Some Relationships Are Eternal

 

Some Relationships are so special that you know that they are eternal.

You have to let go of them because for now at this time they “feel” dead.

…but you know that the time you spent together is not dead,

will NEVER die,

it had an everlasting quality to it,

because it was spent in eternity.

Some Relationships are just that special,

and you know it when you’re in them.

So, it’s hard to let go of them.

Be alright with letting them go

and moving on to another relationship that you are meant to have.

It’s okay to let go for now…you will meet again…in eternity.

Some Relationships are just timeless.

How Letting Go to Let Come Plays Out

 

This is what it feels like when you are in alignment with your life’s energy, intuition and purpose.

When you start to trust life and when letting go to let come starts to “work out” time and time again.

Just realize that you have to believe it’s okay and that this is happening to you and that you have found the master-key.

That you are in alignment.  

That you are in balance.

Don’t Wonder

• Don’t wonder if the things that are coming your way are for you.  They are.  You’re just aligned with your original purpose and things are syncing up as they should.

• Don’t wonder why that person is showing interest in you.  Don’t wonder if they are really interested in you.  Don’t question why they are interested or if you can trust it or trust them.  Things have changed because you can trust yourself.  Because of this new level of trust in yourself and in life itself you understand that if they are legitimately supposed to be in your life, then they will be, if not, they will fall away.

• Don’t wonder why money is coming  your way, to you, in your name, and being placed in your hands.  This is your time.  Life goes in cycles.  There are just some cycle of life that click, that start to make sense for you.  Don’t be surprised that it’s not a “big deal” that money (which is just energy) is flowing your way and you’re not “all excited”.  You’re even balanced in this area of your life and in your thoughts.

Something’s Happening Behind The Scenes

There is something really happening in the earth, oceans, with nature and some people are tuning in and some people are not.  Some people have been preparing (maybe without knowing it) and some people have not.

Some people are blooming late just like some flowers bloom after the season that they should have bloomed.  But they eventually bloom.  You may be just blooming late.  Maybe you don’t know (or remember)  how it feels to be fully open to the energy of the universe that is allowing you to fully bloom.  It’s okay to just allow that energy to open you up to bloom.

Allow that energy to take you where you need to go. Allow it to help you to say what you need to say.  Allow it to open your throat chakra and just speak your truth.  The truth that only you can speak.  The truth that all of your experiences, people you’ve met along the way, places you have gone, and places that you have worked are just flowing through you.

Just Allow Things To Happen Through You

It’s unexplainable to you right now, but its only because you are now allowing the spirit to move though you.  You don’t feel as though it is you became it is beyond you and just coming through you.  At some point you realize that all the blocks or brakes are off. The emergency brake is not up any more.  You can’t believe you lived life tentatively, afraid, in fear — of what?  Life?  Love? Bad Things?  Good Things? The Unknown?  The Known? No more…you’re free just to be who you are – right now.

You can now recognize quicker what is and what is not for you.  You are now aware that the first thing that pops into your mind may not be the right thing or the only thing.  You don’t have to be perplexed about what  you’re going to do, or pursue.  You’re even understanding of situations that don’t turn out alright –  it might not be the thing for you or the place that you need to go.

Just let things marinate for a while if  the path is not clear.  Sometimes you will know right away and other times you need to allow time for things to become clear.  The most interesting thing is that you now know when to act and when to wait.

This is what it feels like when you in balance and no longer afraid of life no matter what comes into your mind or into your life  – you are just allowing it to happen.

Just Listen To Others

We need to hold each others dreams.

We need to believe in ourselves and we need to understand that others need us to believe in them too.

We need to try to see other people.

Try to hear them clearly.

Hear their pain.  Hear their joy. Hear their ideas.

Listen to their stories.  Everybody that you meet has a story and everybody wants to tell it – to someone.

Listen to the people in your life.  Hear them.  Even if you’re tired of listening to them.  Listen to them from your heart.

There is something powerful about giving of yourself without losing yourself.

There is something powerful about believing so strongly and having the ability to help others to believe in themselves, in their abilities, in reaching their goals, and using their highest skills and talents.

There is something powerful about giving people the opportunity to hear themselves think out loud and to tell their story like a myth that can be changed with just one decision.

Sometimes it takes just one decision to change a life story and all people need is someone to hear them out – to just listen.

Just Go...Let Go of Your "Normal" Schedule & Go

Seems when I just go and do things that I’m led to do I have the most rewarding experiences.

So this weekend I just went…

To See A  Documentary

Heard on NPR there was a documentary being shown at a local church.  So, I just went to see the documentary called The Final Gift about a lady who lost her brother to murder and her journey to make sense of it.  It led her to get a master’s degree in Criminal Justice, making a documentary, and not just talking about but actually participating in Restorative Justice.

Watching the documentary was interesting.  Listening to the filmmaker was interesting.  The most interesting thing is that out of tragedy she found her voice.  You could see and hear the passion in her voice and attitude. I went because of my brother’s murder and wondering if now was the time for me to “deal” with it, research it, call Atlanta PD cold case unit, and solve his murder after all these years.  I left thinking when the time is right I’ll know.  I guess for so long I’ve remembered what my uncle said at my brother’s funeral; “There are somethings that are not meant to be solved, they just are, like getting a cold.”   I still don’t feel the passion to pursue cracking open this case  – yet –  but watching this film and listening to the film-maker was a stepping stone and I’m glad I just went…

To A Funeral of The Lady I Didn’t Know

I always get the Friday paper to see what’s happening over the weekend. I never actually read the paper I just look at the section about what’s happening over the weekend.  Somehow, I decided to read the paper and I read about a lady who died who was like the housekeeper from “The Help” for a local family.  I guess that’s why it made the paper.  I thought it was interesting about first this making the paper and that you never know what experiences in your life will make you “make the paper” once you’re gone.

So, instead of going to exercise class (normal Saturday morning routine)  I decided to get dressed and go to her funeral.  I’ve never been to a funeral for someone I didn’t personally know.  I guess most people haven’t.  It was a very strange feeling, watching and listening to people who I didn’t know.  At some point I got nervous that someone was going to ask me how I knew this lady who had died…what would I say?…I read about her in the paper and decided to come…that sounded crazy…I kind of stuck out like a sore thumb.  I didn’t look like anyone there. No one asked me who I was, thank goodness.

The experience was very interesting –  I wondered/pondered/experienced the below:

• What do people think about when they look at corpses in a casket?
• Watching the people walk in single file to look at the lady in the casket knowing one day they will also die
• What about those people who take pictures of the person in the casket? I’m still trying to figure that out.
• One lady was talking to a friend and said; “When you’re 70 you’re not responsible for nothing.”  That’s what she told her children the other day.  I liked that comment!
• The older women wearing wigs.  I wondered when do women just get comfortable with themselves, their own hair, their bodies?  Does putting on your wig (not being who you really are)  go on forever until you die?
• The people talking, laughing having a good time before the family came in.
• The casket being crooked and the lack of attention to that detail.  We can live crooked lives because we aren’t paying attention enough to straighten things  out.  Once you see things are going crooked in your life you have to straighten it up, even if people see you straighten it up,  just straighten  it up.
• Why do people sign the register?  Is it like saying “present” when your name is called?
• There was an announcement made that the family was coming in.  That meant for the talking, laughter and general “it’s just an event, no one in my family died” conversation (reunion) to stop.
• The man in the grey suit with the white hat in his hand that made me think of my father and how he dressed.
• A final viewing???  I’d never heard of that, where the family got to see the body again before the casket was closed and the funeral began.
• The opening while they waited for the preacher to arrive – ” “Mother’ wasn’t a dead person, so don’t come in here to be a spectator (which is exactly what I was doing), we’re not in church but we’re going to give God praise like we’re in church (wondering if people really think that you have to go to church to give God praise), Take your brakes off and allow God to minister to your heart ( I liked that phrase), If you didn’t love her you wouldn’t be here (that’s not true, I didn’t even know her), I’m ready, Can you say you’re ready?, Mother was ready, Will you be ready? (the preaching into heaven and call to repentance in the beginning of the service?)…this “preaching” ends because the real preacher comes in.
• Then this young lady got up and really sang this song.  She sang I Won’t Complain.  I’d never heard that song before, but it was wonderful and she sang it like a ministry.  If I didn’t do anything else on this day watching that young lady with the big earrings sing that song would have been enough.  Here’s John Legend signing it “mildly” , but this young lady really sang the song with all her heart and soul.

• Back to the minster talking about how the lady had lived a beautiful life and that everyone’s heart was heavy. How she let her work – life speak for her and that when you’re resting in your grave there is nothing that can be said
• The mention that text messages of encouragement that were given.  I thought that was very modern to add that to the normal cards and phone calls.
• Admonishment to remember the legacy that “Mother” had left for her children.
• Mention of “Mother” being in the local paper and why and asking the young man she had taken care of to speak during the open time for anyone to speak.

After people started to get up and speak I left. I didn’t wait to hear the Eulogy.  I guess I got what I needed.  I’d let go of my normal schedule and just went…let go of fear… not really caring what someone might think or if I would get something out of it.

If you just go where the universe is telling you to go, you will get what you need out of it…so just go…let go of your routine…and go.

 

 

 

 

Just Quit Running At The First Sign of Rain

While on my daily walk around the track/basketball court at the local elementary school it started to rain.

There were several young boys playing basketball  – and –  at the first sign of rain they ran.

I knew that even  if it down-poured I was going to continue to walk around that track.

Even In The Rain

I watched them run away and get on their bikes and ride away.

Inside of a minute the rain stopped and I wondered if they would come back. They didn’t. They had aborted their game and their fun –  at the first sign of rain.

Ten minutes later the down-pour started.  I continued to walk, got drenched, but I felt free.

Then suddenly the rain stopped and the sun came out.

I continued to walk around the track.

Life Lessons:

1.  In life there will be both rain (“bad” things) and sunshine (“good” things) – embrace both the rain and the sunshine that comes in your life.

2. The rain can come as sprinkles (small manageable “bad” things) or as down-pours (knock you off your feet “bad” things) – but you still need to stay and face those things.

3. Don’t let the weather (good or bad things)  determine your actions (mood, thoughts, purpose, path, goals) – if you know where you’re suppose to be and doing what you’re suppose to be doing, keep going.

4. Sometimes the rain starts small (maybe it’s a sign of things to come), then it stops (maybe it’s over) and comes back with a vengeance (will it ever end?).  Just like tests in life you get to decide what you are going to do when it rains.  Do you run or walk on in and through the rain until the sun shines again?

5.  Sometimes you need to walk though the rain to see what it feels like and see what happens. Once you’ve experienced it and made it out on the other end you realize, it wasn’t as scary as you thought.  You grew. You learned.  You made it through that. It’s now apart of your story. (Remember, we all have a story)

The Rain Always Stops

Those boys were too young to know that the rain would stop.

As adults we can sometimes be like those young boys when facing life  situations – we run a the first sign of trouble – in relationships, in jobs, in new towns, in organizations, in idea creation, in inventions, and in business endeavors –  but if you know where you’re going and what you’re doing you can stay put if you know you’re on the right track — your track — your path.

You do have a path – a track that once you get on it that doors will open that you didn’t know were there.  Once you get on that path and are okay with your journey of life then you can stop being afraid of the rain that will come in your life.  You can appreciate the rain weather you decide to walk on through it (face stuff)  and stop running (out of fear) of what could happen (probably won’t) or you can decide to run (until you realize that rain will continue to come in your life and you’ve gotta embrace it in order to grow).

But When Do You Run?

When it starts lightning which is a sign to Retreat, Reflect and Review what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
