Today We Begin a New Month

By Carolyn Kates, Clarity with Carolyn

Today we begin a new month!

May, I am told, will bring us a welcome change, inspiring us to step forward and take some leaps of faith. A new, brighter chapter awaits us all. 

Today begin the new month by pausing to see how you can feel more compassionate towards yourself and the people around you.

Today, consciously allow your heart to open, even if you feel frightened or would rather feel your anger's power. 

Today, open your heart to have more compassion for others, even if you don't understand or agree with them. Today, begin the new month by letting go of the past grievances and resentments that keep you stuck. Instead, choose compassion over judgment and allow yourself to heal.   Healing always starts with compassion, understanding, and hope. 

Today, and throughout the month of May, let your heart open, expand, and let love and compassion lead you.

Just for today, I recognize that I am connected to all of Life. I create new memories filled with peace, goodwill, and compassion for others. Divine peace and harmony dwell within me and all around me. I feel compassion, tolerance and love for all people, including myself.   I release the need to blame anyone. We are all doing the best we can with the knowledge, understanding and awareness that we have right now.

I am safe.

I am willing to heal and everything is working out for my highest good.

And so it is.
