I truly consider myself blessed . . . so when I saw a friend had a book called BLESSINGS: PRAYERS AND DECLARATIONS FOR A
HEARTFUL LIFE (see also Section 11) by Julia Cameron, I aturally
asked to borrow it . . . and I'm glad that I did.This is a short book of prayers and declarations that can be read in one sitting or spread over time . . . it reminded me of how good it is to be alive and, also, made me more fully appreciate the beauty that surrounds me.
Each blessing is preceded by an introductory quote . . . two
that I particularly liked:
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is
because we do not dare that they are difficult.--Seneca
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity--Albert Einstein
Virtually every blessing touched me . . . however, to give you
a feel for the material, here's one I thought you might enjoy reading:
I love others for their true self
I bless and salute the divine goodness available for all human beings and in all human beings. I allow people to be uniquely themselves, bringing their true natures and true gifts to our relationships. I do not demand that those who love me change their essential nature for my comfort. I express them my nature. I tell them my truth. I do not hide or pretend I am different form what I am. I trust that each of us is a perfect part of the divine whole. I trust that each of us is as lovable as we are. I allow originality, inventiveness, and variability in my loving relationships. I invite the unique souls in my life to love me as
their true selves allow.
