To Give AND To Receive!
To receive is just as much from the heart as giving!
Much has been said about allowing ourselves to receive (which is just as important as giving), but how many of us really know how to do it? I would count myself among those who – rather unwittingly – seem to resonate with the old adage “it is better to give than to receive.”
I’ve always considered myself a giving person. Giving of my time, energy, compassion, laughter, and yes, some of the more material things in life too (my present wrapping skills are top notch!). I’m a natural giver. It comes to me very easily. I do what I do because I want to, and because I know it makes a difference in people’s lives. I like making people feel special, and I’ve been told I have a particular talent for it.
However, receiving is another story!
Oh, I know that you can’t have giving without receiving. I also know that someone else has always been on the receiving end of my giving. Becoming the receiver myself has always been difficult. It’s not that I’m not appreciative. I am! Deeply and truly appreciative. However, on some level, a part of me seems to wonder if I really deserve it. I wonder if you feel the same way?
Of course, it’s easier with the smaller things. You made cookies for me? Thank you, that was very nice. I need a ride to work while my car is in the shop? Your kindness is so appreciated. And when I needed to shoulder to cry on, you were the very support I needed. But as soon as a certain threshold is reached, that little voice inside my head pipes up and says that it is too much. Too much money spent, too much of an imposition for you, too much of yourself shared with me. “Who am I,” the voice proclaims, “to deserve so much?” This often stops me in my tracks and causes me to feel hesitant, insecure, and even bad about being on the receiving end of such a lovely gift. Why do I not feel worthy enough to receive such a large expression of kindness? From being on the giving end, I can tell you that I enjoy making people feel special and doing things to let them know I care. I certainly feel as though they are worthy of my gifts. Why then, would the same not be true for me?
Clearly, this is something for me to explore in more depth. In the meantime, I am going to work on receiving with gratitude instead of meeting it with insecurity. In fact, this may be the only New Year’s resolution I set this year! If you find that you also have difficulty receiving, I invite you to join me. We’ll soon find that is better to both give AND to receive!

F.E.A.R.
When did I first know fear?
– Was I afraid of being born into this world while I was still in the womb?
– Was I afraid to be separated when the umbilical cord was cut?
– Did my mother pass along fears she may have had during my birth as a result of her miscarriage before her pregnancy with me?
– Was I afraid of moving from the protective darkness of the womb into the light of the world?
I continue to wonder if fear is innate to the human experience, and if so, if fear is something we need to learn to live with so that it empowers rather than impedes us. Maybe security blankets and night lights are just the beginning of ways we learn to live with it when we are babies. And then what?
Throughout my life, I have experienced the duality of fear:
– Fear of not knowing; fear of knowing
– Fear of being lost and alone; fear of losing myself in others
– Fear of looking at my authentic self in the mirror; fear of not recognizing who I see
– Fear of being too smart; fear of not being smart enough
– Fear of the unknown; fear of the known
– Fear of the dark; fear of the light
– Fear of making the wrong move; being frozen with fear
– Fear of failure; fear of success
– Fear that happiness is temporary; fear that sadness isn’t
– Fear of loving too much; fear of loving too little
– Fear of feeling smothered by love; fear of starving for love
– Fear of being in a relationship where my authentic self isn’t flourishing; fear of being alone
– Fear of knowing myself; fear of not knowing who I am
My journey has enabled me to realize that my fears are based on not fully loving myself unconditionally. Fear may live in our past. But I have realized that in each moment of our present, we have a choice to love ourselves unconditionally, and in doing so, to say no to living in fear.
I am still learning how to:
– Live with fears that arise by observing them and seeing how they could serve and empower me rather than sabotage and impede me.
– Open my heart and let unconditional love and light lift me out of fear
– Transform fear into something I can live with and not in, so that my authentic self can flourish
As I reframe my perspective on fear, I am reframing/transforming acronyms for F.E.A.R. into:
– Forget Everything And Remember
– Face Everything And Rejoice
– Feel Excited And Ready
– Forget Everything And Relax
– Face Everything And Remember
– Fortunately Everything is All Right
– Feel Entirely Absolutely Resourceful
What does F.E.A.R. stand for to you?

I should’ve bought that bottle of wine
I’d drink it down in no time
Drown my sorrows, run from my past
Except I know now, this never lasts
No denying what’s happened
In this life of mine
Pure excavation, doing my time
To weed out, to blend, to mend
To reap, to sow, no fitting in
An outcast, a comic, no believer in sin
A mother, a sister, an old dear friend
Tried and true – weathered and worn
No sleep in the night – I must always fight
For freedom – for liberty – no path to the right
So stand up I must – no easy way out
Face demons returned, for the final bout.

Into my Flame of Wholeness
I cast my Akashic records
Records of lessons and lives.
Into my Flame of Wholeness
I cast my emotions
Emotions of lessons and lives
Of ego and separation.
Into my Flame of Wholeness
I cast my creation
Creation of lessons and lives
Of ego and separation
Of light and darkness.
Into my Flame of Wholeness
I cast my wholeness.

Creating a Healing Vortex… Anywhere!
As energy and vibratory levels raise within each of us, taking better care of our bodies becomes natural. I recently joined a gym! I can’t understand why I didn’t do that sooner! Near me, Planet Fitness is a great place to be! It’s a “Judgment-Free Zone” and everyone seems to keep to themselves… unless, of course, you are an energy healing facilitator (hee hee!!!).
I’m sharing an experience I had there because it may give the opportunity for someone else to spread some more love to many.
Tranquilly pedaling on a stationary bike, off in la-la land, I suddenly felt the urge to go faster. I remembering actually going into a trance-like state and as I continued to take flight, I realized that I was creating a light vortex! I saw the entire building turn into an energy vortex before my eyes and I began sending out an offering to assist healing to each and every athlete there, including their families. My heart exploded with love and joy… it was an amazing 15-minute experience that I will never forget.
It is magical when events like this take place without planning. Living in the moment and creating love is what it is all about now!
Have a beautiful, magical week! BE LOVE!!! Embrace change!
Unconditionally, Lovingly yours,
