3. Day 11: Holy Spirit Makes Lemonade
Hello guilt. I am feeling you now. I missed a family graduation and it is doing me in. I gave a gift and said bravo and much happiness etc but I am not there. I didn’t send flowers (or balloons or organized a mariachi band). We have been there for other events and I feel wretched for missing this one. I absolutely should DO/BE more. Ugh. I hate feeling less than whole. It seems there is no tad or taste or bit of guilt; a little guilt sours the whole. Me: How can I deal with feelings of not good enough? HS: Enough is good. Good is enough. You think in terms of...

To my constant feeling of “I should be more, do more, & have fun every moment” self: I extend GRATITUDE to this self. HS: Dearest One, This is a wellspring of universal energy not a guilt trip. The reminder of the infinite power of love that you are is your take-away, not that you are NOT love enough. Guilt was designed as a reminder of your value, worth and nature of love, for when you experience guilt and feel a less-than-ness you simply stop and remember you are enough. Let guilt remind you of only this: you are you. You are not someone else. You are not somewhere...

The busyness that is often my life has been on full tilt and today I can barely believe I have time to sit and write. So, I will do what I often do when inundated with life: Give Thanks. I am so grateful I have loving family who cares enough to drop everything and come to celebrate with us. I am delighted that my daughter is soon to be a graduate of UC Davis. I am thankful for our home, transportations, friends coming together to celebrate with us and for those who can’t make the trip but are sending much love and applause. I am grateful for our businesses and all who dwell within...

Holy Spirit continues remind me of the truth about me. As I was writing my last post I clicked a button and lost everything. Because I was in that beautiful space with Holy Spirit I really noticed how I wanted to beat myself up for this mistake and waste of my time but didn’t. I wanted to be annoyed and throw up my hands and say “Forget it!” but I did not. Something the HS had just said kept ringing true for me: Guilt is not the truth about you. This is music to my ears, Holy Spirit, play on! HS: Guilt is not the truth about you. Guilt is an effort to cover over...
Read More3. Day 7: Ancient Bank Account of Should
Am I the only one who is feeling the enormity of extending love to guilt? Where do I begin? how do I proceed? HS: Dearest One, Guilt is not nearly as complicated as you believe. Guilt is a long term, ancient bank account of should. You have been making deposits into this account from before your birth. Guilt firmly believes something should not happen or be: a crime, a thought, an omission, a presence, an amount, an event, a person, a race, a position. Both should NOT or should declare “This cannot be.” The truth is, it isn’t. All the terrible things you have done...
