Unconditional Love Is Everywhere

I SEE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE EVERYWHERE … ready to be acknowledged in any moment.

  • It’s the part of me that gets totally energized when I’ve opened up to another solution.
  • It’s the part of me that overflows with an understanding of what someone else might be going through.
  • It’s the part of me that feels my heart flutter just thinking about my lover, just listening to the laughter of children or just witnessing the wide smile of a stranger.
  • It’s the part of me that accepts myself totally, even if I “think” I’ve done something wrong.
  • It’s the part of me that lightens up a seriously boring conversation.
  • It’s the part of me that knows I’m worthy and remembers that everyone else is too.
  • It’s the part of me that sees the best in whatever is happening.
  • It’s the part of me that gets up in the middle of the night to comfort a crying baby, not because I feel obligated, but just because I can!
  • It’s the part of me that gives, just because it feels really, really good.
  • It’s the part of me that loves, even when the other does not.
  • It’s the part of me that feels completely connected to the “oneness”.

It’s the part of me that gets so much pleasure from smelling freshly baked bread, walking barefoot on the sand, patting the dog, waking up next to my mate each morning, and feeling deep appreciation just to be alive … that it just spills out and showers over others. ~ (NEW Confessions #731)

It’s Good That I’m Not Perfect

If I was perfect you wouldn’t grow. You’d become dependent on me being there forever and forget the incredible feeling of success you have … when you reach for something you want and get there, all by yourself.

If I was perfect you wouldn’t be happy. You’d keep expecting me to be your entertainer, your mind reader, your rescuer, (your mother … lol) and never discover how brilliant you really are … when you need to step up and find happiness no matter where you are, no matter who you’re with and no matter what’s going on around you.

If I was perfect you wouldn’t know your own power. You’d keep expecting me to be the catalyst for your alignment and never get to experience the peace, the security and the immense appreciation you feel … when you realise you truly are the creator of your own life.

If I was perfect you wouldn’t become a leader. You’d keep putting me on a pedestal and try to knock me off instead of finding good reasons to lead the way … when you are faced with something so big that it requires you to lift yourself up and carry others along with you.

If I was perfect you wouldn’t learn how to love fully. You’d keep believing that love is about the worthiness of others instead of the incredible qualities you need to find deep inside yourself … when you have no other choice but to allow everything to be just as it is, or deny the amazing person you know you’re really capable of being.

You Are Loved

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED FOR WHO YOU ARE … without needing to change, without needing to prove you’re worthy, without needing to lose weight, give up addictions, choose the right religion, worship the one true God, subscribe to meditation, confess your sins, right your wrongs, forgive your enemies, please your parents, follow the rules … without expressing gratitude, without feeling loving, without any requirements at all?

Inside your own heart is a place where total and utter unconditional love resides. You can touch it with your hand, feel it through a deeper breath, sense it in the stillness, see it as the light, taste it through a smile, call it in your darkest hour and know it as the essence of life itself.

You are never alone. Your own inner YOU is always waiting for you to remember how connected you really are.

[an excerpt from Leading A Relationship Into The Light]

When No Words Are Necessary

THE MOST DIVINE FACETS OF NATURE … call for simplified words to describe them; like awesome, amazing, majestic, magnificent.

THE MOST CLARIFYING EXPERIENCES OF LIFE … require few words to convey them; like alignment, openness, surrender, acceptance and the deepest appreciation.

THE MOST INTIMATE ASPECTS OF LOVE … need no words at all: just a remembrance of the feeling of oneness with all of life.

Kind Wishes For Anyone Starting Over

May you notice happiness in sadness,
Triumph in defeat,
Find comfort in discomfort,
And many new friends to meet.

Know that those who are NOT like us,
Are an equally valuable find.
And see that ending are beginnings,
Of just a different kind.

Feel the soul of your inner child,
Who sits hungry at your feet,
knowing that growth and appreciation
Are the ways to feel complete.

Let love dominate your relationships,
And peace pervade your mind,
Remember, the way we’ve shown our love for others,
Is the legacy we leave behind. (2007)

What Is Forgiveness?

I UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTS OF FORGIVENESS …

You don’t forgive someone because THEY need it. They usually don’t give a rats what you think!

You forgive someone because YOU need it. You need to live with a full heart, not a heavy one. You need to forget the problems of the past, not take the pain of it along with you. You need to remember your own freedom to focus on what makes you happy, not blame someone else for how you’re feeling.

Forgiveness doesn’t help others in any way at all … But it helps you live more closely to the essence of the loving, non-judgmental, peaceful hearted, empowered creator you really are!

And now I know, that if I never judged anyone in the first place, forgiveness wouldn’t even be necessary. ~ CONFESSION #940

I Fall In Love With Something Every Day

I KNOW HOW WE FALL IN AND OUT OF LOVE

FALLING IN LOVE is the sensation we feel when we surrender to fully opening our hearts and minds, choose to love unconditionally and re-connect to our own soul. We often “attach” this FEELING to the other person, experience or object that stimulated it – but they are simply the catalyst – We were all born to love and when we choose to do so without expecting anything in return, we remember who we really are at the core of our being. ~ ER

We FALL OUT OF LOVE by doing a similar thing in reverse, and often mistakenly attach to our mate, the unpleasant sensation we feel when we’ve closed our hearts and minds and placed conditions on our love – but the other person is simply the catalyst – and we are using them as our excuse for not feeling the connection to our soul and being the incredibly loving person we know in our hearts is who we were always meant to be. ~ ER

CONFESSION #503

I’ve Had Help

The quality, ease and luxury of my life far exceeds anything I could have ever achieved alone.

For every time I didn’t know how I’d pay the bills, for every bout of depression that caused me to refocus, for every business idea that failed, for every relationship that made me reach for something better, for every person who gave me grief – I thank you!

You made me resourceful, you made me grow, you made me stronger, you made me take better care of myself, you made me want to live a richer life, you made me learn how to REALLY love, you made me find something far more sustainable and fulfilling, than winning the lottery could ever do.

You propelled me so much quicker, to where I was heading in the first place.
