4. Day 25: That’s What Friends Are For
I think the hardest thing to let go is what I think about something. 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 on my book shelf caught my eye. This is significant because I look at the book shelf every day and today one book literally called to me. It must be just what I need right now. I...

The sharing of this letting go required two days worth to include both Australian and American sides of the story. 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 has come before the seeming “moment” of letting go. In this case my daughter’s arrival began in the middle of the night in Brisbane, Australia with a...

I am loving the bounty being showered upon me with this extending love to my epic fears project (which has become my daily practice). My friend Bartholomew, who I would describe as another voice and flavor of Love has written the most beautiful and perfect piece on fear which I will share below. I want to add a few thoughts (please feel free to extend love to this thought if it is shocking or frightening in any way) about what is sometimes called channeled writing or speaking. In the past 30 or so years there have been quite a number of channeled writings or speakings: Seth, Bartholomew,...

Just in case anyone is feeling tired of looking fear in the eyes I will let you know I am feeling a bit the same way. I mean, why can’t we just focus on love? I am realizing that is exactly what is happening with my willingness to look at fear. Fear IS just a call for love and looking at it is answering in love. So let’s dive into another fear from the “21 Fear Salute”, shall we? 5. The Fear of Vastness Me: Holy Spirit, “the fear of vastness” seems like the same fear as “fear of the bigger picture”, is it? How can I extend love to...
Read More1. Day 25: Love Is Vast Enough
I am feeling a little (actually A LOT) cornered by time. My week is full. Help! This thought, a benediction from my heart revives me: Love is vast enough to hold all my time, appointments, plans and schedule. This bears repeating. Every five minutes if needed: LOVE IS VAST ENOUGH (Love Is –inhale….Vast Enough–exhale x repeat as needed) Me: What do I need right now? I feel ever so slightly fidgety and rushed. This is the part of commitment I question; it takes up a lot of space and energy. Here I am, in my quiet time, and thoughts, ideas, ponderings keep popping...
