open heart flower

No matter what has happened before

Your past experience has brought you to this moment.

Let this awareness fill your being with gratitude.

You are right here.

Its time to come home.

Open the door to your heart

Find your Self waiting with open arms.

 

Hugs

  2. Opening our hearts is really all we need.. So often its the simplest things that we find the hardest to achieve.. When all we need do is open ourselves up to loving ourselves. When we learn the art of living from our hearts, we learn the art of living
    Always your words are what I need to hear.. xxx

  4. It shall grab you, into its arms
    Now you hold it tight
    Fastening yourself to it
    Until you feel you are one
    The One and only YOU.
    Val Madam, Hope you liked it.

  8. Open hearts draw us closer, just like an open flower, and we see the beauty inside. Sometimes hard to achieve but worth the effort.

    1. Yes, thank you Randall for this 💛 So many of us wish the past had been different and spend our energy in lamenting rather than appreciating the moment we are in.

  12. Thank you Val, the flower and all of its siblings in all kingdoms are surely the beginning of gratitude for who could fail to love such a beautiful bloom, I could almost sense its fragrance. When we can feel gratitude for all we have, all we see, hear and touch pushes the feeling of lack into the mists of time. The list of things I’m grateful for is endless … or should that be eternal? I am truly grateful for following and absorbing the words of wisdom you write Val and for all that I will experience in the future which I prepare today! Love, David
