QUIET TIME WORD By Carla-Rae
An Affirmation February 10, 2015

~I find strength in adversity and stand in liberty,
even when surrounded by 
the silent cold shoulders who see, not, my value.

I face all scrutiny for the sake of growth and improvement, 

and the knowledge that I am who I am with access to the Master’s Chamber; my Heart.

I stand in Faith, that no matter how it looks, or who resists me,
the LOVE that I Am, will prevail…
For that LOVE is my eternal SHINE~

QUIET TIME WORD By Carla-Rae
~Simply Show Up~

Yesterday, I got to see a dear friend I had met when doing a PSA a few years ago.
On that day, this sweet lady greeted me and my film crew on location to be our location guide and what a joyous soul she is.

So, yesterday, meeting her for lunch, it was much the same, only different. We made a date to meet together with a mutual friend. The three of us had no agenda, just a desire to reinforce our connection. Our time together was clearly orchestrated by Divine guidance and all we had to do was ~simply show up~ and be who we are. As we began to share things that were taking place in our lives, since our last times together, nothing was forced and there was no pretense. We simply saw how much of what each of us had been experiencing was exactly what the other needed to hear, and how each shared experience was timely in its presentation.
We giggled, with excitement, laughed and cried, joyful tears, as our spirits reenforced our connection. The acknowledgement of each other in our own simplicity was indeed, magical.

Then, as we gathered our belongings to leave the lunch spot, we knew that in our ability to 'simply show up' with no agenda, and to express the LOVE that we naturally are, we were exactly where we were supposed to be and the simple essence of who we are, was all that was needed.

In a time when we feel compelled that we must DO SOMETHING in order to make things happen or to reconnect, my I suggest that we "SIMPLY SHOW UP." Our natural essence combined with Divine nature is all that is needed to reinforce our connection to LIFE.

~Shine On in your Simple Essence~

New Year by Carla-Rae

THE NEW YEAR

By Carla-Rae

As we stand poised between the years,

With one gone, the other appears.

Like the view from the mountain top.

The new year is filled with promise non - stop

We peer as far as our eyes can see,

as if we can see eternity. 

In that moment we realize

eternity in our hearts, not our eyes.

Our heart sees far beyond what the horizon holds,

Making us strong, humble, and sensibly bold.

We know what comes, that we cannot see,

Carries, ultimately, with it, life certainty.

So, in the present we stand again,

Knowing that NOW is our friend.

With all the NOWS collected over time,

Eternity is, eternally yours, and eternally mine.

Standing poised between the Years

carrying its  purpose, to end all fear.

One year gone, the other appears.

To us all, I wish ~Happy New Year~

QUIET TIME WORD ,,, December, Dear, December ... A Poem By Carla-Rae

DECEMBER Dear DECEMBER 

By Carla-Rae

December, dear, December, 

Brings happiness to remember.

The crispness of fall 

Turns to winter’s brisk call 

The snow starts falling 

While caroler’s are calling.

Fireplaces crackle with a warm, winter, blaze, 

Candles glimmer with shimmering rays. 

Cider simmers in the kettle so sweet, 

Taste buds await the fine, tasty treat.

In from the cold march family, and friends, 

Joyful fellowship, and laughter, hours on end. 

The pillows and bed rolls get thrown on the floor, 

There is too, much snow, for us to head out the door.

As the month moves forward, and days grow shorter, 

The holidays are upon us, and festivities in order. 

In come the trees, the lights, decorations, and glitter, 

We almost forget we are in the middle of winter.

Somehow the cold doesn’t matter so much, 

Oh, the laughter from children, our hearts do touch. 

We listen and see, taste, touch, and feel, 

The Magic of December, a Magic so real.

I offer to you, in December, this thought, 

A message so powerful, it cannot be bought. 

This month brings a season more real than most, 

A season of PEACE, JOY, AND LOVE December does host.

Carry it from here throughout the year, 

This message so strong it ends all fear.

LOVE is the reason December thrives. 

LOVE is the real Magic that keeps us alive.

Indeed, December, Dear, December 

Brings happiness to remember.
