Singing

Stepping out of my comfort zone

Gives me shivers

Gives me hope

Gives me success

For when I am internal

I see things from my point of view

Yet when I look at the world

Through the lens of Spirit

I see

I feel

I comprehend

All that has made that Spirit sing

Singing is a misnomer for feel

For when I feel I will sing

And when I sing I will rejoice

And Holy be to God

For I am

Friendships

True friendships are scarce

You think friendships are what you expect them to be

Or not

For when you are in a friendship

All should be equal

Yet, what in life is truly equal

Only that what you give to yourself

If you allow yourself

The pleasure of being a friend to yourself

Life opens up

Odd as this seems

We generally put ourselves on the back burner

And let others lead the way

To overcome, always think of yourself first

Bring in the light to you

For when you bring in the light

And stay open in your heart

The friendship that you so seek

Is burning within

My Traits

Single out one trait of yourself
As you do, honor yourself
First for being so honest
Second for allowing yourself to step into your personal space
Third to hold your trait in the palm of your hand
This is one of the most precious gifts
You could ever give yourself
For when we search for traits
We often go for the ones that are not pleasant

Yet as we hold them
And observe them
We find that our trait is rather pleasant
Not cynical as we first believed, Bravo
Thank your trait for being a part of you
Gently place it back where you found it
Now, congratulate yourself on being you and only you

Growth

Single out just one thing about yourself

That you are in touch with

Take this one thing and hold onto it dearly

For when you adjust your vision

To the one thing that is about you

Growth will happen

You will grow into the abundance you so desire

Forever

Forever seems so far away

But the moment you think of Forever

Is when it starts and there is no ending

This is the beginning

For this moment

Is now

This moment you and I are connected

We are connected in love

We are connected in light

We are connected in the Glory of God

In this Moment the Universe is wrapping its arms

So gently, yet so strong around us

Making me feel so SECURE and LOVED

Forgive Yourself

Forgive

     But do not forget

Forgive yourself

     For you are the only one that matters

Cherish yourself

     For no other can cherish you as you can

Love yourself

     For as we love another there is no love like that of ourselves

Worship

     Worship those that lead you to the epitome of all that is and all that ever will be

As a package I am incredible

Now show the world

Doreen Santina Cote'

Forever is Forever

Forever is forever

For when forever is not

Things change

Forever for me is me

I will always be with me

Whether I like myself or not

In my time of love

I adore me

In my time of despair

I scramble to find the peace within

In my time of want

My desire is never ending

In my time of compassion

I understand all

In my time of grace

I am humble

Yet in my time of forgiveness

I really try to forgive myself and others

Sometimes it works

Other times I am lost

Looking for an answer

God Please help me understand
