Nanice Ellis & The Pledge

Jay Hill's 2012 New Age radio show connects me to Nanice Ellis. Her uplifting energy vibration and range of endeavours inspire you to reconnect with what you are. She reminds us that the Soul demands the expeirence of Community and cannot be truly fulfilled without it. Nanice is a source of awakening and inspiration.  She draws from a range of life experience to empower people to be more true to themselves. 

"I have spent my entire life learning about community by experiencing its power and the bitter-sweet taste of its loss. For each of profound experienceof the love, support and joy that is True Community, I lived an equally powerful experience of separation and emotional isolation."

I invite you to  review her pledge.  How does it affect you? If you enjoy it, you would also enjoy this love mediation ; 
 

I pledge allegiance to myself, as I pledge allegiance to each of the following:

Love

�from this day forward I will:

• Love myself without conditions.
• Allow my love for others to always be an overflow from an over abundance of my own self love.
• Accept myself exactly as I am right now.
• Open my heart to the love and kindness coming from others; without having to think that there is a "string" attached,
• Love without conditions and cut the unhealthy "strings" and expectations I attach in all relationships.
• Take down all shields that have protected my heart.
• Forgive others for the harm I perceived done to me.
• Forgive myself; for in my attempt to protect myself from feeling hurt, I did much worse to myself than what anyone else could have done.

Self Honoring

�from this day forward I will:

• Never sacrifice myself again in order to get any needs met; this means emotionally, physically, spiritually and mentally.
• Meet my own needs and not look to others to meet my needs.
• Rid my life of anything that no longer "fits" or supports me.
• Take extreme care of my body.
• Create quiet alone-time for myself everyday - no exceptions; it is a priority.

.

Kindness

�from this day forward I will:

• Perform at least one act of kindness each day; without the need for anything in return.
• Experience gratitude for everyone and everything in my life; fully knowing that even the challenging people and experiences are gifts to me and support me in my highest good,
• Smile like it is the biggest gift I have to give - it is.
• Make new friends wherever I go.
• Brighten someone's day everyday.
• Tell the people I love, "I love you" - and stop assuming they already know.

Personal Power

�from this day forward I will:

• Approve of myself no matter where I am in life
• Hold my head high and honor myself in every way - every day for the rest of my life.
• Listen to my heart over my head - and find the place that they can both live together in harmony.
• Speak my truth and always think for myself.
• Never give my power away to anyone at anytime.
• Carve my own path in life and not just follow someone else because it seems easier - it is not.
• Uncover my creativity and allow myself to be vulnerable by creating through whatever form interests me.
• Do what I say I will do and not say I will do something when I really don't want to do it.
• Be more child-like every day; sing, dance and have fun!
• Make a list of everything I want to experience in my life and one by one, create the experience!
• Be at Choice in every area of my life.
• Take complete responsibility, without shame or self blame, for every experience, relationship and challenge in my life.

Finally, I pledge to dream bigger and bolder everyday; and as I consistently take inspired action in the direction of my dreams, I know the Universe is conspiring to make my dreams a realty.
