11. Day 8: Extreme Love Uses It All
I am experiencing the law of attraction in a most helpful manner. Since I have begun my month of extending love to the fear of success people are literally coming out of the woodwork to help, assist, offer a new perspective and cheer me on with great suggestions. I have received videos, articles, memes that have truly helped me on my journey to opening to how success is but another part of me, not separate from me. It is as if success itself, even the idea of it, is a light shining into my depths to show me my tight or dark places resistant to loving. One such thought was a meme sent by...

Last night I was in bed by 8 o’clock. I was knackered after a long but fabulous day. We used a new venue for our quarterly director meeting which meant getting there early, working out quirks, setting up tables and chairs, finding outlets, figuring out how a new projector works etc. Then a full energy meeting with a tremendous team. Getting together with our team is one of my favorite things to do. I get so much (learn, intuit, delight in) from them I have to remember that we are also here to work. At the end of the day my husband and I ran home in order for him to pack and get to...

You are going to love my next fear I am extending love to: “fear of success”! I kept trying to choose another one but this one just stood in the road with a sly grin on its face and said “It is my turn now”. I keep being drawn (as in being drawn then saying no, then being drawn again to seeing ALL is God and worth a look) to this rah, rah, book of Success Principles by Jack Canfield (you know, the guy who wrote the Chicken Soup for the Soul series). I always feel like sh** when I read these success type books and never get past the first chapter. But since it now seems to be my...

My desire to judge a situation as hurtful-therefore-I-must-fix-this was revealed yesterday. I am seeing today, that the first thing that happens is that I judge a thing as hurtful to someone. I could just stop at “first I judge”, the “what I judge” is much like the “of” as in what am I afraid “of”. It is the fear itself all over again. Judgement is fear. Full stop. I could make a case for “because I am aware of this hurt I am supposed to do something about it”. The thing that eludes me is the fact that I am skipping over all...
Read More10. Day 23: Someone Radically Blessed
I have always felt blessed throughout my life. Even in the desert times, the uncertain times or the plainly ridiculous God-you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-? times. I am not unfamiliar with both blessing and feeling blessed. Yesterday, though, I read my current favorite book, “A Year Without Fear” and came across a wonderful new edge to my view of blessing. The quote was a reminder that our own preciousness is far more powerful and less compromised when we do not judge others. Of course none of us see ourselves as judging others but I was exposed to the nub because though I...
Read More9. Day 29: What I Have Learned From Taking 7 Weeks Off
What have I learned from taking seven weeks off from our normal daily life? 1. There is no such thing as taking off from daily life. (life and the dailiness continues, just differently) 2. Life continues too, abundantly 3. The trip really began when we allowed ourselves to think it was possible (this began in intention over a year ago, in reality over six months ago) 4. It all started with this thought: We’d love to return to England. 5. We can only take off from our businesses because we have an incredible, trustworthy, capable team taking care of day to day business 6. I miss...
