"Let us not love in word or speech but in deed and truth"
John 3:18
It is January. A time for new beginnings. There are lonely places in my life and I want to change that. This is the year to fill those places with golden nuggets of friendship and love. To allow my Self to open and receive while letting go of the dirt mixed with the gold that I have held onto.
This year I want to notice the miracles in my life...oh, they have been noticed before but sometimes only enjoyed a short time before I allowed my thoughts to think me. When this happens, the thoughts run rampant, moving my focus to futures not there yet or what is wrong in my life. This is the year I will choose my thinking. I will pay attention to the whispers of Spirit and not only talk about it but do the deed and reveal the truth of my Soul. It is time.
Somewhere I have read that we are all just walking each other home and I see that this is true. Parents die, friends die, the children of friends die. We are shocked and devastated even if there has been some forewarning. We are given a debilitating diagnosis and wonder how this can happen to us. Our husbands reveal how unhappy they are and our hands are bound because only they can make the changes necessary to unwrap the hidden gem of joy. We lose a dog, a house, a job, a leg, and then we are immersed in devastating thoughts about these things and believe our worlds have fallen apart.
This is the year I will have compassion for my Self and my friends but I will not see them or myself in our weakness. No more. It is time to live the truths that have been revealed to me over and over again. Like Mother Theresa saw the face of Jesus in the diseased and hungry people in the streets of Calcutta it is time to see the beautiful true Spirit inside our human weakness.
My intention for this year is to live in this knowing. Holding on to the truth that miracles are always available to us. Sometimes that means spontaneous healing and sometimes it means loving the transition to the next realm.
I do not know what this year will hold for me though I written five things I want to create. I won't reveal those 5 things today but I hope that you will join me on this journey of life on planet earth as I set out to create these desires. I will share what happens from my truth in the knowing that you are a fellow traveler and perhaps a layer of remembrance will be revealed.
Sending love and appreciation to you...
Until next time...
