Beloved,

I am being given many opportunities to: “Let go of what no longer serves me”. How about you? It is coming in many forms. I have wanted to change my living room furniture for quite some time now. I have been in many furniture stores but just couldn’t seem to find what I wanted, what made my heart sing. I had a love-seat with matching rocking chair and regular chair for enjoying the beautiful view of the lake, the trees, the birds, etc. They were wood framed with cushions for seats and I had another chair to sit in to watch TV. My focus in my living room is to be able to look out the windows and now my new door while I was walking by or when I was sitting watching TV. I want to be able to look at the birds, the lake, the boats going by or even the ice fishermen in winter. I put the TV to the side as it was not to be the focus of this room, it was a sideline. Part of my living room contains my altar and sacred space.

Well, I bought a sectional sofa which opened up quite a can of worms. My idea was to be able to separate the three pieces so the view of the lake could be seen from all the pieces. Do you know that sectional pieces are not finished on all sides? I did not. When it got into my home, I could not do what I originally planned. I had this monstrous long and comfortable piece of furniture that just overtook my room. Well, what do you do when you have too much of something? You start to peel away the extra by layers until you can breathe again. I have been going through an intense period of looking at every possibility and gradually doing away with what no longer serves me. Four of my five rooms are in turmoil as I need to put the furniture and accessories somewhere until I find the place that they are destined to go. Since I did not have the space I had before, I realized that my tall wooden candle holders with the long white candles that are used in church were no longer being used, I don’t burn them anymore but they gave an ambiance to my prayer area. I started to look at each thing I had in that special area and decide whether to keep it or offer it to others. I also have a large marble coffee table that I no longer have space for so that needs a home. That piece I had purchased as a rebellious act when the bank took my 13 room Victorian home, it really has been too big for this home. I am sure it holds some of the energy I was not willing to let go of. My TV has the back that juts out and it is not HD so I just may replace that. My bookcase has got to go and I have many books that I am giving away. The one thing I will not let go of is the serenity I feel when I look out my windows at Mother Nature. This new set is taller and more bulky so I had to maneuver it so I could see out my windows and door while I was supposedly watching TV. I will not let anything block my view and feeling of that peace and tranquility.

My take on this challenge in my life is that I was not releasing enough of what I was holding on to, so the universe stepped in and gave me a push to downsize. I had not been aware that I was resisting this process but the universe will step in to assist you if you don’t do it willingly. Please don’t wait for the two by four to hit you, pay heed to the gentle nudges now. I don’t know how all of this will be finalized but I am certainly getting a lot of exercise, both physically and emotionally. Here is a head’s up on what is happening and what is yet to come.

We are all experiencing the same energies even if they are showing up differently. Here is another confirmation of that process and it is like coming out of the cocoon. All we need do is dry our wings (tears) and we will be able to fly.

This is so joyful and freeing. Perhaps we cannot do what they do but we can experience the feelings that they so joyfully and expertly exhibit.
