Story SPARKED

It started with an apartment building fire where a dear friend lives.  The kind of friend I see regularly at Unity of Vancouver where he plays the NS stick and sings at the Sunday service.  You may know him as he also performs at CSL and other Unity Spiritual Centres, seniors residents, as well as the regular gigs.  We got connected on FaceBook and we receive his monthly newsletters by email.  This gem of a singer song writer has influenced my life.  You may have friends like this - I call mine, my church friends, my HAM radio friends, my Texas Holdem poker friends, energy worker friends and all the other compartments of my life.  All people I care about.

I knew he lives in White Rock, B.C. from his online radio show at Self Discovery Radio under the banner, "For The Love of Music" and the various YouTube videos I have watched. Never been there, so when we saw the news about an apartment fire in White Rock, we did not make the connection.

As I sat processing his reaching out Facebook message, saying it will be weeks or maybe months before residents will be allowed back into their suites, my stuff surfaced.  A pinch of fright wondering what we would do under similar circumstances.  Wanting to 'fix' it, transforming into creating with intention various spectacular scenarios of outcomes.  Loving this sweet soul who continues to teach me.

Then the light was sparked in me as I sat in prayer and meditation sending messages - may you and everyone else be safe, may you all be well, may you all vibrate to the essence of who you are, may you all live with ease.

This is where my light bulb moment story begins.

I realized that I have lived my life through others.  All my life I have been the spectator in the stands or on the couch watching others reach their goals of winning the game or gold medal or Oscar or..., you fill in the blank.

Years ago, in a light bulb moment on this journey of my personal growth, I  came up with the idea to find ways to "sabotage my sabotaging".  I got very creative and had many successes.  Usually I did things telling myself that it was to help someone else.  Like using the services of the Music Therapy and Art Therapy students at the B.C. cancer clinic while I was going through treatment.  I told myself I didn't need it, but sabotaged the sabotaging by telling that part of "me", to be a practice canvas for them, a teaching tool.

My question surfaced, "how come I am staying in this limited prosperity consciousness?"  If I was accepting abundance to the fullest, I would be living in a place I could welcome him to stay while he goes through this journey.  There would be a live-in cook preparing delicious healthy meals and of course a cleaning service.

Can you imagine us living with our own private talented musician serenading us daily, leading us in meditations and chants, us witnessing his creative spark as he writes new songs!  I can.

The answer to my question surfaced.  "The way to sabotage that "me" that keeps me limited is to do it for the others who I could help."

Thank you universe for the souls you bring into my life to teach me.  From the Fire comes Light.

Amen

DO YOU EVEN KNOW

DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE PEOPLE YOUR IN CONVERSATION WITH IN YOUR HEAD.
Is it the driver who cut you off or the person that irritated you in the grocery store line up?

We recently drove by a new building being built and I found myself back at the office building I worked at that had been there.  My mind was going through the list of mistakes I made, the embarrassing moments of imperfection some 25 years ago.  Not the successes of the day, not the beautiful people I worked with, not until this moment of writing this just now when I noticed my heart open and I was filled with love.
