Today,
I open to grace.
When I open to grace,
I feel grateful.
And gratitude blossoms into abundance.
As I blossom,
Those around me feel this beautiful energy.
May they absorb this energy and pass it on.
Creating a ripple effect.
May this energy I carry not be diminished by perceived slights or challenges.
May I respond with grace and rise above.
May someone feel better because my life touched theirs.
Even in the smallest way.
May I respond gently and with compassion should the need arise.
The dance of life can keep me on my toes.
But I do not have to be a ballerina or a butterfly to be graceful.
All I need is to slow down a little.
Quieten my busy mind.
And open my heart.
I will find the middle ground between softness and strength.
May I never resort to being mean-spirited or indifferent with the injustices in the world.
I will dig deep and strive to understand.
If understanding is not forthcoming.
I will find a way back into the light.
And move forward with kindness and compassion.
I will seek out the glimmers.
The tiny moments of awe that spark joy.
Calm and humility.
This is the magic I have been seeking.
What a wonderful way to see the world!
This will awaken the energy of gratitude and bring me back to grace.
May my heart be gladdened by this energy that elevates and expands.
This opens the path for grace to flow.
Bringing light into all my experiences.
I become the light I am seeking.
With grace and gratitude,
May I lift someone's spirits.
May I be their beacon.
I will look for the good in everyone.
And invite harmony into my life.
And avoid discord.
I will respect another's opinion.
Even if it is not my own.
We are all unique.
And there is a reason why paths have crossed and moments have been shared.
May I be better for these seemingly chance encounters and not resist the lesson this may present.
May they grow me in a way that opens doors to my soul,
Sparks my imagination,
And brings me a fresh new perspective.
If I resist what persists,
I am missing the soul nudges that are guiding my path.
I will lean into trust and let go of worry.
Deep down I know that the detours are there for a reason.
I will accept challenges and change gracefully and without blame.
May I accept compliments and gifts with graciousness,
For they are nourishment for the soul.
As my soul is nourished,
My spirit will shine,
And my words,
Thoughts,
And deeds will radiate from a place of loving kindness.
Should I be the recipient of kindness,
Love and support,
I will be gracious and humble.
Knowing that this human connection is the greatest gift one could receive.
I am worthy and deserving.
And there are no prizes for struggling alone.
May I look back upon each day knowing that I did my best.
That I rose to the occasion.
And open to the flow and rhythm of life.
I will forgive myself if I fall short.
And I will forgive others who may have inadvertently hurt me.
This is the ultimate grace.
Tomorrow brings me another opportunity to open to grace.
I await this new day with anticipation.
Excitement.
And gratitude.
