Have No Resentment

February 20th, 2026

Healing Message 1.2 Have no resentment

Oh, so this is the way I am to contribute to healing knowledge.

My purpose is to solve the puzzle of healing sexual trauma which occurred during my childhood.

I recovered some of my surpressed memories when I was fifty years old, and more for the next two decades.

I went through the many stages of dealing with shock and rage and frustration and despair.

I found many tools and techniques to aid me along my healing path.

I am here to share these, and to encourage you along your healing path.

I have come to the conclusion that resentment always slows me down.

I have enough proof through the progress which is now evident through my new, freer life, to remind myself to release resentment every time it occurs.

After this release, I am free to continue to heal and to share the resources which have been so uplifting to me.

I have been on this healing path for so long, and I feel so much better, that even the sudden onset of resentment does not keep me from my work for very long.

I remind myself of what I am here to do, and I start doing it.

I take my first tiny step and after that I begin to gain momentum.

Soon, I am back up to speed with my new, consistent happiness.

I continue devoting myself to writing, drawing, creating ebooks, and listening for more ways to share the possibilities of freedom.

This practice removes any last tendencies for resentment, until it surfaces once again, and I take the steps to remove myself from it.

I am grateful to learn the value of consistent practice in the form of immersing myself in uplifting and calming affirmations and meditations.

I follow my established practices of writing in my journal, drawing, taking my newest tiny step to learn technology.

I keep expanding my skills and my horizons.

I am in a continual state of spiritual growth as I attend to my mission and purpose.

It is resulting in a more expressive way to live, through sharing and celebrating.

It is a great contrast to isolating and despairing.

We all belong to the Universe Which Loves Us and Cares for Us.

Willing and joyful

A Year Of Joy #18 – Willing and joyful

We are willing to find joy in our day.

We are willing to take a deep breath and pause to make room for joy.

We look at the sunrise and find joy.

We listen to the sounds of the start of the day and find harmony.

Each job that is getting started every morning is there to bring harmony and joy into the lives of those it affects.

It is there to make life easier and more pleasant.

When we approach our day with joy, we allow it to flow throughout the day.

We feel it on our way to work.

We feel it as we do our work.

We feel it on the way home.

We feel joy in the way we do the little things.

It all adds up.

We are willing to look for joy when we feel we have lost it.

We are willing to provide joy when we see others who have lost their joy.

We pause, take our deep breath, and listen in that moment of peace.

There is joy there as we continue to listen.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of a time of joy.

We must be willing to find that joyful moment and bring back the feeling of joy we had.

That lets us attach a new moment of joy to it.

That allows us to add joy to the present moment.

Once we start the flow of joy, we have it with us continually.

We must be willing to start the flow over and over again as often as needed.

Willingness and joy become a practice.

It is a good way to occupy our mind.

We are willing to develop that practice in order to live in joy.

Uplifting Power

March 8th, 2025

Meditation Drawing 4.24 – Uplifting Power

The uplifting power of the infinite Universe is Love.

We are all subjects of this Love.

It is our most natural state, and attitude toward each other, when we place ourselves in the Presence of the Divine.

We do this when we listen within for Guidance.

We are guided, not by our memories, opinions, or experiences, but by the superior knowledge of the Divine Universe.

It has created us to experience Itself.

We rise into this experience by circumstances which are beyond our control.

As we desire to move into a higher expression and experience, we begin to pull the Divine toward us.

Actually, since the Divine is everywhere, all the time, what is happening, is that we become concious of It.

Our despair and fatigue with the heaviness of our lives, the unpredictability, the uncertainty, leads us to look for another way.

This way comes to us in tiny steps of conscious guidance when we listen within for what we need to know.

Our desire to find a new way tells us that one exists.

It comes to each of us through our inner communion, our inner connection with the Divine.

This is the message which we each receive in an individual way.

It may come to us when we are in despair, or in a moment of in Nature.

It may come to us as we read a poem or write one.

It may come to us when we see a piece of art or listen to uplifting music.

The creative Power of the Divine is part of our spiritual nature and it sings to us when we encounter it.

It is like finding the right fit for our life.

We simply belong.

Everything around us supports who we are.

We enter a beautiful community of uplifting power and this Power is Love.
