Blessings
Customer Rating:
I love this book. It is very uplifting and gives me hope. Julia Cameron has such a way of putting words together. She paints pictures with words. Beautiful.
The picture on the cover is awsome. Someday I would like to see the painting. It is himmel and erde (heaven and earth).
Good one!
Customer Rating:
A wonderful book with many wonderful "blessings" selections to read aloud and share. A friend uses this regularly before guided meditations. Selections are short and sweet.
perfect level of spirituality
Customer Rating:
This is JC at her best. This little book is not preachy but fresh in its approach on all angles of life, with easy reading in a pleasant format. I bought it for myself when I was going thru some tough emotional times several years ago, and still keep it around to read a page from here and there, just for perspective. More recently, I bought it for someone dear to me who has just gone thru a divorce. It's uplifting and genuine in its gentle message.

I truly consider myself blessed . . . so when I saw a friend had a book called BLESSINGS: PRAYERS AND DECLARATIONS FOR A HEARTFUL LIFE (see also Section 11) by Julia Cameron, I aturally asked to borrow it . . . and I'm glad that I did.
This is a short book of prayers and declarations that can be read in one sitting or spread over time . . . it reminded me of how good it is to be alive and, also, made me more fully appreciate the beauty that surrounds me.
Each blessing is preceded by an introductory quote . . . two that I particularly liked:
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.--Seneca
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity--Albert Einstein
Virtually every blessing touched me . . . however, to give you a feel for the material, here's one I thought you might enjoy reading:
I love others for their true self
I bless and salute the divine goodness available for all human beings and in all human beings. I allow people to be uniquely themselves, bringing their true natures and true gifts to our relationships. I do not demand that those who love me change their essential nature for my comfort. I express them my nature. I tell them my truth. I do not hide or pretend I am different form what I am. I trust that each of us is a perfect part of the divine whole. I trust that each of us is as lovable as we are. I allow originality, inventiveness, and variability in my loving relationships. I invite the unique souls in my life to love me as their true selves allow.
