Why Resilience Inspires

Joffre McClung Resilience, Self-love 0 0

What is resilience, and why do we need it? Resilience is the ability to “Bounce Back” from difficult experiences. Resilience is a necessary trait in a well-rounded human being, and it is vital to grow and evolve. I have never met anyone who has not faced challenges or obstacles that must be overcome. We yell, shout, or cry when we first see the challenge or obstacle, but eventually, we roll up our sleeves and begin to work on removing the challenge……

Become Affectionate With Yourself

Joffre McClung Affectionate, Self-love 0 0

This week’s spiritual homework is being affectionate with yourself You can change how you feel Some people have spent so many years degrading themselves that to suddenly be affectionate will feel strange or downright wrong. Some may even say I cannot change how I feel about myself. Well, I can say they are wrong. You can change whatever you want to change. I changed myself and how I felt about myself, the world, and the universe. I did the homework……

Love is Contagious

Joffre McClung Love, Self-love 0 0

Three people who lacked self-love. They forgot that love is contagious. In the last few years, I have had the privilege of being with three loved ones as they faced the end of their lives. Two died in their senior years, and one, decades too soon. As each one reflected on their lives, such as the mistakes they thought they had made, the things they wish they had done and didn’t, as well as things they wish they hadn’t done…..

It Is All About Love

Joffre McClung Love, Self-love 0 0

How is love described? Love is described in the dictionary as an intense feeling of deep affection. Now how is friendship described? Friendship is described as a state of enduring affection, esteem, intimacy, and trust between two people. Affection, esteem, intimacy, and trust. I think those words defiantly describe how I see love – at least for now. We look for others to show us affection, esteem or intimacy, or trust so that we know we are not as bad as our…..

Self-Love Matters!

Joffre McClung Self-love 0 0

Self Love Matters! One lacked in self-love. Self-love matters! I want to tell you a story about two people who appeared identical in every way. That is until they hit a very rough period in their lives that shook them to their core. Now one of them felt that if only this or that could happen, she could be happy. Then she could feel safe again. First, she would play over and over in her head everything that had happened……

Late Bloomers & Self-Love

Joffre McClung dreams, Self-love 0 0

Late Bloomers & Self-Love This week’s inspiration is C.S. Lewis’s quote, “You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream. I am a late bloomer Self-love taught me to be a late bloomer. I have redefined myself many times. I got my perfect job as a senior producer in TV at the age of 40 after being gone from NYC for four years. I switched careers again when I came out of the spiritual closet and…..

Pets and Self-Love Our Pets teach us so much. This week’s inspiration is beings that greatly improve our lives – make our lives fuller and add so much love. This inspiration is our beloved pets. Our pets are vitally important in our growth as well. They teach us what unconditional love feels like. I believe that our pets are here for one reason – to love us – to love us unconditionally. It is the way the universe makes sure that we…..

We Are Awakening

Joffre McClung AWAKENING 0 0

We Are Awakening Chaos always appears. It can seem like we are losing our minds and are at each other’s throats. However, I believe it is merely our way of awakening. The difference is the chaos has now risen to the surface, so we can no longer look away or pretend it does not exist. Instead, I believe we are choosing a more evolved way of being. I believe this awakening is happening because we have decided on a soul…..

We All Have A Loving Heart

Joffre McClung LOVING HEART, Self-love 0 0

A Loving Heart Inspiration We all have an open, loving heart. Unfortunately, as we grow up, it tends to close down a bit or have walls put around it. It does not matter where you were born or where you were raised. We tend to learn to hide our hearts and only share them with a few. I have met the most loving people who suddenly shut down when they see a person doing something they do not approve of. A…..

Change Your Mind

Joffre McClung change your mind, empowerment 0 0

This week’s inspiration is the ability to change your mind. My folks taught me. My parents showed the importance of changing your mind. My father’s first answer to any questions was always no. No, to where we wanted to eat. No, to Caribbean vacation. And even no to putting a pool into the yard -NO! Fortunately, my mother knew this about my dad that he always needed to say no and then turn around and say yes. Yes, to where…..
