Good morning. How are you? I was sitting here thinking a bit about the concept of forgiveness. You know, when I begin to work with clients, there's a lot of feelings that come up, and there are a lot of feelings toward other people. You may have stumbled across this post because you're feeling lots of strong feelings about other people, about the actions that other people took. Perhaps they feel like they were taken against you or against others, and it makes you angry or mad or sad. You know, those feelings are likely less about other people and more about you. When I begin working with clients, one of the first things I remind them of is the soul is about love and compassion. And the first thing the soul wishes for is for you to forgive yourself and all those feelings. Forgiveness is the path to your soul's emergence. Forgiveness is the path to your healing. It's the path to feeling love and compassion for yourself so that maybe someday you'll feel it for others. Forgiveness is the path to your emergence and to the kind of self leadership that you seek. You are wishing to step into soul leadership. You are wishing to live your life and do your work and make your art from the soul level. And since your thriving is directly tied to your healing, and the first aspect of healing is forgiveness. I heard a call to tell you to forgive yourself... For everything. For the thing you said. For the thing you did. For the thing you even thought. And I wish to leave that on the altar between us today. In fact, this day will be a million times better if you could list out the things that you forgive yourself for, whatever that is. It could be for making wild choices. It could be for making mistakes. It could be for leaving people or not leaving them soon enough. Your path really begins, your soul path really begins when you forgive yourself. So that's my invitation to you. – Hi, I’m Maggie. I help you attune to the frequency of your soul so you can find love, peace, wholeness, meaning, soul family, and do big new things with trust.

Last month, I put all my stuff into storage and became homeless. Now, I'm not truly homeless, especially when I'm rooted into the home within, held by the soul. But my nervous system is still assimilating and uses words like “homeless” to explain its anxiety. I've spent time resting, inviting the mind to loosen its stories about what it means to drift from place to place for a few months (or longer). As I release each story, I feel more fluid and far more liberated. I feel free from the binds of a lifestyle that didn't fit with the new version of me, the me who is finally all in on serving her sweet soul. I highly recommend letting things go that just feel too heavy. I highly recommend giving away all the things you never use. I highly recommend releasing (with gratitude) what wants to go. Because there are the sweetest of gifts on the other side, gifts you don't get to experience unless you actually release and leap. Here are some of the gifts I've witnessed: 1—I learned what it feels like to wait too long to follow a soul desire. I'll recognize this feeling for next time the soul wishes to leap. 2—I heard the call to go ALL IN ON SOUL and rewrote my website, dedicating it to helping you awaken to the power of your soul so you can find love, peace, wholeness, meaning, soul family, and do big new things with ease. 3—I learned how to ask for help and receive it, to allow the humans around me to support me through the discomfort. They are a gift. And I heard the call to share this moment with you. I heard that my gift could also be yours. So, I'm writing to say: —What are your soul's deepest desires? —What do you wish to do with your one wild life? —What tiny step can you take today to allow your soul to lead your life? I leave those questions on the altar between us. Oh, and I share these short updates in my newsletter, We Are Magic, a few times per month. Subscribe Here: https://lnkd.in/ecnYPnsy I hope you enjoy these soul reflections.

Stop making this mistake, it’s dangerous! It’s very easy to compare yourself with others. When you do this: 1. You loose your authenticity 2. You become a copy of them 3. You produce common results 4. You loose your creative power This is a frustrating way to live life. Do this instead 1. Embrace your journey with joy 2. Celebrate the accomplishments of others 3. Allow their accomplishments inspire you to be more. Have a blessed day 🌺 Repost ♻️ inspire someone 💗 PS: How do you manage coping with the syndrome of comparison? Abundance Queen 👸 Abundance is your birthright 💯

TODAY’s Capsule—14th, Dec., 2024! Grace for Every Situation: Sufficient and Available Always Life’s challenges often leave us feeling overwhelmed and insufficient. Yet, God’s grace is always more than enough, meeting us at the point of our need and carrying us through every trial. Whether in moments of strength or seasons of struggle, His grace is constant, unchanging, and always available to sustain us. Hebrews 4:16 encourages us to boldly approach the throne of grace, where we can find the mercy and help we need. This assurance means that in every struggle, we have a divine source of strength and support. Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 12:9 affirm this truth: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” God’s grace strengthens us, transforming our weaknesses into platforms for His power. Consider Elijah in 1 Kings 19:5-8. When he was weary and felt like giving up, God provided sustenance and renewed his strength. Similarly, His grace replenishes us in our weakest moments, ensuring we can endure and overcome challenges. God’s grace adapts to meet our needs in every season. Isaiah 43:2 reminds us, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” Whether in storms of uncertainty or times of abundance, His grace remains sufficient. Embrace this unchanging truth: God’s grace is your anchor and strength in every situation.

Who Do You Listen To? Who have you kept company with over the last few years? Who influences you? Have you intentionally chosen what and who you listen to? The story of Jesus washing his disciples' feet is a powerful example of humility, love, and care. When the disciples returned exhausted from their journeys, Jesus didn’t offer judgment or critique—he knelt down, basin in hand, and washed their feet. Peter resisted, feeling unworthy, but Jesus gently reminded him of the need to receive this act of grace. This act wasn’t just about clean feet; it was a deeper message. Life gets messy. The world can weigh us down with challenges, failures, and pain. When that happens, we don’t need gossip, judgment, or shame—we need friends, family, and a community who help us heal, restore, and rise again. So, who do you listen to? Who is in your corner when life feels muddy? This is your call to choose your influences intentionally and surround yourself with people who uplift and walk with you, not tear you down. But more than that, I invite you to meditate on Jesus washing your feet. Imagine the care, the grace, and the restoration in that moment. Let Him do it. Like Peter, surrender not just your feet but your whole self—mind, body, and soul—to Him. Have you chosen your Life Coach for 2025? Let me know if you want me in your corner. #WhoDoYouListenTo #IntentionalLiving #CommunityMatters #FaithJourney #Restoration #GraceInAction #JesusWashesFeet #SupportiveCommunity

TODAY’s Capsule—11th, Dec., 2024! How to Walk in Grace Daily: Embracing God’s Gift Every Day Lamentations 3:22-23 reveals the transformative power of God’s grace: "Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." Grace saves us and teaches us how to live victoriously each day. Walking in grace means living with the assurance of God’s unmerited favor and allowing it to shape every part of your life. It’s a daily reality that transforms your thoughts, actions, and relationships, bringing strength, peace, and joy. Receiving grace starts with acknowledging that it is freely given. Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes that salvation is a gift of grace, not something we can earn. Humility positions us to fully receive this gift and rely on God’s strength. Grace empowers us to renew our minds and align our decisions with God’s will, as Romans 12:2 encourages. It also transforms how we respond to challenges. 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Walking in grace daily means letting it overflow into your relationships. Colossians 3:13 calls us to forgive others as Christ forgave us, responding with love and patience even in difficult situations. Grace is God’s transformative gift, empowering you to live victoriously every day.

𝗣𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 Relaxing and trusting in God has opened my eyes to see that I don't need to do much to be favoured. We are often so engrossed in our pain and desire to satisfy our needs and manipulate our destiny that we overlook the tattered tapestries of life that make our journey meaningful and fulfilling when woven together. Your biggest breakthrough in life comes in moments when you are too down, broken and tired to do work including the good work like helping others or taking an interest in others. The feeling of pain creates a suffocating atmosphere, confining us within a room where all other concerns fade away. Our sole focus becomes the longing to break free, and our attempts only seem to deepen our entrapment. It's as if we're blind to the fact that we require external help, a helping hand from beyond the confines of our current situation, to unlatch the door and grant us the freedom we crave. But how can we see if we don't pause and how can we pause if we are so busy trying to work it out on our own? When last did you care for people without them asking? When last did you volunteer? When last did you give without a clue as to whether it will return or not? Life is a riddle. Pause and you will see. #furbishingyourmind #justiceemerald #afutureworthpricing Furbishing-Your-Mind Justice Emerald Furbishing-Your-Mindhttps://lnkd.in/dftrzaXV

TOPIC: SHINE WITH JOY. Many people refuse to shine their light due to different reasons but as we discussed last week. A light is not meant to be hidden, According to how a light is designed, it's for illumination. Before I continue, let me welcome you to another episode of this write up, I pray as you read you are transformed from one level of Glory to another. You can't shine well if you lose your joy. Tribulation is part of life, problems and challenges are meant to come your way, but all of these things should not stop you from shining, And how do you shine among these? by holding on to your joy in the lord. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,James 1:2 NIV. Trials and tribulation is not enough reason not to shine your light as a matter of fact nothing should stop you from shining. You need to shine as light with all joy always. Tell yourself: I am the light, I will shine with all joy always. Glory to God. Till we meet next week. Read the word. Meditate on the word. Live by the word. The only word of God. YOURS IN CHRIST, MERCY AYOMIDE.
