The Power of the Pause

  "Patience is an inner pause, a brief stillness, a moment we give ourselves to breathe through our initial reaction so we can move to the place where a calm, thoughtful response is born. Patience is a gift of time we give ourselves so we can give the gift of peace to others.” ―L.R. Knost. Happy New Year, New Decade, & New You... Wisdom Seekers,
Faithful Blog Readers,
In 2020, I invite you to welcome moments
 of pause in your life. 
Too often we can miss the moments to breathe, and process what is happening in our lives and the experiences that we are moving through.
When we seized the opportunities to stop, and collect our thoughts and consider our words and how we should carefully respond to either people, or in situations that require wisdom driven actions, we reap the benefits, as our actions add and not subtract from the value of our life.
Pausing is a great way to slow down and savor the unforgettable details of our life.
When we choose to pause, we give ourselves the chance to think from our heart center, instead of purely from our emotions and whims in the moment.
 Pausing allows us to take inventory of the multi dimensional ways of viewing a challenge, situation, or troubling occurrence in our life.
As we embark upon a new decade that has never been experienced, may taking a moment to pause be a daily conscientious practice you consider incorporating in your life.
Cheers to Pausing Today!
Abundant Reflective Action To You,

    I love this one, because I have had to get use to some Pauses in my life, these past 3 years. Having Brain surgery, and the after affects of not being able to use my lower body, had me to pause and wonder. BUT GOD!! He decided to let it be a Pause for me to reflect on me and Him, instead of others. He had to take me back to where I FIRST BELIEVED! It has been an inspiring awakening for me. Took me back to my Prayer Life, and taught me all over about forgiving and expectations. Yes Lord, I thank You for the Pauses I went and am still going through.

Joy Chooses Us

Dear Joy Filled Ones, The beauty of basking in the joyful moments, and times in our life is knowing that the experience of joy is always available to us. Joy is the inward state of bliss just because all is well on the inside no matter what is happening outside of us.  Joy is the still reassurance that you are okay not because the things around you are perfectly aligned or you are tickled pink about the happenings in your life but its a deeper understanding that Life is Good because you choose to see its Goodness no matter what.  Joy is knowing you are Good not because you live a  "perfect and flawless" life but you can see your beauty in the mix of imperfection.   Joy is that smile that appears on your face just because you are content in merely being.  Joy is that middle of the day laugher that you find yourself partaking in just because you found yourself doing something silly.  Joy is that even though I do not like what is happening in my life right now I choose to dance,

Invisible Miracles

M iraculous O nes , W ho s aid m iracles h ad to o nly b e v isible ? Greetings Miraculous Ones, All miracles are not visible to the eye.  I would even infer that our most life affirming and altering miracles often exist in the invisible. We encounter miracles in the moments where we feel an unexplainable calm and renewing peace that comes over us for no external apparent reason.  Miracles, hover over us in the times where in our hearts there is a resounding message that reassures us despite the external chaos and mayhem in our external world  " all is well " and everything is going to "be alright". We experience the miracle of laughter at moments in our life where what is occurring is far from being funny or  joy rendering. We experience miracles at unsuspecting moments, where we have reach the bottom of our barrel of hope and a friend or a stranger extends an encouraging word or act of kindness when we needed it the most. Our most potent m
