Last weekend Sheree and I went on a mission to discover the future. It started on Saturday with the Reiki Exchange that wasn't and continued to Sunday with the wandering the streets of Old Bowie saying, "hmmmm"....
When we started the Spirit Group (with our soul sister Lori) we were trying to find a space to hold spiritually enlightening gatherings with different focuses and themes. We tried one space and that didn't work, went to another and that didn't work. We decided that focusing on the space wasn't working so we would focus on the event instead. We quickly got tired of lugging all our stuff from one space to another. We got busy with work, plays, life and frankly, sort of got disillusioned with the whole thing. Some events were successful, some were beautiful to the few that were there...all were wonderful if not well attended. The good news is that even though we were having all kinds of growing pains and discovering each other's work styles, we all ended up still loving each other.
With Fall coming, I have been feeling like it's time to start planning if and when Spirit Group continues. Sheree & I were trying to discover where and when. It sort of feels overwhelming and exhausting. We know what we want, we know how to create it, we know we have what it takes to make it successful but we don't have the resources to make it happen. Like, money. And energy to do all we are already doing and then add more.
I was feeling a bit frantic about this earlier in the week. Then I realized that I'm just making myself crazy and need to let it go. (which is amazing and makes me so grateful for how far I've come) So I went to my altar, quieted my mind, repeated my prayer of thanks and put it in my Guide's hands. So, my Guide has given me the following insights this week:
The Sanctuary is within.
Casting one seed is just as important as ten.
Not burning yourself out will make you much more likely to succeed.
Having a home life is very important to your home.
It is from the quiet moments you create for yourself that dreams are formed and ideas are hatched.
It will come. Whatever is supposed to will.

When your dreams or "end results" are stated generally, in broad brush strokes, like wealth and abundance, friends and laughter, health and harmony, then please, by all means, Linda, attach yourself to them. Attach, attach, attach. There is no limit to what you can have and no reason to expect anything less.
But when your end results are specific, like the ultimate car, a hot date, or a home in the country, a spiritual center, do not attach, do not attach, do not attach.

You have the power to hurt yourself or to benefit yourself. If you do not choose to be happy no one can make you happy. Do not blame God for that! And if you choose to be happy, no one can make you unhappy. It is we who make of life what it is.Paramahansa Yogananda, 1893-1952 Indian Yogi and Spiritual Teacher

Light Is a Living Spirit
Concentrate your thought on light, rest in light, melt into light, soak yourself in light and picture the entire universe bathed in that light. Little by little, as you do this, you will find that all the elements of your being begin to fall into place, that this light is bringing you true knowledge, lasting peace, inner balance and power. Light is a living spirit.
Light is a Living SpiritOmraam Mikhael Aïvanhov (1900-1986)French philosopher and teacher of Bulgarian origin

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

"Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas."Henry Ford ~ Businessman ~ July 30, 1863

And finally, and by the way, isn't it cool that God knows how to email?

Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer for five short minutes.
