3. Day 10: A Wellspring of Energy
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 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...

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...
Read More3. Day 6: Centeredness or Spin?
Guilt worries. I never realized this about guilt, but it’s true. Guilt worries about what will happen as well as worries about what won’t happen. Guilt worries about what you should have done, what she could have said and what he shouldn’t have even thought of. Worry is central to guilt’s mantra of ” this is not enough”. So let’s connect again to your enoughness. Right now. No, don’t skim ahead to see if there is something new or more interesting. Right now is enough. Right here, on this page. It is enough to be...
