Fear of Letting Go – A Twelvemonth of Self Love https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com Sat, 06 Sep 2014 02:00:33 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.9 67752113 4.

Not as in a platitude but in reality. I have everything I need because my heart is everything I need. In my heart are desires, guidance, delights and I need but follow them and I end up experiencing peace in the midst of whatever is going on.

Day 30: Letting Go Of Today https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/4-day-30-letting-go-of-today/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/4-day-30-letting-go-of-today/#respond Wed, 30 Jul 2014 12:06:49 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=1548 As my month of extending love to the fear of letting go wraps up I stand in gratitude for all I have come to see. A mere four weeks ago (!) I held tightly to all I loved (and even to anything I didn’t love, now that I think about it) and could see no other way of being. The month my Holy Friend chose for me to remind myself of the Love that I am in the form of a month of extending love to the fear...

This is an ACTUAL legal happening, I realized. Two people will be officially married when the ceremony is done. As the hugeness of this rose in my awareness I extended much love to my thoughts as I...

This feels infinitely truer in every way. As I am becoming friendly with the Vastness [of Love] I notice anything and everything that can help me let go into that Love that I am. This quote from “Journeys With A Brother” is a perfect meditation on space which helps shift my focus from my thoughts to Love. Extending love to space is...

Day 26: The Monotony Of Doubt https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/4-day-26-the-monotony-of-doubt/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/4-day-26-the-monotony-of-doubt/#comments Sat, 26 Jul 2014 12:09:49 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=1497 It always amazes me how I can doubt (or fear or be annoyed) after feeling the face of God in my very hands. Yesterday I felt I could just about walk on water and today I wonder who in the heck is sitting here in my place. The list of worries and doubts in my journal are laughable (from being a bad cousin to ‘WHY doesn’t the dog stop licking?’ to “Is my blog worthwhile?”). The whole thing makes my...

Especially when that “something” is, in fact, nothing. I am beginning to see I am not letting go of something, I am simply allowing myself to live with hands (and eyes and heart) wide open. I am not letting go of something I have a hold of, I am just letting go of thinking I have a hold of something. This morning a book sitting...

When I think of letting go...

Well, actually, it has required 21 years (and counting). Today is my youngest daughter’s 21st birthday. It is cause for celebration, shopping, laughing, candles, champagne………..and reflection. I am beginning to realize the gift of letting go is most often in the reflection of all that...

Where do I need my awareness to grow? HS: Let us nestle together in peace now. Abide in me as I abide in you. Bring me the treasures of my heart that I may once again know the truth. “How Do I Love Thee?” How do I love Thee, let me count the...

This spiritual path of knowing and trusting that not only God is Love but Love is God called me by name and I could not NOT answer. It would have been easier staying in church but that felt so limiting somehow. No doubt it was a limit I imposed on myself but even though I am happy where and who I am, I long for the old days of certainty. This is a path...
