Every time I go to Sunday service at my spiritual home I bring my Totally Awesome {that’s what it says on the inside!} journal and take notes. It’s cool because I have all my notes in one place and any time I need some encouragement and inspiration I know where to go. Anyhow, here are my notes from the last service {oh by the way you can listen to the sermon that these notes were taken from – just click here!}
Listen to the music of your Soul…all the time.
It’s time to face up.
Are you the kind of person who can’t wait to get out & explore? Or are you the kind of person who goes out wondering, “Are you going to step on me?”
You get what you expect.
Who is the person at the root of your horror story?
Heal your life through your interactions with people. Remember you are a “people.”
Be a Student of Truth.
What you expect, you attract.
Transform in each moment by moment.
In the girlfriend stage you’re trying to win them over & you’re your best.
Love.
Use your disagreement with this post to gauge what you know.
What you think of me is none of my business.
You are a disciple of the Holy One.
In your relationships know that:
- There’s no 1 place to find love
- There’s nothing you need to become
- People aren’t lonely because they are alone ~ they are a alone because they are lonely.
- It’s best to put a little more in then you take out
- You’ll be happier when you give up your horror stories & engage in learning
Loneliness is a way of relating to the world.
Be teachable
Take back your life.
No wasn’t that a kick-ass sermon?!

I’m taking the Foundations Class at the Center for Spiritual Living and one of our assignments was to do a guided meditation about love for a week. Here are some of my notes from what I learned through the experience:
- Focusing on love is easier with practice!
- I learned very young that it was not okay to love
- Today I gave my very young self permission to love her mommy
- She loves her mommy so much.
- She feels safe in her arms and she loves to cuddle
- She loves that her mommy is a big woman with brown hair
- Her mommy is soft and sweet
- Love feels tingly in my hands and arms – sometimes in my feet too
- Today love was not about sex, which was very nice
- Love is an emotion, sex is a physical act
- Love and sex are related and not exclusive
- It feels amazing to love
- It feels incredible to share my love with the world
- I did an exercise where I imagined my love growing from within me all the way through the stretch of the entire plane of existence – even to places I’ve never seen or can even comprehend right now
- And then I practiced shrinking the love back into my body
- It was a fun exercise that I enjoyed
- I also imagined loving all parts of myself from babyhood through childhood
- It gives me chills to imagine hugging my college self
- Oh this loving stuff is getting easier and easier!
- I’m so grateful for this exercise and that I am committed to it for every day this week
- The foundation of my day is love
- The foundation of my life is love
- It’s okay to love openly
- I’m free to love deeply
- Love is not going to kill me
- It’s okay to be vulnerable
- Life is better when you love openly
- I am strong and vulnerable
- It takes great strength to be vulnerable
- Love is our natural state of being
- Humans are loving machines
Wow this is cool!
