With all my heart, i vow to help other people in need with all i can; to be kind and caring towards all i encounter and to stay open, accompanying and equally welcoming friends and people unknown to me.with an open heart and second some of the vows of Kara Conrad, which is to honor my story even the chapters I would rather skip, and I vow to be gentle with myself also, as i am aware that my inner child needs this tender care as well as that i vow to reach out for connection instead of isolation and let people in even if it is scary and if it is given, to become softer, wiser and unfold into what is meant to be in Universal Love.
I vow to be kind and caring.. I vow to include folks in a new crowd so that they feel welcome. I vow to follow my faith and try to live out the faithful mission of helping others in need. I vow to keep Mother earth sacred as much as I can.
Looking back on it all
I can see that my life has indeed been a sacred journey,
only I have not always known that in a tangible way . . .
I am closer now
to a fuller vision of it,
as I live more and more
in the Spiritual world.
I think that we are all on a sacred pilgrimage,
but some don’t know it
or connect to it. . .
people are so busy running around,
doing things,
making things,
taking things apart,
talking,
fantasizing . . .
meetings,
activities,
events,
appointments.
It fairly takes my breath away,
and it makes me very tired.
There are times
when I have been part of this rat race,
but age
is teaching me more and more
how there is so much more to simply being
than just ‘simply being.’
I vow to take this message to heart
so that I have more to give to the world
through a genuinely open heart,
and that my gifts
just slide in unseen
but felt
where the need is greatest. ♥
If my life is a sacred pilgrimage, then my vows are not about being perfect they’re about being real.
I vow to always meet myself where I am, even when it’s uncomfortable.
I vow to honor my story, every chapter, even the ones I’d rather skip.
I vow to be gentle with myself, the way I am with my girls, because my inner child deserves the same love.
I vow to keep creating and expressing, because that’s where my soul breathes.
I vow to rest when I need to, without guilt, knowing even warriors need sleep.
I vow to reach for connection instead of isolation, to let people in even when it’s scary.
I vow to never stop becoming softer, wiser, braver, freer.
This is my sacred compass. My promise to myself as I keep walking.
Yes, to all of it!
Especially love being real rather than being perfect
and being gentle with yourself in the same way that you are gentle with your girls.
Be engaged. Be open to possibility.
When something new and interesting becomes available
don’t reject it out of fear.
It would be better to try and not succeed, than to not try at all.
There is always something new to learn.
I would make vows of Listening, Loving, and Serving. Listening is a modern translation for obedience. Being Open to Spirit as I travel to hear what others share with me and for clarifying directions and actions to take. Loving would be an agape love, nurturing others in a celibate way, not possessing or manipulating anyone. Serving is how I’d define sharing my time, talents, and treasury with others. And I’d walk on this pilgrimage with humor to not take myself too serious. Blessings on this new week ☮️and our pilgrimages 👣👣.
I would vow to walk with an open mind and an open heart and to offer kindness to all I encounter.
This is how I live now on this sacred journey that is my life.
I don’t make any vows. It’s heavy on the mind and easy to fall short of what we preach. Just live. Actions speak louder than words. I mean what I say and say what I mean. It’s easy to get into the planning path.
The planning path reminds me of how many participants here have talked about the fictions and delusions of control. Stress only increases when we don’t get our ways. I’ve become more spontaneous as my life becomes more stable both at home and work. Spontaneity and vows are opposites like day and night. Can’t have it both ways.
Michelle, those are good ones. Just because we fall short once shouldn’t mean it’s the end of the world. We just get up, dust ourselves off, learn, let go, keep going, and laugh.

I like that. 🙏
Beautifully said,
dear Kara . . .
I suspect
that you have been thinking about this
for a long time
with love . . . ♥
I vow to be kind.
Kindness
is in short supply these days,
dear Charlie . . .
I can see already
that you are a very busy man. 🙂
Trust in a higher power, I am not alone.
Listen to my intuition.
Be open to possibilities.
Do not live in fear.
Be the Love.
🕊️♥️
Remember we are in this thing called life, together.
“Together”
being key . . .
holding you in my heart,
dear Yram ♥
with love . . .

Simplify. Stop, look, go.
Yes, Christine, I agree!
Simplify.

Carla, Thanks for reminding me of the importance of a sense of humor!

Forgive yourself, be kind to yourself, you are strong and resilient.
Yes!
