DIVINE WORTH Tosha

The futility of the over thinking self…

HELP ME TO REMEMBER WHO I REALLY AM

my doubting one yells from within.

The self abuse of not believing you’re ok, is a sad and sorry tale, carried by too many of us I imagine. Sweeping statement of grand assumption there, yes.

Perhaps that is why I am so drawn to Tosha Silver’s ‘Change Me Prayers’, they get right to the heart of the matter and give me a tool to wield that’s counter to the 6 planets in virgo that inhabit my being and natal chart.

May I also remember, as my darling astrologer friend Divine Mystic reminded me again today, that some of those traits I am all too quick to judge as ‘bad and wrong’ are INTRINSICALLY who I am, and that could be my divine nature.

If you’re seeing this as a self indulgent post . . . relax, it’s easily applicable to anyone who judges harshly the very natural things they find they do by heart, could it be that they are a gift you didn’t realise you had.

I am often puzzled how women of great gifts take themselves into a swirl of self doubting torture simply because they don’t have a clear way of looking in from the outside at their true beautiful nature.

Can we please learn to be kinder to ourselves,

can we please release ourselves from this smallness,

Here’s another one from Tosha Silver :

Change me Divine Beloved into One who knows my own true beauty, dignity and worth.

May I always be a vehicle for Your Love.

May I know my own radiant Soul in every way. Please use me for the highest good. I am Yours. You are Mine. We are One.

that’s all today.

with much kindness,

Dearest one,

I’ve been working toward offering my own ecourse for quite a long while, and finally it’s coming to fruition. I’ll be addressing such things as the inner critic and self doubt, because to be honest they have been instumental in my taking A COUPLE OF YEARS to get bold enough, brave enough, and enough YES i CAN do this… so.. i totally GET the challenge of the artful life.

I won’t labour over those things though, because I also believe where you focus there you go.  So some helpful intentional creativity recipes will be shared, and the creation of a smash book / or several.

Please visit the info page to find out all the details, and don’t hesitate to ask a question if you have one.

Find out more over here : http://creativiteatime.com

thank you for stopping by,

love Denise.

Disowned Selves

*&^(^)*&_(*& i wrote a post.. here
a few minutes ago..
imac crashed and lost it? UGH!

so… I was raving
about
painting not
going how I’d
have liked it
to go,
ie.. in the flow..
hard to define,
but you know
when you’re
not in it.

so… when i
stopped bothering
and trying hard,
i allowed
something else,
or
someone else
to come through
and do.

I’ve always loved
the simple,
true and honest
drawings
of children,
and it
occurred to me
that these may
have been
done by my inner
child, with
the hand of her minder.

love Denise xo

Hello friend,

 I don’t recall if I’ve poured this here 

before already,

but today was one of those days,

where, I just felt a kind of 

foreboding yuck.

(nothing really wrong, just meh)

So.. as I do most every morning

I take a cup of tea and my notebook 

and do morning ‘writing’

yes.. julia cameron inspired me. 

and encourages PAAAGES… but

pfft… some days I don’t have time,

inclination whateverittakes to do

PAGES. 

And I am OVERRR making 

myself wrong for everrryyything.

 So.. I as I made my tea

I put my hands on the cup

and said

‘This is a cup of self acceptance tea’

and proceeded to drink that in.

 My over active, critical thinking brain,

was a bit over active …

so a while later I

took myself downstairs and made

a whole tea pot of it!

 I’m feeling like I was able

to chat to myself in a kinder way,

write some things that 

were a bit helpful in my pages,

and generally…

help soothe myself.

 I even sent a text to a friend

who kept popping into my mind

and sent her an

imaginary cup of self acceptance tea

… since I had a pot going.

 You are welcome

to make a cup too… 

anytime you need, any kind of tea will do

it’s the intention that holds the magic.

 

with love

Denise xo
