WOW…I said that?

Welcome to “WOW…I said that?” Nope, it’s not a game show (although it does sound like one!).  Every Wednesday I will pick a comment (from the past week) that is really amazing and share it with you.  I will highlight the author’s blog and create an affirmation from the comment that the honoree can keep.  Like I have said many times before, we all have such wonderful wisdom to share…and this is my way of saying thank you.  I really do appreciate your comments and this is my way of giving back.

So without further ado…may I introduce:

The Chic Geek

The Chic Geek writes straight from the heart.  Her blog is always warm and inviting.  Take a look at her bookshelf too…she’s always reading something interesting and thought provoking.   So please do stop by her blog and take a look around.

The Chic Geek’s comment comes from my post on trusting.

“The thing that I found, though, is that by shielding myself from life and not stepping out to trust again I was only hurting my heart. I was not able to live to my fullest capacity. For me, I just turn everything over to God. I don’t worry and I trust that the best is going to come out of every situation life puts me in, either through lessons learned or actually blessings. Life is good when you live in trust. You do become a more loving and hopeful person. I think it is better to take a risk and step out in trust…it is so amazing how the universe works when we are not afraid. We can truly live our very best lives!”

Wasn’t that just wonderful!

OK…Chic Geek, please email me at thezeninyou@gmail.com and I will email you the affirmation.

    Great one, I have learned that without my trusting in God, nothing works. Without Him, I am nothing. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Caroline — You always come up with such clever ideas! I agree that sometimes what is said in the comment box deserves extra mention. That’s the beauty of blogging… it’s win-win. As a blogger, you share your thoughts, but also receive wonderful comments from people, like Chic Geek. I think the affirmation is a wonderful gift, as well:~)

    Turn everything over to God is the key to learning how to surrender. Most people are conditioned to resist what is or to selectively ignore what matters. You remind readers simplicity beckons.
