40 DAYS of PEACE, HOPE, HEALING and TRANSFORMATION

THANK YOU for showing up for YOU today!

Thank you for diving into the deep with us for

40 Days of LOVE. 40 Days of Hope. 40 Days of Healing. 40 Days of Peace.

FORTY DAYS TO FOCUS ON YOUR PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION~~~ YOUR METAMORPHOSIS

I LOVE YOU

LOVE IS WHO YOU ARE.
You came from DIVINE LOVE and this LOVE IS who you are at the very core of your BEing. When you don’t live according to LOVE, you are outside of BEing. You’re basically not real or true to yourself. When you LOVE, you are acting according to your DEEPEST BEing…. your DEEPEST TRUTH.
**~~~JOURNAL TIME~~~**
**WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF?**

What is MY TRUTH?

**Fear is anything that separates us from our TRUTH.**
Fear is the opposite of LOVE. We’re going to dive into our fears and take a journey to find our Truth.
**On a piece of paper… write the question… “What is my TRUTH?”** and place it somewhere that you look at it everyday. Hold that thought in your mind and know that fears that show up in our lives are holding us back from our Divine TRUTH.
You came from love. You came with dreams and every morning when you wake up and lift your head off the pillow… you have EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

Prepare your space.. prepare your heart.

How good do you feel when your space is clean and organized? SO GOOD. As a creative, I can go from organized to chaos in no time, and in my chaos, I still know everything is … kinda…. at least I tell myself I do. But I loose things and loose time trying to find things when I need them when I’m in chaos. If my space is cluttered, what does this do to my mind? Now, I don’t believe in perfection or keeping it together all the time. As mothers we have to let go of a lot… including the idea that our space will look like the pottery barn catalog. But adopting skills to honor our space, will help our children (and us) learn to honor our space as well.
This is a sacred time you are choosing to give yourself. It is a gift. It is a BEAUTIFUL GIFT. I want us to honor this time and space by preparing our physical space and our heart space.
Take time time to clean your space. Create a sacred space to read, to journal, to meditate. This is what loving yourself looks like.

TIME

**For these 40 days, I want us to start the practice of creating sacred time in our lives.** Our world glorifies the business of being busy. We’ve become so busy that we’ve become disconnected from “The Sacred”.
Mother Nature reminds us of this every day. She is calling us HOME. Will we answer her call?
**Decide to take at least ONE HOUR everyday to LISTEN.** Take more if you feel called. The more time we take in quiet meditation~prayer~mindful listening, the deeper our connection to the Divine becomes and the closer we come to finding out what our TRUTH actually is.
**If you can make the space for it first thing in the morning, Start your day in meditation / contemplative prayer / quiet time**
I know for moms and dads this is difficult and requires getting up early so parents… be patient with yourself. Create your time when you can. Be gentle with yourself.

MORNING MEDIATION TIME

LISTEN ~~ GIVE THANKS ~~~ SET YOUR INTENTIONS

Mni Wiconi ~ WATER IS LIFE

This is Love Water Bus that came to Standing Rock to provide us with a mobile purified water system to fill our bodies with clean water. One of the brothers was from Tibet. I remember meeting him and knowing we we’re mirrors of love.
Monet and I are Water Protectors. We protect the water because we know that WATER IS LIFE. Our waters are being poisoned and “Its up to US” to take responsibility in protecting and honoring our waters.
Water is the foundation of LIFE. It is a sacred gift and our very existence depends on our relationship to her. Let us start and end our days by GIVING THANKS to the water and being mindful of our relationship to her. Will you call yourself a Water Protector and teach your children and families to honor the water?

**Every morning.. the first thing you give your body is a glass of water (with lemon if you have it).**
**WHY DRINK WATER WITH LEMON (click here)**
GIVE THANKS FOR THE WATER. With every glass of water you drink, every shower you take, every time you wash the dishes with running hot water… GIVE THANKS.
You can google statistics on access to clean water and educate yourself on the global crisis of our water systems. You can also research the amount of toxins from glyphosate and other chemicals that are found in the water that we drink from the tap. It is wise to educate ourselves and to invest in some system of purifying our water.
Water is life and therefore the groundwork of our 40 days to transforming ourselves begins with STAYING HYDRATED and honoring the water.

Here’s how to know if YOU ARE HYDRATED!
You should be urinating every 2 hours if you are hydrated!
Urinating every hour? OVER-Hydrated
Urinating more than 2 hours? Drink more water!
** Did you know? When you go to bed the sodium cycle takes over and pushes the potassium cycle out so you can go longer without urinating **
Do yourself and our planet a favor and treat yourself to a WATER BOTTLE and make your new habit to take the water bottle with your filtered water EVERYONE YOU GO!!! It will become habit I promise!! (40 days to new habits)
Grab your keys, wallet and water bottle and lets go!!!

I have read and re-read this sacred book and still find something new to that fills my soul and deepens my love and devotion to ALL OF NATURE and ALL that is sacred.
“The land grew and grew as she danced her thanks, from the dab of mud on Turtle’s back until the whole earth was made. Not by Skywoman alone, but from the alchemy of all the animal’s gifts coupled with her deep gratitude. Together they formed what we know today as Turtle Island, our HOME.” -Robin Wall Kimmerer
Dive into the pages of this book and you will look at all the world with new eyes. This is a “hymn of love to the world”.

As Ram Das taught us,

“We’re all just walking each other home.”

And I am eternally grateful and humbly honored to share this sacred space with you. I hold space for you and with you in this time… for us all to dive deeper into our connection with nature, with plants, with ourselves and ultimately with each other. May we come to know and love ourselves on a deeper level than ever before. May we SEEK TRUTH and dive into our fears to dissolve them and awaken the GREAT DREAMS OF OUR HEARTS. May we know that we have everything we need to heal, to grow, to evolve and to live our TRUTH!! When we create PEACE within ourselves.. we cultivate PEACE within the world.

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IN AND THROUGH GREAT SPIRIT AND OUR SACRED CONNECTION TO THE DIVINE.

WE ARE LOVE AND WE ARE LOVED

Thanks for BEING YOU

We love you, Sarah and Monet (Poes for Peace)

Rule 1
How we see Yahweh~~ God ~~ Creator is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves. If Yahweh brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame welled inside us. If we see Yahweh as full of love and compassion, so are we.
