Tidbits of Wisdom to inspire your unique life journey – Jeanne Loehnis, Songs For Your Spirit, LLC
Recently, after facilitating a group, I was asked, “Are you a healer?” The question caused me great pause.
Am I a healer?
What is a healer?
What do I believe?
Upon reflection, the answer came back, “Yes! I am a healer.”
So are you.

Fact: NOTHING we have ever accomplished in this lifetime, from our first breath to our last, is ever completely our doing. Nothing. We are born into another’s hands and care. We are taught by those around us, our basic needs are provided by others, the books we read were written by others, the tools we garden with were created by others. Truly, no matter how self-reliant and independent I think I am, I am WE.
Today, I invite you to wonder with me:
What if I intentionally honored WE creation?
What if I embraced WE thinking?
What is the power in WE?
What if, in the face of physical pain, disaster, stress, discomfort, intense growth or any other of life’s challenges, what if, in every situation, in every moment, you knew: “All is well”?
Think about it. We human beings can get through an amazing lot of challenge when we know it’s worth it and that it will end. As a simple example, consider the 30 minute exercise video that feels like it will turn your body to mush. With each passing minute, knowing that it will end, you actually feel more and more positive and anticipate the celebration of success!
And sometimes, “outer knowing” is not available. We can’t know when “it” will end or how “it” will turn out.
Inner knowing, however, believing, having faith, these are personal choices. In any situation, we can choose to believe, to know, that “All is well.”
What does the “all is well” perspective offer you?
What is your relationship with time? Do you:
Experience it?
Use it wisely?
Cherish it?
Fear you’ll waste it?
Fill it up?
Budget it?
Never have enough of it?
What would be different if there was no time?
Okay. What are you worrying about? Over planning for? Fearing? What is out there in front of you stealing your attention?
Guess what? It’s all a mirage. Yes, really! No matter how much you think and plan and prepare for “it”, “it” will be different. “It” might feel awful when it arrives; “It” might be awesome! Either way, in this moment, “it” is in the future and will shift before you get there. “It” is in your imagination. “It” is a mirage.
So today, come back here to now. Take a breath. Focus away from the mirage.
What is really present now?
