"You are here to express and share your love, not to make others happy, not to look for love, but to be the love."

Peaceful, Centered + Connected

​

I am learning.

When I suffocate my voice to meet the limitations of others I am only limiting myself.

If I suffocate my own needs long enough then I become depleted. This depletion stems from a refusal to recognize and vocalize my own needs out of fear.

What will they think?

What if they get upset?

What if they leave?

What if?

What if?

What if?

The spiral creates a center of desertion.

Perhaps you have been here before?

Perhaps you are in the desert too?

Silence is where I learn

I do not have to silence my own needs

to accommodate the needs of others

​​A New Way to See the Good News

A new way to see the Good News is a short passage that may offer a fresh perspective or insight into the ancient collection of poems, letters, and stories known as the Bible. This section is currently dedicated to exploring identity.

Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:

" 'He will command his angels concering you and they will lift you up in their hands....

- Matthew 4:5

Here we begin to see how our identity can become entangled with the desire to have others "lift" us up or esteem us which can cause us to fall into a pattern of disregard when it comes to who we truly are created to be.

Spoiler alert. When we move forward to Matthew 6:6 Jesus illuminates how to pray (now known as the method of Centering Prayer) in a way that helps to loosen the holds of these temptations. To recognize the desire and not let it serve as the ultimate reality that defines and motivates the action we take.

There is no need to throw yourself down when you are secure in who you are.

We'll look at the final temptation in my next newsletter and see how they all connect to the ego. I am also unpacking this in-depth in week 5 of my upcoming course if you'd like to take a deeper dive in a live class with others.​​​​​​

Until next time.

Grace + Ease,

Tia
