12. Day 20: Do You Feel An Opening?
I asked Holy Spirit about extending love to the fear of feelings and was beginning to wonder if I was making any progress at all. Me: Am I even dealing with feeling in love this month? Am I even extending love to my own feelings? HS: You are accepting in peace the feelings all around you. In doing this you remain open in welcome to your own feelings. They are guiding you into the experience of peace and delight you desire. Tired, relaxed, open, questioning, fearful, doubtful, present—these are all feelings. What is it you think you are looking for? Me: Well, a physical...

In the middle of my prayers and affirmations for my time at the Spiritual Writers Conference in Chicago I felt (rather than heard) a ripple of trepidation. Then I heard this timid gathering of thoughts insisting I listen to the “What if’s?” (I imagine these to be the students gathering around a teacher’s desk reminding her she promised to let them out early if they were good and quiet.)

The other feelings of “WHAT?! It’s this weekend??? I’m not ready!!!” and the giddiness of a churning excitement is like having a whole jar of Orville Redenbacher popcorn reaching fully POP! within me. It also has me busy extending love and checking in with Holy Spirit every other...

I am nearing the end of my Twelvemonth. I began posting April 1, 2014; April Fool’s Day just seemed the perfect place to begin. I know I have many projects, writing and otherwise that will come forth in the coming months. I know I will continue posting but as yet do not have an idea of exactly how much or what it will look like. It is like looking at a very soft focus photograph, I can see the shapes and colors but not the details. I asked Holy Spirit what I needed to know at this time as I move toward completion of this particular phase of the Twelvemonth of Self Love project....
