Opening Up

October 16, 2024 Sharon Jacobson

Opening Up
If I worked harder
maybe I could love more.
That is what they said to me.
It is what we have been taught to do,
work harder to become better.
What if instead of working harder
on loving more,
we opened our hearts and souls
to being loved by God.
What if we opening ourselves up
to receiving love,
taught us how to love others.
Not because we were working hard
but because it flowed from us,
like God’s love flows into us.
What if we worked harder
at opening ourselves up
to a deeper relationship
with our spiritual guide and mentor?
Opening up is not about working hard
it is about letting God
fill up our cup with love and blessings
and then allowing
what flows over
to flow unto others.
Our cup cannot runneth over,
if it has not first been filled.
open yourself to being filled
then let the overflow flow
naturally unto others.

Unity

September 30, 2024 Sharon Jacobson

Unity

Have you ever felt like someone is out to get you,
cut you down,
or pollute you?
There are days I feel like one of the worms
that the bird is looking for to eat,
or the prey of the shark.
There are days I feel like the once green land
that has been leveled for more building
or the river that has trash floating in it
or the air that is gray from the smoke.
There are days, preferably moments,
when I feel like this.
Then I remember I am also the shark
and the bird
looking for something to eat.
I am also the developer,
and the pollutant.
I have to remember that it is not either or,
us or them
you or me;
it is we.
It is about me walking in unity
with all of me,
it is about me connecting with you,
but more about me
connecting with me.
it is in this solidarity and connectionsl
in this place of unity,
It is about me building bridges
and not walls.
It is about the unity between us
and the love and respect
that grows from
unity.

Blame

December 9, 2019 Sharon Jacobson

It is so easy
to point the finger at others
and blame them
for the condition
of my life, however
it is not their fault.

When I blame others,
it means I am giving away
my power,
my honesty,
my integrity
and my spiritual wealth.

it means I am giving away
the opportunities for me to grow,
to evolve,
to transform
and to take responsibility
for my own life

I may not be able to change
the legacy I inherited,
however, I can create the life
I choose to live.
I begin by taking responsibility
and not blaming others

What I have done
or not done in my life
is about me
not you.
What you have done
in your life is about you.
How I respond to it
and what I do with it is about me

if I do not like my life
then I cannot blame you.
I have to accept
responsibility
and then be responsible
for doing what I can
to transform my dreams
and my realities

So when I hear myself blaming others
I need to stop and
focus on my own life
and begin to be the change
I want to see in my life
and in my world.

God's Plan

March 4, 2019 Sharon Jacobson

God’s plan for our lives,
is not always ours,
well truth be known it rarely is.
See God this way of bringing

people and situations into our lives
which we would often times prefer
were not the answer
to our prayers.

God’s plan for our life
is not about what we want
for our lives
but what are going to help us
develop a deeper relationship with God.

It might be the person who
gets on your last nerve, or
having to wait 3 ½ hours for a ride home,
when you cannot drive, or
that situation which makes you
want to have a meltdown at Walmart, or
you can fill in your own blank,

God’s plan is not about what we want
or who we want to interact with.
God’s plan is about us and
removing the obstacles which
are blocking us from our own
evolution and deepening
relationship with God.
This is God’s plan for us.
Growing closer to the
Divine who lives in us and
guides us through our lives.
This is God’s plan.

Celebrate Yourself

February 11, 2019 Sharon Jacobson

"I celebrate myself,"
The poet Walt Whitman wrote.
Are you celebrating yourself?
What if you celebrated
all of you,
your achievements,
your experiences, and
your existence.

How would you look at yourself
if you were celebrating
all of who you are?

Would you be saying
I am God’s beloved
I know God is pleased with me
Would you know you are good?
Would you stand in front of yourself and say
“I celebrate myself.”

Start at Home

https://gentwenty.com/better-lasting-change-starts-within/

Change the world,
start at home
that is what HGTV says.
This reminds me
to see myself
to understand myself
to get in touch with my own
deep and innermost mysteries

How can I begin to understand
the one I call the Ultimate
if I have not yet opened myself
to seeing the invisible in myself,
or the mysteries within myself

The journey to the
deeper mysteries of the Divine
begin with me exploring
the mysteries within myself.
If I want to connect on a deeper level

With the divine,
I must remember the wisdom
of HGTV and start at home.

Put your Mask on First

December 12, 2017 Sharon Jacobson
mask.jpg

It has been several years since I have been on a plane, but I remember the flight attendants always telling us in an emergency to put our oxygen masks on first before helping anyone else. This is similar advice to what I was given during my spiritual formation. Take care of yourself so you can take care of others. Practicing you this month means we have to remember to put our masks on first. Today, I thought I would share a few practical ways to take care of ourselves in our daily lives.

1.     Unplug from the energy zappers.
We all have people in our lives who are energy zappers. They are those folks who make you feel like increasingly tired the longer you are around them. When you start to feel emotionally, mentally, and even physically drained around certain people, excuse yourself and find a quiet place to be and let your energy level rebuild. This is not to say that those individuals are bad people, just that they zap your energy and your ability to be present for yourself and thus for others. Unplug, put your mask on and breathe.

Be you

December 5, 2017 Sharon Jacobson
be you.png

This morning I was thinking about this month’s spiritual practice. I had this epiphany that my wife has taught me so much about the spiritual practice of you. One of the first things she said to me when we were dating is that she was allergic to makeover queens. She defined them as those people who placed conditions on love. They are those people who say I would love you if _________ (you can fill in the blank).

I am not sure about anyone else, but I have known more than my share of people who have always let me know I was not enough of something or too much of something. I never quite fit their approval just as I was. The reality, I came to understand, is that it didn’t matter what I did, I would never be cast in their storyline because I would never have their unconditional love and acceptance.

Y is for You

May 21, 2013 Sharon Jacobson
you.jpg

So much of the suffering we experience in our lives comes because we can compare ourselves to someone other then ourselves. You are you. I am me. Comparing myself to you is like comparing apples to oranges. They are both wonderful in their own right and just as they are. Each of them brings their own gifts to the table of fruits. So starting today, honor yourself. Honor the person you are. Who you know yourself to be may be different from who others know you to be and that is ok. How others see you is about them. Honor yourself for who you are.
