9. Day 1: A Month Of Living Joy
After a number of epic traveling days which included a rugby match at Twickenham, an advent feast in the Cotswolds with old army friends and a day of networking with the fantastic team at BNI UK headquarters I needed to hear the Holy Spirit on a deep level. Me: What do I need to know right now in my travels? HS: Dearest One, Welcome to your day and living joy. Traveling is a bountiful way to experience yourself unconditionally in all conditions. You will be in many experiences which will bring up much forgotten within you, this not-knowing that arises may take you by surprise but you may...
Read More8. Day 1: Not-Knowing Feels Vulnerable
After an epic month of honesty it is time for quiet of a different flavor. Now it is time to open up to a new month’s focus of extending love. What is coming to me is extending love to not-knowing. There are so many things (to infinity really) I don’t know. I strive, struggle, hope for, wheedle, beg, demand, need …….TO KNOW. I have always wanted to know ‘why’ and ‘how’ and ‘who’; I want to know what’s next, what’s for dinner and why does my toe itch? I am constantly in a state of negotiation with Knowing trying to...

Whoa! As I keep walking this path of a twelvemonth of self love, the fear of honesty just appeared on my radar. I feel like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming coal truck. This must be what I most need to extend love to next because my heart clenched and I thought “NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo………..” and then I thought “But I AM honest, aren’t I??!” Holy heck, my heart is racing and I already feel guilty. Guilty of what?? Being dis-honest?? I am honest to a fault in my outer life. I relentlessly go the speed limit, I prepare to stop...

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 month I am devoting to extending love to FEAR AS...
Read More5. Day 2: Walking A Mile In My Own Shoes
Let’s begin extending love to EVERY DAY by doing something every day that needs love. Thus, I walked one mile with our corgi, Rugby. It felt really good and coolish in the early morning after the heat yesterday. I wasn’t planning on taking the dog but he appeared at the back door as soon as he saw my tennis shoes come out of the closet. He loves walking so much that he actually kept my normally lackadaisical pace up enough to get my blood pumping. These thoughts were crowding in my mind like some kind of filled to the brim dessert tray: I want to do this/ I don’t want to...
