Change

Change Change can knock me down Push me under the waves Cause me frustration Leave me gasping for breath Make me feel out of control And wanting to grasp even tighter It can burn my life to the ground Releasing me to become who I am meant to be Forcing me to let go To forgive myself and those who have hurt me To ask for forgiveness To know, love, and accept who I am To focus on my future Moving forward into the present moment Having faith in the Universe Reclaiming my power All is well Living in the sunshine of the present moment Unifying all of the broken pieces Shining like never before - Kathryn Palacio Loving My Soul Facebook:  www.facebook.com/kathrynpalacio1111 Instagram:  lovingmysoul1111 YouTube:  Kathryn Palacio Website:  www.lovingmysoul.com Check out  Kathryn Palacio's other poems on Loving My Soul

Learning to Surrender

Image
If I could share some wisdom with my younger self , would she believe me if I told her that one of the secrets of life is the art of surrender? By surrender, I do not mean letting others mistreat us, having no boundaries, being a door mat, or giving up. Surrendering means letting go of our expectations of how and what life "should be" and enjoying the wondrous ride of life that is more beautiful and magical than imaginable. Would she be skeptical of me when I describe myself as a “recovering Type A”? Would she understand when I told her that her life (every experience, success, failure, and disappointment) is a master classon surrender ? In my younger years, I do wish I had someone whispering these secrets in my ear As a child, I was often told that I was too sensitive or that I should not take things so personally. I spent so much of my life feeling out of place, misunderstood, hurt, confused, and frustrated. I come from a large, blended family, and I was raised w...

"Loving My Soul" Meaning

Image
If you've seen my blog Loving My Soul by Kathryn Palacio or Kathryn Palacio - Loving My Soul Facebookpage , you may have seen the tag line, “Loving My Soul” and wondered, “What does loving my soul mean?” In this post, I want to explain a bit about what "Loving My Soul" means to me, how it is about each of us discovering and loving who we are, the overall purpose of what I want to share through my LovingMySoul blog, Kathryn Palacio YouTube channel, and Kathryn Palacio - Loving My Soul Facebook page. With that said, "Loving My Soul" is said at the individual level. To apply the phrase, loving our souls is about figuring out what makes us happy, what makes our hearts sing, what sets our souls on fire. Each of us will have our own special mix of the magic of life that helps us to love and nourish our souls and to shine our brightest with our own unique purposes. This beautiful journey of life is about learning how to clear away what is no longer need in our live...

Fall Is a Season for Letting Go

Image
Fall always seems like a bittersweet time of year, an exquisite balance of beauty and sorrow. As the leaves begin to turn gorgeous shades of yellow and red and start falling from the trees, it seems fitting to begin letting go of things that no longer serve us. This could be outmoded relationships, friendships, thought patterns, behavioral patterns, and fears. Any ideas that keep us playing small, prevent us from being our true selves, stand in the way of us being the full expression of our souls, and keep us from being love. In my time on this planet, I have found that one of the main purposes of all beings/souls is to be love, to become love, to love, to remove all obstacles to being love. Fall reminds me of a farmer burning the brush from a field so that there is space and nutrients for seeds that he plants to grow come spring time. This season epitomizes transformation, alchemy, transmutation, our notions of our life and who we think we are burning down around us so that we c...
