It's about wonder


So, here I am, back in Pretoria, while George stays on and manages the farm in White River until the weekend. To get my head back to basics, I had a personal planning session this morning. It nearly floored me! So many things to fit into each day, so much month left at the end of my money. I browsed through the  photos I had taken this past week in the Lowveld and remembered something that I had read in one of Sarah Ban Breathnach's books, Simple Abundance, A daybook of comfort and joy.

Spirit knows that the rate of exchange used here on earth is cash, not clamshells or sheep. But the rate of exchange in Heaven is wonder. Doing what you love is not about the money, it's about wonder. As soon as you understand you're supposed to be asking for wonder instead of money, you'll start experiencing abundance.

I keep forgetting, but every now and then I ask for wonder, and I have many pictures to show how I am showered with it!

Skuld as Motivering Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "I am convinced that guilt and shame are never from God. They are merely the defenses of the False Self as it is shocked at its own poverty — the defenses of a little man who wants to be a big man. God leads by compassion toward the soul, never by condemnation. If God would relate to us by severity and punitiveness, God would only be giving us permission to do the same (which is tragically, due to our mistaken images of God, exactly what has happened!)." Richard Rohr                 ~ ❖ ~ "It is about as hard to absolve yourself of your own guilt as it is to sit in your own lap. Wrongdoing sparks guilt sparks wrongdoing ad nauseam, and we all try to disguise the grim process from both ourselves and everybody else. In order to break the circuit we need friends before whom we can put aside the disguise, trusting that when they see us for what we fully are, they won't run away screaming with, if nothing wors
