"It can be very hard to love people who are not showing love to us. But God's love is a person’s essential identity, regardless of how he or she acts. The miracle worker remembers a part of someone that they themselves have forgotten. People deserve love not because of what they do, but because of who they are. When someone has forgotten their love, they have fallen asleep to who they are; our mystical challenge, and our spiritual power, lies in choosing to remain awake."
And so it is... Thank you, Marianne, for your books. They ring true to me and help guide me through my journey...

Excerpt from "Everyday Grace" by Marianne Williamson
On what a miracle looks like and how one can allow them into his/her life...
"Perhaps the miracle arrives in the form of an insight that unlocks a riddle in your life, reconciliation with someone, or the opening of a door that had long remained closed. Try as you might, your efforts to break through using your talents, your power of rational analysis, or sheer force of will had remained fruitless. It was only when you put God first-when your heart softened, you stopped blaming, you stopped talking so much and started to truly listen-that some wall of resistance began to crumble. You had not done anything so much as you had released the energies of self-will. You had asked, in a way, that God's will be done. A miracle occurred not because you caused it but because you allowed it. In the words of writer Willa Cather, "Where there is a great love, there are always miracles."
This just feels so good to me... Namaste'
