"I will not feel guilty for slowing down."

Gentle by Courtney Carver

Are you having a Gentle January?

I am open to Grace.

Receiving Grace
Showing Grace.

Have you told someone today that you love them?

How about starting with yourself?

Celebrating my 11th year on Facebook today. 🙏🤗🎉

Spend time in nature. It's good for your mind. It's great for your spirit!

A thought for you today. Work on one person at a time. Clear away the layers that are not you.

"I release all that is not me back to you. All of the habits, all of the thoughts, and all of the behaviors that are not me. They were not my way of thinking nor were they my behaviors before. They were never me and never meant for me. I release them all back to you.

Therefore, I can be my true, authentic, and joyful self."

Work on every person you deem necessary for this process.

I can breathe my own air.
I don't need to inhale your exhalation.

I am not I.
I am this one
walking beside me whom I do not see,
whom at times I manage to visit,
and whom at other times I forget,
who remains calm and silent while I talk,
and forgives, gently, while I hate,
who walks where I am not,
who will remain standing when I die.
