12. Day 22: Kindness In Their Eyes
I have arrived safely in Chicago. It is chilly here; I had to dig my scarf and gloves out to put on while waiting for the hotel shuttle. It has been a long day but I have been guided, as directed, by “the kindness in their eyes”. I simply followed the path to which ever face held the eyes of love. And do you know what? No two faces were the same but their eyes told the story of kindness and welcome. There was the tall, clear eyed young woman in black square glasses and wispy blonde hair who helped me find out where to stand for my connecting flight out of Phoenix. It...

I notice that I use the words thoughts and feelings interchangeably. Are they the same thing in a different forms? HS: Dearest One, Feelings are often thoughts you can’t hear or don’t/wont notice. A feeling will alert you to awareness, the thought can then form more fully and translate into words of guidance, actions or stand-stillness. Feelings, then, are pre-thought. The more attuned you are to your feelings; notice, listen to, welcome and trust, the more quickly you are open to guidance and direction. Surrendering to Feeling is not the same thing as being at the mercy of...

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.) To be honest, I didn’t really want to take the time to hear these “negative” thoughts of limitation and fear. But, since I did commit to noticing and extending...

A word on fear: “Ashes to Ashes” Two black coals nearly spent of flame; my eyes can’t touch the Shekinah Glory without disintegrating into feather ash. Fear is the fire that causes the near silent conflagration. A word on love: “Can You Hear Me Now?” How do you set an intention of growth and abundance without growing abundantly? How do you set an...

I am attending the Spiritual Writers Conference run by Hay House this coming weekend in Chicago. It is one of those perfectly timed opportunities to move forward in a new way with my writing and my feelings about it are swirling. Mostly, I feel hopeful, ready and delighted to be going. 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...
