4. Day 16: Your Joint Purpose Will Be Served
We celebrate another momentous occasion this day. My daughter’s beloved is being commissioned as a 2nd LT in the Air Force. We are so proud of this accomplishment. A self determination to serve this country vowed silently to his young self on that September 11th; such a beautiful following of his inner guidance. Letting go today of the undergrad years, the doubts, the worries of getting a slot for field training. Today we also need to complete my daughter’s move and get to the Capitol in time to witness the miracle of service...

Today is a big day of let down, letting go and giving thanks. This passage really opened my eyes to letting go of ignoring my body and instead, on purpose, extend love to my body: “Cells are not the thinking part of this body mind union. They are receptive and their function is to await the directive of the mind. What you give as a directive is what the cells will pay attention to. Every moment of your life you have the opportunity to bathe you own cellular structure with gratitude, love and appreciation.” ...

After yesterday’s miles and moment, today bring another opportunity to let go and let God (like I could do anything else). Today my daughter is moving out of her college flat and we get to be the movers and the shakers. But first I begin the day, thankfully, in the early morning peace and quiet on the back porch. I am too tired for anything but for the Holy Spirit to speak to me in poetry, our original love language. These haiku were the balm and nourishment I needed. “Haiku Ka-choo” Breeze flows peace against my skin an...

I am not sure yet what my long string of tremendously busy days is actually for but I am pretty sure I was given the answer up front with this month’s extending love to the fear of letting go. This day went from 4:30am -11:30pm, it went from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe [back to Sac then] to San Fransisco Bay and back home again. The day included business meetings, readying the house between visitors, laundry, groceries, traffic, an unbelievably deep and restorative power nap (thank you Jesus!), a brilliant dinner, a hilarious discovery...

Good Morning and welcome Holy Spirit! Thank you for the amazing flow of letting go during these weeks of visitors, trips, parties and momentous occasions. I was so conscious of the feeling letting to that when a withdrawing, tensing or annoyance came I would remember to let letting go free. I am tired, but not completely exhausted. I am ready to return the house to “normal” (or at least get the laundry done) even as I have loved having our family and friends stay here. Thank you for this practice of letting go (over and over...

I believe my letting go practice is very much about letting go of my unwillingness to fully inhabit my joy. I am a naturally “upbeat’ person, laugh easily, enjoy the littlest of things (like brushing my teeth or the sound of my children chewing) but I recognize that I have such a deep sense of worry for the welfare of others that I am distracted from being fully aware of my own joy. It is perfect timing to find this beautiful book “Journeys With A Brother” by Bartholomew and the Dalai Lama. This is the story of a...

Yesterday I uncovered my unwillingness for joy. I still don’t know quite how this is happening so naturally I asked Holy Spirit to share more on this topic of joy and my [apparent] unwillingness for it. HS: Dearest One, You are unwilling for joy because you believe you are unworthy of this state. You cite other sadness and grief in the world as your reason to not fully in habit your joyous, joyful, joy abiding Self. Hear this and do not waiver. You are the joy that will allow, encourage, inspire and lead your brothers in this world...

Thank you for this letting go practice (in my twelvemonth of self love). I really needed it this month. There have been so many epic events one right after another that without letting go each and every day I would have completely expired. Focussing on letting go right now is giving me the experience of really being in the moment. Since I keep letting go thoughts, plans, memories, should’s etc I am feeling the power of NOW. Strangely it seems both a big deal and not a big deal. Epic and mundane. Amazing and ordinary. I feel like...
read more4. Day 8: Be Still
I am feeling the BIGNESS of all that is going on right now. The BIG milestones (graduations, weddings, reunions) are just so huge I am having a hard time focussing on the details. Thank you for my guidance in all of this, thank you for the accomplishments of all concerned and thank you for all the miracles that have occurred along the way to make it all possible. To be honest there is a lot to let go of. What do I need right now? HS: Precious One, Be still and know that I am God. I will and do care for you in infinite and intimate ways....
read more4. Day 7: Self Takes Care Of Self
With so many lovely visitors I am having a hard time getting my eating right. Too much or too little at all the wrong times. I end up eating just to give myself a bit of slow down time and then end up too slowed down. Ugh. I feel the results of stress but am only in the middle of happy things, can that be stressful too? What can I do? HS: Let go of a meal today. Me: Good idea. I will go against habit and skip my smoothie for breakfast. How else can I eat more whole food and deal with the stress of such a busy time? HS: Dearest One,...
