Your Divine Worth

This has been a topic I have been pondering, studying and learning from. Most of my life I struggled with my innate self worth, and what I didn't understand. I had it all along and was just trying to understand the mold everyone else was living. Where does your worth come from?

You may say:

My Career
My Home
My Body, Hair, Eyelashes etc...
My Temporal things
My worldly accomplishments
Etc...

Your Self worth is divine. You came from Heaven with it, you are a literal son or daughter of Divine..it was a gift given. Here on earth we use our divine worth to explore, learn, grow, develop and to slough off the natural man tendencies and the worldly definitions of worth. You have worth..just the way you are and you are a beautiful soul learning, growing, stretching and creating new every day.

Windowsill Herbs

If you don't have your own greenhouse or your lazy like me, and don't want to take a trip to the garden just to get a spring of herb in a dish your creating..an easy alternative is to place your favorite herbs in your windowsill inside your home. If you live in a four season climate like I do, you can still have fresh warming herbs like rosemary and oregano even in the winter months.
