Have you noticed? The birds came back this last week; those that stay the entire summer and those that are migrating through. They have arrived early due to our unusual warm weather. Just this last week, I’ve seen bluebirds, red-winged blackbirds, mallards, meadowlarks, red-tailed hawks, and soaring turkey vultures. It’s been amazing and such a […]
Irish Blessing
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I decided to look at some Irish Blessings. So many times, if we are looking for a wonderful Blessing, the Irish come to mind. Their history is laced with Blessings about their everyday life, nature, family, meals and their faith. Northern Colorado has had a very tough couple of […]
Bless Your heart, Lululemon and Atlas Shrugged.
What do these three have in common? Lululemon’s founder, Chip Wilson, company manifesto, http://www.lululemon.com/about/manifesto, is to elevate the world from mediocrity to greatness. When he first read Ayn Rand’s book Atlas Shrugged as an 18 year old, it had an impact on him. Rand describes a society where people work and reside in government-controlled environments […]
Blessings from the heart are smart
It’s simple. Blessings from the heart are smart. Blessings have the power to change you and your world. This may sound oversimplified, impossible or idealistic but scientific research proves that blessings have a positive impact on the quantum energy field that is part of and around all of us. Lynne McTaggart explores the science of […]
Bless Your Heart, down South
In considering the name for Bless Your Heart, I thought others might think of the tongue in cheek way southern women say “Bless your Heart”. A few advised me to choose something different. But, Bless Your Heart is about Blessings and the heart and besides, the phrase has been used in all parts of the […]
Valentine Blessing Feb 11, 2013: What changes, if any, have you experienced after you sent a Blessing?
Have you ever experienced a noticeable change after sending a Blessing? I have a few times and one in particular stands out. This young man working for me had a real chip on his shoulder. I silently sent him a Blessing. When I returned several minutes later, he was very courteous and offered to assist […]
Valentine Blessing Feb 10, 2013: What part of your community or our world would you bless?
When I go about my day, there is so much negative press. Many people listen to the news first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. This proved to be a real downer for me, so I’ve gotten away from that old habit. I don’t even have a news feed as my […]
Valentine Blessing Feb 8, 2013: Was the last Blessing you sent, spoken or silent?
I feel comfortable verbally Blessing someone I am close to, in a place of worship, when someone sneezes or my goodness, when I hold a new baby. It feels appropriate and rarely do I feel embarrassed. But there are other times when I am not comfortable or I think I might make the other person […]
Valentine Blessing Feb 7, 2013: Do you know how to say Bless your heart or Bless you in another language?
Recently I heard a couple of women awing and cooing over a new born baby. I heard “bendiga su corazón.” My ears perked up because I knew “su corazón” meant “your heart”. As I watched these ladies, they had softness in their eyes and in their voices. I knew whatever they said, came from their […]
Valentine Blessing Feb 6, 2013: Have you ever blessed an animal?
I bless animals with the same intention as I bless people and situations. I don’t know if they feel “better”, but I do. Animals don’t know what a Blessing is in the human sense of the word. But, I believe they can feel the difference if we are in our hearts not our heads. When […]
