THE GAME 'WHAT IF' - My significant life changes
Feb 19, 2017
The year is 1991 and having bravely left a 13 year relationship, circumstances led me to an eight week self esteem / self awareness program called Gemini.
First, some memorable life changing moments that resonated with the core of my being. One workshop facilitator, years before, took us on a 'what if' journey as she described life. She had us imagine ourselves sitting at a boardroom table writing a play with other actors that had agreed to play the various parts that we would create. She told us that we would decide what life lessons we wanted to learn this time around. We all contracted to play our parts. There were family soul members that we had worked with many times before as well as other souls that were joining us for the first time. Play finished, we picked the parents and geographical area that best supported the lessons.
Once we were born into the new lifetime we would forget the play. Having free choice, we could follow the script, change the script or throw the script away.
Fast forward to the Gemini workshop which was about polishing the GEM IN I. One exercise was to write a list of qualities that we do not like in others. Then the facilitators explained that we only see qualities in others that we have ourselves. Other people were a mirror, reflecting back at us, the parts of the GEM IN I that needed polishing.
Next, we wrote a list of qualities that we admire in others. We were then told that we would not see those admired qualities if we did not have them ourselves. All we needed to do was polish the GEM IN I.
There have been many opportunities over the years to be reminded to remember to polish my GEM.
The learning continues. I am eternally grateful to my fellow actors for their supporting roles in my life's play.

THE GAME 'WHAT IF' - More Touching Moments
Feb 19, 2017
The guest speaker at the Hospice Training course was describing a scenario that went something like this.
You are happy, safe, nurtured, comfortable in your life. As you grow you become cramped, unable to move, uncomfortable. You notice a tunnel, a way out. You move toward the light and emerge into a bigger world, free to move. You are comfortably supported and safe.
This description of birth is familiar to us.
Then he tells us that he is describing death. What if death was us birthing into a bigger world when we had outgrown this physical existence!
Being pushed into this physical world gave us room to grow and learn.
This perspective lessened my fear of death.

FISHFUL THINKING - Workshop Surprises
From Feb 5, 2017
Surprises continue to show up in my life. Those coincidences, serendipity, synchronicity moments some call God Winks, some call Designer Moments. We've all had them whether we've noticed or not.
I notice that I am guided to an online learning tool that prepares me for the up coming Unity workshop, titled Five Questions ~ Exploring Spiritual Identity, being given by Rev Bruce Kellogg as part of his interview process for the ministers position.
I am different - aligned, in a peaceful awakened state, place, space.
Workshop Saturday arrives and my process continues bringing even more surprises, distilling down and clarifying my existence. Here are my distilled, simplified answers.
Question:
1. Who am I? A connector.
2. What do I want? Acceptance.
3. What am I willing to do to get it? Listen to my inner guidance.
4. Can I be me with you?
5. What is it going to take to get me done?
Detailing the process.
1. Who am I? We begin with a familiar exercise I have done before spelling out our name vertically then writing a word or phrase for each letter.
L - empowering love, traveling with / thru love, embracing love, spreading love, loving love, evolving love, being love...
Y - yearning to be true / real / authentic, wanting to know whY, following the Youth presents, presence of Yule time joyfulness...
N - changing the negative, [an aside here - I notice that there are 2 N's and ask myself, will they be the same] [then as I write] >making connections, connecting...
{ ah ha! A connecting moment. Everything becomes clear to me. The journey to figure out what my purpose is, is one of connecting / rejecting, resenting being the connector / being led back into the role / rejecting the role and so on and so on repeating the cycle again and again, over and over. 2 N's in Lynn, 2 N's in connections > 💡 >>> maybe making connections is my purpose!!! }
N - embracing the negative, loving the negative, enjoying the negative, connecting with the negative, healing the negative...
{ the bigger picture is revealed... the bigger meaning of connecting expands and blossoms >>> Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually... For / with myself and others... For / with nature, Mother Earth, the universe and beyond... }
I connect to connecting.... I commit to my work as connector....
My purpose is connectioning....
2. What do I want? My answers are about what I don't want - >> misunderstood, embarrassed, not perfect, wrong.... Then 💡💡💡, it's clear.... >>> I want acceptance.... Acceptance is the key. 🔑🔑🔑 Acceptance erases everything that I do not want.... Acceptance expands into >> me accepting myself, me accepting others, me accepting world affairs - me trusting Gods plan....
3. What am I willing to do to get it? Hold space... Stop judging... All the pockets of life - Facebook, family, government, media,.... Stop rejecting, ignoring, rebelling.... Stop reacting, begin responding from heart space divine healing love. Smile.
4 & 5 are still a work in progress....
Even now as I write this, I notice elements of old stuff surfacing.... Hmmmm, the answer to #4 maybe.... And #5 might be - just do it.... Accept and trust myself. Let go and let God.
Thank you for contributing. You are a blessing in my life.
I've noticed that these life changing moments come from the simplest sources. Noticing the 2 N's connection is this case. I've noticed that sometimes I am trying really hard to figure things out, then something happens to remind me to use the Keep It Simple Solutions principle. To remember to stop 'trying'.
