Savor The Moment


Stay where Your Feet Are
"Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness."  (James Thurber)
As I begin each day, I remind myself, “Melody, stay where your feet are.”
If I keep my attention on the place where my feet reside, I have a better chance of remaining in the here and now. What’s here and now is all there is, so we’re told.
Although it's exciting to look forward to the future,the real joy comes from focusing on the present and savoringing the present moment.  Each moment of life offers us the blessings of love, humor, stories, messages, healing, and happiness. 
Today, take time to savor every moment that you experience.  Note details of each situation and every human interaction.  Focus on the minute details of what you see, feel, think, and hear. Find the humor within each situation.  Allow yourself to feel the emotions of each moment--be consciously aware of the here and now.  Cherish it!

Practical vs Spiritual


The Moon is in practical Virgo today and becomes full this afternoon. Full Moons illuminate the landscape and stir the emotional waters; it is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that with was started at the New Moon. During this lunar period Virgo opposes Pisces: the practical (Virgo) versus the spiritual (Pisces).  

 During this time, people have a tendency to be selfless in their service to others to the point of creating anxiety and worry for themselves. The endless striving for perfection and endless scrutiny can create a mind-chatter that can be emotionally, physically and spiritually exhausting.


Since the full moon in Virgo takes place in Pisces, it is a good idea to step away from any sense of emotional guilt and focus on your intention to create the ideal happy ending, without getting caught up in controlling the details. It is said that the full moon cast a light so bright that we must all take a look at the shadow aspect of our individual and collective personalities.

Today is a good day to quiet your mind and be introspective about your experiences that lead you to this point in your life.  Allow yourself to reflect on all the thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and circumstances that you have experienced.  As for the courage and willingness to seek the truths that lie within--be objective, be forgiving of yourself, and focus on areas for improvement.

Let Your Heart Heal

Let Your Heart Heal...

It takes time to heal a heart. 
Healing is a process, not an event. 
Take it one step at a time, one day at a time;
be gentle with yourself;
take deep breaths;
rest when you are tired.
Trust that even when you feel alone,
a loving God and His vast choir of Angels
are ever present as your personal guides.

It takes time to heal a heart.
It can happen any time, any place.
Healing may come about through
a simple smile from a stranger;
a casual touch of a friend;
the breeze blowing through the trees;
or the song of a bird. 

It can happen through 
a gentle reminder of our connection with
something or someone outside of ourselves. 
It can happen when we accept the beauty of life itself,
just as it is at this moment. 

It takes time to heal a heart.
But with healing comes--
a sense of gratitude for life;
Compassion for others; 
Faith in love; 
Hope for the future; 
and an insatiable thirst for new beginnings. 
(excerpt from Ramblings from the Heart--Melody R McGowan)
