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.
