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

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…..

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…..

Faith Sees Best In The Dark

Joffre McClung Faith 0 0

This month’s inspiration is a Kierkegaard quote. “Faith sees best in the dark.” Faith is rarely used when experiencing a good life or a successful time or falling in love. However, when we find ourselves in the dark going through tough times, faith steps up beside us -gently holding our hand- so that we know we are not alone. Faith becomes our best friend during these times. It keeps us company, having our back, and reminding us that the good…..

This List Inspires Me

Joffre McClung Self-Appreciation, Self-love 0 0

This week’s inspiration is a list Who is on the list Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Stephen King, Jim Carey, and Walt Disney are all on the list that inspires me. Not for what they have done but what they all overcame. From being told they were not good enough by publishers- Stephen King – to not having enough imagination – Walt Disney – they all rose above their past. The list proves that hard Times define us The hard times…..
