The other day my mind wouldn’t quiet down. Relaxing enough to meditate just wasn’t going to happen so I decided I would journal instead.
Instead of my normal journaling I found myself writing my prayers. I’ve never done that before and I found it very relaxing.
It was amazing how fast my mind got quiet. I relaxed and once again felt connected to my spirit. My cat, Señorita helped as well. She sat purring loudly watching as I wrote.
Love or Fear
Over the years I’ve observed that my mind tends to get busy when there is fear lurking somewhere As soon as I connect with the Source, my spirit, Goddess love whatever you call that expansive, limitless energy of creation the fear dissolves.
I can connect through meditation or prayer and once I do my mind gets quiet.
When I began writing my prayers almost immediately I felt more peaceful and at ease. I’d never written my prayers before but now it has become a regualr part of my morning journaling.
Writing my prayers has taken my morning routine to a new level. I look forward to it and when I start writing I find myself breathing more deeply and that knot in my stomach dissolves.
Quieting your mind
Quieting my mind, connecting to my spirit is a short cut to feeling loved. When I’m immersed in a feeling of love my actions change. My wife Bea just had surgery on her ankle and foot so I am taking care of everything.
I used to find taking care of the chickens (all 80+ of them) stressful. This morning after writing I actually enjoyed caring for them. Yesterday one of the chickens died. I lovingly buried her and planted a flower on her grave.
I’m doing all the cooking and cleaning as well as writing my blog post and putting the finishing touches on a podcast. I have helped Bea up off the floor (yes she fel)l several times and I’m happy and doing it all lovingly.
The first day I cared for Bea I was grumpy and stressed and then I wrote my prayers and everything changed because I am connected to my spirit, to that love.
My prayers that day were very simple:
May I feel peace. I surrender to the loving expansive nature of the universe. May all my thoughts be kind. May I speak only love and be open to your loving presence.
Perhaps take time today to write your prayers. Maybe even share them in the comment section – as my mom would say in her thick New Your accent, “It can’t hurt and it could help.”
With love, peace and joy,
Susan

Your post is exactly what I needed to read. There are no coincidences. I began to journal again two days ago and it does quiet my mind and put me in a space of love. Thank you for sharing your life and inspiring me.
I love the how those sort of things happen. Cosmic breadcrumbs everywhere.
With love and a big smile, Susan
You are such a blessing Susan. May all the peace, love, joy and happiness that you share return to you in abundance, which in return flows out to others with more magnitude. There is no limit to what LOVE can do.
Thanks Virginia
“Cosmic breadcrumbs everywhere.” I finally have words for what I feel!
Smiling …. glad you now have words for them
Hello Susan
That has to be one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen!
It sounds as if you are very busy right now.
Take good care of yourself.
I agree she is a beautiful cat and very very sweet. You know the saying giving a busy person a thing to do and it will get done. I had no idea I could get so much done in a day!!!
Amazing the synchronicity of the Universe. I haven’t been journaling for a long time and recently I listened to a webinar about writing love letters to ourselves; which I’ve been doing and the peace and love I’ve experienced is amazing.
Sorry to hear about your partner’s limitations. Terrific that you can view the situation through the eyes of Love. I find it also helps to get more rest during these experiences.
Much love.
Love letters to yourself are awesome. I used to by cards for myself and periodically mail them to myself.
More rest is definitely part of my process.
Sending a big hug your way, Susan
