8/8 – 8/14/10
So the polar opposite would be to create time that contains peace and harmony – leading us into time of ease. Time of ease – it sounds like a fairy tale. Is it possible to actually have that? We are told that anything is possible in our abundant lives, if only we’re aware of that concept. Isn’t our reality painted by the pictures of our mind and spirit? Maybe that’s a key piece – our mind and spirit has to want the same thing and more often than not, they act like taffy being pulled – a long hard stretch to bring to a state of union. So, if that is so, then working on creating harmony of the mind and spirit is the way to a life of ease. How though do I bring my mind and spirit together when they’re stretched in a tug of war?
Inner wisdom – please tell me what I need to know.
Your mind and spirit are one, if you so choose or they can remain separate embattled entities. Choose to see them in harmony and it will be so.
So, if for example, I (my spirit) want to make my living from writing, but my mind has me see all the value of the employment that now supports me, how do I make that happen?
Choose to see your employment as something worthy of writing, might be one visual picture to paint. Or see your writing as a vehicle for that life of ease and paint that picture as glowing and growing.
I’ve been working on painting a mental picture of my writing growing but think I can put lots more into that – more visualization, energy and love.
Your writing today is sooo beautiful Joyce! All I want to say is you go girl as I know you have it in you to do on every single level….I love you so much, Jill
JOYCE
I HAVE DECIEDED THAT YOU ARE MY HERO! I ALWAYS PICTURED A HANDSOME GUY WITH A SMILE THAT WOULD MAKE ME MELT WOULD BE THE ONE. BUT O NO YOU CHANGED THAT!!! O WELL I CAN LIVE WITH IT.
JOYCE IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO BECOME THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE. ALSO YOU HAVE CONTROLED YOUR ATTITUDE BEFORE IT COULD CONTROL YOU. ALL MY LOVE CHARLES
Joyce, I don’t think, no, I know, I could not come to terms with your situation, if it were me. You are one of the strongest people I know and I am so proud to be your friend. You have changed my perspective on life in so many ways. And I believe you will continue to help many in your time of ease. xoxo
Hey Jill,
I’ve been thinking of you, Alan and Bailey? How are you all doing? I hope he’s better. I want to talk to you – hope we can connect soon.
I love you too. xoxo
OMG Charles – that is one of the nices things ANYONE ever said to me but I don’t think you should give up on the guy with the smile!!! Keep him in your thoughts and maybe he’ll appear – maybe at Harry’s next week. Can’t wait to see you. Love you
Hi Cindy,
Another gift of this whole thing is that it has brought incredible people, like you, to me that I’d never have the opportunity to get to know otherwise. Who would have thought that there would be gifts from cancer!! It’s so nice to have you as a friend.
Love, Joyce
Dear sweet, wonderful, fully aware Joyce. Your many, many gifts continue to shower upon me, all of us.
I feel so blessed to be part of your life! I can see and feel you in your “time of ease.” Love, Kim
Joyce,
It is amazing that your time of ease gives me a moment or two of my own ease. Powerful writing is the only thing that can do that. You have such a handle on being present, and it is an amazing gift you offer in every sentence. You do inspire…through your actions most certainly…but with your words too. I am thrilled for your “project” news!
Kim, Your words overwhelm me with gratitude and love. Thank you.
Meagan,
I wouldn’t have my new project to dream and create if you all didn’t keep me going. So, a BIG thank you, again. I wonder what your moments of ease were. Care to share?
Because of your comments and similar ones, I have the courage to keep going forward. Talk about inspiration!!!!
Love, Joyce
Oh, I cannot WAIT to find out more about your plan…I am soo excited at the possibilities! We are going to have much to catch up on in a couple of weeks. I have wireless (but no cell service) all this week so I can catch up on my favorite blogs : ) You were the first stop! XOX
Joyce,
All the best with your “coming of ease” > can’t wait to see what unfolds!
