Words have power. The things you think and the words you say, help shape your reality.
Around my 50th birthday, many things had converged in my life and it was clearly obvious that my fingers were losing the grip on the rope held over the cavernous abyss where, if I fell, I would have been lost forever!
The tiniest voice of my soul whispered and I so wanted to listen.
Change. It was necessary. I just didn’t know if it was possible.
I was told by a very dear woman who was so instrumental in the “launch” of this journey that my email was the first thing I needed to change. The old one was a joke, but it eluded to a very painful time in my life.
So I thought about what I could change my email to that would be something that was positive, not only in that moment, but something that would grow with me as my journey unfolded. I wanted it to signify a state of mind ~ a state of being ~ a state of joy!! I wanted it to be a gentle reminder of not only what is, but of what is possible.
“Blessed” and “Gratitude” jumped off the page at me and I wrote them next to each other and BAMMM! “Blessitude” was born! And I LOVED it!! It just felt so right.
I changed my email immediately, to some joking from well meaning friends who took to calling me “Faith.” But I didn’t care, and to be honest I didn’t mind being called “Faith” either ;)!
It is my wish that love never feels as if it has died…because it has not…how could it? We spend our lives running and hiding from the one perfect love…I urge you to heal and to find it!

Obviously others can see how special you are, Lorrie! The awards are great, but the greatest of your “awards” is God’s grace. It’s is the best award any person can have! But then, you already know that!
You are so sweet! I didn’t know how not to accept the awards in the beginning. And I am grateful that people have thought of me, but it isn’t in my heart to accept them anymore. You hit the nail on the head…my only reward is God’s Grace!! It is so beautiful and something I didn’t accept for many years. But now I know what it feels like! Much love…and many blessings for a wonderful weekend!
You know, I’ve “blogged” on a several other sites…from sports, to news, to health. But I started out years ago on religious matters, and have come back to that.
I accepted several writing assignments in the past, along with a handful of “awards,” and felt very thankful that readers and other writers felt me worthy. But now, I have noticed that many “faith writers” don’t accept awards.
Many of them feel the work of the Lord is the greatest “award” of all…and they give the praise to Him. I’m not saying faith writers are wrong in accepting awards, it’s just a matter of personal choice.
Congratulations to you, Lorrie, and to everyone who blogs for the Father! The accolades of other people are super, but the work of the Lord is special in its own way.
Thanks Lorrie for visiting my blog, I truly appreciate….
Ah!! Thank you 🙂 and it was my pleasure to visit your home! Have an awesome week!
