How to Live My Life

Photo by Dimitry Zub on Pexels.com
Let my life open me
Each deed and thought in service.
My heart in the world
How we live our lives
reflects our deepest meaning.
True self expression
Choose the life you live
Connect to your very soul.
Your gift to the world

These words came to me in reflection with Ali Grimshaw and her writing circle. Setting aside time for writing poetry from the heart is healing and inspiring. Thank you Ali for offering this space.

Check out her blog flashlight batteries.blog

What would your life be like if you lived it from your very soul?

Namaste

      Hey I know it’s not the game … but an other facet of ourselves to explore. 💛

      And so…. Embrace it fully my friend. I was reminded the other day that transformation and birthing is not something to embark alone.
      Embrace others who bring live and support 💛💕🙏
