A Time For Honesty

Sometimes the most painful things in our lives come from the dishonesty or the unwillingness to take responsibility for the way that we feel. If we could only check in on our hearts and speak the truth in the beginning and say what is truly on our minds, we could by-pass so much of the pain.
There is no shame in feeling sad. There is always a perfect gift in that sadness. The sadness is there to remind us of our human frailties. The sadness is there to bring us a gift in acceptance of all of our ways of being. What have we been avoiding?
The secrets and those gifts lay within each one of us just waiting for acceptance and a pro-active step. We need to be good to ourselves, lighten up and allow room for all those feelings to flow. This is the honesty our beings need to be fulfilled. Being authentic to our inner spirit and to our souls help to release the joy within each one of us.
Life is supposed to be fun and if we’ re not having fun it is our own fault. There is no one to blame for my not having fun but me! I’ve got this!

Ask For A Sign

It is time to acknowledge the energy and power brought to us by Spirit. In times of quiet meditation I will often light a candle (a small candle in a glass container) I close my eyes and invite the spirit of my mother to let me know she is with me. Without opening my eyes I can tell that the flame of the candle is dancing wildly. And yes, I do open my eyes just to check and I am never disappointed.

Not only is that little flame, doing an amazing dance, it has also divided itself into a multiple of flames. Today I counted no less than seven. The joy and light emanating from that one little candle was overwhelming. I was captured in that dance of the flames and as the tears of joy and love flowed down my cheeks I thanked those Spirits for their visit. The feeling that remained, beyond the extinguishing of the candle, was perfect peace.

Harry had been meditating too. I turned to him and asked, “What are you feeling right now?” “Peace! Total peace.” Was his reply. There are no accidents. It wasn’t until later I shared with him the experience I had with the candle. It is a simple thing to do. Just ask for a sign. Close your eyes trust and let go. Yes! You will know when to peek!

Woops!

Boy! That was a close one! My intention to be guided by spirit sometimes gets a wee bit clouded. Oh! Yes! And how can that happen, Mahri? I hear you all say. Well, it’s that old “image” thing. You know the, “What would they think?” “I don’t have anything to wear!” “I am not a millionaire!” “I am not! I am not! …… There are those moments in life when I allow that old tape to play that says, “I am not good enough!” I misinterpret those actions of others and beat myself up.
Of course! As soon as I take a deep breath and hear myself I have to laugh at those things I create out of re-playing the old tape. This is what happens sometimes especially if you are a sensitive being like me.
Today, Universe is showing me the great results of turning this all around. Oh! Boy! Thank you God for watching my back on this and for giving me a wonderful sense of humor. The ego can get me all screwed up if I let it. I’ve just got to pay more attention. O.K. I’ve got this! Yes!
