nurture my spiritual side

My day was blessed by the several good people I talked to today. Some of them are my friends, some are family members, some of them I barely know, all of them blessed my life today just because they exist. :)

in many different ways.
Today I was dealing with a crying baby who was upset with me because I wouldn’t let him do things that would hurt him, like throwing himself from my bed or eating batteries, and thinking about the many times I feel sad and frustrated while God is keeping me from getting hurt and I just don’t have enough understanding to realize it.

My plan for this week is to create a corner in my house where I have a tabletop fountain, a place for candles, incense, and meaningful trinkets to help me in my quest for spiritual balance in my life. I need to teach myself to be quiet and meditate. I am a person that gets bored very quickly, and I need to do something to make myself be able to sit and BE for awhile, without having to think or do something all the time.

Saint Theresa’s Prayer

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you are a child of God

Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

Lately I’ve been drawn to the idea of things like journaling, yoga, ayervedic medicine, and the like. I think my body, mind, and life are out of balance right now, and I am searching for something that will help that inner peace come.
