I will not bow down and be a slave to attachment.
I will not walk in the valley of fear.
I will not ransom my soul for a dollar not even a million could bring me near.
I will not bow down to mediocrity.
I will not drink from the cup of greed. I will not hustle the Holy Spirit.
I would not dare. I would not dare.
I do not seek for vain glory.
My place is with the humble and the free.
Truth is my light and my salvation.
Love is my key, it opens every door before I get there.
It is my destiny. I will not bow to any idols.
I will not bow in deceit.
I will not drink from the cup unforgiveness
I will take the road less traveled.
If it means I can BE free.

So much noise in the world.
To much noise
Turn it off.
Turn it down.
What MUST be heard comes from within.
Shhhhh
Be still.
Can you hear it?
Shhhh
The small whisper of love, hope, and renewal.
So many seek outside voices and noises
They are so overrated,
Extremely overrated.
Shhhh
Go within.
Listen deeply.
Your soul knows the truth and what is right for you.
shhhh
Listen…..

About missing you! Yes, like an old friend that you have not talked to in a while. I am missing connecting with you here on the blog and I thought you might be missing me too 
xox. In fact I want to hear more from you more often in the future. I would love to know if you have any questions you would like me to answer? I am collecting question to answer on my Vlog coming soon. Or if you just want to send a thank you letter or love note, suggestions, request. I always love those too! Here is my email addy askmarie@mariecornelio.com
Written with a bold permanent marker read a sign that said” TAKE WHAT YOU NEED”
When I looked in the old worn box, inside was the most kind ,sweet and precious handmade scarves, crotched hats, and all in an assortment of rainbow colors. Just looking at them made you smile and feel happy.
I mentioned to the receptionist how sweet it was for the cancer center to offer such nice scarves and hats to the chemo patients at the center.
The receptionist smiled and said” a kind woman donates and brings them to the center each week”.
The nurse registered my aunt for her appointment and we all waited for her to go to the treatment room.
As I sat there, I started to think to myself. I would really like to do something kind and loving for the patients at the cancer center. After a few days of brainstorming, I decided I would create supportive, encouraging paintings and donate them and that’s, just what I did.
However, the sign on the old worn box lingered and made an impression on me that day. I thought to myself! How many times do people forget to really take what they need in life. Can you imagine if everyone would start to take what they needed and when they needed it? How much more simple and kind life would be. Life is so fragile. We are not promised tomorrow. We must make the most of this precious life we have been given. Everyday! We must have fun and enjoy life to the fullest. Here are few simple tips to help encourage you to start to live in the present and start to take what you really need in life.
1. Give yourself permission: To put yourself first and take what you
really need and when you really need it . Example: Could be as simple as
a nap, vacation, quick break, ask for that raise on the job, start that
business, start that mission work or non-profit, maybe buy that new piece of furniture
you been needing.
2. Stop putting yourself last: When we put ourselves last you are taking
your own power away. You are telling the universe and everyone around you
that you are not worth anything. Dear heart, that is so far from the truth.
You are worth 1000% of the love and energy you give away each day to everyone else.
3. Take the help: When others offer you help, take it. You are not
superwomen nor superman so be willing to take and ask for help when you
need it.
4. Don’t feel guilty: When you take what you really need. Enjoy it and savor it and be
present in the moment and really appreciate it.
5. Give thanks: Be grateful for the opportunity to take what you need and
always be grateful for all your blessings.
6. Less is more: Do not feel like you have to take everything and do
everything and be everywhere. Just be yourself.! Give up on trying to
compete with everyone else or needing the approval of others to feel like
you are enough or important. Gorgeous, you are enough just by being you. Remember only
take what you really need in life. To much of anything is never good.
7. Be a Giver: After you take what you need in life. Give to others what they may need. Look for ways to be of service.
There is no greater joy in life then being a giver. The gift is in the giving!
I hope these few tips gave you something to think about. I hope they will encourage, inspire and help you to take what you need in life and encourage you to allow others in your life to take what they need too. If more people would take what they needed and only what they need and only when they need it. There would be more happy, content and peaceful people in our world and there would be a lot less anger, resentment, anxiety, burn out and overwhelm. So take what you need!

Glorious Beauty
It’s in our deepest vulnerability that our deepest glorious beauty lies.
When we are raw, naked and exposed
The Light that shines from deep within is revealed
If you are brave enough
Be gentle
Take off the mask’s
There is nothing to be afraid of
Be real
Be Free
Be You
The glorious, imperfect and yet perfect soul
YOU
Cracked, crazy, wanting, giving, sharing, craving
YOU
Be YOU
Yes!
What a Glorious Beauty……
