One day she met a man and everything about him lit her up. She felt amazing around him and declared herself to be in love. She even told him-"I love you."

But, is it love? The mistake that can be made and it is one that  I have made it myself, is that we think that because we are lit up that it has to be love. We can instantly jump to all sorts of conclusions. 

I love you!  Which could translate into I will be with you forever. You will always be there for me. You will never harm me. You will love me back. 

All of that may be true but more than likely it won't be. 

All of us can be vunerable to the trap of love when someone lights us up. But, dear ones, what if what they have done for you is to help you to remember who you really are. What if they are simply a signpost along the way that shows you where you have forgotten who you are. 


Suddenly, you find yourself playful again. Where has that been hiding?


You allow yourself to be vunerable again. What made me hide that?


You are laughing again! You may even cry. 

But, dear ones it is simply that someone has come along to remind you of you. Now you can go into the story of love and forever after or you could try this; I like you a lot right now. You light me up. I like who I am around you. 

How about we see how it goes?

How about in this process of getting to know each other that we are gentle with ourselves? What if we make a choice to take it day by day? What if we call each other and ourselves out on any conclusions that we might jump to? What if we could just have some fun and see where it leads?

Relationships are not always forever. Whether they are of the romantic nature or of the friendship nature. when you could see where you step into your stories of what that has to look like and open yourself up to the joy that is inherent in meeting someone who helps you to remember the very essence of who you be and in the doing you help them to remember the essence of who they be-without judgment-then dear ones-the premise of I like you a lot and let us see where it goes, will serve you well.

Love isn't always forever but connections of the heart will last forever. 

Time and space is of no consequence. 

Someone may be physically out of your experience but the connection will live on in your hearts. 

Be gentle with yourselves as you play at this love game and be gentle with others. You will not stray afar from joy if you do.

And you know how we feel about joy.

 Happy New Year!

I don't know about you but 2014 sure had some ups and downs! As I reflect, it was mostly up and when it wasn't I shifted it pretty quickly. It turns out that a lot of the downs were just me picking up on everyone else's state of being. 

I am sure that was probably the case with most of you too. Since you continue to read these messages, you are most likely sensitive to the collective energies that are bombarding our planet. Often, it is as close as a family member, your neighbor or a co-worker. Sometimes it is all the unrest that is bubbling up to be healed on our planet.

One question that has helped me immensely is to ask-who does this belong to? If there is a lightening in my being, it isn't mine. Whew! Return to sender with love and light.

If it sticks I ask some more questions and POD, POC the energies. (short form for an Access Consciousness Clearing Statement) You can use it too! 

Meanwhile, the planet is undergoing changes that don't always appear so nice. But in not appearing so nice it gives everyone the opportunity to choose something else that is nicer, kinder and more loving. 

Some will transition with more ease and some will be dragged kicking and screaming but regardless the transitions are unfolding. By stepping out of judgement, I make it far easier on myself and that includes judgment against myself.

I heard something recently that resonated with me. How often are do we give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done? How often do we acknowledge that we are kind to others? How often do we notice all the things that we do right?

Mmmmm...sometimes not so much. So what if in 2015 you began to give yourself some loving. What if you could acknowledge how well you are doing? Your very presence is key to the shifts unfolding with more ease. I know that you are not out there mudering anyone and probably not abusing anyone (other than yourself with all your judgments about how you could do better or be better) and you are most likely not kicking your dog as you pass by and you are most likely holding doors open for another, offering kind words and a smile, more often than not. 

Give yourselves a break, dear ones, and know that you are doing far better than you think that you are. You-your very being extends a light that calls other into it. You wouldn't be reading this if it weren't so. 

And on those days when you despair of being enough, just remember that you are enough, more than enough for your planet. Each moment you can choose to believe that and in those moments when you do, you need say nothing to anyone nor do anything-your being is enough! But, if you want to step up to do something when you feel inspired, well do that too! 

2015 is a year of more ease and joy for those that are willing to allow themselves to believe in their inherent goodness. Stuff will happen that will delight you. You will find yourself more joyous. 

So, dear ones, will you believe in you?

We do and we always have and we always will.
