FISHFUL THINKING More on the theme of Love
Found a TV program named 'Fishful Thinking' this morning. Made me wonder what other words that don't belong together, could be combined that would resonate with my core being like this one did. I immediately latched onto it as a title for this theme journey I am taking.
Sharing my journey of learning today...
Even before I found these pictures describing my day, I listened. I asked and the answer was clear, stay home. And the learning continued...
I followed an email to FaceBook and saw this picture... Go to the light was my first thought. Be brave was the second. So I stepped through the keyhole to Love.
I am noticing the many levels on my scale of uncomfort / comfort.
A couple years ago, I reconnected with a sister of an ex via emails and FaceBook but have yet to get together with her though she only lives 20 minutes away. Why!
I looked for answers by searching for her brothers FaceBook pages. Nothing for my ex - noticed a sense of relief.... Surfed around her other 2 brothers FaceBook pages noticing that I was feeling Love but resisting making a connection. It was here that I saw some of these pictures posted.
Just realized that I didn't even think of her sister....
Fear made me afraid. Aware that I spent my life in other people's box wanting to be liked. Now I choose to like myself.
Thought >>> Check out Daily Word for today... The message I got was a big ah ha - my negative thoughts about all the clutter is cutting off my prosperity. Why would more want to come into my world of negative energy. I now claim my clutter as Abundant Blessings that I love and appreciate.
This one had me reflecting on my own family and our lack of connection... Why!
A journey for another day.
This one empowered me with hope. It's never too late for Love....
It is in the looking back that moves me forward....
This speaks volumes.... For in Loving myself more, I would Love everyone and everything too!
We are in GODS loving hands.
And this is how I received my spiritual nourishment today.
I am Loved

THEME IS LOVE CONTINUED
AWESOME EVENTS
My Theme Is Love continued.
I forgot the most awesome unfolding event...
Yesterday morning, I answered a friends email telling them to set an intention to enjoy todays family gathering which they were not wanting to attend. Then read about setting intention in Nathen's email last night. Then this morning I had the thought to read the daily word - TODAYS WORD IS --- Intention....
Now, how does that happen....
Remembering more... Or on Mary and Austins last Sunday - I walked down the aisle to the back, which I have never done before, greeting people and met a man named Nathan, which is our grandsons name - I was connected to love.
Or the time last year when I told Ralph I was drawn to sit at the back on the right, which I did. He took his usual seat with Judith. Then, a lady came over and asked if I remember her and told me her name. I did. She was a friend of Ralph. I went and got Ralph and we had a wonderful visit with her. And connected her to others she knew years ago.
Again, how does that happen... Could it be that in the love space, place, we notice our intuition and choose to act on it!
Heart space is full reminiscing... Thanks for listening.
Recently found new meanings online for LOL = lots of love and LOLA = lots of love always. Made one for Ralph >> LOLO = lots of love ongoing.
Our grandsons call us Lola and Lolo (Filipino for grandma and grandpa)
Another connection to love that I use.
LOL

GOD AT WORK
GOD AT WORK
Sitting here contemplating...
I still marvel at how life can work if we are open to seeing the moments...
Last night I read Nathen's (musician at Unity) newsletter email. He talked about how he sets an intention for the year. He asks us what is our intention! I will forward the email to you...
Last night I replied to your email before I read Nathen's newsletter... I told you to set an intention....
I rarely remember to read the daily word, but for SOME reason I think to myself - go read the daily word.... And this is what I found, the word for the day was INTENTION.

MY THEME IS LOVE
MY THEME IS LOVE
Contemplating and writing a story in my mind about what my theme would be for 2017, thanks to Nathen's newsletter email.
Front runners were acceptance, connection, trust
Examining the various steps of my evolution - forgiveness, patience, kindness, exploring, searching, learning, flow...
I revisited serendipity moments I've had, wondering what is the common denominator!
Moments like reading that Nathen is playing at Pacifica - Ralphs daughter and her husband were part of building that residence. Nathen's podcast is Tuesday's at 1, Judith's radio show is Tuesday's at 1. Decisions, decisions, oh what to do - Judith phones to tell us she is not doing her radio show today (still recuperating) / decision made by the universe.
Is it Love that has us in the flow, in the right place at the right time making magical connections!
What comes 1st, forgiveness then love or love then forgiveness, kindness then love or love then kindness, acceptance then love or love then acceptance....
Seems to me, the 'key' is love. From that place of Love, I will be forgiving, kind, accepting, patient, learning, in the flow, trusting, connected, and so on....
Connecting to Love conquers fear.
I notice my resistance to Love. The mixed feelings to the "I love you's" as I choose to look at that in myself, not rejecting the situation but healing myself.
Thinking of our grandsons or Ralph will connect me to Love. The memories of Austin and Mary's last Sunday service and the love flowing as all of the musicians serenaded them with Love songs and then Nathen adding sign language to the mix. Tearing up here as I connect with the Love that was created that day.
Now, if I can only remember....
Love in peace.

THE STORY OF YOU
THE STORY OF YOU
This is the email that sparked this story....
I have a list of people
All written in a book -
And every year at Christmas time
I go and take a look.
And that is when I realise
That those names are all a part -
Not of the book they're written in
But of my very heart.
For each name stands for someone
Who has crossed my path some time -
And in that meeting they've become
A treasured friend of mine.
And once you've met some people
The years can not erase -
The memory of a pleasant word
Or of a friendly face.
So when I send an email
That is addressed to you -
It's because you're on that 'Special list'
Of folk that I'm indebted to.
And you are one of several folk
In times past that I've met -
And happen to be one of those
I don't want ever to forget.
And whether I have known you
For many years or few -
In some way you have had a part
In shaping things I do.
So this, the Spirit of Christmas
That forever still endures -
May it leave its richest blessing
In the hearts of you and yours!
from our home to yours.
For me, the list of people is in my head and any day of the year a memory may be sparked by some trigger like a song, a TV show, a picture, passing by a familiar place, seeing someone somewhere, a phone call, a license plate number, a name, and the list goes on...
And I take a look at myself.
I take a reading of myself as I notice my reaction to the triggered memory of ole. Is there more forgiveness work to do or is my heart sparkling with love for the person or situation. Am I needing to release and let go! Let God!
And even those that I struggled with, crossed my path as a needed gift to fertilize my growth. And in that meeting of our minds earned a place as a treasured friend of mine. I give thanks to all of you for stretching my horizons.
For some I meet, it may take a moment to remember your name or how our paths have crossed. For some I may have to gently ask you your name and take a moment to connect the dots of how we know each other. Faces I know I've met before sometimes need to be connected to the name and the history of who we were. Or maybe the why we know each other is clear but not the name, or the name rings a bell but not the why. Details somewhere buried deep in the memory cells of my being, but the years can not erase the feeling of knowing which is always there on the surface.
And even those I do not send an email to, are on that 'Special list' Of folk that I'm indebted to. Maybe someday when I am brave I will stop resisting and include you on my email list.
At first I may have tried to forget, wanting to run away from pain and shame. Eventually I came around and discovered more of me. At times I try to hang on tight to sweet moments in my life. As I struggle to stay stuck, life drags me forward offering to show me more, teaching me lessons that open me to let go, embracing change.
And even strangers who I don't know - for example those that drive by me and I have reacted to, having a mental conversation in my mind about something you did. In some way you have had a part in shaping things I do.
To all of you, may the Christmas Spirit leave its richest blessing
In the hearts of you and yours!
