Happy Thursday evening,
I hope you are all doing amazing this evening. The day has gotten away from me and I’ve spent a lot of time in deep thought. I wasn’t able to really write the post I had planned, however, there’s always tomorrow. John told me to STOP shoulding on myself and I’m going to forgive myself for not staying on task to write in the way I had planned.
John and I spent quite a few hours tonight working through some of the things I’ve been struggling with about myself. When I saw this quote it made me embrace just how much I love and need John. It also reminded me that He is truly listening even when we haven’t gone to him in prayer. God heard my words. He felt the struggle within me and he gave me this reminder and I wanted to share it with you.
During our struggles in life with not only ourselves but with others, in my case I went down the rabbit hole of what if’s and the why’s of why a certain someone would deliberately try and not only hurt me but ruin my reputation and character. While I wanted to last back out I held my tongue, not for any other reason then fear. I’m realizing how much more I need to work on myself and my worth.
I love this quote below because I never want to be cruel. I want to refocus my pain and strive to always treat everyone with kindness and if they can’t do the same then I keep quiet and walk away. Maybe say a prayer for them to allow God to enter their hearts.
I hope you find just as much comfort in these words as I did.
Love you guys.
Don’t forget, Love Life++ Hugs

What a beautiful reminder for self-reflection towards self-love Dawna. 🙏🏼 Self-forgiveness helps. Don’t allow the viperous cruelty of others to change your level of love and kindness. Have a beautiful weekend. Oh, and don’t put undue pressure on yourself to write a blog post everyday, unless you’re getting paid for it of course! Hugs and smooches! 🤗💖😘

I love your reminder, I will do my best to not allow the cruelty of others to change me.
Haha, I wish I got paid, but seriously, I just love to write. Sometimes life gets in the way and doesn’t allow for me to write as much as I’d like and that’s okay, I’m learning to forgive myself.
Hugs and love

Hi Mary,
I’m glad you enjoyed the poem/prayer. I feel so blessed to be able to talk with John. It’s not always easy because I put up those walls from time to time, but when I am able to, it definitely brings us so much closer together.
Hope all is well with you.
Love to you too my dear friend.
