Changing Residences

I am currently watching a client move from the old file factory of FEAR into the house of JOY.
I am thrilled for her and once again feel validated that it is not too late to change; that even at 63, we can all make different choices.

It takes blind courage sometimes. Certainly a leap of Faith, definitely the early signs of Trust.

And, it is a slow process that requires patience and compassion.
Just yesterday I was talking with a person from our current workshop series, and she is 32, and she asked me:
“Tell me honestly, do you really think I can have a different life? Will there be a time when I actually stop worrying, stop being afraid of men, stop obsessing over money and my shame about it?”

I did not hesitate one iota, I knew the correct answer was ‘Yes” because of my journey into letting go of FEAR and embracing JOY.
As I trust myself now in my current life, so can she, so can you.

How much of our adult life is stuck in replaying old issues in our mind, repeatedly like a hamster on a wheel. That file factory stores not only real events, but imaginary ones as well. That’s a lot of megabites.
But, spiritually, this is our work in this life now; to heal, to mend, to forgive and move ahead. When we start practicing letting go it is a road of two steps ahead, one back…wash, rinse and repeat…. if we can keep our commitments, we can get there…trust the universe.
What happens, happens for a reason.
