6. Day 15: Why I Love Mondays……
Would you believe that my revelation about me bringing the momentous, was, well, um…….momentous?! I know I could use another word (amazing, perspective shifting, huge) but I might as well stick with what I know. Here is the thing that is opening me up, I still tend toward the celebratory, the over the top and the colorful but as I spend more and more time with Holy Spirit I am beginning to sense the true Vastness of our being love. And that really is momentous on an infinite scale. I can see that rather than letting the moment...

Recently one of my daughters received some unexpected news. Not earth shattering, but life rearranging, tedious and upending nevertheless. I was ready at my post with more positive spin and cheer than with true being-in-the-moment-with-them. Of course I knew I had spoken the words that would least help when the response was a drooping, tight-lipped silence. Darn it. I really do want to be helpful, kind and present but somehow my response was received as brassy and too much. Later I was chided with these words: “Why do you always...

Yesterday I shared with you a practice by which you can feel the Holy Spirit within yourself. I thought I might share my own experience today so you know whatever you feel is ok. The first thing I felt this morning as I took time to feel into the Holy Spirit was my old friend resistance. Ugh. This is what resistance looks like for me: thoughts, thoughts and more thoughts. Some of the thoughts try to masquerade as useful or helpful like “What does it MEAN to feel the Holy Spirit?”, “You can’t feel anything, let...
read more6. Day 12: Feel The Holy Spirit
Many times a day I am pausing to feel the Holy Spirit within me as a way of extending love to my tiredness. I am reminded to do this even by my friend Bartholomew: “Love is not just a thought; love is a physical sensation. It is a motion within the physical body that produces a wondrous warmth and sense of well-being, in the face of anything that might be happening.”——–Planetary Brother, by Bartholomew p. 122 This definition of unconditional love below sounds exactly like what I am hoping to uncover as my daily...

![6. Day 11: The [unintended] Gift of Terrorism](https://i0.wp.com/www.twelvemonthselflove.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/IMG_9181.jpg?resize=184%2C184&ssl=1)
The gift of terrorism is that the horror must be faced. In its immediate aftermath there is a tear in the fabric of society and its dogmas, rules and perspective that is rent clean open. Through that rent a great gust of honesty bellows through and we all come face to face with what IS whether we like it or not. When the attacks on September 11, 2001 occurred a great honesty was unleashed across the globe. Those who committed the attacks were angry, hurt and desperate–now we all knew this for certain, even if we knew not what to do...

Holy Spirit I feel kind of stuck in this extending love to tiredness because honestly, I want to NOT feel tired. I want to feel whole, abundant well being and frankly tiredness is really missing the mark. I suppose it is obvious but right at this moment, I am too tired to extend love to tiredness. Whether it is me or not I just want to sit here and do nothing. For some reason I feel like I just got an inner high five. Is this what I need to “do” more of, nothing? Please speak to me about my practice this month and how I can...

I noticed this morning on my daily walk (this result of extending love to the fear of EVERY DAY continues because it has become a part of me) that I was aware of both the ebb and flow of energy and my new friend “There is nothing wrong.”. The significance of this is that I am judging my tiredness less and simply noticing it. It really isn’t ever present but when it is it is kind of loud and insistent. It has gotten less so as I am extending noticing, listening and welcome to this energy (or seeming lack thereof). Today...
read more6. Day 8: Peering At My Thoughts In Wonder
Since I am wanting to feel that peace and energy beyond my veil of tiredness I have been practicing feeling peace in my body, especially as it relates to needing food/rest/water etc. This consists of me listening and being quiet with my body rather than simply ignoring my body and doing whatever I wish. My daughter and I went to lunch the other day and I wanted a hamburger but what I felt into my body for peace (rather than just what I wanted) I felt my desire for a salad trio which is what I ordered. I tried to continue to feel the peace...
read more6. Day 7: How Do I Clarify The Signal?
If I want to go beyond feeling tiredness I must feel something else. What else is there? Peace. I would love to really feel peace within and through my body as well as in my heart. If the body is a communication device as A Course In Miracles says then what is my body communicating? It feels like it is communicating old thoughts: tired, slow, low energy, slow metabolism, sluggishness. Maybe I don’t have any idea what could help me feel the truth of myself as Love in my body; whole, light, energy, harmony, happiness and joy. Holy...
read more6. Day 6: There Is Nothing Wrong
Thank you for the ongoing miracle of “THERE IS NOTHING WRONG”. I must have said it a hundred times in the last couple of days. When this beautiful phrase announced itself in my consciousness a few weeks back, we were having a party for our directors in the afternoon at 4pm. We were also in the throws of preparing to drive to LA for business the next morning. I had followed my inner guidance that morning to do nothing for the party until noon, thereby giving myself a blissful and much needed quiet time. Somehow I had sent...
