The True You May
5, 2008
Spring is trying to tip toe in gently. There have been many unusual weather patterns lately that have led us to believe that warmer weather was
finally here and then suddenly it would turn cold once again. I am thankful that
at some of those times, the heavens still allowed the sun to brightly shine with the gift of hope. The outcome is that it does not really look like spring to us in the usual ways. However, when we look closer, we will see that the flowers and trees have continued to bloom, taking hold
in a very deep solid way.
This is also happening to us if we have joined the masses for
the rebirthing of mankind. We are using gentle steps to walk into our newer realities. These realities hold a strong, solid vision of who we have been, who we are and who
we are choosing to become. Everything still has the same structure of roots,
leaves, flowers, bark, trunks and stems. We seem somewhat familiar to ourselves,
but we also know something is truly different.
What this is all doing to our active, everyday lives is very interesting
as well. We are the same tree and flower, but we are actually more aware of our
abilities and our color and how we grow. We are also more aware of our environment
around us and how everyone else is choosing to grow.
This is the time when quietness and thoughtfulness are allowing
more appreciation of whom we are and the choices we have made. May I suggest
that you practice doing this with kindness and gentle compassion toward yourself and all you have allowed yourself to become.
You have just gone through an amazing awakening and this is now the time to reassess it all without judgment. The time will come for more action, but now just simply allow your new vision to drink it all in.
Be mindful when all the plans you set in motion suddenly take
their own direction. I have begun to laugh while I open my arms up to the heavens,
when the most unexpected things happen. These life occurrences are nothing like
I planned them to be, or nothing I planned on at all! How often have you heard
people say the same thing? It seems, that it is the very best thing that could
have happened, better than we could have ever consciously planned for ourselves. Everything
happens for a higher purpose, especially when we are laughing at ourselves and opening our arms to receive it! What fun it is when you stop and you welcome in the guidance of your higher self.
So when the weather seems to be having trouble deciding what season
it is and how it is suppose to behave, take it as a gentle reminder that we are all doing the same. This is a glorious, beyond glorious, time to simply watch what is happening to you and around you. This is the time of pure awareness and sometimes it is so surprising that we need
to stop and tip toe through it gently to really become aware of its full meaning. You
may be shown your own truth or you may be understanding, for the first time, the depth of another person’s truth.
There is no judgment, there is just awareness. This is a new time,
a new you and a new world. For us to truly discover the meaning within it all,
we need to stop and rest within it quietly while the sun still shines upon us. In
the midst of spring’s full energy of growth, there comes the memory of the stillness of winter. Suddenly, it is cold and it feels like sleep is once again upon us.
The earth seems to stop growing and everything holds a sense of fear of the unknown.
We stop and take notice and worry that it is so unusual, what does it mean.
That is the gift. We
have become aware. We stop and we want to understand what it means. Just as we are convincing ourselves how different it is, it takes on the familiar air of spring.
Spring was never lost, it remains the same. It just stopped long enough for us to notice that things are continuing to change in nature and we can
adjust ourselves to it with ease. If we choose to do so.
We are the same as well.
Our higher self, our soul has always been the same. The only difference
is that we are choosing to awaken ourselves to the full understanding of who we truly are on all levels. This is a choice of aligning ourselves with our true self, re-aligning ourselves with our higher self for
our highest purpose. We need to do this slowly.
We need to do it with loving acceptance. We need to do it with courage. To accomplish all of this we have chosen to tip toe into spring and the rebirthing
of our true identities. It is not by accident that it is also the time that Motherhood
is celebrated.
Be patient with yourself.
Be mindful of what is happening within you and around you. Be compassionate
to yourself and others. Be still and embrace the glory of it all. When you do this, life will be understood more for what it is bringing in, along with its efforts of aligning
you with your highest purpose of being.
I will hold you all in the space of divine love and joy as I feel
you awaken to the most amazing time of rebirthing and creation of life, side by side with the Creator of it all. This a celebration and I join with you in celebrating the joys of Motherhood and the wonders of the discovery
of the child within. As we place our hand with trusting love into the hand of
our Creator, perfection is created!
Many blessings, love, light and joy,
