As the cold comes down and leaves a white blanket on the earth, I affirm that life is beautiful.<\/p>\n
The trees have shed what no longer serves them and are going bare.\u00a0 Releasing their outward extension of life and going within, getting quiet and still.<\/p>\n
With this sweet serene landscape, I become one with the earth.<\/p>\n
Letting go of anything external in my life that holds no true value to my spirit.<\/p>\n
Letting go of a busy hectic pace that the fall held and feeling the calm rush over.<\/p>\n
Sparking a fire within me, to bring warmth to my soul and to everyone on the planet.<\/p>\n
Sparking a heart that beats with love and peace for all creatures.<\/p>\n
Although life may sometimes seem unbalanced and chaotic, I affirm I am part of a divine plan.<\/p>\n
I am a divine being called to take action and make a difference to reduce the pain and suffering of all people.<\/p>\n
And my light increases the light in the world.\u00a0 Person by person.\u00a0 Candle by candle.<\/p>\n
In times of darkness, my divinity shines even more brightly.<\/p>\n
