Start Now
Start Now.
Whatever it is that has
been on your heart
to try, create, or embrace –
just take one soulful action today
toward that desire.
Life is so short and precious.
Let’s live it with a full, imperfect,
messy, will-risk-love
heart.
We really do have the power
to change!
Even if you are carrying the
heavy weight of doubt and guilt,
even if you have tried serval times,
even if you lost your hope
somewhere back a long while ago,
please know that there are
forces in the Universe that
want your heart to be
satisfied!
There are angels who are
around you and guiding you.
The Universe is filled with
benevolence.
I know it may not appear
that way at times.
I know it wears on a heart to
reach out once again.
So, dear one, let your tears
be prayer enough.
Let your open palms
be that one soulful action
emptying out of all grasping
so you can receive –
another hand in yours,
a gift,
a new song in your heart.
Start now
in any new moment.
The hand is here.
The gift is here.
The new song is already
playing sweet,
soothing lines
to rekindle
the creativity,
hope,
and love in your
heart.

Blessings,
Good morning Lisa! Thanks for helping me start my week in the better direction. While I have your attention, have you read “The Rabbit Effect” by Kelli Harding? It’s about the science of kindness. It’s an easy read and encouraging
Trish, Thanks for the book idea. No, I haven’t read it yet! I’ll go and look at it! You know I love anything about kindness and compassion! Love to you!
Yes, Lisa, you’re so right: “The hand is here. The gift is here.” In my coughing, sneezing, runny- noses state, the hand of a dear neighbor came bearing the gift. Last night’s dinner. Bless her soul! I was a grateful recipient. ❤️
Jan! I LOVE that line, too! I’m sorry you are coughing etc. But that’s so lovely to hear about your neighbor’s thoughtfulness! Yes, bless her soul. Bless everyone who takes some time to think of others and offer a hand (or a meal!). Blessings, Lisa
