6. Day 5: This Place Of Pure Energy
I have been buoyed and transported to a new place with the revelation of “THERE IS NOTHING WRONG”. I keep finding juicy quotes that are making me wonder if it is time I took off the knitted scarf of tiredness and create something different. These are just some of the quotes that have me all a flutter: “As we are architects of our reality with the power to rearrange the atoms of matter itself, what problem cannot be solved and what solutions could possibly be beyond our reach?”—-p. XV introduction “For...

Our daughter is studying abroad for her fall term and leaves for the UK today. She will be in Bath but will stay in London a few days to acclimatize, then spend some lovely days with good friends in Norfolk and Sheffield (A BIG thank you to Dan and Louise!!). This study abroad has led rather neatly to the obvious next step. I must go to London. Or rather WE must go to London. My tiredness however is no longer my own, it has spilled over into my household and after finding ourselves utterly and completely spent after months and years of...

I have been aware of my mantra of tiredness for weeks. My daily blogging has allowed me to see just how constantly I affirm this. I had a very full week last week and needed a 20 min nap between appointments. Just as I laid down this phrase came to me, like a feather floating up in front of me: “My tiredness is a knitted scarf. It is beautiful, intricate and well made. Yet it is 120 degrees. What now?” I fell into a deep albeit short sleep. I woke feeling refreshed and couldn’t get the image of my tiredness as...

I notice immediately that if my bedfellow, tiredness, is going to get out of bed then I must connect to something deeper, truer, more whole that tiredness allows me to feel. For this reason I am returning to another practice gleaned from my Voice for Love ministerial study and the Five Steps to Hearing Gods Voice. Step 1 is Extend love to your thoughts. Step 2 is Feel the Holy Spirit. I remembered how incredible the first times I became aware of Holy Spirit as a feeling, or feelings. I feel as if, perhaps, I have drifted away from that...

In my recent post Tiredness Is A Tunnel To Truth I wrote of my ever present companion tiredness. I have been noticing how often I say or think “I’m tired” or “I am exhausted” or the after-hours version “I’m pooped” or knackered, without oxygen, dead, flat or fried. It is all some version of *NOT* living in light, abundance and joy. As I neared the end of my month of extending love to EVERY DAY I couldn’t help but notice the other EVERY DAY in my life was tiredness. Or was it? This...
read more5. Day 31: A Malleable Kindness
Holy Spirit, you spoke yesterday about my awareness expanding out to the stars. That is rather intriguing. Can you tell me more about this and how is relates to this month of EVERY DAY. Thank you Friend. HS: EVERY DAY is the way you melt into the expansion of your awareness. If you were to become aware of your Awareness all at once you could be overwhelmed and experience such shock it would take eons for you to recover. This game of life you enjoy on this earth is just one way you are expanding on the awareness that you are. Fear not...

Holy Spirit, this month of extending love to the fear of EVERY DAY is coming to an end. Is there a final message or practice you can share to make this month feel complete? HS: Dearest One, You think you have learned to show up every day yet what you are learning is that you already show up every day. Your awareness of this truth is what has become evident. Anything that increases your awareness of Love’s presence is useful to all hearts. And everything is being used to increase your awareness of Love’s Presence. Every day, I...
read more5. Day 29: Do You Have EVERY DAY Awareness?
One thing I have noticed in my extending love to my old fear of EVERY DAY is that I have strengthened my awareness of my awareness. I know that sounds like double talk but I believe I actually am and have Awareness all the time. It might even be what I call Holy Spirit or at least it is how I connect to Holy Spirit (or Consciousness or the Universe or Divine MInd). In strengthening my awareness of the Awareness I am becoming attuned to my walk of holiness that unfolds EVERY DAY. I sense the ever presence of that undefined something that...

I have just had the most unsettling experience. I have recently started a regular pest control service and in the initial consultation had to come face to face with something I simply have zero desire to extend love to. Rats. We have noticed the odd rodent scampering down a vine in our yard when our dog Rugby immediately announces the alarm bark . I also have noticed cobwebs, spiders etc and thought it was time to get our service back. As I was sitting there smiling while the nice man described all the horrible things rats do (according...
read more5. Day 27: What Do You Do When EVERY DAY Is A Sentence?
It would be so easy to glibly go about my daily walk, happy for the many revelations I have had and leave it there. But what about when EVERY DAY is a sentence like with a diagnosis of a rare and vicious cancer, or a sudden terrible death or an actual prison sentence for crimes real or assumed? What about the gifts of EVERY DAY then? Do they exist? How do you find the gift of EVERY DAY when every day you are faced with the unfolding of a very real event that threatens your self or someone you love? This kind of EVERY DAY feels the...
