On Kindness...

" Let me be a little kinder,
let me be a little blinder
to the faults of those around me,
let me praise a little more." Edgar A. Guest

Amen.

The New Moon Releases An Avalanche of Deja Vu!

If you read my most recent blog post, you'll know the cybergods blessed me with an avalanche of 3, 889 emails from the past -- truly, a deja vu experience! Jeesh.

This avalanche of deja vu arrived on the heels of the New Moon -- a time that heralds change and invites the release of the old. An intense New Moon it has been.

I'd been calling for 'an avalanche' of abundance and finding the portals of flow quite deaf to my requests. I know enough to know that the universe is only deaf to us if we have been deaf to it. If we have been calling for the new while holding onto the old for dear life, get ready for some major cosmic traffic jams. Or a cyber 'rain of frogs'.

We are all powerful manifesters and we will manifest -- the question is not if but when. What we manifest has everything to do with our energy being in alignment. If we are all over the place, saying one thing and doing another, the universe will throw up its hands and puke up the truth.

If there was any common theme in the 3, 889 emails (that I could see) it was that they all required I take some sort of action - be it following through with a difficult communication, letting go of a cherished dream, or completing a relationship. Knowing something and doing it are two different things. Knowing something takes a willingness to be honest with ourselves - the first step to creating anything of any merit. Doing it takes resolve, commitment, and trust - trust that what lies on the other side of that action will bring something even better. Trust took me many months and 3, 889 emails to achieve. As always, it happened in perfect timing...and not a moment too soon.

3,889 emails later...my prayers for release were answered!

Yesterday morning, I opened my computer to find 3, 889 emails pouring into my inbox. 3, 889 -- all of them repeat emails from Sept 2007 to the present. As the last of the 3, 889 poured in, I stared in disbelief, feeling a dizzying wave of energy sweep over me as the names and subjects of the past emerged one after the other in front of me.

I had been praying to God for a few days now to show me why things felt 'stuck' in my life and what I needed to release...and holy moly...I got my answer! 3, 889 energetic reasons to choose from! I had put the word out but I didn't think my computer had heard me!

This morning I called my friend Tamira to tell her that I managed to erase 400 some emails and was down to 3, 446! She laughed. I told her I felt like Jim Carrey in 'Bruce Almighty', deleting the hundreds of thousands of prayer requests he had received in his role as 'God'. I could hear Carrey's voice in my head as he hammered the delete key: 'Boy, what a bunch of whiners!' After we'd stopped laughing, I realized what a miracle of release this all was and what an opportunity.

As I looked at the sea of emails, I noticed the feelings in my body as my eyes fell on each one. Some felt benign, some complete, others felt like I needed to take a second look. Was there unfinished business? Unspoken communication? Something in need of clearing? Something I was avoiding, ignoring or overlooking? You bet. And I was getting a second chance to look at it all and deal with it!

There was truth and Light hidden in this avalanche of emails. Truth that I had not entirely embraced before. In a few cases, I felt inspired to pick up the phone or send an email. With the others, I am still mulling, reflecting, meditating. Already, I can feel the energy in my life moving - actually whooshing along. I now have the clarity I didn't have a few days ago - and the joy and peace that was eluding me. Wow. Wow. Wow. Amazing how the universe shows up to support us, isn't it? When we ask for release....we actually receive! Yes!

"You Stay Stuck Where You React!"

When you react to circumstances or people for not being the way you would like them to be, you are making a request for struggle and frustration. Reaction creates resistance. Blockage, stuckness. As a writer I read once wrote, 'You stay stuck where you react'. Yup. Spin your tires in that mud for a while. See where it gets you. Resist and react and you are like fly paper for darkness.

The release of Truth, the blessings of revelation, the Intelligence of the Universe, the Light of Consciousness, of God, of the Divine, always lies inside, beneath or behind the very thing you are resisting or reacting to. When you let go, you get to see what IS. When you surrender your picture of the way you would like things to be, you get to see the majesty that awaits you. How delightful and surprising things can be. How simple and effortless. How beautiful. How abundant. How right, true, and wonderful.

Stay stuck in the temper tantrum of the ego mind that wants what it wants because it wants it that way and you limit the LIGHT of truth, of consciousness, of Love, of abundance that is there ready to pour into your life. You limit the ease that is available to you. You limit the solutions, the possibilities, the opportunities that are waiting to rush to you.

Gives new meaning to the expression 'hiding your Light under a bushel' doesn't it? Stop keeping the Light from you by being married to reaction and resistance. Let go and let what is, be. And then see what magic shows up.

THE LICENSE PLATE READ: ELEV8TE!

The license plate on the silver Porsche ahead of me on the PCH this morning gave me the perfect sign: ELEV8TE. I'd been asking for a sign and this is the sign I got: Elev8te. '8' is a number of manifestation and elevate, well, elevate means 'elevate your consciousness'. What else could it mean?

Moments later, a friend called and I unintentionally brushed off her desire to promote my work and expand my abundance. I was distracted and had to focus on the road I told her. Well, sure enough....right after I put down the phone, I came to a screeching halt behind a truck carrying a load of bricks. The sign on the truck said: 'Resource: Call: 1-800-BRICK'.

I cracked up. My friend's last name is BRICK.

I called her back and we had a good laugh about manifestation and elevating consciousness and all things that go with that. In putting down the phone, I realized one more thing: Resource! Of course, if you are seeking to manifest, go to the source, source the highest resource! Look to God, the Divine, Infinite Light and Love, Higher Self, Higher Power...call it what you will....go to the SOURCE! Ask for the highest unfoldment, for the highest good of all...and then watch the signs that come your way....and they will, oh, yes, they will.
