I subscribe to a site called "heartsteps" and today's reading was something I wanted to share here:

Inner Compass



Each of us has an inner compass. Its voice calls us to our highest good. Sometimes it requires that we alter a long-standing but stifling situation. It is difficult to face the severing or alteration of a relationship even when we know such change is for the highest good. Faced with a divorce or separation, faced with the need to terminate a long-standing friendship, I must remind myself that sometimes the most loving involvement is a non-involvement. It is tempting, always, to try to go back, to hold onto what once was rather than face what that relationship has now become. I resolve with a loving heart to accept appropriate endings. I do not grasp at straws when the reality is difficult but clear. Instead, I release the past, bless it and turn with resolution to the future. I listen to the dictates of my conscience, knowing that its voice calls me home. Today, I place my humbled heart in universal care, asking for healing and direction.

~ Julia Cameron

The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience.
~ Leo Tolstoy

Thanks HP for a lovely post.
A quote that resonates with me -


"We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit." E.E. Cummings

Thanks for sharing.

This reading showed up in my inbox again today, and I do NOT think it's by chance...

I'm bumping it up for anyone else who may need a reminder and for those who weren't here a year ago.

Thank you, honeypig.

I relate to my journey in healing as having my inner compass reset. Strengths I've had in the past that were being used in many ways now have a new focus, balance and very natural flow.

Hi honeypig,

How are you today?

This showed up in my inbox again today, and again I'm going to bump it. It's something I always need to be reminded of, and I imagine others might be the same way. When I read it now, I take it to mean that the "going back" doesn't only refer to relationships but to jobs, ways of thinking, habits and so on.

Change is often hard to accept. Making a change is even harder, IME. But I benefit greatly from doing both those things.

I'm so pleased that this post has been useful to all of you. It's important to me too, and it means something a little different to me each time it comes around.
