Rolling in to Two Thousand Ten with whispers from God...

Happy new year to all of us. I can't believe it is already January 6th but every year the days seem to move more quickly from one to the next and before I know it, it will be SPRING. For now, I am trying to allow myself to find a way to enjoy this winter, knowing winter is a gift, too. It's not my favorite gift but one for which I am grateful, none the less.

I finally did my "whole person" reading on the 4th. I usually try to do it on the first day of the year to get an idea of where I'm being guided and supported in the upcoming year but I procrastinated this year and I guess that's okay. It was certainly pertinent from a personal point of view since I've been delaying "living" and have been "existing" instead of being proactive. It was a very different reading from years past and I know this is going to be a challenging year, in many ways for me. It was an in-my-face reminder that I AM the boss of me and I need to accept responsibility for everything that is in my life and if I don't like what's there, it's up to me to make the necessary changes to make it what I want it to be. That's the hardest part of life, isn't it? Accepting responsibility and making changes? It's hard for me and it seems it is difficult for others, too. Yet, I know it can be done. I have faith that it can be done. Not only for me, but for any/everyone.

My spirit/mind/body reading today was interesting and as always, so RIGHT ON and exactly what I needed to be aware of in my life.

First off, spiritually, came a message about indolence. Indolence is stagnation, laziness, unclearness. It was a reminder to me that I need to release my pattern of over-extension which leaves me drained and "indolent." I need to set limits and welcome more discipline into my life. I was reminded that the storms of life throw me out of balance, again and again. Yet is is the constant change between being centered and uncentered which teaches me to be more conscious from moment to moment.

I had a migraine headache yesterday and spent most of the day in bed. I seem to get migraines when I am in "overload." So, I recognize this about myself and acknowledge my need to set limits so that I don't reach the "indolent" stage but I also know it will happen again yet not as often and I will be "conscious" not to let myself get to the point of being completely drained. I have to look after my own self, accept responsibility for my own self and for my own well-being. I need to be aware of my own NEED for discipline and structure and I do that by being conscious and in the moment. It was a good reminder and one I needed to hear.

Next, I got a message about mastery of self-knowledge and awakening to the deepest essence of who I am. I am a radiant being filled with love and light and I want to share this love and light with compassion and rememberance of my own "dark places." So, by being "conscious", I can also be more self-aware which brings me to the physical message.

I received the "love" card and the message is about equal and special love. Love that is creative, inspirational and bears great creative power. My affirmation is: I desire and am open to fully experience love.

We experience love by the act of loving AND by staying open to receiving love. Love wears so many disguises that it is sometimes difficult to recognize but with love comes light or "illumination" and with "illumination" comes love for they are both the same.

Well, I'm getting a little esoteric here but what I really wanted to "put out there" this morning was that it is love that helps us through the storms of life and the love has to come from WITHIN.

I just spoke with a dear friend who is going through the process of dealing with the loss of a child, an only child. I can only imagine the pain she is experiencing and I am filled with compassion for her. What can I say that will make any difference in her life? What can I do to help my friend who is in so much pain? Not only her, but I have other friends and family in the throes of their own storms and I want to reach out and help them all, in some way. Yet, what can I really do that will make any difference? What can I say that will help?

I can only love them and listen. The changes that need to occur for each of them, can only come from within and I try to remind those I love about SELF love as I have to remind my own SELF so often. We all need to love our own SELF first and when we do that, and only then, can we truly help another help another.

So, to that end and in line with my "whispers" today (I call my readings "whispers from God") I will stay conscious today of being centered and balanced. I will remember that I am a radiant being filled with love and light. I will set limits and boundaries. I desire and am open to fully experience love in all it's many facets. By loving my SELF, I can love others more completely.

Well, rolling in to Two Thousand Ten I am reminded to "Love thy neighbor as thy own self." Perhaps in today's world, we've gotten it reversed and we need a reminder to love our own SELF, too, for we are the light of the world.

Namaste, Happy New Year and remember to love your SELF today and stay conscious from moment to moment. Holding the resonance and sending love and light to all.
