Life's Gifts

On this road of life I am a seeker, always looking to learn, stretch and grow. A great many things have come to light in the last little while; I wanted to take them here to reflect upon and share...maybe some of them look familiar to you.






~Gifts added to meaningful need brings an outcome of feeling on purpose.
~There are three kinds of basic characteristics for all people:
     1) the need for approval
     2) the need for security
     3) the need for control
~Living from your heart takes courage





~Once you get it you wont forget it
~Life requires you to participate
~Approval is not the same as Love
~Love does not need Approval





~Sometimes we find old wounds alive and well in other places





~Letting go is about Trust, in God
~Conflict is a forum to grow
~In order to keep your vision you must talk about it
~The Creators amazing glory can always been found





~To be rooted, one must surrender in to the Trust
~When in prayer one needs/can be bold and clear





~God is not, and can not be, offended
~Forgiveness frees us all





~Real power is measured by how much you can let things be
~When you shift your vision from what your bank statement says to what your soul statement say, Lack dissolves and Abundance reveals itself





~Two people can be looking at the same thing and see something completely differently






~Trust is a muscle that needs to be worked out
~Judgment poisons the wounded
~The devil did not create desire. The devil only created fear of it.





~If it makes you come alive you should do it, for the world need more people who are alive
~When one heals we all heal
~We are here to love, not to fix
~Real friends challenge you




~It is our choice to hear The Call 
~We all have something to offer





~Everyone holds beauty
~Those who seem to know more truth than you simply reflect the part of you that has forgotten. They are your touchstones to remember





~It is wise not to attach ourselves to the outcome of things
~Pray, then move your feet
~This, truly, is a good life

Love and Light

  1. Oh, Cat.....
    How wonderful.

    I had a big old wound open up this weekend, one I had thought was completely healed, but I loved learning that I still had care I needed to afford myself, and that underneath the ache was still joy. The bedrock of me is still in good shape :)

    Your journey is inspiring: thank you for the gift of sharing it.

  4. i love all these little tidbits of truth and wisdom. this one penetrated me right to the core: "If it makes you come alive you should do it, for the world need more people who are alive." wow. i have been thinking a lot lately about those things that make me feel fulfilled. alive. writing is one of those things at the top of the list. i told rain recently that if i could just write, then that would be enough. but unfortunately it doesn't work like that in real life. oh well. i just need to try to do the things that make me alive as much as possible, i think...
