Hi everyone, For some reason ....I get a little shy about starting threads but I am moved to share so here goes,
This morning I looked in the mirror and my aura did not look right, my face looked disturbed, my eyes......non- twinkly and they have been twinkly and happy actually I have been feeling wonderful, so why this??. Anyway… I really took a moment and looked deep in to the windows of my soul and saw something, it was like it revealed itself today, like a vein you can faintly see in your arm. The layers that I have been shedding allowed me to see through to it. I have been dwelling on a financial situation that I or my "ego" deems as unfair, I have been trying not to think about it and well ignore it, but when it showed up and tried to rain on my “twinkliness and happiness” today well I am giving it the boot buddy!!!!!!. I never thought I would be one of those people that would sit around and worry about my little world.. oh what will become of me, this is not fair why do I have to carry the burdon of this, why do I have to pay more or get the bad end of the stick. All of this turmoil inside of me is keeping me on a lower level of thinking and is physically manifesting itself in my reflection. The sky is not falling and you know what I do not care if I get the raw end of the deal I mean so what.
I can breathe, I can see, I can walk and jog and smile and laugh and love and my life is plentiful. I am AWARE thanks to round 1 of my transformation of what is going on. I am trusting that the Lord will take care of my situation as long as I too do something about it and take steps to help myself. I am just tired of carrying around this load and I cannot hide it anymore, so I am dropping it off on this thread today. I feel lighter already. Wow I just had some meaningful growth today...what a relief. I feel like I got a splinter out that was buried deep. Have you gotten any splinters out lately?
Much Love your friend in transformation, Lizpink
p.s. hold onto your "twinkliness" at all cost!!!

Your Twinklines is an absolute delight Liz, I am so glad you are figuring things out, and I totally agree...trust in God, have faith, but yet move your feet and do what you need to do....

great post Liz, thank you so much for sharing....

I use a needle to get a splinter out. I heat the needle and pluck and dig.

Inventory, Prayer and meditation are the tools which will bring emotional/spiritual insight. From Ignatius

In desolation, Ignatius did not advocate giving up, caving in, or otherwise throwing in the towel. Instead he urged that it was "advantageous to intensify our activity against the desolation. This can be done by insisting on prayer, meditation, frequent examinations, and by increasing our penance in some suitable manner" (p. 130).

BTW- I had a similar 'malaise' when I woke. I trudged the road- thank God- like you we will come out the other end. ( and we will smell much better than what comes out! ) God loves us so much.

This is so so beautiful Liz................powerful statement!! =)

Yea! for your growth Liz! I know that's a big one for the ego to let go of.... I pray that I too continue to free myself of the limits I am burdened with!

Thanks for setting the great example and unloading here in a thread!

Well said.

Liz ,you are truly accomplishing much by trying less.I am a single mom of three and just thinking of meeting all our financial needs could become depressing.Though this is my prayer affirmation:John16:15 "All things that the Father hath are mine".And when I think about what this means for ME -financially,as a mother,as a friend,as a co-worker,what it means for me spiritually ,my heart becomes filled with love and graditude for God and my mind becomes freer to concentrate on what I need to accomplish that day.Keep allowing the reasoning in your heart to giude you,Liz.You are awesome ,Susanne

I am so touched by all of your sweet comments! Thank you so much! Liz

Liz, that was gorgeous. Thank you so much for writing it. We too have been going through some tough financial stuff and my twinkle is definitely deem. Hoping Denver doesn't get cancelled. But it made me feel better reading your blog. Thanks millions. Cindy

Liz I am so impressed by the way you have come to know yourself. It really is a testament to your hard work and all that you have accomplished so far in your Transformation. Now that we can know where we are .... WE can do something about it.

Great insight....I'm impressed and love it! Thank you for sharing this with us. This bring the attention to self awareness...listening to your body, your heart, mind and soul. But what's great is you did this not as you were running around, busy or because something happened to you. You did this by stopping and really looking in the mirror...REALLY looking. This was so beautiful.

Here's a group that I thought about sharing with you when I read your story above. It's created by Denise and it's called WE GET TO. Check it out...it's a beautiful group!

Hey Liz. Am glad you overcame your fears and started a thread! Beautiful words and see how sharing can help you process obstacles? That's why the community is so powerful! With love, Phil

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. The awareness is incredible!!!
