Why is it that, there can be guilt felt when booking a ME day or even an hour out of 24, when we can sit quietly in the silence.

Our days are filled to the brim with endless tasks and giving, while we climb the mountain of challenges…the attempt for the excellence of performance from one project to another.

There are many things that I do for myself that have been eased gently into my days over the years. The daily practice to keep me emotionally, physically and spiritually fit is woven together with walks in nature and healthy food choices along with nutritional supplements. These necessities take me to a balance and rhythm that keeps me connected to my desires.

I found out years ago that no one gives you the time you need unless you book it, ask for it, desire it and know that you deserve it.

A vacation may come only a few times a year and my soul craves time alone with myself. I listen to the voice from within as I dream of alone time with my husband and anticipate it with the same excitement as a girl on a first date.

I desire alone time with each of my daughters, with every moment a gift for my heart. The precious alone time with my grandson each week takes me to complete joy…like a prayer.

One-to-one time with my loved ones lifts my heart to a high vibration of beloved love.

I yearn for alone time with my sisters and dream of a time when we can play together again…alone…without distractions.

I know the time alone with each of my girlfriends takes me to different places in me…the wild side or the fashion and shopping side, show time and usually the emotional and spiritual side.

Whoever I spend alone time with, I can express many personality aspects that I have explored in my solitude.

I can get to know who I am as I venture into my inner world that shows me authentically who I am.

My personal beautiful time with my parents has taken me to great healings and awareness with my past and present…for my future.

I remember time alone with my brother, as children we would go fishing and in the stillness we created memories…maybe we can go fishing again someday…alone…together.

In my solitude, I can be present with my loved ones who have passed on, as I breathe into their spirit…remembering…as I am silent.

In the middle age of my life, I will make the commitment and space for my alone time. When I am present with this intention, the universe creates the opportunity, and when I am present, I see the opening to the place for solitude.

Alone time is a precious gift we give ourselves.
