Meditation's Gift Today I choose to listen. I choose to sit quietly with myself and to open. To stop running to the phone as sounds it's tiny alarms,  pulling me from my Peace, or the computer that hums a song of wasting time. Today I choose to listen, to the voice that remembers why  and what my Soul wants to share. Today I choose to listen. There's a voice weeping softly deep in my belly,  that I will not hear when I am moving and rushing to "get it done". Today I choose to listen to her wanting and her tenderness,  which reveals my deepest self. Today I choose to listen, to LOVE as it whispers words of healing, and kindness to my heart. Today I choose to listen, and KNOW my own essence as beauty and fire and water. What is your Soul asking for you to hear? Only the Silence can show you.

I'm melting today. You know the feeling, when your body goes all soft and tired and you feel like a wet noodle just pulled out of hot water. Yep, that's how I feel. My essence is leaking out all over the house and it's looking like someone else will have to do the clean up- LOL, cause there's not much of me left but ooze and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Do you ever get to the point where your body takes over and says, "that's it, lights off- you're done my dear."? It seems I think my tank can run on empty and even when the vapors are evaporating I try for just a wee bit more- then..... I melt. I know some of you are gasping, "my how unhealthy" and "you should stop sooner", but my lovelies, I've learned it's how I work. And, it works really really good for me. In fact, when I try to do it the other way, taking frequent breaks, etc. I just don't thrive. I LOVE GOING FULL ON and FULL OFF. And, I'm not gonna fight ...
