The Gift

Since I am new to sharing my thoughts here, I ponder deeply about what I want to say

each month. Ideas come and go; I write only when something resonates within me.

Over the last few days, something has shifted and flowed within me. I have felt myself

on the verge of tears. This surprised me, and I did not initially understand what was

happening.

Then, I became still and quiet this morning and surrendered to the flowing energy with

me. As I did, tears softly released, and the most profound sense of gratitude enveloped

me. It was so powerful and beautiful, and love was at the center. I could feel my soul

open to this love and grace. As this energy flowed within me, and tears flowed, I

became aware that I was so divinely loved. It was so powerful that I almost turned away,

wondering if I deserved it. It felt overwhelming to accept and embrace.

I realized then that I feared truly embracing it because I feared losing it. Then, I was

gently guided and reminded of an absolute truth. The quiet space within me, profoundly

knowing it can never be lost, for it permanently resides with me and you. And each day I

experience great love and peace, I can become more grounded and centered in truth.

The truth is that only when we open to the energy of love can we extend it back out into

the lives around us. And isn’t that the most genuine, most valuable gift we can ever

receive and give?

This is not to say that life is without struggle, challenges, and sometimes even chaos.

But these distractions keep us disconnected from the absolute truth. That love and

beauty abound in our lives. May you sit quietly, finding moments to be still and open,

allowing love’s energy to enter. We are blessed with lives around us that deserve our

love, intentional time, presence of mind, and joy. I hope today you allow all the love that

flows toward and in you to flow through and out. I am profoundly grateful to have life,

and may I always return to this space and this truth in my journey. So may it be for you.
