What I See Is Part of Me

Affirmations:
I forgive myself for withholding Love.
I forgive myself for limiting myself.
I am sorry to cause myself and others fear.
I open myself to be the best I can be in every encounter.

We Are What We See

How do we respond to what we see and hear?
How do we heal what is wounded and flawed?
How do we undo that which is unreal and untrue?
What I see is calling for healing and hope.

When we are watching and listening to what is wrong, we can complain.
When we disagree with what is being shared, we much refrain from judgment.
It is our time to see ourselves and free ourselves to be a helpful and healing influence.
We are here to clear and heal what in us is needing more light and love.

May we learn to see ourselves in a happy, healthy, freeing way.

May we begin to forgive what is not the best we know and give.
May we undo what is unhealthy and untrue and remember the highest ways.
May we choose to clean up my own thinking, speaking and relating first.

We all have work to do.
We may project it onto others.
But what do we do to forgive and heal ourselves?
How do we truly heal and love ourselves to be our best?

Everyday we can look in the mirror and say, How can I give my best today?
As I look at the news and project my views, I can ask “How is this like me?”
When I see similar traits in myself, I can correct myself and project my own healing.
We are here to discover how much we have in common and be compassionate.

When I am healed, I am not healed alone.
When I remember I am learning, I can be gentle with others learning too.
When I forgive my own mistakes, I can forgive others mistakes as well.
When I accept and allow, we are all in this together, I can be more kind.

There is no one who is not worthy of forgiveness.
There is no one who will save us from ourselves.
There is no place we can go where we are not.
We must all face the parts of humanity that live in us.

Let us begin today to inspire, encourage and support one another.
We are here to become aware of what we can do to be better.
There is a constant need to drop away our self-deception and awaken.
We each can be kinder and more patient with ourselves and each other.

Life seems to be teaching us to be the change we want to see.
There is more to life than condemnation and negativity.
We are here to set ourselves free with learning to be truly helpful.
With appreciation and inner peace, we will reach our wholeness, Goodness and Love.

Committed to Love no matter what,
Betty Lue


You Are A Flower in the Garden of Life

If you would grow to be your best self
Be patient, not demanding
Accepting, not condemning
Nurturing, not withholding
Self-marveling, not belittling
Gently guiding, not pushing & punishing

For you are more sensitive than you know
Mankind is tough as war
Yet delicate as flowers
We can endure agonies
But we open fully only to warmth & light
And our need to grow is fragile as a fragrance
Dispersed by storms of will
To return only when those storms are still

So accept, respect,
Attend your sensitivity

A flower
Cannot be opened
With a hammer
