Fearless Fun Friday: Release…

Well, as you know, I have recently added the Every Day Miracles page.  This week, I’m in this flow where each morning I wake and open my heart to the Universe allowing for unfolding and Answers to be revealed as Truth, as they are meant, not as I wish them to be…So, here is my story from Wednesday that I want to share with you, because truly–truly–this is how the Universe works…

I write with a sparkle in my eye..a smile in my heart..please enjoy this lovely miracle…

I use the book “The Invitation” and a scene from the movie “The Guitar” almost daily as part of my morning/evening affirmations.  Just knowing I have these resources invites me to be open to insight, to be more bold than usual, to dream big and allow for those dreams to be realized.  Not many people in my world understand me, so it’s comforting to me to read the words from “The Invitation” and to see the scenes from “The Guitar” that validate my heart whispers. I would say that I treasure these two items.  However, in my life I practice nonattachment, so I may love and treasure, but if something suits you I release it to you gladly…I do believe once I release and bless the newly cleaned space that something else even better will be placed into that space, when I allow it to be, when I am grace filled, when I have my heart open…

So, a friend wanted to borrow one of my books I’ve recently read.  This friend is going through a stage of huge release and transitioning to something grand, bold, otherworldly…I knew in my heart this person would greatly enjoy “The Invitation” and “The Guitar”, so that I would send them along in the package with the other book.  Since my friend lives across the country, I also knew this wouldn’t be borrowing, this would be giving.  I don’t have the money to currently replace these items, so it would be release.  I had a moment of hesitation..my thought was “Am I truly giving my inspiration away?”  Fear based right..because these items are physical symbols of what I know to be true..when actually that Truth is held in my heart, woven throughout my daily life…I know this gift will enrich my friend’s life in some beauty filled way, so I carefully packed the items, blessed them with Love, prayed that I would cleanly release, found some butterflies and glitter to decorate the package, then mailed it off glad to send Inspiration to my friend..

I released my treasures…joy fully….

Then went about the day with my children.  Late afternoon we decided to go to the library.  This same friend had been reading “The Conversations with God” series and sharing wisdom from the book with me.  I had seen the movie, but hadn’t read the series..So, while in the library, I looked up the series and found book 2. 

That sounds so simple.  What the underlying message is though, that I found exactly what I need for this stage to inspire, encourage, motivate me.  In the morning I released my inspiration, in the afternoon huge inspiration found me…Have you had the experience that something was purposefully placed in your life??? As I was reading not even the introduction, but the acknowledgments before the introduction (do people even really read that section???) I had tears streaming down my face..joy filled tears..

So I canceled my evening plans, bought a hot chocolate with hazelnut and whipped cream, and settled in at the clubhouse to read.  Just as I was reading this :

 “Stay with the discomfort if and when you feel it.  Hold onto the boat if it begins to rock.  Then live within a new paradigm.  Better yet, through the wonder and the example of your own life lived, help to create one”…..

My beloved neighbor sat down next to me and we spoke about his new orders for his job and how he will be leaving in October..what his plans are…oh boy…You see, recently I’ve been feeling the need to run from boat life, just run far…and I think it’s because everyone I know has moved on to somewhere else, and now the last person who has been here almost from the beginning, will be moving on…My biggest fear in life is that I am not enough..and as far as the boat, there isn’t anyone in my close circle physically in my life who supports this boating life..so now..now it is up to me (okay and the Universe, but kind of just me when Fear sets in)..that is it..Here is my choice: Stand in Faith, or run in Fear…

And then, then I read the above in this book right after I’ve released my own treasures, right as I’m having this conversation…hold on to the boat while the boat is rocking..use all that you know to create better…Okay… with an open heart..I will…I will…I promsie I will joy fully walk this path because it is my path…whew…

And I say to the Universe: “Thank you, thank you for loving me right here where I am.  Thank you for allowing me to release my treasures and then supplying me with something far more fitting for this stage I am in..thank you for touching my heart right where I am at..thank you for meeting me as I step forward..thank you for Faith big and strong..thank you for this Energy golden and pure…thank you for friendship that enriches my life..thank you for all that I have…my garden is blooming and I shall not allow Fear filled weeds to take hold…thank you for clarity….

This morning was prep for what I am currently processing.  I shall release my Fear and stay on this boat that I love living life true to my essence, I shall release my neighbor whom I treasure to joy fully follow his new path,  I shall release gracefully and joy fully,  stand boldly, because I know, I know with my entire Being (just as I released my treasure in the am to be replaced with golden in the pm) that when I release Lovingly, bless my treasures as they are released, then clean and prepare the space, something bigger and better shall be purposefully placed in my Life..and  I will be ready because I have done the work…

(from the intro to “Conversations with God” book 2): 

“There is always a next level, you know. Your soul–which came here for the richest experience, not the poorest; the most, not the least–would like you not to rest.  And while the choice is always yours, your soul would have it that you never become complacent or self satisfied, and certainly never sink into apathy.  For there’s too much to change in your world, too much left of yourself for you to create.   Always there’s a new mountain to climb, a new frontier to explore, a new fear to conquer.  Always there’s a grander place, a larger concept, a greater vision.”

So, fearless…yep…fun..in spades…any day, not just Friday..I’m glad you’ve joined me for this journey..it’s awe-some in magnificent ways!  I won’t ask you what Fear is present in your life, holding you back…I will ask you: What do you need to release so you may have the space for wonder filled to be placed in your life?  Let’s release together…so we may soar together….

Much peace,

Joy
