Celebrating the divinity and beauty in you…

A lot of the pain that I witness in my work is connected to not feeling good enough. It is sad to watch the amount of self-flagellation we engage in because of old tapes running through our heads.
I came across this lovely piece of poetry by Donna Henes and would like to offer it in appreciation of the courage and beauty that I am also priviledged to witness every day as I hold space for healing and transformation to occurr.

I AM A DIVINE AND BEAUTIFUL BEING 

I CHOOSE TO LIVE EACH MOMENT WITH
APPRECIATION AND COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE
OF MY OWN DIVINITY AND BEAUTY. 

I CHOOSE TO APPRECIATE AND ACCEPT
THE BEAUTY IN ALL BEINGS AND
THE PERFECT DIVINITY IN EACH MOMENT

 I OPEN MY HEART TO THE POSSIBILITY
OF LOVE AND BENEFIT FROM
EVERY BEING AND EACH MOMENT. 

I PURGE MYSELF OF ALL DOUBT,
NEGATIVITY, JUDGMENTAL TENDENCIES,
GUILT, PANIC AND FEARFUL THINKING. 

I ALWAYS SEEK THAT WHICH I NEED TO GROW,
TO BUD, TO BLOOM, TO BLOSSOM,
TO FRUIT, TO BEAR SEED. 

I DARE TO DRAW INTO MYSELF THE POSITIVE
MANIFESTATION OF EACH TRIAL AND DIFFICULTY;
THE RIGHTNESS OF EVERY LESSON.

 I BREATHE DEEPLY AND SAVOR THE LOVE AND
BENEFIT THAT SURROUNDS  AND EMBRACES MY LIFE
AS I LIVE IT EACH MOMENT.

 I FORGIVE MYSELF WITH EACH BREATH I TAKE AND
RENEW MY TRANSFORMATIVE INTENTIONS
WITH EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART. 

I GLORY IN THE GOODNESS AND THE RIGHTNESS
OF ALL THAT I ENCOUNTER
AND ALL THAT I AM 

I AM A DIVINE AND BEAUTIFUL BEING.
