Just as nature can be tangled with vines, ferns, trees, and branches like in the picture I took above our minds can go in all kinds of directions at any time during the day.

Here is an approximation of a conversation I had with my mind a few mornings ago.

Morning Conversation With My Mind

I am love. Why are you here? That is a good question. What are you thinking about? The universe. Why? I don't know. Why are we here? What does anything mean? Do we matter? Of course, you do. What are you? I am your mind and the mind of all. What do you mean? You know this. We are all one. What are you? I am eternity. I have no bounds. I am within everyone and everything. I am the connecting bond to all that exists. What do you want with me? Nothing. Nothing? Exactly. You are who you are. You are perfect the way you are. You are love. You are a part of me and I am a part of you. Nothing can stand between us. All of us are a part of the greater entity created by unity. I am love.

I recently had a journaling assignment this past week when there was a question asked:

Write down the greatest compliment and/or encouragement someone has given you. We had 10 minutes or so to write a list. Then from our list, we had to pick one statement that resonated the most, print it out, and have it in a place where we can see it all the time.

I wrote down maybe 10 things that popped into my mind. As I was looking at the list and listening to print out one I immediately knew which one resonated the most.

I was given a compliment by Libby Shively McAvoy a little while back.

The compliment was: “You Are An Earth Angel”

Now this statement is printed on the desk I write and the desk where I work. It feels good to take a look at this sentence. This statement. A positive affirmation and a good reminder that I do good in this world. Thank you so much for your kindness Libby Shively McAvoy. You are an Earth Angel as well.

I suggest doing something similar. If you like post it in DEP:).

I hope you have enjoyed this read…

Much love to you all,

Gabriella
