Forgiftedness

September 21, 2024 Sharon Jacobson

Forgiftedness

I forgive myself for not remembering who taught me
forgiveness is about forgiftedness.
My forgiftedness
is about giving myself the gift of peace.
it is about giving myself the gift of
control over my life.
it is about taking my power back.
Forgiftedness is about me choosing peace
over the need to retaliate.
Forgiftedness is about me focusing on
my own healing and well being and
not enabling past hurts to continue to hurt me.
Forgiftedness is a gift I learn to accept
and then continue to learn from and about.
I have a choice of forgiving and forgifting
or living with a need for resentment and retaliation.
Forgiftedness is a choice.
Each moment I choose whether
to gift myself with peace or not.

This Is Me

January 7, 2024 Sharon Jacobson

This Is Me

There is always going to be someone who does not like me, |
but that is about them, not me.
I love me, just as I am.
I was created by I am
in the image of I am
to be just as I am.
This is me.
What you do not like in me
is about what you do not like in yourself.
What I do not like about me
is about me
and the lies which I am cleansing myself of.
I need to begin with the truth of my beauty,
through which and
in which I was created.
This is me.
There is not,
never has been,
never will be
anyone exactly like me.

Listen

June 3, 2023 Sharon Jacobson

Listen

I have long said that listening
is a sacred gift we give to each other.
We all want someone to listen to us.
When they really listen, we feel loved.
We can do the same for others
and truly listen.
It is more than people who are asking us to
listen.
If I just sit outside and
listen
I can hear the world speaking to me.
I listen to the words of the wind.
I hear the water touching the ground
whether it is rain or a riverbed.
I hear them in the sounds of the birds
I hear the music
I hear the messages of my ancestors
I just have to
Listen

Boring?

March 24, 2023 Sharon Jacobson

Boring?

I remember telling my Bubby once,
just once mind you,
that I was bored doing something.
Honestly I don’t remember what it was.
I just remember her saying,
“oh really?  Keep doing it then.”
She would make me keep doing it
until I was enjoying what I was doing.
She would always ask me
“Are you enjoying it yet?”
The amazing thing is that
when I persevered and kept at it,
the most mundane task
would become interesting
and take on value.
One day she said to me,
“Do you think God is boring?”
God has never been boring to me,
but our conversation taught me
that every thing I do is about
honoring how I have been blessed.
So daily chores can be interesting,
when I think about them as a blessing.
When I can see the Ultimate in the simplest of things
like being able to wash my hands,
brush my teeth,
go to the bathroom,
dust my furniture,
file my papers,
and the list goes on,
then I can see the importance of what I am doing
and the simple task of keeping my desk clean,
becomes an opportunity to give thanks
for the desk I have,
the room it is in,
the home it is in
and the list goes on.
Dusting is no longer a boring chore,
but a way of giving thanks
as are so many other things in my life.

Today

December 17, 2021 Sharon Jacobson

Today

I woke up this morning
and for that I give thanks.
As I think about those who did not,
it makes me ever more grateful
for the gift of the day.
I woke up
and so I am blessed.
From the moment I opened my eyes
and knew I was handed the gift
of yet another day
I knew I was blessed.
Everything after is a blessing.
Even if nothing else went well today,
I am alive.
I woke up
one more time.
I was given yet another day to be of service.
Today is another gift to me
from the Ultimate.
Today is a gift;
an opportunity to give thanks,
to be of service,
to appreciate all I have been given,
and to give thanks
because as I have been reminded,
not everyone received that gift today
and I did.
Today is a gift
and I plan to approach it and
appreciate it for what it is.

Giving

September 19, 2020 Sharon Jacobson

My mother always said
it is better to give
then to receive.
She taught me to give,
but she did not teach
me about the what
and the when
of giving.
Sometimes what we can give
is not what people need
or when they need it.
Sometimes what is needed
in that moment of time
is not something we can give
no matter how much we want to.
It’s about the types
and the timing.
It’s about being the right person
at the right moment
with the ability to give
the right gift
It’s not about the gift itself,
but about it
being the time for
the gift
to be a gift
and not just
an offering
which is not
fully appreciated

Practice, Practice, Practice

August 17, 2018 Sharon Jacobson

So I am sitting here thinking about the word practice. I have come to realize that I have this love hate relationship with the word. On the one hand I realize I cannot master anything if I do not practice. I cannot make something a habit unless I do it so often that it becomes part of my daily routine. There are things which I have practiced doing so often and for so long that I now just do them automatically.

My spiritual journey has been filled with opportunities to practice. It has not always been easy, but it has been important that I remain true to my practice. Several years ago I remember a friend of mine wrote about keeping a gratitude journal for November. It prompted me to keep one daily, not just in November. At first doing so daily was not easy. There were days I did not want to do it, but I pushed myself through and now it is just part of my practice and if I do not do it, I feel off. It is like something is incomplete and missing in my day.
