I have been so caught up in DOING that I haven’t had enough BEING in my life.
I remember the first time I heard the saying, “She’s a human DOING, not a human BEING!”
It’s easy to get caught up in life and its challenges, and all the tasks we need to do. We can get so busy DOING we forget about our dreams and they take a back seat for so long we almost forget about them!
If you have been so enmeshed in the responsibilities of life and have forgotten your soul’s purpose, then This Blessing’s for You!
May you feel a gentle breeze cross your skin
Under the canopy of an azure sky
Hear a bird’s song carried gently on the wind
As it brings your mind to the vast possibilities
Of the dreams that live in your soul
May you meet each day with a smile in your heart
As you fulfill obligations to self and others
Always knowing it is not selfish to take care of yourself first
May you have integration of mind, body, and spirit
And be attuned to healing at the highest level
And in the process of unveiling your truth
And following your dreams
May you always have the courage
To explore the depths of your own BEING
❤
Lorrie
Sweet Blessings on this beautiful Sunday.

I’m happy you felt the blessing and thank you for your kind words. I have to write…and I never know when or what…it just sort of comes over me.
Historically the Fall and ensuing Winter used to make me feel a little sad…I’m working on that.
I hope that you are better than terrific and that you, too, have a blessed week!

Hi Sue…sorry for the late reply. Life had a giant detour and I am just beginning to uncover myself and try to get back to some kind of normal.
I’m happy you saw this one…it is obvious to me now that intuitively I knew there was going to be a crash. The best thing that has happened during this time is that I truly am living in the moment. I don’t have the ability to look into the future…the best I can do is walk through today with a possibility of minor plans for tomorrow. I walk in faith that no matter how hard this time is, that I am holding the hand of our Creator and there is peace knowing that I am doing what I am doing because it resonates with my soul.
I can’t thank you enough because you are, and have always been, such a huge inspiration to me. I will be over this week to catch up, but until then I pray that you are well and enjoying all that is presented to you. Much love ❤ ❤

Sorry to hear Lorrie that you have had a set back.. Keep walking in that faith my friend.. And yes, sometimes what we do may well not suit others, but we Must listen to what is right for our soul..
Our Soul journey is about to be tested my friend, as All of us will be perhaps shocked at what the future is looming up to be.. But at all costs keep your balance, and your inner calm..
Know ALL is as it is.. Remember too, we are Eternal BE-ings who chose to be here at this time.. And just keep raising your vibration and rise above the negativity that unfolds from which ever quarter you are receiving it.
And remember to LOVE yourself.
Love and Hugs, ❤ ❤
