we take,
the things we notice,
the people we touch,
the good we do,
the love we make,
I know in my heart
that it all matters.
Blessitude!

I love this quote from A Course in Miracles! It speaks to the idea that we have to be aware of something before we can manifest it. We have to be aware of something before we can change it. We have to have dreams and then awaken to them!
I look back and realize that everything has a Divine order. All of the lessons I have learned have been orchestrated perfectly. I feel peace where I am right now on this eve of my 57th birthday…AH! (How did that happen?)
I send a huge wish that you all feel the peace and serenity from my photos and words, and that you are caressed in love as you awaken from your dreams !
<3 Lorrie

Hey Brad! I am so happy that you feel all those good things! The photos are completely untouched (no filter…?) It was a day last week and I looked out the back and had to run to find my phone! The pond was so calm and the reflection of the clouds and colors….Ah!
Life is amazing the way we can go from despair to exhilaration. The pendulum swings…
Best wishes to you, my friend. I sincerely hope you are in a good patch <3
It’s good to be open and flexible to life’s swings. ๐

Yes! It is true! ๐ Thanks, Anita…have a wonderful day.
I missed your birthday Lorrie.. I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Birthday my friend.. And yes how fast our years fly by.. Loved your post.. And the quote.. We have to begin to start seeing the world from a different perspective.. And only when we go deep within our own being do we fully begin to understand we have to create that what we desire within and see it already created.. Then it will manifest into being..
Keep feeling that peace and stillness.. keep feeling that calm and harmony.. Keep seeing the world in unity and balance.. And together we will help alter our reality..
Love and Blessings Lorrie… Sending hugs your way <3
Hi Sue! Thank you so much!! It truly feels empowering to know that I have the ability to change the energy in my world. It has been a long learned lesson, and sometimes those lessons are really hard. But I am sitting in the driver’s seat and feeling that it IS POSSIBLE! And that is a beautiful thing. It has been so important to connect with beautiful souls who believe the same thing and I know deep in my heart that we have the ability to effect changes everywhere!!
I hope that you are enjoying summer and your garden…and art…and writing…and connecting with beautiful souls!!
And even more than that!!!
๐๐
First of all, happy belated birthday, Lorrie! And as for what you have written here … I couldn’t agree more. I was just speaking with my sister yesterday how everything works for good, and that everything is connected in order for us to grow and learn. We can change, and with our change, that change ripples out from us to effect the ALL. Your words struck a deep chord within me and that “energy” will stay with me this entire day. Thank you, dear friend. ๐๐๐
Ah! That makes me feel so good, Amy! It is so wonderful to know these truths and really feel them in our hearts.
I’m so happy that you are having good results with your kitties!!! Healing is major business and I believe there are more ways to heal than traditional medicine.
Thanks fornth e belated BD wishes…no worries…I’m still celebrating ๐
Sweet blessings, my friend. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
๐๐
Such a lovely poem, Lorrie. To live life with laughter from your soul…as kids that’s what we do and as we grow up, we sort of lose that spirit along the way. But as when you said that we all have a choice to take the paths we want to take in this world, no reason why we can’t live the life that we want. Everything that has happened is meant to be and we are where we are today because of all that we’ve been through…life is strange that way. I know it’s a bit late but Happy Birthday and may your year ahead be one that is all you want it to be ๐
Thank you so much Mabel! You are so sweet and I couldn’t agree more. It can be hard at times when we are going through the tough times to keep that faith…but it is so worthwhile.
Sending sweet blessings your way…hope you had a great weekend๐๐ป

Thank you! Sweet Blessings <3
