Proverbs 4: Open Yourself to Loving Advice.
This world has so many words ~ there is writing everywhere. There are also videos, teachers, and talk shows, billboards, blogs, commercials, and consumer guidelines - It seems everyone has advice on how to live. With so much sound - tuning-out is popular. Over-consumption has a way of desensitizing —-dulling. Yes - we consume words just as we do food. They enter through our senses and work to nourish us or poison us - to help or to harm. Dis-ease is caused by consuming the wrong nutrients. It can also be caused by not having enough. With wisdom, we move to filter through all that is being offered to us - and consume only that that is good - we need words - as we need food: words that strengthen and nourish our body, mind, and soul. Today I will be mindful to be open to loving advice - to discern using my heart as the filter.
Listen and be open to loving advice.
Listen
“Listen with your heart, you will understand.”
Making a Connection Through Art Journaling
I am posting this short video showing you how I enhance my study through art journaling. In this series, I make journaling cards that I will use as additional writing surfaces for my daily journaling pages. Enjoy!
“Bravery is the choice to show up and listen to another person, be it a loved one or perceived foe, even when it is uncomfortable, painful, or the last thing you want to do.”
