Buddha Babies - The Sun in My Tum Tum

How do you explain to your children about their soul, God, and why we are here?  I’m experimenting each new day.  Mainly with an open mind, lots of helpful articles, books, tips, my heart and definitely a dose of silly and fun.  I want us to take life seriously and our contribution seriously, but it MUST be a fun and loving experience.  

Spirituality is fun.  Loving God is fun.  Loving the God IN you is fun.  Doing things like praying, giving, sharing, and growing our little spirits each day with knowledge and laughter is fun.  That’s the point of these articles. 

I labeled God as boring in my past.  I labeled God as someone outside of me in my past.  The more I accept myself as a part of God and a source to live through him the more patience, love and acceptance I have for myself and all.  I want the same for my children.  I want them to understand their power and step into it now.  Not when they are grown up!  Now! 

My beaming little sparks of light shine so brilliantly now with their pure hearts, loving intentions, and sweet perceptions.  Let’s help encourage them to keep this spark of divine energy that God gifted us burning brightly each and every day.  Let’s teach them to bring in the sacred and spread the sunshine.  Blessings.

The Sun in My Tum Tum

There is a brilliant and golden sun residing in your tum tum.
It's a beautiful, bright and luminous light shining deep inside.
You may not see it, but I know you will feel it.

Without you knowing it's there sparkling, shimmering and glowing.
It's the fuzzy feeling or sensation you get when you share the love of your spirit.
It's that warmth in your heart that expands when you lend a helping hand.
It sparks a twinkle in your eyes when you smile big and bright.

You may brighten your light by choosing to do what feels right.
Your glow within will expand out by loving who you are without fear or doubt.

You may know others who wish for your light to be dimmed.
They may say and do things that will cause you to hurt within.
When this happens know that what they speak of is surely not so.
Take a deep breath and illuminate the glow in your soul.
Know that you are safe, perfect and whole.

You’re doing it right if you feel the love inside you and then share it times two.
Every kind word and generous act will lovingly impact all and that’s a fact.
Act and live in everyday by using your guiding star.
Spread your sunshine, shine your light, and be the luminous light that you are.

Why feel "ho hum" when you’re capable of shining as bright as the sun?
Breathe in love and radiate peace.  Try it!  It’s helpful and fun!

We need your brilliant light to illuminate day and night.
Pay attention to your glow and be sure to keep it warm and bright.
Be sure to notice what makes your light sparkle and grow.
Then do more of it to increase the warmth and enhance the glow.
By doing so you will encourage others around you to take note and follow.
You have the world to change so give it a go.

Danielle, in her own words: I am a young woman seeking out ways to help and heal my life.  I am releasing my fears and worries to enlighten and lift my being in order to better myself, my children and the world around me.  I am learning to be responsible for my energy and my contribution.  I live in tiny town in the middle of Illinois on 2 beautiful sandy lakes surrounded by family.  I have 14 beautiful healthy nieces and nephews and 2 amazingly bright children that help me to live life on the silly side.  Children are so pure and free to be.  They inspire me to let loose and live optimistically. Danielle writes the column "Buddha Babies."
