1. Day 26: The Unfolding of Joy
I am feeling slow-ish and tired (headache too) from last days of frenetic activity. I have so much to do before tomorrow……… “I Am Here Now” Quiet Blanket Tea Candle Clock-tick Heartbeat Breath Comfort Uninterrupted Peace I noticed in the whirl of yesterday that fear of commitment without the fear is just commitment. Me: Why have I feared commitment in work (especially) for so long? HS: Because your fear kept you from remembering your heart, your Self. As soon as this happens all is fraught with struggle and backwards thinking. You have always thought you should be able to see the...
Read More1. Day 21: Commitment, a Difference of Opinion
I spoke yesterday of the onslaught of experiences being sustained by my nearest and dearest. This gives me a perfect opportunity to extend love to my fear of commitment. Here is where commitment, in my opinion, goes awry. I am fully committed to my beloved partner of 30 plus years. I also am beginning to be fully committed to my own heart. So what happens when we see things differently and want to approach how to help someone in distress in totally different ways? Here is the very helpful answer from Holy Spirit, one that I will return to again and again when opinions differ amongst...

What DO I really want? I want commitment to matter, to show, to have a purpose. I want it to lead to revelation or greater awareness to Love’s presence and a greater awareness of my own strength, holiness and delight. If I’m honest, I feel commitment will also lead to a created form, a body of work or experience that is useful, precious and lovingly beneficial to all. I need to extend love to not knowing if commitment serves a grander purpose or is going to be truly useful and beneficial: I extend transparency to this thought. HS: Precious One, As with all things, Love’s motive and...

Holy Spirit and I look in the mirror together: HS: Dearest One, I see a woman who has spent her whole life loving and caring for others; dolls, friends, teachers, parents, husband, children, members, clients and now is discovering that one person was left out of that loving circle of care. You, your Self, and I Am. Dearest One, you have done nothing wrong by caring for others or for forgetting your own dear Self. The real Beauty here is that you did hear your Self calling and you answered. This is where the real juice is for this is where memory and future become one, this is where the...

I am feeling less daunted by my commitment to this Twelvemonth practice of extending love to epic fears. I feel supported, guided and curious within myself about where we are going. In the beginning, when the idea was first forming I thought I knew where I would start (money, food, stress etc.) but when fear of commitment was suggested by Holy Spirit I knew this would be a journey for me instead of just by me. Yesterday I heard my commitment calling like a friend who wanted to play rather than a taskmaster who demanded perfection. I couldn’t help but join in the fun. If I think of 365...
