Daily Bliss – February 24

Daily Bliss

Clouds are lifting

Time is shifting 

In the direction 

Of her dreams 

And new beginnings 

Met each day 

With anticipation 

Guide her way

The energy has been heavy over the last week. I’ve felt it and many others have acknowledged it as well.

There’s a lot going on in the world, and in people’s lives.

And yet, on some days, I wake up and there’s a sense that it’s subsiding. That the clouds are parting.

Even though little has changed in the world, or in my life.

The change, however, came from within.

I had a long talk with an amazing friend and through her gentle redirection, I shifted the energy, which literally shifted my whole demeanor.

She didn’t tell me I was wrong, she simply reminded me of what was real and true and now.

And I allowed it rather than resisting. My mind so wanted to resist, but my heart knew what was right.

I followed the energy, and the clouds parted. Some cleansing tears were shed.

For now. I know I’ll stumble again.

And I’m thankful for dear friends who can help me shift when I can’t see through the clouds on my own.

How are you choosing to shift where needed today?

Daily Bliss – January 5

Daily Bliss

And all of her dark thoughts 

Pushed away 

Until they erupt like lava 

Flowing their wisdom 

Until she’s full of empty space

Potential for a new day

Daily Bliss – August 12

Daily Bliss

What if she could imagine
A different way
What if she prayed
For the love to stay
What is she knew
The dream of a new day
Is here

Daily Bliss – August 3

Daily Bliss

Ah, the promise of a new day
The whisking away
Of old ways of being
Making way for a path
That’s not quite clear
But on its way
Feels oh so real

Daily Bliss – May 6

Daily Bliss

When she purges
What’s on her heart
She makes space
For a new start
A new day
To pave the way
For her emerging

Daily Bliss – November 15

Daily Bliss

Desperate to make her own existence
Just a bit more meaningful
She does what to her
Is unthinkable
Stepping out into the world
With heavy heart and raging tears
Her heart exposed
Unsteady but ready
To face what comes her way
To usher in a new, imperfect day
