Lunch in Paris

Lunch in Paris

Recently I was fortunate enough to be traveling and one of the cities on the itinerary was Paris. This photograph was taken by a dear friend of mine while I was on her phone talking to another dear friend who happen to be inside Fouguet's...the restaurant pictured here. She was enjoying a delicious culinary afternoon at this world renowned restaurant...alone. We had a wonderful conversation while she enjoyed her four hour lunch, which was a great indulgence for her. We chatted briefly as I didn't want to occupy her precious time alone enjoying a six course meal topped of by an exquisite glass of Bordeaux. 

She made sure I knew the purpose of her time alone and what the meal meant to her. It wasn't just an ostentatious display of her ability to enjoy such an expensive meal, it was about her hard work to save for this special afternoon. The hard work enabled her to savor every delicious bite and it brought her exactly what she needed, rejuvenation. She said it was feeding her soul and spirit...she went on to say it was inspired by my book 'Quiet Power'...the section titled 'Feed your Soul'.

excerpt from page 107

Discover what feeds your soul and it will help you recognize your pain and fear. Therefore, enable you to discover the tools to overcome fear (and pain, it is the building block for fear) and to understand there is comfort in recognizing the pain. Let's look deeper into the fear first and I ask you, "What feed's your soul?" Some of you can answer this immediately. some of you need to reach deeper into your emotions to find out what it is that feeds your soul.

This excerpt from Quiet Power is meant to help you discover what feed's your soul. My hope is it will offer inspiration to contemplate what it is that you need for your soul and spirit...it might be a delicious lunch that rejuvenates your inner self and provides the motivation to enlighten the attitude about the world around us and the life you have chosen. The inspiration could ignite a passion within you somehow to see a new direction in your life journey that will feed your soul...if so,  may this help you to

find your peace

Moving On

Moving on

This I know

I have learned to offer no resistance to what is. I have learned to allow the present moment to be and the impermanent nature of all things and conditions.

Thus have I found peace.

communion

Communion

When you are on a journey, it is certainly helpful to know where you are going or at least the general direction in which you are moving, but don't forget: the only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That's all there ever is.

Communication is the ultimate Communion.

Peace to be found

Your journey may contain a million steps: Your inner journey only has one: The step you are taking right now. As you become more deeply aware of this one step, you realize that it already contains within itself all the other steps as well as the destination. This one step then becomes transformed into an expression of perfection, an act of great beauty and quality. It will have taken you into Being, and the light of Being will shine through it. This is both the purpose and the fulfillment of your inner journey, the journey into yourself.  E.Tolle

Finding Your Peace

Finding Your Peace

Peace...It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

Unknown

As you pass through your daily routine take a moment to find a place that makes you feel calm...that makes you feel serene...a place that feeds your soul. Stay in that serene place and think about all the blessings that surround you. Take a deep breath and know you are loved...you are never alone. This place of serenity will offer you the moments needed to rejuvenate your soul and spirit to carry on even when you think it's impossible you will begin to realize nothing is impossible.

May this knowing allow you to 

Find your peace

Feel the Wind

Feel the wind

It is challenging to understand
 why certain people come and go in our lives

  the best way I can describe it and
 go beyond such an impasse is this

...it is like the wind as it gently moves my hair 

to tickle my cheek
and it makes me smile

...it is like the wind when I feel it 

caress my shoulders as it moves from behind me

moving me forward

ever so lovingly

moving me forward

helping me and others to see the meaning

in the power of the wind
and the metaphor it offers us

as it brings new life into our lives and

moves some things out of our lives

that we may not be ready to let go of

but the wind 

helps us to see and understand

the power of 

letting go
the beauty held within letting go

maybe before we think we should

maybe before we think we are capable of 

letting go

it may seem too soon

but 

the wind helps it to move along

lovingly

to where it should go

to where it belongs

taking our love with it

branding it

with 

eternal love

and no one can claim that

but those that feel it within their heart and soul

and therefore passing along

the lessons learned by loving when they were asked to love

 and called to love

and also knowing when to let go

with love
so that those you love may continue to grow and blossom
because of the love
you have shared

letting go with love

will ultimately guide you to

find your peace

Vibrant Passages

Vibrant Passages

A letter from Barb

Hey Janice,

How wonderful to see you at Burger's Market yesterday. Sorry it is so difficult  to take a few minutes to chat...busy...busy.

As I mentioned  there is a journal entry from Quiet Power  that really spoke to me the day I read it...it is on page 134.

Quiet Power

Journal entry page 134

I will provide the strength for you as I see it is needed. Your soul is gasping for strength. Do not make it your last breathe. Allow me to walk in your heart and know the gasping will only bring joy. For you are not gasping for air to survive. You are not allowing time to move the way you know it should, the way it must. Tight fisted feelings of the past, the loss. Remember, let them go. 

Do you really want to continue to suffocate yourself? Hear the torment within your heart. You are a beautiful soul, you have beauty like no other. Share and know, understand what you know, it is time, the time, feel all that has been and never let it go, it will not leave, it is yours for this lifetime. Beyond, you must walk alone at times. Out of grace and love I tell you this.

Know this, let it be, let it be. Not an end at all, it cannot be. Only a beginning, only a continuing of life. Walk, stumble and even fall sometimes. You can pick yourself up and go on. Truly you can learn to walk with you alone. You are meant to go on alone at different times in life. See this, know this and understand this level. 

Do you choose to create sadness and pain each day? Please do not. Now go live in joy, feel the love and know you must walk with only you. Release yourself like a beautiful bird that needs to fly. Always keeping your soul in sight. Soaring high, you must be strong and full of love....

...and love will find you...

This year has had much goodness, yet all at once every aspect of my life seemed to come crashing apart...almost within the same month...

It has been very frightening in some respects, to the point I can hardly breathe. Especially if I let my thoughts go down the wrong road...

 This four page passage has become my "Go To" passage...

it reminds me that there is a higher power and that higher power is very much in charge.

And even though I know this to be true, it is quite difficult for me to actually put it into action. Being a Cancer (sign of the zodiac) and a control freak are not the easiest doors to unlock.

I must say there are many other passages that warm me in this little book, however, this particular one has been the most timely and has spoken to me the loudest.

I find each story and each entry to be unique. Some easy, others take a bit more of a thought process.

I am thankful we have had the opportunity to establish a relationship.

Burger's Market has been a wonderful avenue of allowing many people to come into my life bringing much enrichment...

Here's to a Happy and Peaceful Holiday and many more

Vibrant Passages 
                           to come.

Warmest Regards,

Barb Watts

My Response

Good Morning Barb,

Thank you so very much for your kind words. It touches my heart and soul that you find comfort within the pages of Quiet Power. It has been a true labor of love for me to get this book as ready as I could to allow it to reach someone as yourself. In my mind I always imagined it would sprout legs and carry itself to whoever may be in need. Somehow it would lift their spirit a little after reading it. It's my way of thinking how it would reach who it needs to reach ( sounds kind of like a little cartoon character doesn't it?).

If there is anything else I can ever do for you please let me know...I'm here.

During one of my ritual morning walks recently this message came to me. I heard it clearly and it is so true at different points in life. 

"You must empty your cup before I can fill it again...have no fear as you begin to feel the emptiness because it is only then that it may begin to fill up with new life that is waiting for you...have no fear as it empties, allow your faith to remain strong and your empty cup will be renewed and full". 

I really love your words and as I mentioned yesterday I would be honored if I could post your message on my website if you are comfortable with that.

Have a blessed day and may you 

Find your Peace,

Janice
