UPLIFTMENT

Beloved,

There is so much turmoil around us especially this week.  Events and decisions are changing faster than ever, in fact, more than once a day according to the news media.  When I got this opportunity from the Good News Network, I just knew I had to share it.  Sometimes it helps to take a break from today and revisit the pleasant moments of the past.

Another freedom lover is Dee Wallace and she shared this song AND the words just in case you don’t hear them correctly as it is being sung. I will give you the words first and then you might be able to hear more clearly what is being said as you listen to the song.

Words and inspiration from a special person, Esther Hicks, with wisdom from beyond.

You cannot control circumstances. You never intended to control circumstances. You intended to discover unconditional love. You intended to discover a way to feel good, no matter what, because you have the facility: you have the power: you have the ability to focus. —Abraham Excerpted from: San Antonio, TX on January 29, 2005

This article put a lot into perspective for me.  She put it in words that I understand deep in my heart and raised my spirits.

As I reread what I wrote in this newsletter, it became clearer to me that although I am peaceful within, there is a lot of static that whirls around me.  It appears to demand my attention and it does for a bit then I catch myself and look deeper within at the peace that is waiting for me to pay attention to it.  Here is another inspirational video from Lee Harris.

This story really touched my heart.  What an inspiration she and her family are. As Abraham said in the above article.  FOCUS!   If they can do it then we all can do it.  ONE DAY AT A TIME!  Enjoy.

Love and Light,

CHALLENGES AND THE NEW ENERGY

Beloved,

First thing, I wish to thank all of you who took the time to respond to my dilemma with Mail Chimp which sends my newsletters out to you. Since there are over 500 of Beloveds on my list, I need to have a partner in making sure that all of you receive it. Mail Chimp is a good provider of services but some snafu occurred and there was a possibility of some names being accidentally deleted.

Looking at it from a different perspective, it has created a situation where I received a lot of loving support. I create the newsletters so I can share the wonderful news and perhaps some humor and also insight to what is happening in the world with you. I felt such love and appreciation from so many of you that it revitalizes my mission to serve you and all who I can touch with my words. Sooo, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Have you felt the chaos that is occurring right now? Everyone is feeling it and it is occurring within many different story lines. One of my sons is experiencing it with scheduling within his job. A friend is experiencing it with an unresolved problem since October but it feels more chaotic to her now. This New Year is bringing all of us an opportunity to release all, and I mean all situations or conditions that upset us. This is necessary so that you can be truly free. You can’t take your baggage with you and you can’t fly freely with all these albatrosses around your neck. YOU are receiving many opportunities to breathe deeply and be calm while in the midst of the storm. You and I both know that nothing ever stays the same. One undeniable effect of being human is the constant change that occurs. That we can be sure of which means: hang in there, it will change.

Here in New England, we have a saying: “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute because it will change”. That is so true. Of course, you all know that the weather patterns have changed all over our globe. California is finally getting the rain water it needed albeit, too much at once, but it will change and things will settle down again. One benefit I am experiencing is that I still respond to the challenges so that they can be resolved but I am much calmer while I am doing it. It is like being in the center of a tornado or hurricane which is where it is the calmest. Let us practice being in the center of the storm without being tossed to and fro. You can do it and perhaps you are already doing it but have not become aware of how you are handling those niggly events. Things that would send me into frenzy do not affect me the same. Even technology!

“Whenever anything negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it, although you may not see it at the time.”

Eckhart Tolle

I had a period of time just lately that I was challenged by my TV, my cell phone, my land line phone and even the water filtration system. My TV suddenly had closed caption on it constantly. Closed caption are the words being written on the screen to help the hearing impaired. I could not stop it from happening even with help. I discovered that I could not ignore the words, I just had to read them so I could not pay attention to the scenes unfolding as I was reading it even though I could hear it. It must take practice but it would stimulate me so that I could not use the TV to put me in a restful state before bedtime.

Someone thought it was the remote so I bought another one and still it would not go away. The Menu would not allow me to reach whatever I needed to so that I could shut that feature off. I finally gave up and was returning the new remote when suddenly a thought occurred to me that perhaps if I bought a more expensive one, it would work. I was not aware that there is a CC or CCD button on remotes but I am now. It worked and it had been the remotes after all and not my lack of expertise or confidence in my ability to handle technology. My ego got a boost and I now have learned a lot more about dealing with technology. I teased my kids that I am turning into a genius because my brain has more outlets now that I have had to change my method of doing things for a whole week. I realize that it had not been a disaster but to me, in my world, it felt like it was.

Here is an excerpt from Abraham that addresses this issue with greater clarity and also humor. Enjoy!

This has a lot of knowledge but it is lengthy. Make sure you have time to absorb it.

FLOW WITH THE CHANGE

Beloved,

As I returned to my more natural routine of going to yoga on Tuesday morning, then my pitch league on Wednesday this week, I realized just how much I had missed the easy routine I had before we were inundated with all the snow and wind. I still have not gotten back to Church at the 5:30 Mass which I serve at but that is still to come (we have had snow storms for 5 weeks on Saturdays). We are creatures of habit because it doesn’t take any energy to do our habits, it just sort of falls into place. It is also much easier to make plans with others when you have your habitual activities down pat. You know just which day and what time you will be away from home and unavailable for a change in plans. Telling you this makes me aware of how rigid I have become. It is so much easier to just flow with the pattern than to have to keep readjusting.

Perhaps this is why the whole country has been in confusion with the turmoil of the weather. It certainly does wake us up to what we have been doing without even thinking about it. Even when it comes to meals, you have to be inventive because perhaps you have not been able to get to the grocery stores to get your favorite foods? We are a society that has the ease of running to the store if we need something rather than stocking up on the things we use most often. Even at the grocery stores, there are items that have not been able to be shipped because of the storms, the airlines not being able to fly and the strike that was at our seaports. This winter has taught me not to take anything for granted any longer. I just hope this AHA moment stays with me as I want to be aware and grateful for ALL that I DO have and that I allow myself to flow with the changes more easily and with less resistance. What we resist persists!

Much to my amazement, Spirit Library carried a few of the predictions that more change is to come and to encourage us to be allowing. Tell you what! Let’s help ourselves and the world by being more willing to accept the change.

This is the kind of change I want to see. It is so uplifting to actually see the world changing and becoming one species on one planet.

This is so soothing to listen to and the words are profound. Will you join with me and send this out to all of life on this planet.
